Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1B1 is implicated in vascular smooth muscle cell migration, proliferation, and hypertension. We assessed the contribution of CYP1B1 to angiotensin (Ang) II–induced abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). MaleApoe−/−/Cyp1b1+/+andApoe−/−/Cyp1b1−/−mice were infused with Ang II or its vehicle for 4 weeks; another group ofApoe−/−/Cyp1b1+/+mice was coadministered the CYP1B1 inhibitor 2,3′,4,5′-tetramethoxystilbene (TMS) every third day for 4 weeks. On day 28 of Ang II infusion, AAAs were analyzed by ultrasound andex vivoby Vernier calipers, mice were euthanized, and tissues were harvested. Ang II produced AAAs inApoe−/−/Cyp1b1+/+mice; mice treated with TMS orApoe−/−/Cyp1b1−/−mice had reduced AAAs. Ang II enhanced infiltration of macrophages, T cells, and platelets and increased platelet-derived growth factor D,Pdgfrb,Itga2, and matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 expression in aortic lesions; these changes were inhibited in mice treated with TMS and inApoe−/−/Cyp1b1−/−mice. Oxidative stress resulted in cyclooxygenase-2 expression in aortic lesions. These effects were minimized inApoe−/−/Cyp1b1+/+mice treated with TMS and inApoe−/−/Cyp1b1−/−mice and by concurrent treatment with the superoxide scavenger 4-hydroxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl. CYP1B1 contributed to the development of Ang II–induced AAA and associated pathogenic events in mice, likely by enhancing oxidative stress and associated signaling events. Thus, CYP1B1 may serve as a target for therapeutic agents for AAA in males.
