9 [; S8 C" B; y2 R      Altered calcium [Ca 2  ] transients of vascular smooth muscle cells to vasoconstrictors may contribute to altered regulation of blood flow in diabetes. We postulated that diabetes-induced transforming growth factor (TGF)- production contributes to impaired ANG II response of vascular smooth muscle cells in macrovessels and microvessels. Aortic vascular smooth muscle cells isolated from diabetic rats exhibited markedly impaired ANG II-induced cytosolic calcium [Ca 2  ] signal that was completely restored by pretreatment with anti-TGF- antibodies. Similar findings were noted in microvascular smooth muscle cells isolated from preglomerular vessels and cultured in high glucose. The impact of diabetes on [Ca 2  ] transients was replicated by addition of TGF- 1 and - 2 isoforms to aortic smooth muscle cells in culture and diabetic cells had enhanced production of TGF- 2. In the in vivo condition, TGF- 1 was increased in diabetic glomeruli, whereas TGF- 2 was increased in diabetic aorta. The characteristic increase in glomerular filtration surface area found in diabetic rats was prevented by treatment with anti-TGF- antibodies, and impaired ANG II-induced aortic ring contraction in diabetic rats was completely restored by anti-TGF- antibodies. Impaired vascular dysfunction may be partly due to decreased inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP 3 R), as reduced type I IP 3 R expression was found in diabetic aorta and restored by anti-TGF- antibodies. We conclude that TGF- plays an important role in the vascular dysfunction of early diabetes by inhibiting calcium transients in vascular smooth muscle cells.& n* Q+ K7 Q/ R5 m  h9 f6 p

' _/ u4 i" _5 b                  VASCULAR DYSFUNCTION IS considered to be the cardinal basis for the macrovascular and microvascular complications of diabetes ( 17, 48 ). Macrovascular complications refer to the enhanced atherosclerosis of large vessels in diabetes and lead to coronary artery disease and lower limb ischemia. Microvascular complications of diabetes primarily result in retinal, renal, and peripheral nerve involvement. Although these are late complications of diabetes, there are major disturbances of vascular function in patients with early type 1 diabetes ( 2, 30 ) that may contribute to the pathogenesis of the late complications.

  l0 ^  A- g  _5 r7 MDuring the first 1-3 wk of early diabetes in the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced rat, the majority of studies using invasive measurements have found that the systolic blood pressure is either normal or decreased (reviewed in Refs. 21 and 61 ). Recently, blood pressure was monitored by telemetry and found to either decline ( 59 ) or remain stable ( 60 ) between week 1 and week 4 of diabetes. The blood pressure surprisingly does not increase despite a tendency for salt retention after the onset of hyperglycemia ( 63, 64 ). Numerous studies have found that infusion of vasopressors, such as ANG II and vasopressin, to the diabetic rat exhibits reduced pressor responsiveness ( 5, 21, 22, 28 ). In early diabetes, several studies have found normal or impaired isolated aortic ring contraction in response to a variety of vasoconstrictors ( 13, 39, 50 ), although there has been a recent report of increased contractility to vasoconstrictors in early and late stages of diabetes ( 38 ). Overall, there appears to be a generalized impaired response of macrovessels to the pressor effect of vasoconstrictors during the early stage of experimental diabetes. In vitro studies using aortic vascular smooth muscle cells cultured in high glucose suggest that impaired vasoconstrictor-induced calcium response may contribute to this effect ( 67, 68 )..

/ o" h6 D7 j7 qWith regard to the kidney, there is clear evidence that blood flow to the glomerulus of the kidney is increased in early diabetes ( 25, 26 ). The increased glomerular blood flow appears to be primarily due to an inappropriate dilation of the afferent arteriole ( 25, 26, 46 ). The enhanced glomerular blood flow has been considered to be an important pathophysiological event contributing to glomerular hypertrophy in early diabetes and shear-induced damage to vessels and glomerulosclerosis in late diabetes. An impairment in afferent arteriolar constriction in early diabetes was demonstrated by Carmines et al. ( 7 ) and found to be related to a decreased intracellular calcium rise.

