Abstract
Objectives: In the present study, we tested the effect of red wine on
eNOS expression and eNOS activity in human endothelial cells.
Background: Endothelial-type NO synthase (eNOS) exerts
vasoprotective effects. Moderate alcohol consumption has been
associated with a reduction of cardiovascular disease, and red wine
seems to offer more benefits than any other kind of drink. However,
the molecular basis of this protective effect is unclear.
Methods: Human endothelial cells were treated with red wine and
eNOS mRNA expression was measured by RNase protection assay,
eNOS protein expression by Western blotting, and eNOS activity by
RFL-6 reporter cell assay. eNOS promoter activity was analyzed in
transfected endothelial cells; binding activities of relevant
transcription factors were determined by electrophoretic mobility
shift assay.
Results: Incubation of endothelial cells with red wines from France
upregulated eNOS mRNA and protein expression. In contrast, red
wines from Germany showed little or no effect on eNOS expression.
No significant difference in eNOS mRNA expression could be
detected between ”en barrique” (matured in oak barrels) and ”non
barrique” (matured in steel tanks) produced French red wines.
Endothelial cells treated with French red wines produced up to three
times more bioactive NO than control cells. French red wines
increased the activity of the eNOS promoter, with the essential trans-
stimulated sequence being located in the proximal 326 bp of the
promoter sequence. eNOS mRNA stability was also increased by red
wine.
Conclusions: The increase in eNOS expression and activity brought
about by red wines from France (and probably other locations) may
contribute to the beneficial effects of this beverage on the
cardiovascular system.

NO is produced by vascular endothelium under basal conditions, and its
production can be further stimulated by a variety of receptor agonists. NO
dilates all types of blood vessels by stimulating soluble guanylyl cyclase
(sGC) and increasing cyclic cGMP in smooth muscle cells. In addition to its
vasodilator properties, NO can convey vasoprotection in several ways. NO
released towards the vascular lumen is a potent inhibitor of platelet
aggregation and adhesion to the vascular wall. Besides protection from
thrombosis, this also prevents the release of platelet-derived growth factor
(PDGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) that stimulate smooth muscle
proliferation and its production of matrix molecules. Endothelial NO also
controls the expression of genes involved in atherogenesis. NO decreases
the expression of the chemoattractant protein MCP-1, and of surface
adhesion molecules such as CD11/CD18, P-selectin, vascular cell adhesion
molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) thereby
preventing leukocyte adhesion to vascular endothelium and leukocyte
migration into the vascular wall. This offers protection against an early phase
of atherogenesis. Furthermore, NO has been shown to inhibit DNA synthesis,
mitogenesis, and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells as well as
smooth muscle cell migration, thereby protecting against a later phase of
atherogenesis. Based on the combination of those effects, NO produced in
endothelial cells can be considered an anti-atherosclerotic principle.

Effect of red wines on eNOS mRNA expression in human endothelial
EA.hy 926 cells. Cells were left untreated (control, Co) or exposed for 24 h
to ethanol (EtOH, 1.25%, v/v), three different German red wines
("Dornfelder 1997“ (1), "Kriegsheimer Rosengarten 1997“ (2) and
"Spätburgunder 1999“ (3)) or six different French red wines from
Bordeaux ("Chateau Bonnet reserve 1997“ (4), "Chateau Bellegrave 1997“
(5) and "Chateau de la Marechaude 1997“ (6)), Rhone ("Chateau Cabieres
1998“ (7)), and Burgundy ("Chateau Rousseau 1998“ (8), "Les Chevaliers
de la Reine 1998“ (9)). In this experiment, the red wines were diluted in
the cell culture medium to a final concentration of 10% (v/v). RNase
protection analyses were performed using antisense RNA probes to
human eNOS and GAPDH (for standardization).

Enhancement of eNOS promoter activity in EA.hy 926 cells after incubation
with French red wines. Panel A: EA.hy 926 cells were stably transfected with
p-eNOS-3500-Hu-Luc-neo. Stable cells were incubated for 24 h with ethanol
(EtOH, 1.25%, v/v), or various concentrations of two French red wines ("Les
Chevaliersde la Reine 1998" and "Chateau Bonnet reserve 1997"). The
luciferase activity (normalized by protein content) was taken as a measure of
eNOS promoter activity. Panel B: EA.hy 926 cells were transiently transfected
with pGl3-Basic (containing a promoter-less luciferase gene) or different eNOS
promoter luciferase constructs (p-eNOS-1600-Hu-Luc, p-eNOS-1111-Hu-Luc, p-
eNOS-633-Hu-Luc and p-eNOS-326-Hu-Luc, containing 1.6-kb to 0.33-kb of the
eNOS promoter cloned before a luciferase reporter gene). The different
transfected cells were either exposed 24 h to ethanol (EtOH, 1.25%, v/v) or to
the red wine "Les Chevaliers de la Reine 1998" (10%, v/v). The relative
luciferase activity (corrected with renilla-luciferase activity) was taken as a
measure of eNOS promoter activity.

