Migration of CD4-positive lymphocytes into the vessel wall represents an important step in early atherogenesis. Telmisartan is an angiotensin type 1 receptor ( AT1R) blocker with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ( PPAR)-gamma- activating properties. The present study examined the effect of telmisartan on CD4-positive cell migration and the role of PPAR gamma in this context. CD4-positive lymphocytes express both the AT1R and PPAR gamma. Stimulation of CD4-positive lymphocytes with stromal cell-derived factor ( SDF)-1 leads to a 4.1 +/- 3.1-fold increase in cell migration. Pretreatment of cells with telmisartan reduces this effect in a concentration-dependent manner to a maximal 1.6 +/- 0.7-fold induction at 10 mu mol/ L of telmisartan ( P < 0.01 compared with SDF-1 - treated cells; n = 22). Three different PPAR gamma activators, rosiglitazone, pioglitazone, and GW1929, had similar effects, whereas eprosartan, a non-PPAR gamma - activating AT1R blocker, did not affect chemokine-induced lymphocyte migration. Telmisartan's effect on CD4-positive lymphocyte migration was mediated through an early inhibition of chemokine-induced phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity. Downstream, telmisartan inhibited F-actin formation, as well as intercellular adhesion molecule-3 translocation. Transfection of CD4-positive lymphocytes with PPAR gamma small interfering RNA abolished telmisartan's effect on migration, whereas blockade of the AT1R had no such effect. Telmisartan inhibits chemokine-induced CD4-positive cell migration independent of the AT1R via PPAR gamma. These data provide a novel mechanism to explain how telmisartan modulates lymphocyte activation by its PPAR gamma-activating properties.