$ ?1 H+ J. t; J# mIn prior studies, we identified the prosclerotic cytokine transforming growth factor (TGF)- as a critical player in mediating the increase in diabetic mesangial matrix expansion ( 54, 74, 75 ), which is the hallmark of progressive diabetic nephropathy ( 58 ). Apart from enhancing matrix formation, TGF- may play a role in vascular responsiveness by interfering with the calcium-mobilizing potential of cells involved in vasoconstriction ( 4, 55, 73 ). TGF- was found to inhibit calcium transients to agonists that increase inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP 3 ) production in both vascular smooth muscle cells ( 73 ) and in mesangial cells ( 4 ). This effect of TGF- is likely due to downregulation of IP 3 receptors as TGF- decreases the expression of IP 3 R1 ( 56 ) and inhibits IP 3 sensitivity in permeabilized mesangial cells ( 55 ). As an increase in intracellular calcium is a critical initial step stimulating the vascular smooth muscle cell to contract, we postulated that local production of TGF- may contribute to the impaired contractile response of macrovascular and microvascular smooth muscle cells in diabetes.

Controls were injected with buffer alone. The levels of blood glucose were determined 2 days after injection, and rats with 300 mg/dl were used as diabetic rats. The diabetic rats were treated with 1-2 U of Humulin (70/30 preparation) subcutaneously each day to maintain glycemic levels between 300 and 500 mg/dl and avoid ketosis and muscle wasting. After 14 days of diabetes, aortic smooth muscle cells (aSMC) were isolated as described below. To study the in vivo role of TGF-, a separate group of diabetic rats received neutralizing anti-TGF- antibody (anti-T) before cell isolation, aortic ring studies, and glomerular morphometry. Anti-T was administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 15 mg/kg on alternate days, as previously described ( 27 ), over a 14-day period. Isotype-specific control IgG was administered to diabetic rats in the same manner. Diabetic and nondiabetic rats were given standard rodent diet and water ad libitum. Animals were housed separately and maintained in a temperature- and light-controlled environment. All protocols in this study were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.

Smooth muscle cell isolation. Aortic tissue was obtained from three normal rats and three diabetic rats. The tissues were pooled and labeled as normal and diabetic aSMC. Tissue was washed twice, and aSMC were isolated using established methods ( 16, 35 ). Cells were plated on 35-mm culture dishes with 10 ml RPMI containing either 5.5 mM D -glucose or 25 mM D -glucose with 10% FCS. Cells were assessed for smooth muscle-specific -actin and myosin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) by FACS analysis to establish smooth muscle cell origin. Experiments were performed on aSMC between passages 3 and 7. In an additional set of studies, aSMC were freshly isolated from diabetic rats treated with nonspecific IgG or anti-T and plated immediately on coverslips containing RPMI with 25 mM D -glucose/10% FCS and either IgG or anti-T, respectively.

For establishing mSMC in culture, three normal Sprague-Dawley male rats (4 wk of age) were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (60 mg/kg ip), and the abdominal aorta was cannulated below the renal arteries. The kidneys were perfused with ice-cold PBS, followed by 5 ml of a magnetized iron oxide suspension (1% Fe 3 O 4 in PBS), excised, and placed in fresh cold PBS. The cortical tissue was gently minced with a razor blade, and the crude homogenate was then resuspended in PBS, passed through needles of decreasing size (22- and 23-gauge), and filtered through a 120-µm sieve. The microvessels were recovered from the retentate and purified by magnetic separation. The final preparation was digested with collagenase (8 mg/10 ml, type 1A; Worthington Biochemical, Lakewood, NJ) for 30 min with constant shaking at 37°C to disperse the cells and iron oxide. Cells of the digested microvessels were collected by brief centrifugation, washed once with PBS, and plated in either normal glucose (5.5 mM, RPMI, 10% FCS) or high glucose (25 mM D -glucose RPMI, 10% FCS). Cells were studied between passages 3 and 7. Cells were characterized as smooth muscle in origin by FACS analysis with antibodies against smooth muscle -actin and myosin.

