It is widely accepted that obesity is a major risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. In this context, adipose tissue produces a variety of adipokines and releases free fatty acids, contributing to a chronic-low grade inflammation state implicated in vascular complications. In this study, we investigated the role of adipokines, oleic acid (OA), palmitic acid (PA), and the combinations on activation of NF-kappa B target genes in human vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) to assess the hypothesis of synergistic interactions between these molecules. Adipocyte-conditioned medium (CM), generated from human adipocytes, in combination with low concentrations of OA, but not PA, induces SMC proliferation and activation of the transcription factor NF-kappa B in a synergistic way. Combined treatment of CM and OA further regulates a set of downstream NF-kappa B target genes including angiopoietin-1, activin A, and MMP-1, all critically involved in SMC dysfunction. This suggests that the lipotoxic potential of fatty acids is substantially enhanced by the presence of adipocyte-derived factors. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
