description | Background Investigations into alternative treatments for hypertension are necessary because current treatments cannot fully reduce the risk for the development of cardiovascular diseases. Chronic activation of unfolded protein response attributable to the endoplasmic reticulum stress has been proposed as a potential therapeutic target for hypertension and associated vascular remodeling. Triggered by the accumulation of misfolded proteins, chronic unfolded protein response leads to downstream signaling of cellular inflammation and dysfunction. Here, we have tested our hypothesis that a novel chemical chaperone, 3‐hydroxy‐2‐naphthoic acid (3HNA) can attenuate angiotensin II (AngII)‐induced vascular remodeling and hypertension. Methods and Results Mice were infused with AngII for 2 weeks to induce vascular remodeling and hypertension with or without 3HNA treatment. We found that injections of 3HNA prevented hypertension and increase in heart weight body weight ratio induced by AngII infusion. Histological assessment revealed that 3HNA treatment prevented vascular medial thickening as well as perivascular fibrosis in response to AngII infusion. In cultured vascular smooth muscle cells, 3HNA attenuated enhancement in protein synthesis induced by AngII. In vascular adventitial fibroblasts, 3HNA prevented induction of unfolded protein response markers. Conclusions We present evidence that a chemical chaperone 3HNA prevents vascular remodeling and hypertension in mice with AngII infusion, and 3HNA further prevents increase in protein synthesis in AngII‐stimulated vascular smooth muscle cells. Using 3HNA may represent a novel therapy for hypertension with multiple benefits by preserving protein homeostasis under cardiovascular stress. |
