AIM: The study was undertaken to explore the dynamic changes of the concentration of nitric oxide(NO) in ischemic myocardium and its mechanism.METHODS: In vivo myocardial ischemia of mice and in vitro perfused isolated heart of rat were used in the experiment. The effects of severity and time of ischemia on NO production, NOS activity and mRNA were examined, respectively. RESULTS: There was a considerable difference (P<0.01) in the concentration of NO between ischemia group [(9.12±1.40) μmol/L] and control group [(20.16±1.67) μmol/L] after Pit(30 U/kg) administration, and the concentration of NO of ischemic group significantly decreased [(9.17±1.33) μmol/L] compared with control group [(19.90±1.95) μmol/L] after 30 minutes of ischemia. Also, the concentration of NO after Pit(20 U/L) administration in K-H and 15 min of ischemia was (15.41±2.00) μmol/L and (15.09±2.00) μmol/L respectively in vitro, significantly lower than control group [(23.83±2.33) μmol/L and (23.63±2.52) μmol/L]. In addition, compared with control group, the number of NOS positive cells, NOS activity as well as mRNA expression in atrial muscle and ventricular muscle of ischemic group were markedly reduced, respectively. CONCLUSION: Myocardial ischemia could reduced the NO level in myocardium, down-regulation of NOS mRNA could be the possible mechanism.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β(PPARβ)-nitric oxide(NO) signal pathway in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by high glucose(25.5 mmol/L) and insulin(0.1 μmol/L)(HGI). METHODS: The cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was characterized in rat primary cardiomyocytes by measuring the cell surface area, protein content, and the mRNA expression of atrial natriuretic factor(ANF). The mRNA and protein expression were measured by real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The activity of NO synthase(NOS) and NO content were measured by a reagent kit through ultraviolet spectroscopy. RESULTS: HGI induced profound change of hypertrophic morphology, and significantly increased the cell surface area, protein content and mRNA expression of ANF(P<0.01), but decreased the expression of PPARβ at mRNA and protein levels(P<0.05). At the same time, the expression of inducible NOS(iNOS) was obviously elevated(P<0.01), which occurred in parallel with the rising NOS activity and NO concentration(P<0.01). GW0742(1 μmol/L), a selective PPARβ agonist, inhibited the cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by HGI(P<0.01), and up-regulated the expression of PPARβ at both mRNA and protein levels. Meanwhile, GW0742 also inhibited the increases in iNOS expression, NOS activity, and NO content induced by HGI, which were abolished by GSK0660(1 μmol/L), a selective PPARβ antagonist(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: PPARβ down-regulation and the following iNOS-NO activation are involved in the cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by HGI.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of nitric oxide (NO) inhalation on nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and endothelin-1 (ET-l) of patients with hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. METHODS: Examined 13 pulmonic blood samples to determine the concentration of NOS in leukocyte and ET-1 in plasma before NO inhalation, 30 minutes after inhalation, 2 and 12 hours after stopping of inhalation respectiviy. RESULTS: The values taken before inhalation was NOS (0.70 ± 0.21 )mol/min·mg-1, ET-1 (78.89 ± 46.59) Pmol/L; 30 minutes after inhalation (0.74±0.14)mol/min·mg-1, ET-1 (88.27 ± 45.41 )pmol/L; 2 hours after stopping of inhalation NOS (0.64 ± 0.22)mol/min·mg-1, ET-1 (80.76±42.66)pmol/L; and 12 hours after stopping of inhalation NOS (0. 63± 0. 17)mol/min.mg-1, ET-1(61.07±29.44)pmol/L. NO significant difference was found in the values of NOS and ET- 1 before and after inhalation, P＞ 0.05. CONCLUSION: The effects of NO inhalation on NOS and ET-l in patients with hypoxic pulmonary hypertension are not significant according to the above investigation.  相似文献

AIM: We hypothesize that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α(PPARα) agonists act directly on nitric oxide (NO) production in vascular endothelium. