To investigate the impact of HDL on oxLDL-induced apoptosis of endothelial cells and relevant mechanisms.
Human umbilical venous endothelial cells (ECV-304) were exposed to oxLDL or oxLDL + HDL. The apoptosis of the endothelial cells was checked by the Flow cytometry and DNA electrophoresis, while caspase-3 activity was meaured simultaneously.
The apoptosis rates induced by 100 microg/ml and 200 microg/ml of oxLDL were 28.40 + 5.30% and 34.7 +/- 4.64%, with caspase-3 activity of 166. 01 +/- 16.44 and 263.74 +/- 46.62 pmol/(min x mg pro), respectively. The DNA electrophoresis showed typical ladders. With exposure to HDL (200 mixrog/ml), the above apoptosis rates dropped to 8.06 +/- 2.35% and 9.40 +/- 2.58% respectively. There were no apoptotic ladders while the caspase-3 activities were significantly reduced (67.73 +/- 14.83 and 111.26 +/- 27.13 pmol/(min x mg pro).
HDL can significantly reduce the apoptosis of cultured endothelial cells induced by oxLDL. This effect may be mediated via suppression of caspase-3 activity.
探讨高密度脂蛋白(HDL)对氧化型低密度脂蛋白(oxLDL)诱导的内皮细胞凋亡的影响及其相关机制。
将人脐静脉内皮细胞(ECV-304)暴露于oxLDL或oxLDL + HDL中。通过流式细胞术和DNA电泳检测内皮细胞的凋亡情况,同时测定半胱天冬酶-3(caspase-3)活性。
100μg/ml和200μg/ml的oxLDL诱导的凋亡率分别为28.40 + 5.30%和34.7 +/- 4.64%,caspase-3活性分别为166.01 +/- 16.44和263.74 +/- 46.62 pmol/(min x mg蛋白)。DNA电泳显示典型的梯状条带。当加入HDL(200μg/ml)后,上述凋亡率分别降至8.06 +/- 2.35%和9.40 +/- 2.58%。此时无凋亡梯状条带,且caspase-3活性显著降低(67.73 +/- 14.83和111.26 +/- 27.13 pmol/(min x mg蛋白)。
HDL可显著降低oxLDL诱导的培养内皮细胞凋亡。这种作用可能是通过抑制caspase-3活性介导的。
