AbstractThe detailed molecular mechanisms underlying pathogenesis of various vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis are not fully understood in type-2 diabetes. The present study was designed to investigate whether insulin regulates K Ca3.1 channels and participates in vasculopathy in type-2 diabetes. A rat model with experimental insulin-resistant type-2 diabetes was used for detecting pathological changes in the aorta wall, and cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were employed to investigate the regulation of K Ca3.1 channels by insulin and roles of K Ca3.1 channels in cell migration and proliferation using molecular biology and electrophysiology. Early pathological changes were observed and expression of K Ca3.1 channels increased in the aorta wall of the type 2 diabetic rats. K Ca3.1 channel mRNA, protein levels and current density were greatly enhanced in cultured VSMCs treated with insulin, and the effects were countered in the cells treated with the ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059, but not the p38-MAPK inhibitor SB203580. In addition, insulin stimulated cell migration and proliferation in cultured VSMCs, and the effects were fully reversed in the cells treated with the K Ca3.1 blocker TRAM-34 or PD98059, but not SB203580. These results demonstrate the novel information that insulin increases expression of K Ca3.1 channels by stimulating ERK1/2 phosphorylation thereby promoting migration and proliferation of VSMCs, which likely play at least a partial role in the development of vasculopathy in type-2 diabetes. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
