PG - H1154-63 LID - 10.1152/ajpheart.00885.2013 [doi] AB - Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that causes endothelial dysfunction. Endocytosis of TNF-alpha receptors (TNFR) precedes endosomal reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which is required for NF-kappaB activation in vascular smooth muscle cells. It is unknown how endocytosis of TNFRs impacts signaling in endothelial cells. We hypothesized that TNF-alpha-induced endothelial dysfunction is induced by both endosomal and cell surface events, including NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) activation, and endocytosis of the TNFR modifies signaling. Mesenteric artery segments from C57BL/6 mice were treated with TNF-alpha (10 ng/ml) for 22 h in tissue culture, with or without signaling inhibitors (dynasore for endocytosis, SP600125 for JNK, SB203580 for p38, U0126 for ERK), and vascular function was assessed. Endothelium-dependent relaxation to acetylcholine (ACh) was impaired by TNF-alpha, and dynasore exacerbated this, whereas JNK or p38 inhibition prevented these effects. In cultured endothelial cells from murine mesenteric arteries, dynasore potentiated JNK and p38 but not ERK phosphorylation and promoted cell death. NF-kappaB activation by TNF-alpha was decreased by dynasore. JNK inhibition dramatically increased both the magnitude and duration of TNF-alpha-induced NF-kappaB activation and potentiated intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) activation. Dynasore still inhibited NF-kappaB activation in the presence of SP600125. Thus TNF-alpha-induced endothelial dysfunction is both JNK and p38 dependent. Endocytosis modulates the balance of NF-kappaB and MAPK signaling, and inhibition of NF-kappaB activation by JNK limits this pro-proliferative signal, which may contribute to endothelial cell death in response to TNF-alpha.
