Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2 (TET2) mediates the conversion of
5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC). The loss of TET2 is
associated with advanced atherosclerotic lesions. Our previous study showed that
TET2 improves endothelial cell function by enhancing endothelial cell autophagy.
Accordingly, this study determined the role of TET2 in atherosclerosis and
potential mechanisms. In ApoE-/- mice fed high-fat diet, TET2 overexpression
markedly decreased atherosclerotic lesions with uniformly increased level of 5hmC
and decreased level of 5mC in genomic DNA. TET2 overexpression also promoted
autophagy and downregulated inflammation factors, such as vascular cell adhesion
molecule 1, intercellular adhesion molecule 1, monocyte chemotactic protein 1,
and interleukin-1. Consistently, TET2 knockdown with small hairpin RNA (shRNA) in
ApoE-/- mice decreased 5hmC and increased 5mC levels in atherosclerotic lesions.
Meanwhile, autophagy was inhibited and atherosclerotic lesions progressed with an
unstable lesion phenotype characterized by large lipid core, macrophage
accumulation, and upregulated inflammation factor expression. Experiments with
the cultured endothelial cells revealed that oxidized low-density lipoprotein
(ox-LDL) inhibited endothelial cell autophagy. TET2 shRNA strengthened impaired
autophagy and autophagic flux in the ox-LDL-treated endothelial cells. TET2
overexpression reversed these effects by decreasing the methylation level of the
Beclin 1 promoter, which contributed to the downregulation of inflammation
factors. Overall, we identified that TET2 was downregulated during the
pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The downregulation of TET2 promotes the
methylation of the Beclin 1 promoter, leading to endothelial cell autophagy,
impaired autophagic flux, and inflammatory factor upregulation. Upregulation of
TET2 may be a novel therapeutic strategy for treating atherosclerosis.
