Members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family have been clinically applied to the treatment of ischemic diseases because of their strong angiogenic actions. Although tissue ischemia is predominantly caused by atherosclerosis, the roles of endothelial FGF receptors (FGF-Rs) in atherosclerosis remain obscure. We generated endothelial cell (EC)-targeted constitutively active FGF-R2-overexpressing mice, using the Tie2 promoter (Tie2-FGF-R2-Tg), and crossed them with apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-deficient mice (ApoE-KO) to generate Tie2-FGF-R2-Tg/ApoE-deficient mice (Tie2-FGF-R2-Tg/ApoE-KO). After being fed a Western diet for 8 wk, the Tie2-FGF-R2-Tg/ApoE-KO demonstrated 2.0-fold greater atherosclerotic lesion area on the luminal surfaces of the aortas than the ApoE-KO (P < 0.01). The level of p21(Cip1) protein, a cell cycle inhibitor, in the FGF-R2-overexpressing EC was 2.5-fold greater than that in the wild-type (WT) EC at the baseline (P < 0.01). FGF-R2 overexpression in the EC resulted in increased expression of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1, acceleration of apoptosis, and decreased proliferative activity, all of which were normalized by small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown of p21(Cip1) (75% reduction in protein level, P < 0.01). Furthermore, the expression of PDGF-B and Egr-1, a PDGF/p21(Cip1)-inducible transcription factor, in the aortic endothelium of Tie2-FGF-R2-Tg/ApoE-KO was significantly greater than that in ApoE-KO. The proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells in the aortic media of Tie2-FGF-R2-Tg/ApoE-KO was 2.0-fold higher than that in ApoE-KO (P < 0.01). Thus our study reveals that endothelial FGF-R2 signaling aggravates atherosclerosis by promoting p21(Cip1)-mediated EC dysfunction and cautions against the use of FGF for therapeutic angiogenesis in the setting of atherosclerosis. |
