Although vasculo-protective effects of flavan-3-ols are widely accepted today, their impact on endothelial cell functions and molecular mechanisms of action involved is not completely understood. The aim of this study was to characterize the potential endothelium-protective effects of circulating epicatechin metabolites and to define underlying mechanisms of action by an integrated systems biology approach. Reduced leukocyte rolling over vascular endothelium was observed following epicatechin supplementation in a mouse model of inflammation. Integrative pathway analysis of transcriptome, miRNome and epigenome profiles of endothelial cells exposed to epicatechin metabolites revealed that by acting at these different levels of regulation, metabolites affect cellular pathways involved in endothelial permeability and interaction with immune cells. In-vitro experiments on endothelial cells confirmed that epicatechin metabolites reduce monocyte adhesion and their transendothelial migration. Altogether, our in-vivo and in-vitro results support the outcome of a systems biology based network analysis which suggests that epicatechin metabolites mediate their vasculoprotective effects through dynamic regulation of endothelial cell monocyte adhesion and permeability. This study illustrates complex and multimodal mechanisms of action by which epicatechin modulate endothelial cell integrity.
尽管黄酮醇的血管保护作用已被广泛接受,但人们对其影响内皮细胞功能和涉及的分子作用机制仍不完全了解。本研究旨在通过综合系统生物学方法来描述循环表儿茶素代谢物的潜在内皮保护作用,并确定其作用机制。在炎症小鼠模型中,补充表儿茶素后,观察到白细胞在内皮细胞上滚动减少。对暴露于表儿茶素代谢物的内皮细胞的转录组、miRNome 和表观基因组谱进行综合途径分析表明,代谢物通过在这些不同的调节水平上作用,影响内皮通透性和与免疫细胞相互作用的细胞途径。内皮细胞的体外实验证实,表儿茶素代谢物可减少单核细胞黏附和跨内皮迁移。总之,本研究的体内和体外结果支持基于系统生物学的网络分析的结果,即表儿茶素代谢物通过动态调节内皮细胞单核细胞黏附和通透性来介导其血管保护作用。该研究说明了表儿茶素调节内皮细胞完整性的复杂和多模式作用机制。
