Chronic hypertension causes vascular remodeling that is associated with an increase of periostin (postn) positive cells, including fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. Krüppel-like factor (KLF) 5, a transcription factor, is also observed in vascular remodeling, however, it is unknown what role KLF5 plays in postn positive cells during vascular remodeling induced by deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt. We used postn positive cell-specific Klf5 deficient (Klf5PostnKO: Klf5flox/flox;PostnCre/−) mice and wild type (WT: Klf5flox/flox;Postn−/−) mice. We implanted a DOCA pellet and provided drinking water that containing 0.9% NaCl for eight-weeks. The DOCA-salt treatment induced hypertension in both genotype groups, as observed by the increase in systolic blood pressure. In WT, DOCA-salt treatment increased the aortic medial area compared to non-treated controls. Similarly, Tgf1b was overexpressed in the aortas of DOCA-salt treated WT mice compared to controls. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that fibroblast specific protein 1 (FSP1)+-α smooth muscle actin (αSMA)+ myofibroblast exist in the medial area of WT aorta after DOCA-salt intervention. Importantly, these changes were not observed in the Klf5PostnKO animals. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that the presence of KLF5 on postn positive cells contributes to the pathogenesis of aortic thickening induced by DOCA-salt hypertension.
