摘要
Abstract
herosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease
occurring preferentially in bifurcation
branching
and bending of blood vessels exposed to disturbed flow. Disturbed flow in atheroprone areas activates elevated proteases
degrading elastin lamellae and collagenous matrix
resulting in endothelial dysfunction and vascular remodeling. As a mediator for extracellular matrix protein degradation
cathepsin K (CTSK) was directly regulated by hemodynamics and contributed to atherosclerosis. The mechanism of CTSK responding to disturbed flow and contributing to disturbed flow-induced atherosclerosis is unclear. In this study
the partial carotid ligation model of mice and
in vitro
disturbed shear stress model were constructed to explore the contribution and potential mechanism of CTSK in atherosclerosis. Our results indicated that CTSK elevated in the disturbed flow area
in vivo
and
in vitro
along with endothelial inflammation and atherogenesis. Additionally
the expression of integrin αvβ3 was upregulated in these atheroprone areas. We found that inhibition of the integrin αvβ3-cytoskeleton pathway could significantly block the activation of NF-κB and the expression of CTSK. Collectively
our findings unraveled that disturbed flow induces increased CTSK expression
and contributes to endothelial inflammation and vascular remodeling
leading to atherogenesis eventually. This study is helpful to provide new enlightenment for the therapy of atherosclerosis.