Red wine increases eNOS expression and NO production in endothelial cells

  • 2. Red wine increases the expression of human endothelial NO synthase (eNOS): a mechanism that may contribute to its beneficial cardiovascular effects Department of Pharmacology, Johannes Gutenberg University, D-55101 Mainz, Germany Thomas Wallerath, PhD Daniela Poleo Huige Li MD, PhD Ulrich Förstermann, MD, PhD
  • 3. Abstract Objectives: In the present study, we tested the effect of red wine on eNOS expression and eNOS activity in human endothelial cells. Background: Endothelial-type NO synthase (eNOS) exerts vasoprotective effects. Moderate alcohol consumption has been associated with a reduction of cardiovascular disease, and red wine seems to offer more benefits than any other kind of drink. However, the molecular basis of this protective effect is unclear. Methods: Human endothelial cells were treated with red wine and eNOS mRNA expression was measured by RNase protection assay, eNOS protein expression by Western blotting, and eNOS activity by RFL-6 reporter cell assay. eNOS promoter activity was analyzed in transfected endothelial cells; binding activities of relevant transcription factors were determined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Results: Incubation of endothelial cells with red wines from France upregulated eNOS mRNA and protein expression. In contrast, red wines from Germany showed little or no effect on eNOS expression. No significant difference in eNOS mRNA expression could be detected between ”en barrique” (matured in oak barrels) and ”non barrique” (matured in steel tanks) produced French red wines. Endothelial cells treated with French red wines produced up to three times more bioactive NO than control cells. French red wines increased the activity of the eNOS promoter, with the essential trans- stimulated sequence being located in the proximal 326 bp of the promoter sequence. eNOS mRNA stability was also increased by red wine. Conclusions: The increase in eNOS expression and activity brought about by red wines from France (and probably other locations) may contribute to the beneficial effects of this beverage on the cardiovascular system.

Aggregating platelets Endothelial cells Smooth muscle cells GTP cGMP Vasodilatation Ca2+ CaML-Arginine +O2 L-Citrulline R R Ca2+ ADP Serotonin NO NO Receptor agonists PDGF FGF Proliferation Leukocytes Blood vessel CD11/CD18 expression + + - - - NO is produced by vascular endothelium under basal conditions, and its production can be further stimulated by a variety of receptor agonists. NO dilates all types of blood vessels by stimulating soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) and increasing cyclic cGMP in smooth muscle cells. In addition to its vasodilator properties, NO can convey vasoprotection in several ways. NO released towards the vascular lumen is a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation and adhesion to the vascular wall. Besides protection from thrombosis, this also prevents the release of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) that stimulate smooth muscle proliferation and its production of matrix molecules. Endothelial NO also controls the expression of genes involved in atherogenesis. NO decreases the expression of the chemoattractant protein MCP-1, and of surface adhesion molecules such as CD11/CD18, P-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) thereby preventing leukocyte adhesion to vascular endothelium and leukocyte migration into the vascular wall. This offers protection against an early phase of atherogenesis. Furthermore, NO has been shown to inhibit DNA synthesis, mitogenesis, and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells as well as smooth muscle cell migration, thereby protecting against a later phase of atherogenesis. Based on the combination of those effects, NO produced in endothelial cells can be considered an anti-atherosclerotic principle. Vasoprotective role of NO eNOS sGC

Panel A: Western blot analyses using a polyclonal anti-eNOS- and a monoclonal anti-β−tubulin-antibody (for normalization). Cells were incubated for 48 h with ethanol (EtOH, 1.25 %, v/v) or two different French red wines ("Chateau Bonnet reserve 1997" and "Les Chevaliers de la Reine 1998", 1%, 3% and 10%, v/v). The blots represent four independent experiments each. Panel B shows the effect of a 48 h incubation with "L.Chevaliers" and "Ch.Bonnet reserve" on the NO production in EA.hy 926 cells stimulated for 2 min with the calcium ionophore A23187. Conditioned medium from EA.hy 926 cells was transferred to RFL-6 reporter cells and incubated for 2 min. Thereafter, cGMP content in RFL-6 cells was determined by radioimmunoassay.

Panel A: EA.hy 926 cells were stably transfected with p-eNOS-3500-Hu-Luc-neo. Stable cells were incubated for 24 h with ethanol (EtOH, 1.25%, v/v), or various concentrations of two French red wines ("Les Chevaliersde la Reine 1998" and "Chateau Bonnet reserve 1997"). The luciferase activity (normalized by protein content) was taken as a measure of eNOS promoter activity. Panel B: EA.hy 926 cells were transiently transfected with pGl3-Basic (containing a promoter-less luciferase gene) or different eNOS promoter luciferase constructs (p-eNOS-1600-Hu-Luc, p-eNOS-1111-Hu-Luc, p- eNOS-633-Hu-Luc and p-eNOS-326-Hu-Luc, containing 1.6-kb to 0.33-kb of the eNOS promoter cloned before a luciferase reporter gene). The different transfected cells were either exposed 24 h to ethanol (EtOH, 1.25%, v/v) or to the red wine "Les Chevaliers de la Reine 1998" (10%, v/v). The relative luciferase activity (corrected with renilla-luciferase activity) was taken as a measure of eNOS promoter activity.
