Abstract:

Objective To discuss the role of nuclear factor of activated T-cells 5 (NFAT5) inhibitor KRN5 in high salt-induced senescence of mouse vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and to clarify its mechanism. Methods Thirty 8-week-old male ApoE-/- mice were divided into normal group, senescence group and high-salt treatment senecence group, with 10 mice in each group; the mice in senescence group and high-salt treatment senecence group were used to establish natural senecence mouse models; the mouse VSMCs were isolated and cultured, and divided into normal group, senescence group, high-salt treatment senecence group and high-salt treatment senecence+KRN5 group. β-galactosidase (Sa-β-gal) staining was used to detect the senescence of aortic tissues and VSMCs in various groups; immunofluorescence method was used to detect the expressions of NFAT5 and phosphorylated histone H2A variant X (γ-H2AX) proteins in mouse aortic tissues and VSMCs in various groups; real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) method was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of NFAT5, γ-H2AX, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (P16) and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (P21) in the cells in various groups; Western blotting method was used to detect the protein expression levels of NFAT5, γ-H2AX, P16 and P21 in VSMCs in various groups. Results The Sa-β-gal staining results showed that compared with normal group, the proportions of senescence-positive area in aortic tissues of the mice in senescence group and high-salt treatment senecence group were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the proportion of senescence-positive cells in the VSMCs of the mice was significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with senecence group, the proportion of senescence-positive cells in the VSMCs mice in high-salt treatment senecence group was significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with high-salt treatment senecence group, the proportion of senescence-positive cells in the VSMCs of the mice in high-salt treatment senecence+KRN5 group was significantly decreased (P<0.01). The immunofluorescence results showed that compared with normal group, the expression level of γ-H2AX protein in mouse VSMCs of the mice in senescence group was significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with senescence group, the expression levels of SA-β-gal staining and NFAT5 protein in aortic tissue of the mice in high-salt treatment senecence group were significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with normal group, the expression level of NFAT5 protein in the VSMCs of the mice in senecence group and high-salt treatment senecence group was significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with senecence group, the expression level of NFAT5 protein in the VSMCs of the mice in high-salt treatment senecence group was significantly increased (P<0.05). The RT-qPCR results showed that compared with normal group, the expression levels of NFAT5, γ-H2AX, P16, and P21 mRNA in the VSMCs of the mice in senescence group and high-salt treatment senecence group were significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with senecence group, the mRNA expression levels of NFAT5, γ-H2AX, P16, and P21 mRNA in the VSMCs of the mice in high-salt treatment senecence group were significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with senecence group, the expression levels of NFAT5, γ-H2AX, P16, and P21 mRNA in the VSMCs of the mice in high-salt treatment senecence group and high-salt treatment senecence+KRN5 group were significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with high-salt treatment senecence group, the mRNA expression levels of NFAT5, γ-H2AX, P16, and P21 in the VSMCs of the mice in high-salt treatment senecence+KRN5 group were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The Western blotting results showed that compared with normal group, the expression levels of NFAT5, γ-H2AX, P16, and P21 proteins in the VSMCs of the mice in senescence group and high-salt treatment senecence group were significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with senescence group, the expression levels of NFAT5, γ-H2AX, P16, and P21 proteins in the VSMCs of the mice in high-salt treatment senecence group were significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with senecence group, the expression levels of NFAT5, γ-H2AX, P16, and P21 proteins in the VSMCs of the mice in high-salt treatment senecence group and high-salt treatment senecence+KRN5 group were significantly increased (P<0.05); compared with high-salt treatment senecence group, the expression levels of NFAT5, γ-H2AX, P16, and P21 proteins in the VSMCs of the mice in high-salt treatment senecence+KRN5 group were significantly decreased (P<0.05).
