Background  Exposure to psychosocial stress is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, including vascular aging and regeneration. Given that dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 ( DPP 4) regulates several intracellular signaling pathways associated with the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 ( GLP ‐1) metabolism, we investigated the role of  DPP 4/ GLP ‐1 axis in vascular senescence and ischemia‐induced neovascularization in mice under chronic stress, with a special focus on adiponectin ‐mediated peroxisome proliferator activated receptor‐γ/its co‐activator 1α ( PGC ‐1α) activation.    Methods and Results  Seven‐week‐old mice subjected to restraint stress for 4 weeks underwent ischemic surgery and were kept under immobilization stress conditions. Mice that underwent ischemic surgery alone served as controls. We demonstrated that stress impaired the recovery of the ischemic/normal blood‐flow ratio throughout the follow‐up period and capillary formation. On postoperative day 4, stressed mice showed the following: increased levels of plasma and ischemic muscle  DPP 4 and decreased levels of  GLP ‐1 and adiponectin in plasma and phospho‐ AMP ‐activated protein kinase α (p‐ AMPK α), vascular endothelial growth factor, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor‐γ,  PGC ‐1α, and Sirt1 proteins and insulin receptor 1 and glucose transporter 4 genes in the ischemic tissues, vessels, and/or adipose tissues and numbers of circulating endothelial  CD 31 + /c‐Kit +  progenitor cells. Chronic stress accelerated aortic senescence and impaired aortic endothelial sprouting.  DPP 4 inhibition and  GLP ‐1 receptor activation improved these changes; these benefits were abrogated by adiponectin blocking and genetic depletion.    Conclusions  These results indicate that the  DPP 4/ GLP ‐1‐adiponectin axis is a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of vascular aging and cardiovascular disease under chronic stress conditions.
