dc.description.abstract | The control of vascular tone is regulated by vascular smooth muscle cells and various
humoral factors such as Angiotensin II, prostaglandins, endothelin-1, cytokines, among
others. O-Glycosylation N-acetyl-glucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is a reversible post-translational
modification mediated by two enzymes O-GlcNAcase and O-GlcNAc transferase. Recent
studies suggest that O-GlcNAc may be involved in the contractile properties of the vascular
smooth musculature. There is evidence that high levels of O-GlcNAc are associated with
increased vasoconstriction and, in addition, it is noted that the increased levels of glycated
proteins with O-GlcNAc is capable of reducing the nitric oxide synthase expression,
impairing vasodilation . Additionally, it was observed that modulation of reactive oxygen
species (ROS) promote vascular dysfunction characterized by increased contraction and
relaxation decrease in vascular smooth muscle cells. Thus, we tested the hypothesis that
increased levels of protein O-GlcNAc, resulting in the production of ROS contributing to
vascular dysfunction. The aortic segments (from Wistar rats) incubated with PUGNAc for 12
hours and submitted to Dihydroethidine assay showed increased production of superoxide
anion, compared with the control group. The origin of the superoxide anion, in our study, was
increased due to increased protein expression of enzymes Nox-1 and Nox-4 involved in
superoxide anion production in vascular cells. Through vascular relaxation study
endothelium-dependent, we evaluated aortas treated with vehicle and PUGNAc and the
presence or absence of apocynin and Tiron. It was observed decreasing the relaxation ability
of the aorta treated with PUGNAc compared to vehicle. There was an increase in gene and
protein expression of TNF-α and TNF-α receptor in aortas treated with PUGNAc for 6 hours,
compared to the vehicle group. In aortas treated with PUGNAc for 12 hours, we observed a
decrease of the evaluation of protein expression of TGF-β compared to the vehicle group. It is
concluded that the induction of O-GlcNAc by incubating with PUGNAc, was capable of
inducing the production of ROS, and some cases of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and
therefore trigger vascular disorder characterized by a reduced relaxation endotheliumdependent these aortas. | |
