Red Wine Polyphenols Inhibit Proliferation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Downregulate Expression of Cyclin A Gene

Abstract: Background-Red wine polyphenols have been shown to contribute to the "French paradox" phenomenon, which consists of lower morbidity and mortality from coronary heart disease in the French population. Although vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation plays an important role in the progression of atherosclerotic lesions, the effects of red wine polyphenols on VSMC proliferation have not been elucidated. Methods and Results-We extracted the total polyphenolic fraction from red wine (RW-PF) by column chrom… Show more

“…12 In the present study, RWPs strongly inhibited the proliferation and DNA synthesis of PDGF-BB-stimulated SMCs; however, the ERK1/2 phosphorylation, which is known to relate to cell growth, 17 was not inhibited by RWPs (up to 30 g/mL). These results suggest that the inhibitory effects of RWPs on cell-cycle progression in SMCs do not depend on the ERK1/2 pathway.…”

“…12 It is well known that the ERK1/2 pathway is important in growth factor-induced proliferation. 17 However, PDGF-BB-induced activation of ERK1/2 in SMCs was not significantly inhibited by RWPs, as shown in Figure 4B.…”

“…Apoprotein E (Apo E)-deficient mice also showed reduced atherosclerosis progression when fed RW (14). RW also causes monocyte chemotactic protein-1 expression blockade and reduced neointimal hyperplasia after balloon injury in rabbits (15), inhibition of smooth muscle cell proliferation and of cyclin A expression (16), as well as inhibition of the plateletderived growth factor receptor by RW flavonoids in cultured smooth muscle cells (17) -all of them factors contributing to atherogenesis.…”