For calcium imaging, the normal and diabetic aSMC were plated onto lysine-coated coverslips with RPMI/10% FCS with 5.5 or 25 mM D -glucose, as appropriate. In experiments where antibodies were used, cells were exposed to either control isotype-specific IgG or anti-T. After 3 days in culture on coverslips, the medium was replaced with an extracellular medium (2% BSA/ECM) consisting of 121 mM NaCl, 5 mM NaHCO 3, 10 mM Na-HEPES, 4.7 mM KCl, 1.2 mM KH 2 PO 4, 1.2 mM MgSO 4, 2 mM CaCl 2, 10 mM glucose, and 2% BSA, pH 7.4. A similar protocol was employed with primary passage aSMC from normal and diabetic rats treated with control IgG and anti-T and with mSMC cultured in normal (5.5 mM) or high glucose (25 mM). To monitor cytosolic [Ca 2  ] (Ca 2  c ), cells were loaded with 5 µM fura-2 AM for 30 min in the presence of 100 µM sulfinpyrazone and 0.3% pluronic acid at room temperature. Sulfinpyrazone was also present during the imaging measurements to minimize dye loss. Dye-loaded cells were washed two to three times with 2% BSA/ECM. Imaging measurements were performed in ECM containing 0.25% BSA (0.25% BSA/ECM) at 35°C. Fluorescence images were acquired using an Olympus IX70 inverted microscope fitted with a x 40 (UApo, NA 1.35) oil immersion objective and a cooled CCD camera (PXL, Photometrics) under computer control. The computer also controlled a scanning monochromator (DeltaRam, PTI) to select the excitation wavelength ( 11 ). Time courses of [Ca 2  ] c in individual cells were calculated from fluorescence image pairs obtained using 340- and 380-nm excitation (10-nm bandwidth) with a broadband emission filter passing 460-600 nm. The lag time was calculated as the time in seconds to attain half-maximal [Ca 2  ] c peak following agonist stimulation. Experiments were carried out with three different cell cultures, at least three parallel experiments on each occasion and 50-100 cells were monitored in each experiment.6 h( u& c) w8 c7 F3 c: X

Aortic ring preparation and isometric contraction measurement. For the in vivo studies, after 2 wk of diabetes normal and diabetic rats were killed by cervical dislocation. After excision, rat thoracic aortas cut into rings were used for contraction measurements. Aortic rings of 3-mm width were mounted in a 10 ml organ bath containing Krebs buffer. Buffer was maintained at 37°C and continuously gassed with 95% O 2 -5% CO 2. Rings were equilibrated for 30 min using a resting tension of 1 g, during which the buffer was changed every 10 min. Dose-response curves to ANG II (Sigma) were constructed by cumulative addition of small volumes of stock solution. Rings were maximally contracted with the thromboxane A2 analog U-46619 (1 µM) (Sigma).

Impaired calcium response to ANG II in aortic vascular smooth muscle cells from diabetic rats. To determine whether vascular smooth muscle cells exhibited impaired response to vasoconstrictors, aortic vascular smooth muscle cells were isolated from normal and diabetic rats of 2-wk duration of diabetes. The aSMC from the normal rats were cultured in normal-glucose conditions (5.5 mM D -glucose, RPMI) and the diabetic aSMC were cultured in high glucose (25 mM D -glucose, RPMI) for passages 3 - 7 before being studied. Cells were loaded with fura-2-AM and exposed to a low and high dose of ANG II. aSMC from normal rats had a rapid and marked increase in [Ca 2  ] c in response to low-dose (2 nM) and high-dose ANG II (100 nM; Fig. 1 ). In contrast, the [Ca 2  ] c response of diabetic aSMC to a low dose of ANG II was markedly altered. The diabetic aSMC had a prolonged delay before attaining peak increase in [Ca 2  ] c and the amplitude of the [Ca 2  ] c response was substantially diminished to the low dose of ANG II. At higher doses of ANG II, the duration until peak [Ca 2  ] c remained delayed and the amplitude of response was reduced in the diabetic aSMC, although the majority of cells had some response.

