ABSTRACT
Vascular calcification (VC) is a characteristic feature in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and is closely associated with the osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 10 (USP10) has been shown to regulate multiple cellular processes; however, its relationship with diabetic VC remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the role of USP10 in VC development and the underlying regulatory mechanisms. Nε-carboxymethyl lysine (CML) was significantly increased in calcified ateries from diabetic atherosclerosis ApoE-/- mice fed with high-fat diets. CML downregulated USP10 expression in VSMCs and calcified mice coronary arteries, as assessd by Western blotting, RT-qPCR,immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. Loss-and gain-of-function experiments were conducted both in vitro and in vivo to verify the biological functions of USP10. Ectopic expression of USP10 mitigated the severity of VC. With regard to the mechanism, the interaction between USP10 and AMPKα was investigated through double-label immunofluorescence and Co-immunoprecipitation. In vitro ubiquitination assay revealed that USP10 was capable of mediating AMPKα ubiquitination and caused increased AMPKα phosphorylation level at Thr172. Moreover, the anticalcification effect of USP10 was reversed by pharmacological inhibition of AMPK signaling pathway. The current fundings suggest an important role of USP10 in diabetic VC progression, at least in part, via mediating the ubiquitination and activation of AMPKα. USP10 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of diabetic VC.
