description | INTRODUCTION: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are highly involved in airway vascular remodeling in asthma. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying the effects of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase-33 (ADAM33) gene on the migration capacity and inflammatory cytokine secretion of VSMCs. METHODS: Human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) were transfected with lentiviral vectors carrying short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting ADAM33 or negative control vectors. The migration capacity of HASMCs was evaluated by a transwell assay. The levels of secreted inflammatory cytokines were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot assays were performed to detect mRNA and protein expression levels. RESULTS: Silencing of ADAM33 significantly inhibited the migration of HASMCs. The expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in the supernatant of HASMCs was decreased, while that of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) was increased after the transfection of shRNA targeting ADAM33. Insufficient ADAM33 expression also suppressed the expression levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phospho-protein kinase B (AKT), phospho-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), Rho-associated protein kinases, phospho-forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1), and cyclin D1, but it did not affect the levels of AKT, mTOR, or Rho. CONCLUSION: Silencing of the ADAM33 gene inhibited HASMC migration and regulated inflammatory cytokine secretion via targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and its downstream signaling. These data contribute to a better understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of airway vascular remodeling in asthma. |
