It has been previously demonstrated that piceatannol-3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (PG) inhibits arginase activity and reciprocally regulates NO production. Here, we aimed to ascertain whether PG ameliorates vascular function in wild-type (WT) and atherogenic model mice [apolipoprotein E-null mice (ApoE-/-)] and to investigate the possible underlying mechanism. Preincubation of aortic vessels from WT mice fed a normal diet (ND) with PG attenuated vasoconstriction response to U46619 and phenylephrine (PE), while the vasorelaxant response to acetylcholine (Ach) was markedly enhanced in an endothelium-dependent manner. However, the endothelium-independent NO donor, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), did not change vessel reactivity. In thoracic aorta from ApoE-/-mice, a high-cholesterol diet (HCD) induced an increase in arginase activity, a decrease in NO release and an increase in reactive oxygen species generation that was reversed by treatment with PG. The effect of PG was associated with enhanced stability of the eNOS dimer and was not dependent on the expression levels of arginase II and eNOS proteins, although eNOS expression was increased in ApoE-/-mice fed an HCD. Furthermore, PG treatment attenuated the PE-dependent contractile response, and significantly improved the Ach-dependent vasorelaxation response in aortic rings from ApoE-/-mice fed an HCD. On the other hand, PG incubation neither altered the contractile response to a high K+ solution nor the relaxation response to SNP. When analyzing the L-arginine content using high-performance liquid chromatography, PG incubation increased the intracellular L-arginine concentration. PG administration in the drinking water significantly reduced fatty streak formation in ApoE-/-mice fed an HCD. These data indicate that PG improves the pathophysiology of cholesterol-mediated endothelial dysfunction. Therefore, we conclude that the development of PG as a novel effective therapy for preventing atherosclerotic diseases is warranted."xsd:string |
