Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is caused by atherosclerotic occlusions of vessels outside the heart, particularly those of the lower extremities. Angiogenesis is one critical physiological response to vessel occlusion in PAD, but our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in angiogenesis is incomplete. Dual specificity phosphatase 5 (DUSP5) has been shown to play a key role in embryonic vascular development, but its role in post-ischemic angiogenesis is not known. We induced hind limb ischemia in mice and found robust upregulation of DUSP5 expression in ischemic hind limbs. Moreover, in vivo knockdown of DUSP5 resulted in impaired perfusion recovery in ischemic limbs and was associated with increased limb necrosis. In vitro studies showed upregulation of DUSP5 in human endothelial cells exposed to ischemia, and knockdown of DUSP5 in these ischemic endothelial cells resulted in impaired endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis, but did not alter apoptosis. Finally, we show that these effects of DUSP5 on post-ischemic angiogenesis are a result of DUSP5-dependent decrease in ERK1/2 phosphorylation and p21 protein expression. Thus, we have identified a role of DUSP5 in post-ischemic angiogenesis and implicated a DUSP5-ERK-p21 pathway that may serve as a therapeutic target for the modulation of post-ischemic angiogenesis in PAD.
