Abstract
Background/Aims: Diabetes affects the entire vascular system and accelerates atherosclerosis and ischemia. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with or without stenting is the main therapeutic strategies; however, the restenosis rate is high in diabetics. Sulfonylureas (SUs) are widely prescribed agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and function by interacting with sulfonylurea receptors (SURs), which also exists in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), give rise to the potential that SUs influence VSMCs. The proliferation and migration of VSMCs play important roles in the formations of primary stenosis and restenosis, especially the latter. However, there are no data about the exact effects of SUs on these processes. Methods: Human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) were exposed to SUs prior to exposure to 30mM glucose. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK8 assay. Cell migration was detected by wound healing assay and transwell assay. Protein expression was determined by immunofluorescence and western blot. Diazoxide was used to evaluate the role of KATP channel in these processes. Results: The proliferation and migration of HASMCs were significantly aggravated by glibenclamide and glimepiride, and their effects were reversed by diazoxide. In contrast, above characteristics of HASMCs were apparently inhibited by gliclazide, and this was maintained after opening the KATP channel. Conclusion: These results imply that KATP channels play an important part in proliferation and migration of VSMCs induced by glibenclamide and glimepiride. In contrast, the inhibitory effect of gliclazide on VSMCs appeared to have more potential for the prevention of vascular obstructive diseases in T2DM.
Introduction
Diabetes mellitus affects the entire vascular system and diabetic vascular complications are a major cause of disability and death [1]. Surgical bypass and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with or without stenting are often recommended [2]. Despite improvement in vascular interventions, the outcome for diabetic patients remains unsatisfactory [3]. Restenosis is still the main limiting factor of the long-term success of vascular intervention therapy, especially in diabetic patients [4].
Sulfonylureas (SUs), which promote insulin release from pancreatic β-cells by binding to sulfonylurea receptors (SURs) and inhibiting adenosine triphosphate sensitive potassium channels (KATP channels), are a class of oral antidiabetic drugs most commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes (T2DM)[5]. Prior studies have suggested aggravating or protective effects of SUs on restenosis, which are thought to be associated with insulin secretion and decrease in blood glucose [6]. However, no data about whether distinct effects exist between different sulfonylureas on proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is available. Our previous study showed that, compared with atherosclerosis, excessive migration and proliferation of VSMCs from the arterial media into the sub-endothelial and lumen space have been recognized as primary components in the development of restenosis [7], which is consistent with results obtained in other related studies [8, 9]. Moreover, restenotic intimal hyperplasia in diabetics differs from non-diabetics in that diabetic VSMCs exhibit increased rates of proliferation [10]. SURs, the main binding sites for SUs and KATP channel opener, have been identified in VSMCs [11]. Furthermore, several studies have shown that opening of the KATP channel is vasoprotective and could improve hypertension and ischemia [12]. Hence, SUs might impose detrimental effects on the prognosis of vascular intervention, which is a concern in clinical practice.
The objective of this study was to explore the effects of three commonly used SUs (glibenclamide, glimepiride, and gliclazide) on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs and the possible underlying mechanisms. Our results showed that glibenclamide and glimepiride, particularly the former, promote the proliferation and migration of VSMCs. These effects are mediated, at least in part, via closure of KATP channels on VSMCs. In contrast, gliclazide inhibited the proliferation and migration of VSMCs, which is associated with the decreased NF-κB activity.
Materials and Methods
Cell culture
Human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) were incubated in SMCM consisting of 500 mL of the basal medium, 10 mL of fetal bovine serum (FBS), 5 mL smooth muscle cell growth supplement, and 5 mL penicillin (100U/mL)/streptomycin (100ug/mL) solution and maintained at 37 ℃ in 5% CO2/95% mixed ambient air. HASMC experiments were performed on 5 to 8 passages.
Drugs, antibodies, and reagents
Glibenclamide, glimepiride, gliclazide and diazoxide (a KATP channel opener) were all purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis. MO) and were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and stored at -80 ℃ until use. Solutions of SUs as well as diazoxide were prepared fresh each day. Controls were performed in the presence of appropriate concentration of solvent (DMSO). Unless indicated, the other reagents were from Sigma-Aldrich. Antibodies were obtained from the following sources: anti-SUR2 from Sigma-Aldrich, anti-p-NF-κB-p65 (polyclonal) from Cell Signaling Technology (Beverly, MA), and anti-β-actin from Proteintech Group (Chicago, IL). All secondary antibodies (polyclonal) were obtained from Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories Inc. (West Grove, PA).
To investigate the effects of three SUs (glibenclamide, glimepiride, and gliclazide) on proliferation and migration of VSMCs, HASMCs were treated with these SUs. To further investigate the role of KATP channels in these processes, the HASMCs were treated with 100 µM diazoxide prior to exposure to the SUs.
