AIM:To investigate the protective effect of Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) injured by homocysteine (Hcy) and its mechanism. METHODS:HUVECs cultured in vitro were divided into 4 groups:control group, APS group[APS (200 mg/L) treatment for 24 h], Hcy group[Hcy (1 mmol/L) treatment for 24 h], and Hcy+APS group[Hcy (1 mmol/L) and APS (200 mg/L) co-treatment for 24 h]. The cell viability were measured by MTT assay. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and superoxidase dismutase (SOD), and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in HUVECs were detected by the commercial kits. The mRNA expression of SOD1, catalase (CAT) and NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) was detected by RT-qPCR. The protein levels of AMP-activated protein kinase α (AMPKα) and phosphorylated AMPKα (p-AMPKα) were determined by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with control group, the cell viability, the activity of SOD, and the mRNA expression of SOD1 and CAT in the HUVECs were decreased, but the activity of LDH, the content of MDA, and the mRNA expression of NOX2 were increased significantly in Hcy group(P<0.05). APS inhibited the decrease in cell viability, and the increases in LDH acti-vity and MDA content induced by Hcy. APS increased SOD activity and the mRNA expression of SOD1 and CAT, but reduced the mRNA expression of NOX2. Compound C, an AMPK inhibitor, reduced the protective effect of APS on HUVECs injured by Hcy. CONCLUSION:APS protects HUVECs from Hcy-induced injury via AMPK signaling pathway to regulate intracellular oxidative stress. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of glycated serum albumin (GSA) on the expression of monocyte chemoattratant protein-1 (MCP-1) in endothelial cells.METHODS: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured with GSA at different concentrations in the presence or absence of glycosylation-product inhibitor aminoguanidine (AG) and anti-oxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC). The expression of MCP-1 was evaluated by the methods of immunocytochemistry and sandwich ELISA.Malondialdehyde(MDA) content and superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity were determined by the technique of thiobarbituric acid(TBA) and xanthine oxidase(XOD),respectively. RESULTS: GSA stimulated HUVECs to produce and release MCP-1. After HUVECs were treated with 50 mg/L GSA, the expression of MCP-1 at 4 h, 8 h and 12 h was 1.3, 1.9 and 2.8 folds higher than that in control group (P<0.01), respectiuely.The significant difference among the experiment groups (P<0.01) was observed, indicating that GSA took effect in a concentration-dependent manner. The release of MCP-1 in cultured supernatants in the experiment groups with 3 different concentrations of GSA was 1.6, 2.4 and 3.0 folds as much as that in control group (P<0.01), and the significant difference among the experiment groups (P<0.01) was also observed. GSA decreased the activity of SOD (P<0.05) and increased the content of MDA (P<0.01). AG and NAC obviously inhibited the upregulation of MCP-1 expression in HUVECs by GSA (P<0.01). NAC also inhibited the effect of GSA on SOD activity and MDA content in HUVECs (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: GSA stimulates the expression of MCP-1 by inducing oxidative stress in endothelial cells. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effects of phytoestrogen α-zearalanol (ZAL) on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury and mechanism involved in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). METHODS:HUVECs were exposed to hypoxia for 3 hours and then reoxygenation 1 hour. ZAL or 17β-estradiol (E2) at concentrations of 10-9-10-6 mol/L were pretreated before hypoxia. The survival rate of HUVECs was detected by MTT. Either the activities of LDH and SOD or the level of MDA in supernatant was detected by spectrophotometry. RESULTS:The survival rate of HUVECs and the activity of SOD were significantly decreased (P<0.01), while the activity of LDH and the level of MDA were significantly increased (P<0.01) after H/R. These changes were reversed by pretreatment with ZAL or E2, and there was no significant difference between their effects in the same dose of ZAL and E2. CONCLUSION:These results suggest that phytoestrogen ZAL protects HUVECs from H/R injury by inhibiting the oxidative stress, which was similar to E2. 