Research Abstract

Role of JAK2 in hypertrophy of vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro and in vivo.
1) JAK2 inhibitor, AG-490, inhibited hypertophy (cell size, 3H-thimidine uptake and 3H-leucine uptake) in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells induced by angiotensin II (AII).
2) AG-490 inhibited tyrosine phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors in AII-induced vascular hypertrophy in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells.
3) AG-490 inhibited vascular hyperophy (weight) of thoracic aortas from 12-week-old spon-taneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) in vivo.
4) AG-490 also inhibited tyrosine phophorylation of EGF receptors from media of thoracic aortas in 15-week-old SHRs. However, AG-490 did not changed blood pressure in the rats.
5) AG-490 inhibited interferon stimulated response element (IRSE), interon gamma-activation site (SAS), and sis-inducible element (SIE), which were detected by the gel shift assays.
These results suggest that JAK2 involves in the vascular hypertrophy of hypertensive rats, possbly through cross-talk of EGF receptors in vitro and in vivo.
