Abstract

The purpose of this study was to define the role of metabolic regulatory genes in the pathogenesis of vascular lesions. The glucose transporter isoform, GLUT1, was significantly increased in the neointima after balloon injury. To define the role of GLUT1 in vascular biology, we established cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) with constitutive upregulation of GLUT1, which led to a threefold increase in glucose uptake as well as significant increases in both nonoxidative and oxidative glucose metabolism as assessed by 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. We hypothesized that the differential enhancement of glucose metabolism in the neointima contributed to formation of lesions by increasing the resistance of VSMCs to apoptosis. Indeed, upregulation of GLUT1 significantly inhibited apoptosis induced by serum withdrawal (control 20 +/- 1% vs. GLUT1 11 +/- 1%, P < 0.0005) as well as Fas-ligand (control 12 +/- 1% vs. GLUT1 6 +/- 1.0%, P < 0.0005). Provocatively, the enhanced glucose metabolism in GLUT1 overexpressing VSMC as well as neointimal tissue correlated with the inactivation of the proapoptotic kinase, glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK3beta). Transient overexpression of GSK3beta was sufficient to induce ap...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
