Endothelial Cells
Oxidative signals play an important role in the regulation
of endothelial cell adhesion molecule expression. Small
GTP-binding protein Rac1 is activated by various
proinflammatory substances and regulates superoxide
generation in endothelial cells (EC). In the present
study, we demonstrate that adenoviral-mediated expression
of dominant negative N17Rac1 (Ad.N17Rac1) suppresses
TNF-
induced vascular cell adhesion molecule-1
(VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and
E-selectin gene expression in a dose dependent manner.
Ad.N17Rac1 did not inhibit TNF-
induced activation
of nuclear NF-
B binding activity or
I
B-
degradation. In contrast, Ad.N17Rac1
inhibited TNF-
induced NF-
B-driven
HIV(
B)4CAT and p288VCAM-Luc promoter activity,
suggesting that N17Rac1 inhibits TNF-
induced
VCAM-1, E-selectin and ICAM-1 through suppressing
NF-
B mediated transactivation. In addition,
expression of superoxide dismutase by adenovirus
suppressed TNF-
induced VCAM-1, E-selectin and
ICAM-1 mRNA accumulation. However, adenoviral mediated
expression of catalase only partially inhibited
TNF-
induced E-selectin gene expression, and had
no effect on VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 gene expression. These
data suggest that Rac1 and superoxide play crucial roles
in the regulation of expression of cell adhesion molecules
in endothelial cells.