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of fenofibrate on endothelial NO synthase(eNOS) activity and its expression in cultured vascular endothelial cells. METHODS: Bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) were treated with the PPARα activator fenofibrate. The eNOS activity and the expression of eNOS protein and its mRNA were determined. RESULTS: Our data show that fenofibrate increased eNOS activity in a dose-and time-dependent manner. At the concentration of 10 μmol/L or more, fenofibrate treatment caused a significant increase in eNOS activity. The maximal increase in eNOS activity(2.32±0.47 fold of the control) was observed with 50 μmol/L fenofibrate treatment for 48 h. Fenofibrate failed to increase eNOS activity at 1 and 12 h. RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that eNOS mRNA relative to β-actin mRNA significantly increased at concentrations of 5 μmol/L or more. It reached 2.08±0.33 fold of the control with 50 μmol/L fenofibrate. Significant increase in eNOS mRNA levels was observed after 6 h, and lasted for 48 h. The peak increase in eNOS mRNA levels(2.13±0.30 fold of the control,P<0.01) was observed with 50 μmol/L fenofibrate treatment for 12 h. Longer incubation of cells with 50 μmol/L fenofibrate caused no further increase. The treatment of BAECs with fenofibrate for 48 h demonstrated a concentration-dependent increase in eNOS protein levels as measured by Western blot analysis. Densitometric analysis indicated that there was a significant increase in eNOS to β-actin ratios after fenofibrate treatment at concentrations of 10,50 and 100 μmol/L(1.80±0.45, 2.70±0.42 and 2.20±0.32 fold of the control, respectively, P<0.01). The significant increase in eNOS protein levels was observed 12 h after treatment and lasted for 48 h. CONCLUSION: PPARα activator fenofibrate, enhances endothelial NO production by directly upregulating eNOS expression and activity.  相似文献

AIM: To observe the direct effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on secretion of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide by human umbilical vein endothelial cell and cell viability of the secretor. METHODS: The third passage of human umbilical vein endothelial cells were incubated with different concentrations of LPS (1 g/L, 100 mg/L, 10 mg/L, 1 mg/L, 100 μg/L, 10 μg/L, 1 μg/L) for 6 hours, and the culture supernatants were collected. The concentrations of ET-1 were determined by radioimmunoassay, the concentrations of nitric oxide were determined using Greiss's method. The viabilities of cells were measured by MTT method. RESULTS: The concentration of ET-1 (pg/L) of normal control group was 251.64±10.90. The concentrations of ET-1 (pg/L) of LPS treated groups were 220.85±19.14, 278.67±15.45, 306.40±11.60, 312.87±33.50, 324.38±17.02, 291.49±14.30, 282.11±13.38, respectively (each group compared with normal control group, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The concentration of NOx (μmol/L) of normal control group was 629.46±13.36. The concentrations of NOx (μmol/L) of LPS treated groups were 732.58±23.21, 669.87±9.32, 661.24±16.80, 650.33±13.24, 606.59±12.94, 626.75±9.83, 627.61±5.61, respectively (each group compared with normal control group, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The viabilities of endothelial cells of LPS treated groups were 74%, 81%, 86%, 88%,91%, 93%, 93%, respectively. CONCLUSION: LPS of lower concentrations had no significantly lethal effect on human umbilical vein endothelial cells, but enhanced secretion of ET-1 and inhibited NO production. LPS in higher concentrations showed significant lethal effect on human umbilical vein endothelial cells, inhibited secretion of ET-1 and enhanced NO production.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the effects of nicotine on nitric oxide (NO), nitric oxide synthase (NOS), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential and cytokine secretion in human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). METHODS: MSCs were treated with different concentrations of nicotine. The content of NO was detected by nitrate reductase method. The activity of NOS and iNOS was mea-sured by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. ROS and mitochondrial membrane potential were detected by flow cytometry. The levels of intercellular adhesion molecule 1（ICAM-1）, stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1(TIMP-1), transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) were determined by ELISA. RESULTS: At 24 h and 36 h after exposure to nicotine, the levels of NO were significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner. However, at 48 h, the levels of NO in 0.8 g/L group and 1.0 g/L group were lower than that in control group. The activity of NOS and iNOS were significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner. The level of ROS increased, while mitochondrial membrane potential decreased. After nicotine treatment, the secretions of SDF-1, TGF-β1, IGF-I and bFGF declined, while the levels of ICAM-1, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 increased. CONCLUSION: Nicotine may affect the proliferation, adhesion and migration of MSCs by increasing the levels of NO, NOS, iNOS and ROS and the production of ICAM-1, MMP-9 and TIMP-1, and decreasing the mitochondrial membrane potential and the secretion of SDF-1, TGF-β1, IGF-I and bFGF.  相似文献

