摘要

Rationale: Abnormal phenotypic switch of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) is a hallmark of vascular disorders such as atherosclerosis and restenosis after angioplasty. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as important regulators for VSMC function, and we recently identified miR-663 as critical for controlling human aortic smooth muscle cell proliferation. Objective: To investigate whether miR-663 plays a role in human VSMC phenotypic switch and the development of neointima formation. Methods and Results: By using quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, we found that miR-663 was significantly downregulated in human aortic VSMCs on platelet-derived growth factor treatment, whereas expression was markedly increased during VSMC differentiation. Furthermore, we demonstrated that overexpression of miR-663 increased expression of VSMC differentiation marker genes, such as smooth muscle 22?, smooth muscle ?-actin, calponin, and smooth muscle myosin heavy chain, and potently inhibited plateletderived growth factor-induced VSMC proliferation and migration. We identified the transcription factor JunB and myosin light chain 9 as downstream targets of miR-663 in human VSMCs, because overexpression of miR-663 markedly inhibited expression of JunB and its downstream molecules, such as myosin light chain 9 and matrix metalloproteinase 9. Finally, we showed that adeno-miR-663 markedly suppressed the neointimal lesion formation by ?50% in mice after vascular injury induced by carotid artery ligation, specifically via decreased JunB expression. Conclusions: These results indicate that miR-663 is a novel modulator of human VSMC phenotypic switch by targeting JunB/myosin light chain 9 expression. These findings suggest that targeting miR-663 or its specific downstream targets in human VSMCs may represent an attractive approach for the treatment of proliferative vascular diseases.
