Factors promoting thrombosis such as von Willebrand factor (vWF) and P-selectin are essential for the development of atherosclerosis (AS) and arterial thrombosis. The processing, maturation and release of vWF are regulated by autophagy of vascular endothelial cells. The Sirt1/FoxO1 pathway is an important pathway to regulate autophagy of endothelial cells, therefore the Sirt1/FoxO1 pathway may be an important target for the prevention of thrombosis. We investigated the role of ox-LDL in the release of vWF and P-selectin and the expression of Sirt1 and FoxO1 by Western Blot, Flow Cytometry, ELISA, and tandem fluorescent mRFP-GFP-LC3. We found that vWF and P-selectin secretion increased and Sirt1/FoxO1 pathway was depressed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) when treated with ox-LDL. Moreover, the expression of autophagy-related protein LC3-II/I and p62 increased. Then, we explored the relationship between autophagy regulated by the Sirt1/FoxO1 pathway and the secretion of vWF and P-selectin. We found that Sirt1/FoxO1, activated by the Sirt1 activators resveratrol (RSV) and SRT1720, decreased the secretion of vWF and P-selectin, which can be abolished by the autophagy inhibitor 3-MA. The expression of Rab7 increased when Sirt1/FoxO1 pathway was activated, and the accumulation of p62 was decreased. Autophagy flux was inhibited by ox-LDL and Sirt1/FoxO1 pathway might enhance autophagy flux through the promotion of the Rab7 expression. Taken together, our data suggest that by enhancing autophagy flux and decreasing the release of vWF and P-selectin, the Sirt1/FoxO1 pathway may be a promising target to prevent AS and arterial thrombosis.
