| Popis: | Injury to the vascular endothelium and the subsequent inflammatory response are considered prerequisites for the development of atherosclerosis. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) production by and monocyte adhesion to aortic endothelial cells (EC) may participate in this inflammatory process and therefore are two potential targets for control by anti-inflammatory agents. Our previous studies have demonstrated that monocyte adhesion and PDGF production are stimulated by thrombin in EC. Here, we provide evidence that treatment of EC with the anti-inflammatory agent 3-deazaadenosine (c3Ado) effectively abolished thrombin-stimulated PDGF production and monocyte adhesion. c3Ado had no significant effect on either basal monocyte adhesion or constitutive PDGF production. c3Ado was also effective in negating monocyte adhesion induced by other agonists, such as interleukin-1, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), and lipopolysaccharide. Northern analysis demonstrated that c3Ado significantly reduced thrombin- and PMA-stimulated steady-state levels of PDGF-A chain, PDGF-B chain, and endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule-1 (ELAM-1) mRNAs. Nuclear run-on studies demonstrated that a marked transcriptional activation of these genes by thrombin and PMA was abrogated by c3Ado treatment. The transcriptional rate of the alpha-tubulin gene was unaffected by the drug. Antibody binding studies with an anti-ELAM-1 monoclonal antibody 7A9 revealed that thrombin-stimulated EC expression of ELAM-1 was abolished by c3Ado, indicating that the suppression of ELAM-1 expression on EC surface may be a mechanism by which c3Ado interferes with monocyte adhesion. Experiments with the nucleoside transport inhibitor nitrobenzylthioinosine suggested that the transport of c3Ado into EC was required for its inhibitory activity. In addition, L-homocysteine thiolactone was found to potentiate the inhibitory activity of c3Ado, suggesting that the accumulation of intracellular c3Ado homocysteine may be the underlying mechanism by which c3Ado inhibits thrombin-induced EC function. Taken together, these results indicate that c3Ado may prove effective against vascular injury and inflammation through its ability to inhibit induction of both monocyte adhesion and PDGF production. |