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 study effect of the Bushen Ningxin decoction, a Chinese medicine, on the adherence of monocytes to endothelial cells and its mechanism. METHODS: Using cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) as target cells, oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) was added to the endothelial cell culture to prepare the model of human endothelial cell injury. The serum of rabbits having been treated with Bushen Ningxin decoction was added to trial architecture, the adherence of monocyte-like cell line U937 to HUVECs was analyzed using Rose Bengal staining. In addition, the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1) and E-selectin in HUVECs was measured by flow cytometry. RESULTS: Treatment of HUVEC with ox-LDL (100 mg/L) for 24 hours significantly increased adhesion of U937 to HUVECs. If serum of the animal treated with Bushen Ningxin decoction was added to trial architecture, the adhesion decreased significantly. The flow cytometry analysis showed that ox-LDL could induce the expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin in HUVECs. Serum of the animal treated with Bushen Ningxin decoction significantly decreased the expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin in HUVECs. CONCLUSION: The Bushen Ningxin Chinese herb-containing serum has an inhibitory effect on the adherence of monocytes to endothelial cells, probably by way of down-regulating the expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E -selectin in endothelial cells. 相似文献

AIM: To study the effects of exogenous spermine on human umbilical veins endotheliocytes (HUVECs) and to explore its possible mechanism. METHODS: The serial subculture of HUVECs was used to investigate the effect of exogenous spermine with different concentrations (50 μmol/L-5 mmol/L) on HUVECs in different times (2 h, 4 h). The morphological changes of HUVECs (by inverted microscope and electron microscope), the cell viability, the level of MDA and activity of SOD were observed. RESULTS: Compared to normal control group, no change of all index detected in the group with spermine (50 μmol/L) was observed (P>0.05). Spermine injured HUVECs in a concentration-dependent manner. After adding spermine for 2 h and 4 h, it was observed that cellular injury in 4 h group was more serious than that in 2 h group. The injury of HUVECs caused by exogenous spermine was characterized by decrease in cellular viability and activity of SOD, ultrastructural injury, increase in MDA level. CONCLUSION: Exogenous spermine induces the injury of HUVECs in concentration and time-dependent manners. Its mechanisms may be related to lipid peroxidation induced by increase in the production of oxygen free radical. 相似文献

AIM: To observe the function and morphological change of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and composite salviae dropping pills (DSP). METHODS: HUVECs were cultured and incubated within 10 mg/L LPS for 12 hours. Different final concentrations of composite salviae dropping pills (1 g/L, 0.5 g/L, 0.25 g/L, 0.1 g/L) were added before and after LPS treatment. Cell viability, NO, NOS, ET-1 and intracellular calcium were measured. The cells were observed under inverted microscope, inverted phase contrast microscope, laser confocal scanning microscopy and transmission electron microscope. RESULTS: When given after LPS treatment, different final concentrations of composite salviae dropping pills played a protective role (P<0.05), and the concentration of 0.5 g/L was the most effective (P<0.01). When given before LPS treatment, 0.5 g/L and 0.25 g/L of composite salviae dropping pills protected the human vascular endothelial cells (P<0.05), but 1 g/L and 0.1 g/L didn't play a protective role (P>0.05). The HUVECs injured by LPS underwent apparent morphological change after treatment with composite salviae dropping pills. CONCLUSION: Composite salviae dropping pills have an evident protective effect on human umbilical vein endothelial cells exposed to LPS. 相似文献

AIM: To observe the effects of oxygen free radical (OFR) and captopril on the level of asymmetric NG, NG-dimethyl-L-arginine (ADMA) in human vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs).METHODS: HUVECs of 3-6 th passage, cultured with modified Jaffes’ method, were used in the experiment and divided into three groups: (1)Cells cultured with equivalence of DMEM medium as control; (2)OFR intervention groups, OFR at concentrations of 0.01 mmol/L, or 0.1 mmol/L, respectively, were added to the cell culture; (3)Drug intervention groups: the cell culture was treated with 0.1 mmol/L of OFR combined with 50 mg/L or 100 mg/L of captopril, respectively. Concentrations of ADMA, L-arginine, nitric oxide(NO), endothelin(ET) and the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme(ACE) in conditioned medium were measured after 24 h exposure. RESULTS: Concentrations of ADMA, ET and the activity of ACE were increased, while the amount of NO decreased in OFR intervention groups compared with control group. After treatment with captopril, ADMA, ET concentrations and the activity of ACE were decreased, while the amount of NO increased, but the level of L-arginine had no obvious change. CONCLUSIONS: OFR induces endothelial dysfunction through increasing ADMA concentration, while captopril relieves endothelial dysfunction induced by ox-LDL through decreasing ADMA concentration. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) on the expression of gap junction protein connexin43 in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro. METHODS: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells cultured in normal condition were divided into blank control group, 50 mg/L,100 mg/L and 200 mg/L ox-LDL intervention groups. The mRNA expression of connexin43 in cultured HUVECs was detected with RT-PCR method; while the protein level of connexin43 was determined by the method of immunocytochemistry in the control and 100 mg/L ox-LDL intervention groups 24 h after ox-LDL was given. RESULTS: Different concentrations (50 mg/L, 100 mg/L, 200 mg/L) of ox-LDL up-regulated mRNA expression of connexin43 in cultured HUVECs after 24 h intervention (P<0.01). The protein level of connexin43 in cultured HUVECs intervened with 100 mg/L Ox-LDL for 24 h was up-regulated as compared to the control cells (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Ox-LDL may up-regulate the expression of connexin43 at mRNA and protein levels in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells within short time, indicating that connexin43 plays an important role in the pro-atherosclerotic effect of Ox-LDL. 相似文献

