- W3206398962 abstract "Abstract Introduction NADPH oxidase (NOX) 4-generated H2O2 has anti-atherosclerotic properties in conduit arteries like the aorta and carotids. However, the role of NOX4 on vascular function of small resistance arteries and blood pressure in a mouse model of familial hypercholesterolemia is unknown. Purpose We evaluated whether NOX4-generated H2O2 might play a role in perivascular adipose tissue of the thoracic aorta (tPVAT) and small resistance arteries on vascular function in a mouse model of familial hypercholesterolemia. Methods Aortic segments and mesenteric arteries from 26-week-old Ldlr−/− and Nox4−/− / Ldlr−/− mice were analysed by Mulvany myograph. In addition, vascular contraction and relaxation was analysed in the presence of L-NAME and catalase. Analysis of mRNA expression was performed in murine and human tissue by quantitative real-time PCR. Blood pressure was detected by tail cuff method in conscious, trained mice. Results Loss of NOX4 led to severe endothelial dysfunction in mesenteric arteries of Ldlr−/− mice. Blocking of NO synthases with L-NAME led to decreased endothelial relaxation in Ldlr−/− mice at the level of Nox4−/− / Ldlr−/− mice. However, incubation with L-NAME did not worsen the established endothelial dysfunction of the mesenteric arteries from Nox4−/− / Ldlr−/− mice. These results are strikingly different from the aorta, where inhibition of NO synthases led to a similarly impaired endothelial relaxation in both mouse strains. We detected a similar eNOS expression in the aorta of Ldlr−/− and Nox4−/− / Ldlr−/−, but a reduced eNOS expression in the mesenteric arteries of Nox4−/− / Ldlr−/− mice. H2O2 can induce eNOS expression. Therefore, we analysed the vascular function after catalase incubation and again found a significant reduction of endothelial function in the mesenteric arteries of Ldlr−/− mice. Finally, we analysed blood pressure of these mice and did not observe differences in systolic blood pressure, despite significant differences in endothelial function of resistant arteries. Conclusion NOX4 protects against severe endothelial dysfunction in the mesenteric artery in a model of hypercholesterolemia. FUNDunding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: Other.