Immunofluorescence assay
After fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilization with 0.1% Triton X-100, cells cultured on glass coverslips were incubated with antibodies against SUR2 (anti-ABCC9, Sigma-Aldrich, 1:100) at 4 ℃ overnight, incubated with corresponding Alexa Fluor 555-coupled secondary antibodies (1:200; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) at room temperature for 2 h, and mounted and subjected to examinations under a confocal laser scanning microscope (Fluoview FV1000, Olympus, Japan). Integrated optical intensity (IOD) was calculated by using Image-Pro Plus version 6.0 software (Media Cybernetics, Silver Spring, MD). The mean of the IOD values in the control group was obtained, and the IOD values were normalized to this mean value.
Cell viability assay
A Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay was employed to assess the viability of the cells. The HASMCs were seeded in 96-well plates at a concentration of 5×103 cells/mL and incubated at 37 ℃. Different doses of SUs (glibenclamide, glimepiride, and gliclazide) were added when most cells had attached to the well. After further incubation for 12, 24, 48 h, respectively, cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and 10µL CCK-8 solution at 10% dilution was added. The plate was then incubated at 37 ℃ for 1 h in an incubator. The absorbance at 450 nm was assayed using a microplate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). The means of the optical density (OD) of 3 wells among the indicated groups were used to calculate the percentage of cell viability according to the following formula: cell viability (%) = (ODtreatment group/ODcontrol group)×100. All experiments were triplicate.
Cell proliferation assay
The CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effects of SUs on VSMCs proliferation. HASMCs were seeded into a 96-well plate at a density of 5×103 cells/well overnight. Cells were then treated with glibenclamide (21 µmol/L), glimepiride (208 µmol/L) or gliclazide (2000 µmol/L) with SMCM for 24 h. Cells were pre-incubated with diazoxide (100 µmol/L) for 24 h before the addition of glibenclamide, glimepiride or gliclazide. Cell proliferation was determined using CCK-8 kits (Dojindo Molecular Technologies, Kumamoto, Japan) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Absorbency was measured at 450 nm by a microplate reader (Thermo Scientific, Millipore, Billerica, MA). The means of the OD of 3 wells among the indicated groups were used to evaluate the change in cell proliferation.
Wound healing assay
Wound healing tests were conducted on the basis of the protocol of Wang et al [13], with minor modifications. Briefly, the HASMCs were seeded into six-well plates at a density of 1×105 cells per well, and were cultured at 37 ℃ with 5% CO2 until a complete monolayer was formed. A scratch was made in the cell monolayer, and then the medium in the presence or absence of glibenclamide, glimepiride, gliclazide were added. The cells were washed and migration was assessed at 0 or 24 h. The initial and final wound sizes were measured using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD). Relative migration rate (%) was calculated on the basis of area of migration.
Transwell assay
Transwell migration assays were performed using a 24-well Transwell chamber (Corning, NY, USA). Cells were re-suspended in serum-free SMCM at 5×104 cells/mL and 200 µL of cell suspension was added to the upper chamber. SMCM containing 10% FBS in the presence or absence of glibenclamide, glimepiride, or gliclazide was added into the lower chamber. Diazoxide (100 µM) was added before the addition of other drugs. The chamber was incubated for 24 h at 37 ℃. The filter was carefully removed, and cells attached to the upper side were wiped off. Cells migrating through the filter and appearing on the lower side were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min and stained with 5% crystal violet. Following washing twice with PBS, the number of migrated cells in three randomly selected visual fields per well was counted under a microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) for statistical analysis.
Western blotting analysis
Protein isolation and western blot analysis were performed on samples obtained from each group of HASMCs. Protein concentrations in cell extracts were determined (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA). Equal amounts of the protein fractions of lysates were resolved over SDS-PAGE gels and transferred to PVDF membranes. After blocking with 5% skim milk or bovine serum albumin (BSA), membranes were incubated with primary antibodies. Corresponding secondary antibodies were used. Peroxidase activity was detected by chemiluminescence using and enhanced chemiluminescence detection system. Optical density of the bands was quantified by densitometric analysis using ImageJ software. β-Actin (#3700, Cell Signaling Technology) was used as an internal control.
Statistical analysis
All statistical analyses were performed using Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) 20.0 software (IBM, Armonk, NY). A Student’s t-test was used to assess statistical significance of the data within two groups. All data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). A value of P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results
Determination of SUR2 expression in HASMCs
Immunofluorescence assays were used to determine the expression of SUR2 in HASMCs and the negative control (Fig. 1A) was used to exclude auto-fluorescence. The results showed that SUR2 was widely expressed in HASMCs (Fig. 1B).
