PDGFRβ signalling regulates local inflammation and synergizes with hypercholesterolaemia to promote atherosclerosis

Abstract: Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a mitogen and chemoattractant for vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, the direct effects of PDGF receptor β (PDGFRβ) activation on VSMCs have not been studied in the context of atherosclerosis. Here, we present a new mouse model of atherosclerosis with an activating mutation in PDGFRβ. Increased PDGFRβ signaling induces chemokine secretion and leads to leukocyte accumulation in the adventitia and media of the aorta. Furthermore, PDGFRβD849V amplifies and acce… Show more

“…PDGF-D is a relatively novel member of PDGFs, which signal via Pdgfrb. 29,30 It stimulates VSMC migration and proliferation, monocytes/macrophage recruitment, and increased secretion of MMPs in various cell types. 46,47 Although we did not assess the involvement of VSMCs specifically in this study, we did observe enhanced macrophage and T-cell infiltration and MMP expression at the site of aortic lesion.…”

“…Hypercholesterolemia remains one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality [1][2][3][4]. High plasma cholesterol levels trigger a cascade of events, including inflammation [5], oxidative stress [6] and cell damage [7,8], particularly in the cardiovascular system [3]. Additionally, we have previously shown that hypercholesterolemia increases oxidative stress in different cell types [6,7,9,10], including bone marrow mononuclear cells [8].…”

“…Previous studies found that YY1 participate in the transport of lipoprotein through SREBP-1a (Ericsson et al, 1999;Gauthier et al, 1999). Recently, He et al (2015) showed that STAT1 deletion alleviated inflammation of the arterial wall and decreased plaque burden through PDGFRb pathway. Laguna-Fern andez et al (2015) found that the upregulation of JAK-STAT pathway induced endothelial transcriptomic changes after ox-LDL treatment.…”
