Abstract
Genetic deficiency of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), a rate-limiting enzyme for intracellular triglyceride (TG) hydrolysis, causes TG-deposit cardiomyovasculopathy (TGCV), a recently identified rare cardiovascular disorder (ORPHA code: 565612) in humans. One of the major characteristics of TGCV is a novel type of diffuse and concentric coronary atherosclerosis with ATGL-deficient smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Patients with TGCV have intractable coronary artery disease. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the mechanisms underlying vascular lesions in ATGL deficiency using animal models. Cuff injury is an experimental procedure to induce vascular remodeling with neointimal formation with SMCs after placing a cuff around the adventitial side of the artery without direct influence on endothelium. We report the effect of cuff injury on femoral arteries of ATGLknockout (ATGL–/–) mice. Cuff-induced concentric neointimal formation with migrating SMCs was exacerbated in ATGL–/– mice, mimicking atherosclerotic lesions in patients with TGCV. In the media, cell death of SMCs and loss of elastic fibers increased. Perivascular infiltrating cells expressing tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were more prominent in ATGL–/– mice than in wild-type (WT) mice. In Boyden chamber experiments, a greater number of ATGL–/– SMCs migrated in response to TNF-α compared to WT SMCs. These data, for the first time, demonstrated that outsidein signaling by cuff-induced neointimal formation where paracrine stimuli from adventitial infiltrating cells may lead to neointimal formation and mediolysis in ATGLdeficient conditions. Cuff injury might be a valuable model for understanding the mechanisms underlying the development of atherosclerotic lesions in patients with TGCV
