Vascular endothelial damage is the major contributing factor to cardiovascular diseases. Recently, the therapeutic significance of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) has drawn increasing attention due to their roles in re-endothelialization following injury. The inhibitor of DNA-binding 1 (ID1) has been proven to promote EPC proliferation and migration, suggesting a critical function of ID1 in re-endothelialization. However, the underlying mechanisms remain undefined. In this study, ID1 was found to interact with E2-2 using immunoprecipitation analysis. Moreover, ID1 overexpression suppressed E2-2 expression and luciferase reporter activity; however, these effects were not observed in cells transfected with ID1 lacking the helix-loop-helix (HLH) domain (ID1ΔHLH). Further functional analysis corroborated that the upregulation of E2-2 markedly attenuated the ID1-mediated increase in EPC proliferation and migration. Furthermore, the HLH domain plays an important role in ID1-induced EPC proliferation and migration, as its deletion suppressed the positive regulatory effects of ID1 on EPC proliferation and migration. Taken together, the findings of our study confirm that ID1 promotes EPC proliferation and migration by suppressing E2-2 through the HLH domain in ID1. Therefore, ID1 may represent a potential therapeutic target for EPC-mediated re-endothelialization following vascular injury.
