NADPH oxidases (Nox) regulate vascular physiology and contribute to the pathogenesis of vascular disease. In vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), the interactions of individual Nox homologues with regulatory proteins are poorly defined. The objective of this study was to identify novel NADPH oxidase regulatory proteins. Using a yeast 2 hybrid screen, we identified a novel binding partner, Poldip2, and demonstrate that it associates with p22phox, Nox1 and Nox4 and co-localizes with p22phox at sites of Nox4 localization. Poldip2 increases Nox4 enzymatic activity by 3-fold and positively regulates basal reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in VSMCs (O2•−: 86.3±15.6% increase; H2O2: 40.7±4.5% increase). Overexpression of Poldip2 activates Rho (180.2±24.8% increase), strengthens focal adhesions and increases stress fiber formation. These phenotypic changes are blocked by dominant negative Rho. In contrast, depletion of either Poldip2 or Nox4 results in a loss of these structures, which is rescued by adding back active Rho. Cell migration, which requires dynamic cytoskeletal remodeling, is impaired by either excess (70.1±14.7% decrease) or insufficient Poldip2 (63.5±5.9% decrease). These results suggest that Poldip2 associates with p22phox to activate Nox4, leading to regulation of focal adhesion turnover and VSMC migration, thus linking ROS production and cytoskeletal remodeling. Poldip2 may be a novel therapeutic target for vascular pathologies with a significant VSMC migratory component, such as restenosis and atherosclerosis.
