Abnormal proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) is a key feature of development of cardiovascular complications, atherosclerosis, and restenosis. Patients with diabetes have higher risk for restenosis after coronary angioplasty than nondiabetic patients due to hyperglycemia-induced release of cytokines such as TNF-alpha. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating VSMC proliferation remain unclear. Herein, we report that inhibition of the polyol pathway enzyme aldose reductase (AR) prevents high glucose (HG)- and/or TNF-alpha-induced VSMC proliferation by accumulating cells at the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Treatment of VSMC with AR inhibitor sorbinil prevented HG- as well as TNF-alpha-induced phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein and activation of E2F-1. Inhibition of AR also prevented HG- and TNF-alpha-induced phosphorylation of cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk)-2 and expression of G1/S transition regulatory proteins such as cyclin D1, cyclin E, cdk-4, c-myc, and proliferative cell nuclear antigen. More importantly, inhibition of AR prevented the increased expression of E2F-1 and proliferative cell nuclear antigen in diabetic rat aorta. Treatment of VSMC with the most abundant and toxic lipid aldehyde 4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal (HNE) or its glutathione conjugate [glutathionyl (GS)-HNE] or AR-catalyzed product of GS-HNE, GS-1,4-dihydroxynonane, resulted in increased E2F-1 expression. Inhibition of AR prevented HNE-or GS-HNE-induced but not GS-1,4-dihydroxynonane-induced up-regulation of E2F-1. Collectively, these results show that AR could regulate HG- and TNF-alpha-induced VSMC proliferation by altering the activation of G1/S-phase proteins such as E2F-1, cdks, and cyclins. Thus, inhibition of AR may be a useful therapeutic approach in preventing vascular complications. (Endocrinology 151: 2140-2150, 2010)