Complete reversal of diabetic-induced impaired calcium response in aSMC by anti-TGF- antibodies. As TGF- may mediate a variety of effects of cells cultured in high glucose or derived from the diabetic milieu, anti-T was added to the aSMC in culture before measuring [Ca 2  ] c in response to ANG II ( Fig. 2 A ). The effect of diabetes on low- and high-dose ANG II-induced maximal stimulation of [Ca 2  ] c was completely prevented by anti-T. The lag phase before reaching half-maximal [Ca 2  ] c to ANG II (2 nM) in the diabetic aSMC was increased by sixfold; however, in the presence of anti-T, the lag phase was restored to control levels ( Fig. 2 B ). The antibody had virtually no effect on normal aSMC ( Fig. 2 B ), suggesting that only in the diabetic condition is the TGF- system involved in ANG II-induced [Ca 2  ] c stimulation. Control IgG had no effect on either normal or diabetic aSMC ANG II-induced [Ca 2  ] c stimulation (data not shown).4 v& k' ?4 U; j  L9 u  \6 r

* _$ V9 l: o* j" j% t0 ATGF- 1 or TGF- 2 reproduces the effect of diabetes on aSMC response to ANG II. As the anti-TGF- antibody used is a pan-neutralizing antibody, it is conceivable that TGF- 1, TGF- 2, or TGF- 3 may mediate the effect of diabetes. We first determined whether either TGF- 1 or - 2 could replicate the effect of diabetes by adding TGF- 1 or - 2 to normal aSMC for 24 h and then determining ANG II-induced [Ca 2  ] c release ( Fig. 4 ). Compared with normal aSMC that received vehicle, both TGF- 1 and - 2 blocked ANG II-induced [Ca 2  ] c mobilization. The effect of TGF- was more marked than the diabetic effect, as virtually 100% of cells pretreated with either TGF- isoform failed to elicit a rise in [Ca 2  ] c with the low dose of ANG II. At the high dose of ANG II, there was a marked delay in [Ca 2  ] c rise. A high dose of ATP elicited a marked increase in [Ca 2  ] c in TGF- -pretreated cells, suggesting that [Ca 2  ] c stores were not depleted (data not shown). The addition of TGF- 1 and - 2 had a similar effect in normal as well as diabetic aSMC, although the effect of TGF- 2 appeared to be more pronounced compared with TGF- 1 ( Fig. 4 ).5 i3 Q( `7 L( U!

In vivo neutralization of TGF- in diabetic rats prevents diabetic glomerular hypertrophy. To examine for in vivo relevance to the findings in isolated smooth muscle cells, the effect of anti-T on diabetic glomerular hypertrophy and aortic vascular function was assessed. Rats were made diabetic and treated with anti-T. Diabetic rats treated with anti-T had the same glycemic levels as untreated diabetic rats ( Table 1 ). The diabetic rats did not gain as much weight as the control rats but were not catabolic as they gained weight from prediabetic levels. Kidney hypertrophy, as defined by kidney weight-to-body weight ratios, was noted in both diabetic groups and not affected by anti-T. There was no effect of control antibodies in diabetic rats with respect to body weight and degree of hyperglycemia.

Assessment of the relative contribution of the open capillary luminal compartment and the cellular compartment revealed that the increase in glomerular volume in the diabetic group is almost exclusively due to an increase in the capillary luminal compartment ( Fig. 6 and Table 2 ). Although there is an increase in PAS-positive material in the diabetic glomeruli, the relative contribution of PAS-positive material to overall glomerular volume increase is minimal at this stage of disease ( Table 2 ). There was also no contribution of cell hypertrophy to overall diabetic glomerular hypertrophy. The effect of anti-T treatment to reduce glomerular volume was primarily due to reduction of the open capillary luminal compartment.

Impaired ANG II-induced aortic ring contraction in diabetic rats is restored by anti-T treatment. Cumulative dose-response curves to ANG II were constructed ( Fig. 7 ) to investigate the effect of short-term diabetes on aortic ring responsiveness to ANG II. Dose-response curves to ANG II were significantly decreased in diabetic animals. Aortic rings from diabetic rats exhibited a 50% reduction of E max, without shift in EC 50 of ANG II. Anti-T treatment of diabetic animals restored the ANG II-induced aortic contractions to control levels.

