摘要

Phenotype transition of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is implicated in vascular diseases. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a perspective cardiovascular target due to its ability of converting angiotensin (Ang II) to Ang (1-7). Our group recently showed that ACE2 can regulate the function of endothelial progenitor cell-derived exosomes (EPC-EXs). Here, we investigate whether ACE2 could affect the role of EPC-EXs on phenotype transition of VSMCs. After co-incubation with EXs released from EPC overexpressed ACE2 (EPC-EXs(ACE2)), the ACE2 level and Ang II/Ang (1-7), proliferation/migration, phenotype gene, cytokine and NF-kappa B level on VSMCs were assessed. To determine the EX uptake route, VSMCs were pretreated with inhibitors. We found that (1) EPC-EXs and EPC-EXs(ACE2)were uptaken by VSMCs dominantly through caveolin-dependent endocytosis. (2) EPC-EXs(ACE2)remarkably increased the ACE2 level and decreased Ang II/Ang (1-7) in VSMCs activated by Ang II, whereas EPC-EXs(ACE2)pretreated by proteinase A blocked this effect. (3) EPC-EXs(ACE2)had better effects than EPC-EXs on reducing proliferation/migration activities and cytokine (MCP-1, TNF-alpha) secretion of Ang II-activated VSMCs. (4) EPC-EXs attenuated Ang II-induced VSMC synthetic phenotype change as evidenced by upregulated expressions of calponin and a-SMA and downregulated expressions of CRBP-1 and MYH10, associated with a decreased NF-kappa B level. EPC-EXs(ACE2)augmented these effects, which were attenuated by ACE2 inhibitor (DX600). In conclusion, EPC-EXs(ACE2)reduced Ang II-induced VSMC phenotype change by conveying functional ACE2 to downregulate the activated NF-kappa B pathway.
