Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) mainly exists in cardiovascular
development and disease progression, and is well known to contribute to cardiac
fibrosis. Recent studies indicated that autophagy also participates in the
regulation of cardiac fibrosis. However, the precise role of autophagy in cardiac
fibrosis and the underlying molecular mechanism remain unclear. The present study
aimed to explore the role of autophagy in EndMT, reveal the underlying molecular
mechanism, and seek new therapy for cardiac fibrosis. In the present study, we
found that EndMT and autophagy were induced simultaneously by hypoxia in human
cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HCMECs). Rapamycin, an autophagy
enhancer, attenuated EndMT with promoting angiogenesis, while 3-methyladenine
(3-MA) and chloroquine (CQ), agents that inhibit autophagy, accelerated the
progression accompanied by the decrease in counts of tube formation under hypoxia
conditions. Interestingly, intervening autophagy by rapamycin, 3-MA, or CQ did
not affect hypoxia-induced autocrine TGF? signaling, but changed the expression
of Snail protein without alterations in the expression of Snail mRNA.
Furthermore, the colocalization of LC3 and Snail indicated that autophagy might
mediate Snail degradation under hypoxia conditions in HCMECs. Interaction of p62,
the substrate of autophagy, with Snail by co-immunoprecipitation especially in
hypoxia-incubated cells confirmed the hypothesis. In conclusion, autophagy serves
as a cytoprotective mechanism against EndMT to promote angiogenesis by degrading
Snail under hypoxia conditions, suggesting that autophagy targetted therapeutic
strategies may be applicable for cardiac fibrosis by EndMT.
