AbstractBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) is up-regulated in regenerated endothelial cells and modulates inflammatory responses in macrophages. Endothelial dysfunction accompanying regeneration is accelerated by hyperlipidaemia. Here, we investigate the contribution of A-FABP to the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction in the aorta of apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE -/-) mice and in cultured human endothelial cells. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH A-FABP was measured in aortae of ApoE -/-mice and human endothelial cells by RT-PCR, immunostaining and immunoblotting. Total and phosphorylated forms of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) were measured by immunoblotting. Changes in isometric tension were measured in rings of mice aortae KEY RESULTS A-FABP was expressed in aortic endothelium of ApoE -/- mice aged 12 weeks and older, but not at 8 weeks or in C57 wild-type mice. Reduced endothelium-dependent relaxations to acetylcholine, UK14304 (selective α 2-adrenoceptor agonist) and A23187 (calcium ionophore) and decreased protein presence of phosphorylated and total eNOS were observed in aortae of 18 week-old ApoE -/- mice compared with age-matched controls. A 6 week treatment with the A-FABP inhibitor, BMS309403, started in 12 week-old mice, improved endothelial function, phosphorylated and total eNOS and reduced plasma triglyceride levels but did not affect endothelium-independent relaxations. The beneficial effect of BMS309403 on UK14304-induced relaxations was attenuated by Pertussis toxin. In cultured human microvascular endothelial cells, lipid-induced A-FABP expression was associated with reduced phosphorylated eNOS and NO production and was reversed by BMS309403. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Elevated expression of A-FABP in endothelial cells contributes to their dysfunction both in vivo and in vitro. © 2011 The Authors.
