Abstract
  • We report that in endothelial cells, the angiogenic effect of 17beta-estradiol (E2) is inhibited by the estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist ICI or the NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor 7-nitroindazole via downregulation of hTERT, the telomerase catalytic subunit, suggesting that E2 and NO are involved in controlling hTERT transcription. Quantitative Real-Time PCR and chromatin immunoprecipitations in E2-treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells, showed recruitment of ERs on the hTERT promoter and concomitant enrichment in histone 3 methylation at Lysine 79, a modification associated with transcription-competent chromatin. Confocal microscopy and re-chromatin immunoprecipitations revealed that on E2 induction, endothelial (e)NOS rapidly localized into the nucleus and associated with ERalpha on the hTERT promoter. Transfections of a constitutively active eNOS mutant (S1177D) strongly induced the hTERT promoter, indicating a direct role of the protein in hTERT transcriptional regulation. Mutation of the estrogen response element in the promoter abolished response to both ERs and active eNOS, demonstrating that the estrogen response element integrity is required for hTERT regulation by these factors. To investigate this novel regulation in a reduced NO environment, pulmonary endothelial cells were isolated from eNOS(-/-) mice and grown with/without E2. In wild-type cells, E2 significantly increased telomerase activity. In eNOS(-/-) cells, basal telomerase activity was rescued by exogenous eNOS or an NO donor, whereas responsiveness to E2 demanded the active protein. In conclusion, we document the novel findings of a combinatorial eNOS/ERalpha complex at the hTERT estrogen response element site and that active eNOS and ligand-activated ERs cooperate in regulating hTERT expression in the endothelium.