Effects of SUs on viability of HASMCs
Our results showed that exposure to SUs led to time and dose-dependent inhibition of cell viability of the HASMCs by CCK-8 assay. HASMCs treated with glibenclamide at concentration of 21 µmol/L, glimepiride 208 µmol/L, or gliclazide 2000 µmol/L for 24 h did not significantly affect cell viability. Thus, the above concentrations were used in our following tests.
Glibenclamide and glimepiride, rather than gliclazide, promoted proliferation and migration of HASMCs and the above effects were alleviated with KATP channel opening
To investigate the role of KATP channels in SUs-induced proliferation and migration of smooth muscle cells (SMCs), the HASMCs were treated with or without 100 µM of the putative KATP channel opener, diazoxide, for 24 h.
As shown in Fig. 1C and 1D, Glibenclamide and glimepiride, especially the former, significantly promoted the proliferation of VSMCs (P < 0.05 versus the control group). The above proliferative effects were markedly reversed by diazoxide (P < 0.05). However, the effects were different for gliclazide as it significantly inhibited the proliferation of VSMCs (P < 0.05 versus the control group), and was not obviously changed after opening the KATP channels.
Migration is another essential character of VSMCs in stenosis and restenosis. Data from wound healing assays (Fig. 2A and 2C) and transwell assays (Fig. 2E and 2G) indicated that glibenclamide (P < 0.05) and glimepiride (P < 0.05) notably stimulated the migration of HASMCs compared with that of control. However, diazoxide significantly suppressed the increased migration induced by glibenclamide and glimepiride (P < 0.05 versus the control group) (Fig. 2B, 2D, 2F and 2H). In contrast, gliclazide acted differently and it inhibited the migration of HASMCs (P<0.05 versus control group) (Fig. 2A, 2C, 2E and 2G). Diazoxide did not significantly influence the gliclazide-induced suppression on the migration of VSMCs (Fig. 2B, 2D, 2F and 2H).
Gliclazide inhibits the proliferation and migration of HASMCs by suppressing NF-κB activation
The limited effect of diazoxide on gliclazide-induced inhibition of the proliferation and migration of VSMCs may be the result of other factors or pathways rather than KATP channel that play major roles in these processes. NF-κB activation has been shown to be involved in the proliferation and migration of VSMCs in response to injury [14]. Research has indicated that gliclazide could inhibit bovine retinal endothelial cell proliferation by interfering with the NF-κB pathway [15]. Our results showed that the expression of p-NF-κB-p65 was reduced and the proliferation and migration of VSMCs were suppressed in the gliclazide-treated group (Fig. 3). To investigate the role of NF-κB in gliclazide-induced inhibitory effect on proliferation and migration of VSMCs, the NF-κB activator, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), was added into the medium after exposition to gliclazide. As shown in Fig. 3, pretreatment of HASMCs with PMA abrogated the inhibitory effects of gliclazide on VSMCs (P < 0.05).
Discussion
SUs have been reported to not only increase insulin secretion by binding to SUR and blocking KATP channels on β-cells but also interact with KATP channels in cardiovascular and peripheral vascular system in a similar way thus impairing the ischemic preconditioning and vascular tone [16-18]. However, SUs display differential sensitivity towards different SUR isoforms, and few studies have paid attention to their possible differential influence on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs, the major cells in restenosis progression.
Our results showed that SUR2 is widely expressed in VSMCs. It has been demonstrated that SUR2B/Kir6.1 is the primary functional isoform of KATP channels, which presumably mediates K+ transport, in VSMCs [19]. KATP channel activity has been evaluated in numerous cells by its sensitivity to adenosine triphosphate (ATP), SUs and K+-channel openers. Functional KATP channel exist as an octameric complex containing two distinct types of protein subunits. The channels consist of four inwardly rectifying potassium channel subunits (Kir 6.1 or Kir 6.2); each Kir subunit is associated with a larger regulatory SUR [20]. The molecular diversity of the KATP channel across species and tissue types is further expanded by the presence of multiple isoforms of SUR (SUR1, SUR2A and SUR2B) [21]. Different combinations of Kir6.x and SURs yield tissue-specific KATP channel subtypes with different physiological and pharmacological features [22, 23]. Serving as an inwardly rectifying K+ channel, KATP channels are critical for regulating the resting membrane potential of cells. Closure of KATP channels induced by specific SUs may depolarize the cell membrane, open voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels and increase Ca2+ influx [24]. Like KATP channels in other cells, those of VSMCs are now thought to play vital roles as mediators to a variety of pharmacological and endogenous vasodilators, as well as to changes in the metabolic activity that can directly influence blood flow in various tissues [25]. In addition, Cui et al. showed that the activity of KATP channels appears to be suppressed in proliferating pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) [26]. Iptakalim, a novel KATP channel opener, is reported to possess a potent anti-proliferative effect on PASMCs and airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) via the activation of KATP channels; thus, it is a promising option for treating pulmonary hypertension and chronic airway diseases [27, 28]. Moreover, the elevation of intracellular Ca2+ induced by the closure of KATP channels is an important regulator of many proliferation and migration factors, which enhance the proliferation and migration of VSMCs [29].
