Cannabinoid Receptor Type 2 (CB2) Dependent and Independent Effects of WIN55,212-2 on Atherosclerosis in Ldlr-null Mice

Abstract: Purpose WIN55,212-2, a potent synthetic agonist of cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) and cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2), reduces atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E (ApoE) null mice. Although pharmacologic evidence suggests the anti-atherosclerotic effects of WIN55,212-2 are mediated via CB2, this remains to be confirmed by genetic studies. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of WIN55,212-2 on development of atherosclerosis in low-density lipoprotein receptor (Ldlr) null mice with and with… Show more

“…However, a few reports show conflicting data, especially in the Ldlr − / − model. A report shows unaltered lesion size following WIN 55,212-2 treatment in this model, although CB 2 receptor activation did decrease lesional macrophage accumulation [ 192 ]. Another group treated Ldlr − / − mice with JWH-133 and found no significant effect on lesion size or on their content in macrophages, lipids, smooth muscle cells, collagen, and T cells [ 193 ].…”

“…Антиатерогенный эффект JWH015 исчезал после применения селективного CB2-антагониста SR144528, из чего следует, что этот эффект связан с активацией CB2-рецепторов макрофагов. Исследователи из США попытались выяснить, действительно ли антиатерогенный эффект WIN55212-2 связан с активацией CB2рецепторов [47]. Исследования они проводили на мышах LDLR(-/-) с нормальной экспрессией CB2-рецептора генотип CB(+/+) и с делецией гена CB2-рецептора генотип CB2(-/-).…”

“…Однако WIN55212-2 снижал количество макрофагов в бляшках у мышей CB2(+/+), но не влиял на аккумуляцию ма-крофагов в атеромах у животных с генотипом CB2(-/-). В то же время WIN55212-2 снижал количество гладкомышечных клеток в атеромах обеих групп мышей [47]. Следовательно, эффекты WIN55212-2 могут зависеть от активации CB2-рецепторов и реализовываться независимо от указанных рецепторов.…”
