Circ Res:北京大学孔炜教授团队发现非剪切型XBP-1抑制主动脉瘤发病新机制

近日,国际心血管领域杂志《Circulation Research》在线发表了北京大学基础医学院生理与病理生理系孔炜教授课题组题为“Unspliced XBP1 Confers VSMCs Homeostasis and Prevents Aortic Aneurysm Formation via FoxO4 Interaction”的研究成果,揭示了非剪切型XBP-1通过调控平滑肌细胞表型转化抑制主动脉瘤的作用机制。孔炜教授团队博士研究生赵桂珍为论文第一作者,孔炜教授为论文通讯作者。

主动脉瘤是一种异常凶险的心血管疾病,目前尚无有效的治疗药物,其发病机制不明。XBP1(X-box binding protein 1)是经典的内质网应激信号分子,存在剪接(spliced XBP1,XBP1s)和非剪接(unspliced XBP1,XBP1u)两种形式。孔炜教授课题组发现:XBP1u通过内质网应激非依赖的途径,抑制胸/腹主动脉瘤的发生。其具体机制是:XBP1u结合转录因子FoxO4,抑制FoxO4核转位,解除了FoxO4对平滑肌收缩元件的关键转录因子myocardin的转录抑制作用,从而维持血管平滑肌细胞的收缩稳态;如果阻断XBP1u-FoxO4的结合会促进血管平滑肌细胞由正常收缩表型向炎症和蛋白水解表型转化,并进而促进基质降解及主动脉瘤的发生。该研究揭示了血管平滑肌细胞的表型转化和主动脉瘤发生的连接分子,为寻找防治主动脉瘤的靶点提供了新的思路。
