Transcriptome analysis of vascular smooth muscle cells from mice deficient for chaperone-mediated autophagy


ABSTRACT: Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) contributes to regulation of energy homeostasis by timely degradation of enzymes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism. Here, we report reduced CMA activity in vascular smooth muscle cells and macrophages in murine and human arteries in response to atherosclerotic challenges. We show that in vivo genetic blockage of CMA worsens atherosclerotic pathology through both systemic and cell-autonomous changes in vascular smooth muscle cells and macrophages, the two main cell types involved in atherogenesis. CMA deficiency promotes dedifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells and a pro-inflammatory state in macrophages. Conversely, a genetic mouse model with upregulated CMA shows lower vulnerability to the pro-atherosclerotic challenge. We propose that CMA could be an attractive therapeutic target against cardiovascular diseases.
