JAK2/STAT3/BMP-2 axis and NF-κB pathway are involved in erythropoietin-induced calcification in rat vascular smooth muscle cells.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Vascular calcification is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, while erythropoietin (EPO) is widely used in the treatment of renal anemia in CKD patients, whether there is a link between the two is still not clear. METHODS:The primary rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and CKD rats were treated with EPO and the calcium deposition was observed by alizarin red staining, von Kossa staining and calcium quantification. Activation of JAK2/STAT3/BMP-2 axis and NF-κB signaling pathways was investigated by Western blotting. RESULTS:EPO-induced calcium deposition in VSMCs and significantly potentiated calcification in CKD rats. Furthermore, EPO activated JAK2/STAT3/BMP-2 axis, NF-κB pathway and the pro-calcification effect of EPO was partially blocked by the STAT3 inhibitor (Cryptotanshinone) or NF-κB inhibitor (BAY 11-7082), respectively, in vitro. CONCLUSION:EPO could promote VSMCs calcification in vitro and in vivo and this effect may be achieved through the JAK2/STAT3/BMP-2 axis and NF-κB pathway.
