Abstract
前列環素(prostacyclin, PGI2)已有文獻指出,不論是在人類或者是動物的模式上,對於改善動脈粥狀硬化有其有益的作用。我們利用具有保護血管功能的貝前列素鈉(beraprost sodium, BPS)(一種前列環素的相似物)在老鼠主動脈平滑肌細胞中來探討PGI2抑制動脈粥狀硬化的分子機轉。將細胞以BPS處理,利用同位素標定來觀察細胞增生,結果顯示BPS可以抑制由TPA所誘導的平滑肌細胞增生情形。分別再以反轉錄?-聚合?連鎖反應(RT-PCR)、西方墨點法和亞硝酸鹽分析(nitrite assay)的方法分析,則發現BPS會增加過氧化體增生活化受體δ(peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor, PPARδ)和誘導型一氧化氮生成?(inducible nitric oxide synthase, iNOS)的表現以及一氧化氮(nitric oxide, NO)的生成。此外,若以PPARδ的拮抗劑和iNOS抑制劑處理,則可以反轉由BPS誘導PPARδ及iNOS的表現,抑制細胞增生情形。有趣的是,PPARδ的拮抗劑會降低iNOS的表現,因此我們假設iNOS的表現可能會受到PPARδ的調節。除此之外,由luciferase的活性分析結果發現BPS可以促進iNOS基因啟動子的活性表現。另外,刪除iNOS基因啟動子區域上PPARδ的結合位置-1245 ~ -1222,則會降低luciferase的活性。這個結果顯示,位於老鼠iNOS啟動子上PPARδ的結合位置將是藉由PGI2調節iNOS基因表現的一個很重要的機制。綜合以上結果,我們發現PPARδ可藉由BPS而活化,調控iNOS的表現,並涉及ㄧ連串的訊息傳導路徑,達到抑制平滑肌細胞的增生,為臨床上預防動脈粥狀硬化的發生,提供一個很好的治療方向與目標。