With the use of real-time quantitative PCR, there was no increase in TGF- 1 mRNA levels in the diabetic aorta; however, there was a 62% increase of TGF- 2 in the diabetic aorta compared with normal aortic tissue ( Fig. 8 A ). By immunostaining, TGF- 2 was present primarily in the smooth muscle layers of diabetic aorta and appeared more intense in the luminal and adventititial regions compared with normal aortic tissue ( Fig. 8 B ).

Regulation of aortic IP 3 RI and AT 1 R by diabetes and TGF-. We previously found that diabetic glomeruli had reduced type I IP 3 R levels ( 57 ) and that TGF- reduces IP 3 RI levels in glomerular cells ( 55, 56 ). In addition, several studies found that high glucose and TGF- reduce AT 1 receptors ( 47, 68 ). As a possible explanation for the impaired contractile response in aortic rings of diabetic rats, IP 3 R1 and AT 1 R levels were assessed in aortic tissue. By quantitative real-time PCR, there was a reduction of type I IP 3 R in the diabetic aorta compared with control aorta ( Fig. 8 C ). The reduction in the diabetic aorta was prevented by anti-T ( Fig. 8 C ).

The role of TGF- in vascular smooth muscle cells has primarily been considered to alter its growth characteristics ( 1, 15 ), enhance matrix accumulation ( 8, 32 ), and may enhance transdifferentiation ( 19 ). Our present study introduces a novel aspect of TGF- by demonstrating that TGF- contributes to macrovascular and microvascular smooth muscle cell dysfunction in the diabetic milieu. An important implication is that in diabetes, localized increases of TGF- in the vascular compartment regulate smooth muscle cell response by interfering with normal intracellular calcium regulation. This would result in altered vascular cell function and dysregulated blood flow.. t! r6 m. G: X8 I

  L! I: t3 `' QA vascular role for TGF- is supported by recent studies that demonstrate profound vascular changes in the kidney of mice and rats exposed to high levels of exogenous TGF- 2 ( 34, 37 ). A recent clinical study found that administration of TGF- 2 to patients with multiple sclerosis led to acute renal failure in some patients as quickly as 1 wk after administration ( 6 ). The rapid onset of renal failure would suggest a hemodynamic or acute toxic effect of TGF- on vascular smooth muscle cells or renal cells. The effect of TGF- to cause renovascular dysfunction may be especially prominent in the setting of preexisting alteration of renal function or vascular hemodynamics. In the setting of diabetes, the effect of local production of TGF- on macrovascular smooth muscle cells could contribute to impaired contractile function and the depressed systemic blood pressure that has been found in early experimental diabetes ( 51, 59 ). In the clinical state, there have been reports of increased basal forearm blood flow ( 10, 18 ) and impaired vasoconstrictor response in type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients to a variety of stimuli ( 2, 30, 45 ). Increased basal blood flow, likely due to altered vascular smooth muscle cell function, would lead to shear stress on endothelial cells with consequent endothelial cell dysfunction ( 62 ). The initial inappropriate increase in basal blood flow may be contributed by local TGF- production.5 n, I" d3 J6 E; e7 U$ m

% w3 A8 W3 U7 q+ ~4 _2 VOur study is the first to demonstrate the effects of high glucose on ANG II-induced [Ca 2  ] c rise in preglomerular vascular smooth muscle cells. As this is the critical cell type regulating afferent arteriolar tone, it is likely that the impaired ANG II-induced [Ca 2  ] c rise contributes to the characteristic increased glomerular blood flow of early diabetes ( 26 ). As increased glomerular blood flow may be due to decreased responsiveness to vasoconstrictors ( 38 ) and is closely associated with glomerular hypertrophy ( 24, 26 ), our finding that anti-TGF- antibodies attenuate diabetic glomerular hypertrophy may be explained by a restoration of vascular smooth muscle cell responsiveness. Early diabetic glomerular hypertrophy in humans and in experimental diabetes is primarily characterized by increased capillary loop surface area rather than increased mesangial matrix accumulation ( 23, 38, 49 ). Therefore, it is unlikely that the explanation for the anti-TGF- effect to reduce early diabetic glomerular hypertrophy can be explained by inhibiting mesangial matrix accumulation. Mesangial cell hypertrophy is stimulated by TGF- in cell culture ( 9 ) and related to alteration of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p21 and p27 ( 42, 69 ). Although mesangial cell hypertrophy has been linked to progressive mesangial matrix expansion in later stages of diabetes ( 3 ), it is presently unclear what the role of mesangial cell hypertrophy is in early diabetic glomerular hypertrophy. Therefore, based on our results, the role of TGF- in early diabetic glomerular hypertrophy appears to be largely mediated via an effect on vascular smooth muscle cell function, whereas the role of TGF- in the later feature of diabetic glomerular disease is likely via affecting cell hypertrophy and mesangial matrix accumulation.

