To investigate the effect of Iptakalim (Ipt) preventing injury of endothelial microvesicles (EMVs) derived from hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-treated HUVECs on the relaxation of rat thoracic aortic rings and explore the underlying mechanism.
H/R injury model was established to release H/R-EMVs from HUVECs. H/R-EMVs from HUVECs were isolated by ultracentrifugation from the conditioned culture medium. H/R-EMVs were characterized by using Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). Thoracic aortic rings of rats were incubated with 10-10 mol/L Ipt and co-cultured with 10 g/ml H/R-EMVs for 4 hours, and their endothelium-dependent relaxation in response to acetylcholine (ACh) was recorded in vitro. The nitric oxide (NO) production of ACh-treated rat thoracic aortic rings was measured by using Griess reagent. The expression of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), phosphorylated eNOS (p-eNOS, Ser-1177), serine/threonine kinas (Akt) and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt, Ser-473) in the thoracic aortic rings of rats was detected by Western blotting.
H/R-EMVs were induced by H/R-treated HUVECs and isolated by ultracentrifugation. The isolated H/R-EMVs subjected to TEM revealed small, rounded vesicles (100-1 000 nm) surrounded by a membrane. H/R-EMVs impaired relaxation induced by ACh of rat thoracic aortic rings significantly. Compared with H/R-EMVs treatment individually, relaxation and NO production of rat thoracic aortic rings were increased by Ipt treatment in a concentration-dependent manner (<0.05, <0.01). The expression of total eNOS (t-eNOS) and total Akt (t-Akt) was not affected by Ipt or H/R-EMVs. However, the expression of p-eNOS and p-Akt increased after treated with Ipt (<0.01).
Based on H/R-EMVs treatment, ACh induced endothelium-dependent relaxation of rat thoracic aortic rings was ameliorated by Ipt in a concentration-dependent manner. The mechanisms involved the increase in NO production, p-eNOS and p-Akt expression.
研究埃他卡林(Ipt)对缺氧/复氧(H/R)处理的人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVECs)来源的内皮微泡(EMVs)损伤大鼠胸主动脉环舒张功能的影响,并探讨其潜在机制。
建立H/R损伤模型以从HUVECs释放H/R-EMVs。通过超速离心从条件培养基中分离HUVECs来源的H/R-EMVs。使用透射电子显微镜(TEM)对H/R-EMVs进行表征。将大鼠胸主动脉环与10-10 mol/L Ipt孵育,并与10 μg/ml H/R-EMVs共培养4小时,然后在体外记录其对乙酰胆碱(ACh)的内皮依赖性舒张反应。使用Griess试剂测量ACh处理的大鼠胸主动脉环中一氧化氮(NO)的产生。通过蛋白质免疫印迹法检测大鼠胸主动脉环中内皮型一氧化氮合酶(eNOS)、磷酸化eNOS(p-eNOS,Ser-1177)、丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶(Akt)和磷酸化Akt(p-Akt,Ser-473)的表达。
H/R处理的HUVECs诱导产生H/R-EMVs,并通过超速离心分离。经TEM观察,分离出的H/R-EMVs呈现为被膜包围的小圆形囊泡(100-1000 nm)。H/R-EMVs显著损害大鼠胸主动脉环由ACh诱导的舒张。与单独的H/R-EMVs处理相比,Ipt处理可使大鼠胸主动脉环的舒张和NO产生呈浓度依赖性增加(<0.05,<0.01)。Ipt或H/R-EMVs对总eNOS(t-eNOS)和总Akt(t-Akt)的表达无影响。然而,Ipt处理后p-eNOS和p-Akt的表达增加(<0.01)。
基于H/R-EMVs处理,Ipt可浓度依赖性改善ACh诱导的大鼠胸主动脉环内皮依赖性舒张。其机制涉及NO产生增加以及p-eNOS和p-Akt表达上调。
