RNA interference was applied to suppress HSP22 in the cells. Cellular apoptosis and intracellular level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected by flow cytometer, and proteins of HSP22, NF-κB, eNOS, and ICAM-1 were assessed by immunoblotting. HSP22-/-//ApoE,-/- and HSP22+/+//ApoE-/- mice were used to investigate the effect of GGA in the animal model of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerotic lesion of the mice aortas was evaluated by Oil Red O staining and H&E staining.Results: GGA significantly inhibited HCAEC apoptosis in response to oxidized-LDL (ox-LDL), but stimulated HSP22 synthesis in the cells. Transfection of HSP22-siRNA in the cells resulted in complete blockage of the GGA effect on apoptosis. GGA also significantly inhibited ROS, NF-κB, and ICAM-1 in the cells transfected control siRNA, but not in the cells transfected with HSP22-siRNA. Atherosclerotic plaque in the aorta was significantly less in the wild type (WT) animals treated with GGA as stained either by Oil Red O or by H&E staining, but not in the HSP22-KO mice. GGA significantly inhibited expression of NF-κB and ICAM-1 in the WT mice, but not in the HSP22-KO mice.Conclusion: GGA-induced HSP22, and inhibited ox-LDL-induced apoptosis as well as expression of NF-κB and ICAM-1 in the HCAECs. GGA also attenuated formation of atherosclerotic plaques in mice aorta. Suppression of HSP22 by siRNA resulted in blockage of the GGA inhibition on apoptosis or stimulation on NF-κB and ICAM-1. These findings suggested that GGA protects endothelial cells from injury in response to ox-LDL and block atherosclerotic development in mice aorta through induction of HSP22.Keywords: geranylgeranylacetone (GGA), heat shock protein 22 (HSP22), endothelial cells, inflammatory response, atherosclerosishttps://www.dovepress.com/role-of-heat-shock-protein-22-in-the-protective-effect-of-geranylgeran-peer-reviewed-article-DDDTGeranylgeranylacetone (GGA)Heat shock protein 22 (HSP22)Endothelial cellsInflammatory responseAtherosclerosis |
