Loss of insulin action on the endothelium can cause endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Hyperglycemia and elevated fatty acids induced by diabetes can activate protein kinase C (PKC) β isoforms and selectively inhibit insulin signaling via phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway to inhibit the activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and metabolic actions. To demonstrate that overexpressing PKCβ2 isoform in endothelial cells can cause selective insulin resistance and exacerbate atherosclerosis in the aorta. PKCβ2 isoform was overexpressed in endothelial cells using a promoter of vascular endothelial cell-cadherin (VE-Cadherin). These mice were cross-bred with ApoE-/- mice (Tg (Prkcb)ApoE-/-). On a Western diet, Tg(Prkcb)ApoE-/- and ApoE-/- mice did not differ in systemic insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, plasma lipid or blood pressure. Insulin action in endothelial cells and femoral artery from Tg(Prkcb)ApoE-/- mice were impaired by ∼40% with respect to Akt/eNOS activation and leukocyte-endothelial cell binding increased in cultured lung endothelial cells from Tg(Prkcb)ApoE-/-mice compared to ApoE-/- mice. Basal and angiotensin stimulated big endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels were elevated in Tg(Prkcb)ApoE-/- mice compared to ApoE-/- mice. The severity of atherosclerosis in the aorta from Tg(Prkcb)ApoE-/- mice increased by ∼70% as measured by en face fat staining and plaque content of the number of smooth muscle cells, macrophages and extracellular matrix. Specific PKCβ2 activation in the endothelial cells caused dysfunction and accelerated atherosclerosis due to loss of insulin-stimulated Akt/eNOS activation and angiotensin induced increases in ET-1 expression.