AIM: To study the protective effect of anti-aging Klotho protein on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with high glucose (HG).METHODS: HUVECs were cultured in vitro, and divided into PBS control group, 5.5 mmol/L glucose group, 33.3 mmol/L glucose group, 0.1 μmol/L Klotho+33.3 mmol/L glucose group, 1 μmol/L Klotho+33.3 mmol/L glucose group, and 10 μmol/L Klotho+33.3 mmol/L glucose group. The viability of the HUVECs was measured by MTT assay. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA), and the activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) in cell culture supernatants were observed. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in HUVECs was analyzed by flow cytometry. The levels of nitric oxide (NO), endothelin (ET-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in HUVEC culture medium were detected by ELISA. The protein expression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in the HUVECs was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with PBS control group, 33.3 mmol/L glucose significantly decreased the HUVEC viability, increased ROS, LDH and MDA levels, reduced the activities of SOD and GSH, decreased the NO secretion, and induced the ET-1 and ICAM-1 secretion and the protein expression of NF-κB in HUVECs. When HUVECs were treated with Klotho protein at different concentrations combined with 33.3 mmol/L glucose, the cell viability was increased significantly, the ROS, LDH and MDA levels were decreased significantly, the antioxidant SOD and GSH activities were significantly increased, the secretion of NO was increased, but ET-1 and ICAM-1 releases and protein expression of NF-κB were significantly reduced.CONCLUSION: Anti-aging Klotho protein promotes the viability of HUVECs treated with HG, reduces the oxidative damage and ROS production, and restores the normal secretory function of HUVECs, thus playing a protective role in vascular endothelial cells through reducing the protein expression of NF-κB.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of dexamethasone (DEX) on differentiation of human osteoblasts (OBs) and osteoclasts (OCs) in vitro.METHODS: The normal human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were stimulated with the inducer mainly containing DEX in vitro. Alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) kit were used to identify the formation of calcium nodules among OBs and ALP levels in OBs,respectively. The levels of ALP were quantified again after the concentration of DEX was changed, and the expression of phosphorylated GSK-3β in OBs was detected by Western blotting. Human bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMs) were induced by exogenous receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) for 14 days. Tartrate-resistant acidic phosphatase staining was used to identity the formation of OCs, and the downstream signaling pathway of RANKL was detected by Western blotting. The le-vel of soluble RANKL(sRANKL) in the supernatants and the expression of RANKL in MSCs were measured by ELISA and Western blotting,respectively,when MSCs were stimulated with different concentrations of DEX for 7 days.RESULTS: Calcium nodules were formed when MSCs were stimulated with DEX at concentration of 0.1 μmol/L. The level of ALP and the protein expression of phospho-GSK-3β in OBs gradually increased by treating the cells with DEX at the concentrations within the range of 0.001-0.1 μmol/L. However, the level of ALP and the protein expression of phospho-GSK-3β were decreased as the concentrations of DEX further increased to the range of 0.1-10 μmol/L. BMMs were differeniated into OCs by exogenous RANKL, and the phosphorylations of IκBα, SPAK/JNK, p38 MAPK and p44/42 MAPK in BMMs increased. When MSCs were stimulated with DEX at the concentrations within 0.001-10 μmol/L, the level of sRANKL in the supernatants and the protein expression of RANKL in MSCs gradually increased, and the level of sRANKL was positively correlated with the concentration of DEX (r=0.821,P<0.05). CONCLUSION: DEX at low concentrations promotes the differentiation of OBs and OCs. DEX at high concentrations only promotes the differentiation of OCs, not that of OBs.