. i5 [' {0 ]/ |( c2 g6 h4 YThe cellular mechanisms mediating impaired vasoconstrictor-induced [Ca 2  ] c transients in vascular smooth muscle cells exposed to the diabetic milieu and/or TGF- are unclear. Surface ANG II-binding sites are reduced in vascular smooth muscle cells in early diabetes ( 68 ) and TGF- has been described to downregulate AT 1 R in proximal tubular cells under high-glucose conditions ( 47 ). Our results in aortic tissue of diabetic rats demonstrate an increase in AT 1 R mRNA levels, suggesting that impaired ANG II binding is not responsible for the impaired ANG II effect. However, we do find that anti-TGF- treatment further increases AT 1 R, suggesting that TGF- may play a role to decrease ANG II receptor binding. In addition to altered plasma membrane binding of vasoconstrictors, intracellular defects are also likely to play a role. TGF- downregulates IP 3 RI in mesangial cells and impairs IP 3 sensitivity in permeabilized cells ( 55, 56 ). Furthermore, there is a decrease of IP 3 RI in vascular arteriolar structures in the diabetic rat kidney ( 57 ). In the present study, we find that diabetic aortic tissue has reduced IP 3 RI and the reduction is under the control of TGF-. In addition, alterations in calcium influx ( 7 ), protein kinase C ( 41, 66, 68 ), aldose-reductase ( 14, 49 ), reactive oxygen species ( 44 ), and arachidonic acid metabolites ( 20, 31, 33, 36, 40, 43 ) have all been implicated in mediating glucose toxicity in a variety of cell types including endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells. The relative roles of each of these pathways and possible cross talk between pathways will need to be elucidated.9 K! s9 o7 q% g4 _, \

5 l+ V% m0 M, }4 _6 yOur studies demonstrate that vascular smooth muscle cell dysfunction is an important feature of early diabetic vascular dysfunction. Numerous studies have found that endothelial dysfunction with impaired nitric oxide (NO) release is a characteristic finding in chronic diabetes ( 12, 29, 48 ). Although defective endothelial derived NO release would contribute to vasoconstriction during chronic diabetes, it is unlikely to explain the vasodilation noted in diabetic microvessels ( 7, 20 ) during the early stages. It is possible that TGF- may also play a role in endothelial dysfunction by inhibiting calcium mobilization in endothelial cells and thus impairing endothelial NO synthase activity. Studies to evaluate this possibility would provide further insight into the role of TGF- in vascular dysfunction of chronic diabetes.1 k" t! m' t( y# K  p7 ]% Z

$ z/ @" i  c7 E2 _9 VInterestingly, TGF- 2 was the isoform that we identified to be upregulated in aortic tissue, whereas TGF- 1 was increased in glomerular tissue from diabetic rats. In addition, TGF- 2 had a more potent effect to impair ANG II-induced calcium mobilization compared with TGF- 1 in the cell culture studies. The lack of increase of the TGF- 1 isoform with high glucose in aortic vascular smooth muscle cells was also reported previously ( 71 ) and contrasts with published results showing stimulation of TGF- 1 by high glucose in glomerular mesangial cells ( 23, 70 ). The signaling pathways underlying high-glucose-induced stimulation of TGF- 2 by high glucose are likely to be different than for TGF- 1 as the two isoforms are stimulated by different conditions and their respective promoters share little homology ( 52, 53 ).$ Y/ P6 d/ W4 `& G+ ^" h4 U6 [

In addition to the well-described role of TGF- in stimulating matrix accumulation during diabetic kidney disease ( 54, 74 ), TGF- may also mediate diabetic complications via its effects on vascular smooth muscle cell function.3 {) A4 q' h: V: T