In our research, the proliferation and migration of VSMCs were significantly increased by glibenclamide and glimepiride, especially the former, while they were suppressed by gliclazide. To a certain extent, our results are in agreement with previous observation that glibenclamide and glimepiride, rather than gliclazide, can block the vasodilatation and increase in blood flow induced by diazoxide [30]. Furthermore, Geisen et al [31, 32]. showed that the inhibitory effect of glimepiride on vasodilatation is weaker than that of glibenclamide. As is known, both glibenclamide and glimepiride could combine with SUR2B, the major SUR subtype existing on VSMCs, and closed the KATP channels on the VSMCs. Despite the fact that glibenclamide and glimepiride do not discriminate between SUR1, SUR2A, and SUR2B, they vary in terms of sensitivity and specificity [33, 34]. Compared with glibenclamide, glimepiride dissociates quickly from SUR2B, the subunit that modulate the function of KATP channels on VSMCs, and the blockage is reversible [35]. These characteristics of glimepiride might be helpful to gain an understanding of its similar but weaker effects on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs compared with glibenclamide. Additionally, the present study also found that the proliferation and migration of VSMCs induced by glibenclamide and glimepiride could be alleviated or even reversed by a KATP channel opener, implying that closure of KATP channel contributes to the proliferation and migration of VSMCs induced by specific SUs.
In this study, gliclazide, another commonly used SU, showed an inhibitory effect on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs. Previous research has indicated that unlike glibenclamide and glimepiride, gliclazide interacts specially with the SUR1 but not with SUR2A or SUR2B; thus, it produces almost no cross-reactivity with KATP channels in VSMCs [36]. Moreover, in the present study, no significant changes were found before or after treatment with diazoxide in the gliclazide group, which also indicating that KATP channels play a limited role in the gliclazide-induced inhibition of the proliferation and migration of VSMCs. Therefore, factors or pathways other than KATP channels are thought to be involved in these processes. Recent studies have shown that gliclazide, a second generation SU, exerts its insulin-promoting effect by binding with SUR1, which also has an extrapancreatic effect (independent of the interaction with SUR) [37, 38]. NF-κB is a key player in the expression of inflammatory mediators and plays a crucial role in diabetic cardiovascular complications [39, 40]. Substantial evidence indicates that activation of the redox-sensitive transcription factor NF-κB is also implicated in the development of restenosis [41]. On the basis of the free radical scavenging activity of gliclazide and its ability to inhibit NF-κB activation, it is tempting to postulate that gliclazide may exert these effects by interfering with NF-κB-dependent signaling pathways. To verify this hypothesis, the NF-κB subunit p65 were tested in this study. The results showed that activation of NF-κB as well as the stimulatory effects of it on VSMCs was suppressed by gliclazide. In addition, the inhibitory effects of gliclazide on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs were counteracted or even reversed by an NF-κB activator. Herein, our findings suggested that gliclazide-induced NF-κB inactivation might play a vital role in the anti-proliferative and anti-migration effects on VSMCs.
There are a few limitations in this study. First, only three popular SUs (glibenclamide, glimepiride and gliclazide) were included, thus whether our finding could be generalized to other SUs need to be examined in future studies. Second, the potential mechanism of gliclazide in the inhibition of NF-κB has not yet been elucidated. The differences in the effects among different SUs on VSMCs require further exploration.
Conclusion
In summary, the major clinical implication of this study relates to the important role of the proliferation and migration of VSMCs in cardio- or peripheral vascular diseases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to confirm that SUs, especially glibenclamide, could promote the proliferation and migration of VSMCs in a KATP-dependent manner in high-glucose condition and these effects could be reversed by diazoxide. Whereas, gliclazide showed the opposite effect, it inhibited the proliferation and migration of VSMCs. Thus, SUs should not be regarded as a homogeneous drug class in terms of their tissue specificity and effects on extrapancreatic cells. Although the clinical relevance of the extra-pancreatic action of SUs is being widely discussed and remains controversial, choosing a highly specific drug with anti-proliferative actions would provide additional potential benefit for people with diabetic vascular diseases and in the treatment of diabetes.
