Peptidylarginine Deiminases Inhibitors Decrease Endothelial Cells Angiogenic Potential by Affecting Akt Signaling and the Expression and Secretion of Angiogenic Factors.
Background/aims: Endothelial cells (ECs) play a crucial role in various physiological processes, particularly those related to the cardiovascular system, but also those affecting the entire organism. The biology of ECs is regulated by multiple biochemical stimuli and epigenetic drivers that govern gene expression. We investigated the angiogenic potential of ECs from a protein citrullination perspective, regulated by peptidyl-arginine deiminases (PADs) that modify histone and non-histone proteins. Although the involvement of PADs has been demonstrated in several physiological processes, inflammation-related disorders and cancer, their role in angiogenesis remains unclear.
Methods: To elucidate the role of PADs in endothelial angiogenesis, we used two human EC models: primary vein (HUVECs) and microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1). PADs activity was inhibited using irreversible inhibitors: BB-Cl-amidine, Cl-amidine and F-amidine. We analyzed all three steps of angiogenesis in vitro : proliferation, migration, and capillary-like tube formation, as well as secretory activities, gene expression and signaling in ECs.
Results: All used PAD inhibitors reduced the histone H3 citrullination (H3cit) mark, inhibited endothelial cell migration and capillary-like tube formation, and favored an angiostatic activity in HMEC-1 cells, by increasing PEDF (pigment epithelium-derived factor) and reducing VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) mRNA expression and protein secretion. Additionally, BB-Cl-amidine reduced the total activity of MMPs (Matrix metalloproteinases). The observed effects were underlined by the inhibition of Akt phosphorylation.>.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that pharmacological inhibitors of citrullination are promising therapeutic agents to target angiogenesis.
