Research Abstract

In this study, we investigated whether activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) could suppress macrophage proliferation, using AICAR, which is a pharmacological AMPK activator. AMPK activation suppressed Ox-LDL-induced macrophage proliferation by suppressing GM-CSF expression and inducing cell cycle arrest. Moreover, treatment with AICAR suppressed atherosclerotic lesion formation, and decreased the number of PCNA-positive macrophages in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. In conclusion, we found that AICAR-mediated AMPK activation suppressed Ox-LDL-induced macrophage proliferation by suppressing GM-CSF expression and inducing cell cycle arrest, and suppressed the progression of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. Because the proliferation of vascular cells including macrophages is a key event in the development and progression of atherosclerosis, these effects of AMPK activation may represent therapeutic targets for atherosclerosis.
