Piperlongumine Attenuates High Calcium/Phosphate-Induced Arterial Calcification by Preserving P53/PTEN Signaling

Abstract: Vascular calcification frequently occurs in the process of chronic kidney disease, atherosclerosis and aging, resulting in an increased prevalence of cardiovascular events. Piperlongumine (PLG) is a natural product isolated from Piper longum L. Here, we aimed to explore the effect of PLG in high calcium- and phosphate-induced vascular calcification and the associated mechanism. Flow cytometry assays showed that PLG at concentrations <10 μM did not promote vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) apoptosis, … Show more

“…In contrast to our data, recent studies have reported reduced expression of p53 during VSMC calcification following treatment of cells with the putative cancer therapeutics, piperlongumine [ 50 ] and teniposide [ 51 ]. These divergent observations may reflect key differences in the species, passage status and culture conditions of the cells investigated.…”

“…These divergent observations may reflect key differences in the species, passage status and culture conditions of the cells investigated. Furthermore, these findings likely reflect the activation of different signalling mechanisms, with piperlongumine modulating PTEN transcription [ 50 ] and teniposide regulating the miR-203-3p-BMP2 pathway [ 51 ]. Indeed, our data support novel findings challenging the commonly accepted paradigm of p53 having primarily pro-apoptotic functions in VSMCs [ 52 ].…”

“…After 24 to 48 hours, the growing medium was replaced with the CaP medium including DMEM medium, 5% FBS, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, 1.5 mM calcium, and 2.0 mM phosphate for a further 2 to 3 days incubation to induce the calcification of VSMCs. 34 In the other calcification model, the osteogenic calcification medium (OGM) consisted of high glucose DMEM medium, 10% FBS, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, 0.1 μmol/L dexamethasone, 50 μg/mL ascorbic acid, 5 mmol/L β‐glycerophosphate, 4 mmol/L CaCl 2 , and 1 μmol/L insulin. The medium was changed every 3 days for 14 to 17 days to induce calcium deposition in the RVSMCs.…”

“…Mice (n=10) were intraperitoneally injected with vitamin D 3 (400 000 IU/kg per day; Sigma) dissolved in olive oil for 14 consecutive days, and the same volume olive oil injection was used as a control. 34 The body weight of mice was recorded every 3 days during the experiment period. At day 28, mice aortas were removed and kept in 4% paraformaldehydesolution for further analysis.…”

“…Increased expression of p7056K will then induce the activation of bone morphogenetic protein 2/transforming growth factor β/Smad1/5/8 (BMP2/TGF-β/Smad1/5/8) signaling pathway manifested in increased expression of Runx2, osteocalcin (OCN), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and osterix (Osx) thus generating pre-osteoblast differentiation into osteoblasts.