AIM：To explore the effect of hydrogen sulfide on the senescence of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by high glucose. METHODS：Senescence model was established by treating HUVECs with 33 mmol/L glucose for 48 h. The parameters were detected to demonstrate the effect of hydrogen sulfide on senescence and the mechanism involved was also investigated. RESULTS：In the cells treated with high glucose, the proliferation was attenuated with a higher number of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) positive cells, and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) protein expression, malondialdehyde (MDA) production and NF-κB p65 activity were increased significantly, but the expression of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) was decreased. However, the cell number and SOD1 expression were increased, and the number of SA-β-Gal positive cells, PAI-1 protein expression, MDA production and the activity of NF-κB p65 were decreased after sodium hydrosulfide (100 and 200 μmol/L) treatment.CONCLUSION：Exo-genous hydrogen sulfide prevents HUVECs against high glucose-induced senescence by suppressing oxidative stress and NF-κB p65 activity. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect of platelet inhibitor from Agkistrodon halys venom (AHV-PI) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) injury in vitro, and to explore its mechanism. METHODS:Cultured HUVECs were induced inflammatory injury by LPS (1 mg/L). The experiment was divided into blank control group, LPS group, AHV-PI group and AHV-PI+LPS group. The viability of HUVECs was measured by MTT assay. The morphological changes of HUVECs were observed under inverted microscope. The optimum concentration of AHV-PI at 5 mg/L was selected. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis of HUVECs. Immunohistochemical method was used to observe the expression of tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator indhibitor-1 (PAI-1) of HUVECs. ELISA was used to detect the concentrations of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and tissue factor (TF) in the supernatant. The activation and translocation of NF-κB subunit p65 were observed by immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS:The HUVECs were spindle shaped, the ratio of length to width was increased, the cells were fibroblast-like, and granular substance appeared in the cytoplasm in LPS group. The viability and morphological changes of HUVECs were not significantly affected as treated with AHV-PI at concentration of 0~5 mg/L, but the viability of HUVECs induced by LPS was inhibited and the morphological changes were alleviated. Compared with the blank control group, the levels of TF and ICAM-1 in the supernatant increased, and the expression of t-PA and PAI-1 in the HUVECs was decreased in LPS group. Compared with the LPS group, the contents of TF and ICAM-1 in the supernatant were significantly decreased, the expression of t-PA and PAI-1 in the HUVECs was increased and the expression of nucleus NF-κB p65 was decreased in AHV-PI+LPS group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:AHV-PI reduces HUVECs damage. The protective mechanism is related to the inhibition of cytokine secretion and NF-κB activation. 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 explore the effect of water extract propolis (WEP) from Taishan on apoptosis of human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced in vitro by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). METHODS: HUVECs were collect by digestion-perfusion and cultivated. TNF-α at concentration of 50 μg/L was administrated to induce the apoptosis of HUVECs. After injury, HUVECs were treated with WEP at concentrations of 50, 100, and 200 mg/L, respectively, for 24 h. Apoptosis was evaluated by terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) and flow cytometry (FCM). RESULTS: Apoptosis index in injured group was significantly higher than that in control group, and decreased significantly after treating with WEP at concentrations of 50, 100, and 200 mg/L, respectively (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: WEP may be useful for protection of vascular endothelial cells by inhibiting apoptosis. 相似文献

