To understand the mechanisms underlying the regulating dyslipidemia action of Chinese propolis and Brazilian green propolis, we investigated their effects on phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C (PC-PLC) activity and annexin a7 (ANXA7) level which play crucial roles in the control of the progress of atherosclerosis. Furthermore, active oxygen species (ROS) levels, nuclear factor-KappaB p65 (NF- κ B p65), and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were also investigated in oxidized-LDL- (ox-LDL-) stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Our data indicated that the treatment of both types of propolis 12.5 μ g/mL significantly increased cell viability and attenuated apoptosis rate, increased ANXA7 level, and decreased PC-PLC activity. Both types of propolis also inhibited ROS generation as well as the subsequent MMP collapse, and NF- κ B p65 activation induced by ox-LDL in HUVECs. Our results also indicated that Chinese propolis and Brazilian green propolis had similar biological activities and prevented ox-LDL induced cellular dysfunction in HUVECs.
为了了解中国蜂胶和巴西绿蜂胶调节血脂异常的作用机制,我们研究了它们对磷脂酰胆碱特异性磷脂酶 C(PC-PLC)活性和膜联蛋白 A7(ANXA7)水平的影响,这两者在控制动脉粥样硬化进展中起着至关重要的作用。此外,我们还研究了氧化型低密度脂蛋白(ox-LDL)刺激的人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)中的活性氧(ROS)水平、核因子-KappaB p65(NF- κ B p65)和线粒体膜电位(MMP)。我们的数据表明,两种类型的蜂胶 12.5μg/ml 处理均能显著提高细胞活力,降低细胞凋亡率,增加 ANXA7 水平,降低 PC-PLC 活性。两种蜂胶还能抑制 ROS 的产生以及随后的 MMP 崩溃,并抑制 ox-LDL 诱导的 HUVEC 中 NF- κ B p65 的激活。我们的结果还表明,中国蜂胶和巴西绿蜂胶具有相似的生物学活性,可防止 ox-LDL 诱导的 HUVEC 细胞功能障碍。