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the protective effect of naringin (Nar) on the injury of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by 33 mmol/L high glucose (HG) and to explore its possible mechanisms.METHODS: The injury model was established by treating HUVECs with HG medium for the indicated time (6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h), and then the levels of NO, eNOS and p-eNOS were detected, respectively. The effects of Nar on high glucose-induced endothelial cell injury were observed. HUVECs were treated with Nar at concentrations of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 mg/L for 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h and 48 h. The levels of NO in the supernatants were measured. The effects of Nar on HG-injured HUVECs were explored by treating the cells with 10 μmol/L of LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor, or 0.5 μmol/L of AKT inhibitor Ⅳ, an AKT inhibitor, and then the levels of NO, PI3K, AKT, eNOS and their phosphorylated proteins were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: Nar at concentration of 50 mg/L significantly attenuated the injury of endothelial cells induced by high glucose (P<0.01), and the protective effects of Nar were abolished by pretreating with the inhibitor of PI3K or AKT (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Nar protects endothelial cells against the injury induced by high glucose through PI3K/AKT/eNOS pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the regulatory effect of berberine on the endoplasmic reticulum stress-auto-phagy pathway in human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells. METHODS: Human ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells were cultured in vitro, and berberine at doses of 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 μmol/L were added. After exposure for 12 h, 24 h and 48 h, the viability of the SKOV3 cells was measured by MTT assay. The cells were divided into control group, berberine (50 μmol/L) group, berberine (100 μmol/L) group, and berberine (200 μmol/L) group. After treatment with berberine for 24 h, the effects of berberine on the morphological changes of SKOV3 cells were observed under inverted phase-contrast microscope. The protein expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) and ubiquitin-binding protein p62 was observed by indirect immunofluorescence method under laser confocal microscope. The protein expression of beclin-1,LC3,p62, CCAAT/lenhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) and glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Berberine at 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 μmol/L significantly decreased the viability of SKOV3 cells at 12 h, 24 h and 48 h, and the IC50 values of 12 h, 24 h and 48 h were (764.7±0.3) μmol/L, (231.6±0.1) μmol/L and (96.2±0.1) μmol/L, respectively. Laser confocal microscopy showed that the LC3 and p62 proteins were scattered and the fluorescence intensity was increased, while the point-like aggregation was also observed. Berberine at 200 μmol/L obviously enhanced the co-localization of LC3 and p62 proteins. Compared with control group, the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins GRP78 and CHOP, and autophagy-related proteins beclin-1, LC3 and p62 in berberine (200 μmol/L) group was increased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Berberine may promote endoplasmic reticulum stress in SKOV3 cells by regulating autophagy.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of salvianolic acid B (Sal B) on apoptosis of rat bone mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs) induced by hydrogen peroxide(H2O2). METHODS: BMSCs were incubated with Sal B at the concentration of 1, 10 or 100 μmol/L while treated with lethal concentration of H2O2 (500 μmol/L). The effect of Sal B at different concentrations on the viability of BMSCs was detected by MTT. Flow cytometry were used to determine the protective role of Sal B in apoptosis of BMSCs. The changes of chromatin distribution in BMSCs were observed by Hoechst 33342 staining. The expression of p-ERK1/2 was detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: Sal B protected the BMSCs against H2O2 as the cell viability was increased from (53.60±4.21)% to (85.33±9.08)% or (75.78±6.28)% in a dose-dependent manner. After exposed to H2O2, about 50%-65% BMSCs displayed apoptotic morphology. Treatment with Sal B at the concentrations of 10 and 100 μmol/L reduced the cytotoxic effect of H2O2 on BMSCs to about 32% and 47%, respectively. The results of flow cytometric analysis confirmed the cytoprotective effect of Sal B. This protective effect was concomitant with significant reduction of ROS generation. Moreover, H2O2 time-dependently induced a pronounced increase in ERK1/2 phosphorylation,which was effectively inhibited by Sal B.CONCLUSION: Sal B protects BMSCs against H2O2-induced apoptosis. Sal B may exert its protective effect on BMSCs by triggering intracellular anti-apoptosis mechanism as well as reducing the oxidative stress.  相似文献

AIM：To investigate the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (BKCa) in rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs)．METHODS：BKCa currents in individual PASMCs were recorded by patch-clamp technique in whole-cell configuration．Calcium sparks in PASMCs caused by DHA were recorded by confocal microscopy. RESULTS：DHA activated BKCa . BKCa current densities were (30.5±6.5)pA/pF,(59.4±5.8)pA/pF, (87.2±4.3)pA/pF and (117.3±7.1) pA/pF (P<0.01) with the addition of DHA at concentrations of 0, 0.1, 1 and 10 μmol/L, respectively. Hypoxia inhibited BKCa currents in PASMCs, but this inhibition was reversed by DHA (10 μmol/L). DHA (10 μmol/L) induced an increase in ［Ca2+］i with a maximal increase rate of (71.9±4.1)%. CONCLUSION：DHA activates BKCa in rat PASMCs, leading to the vasodilation of pulmonary arteries.  相似文献

