| Abstract: | AIM To observe the effect of Jinlida combined with Tongxinluo on the apoptosis of renal microvascular endothelial cells in the high-glucose environment, and to explore their mechanism of protecting renal microvascular endothelial cells. METHODS The renal microvascular endothelial cells cultured in vitro were divided into control group, high glucose group, Tongxinluo group, Jinlida group, and Tongxinluo+Jinlida group. After intervention for 24 h, CCK-8 assay was used to measurethe cell viability. The apoptotic rate and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level were measured by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to determine the protein levels of protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), phosphorylated PERK (p-PERK), glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), caspase-12 and Bcl-2. RESULTS Compared with control group, the viability of renal microvascular endothelial cells in the high-glucose environment was decreased, the apoptotic rate, the ROS level and the protein levels of PERK, p-PERK, GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12 were increased, while Bcl-2 protein was decreased (P<0.05). In comparison with high glucose group, the viability of renal microvascular endothelial cells in Tongxinluo, Jinlida and Tongxinluo+Jinlida groups was increased to varying degrees, the apoptotic rate, the ROS level and the protein levels of PERK, p-PERK, GRP78, CHOP and caspase-12 were decreased, while Bcl-2 protein was increased (P<0.05). Compared with Jinlida group and Tongxinluo group, the improvement of each index in Jinlida+Tongxinluo group was statistically significant. CONCLUSION Jinlida and Tongxinluo attenuate the damage of renal microvascular endothelial cells in the high-glucose environment, and the mechanism may be related to the reduction of endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis pathway. The combined application of Jinlida and Tongxinluo synergistically enhances the protective effect of the drugs on the renal microvascular endothelial cells. |
