To determine the effects of Tongxinluo on cell viability and tissue factor (TF) in AngII induced vascular endothelial cells and to investigate its mechanism.
AngII(10(-6)mol/L) was added to human vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) culture media alone or with various concentration of Tongxinluo drug containing plasma (5%,10%, and 20%) added 30 minutes before AngII. Cell viability was evaluated after 24-hour incubation with AngII in a dose manner. TF, AngII type 1 receptor (AT(1)) mRNA, NO synthase (NOS) and NO were observed after 24-hour incubation with AngII. In addition, NOS inhibitor nomega-nitro-larginine (L-NAME) was added 30 minutes before Tongxinluo and AngII. Cell viability, TF, AT(1)mRNA, the level of NOS and NO were evaluated after 24-hour incubation with Tongxinluo and AngII.
Tongxinluo significantly improved AngII induced endothelial cell viability and the effect was the most obvious at 10%. Tongxinluo (10%) decreased the TF and AT(1) mRNA while increased the NOS and NO levels. L-NAME obviously inhibited the effects of Tongxinluo on cell viability, TF, AT(1) mRNA, and NOS and NO levels.
Up-regulating NOS-NO signaling may be the mechanism of Tongxinluo on cell viability and TF in AngII induced vacular endothelial cells.
探讨通心络对血管紧张素II(AngII)诱导的血管内皮细胞活力及组织因子(TF)的影响,并研究其作用机制。
将AngII(10(-6)mol/L)单独加入人血管内皮细胞(HUVECs)培养基中,或在加入AngII前30分钟加入不同浓度(5%、10%和20%)含通心络药物的血浆。与AngII孵育24小时后,以剂量方式评估细胞活力。与AngII孵育24小时后,观察TF、血管紧张素II 1型受体(AT(1))mRNA、一氧化氮合酶(NOS)和一氧化氮(NO)。此外,在加入通心络和AngII前30分钟加入NOS抑制剂ω-硝基-L-精氨酸(L-NAME)。与通心络和AngII孵育24小时后,评估细胞活力、TF、AT(1)mRNA、NOS水平和NO水平。
通心络显著改善了AngII诱导的内皮细胞活力,10%浓度时效果最明显。通心络(10%)降低了TF和AT(1) mRNA水平,同时提高了NOS和NO水平。L-NAME明显抑制了通心络对细胞活力、TF、AT(1) mRNA、NOS水平和NO水平的影响。
上调NOS-NO信号通路可能是通心络改善AngII诱导的血管内皮细胞活力及TF水平的作用机制。
