Label-free quantitative proteomics identifies Smarca4 is involved in vascular calcification

Vascular calcification (VC) is a pathological process characterized by abnormal deposition of calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite and other mineral substances in the vascular wall. Hyperphosphorus is an important risk factor associated with VC in the general population and patients with chronic kidney...

description Vascular calcification (VC) is a pathological process characterized by abnormal deposition of calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite and other mineral substances in the vascular wall. Hyperphosphorus is an important risk factor associated with VC in the general population and patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, there is still a lack of early biomarkers for hyperphosphorus induced VC. We established a calcific rat aorta vascular smooth muscle cells (RASMCs) model by stimulating with β-glycerophosphate. Then we performed label-free quantitative proteomics combined with liquid chromatograph–mass spectrometer/mass spectrometer (LC-2D-MS/MS)analysis and bioinformatics analysis to find the potential biomarkers for VC. In the current study, we identified 113 significantly proteins. Fifty six of these proteins were significantly up-regulated and the other 57 proteins were significantly decreased in calcific RASMCs, compared to that of normal control cells (fold-change (fc)>1.2, p < .05). Bioinformatics analysis indicated that these significant proteins mainly involved in the placenta blood vessel development and liver regeneration. Their molecule function was cell adhesion molecule binding. Among them, Smarca4 is significantly up-regulated in calcific RASMCs with fc = 2.72 and p = .01. In addition, we also established VC rat model. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis confirmed that the expression of Smarca4 was significantly increased in the aorta of calcified rat. Consistent with the up-regulation of Smarca4, the expression of VC associated microRNA such as miR-133b and miR-155 was also increased. Consequently, our study demonstrates that Smarca4 is involved in hyperphosphorus-induced VC. This finding may contribute to the early diagnosis and prevention of VC.
