This study was aimed to investigate the role of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in cigarette smoke extract (CSE)-induced apoptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells and the underlying mechanism in a rat derived cell line. Rat thoracic aortic smooth muscle cells (A7r5) were divided into six groups including control, CSE (model), CSE+ overexpression empty vector (OvExp-EV), CSE+IL-1β knockdown (KD), and CSE+ IL-1β knockdown empty vector (KD-EV). The mRNA expression levels of IL-1β and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) were detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The apoptosis of A7r5 cells was detected by flow cytometry. The expression levels of inflammatory mediators (TNFα, IL-6 and IL-8) and apoptotic proteins (Bax and Bcl-2) were determined by western blot. CSE induced significant apoptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells (P < 0.01) and elevated the mRNA levels of IL-1β and PAPP-A (P < 0.01). CSE administration increased protein expression of Bax, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8, with significantly reduced Bcl-2 expression (P < 0.01). IL-1β knockdown significantly decreased cell apoptosis via regulating the expression of these proteins (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). IL-1β is involved in CSE-induced PAPP-A expression and apoptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells, which might be considered as a target for preventing of cardiovascular diseases caused by cigarette smoking.

D011266 Pregnancy-Associated Plasma Protein-A A product of the PLACENTA, and DECIDUA, secreted into the maternal circulation during PREGNANCY. It has been identified as an IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-4 protease that proteolyzes IGFBP-4 and thus increases IGF bioavailability. It is found also in human FIBROBLASTS, ovarian FOLLICULAR FLUID, and GRANULOSA CELLS. The enzyme is a heterotetramer of about 500-kDa.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
