Objective Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-
initiates numerous changes in endothelial cell (EC) gene expression that contributes to the pathology of various diseases including inflammation. We hypothesized that TNF-
mediated gene induction involves multiple signaling pathways, and that inhibition of one or more of these pathways may selectively target subsets of TNF-
responsive genes and functions.
Methods and Results Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (ECs) were preincubated with inhibitors of PI3 kinase (LY294002), histone deacetylases (HDAC) (trichostatin A [TSA]), de novo protein synthesis (CHX), proteasome (MG-132), and GATA factors (K-11430) before exposure to TNF-
at 4 hours and analyzed by microarray. TNF-
mediated induction of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) was attenuated by all of these inhibitors, whereas in contrast, stimulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) was blocked by MG-132 alone. Moreover TSA blocked TNF-
mediated induction of monocyte adhesion both in vitro and in vivo through the suppression of VCAM-1. Further analysis demonstrated that HDAC3 plays a significant role in the regulation of TNF-
mediated VCAM-1 expression.
Conclusions TNF-
activates ECs via multiple signaling pathways, and these pathways may be selectively targeted to modulate EC function. Moreover, TSA treatment reduced monocyte adhesion via VCAM-1 suppression in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that TSA might be useful for the attenuation of the inflammatory response in EC.
A global-survey of TNF-
-signaling in ECs revealed that VCAM-1 expression is highly induced in a process dependent on PI3-K, GATA, HDAC, and new protein synthesis. HDAC inhibition abrogated monocyte adhesion to inflamed endothelium suggesting that HDAC, specifically HDAC3, might be useful for the attenuation of the inflammatory response in ECs.
