Aim

To investigate the mechanism of Piezo1 activation participating in rat coronary artery smooth muscle cells (CASMCs) calcification under high calcium-phosphate stimulation.

Methods

CASMCs were treated with β -glycerophosphate and CaCl2 for 10 days to induce calcification, and cells were divided into the general group(GM)and the calcification group (CM). Then, CASMCs were intervened with inhibitor GsMTx4, siRNA-Piezo1 and agonist Yoda1, respectively. The calcification of CASMCs was examined via alizarin red staining, and the expression of proteins associated with phenotype transition and mitochondrial dynamics was examined via Western blot.

Results

Compared with the GM, the CM had more obvious calcification(P < 0.01). The expression of Piezo1, Runx2, BMP2 and OPN increased(P < 0.01), and the expression of SM22α and SM-MHC decreased(P < 0.01)in the CM. After intervention with GsMTx4 and siRNA-Piezo1, calcification was significantly alleviated(P < 0.01), while intervention with Yoda1 enhanced calcification(P < 0.01). In addition, when stimulated with high calciumphosphorus, there was an increase in the expression of DRP1Ser616 and FIS1(P < 0.01), and a decrease in the expression of MFN1 and MFN2(P < 0.01). Intervention with Yoda1 could aggravate mitochondrial fission (P < 0.01), and intervention with Mdivi-1 could alleviate CASMCs calcification (P < 0.01).

Conclusions

Piezo1 activation can mediate the calcification of CASMCs under high calcium and phosphorus stimulation, and its mechanism may be related to the induction of mitochondrial dynamics imbalance.