以黄瓜(Cucumis sativus L.)切去初生根的幼苗外植体为试材,研究了乙烯和一氧化氮(NO)对其不定根形成的影响及其相互关系。结果表明,外源乙烯供体乙烯利(Ethrel)可显著促进黄瓜外植体不定根的形成,呈现明显的剂量效应,最适浓度为0.5μmol·L~(-1)。Ethrel和NO共同处理的外植体不定根的数量和根长显著高于Ethrel和NO单独处理,但Ethrel的促进作用可被NO的清除剂c-PTIO、一氧化氮合酶(NOS)抑制剂L-NAME和硝酸还原酶(NR)抑制剂NaN_3所逆转,说明乙烯和NO在黄瓜外植体不定根形成过程中具有协同诱导作用。外源乙烯引起黄瓜外植体内源NO含量的增加,亦提高了植株体内合成NO的NOS和NR酶的活性以及NOS和NR基因的相对表达量。可见,NO在乙烯诱导黄瓜不定根形成的信号途径中起重要作用。  相似文献

AIM：To determine the effect of endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in medullary neurons induced by angiotensin II (Ang II). METHODS：Primary cultured rat medullary neurons were used in the study. Identification of medullary neurons and the co-expression of cystathionine β-synthetase (CBS) were detected by double-labeling immunofluorescence. Medullary neurons were treated with Ang II in the presence or absence of sodium butyrate (NaBu, a CBS agonist; 100 μmol/L, 250 μmol/L and 500 μmol/L). ROS production was measured by dihydroethidium staining. The activity of total superoxide dismutase (SOD) was detected by ELISA. The mRNA expression of CBS was determined by real-time PCR. RESULTS：The medullary neurons in the cultured cells were over 90%. Ang II (1 μmol/L) significantly increased ROS level in the medullary neurons. Ang II inhibited the activity of total SOD in the medullary neurons. CBS was expressed in the medullary neurons. Ang II decreased the mRNA expression of CBS. NaBu (250 μmol/L and 500 μmol/L) inhibited ROS production induced by Ang II with a dose-dependent manner, while NaBu alone had no influence on the ROS level in the medullary neurons. CONCLUSION：Ang II increases the level of ROS in medullary neurons partly by inhibiting the activity of total SOD and the mRNA expression of CBS. Endogenous H2S inhibits the ROS level increased by Ang II in the medullary neurons.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of sevoflurane preconditioning on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO), the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxide(GPx) and catalase(CAT) in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury(IRI). METHODS: Sixty rats were randomly allocated to 8 groups. Following 2% sevoflurane preconditioning for 30 min, the left anterior descending artery was ligated for 30 min and then reperfused for 120 min in vivo. The infarction size of the hearts was measured with the staining of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazoliumchloride. The myocardial apoptotic index was measured by the method of TUNEL. The ROS fluorescent probe dihydroethidium was used for the measurement of ROS. The myocardium was homogenized for the measurement of NO, SOD, GPx and CAT. To evaluate the effects of ROS and NO on the cardioprotection of sevoflurane preconditioning, ROS scavenger N-(2-mercaptopropionyl) glycine (2-MPG) or NOS inhibitor Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) were employed to block their actions. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the production of ROS was induced by sevoflurane preconditioning before ischemia-reperfusion injury (12.0±0.8 vs 2.6±0.5, P<0.05) and decreased after ischemia-reperfusion injury (16.2 ±0.9 vs 24.9±1.3, P<0.05). 2-MPG decreased the elevation of ROS caused by sevoflurane preconditioning before ischemia-reperfusion injury (5.1±0.7 vs 12.0±0.8, P<0.05). No difference of ROS production between treating with 2-MPG+Sevo+IRI and with IRI (24.9±1.4 vs 24.9±1.3, P>0.05) was observed. Compared with control group, sevoflurane preconditioning also induced the generation of NO (34.5±3.2 vs 15.9±1.4, P<0.05) and the activity of SOD(1.5±0.5 vs 0.6±0.2, P<0.05), GPx(22.8±2.5 vs 12.7±2.2, P<0.05) and CAT(15.5±1.8 vs 11.2±1.4, P<0.05). 2-MPG blocked the increase in NO production and inhibited the activity of SOD,GPx,CAT. L-NAME also attenuated the activity of SOD,GPx,CAT. CONCLUSION: Sevoflurane preconditioning protects the rat heart against ischemia-reperfusion injury by reducing the infarction size and apoptosis. Production of ROS at sub-injury dose induced by sevoflurane preconditioning stimulates the myocardium to create SOD,GPx,CAT and NO, thus inhibiting the further formation of ROS and protecting the heart under the condition of ischemia-reperfusion.  相似文献

