Hyperglycemia is the major cause of diabetic angiopathy. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of KB-R7943, an inhibitor of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) on cell growth and function of human "diabetic" endothelial cells (EC). Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression and NCX activity were determined after EC were exposed to high glucose in the absence and presence of KB-R7943. Coincubation of EC with high glucose for 24 h resulted in a significant increase of monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion and the expression of ICAM-1. These effects were abolished by KB-R7943 and KB-R7943 significantly decreased the activation of NCX induced by high glucose. These findings suggested that KB-R7943 may play a role in inhibiting expression of adhesion molecules by inhibiting the reverse activation of NCX.
高血糖是糖尿病血管病变的主要原因。我们的研究目的是评估 Na+/Ca2+ 交换体(NCX)抑制剂 KB-R7943 对人“糖尿病”内皮细胞(EC)生长和功能的影响。在不存在和存在 KB-R7943 的情况下,将 EC 暴露于高葡萄糖中后,测定细胞间黏附分子-1(ICAM-1)表达和 NCX 活性。EC 与高葡萄糖共孵育 24 小时会导致单核细胞-内皮细胞黏附显著增加和 ICAM-1 表达增加。这些作用被 KB-R7943 消除,并且 KB-R7943 显著降低了高葡萄糖诱导的 NCX 的激活。这些发现表明,KB-R7943 可能通过抑制 NCX 的反向激活在抑制黏附分子的表达中发挥作用。
