SIRT1, a NAD(+) -dependent histone deacetylase, has been shown to act as a key regulator of angiogenesis. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of resveratrol (RSV, a SIRT1 activator) on the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) signaling pathway and to establish its relevance to choroidal neovascularization (CNV), a blinding complication of age-related macular degeneration. Western blot and ELISA assay showed that RSV inhibited hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α accumulation and VEGF secretion induced by cobalt chloride (CoCl2) through SIRT1 in human retinal pigment epithelial (hRPE) cells. Furthermore, RSV down-regulated VEGFR2 phosphorylation and activation induced by VEGF in endothelial cells via SIRT1. Thus, the inhibitory effect of RSV on the HIF-1α/VEGF/VEGFR2 signaling axis is mediated, at least in part, through SIRT1. The results suggest that targeting SIRT1 could have therapeutic potential for the treatment of CNV.
SIRT1是一种依赖烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸(NAD(+))的组蛋白脱乙酰酶,已被证明是血管生成的关键调节因子。本研究旨在确定白藜芦醇(RSV,一种SIRT1激活剂)对血管内皮生长因子受体2(VEGFR2)信号通路的影响,并确定其与脉络膜新生血管(CNV)的相关性,CNV是年龄相关性黄斑变性的致盲并发症。蛋白质免疫印迹法和酶联免疫吸附测定法表明,RSV通过SIRT1抑制人视网膜色素上皮(hRPE)细胞中由氯化钴(CoCl2)诱导的缺氧诱导因子(HIF)-1α积累和VEGF分泌。此外,RSV通过SIRT1下调内皮细胞中由VEGF诱导的VEGFR2磷酸化和激活。因此,RSV对HIF-1α/VEGF/VEGFR2信号轴的抑制作用至少部分是通过SIRT1介导的。结果表明,靶向SIRT1可能对CNV的治疗具有潜在的治疗价值。
