| Popis: | Background RIP2 is an adaptor protein contributing to the activation of nuclear factor-κB induced by TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF) and nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD)-dependent signaling implicated in innate and adaptive immune response. Beyond regulation of immunity, we aimed to elucidate the role of RIP2 in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic modulation. Methods and results In the current study, we observed that RIP2 showed an increased expression in VSMCs with PDGF-BB stimulation in a dose-dependent manner. Knockdown of RIP2 expression mediated by adenovirus dramatically accelerated the expression of VSMC-specific differentiation genes induced by PDGF-BB. Silencing of RIP2 inhibited proliferative and migratory ability of VSMCs. Additionally, we demonstrated that RIP2 knockdown can promoted myocardin expression. Furthermore, RIP2 inhibition also can attenuate the formation of intimal hyperplasia. Conclusions These findings suggested that RIP2 played an important role in regulation of VSMCs differentiation, migration, and proliferation that may due to affect myocardin expression. Our results indicated that RIP2 may be a novel therapeutic target for intimal hyperplasia. |
