Resumen:

Cantú syndrome is a multisystem disorder caused by gain-of-function (GOF) mutations in KCNJ8 and ABCC9, the genes encoding the pore-forming inward rectifier Kir6.1 and regulatory sulfonylurea receptor SUR2B subunits, respectively, of vascular ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels. In this study, we investigated changes in the vascular endothelium in mice in which Cantú syndrome-associated Kcnj8 or Abcc9 mutations were knocked in to the endogenous loci. We found that endothelium-dependent dilation was impaired in small mesenteric arteries from Cantú mice. Loss of endothelium-dependent vasodilation led to increased vasoconstriction in response to intraluminal pressure or treatment with the adrenergic receptor agonist phenylephrine. We also found that either KATP GOF or acute activation of KATP channels with pinacidil increased the amplitude and frequency of wave-like Ca2+ events generated in the endothelium in response to the vasodilator agonist carbachol. Increased cytosolic Ca2+ signaling activity in arterial endothelial cells from Cantú mice was associated with elevated mitochondrial [Ca2+] and enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and peroxynitrite levels. Scavenging intracellular or mitochondrial ROS restored endothelium-dependent vasodilation in the arteries of mice with KATP GOF mutations. We conclude that mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and ROS generation, which subsequently leads to nitric oxide consumption and peroxynitrite formation, cause endothelial dysfunction in mice with Cantú syndrome.