AIM:To study the effect of activated protein C (APC) at different concentrations on apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).METHODS:The HUVECs were induced by LPS (1.0 mg/L) as apoptotic model that was administered by different concentration of APC (10 μg/L or 50 μg/L). Meanwhile, the control group and induced apoptosis group induced by LPS (1.0 mg/L) stimulation were also set up. The changes of cellular ultrastructures were observed under electron microscope. The DNA ladder and TUNEL fluorescent staining were measured in cells. Annexin-Ⅴ/PI double staining was used to measure the cell apoptosis rate by flow cytometry. Cell survival rate was measured by MTT assay. The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression levels in cells were also measured by Western blotting to reflect the proliferation of the cells.RESULTS:There were significant apoptotic changes in the cells induced by LPS, but the apoptotic changes were reduced and apoptosis rates were decreased in the cells treated with APC. Meanwhile, cell survival rate and the protein levels of PCNA were increased after APC treatment, particularly at the concentration of 50 μg/L, which showed difference when compared with those induced apoptosis group by LPS (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:APC can inhibit HUVECs apoptosis induced by LPS and promote cell proliferation, thus protect the cells from injury. 相似文献

AIM: To study the protective effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on vascular endothelial cells with H2O2-induced oxidative injury. METHODS: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in vitro, and the oxidation injury model of HUVECs was established by treatment with H2O2. The oxidatively injured HUVECs were cultured with different concentrations (1, 10 and 100 μg/L) of BDNF. At the same time, the control group (no injury), PBS treatment after H2O2 injury group and TrkB inhibitor group (with 100 μg/L BDNF and 1: 1 000 TrkB inhibitor) were also set up. The viability of the HUVECs was detected by MTT assay. The levels of LDH, MDA, SOD and GSH were measured. The releases of NO, ET-1 and ICAM-1 were analyzed by ELISA. The changes of ROS production and cell apoptosis were evaluated by flow cytometry. The protein levels of TrkB, p-TrkB, cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with uninjured control group, in H2O2 oxidative injury plus PBS treatment group, the viability of the cells was decreased significantly, the LDH and MDA levels were increased significantly and the activities of SOD and GSH were decreased significantly. The NO secretion was decreased, and the ET-1 and ICAM-1 concentrations were increased significantly. The ROS content and apoptotic rate were increased significantly. The protein levels of cleaved caspase-3 and Bax were increased but Bcl-2 protein expression was decreased significantly. Compared with PBS treatment group, in H2O2-injured HUVECs treated with different concentrations of BDNF, the cell viability was gradually increased, the LDH and MDA levels were decreased and the activities of SOD and GSH were increased gradually. The secretion of NO was increased but ET-1 and ICAM-1 were decreased gradually. The ROS content and apoptotic rate were decreased significantly. The TrkB and p-TrkB levels were significantly increased significantly, the protein expression of cleaved-caspase 3 and Bax was decreased gradually and the Bcl-2 protein expression increased gradually. The role of BDNF was inhibited by TrkB inhibitor. CONCLUSION: BDNF protects HUVECs from oxidative injury by binding with TrkB to activate the BDNF-TrkB signaling pathways. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on protein and mRNA expression of macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs). METHODS: HUVECs were cultured with AGEs at different concentrations for 24 h and at a concentration of 400 mg/L for different time.The levels of mRNA and protein expression of MIP-1α in cultured HUVEC were detected by in situ hybridization and Western blot, respectively. RESULTS: In situ hybridization showed that after exposure of HUVECs to AGEs at different concentrations (100 mg/L, 200 mg/L, 400 mg/L) for 24 h, the average integrated optical density values (18.76±3.17, 26.58±1.61, 34.23±2.25) of MIP-1α mRNA expression in HUVECs were higher than that in control group (13.83±1.24, P0.05). After exposure of HUVECs to AGEs at a concentration of 400 mg/L for 12 h, 24 h and 36 h, the average integrated optical density values of MIP-1α mRNA expression in HUVECs were 22.67±1.46, 34.23±2.25 and 42.28±3.14, higher than that in 0 h group (12.56±1.24, P0.05). Western Blot showed that exposure of HUVECs to AGEs at different concentrations(100 mg/L, 200 mg/L, 400 mg/L) for 24 h resulted in a 1.34-fold, 1.87-fold and 2.46-fold increase in the expression of MIP-1α protein in HUVECs compared with BSA control group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, exposure of HUVECs to AGEs at a concentration of 400 mg/L for 12 h, 24 h and 36 h resulted in a 1.82-fold, 2.71-fold and 3.34-fold increase in MIP-1α protein expression in HUVECs compared with 0 h group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:These data suggest that AGEs could induce a high expression of MIP-1αmRNA and protein in cultured HUVECs in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. 相似文献
