Estrogen Receptor-{alpha} Mediates the Protective Effects of Estrogen Against Vascular Injury

Blood vessel cells express the 2 known estrogen receptors, {alpha} and ß (ER{alpha}, ERß), which are thought to mediate estrogen inhibition of vascular injury and atherosclerosis, but the relative role of ER{alpha} and ERß in these events is controversial. Estrogen inhibits the vascular injury response to the same extent in ovariectomized female wild-type mice and in the original single gene knockout mice for ER{alpha} (ER{alpha}KOChapel Hill [ER{alpha}KOCH]) and ERß (ERßKOChapel Hill [ERßKOCH]). In double gene knockout mice generated by crossing these animals (ER{alpha},ßKOCH), estrogen no longer inhibits medial thickening after vascular injury, but still inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and increases uterine weight. The partial retention of estrogen responsiveness in ER{alpha},ßKOCH mice could be due either to the presence of a novel, unidentified estrogen receptor or to functional expression of an estrogen receptor-{alpha} splice variant in the parental ER{alpha}KOCH mice. To distinguish between these possibilities, we studied recently generated mice fully null for estrogen receptor {alpha} (ER{alpha}KOStrasbourg [ER{alpha}KOSt]) and examined the effect of estrogen on the response to vascular injury. In the present study, we show that after vascular injury in ovariectomized ER{alpha}KOSt mice, estrogen has no detectable effect on any measure of vascular injury, including medial area, proteoglycan deposition, or smooth muscle cell proliferation. These data demonstrate that estrogen receptor-{alpha} mediates the protective effects of estrogen on the response to vascular injury.
