Vascular calcification is a common pathological feature of atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, vascular injury, and aging. Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) plays pivotal roles in cellular processes such as apoptosis, metabolism, and cell cycle regulation. In addition, growing evidence has indicated that LKB1 functions as a tumor suppressor gene. However, its role in vascular calcification has not been reported. LKB1flox/flox mice were hybridized with SM22-CreERT2 transgenic mice and adult mice received tamoxifen to obtain smooth muscle-specific LKB1-knockout (LKB1SMKO) mice. LKB1 expression was decreased under calcifying conditions, and LKB1 overexpression had a protective effect on vascular calcification. However, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) overexpression partially counteracted the promotion of vascular calcification induced by LKB1 overexpression. Mechanically, LKB1 could bind to HMGB1 to promote HMGB1 degradation. Furthermore, LKB1SMKO mice showed intensified vascular calcification, which was alleviated by treatment with the HMGB1 inhibitor glycyrrhizic acid. Based on our results, LKB1 may inhibit vascular calcification via inhibiting HMGB1 expression.

D055372 AMP-Activated Protein Kinases Intracellular signaling protein kinases that play a signaling role in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism. Their activity largely depends upon the concentration of cellular AMP which is increased under conditions of low energy or metabolic stress. AMP-activated protein kinases modify enzymes involved in LIPID METABOLISM, which in turn provide substrates needed to convert AMP into ATP. 5'-AMP-Activated Protein Kinase,AMP-Activated Kinase,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase alpha Subunit,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase alpha Subunits,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase beta Subunit,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase beta Subunits,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase gamma Subunit,AMP-Activated Protein Kinase gamma Subunits,PRKAA,5' AMP Activated Protein Kinase,AMP Activated Kinase,AMP Activated Protein Kinase,AMP Activated Protein Kinase alpha Subunit,AMP Activated Protein Kinase alpha Subunits,AMP Activated Protein Kinase beta Subunit,AMP Activated Protein Kinase beta Subunits,AMP Activated Protein Kinase gamma Subunit,AMP Activated Protein Kinase gamma Subunits,AMP Activated Protein Kinases
D018345 Mice, Knockout Strains of mice in which certain GENES of their GENOMES have been disrupted, or "knocked-out". To produce knockouts, using RECOMBINANT DNA technology, the normal DNA sequence of the gene being studied is altered to prevent synthesis of a normal gene product. Cloned cells in which this DNA alteration is successful are then injected into mouse EMBRYOS to produce chimeric mice. The chimeric mice are then bred to yield a strain in which all the cells of the mouse contain the disrupted gene. Knockout mice are used as EXPERIMENTAL ANIMAL MODELS for diseases (DISEASE MODELS, ANIMAL) and to clarify the functions of the genes.
