Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction is the initial process of atherosclerosis. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), as a molecular chaperone, plays a crucial role in various cardiovascular diseases. Hsp90 function is regulated by S-nitrosylation (SNO). However, the precise role of SNO-Hsp90 in endothelial dysfunction during atherosclerosis remains unclear. We here identified Hsp90 as a highly S-nitrosylated target in endothelial cells (ECs) by biotin switch assay combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The elevation of SNO-Hsp90 was observed in atherosclerotic human and rodent aortas as well as in oxidized LDL (oxLDL)-treated ECs. Inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) or transfection with Hsp90 cysteine 521 (Cys521) mutation plasmid decreased the level of SNO-Hsp90 in oxLDL-cultured ECs. Coimmunoprecipitation and proximity ligation assay demonstrated that SNO-Hsp90 at Cys521 suppressed the interaction between Hsp90 and activator of Hsp90 ATPase activity 1 (AHA1), but promoted the association of Hsp90 and cell division cycle 37 (CDC37). Hsp90 Cys521 mutation increased endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity and inhibited nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling, thereby increasing nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and alleviating endothelial adhesion, inflammation and oxidative stress in oxLDL-treated ECs. Also, administration of endothelial-specific adeno-associated viruses of Cys521-mutated Hsp90 significantly mitigated vascular oxidative stress, macrophage infiltration and atherosclerosis lesion areas in high fat diet-fed ApoE-/- mice. In conclusion, SNO-Hsp90 at Cys521, that serves as a conformational switch, disrupts Hsp90/AHA1 interaction but promotes recruitment of CDC37 to exacerbate atherosclerosis.
