Glutathione peroxidases (GPx) play an important role in the cellular defense against oxidant stress by utilizing glutathione (GSH) to reduce lipid hydroperoxides and hydrogen peroxide to their corresponding alcohols. Cellular GPx (GPx-1) is the principal intracellular isoform of GPx. We hypothesized that GPx-1 deficiency per se induces endothelial dysfunction and structural vascular abnormalities through increased oxidant stress. METHODS AND RESULTS: A murine model of heterozygous deficiency of GPx-1 (GPx(+/-)) was investigated to examine this hypothesis. Mesenteric arterioles in GPx-1(+/-) mice demonstrated vasoconstriction to acetylcholine compared with vasodilation in wild-type mice (maximal change in vessel diameter, -13.0+/-2.8% versus 13.2+/-2.8%, P<0.0001). We also noted an increase in the plasma and aortic levels of the isoprostane iPF(2alpha)-III, a marker of oxidant stress, in GPx-1(+/-) mice compared with wild-type mice (170.4+/-23 pg/mL plasma versus 98.7+/-7.1 pg/mL plasma, P<0.03; 11.7+/-0.87 pg/mg aortic tissue versus 8.2+/-0.55 pg/mg aortic tissue, P<0.01). Histological sections from the coronary vasculature of GPx-1(+/-) mice show increased perivascular matrix deposition, an increase in the number of adventitial fibroblasts, and intimal thickening. These structural abnormalities in the myocardial vasculature were accompanied by diastolic dysfunction after ischemia-reperfusion. CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate that heterozygous deficiency of GPx-1 leads to endothelial dysfunction, possibly associated with increased oxidant stress, and to significant structural vascular and cardiac abnormalities. These data illustrate the importance of this key antioxidant enzyme in functional and structural responses of the mammalian cardiovascular system. http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAy4sD08lLtc5EFNNWbH5Pic6KMrBKOhi9ULo6M37r2GI#_5 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasQuotedFrom http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12196344 http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAy4sD08lLtc5EFNNWbH5Pic6KMrBKOhi9ULo6M37r2GI#_6 http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Selventa http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAy4sD08lLtc5EFNNWbH5Pic6KMrBKOhi9ULo6M37r2GI#assertion http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#hadPrimarySource http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12196344 http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAy4sD08lLtc5EFNNWbH5Pic6KMrBKOhi9ULo6M37r2GI#assertion http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasDerivedFrom http://resource.belframework.org/belframework/20131211/knowledge/large_corpus.bel http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAy4sD08lLtc5EFNNWbH5Pic6KMrBKOhi9ULo6M37r2GI#assertion http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasDerivedFrom http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAy4sD08lLtc5EFNNWbH5Pic6KMrBKOhi9ULo6M37r2GI#_5 http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAy4sD08lLtc5EFNNWbH5Pic6KMrBKOhi9ULo6M37r2GI#pubinfo http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAy4sD08lLtc5EFNNWbH5Pic6KMrBKOhi9ULo6M37r2GI http://purl.org/dc/terms/created 2014-07-03T14:31:53.139+02:00 http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAy4sD08lLtc5EFNNWbH5Pic6KMrBKOhi9ULo6M37r2GI http://purl.org/pav/createdBy http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6818-334X http://www.tkuhn.ch/bel2nanopub/RAy4sD08lLtc5EFNNWbH5Pic6KMrBKOhi9ULo6M37r2GI http://purl.org/pav/createdBy http://orcid.org/0000-0002-1267-0234
