PG - 195-205 LID - 10.1007/s10735-023-10122-z [doi] AB - Vascular endothelial cells (VECs) injury is closely related to the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis. Canopy FGF signaling regulator 2 (CNPY2), a novel unfolded protein response promoter, has been reported to activate the PERK-CHOP pathway. This study aimed to explore whether CNPY2 is associated with atherosclerosis mediated by VEC injury. By establishing ApoE(-/-) mouse atherosclerosis model and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) cell model, we found that CNPY2 was abnormally highly expressed in ApoE(-/-) mice and ox-LDL-induced mouse aortic endothelial cells (MAECs). Exogenous CNPY2 can significantly aggravate the activation, inflammation, and apoptosis of MAECs induced by ox-LDL and promote the activation of PERK/eIF2alpha/CHOP signal. The PERK inhibitor GSK2606414 can inhibit CNPY2-induced MAECs injury and PERK signal activation. In addition, in vivo animal experiments furtherly confirmed that CNPY2 could aggravate the process of atherosclerosis in ApoE(-/-) mice by activating PERK signaling. In conclusion, this study indicated that high level of CNPY2 induces VECs injury by activating PERK signaling and thus participating in the progress of atherosclerosis. CI - (c) 2023.
