Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is mostly produced by cystathionine-gamma-lyase (CSE) in vascular system and it inhibits the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), via its receptor (IGF-1R), exerts multiple physiological and pathophysiological effects on the vasculature, including stimulating SMC proliferation and migration, and inhibiting SMC apoptosis. Since H2S and IGF-1/IGF-1R have opposite effects on SMC proliferation, it becomes imperative to better understand the interaction of these two signaling mechanisms on SMC proliferation. SMCs isolated from small mesenteric arteries of CSE knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice were used in the present study. The effects of IGF-1 and H2S on SMC proliferation were evaluated with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) assays. Protein expression was determined by western blot, and H2S-induced protein S-sulfhydration was assessed with a modified biotin switch assay. We found that IGF-1 dose-dependently increased the proliferation of both WT-SMCs and KO-SMCs, and this effect was more significant in KO-SMCs. Supplement of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) inhibited IGF-1-induced cell proliferation, while this effect was abolished by blocking IGF-1/IGF-1R signaling with picropodophyllin (PPP) or knocking out of the expression of IGF-1R. H2S significantly down-regulates the expression of 1GF-1R, stimulates IGF-1R S-sulfhydration, and attenuates the binding of IGF-1 with IGF-1R. This study provides novel insight on the involvement of IGF-1/IGF-1R in H2S-inhibited SMC proliferation and suggests H2S-based innovative treatment strategies for proliferative cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis.
