AI Article Synopsis

  • A novel compound called nTZDpa was found to inhibit the expression of important proteins (MCM6 and MCM7) involved in DNA replication in vascular smooth muscle cells.
  • The inhibition of MCM protein expression by nTZDpa and another compound, rosiglitazone, is linked to their effects on cell proliferation and a protein called the retinoblastoma protein.
  • The study suggests that the inhibitory effects of nTZDpa on MCM6 and MCM7 occur through a transcriptional mechanism regulated by a transcription factor called E2F and the nuclear receptor PPARgamma.

Article Abstract

Using a cDNA array consisting only of cell cycle genes, we found that a novel nonthiazolidinedione partial peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) agonist (nTZDpa) inhibited expression of minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins 6 and 7 in vascular smooth muscle cells. MCM proteins are required for the initiation and elongation stages of DNA replication and are regulated by the transcription factor E2F. Mitogen-induced MCM6 and MCM7 mRNA expression was potently inhibited by nTZDpa and to a lesser degree by the full PPARgamma agonist, rosiglitazone. Inhibition of MCM6 and MCM7 expression by nTZDpa and rosiglitazone paralleled their effect to inhibit phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein and cell proliferation. Transient transfection experiments revealed that the nTZDpa inhibited mitogen-induced MCM6 and MCM7 promoter activity, implicating a transcriptional mechanism. Adenoviral-mediated E2F overexpression reversed the suppressive effect of nTZDpa on MCM6 and MCM7 expression. Furthermore, activity of a luciferase reporter plasmid driven by multiple E2F elements was inhibited by nTZDpa, indicating that their down-regulation by nTZDpa involves an E2F-dependent mechanism. Overexpression of dominant-negative PPARgamma or addition of a PPARgamma antagonist, GW 9662, blocked nTZDpa inhibition of MCM7 transcription. Adenovirus-mediated overexpression of constitutively active PPARgamma inhibited MCM7 expression in a similar manner as the nTZDpa. These findings provide strong evidence that activation of PPARgamma attenuates MCM7 transcription and support the important role of this nuclear receptor in regulating vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation.