AIM:To evaluate effects of inhaled nitric oxide(iNO) on adhesion molecule CD11b expression on lung neutrophils in experimental meconium aspiration syndrome(MAS) rabbits treated with conventional mechanical ventilation under room air or 100%O2. METHODS:Animals were randomly allocated to 8 groups(n=48) of 6 each: two MAS model groups(under room air or 100%O2 without iNO treatment), 6 treatment groups were treated with continuous NO inhalation at a dose of 0.2×10-6mol/L, 0.33×10-6mol/L or 0.67×10-6mol/L respectively for 12 hours under room air or 100%O2. Mean systemic arterial pressure(SAP) and methemoglobin (MeHb) were performed at basement time, 0, 2, 4, 12 hours. Expression of CD11b on neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) was detected with flow cytometry. RESULTS:SAP, MeHb at different time among different groups were within the normal scale. CD11b expression on the neutrophils in the BALF significantly decreased in groups of inhalation 0.33×10-6 mol/L or 0.67×10-6 mol/L NO, compared with the two MAS model groups. (x±s: under 21%O2, 0.33×10-6 mol/L NO, 121±20 υs 392±204; 0.67×10-6 mol/L NO, 112±30 υs 392±204;under 100%O2, 0.33×10-6 mol/L NO, 113±24υs293±65; 0.67×10-6 mol/L 102±114 υs293±65, P<0.05). 0.2×10-6mol/L NO inhalation did no effect on CD11b expression. (x±s:21%O2, 190±101 υs 392±204; 100%O2, 222±85 υs 293±65; P>0.05). No statistic difference was observed between groups inhaled 0.33×10-6 mol/L NO and 0.67×10-6mol/L NO.

AIM:To investigate the effect of shikonin on the apoptosis and oxidative stress induced by high concentration of glucose in vascular endothelial cells. METHODS:Rat thoracic aortic endothelial cells were randomly divided into 5 groups:normal control group (with glucose at concentration of 5.5 mmol/L in cell culture medium), high glucose group (with glucose at concentration of 33 mmol/L in cell culture medium), high glucose+low shikonin group (with glucose at concentration of 33 mmol/L and shikonin at concentration of 0.1 μmol/L in cell culture medium), high glucose+medium shikonin group (with glucose at concentration of 33 mmol/L and shikonin at concentration of 1 μmol/L in cell culture medium), and high glucose+high shikonin group (with glucose at concentration of 33 mmol/L and shikonin at concentration of 10 μmol/L in cell culture medium). After treatments, the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay and cell apoptotic rate was analyzed by flow cytometry. In addition, the status of oxidative stress was evaluated by determining the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). The activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway was determined by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with high glucose group, shikonin reversed high glucose-induced decrease in cell viability and increase in apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner. High concentration of glucose induced high levels of MDA and ROS, while decreased the levels of SOD and GSH-Px. However, after treatment with shikonin, the contents of MDA and ROS were decreased, while the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were increased as compared with high glucose group. Furthermore, the high concentration of glucose up-regulated the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, HO-1 and Nrf2 (nuclear). Compared with high glucose group, the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, HO-1 and Nrf2 (nuclear) were partly decreased after treatment with shikonin. CONCLUSION:Shikonin alleviates high glucose-induced vascular endothelial cell apoptosis. Its mechanism may be related to activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and down-regulation of oxidative stress in vascular endothelial cells.  相似文献

AIM:To observe the effects of nicotine on systolic and diastolic function of rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). METHODS:The primary rat aortic VSMCs were cultured in vitro. After exposed to nicotine at different concentrations for 24 h, the cytoskeleton of the VSMCs was stained with rhodamine-phalloidin,the photographs of the VSMCs in different experimental groups were taken and the surface area was measured to reflect the cell contractility. Collagen contraction method was also used to determine the effect of nicotine on the contractility of rat aortic VSMCs. RESULTS:The primary rat aortic VSMCs were successfully cultured. After the VSMCs were treated with nicotine (0.1 μmol/L, 1 μmol/L, 10 μmol/L and 100 μmol/L) for 24 h, the skeleton showed a significant contraction, and the cell plate shape was obviously enhanced in a concentration-dependent manner. The results showed that 10 μmol/L was the optimal concentration of nicotine for VSMCs (P<0.01). The collagen contraction method also showed that 10 μmol/L nicotine contracted the rat aortic VSMCs. With the increase in the nicotine action time, the maximum contraction effect was observed at 60 min (P<0.01). CONCLUSION:Nicotine has a strong contractile effect on VSMCs of rat aorta, and its contractile effect is dependent on concentration and time.  相似文献
