Statins and therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) have been shown to ameliorate angiogenesis on ischemic hindlimb animals and promote human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) tube formation and proliferation. Here, we evaluate the therapeutic effect of TUS in combination with atorvastatin (Ator) therapy on angiogenesis in hindlimb ischemia and HUVECs. After subjecting excision of the left femoral artery, all mice were randomly distributed to one of four groups: Control; Ator treated mice (Ator); TUS treated mice (TUS); and Ator plus TUS treated mice (Ator+TUS). At day 14 post-surgery, the Ator plus TUS treatment cohort had the greatest blood perfusion, accompanied by elevated capillary density. In vitro, Ator plus TUS augmented tube formation, migration and proliferative capacities of HUVECs. Additionally, the united administration upregulated expression of angiogenic factors phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), phosphorylated endothelial nitric oxide synthase (p-eNOS), as well as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), both in vivo and in vitro. These benefits could be blocked by either phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) or eNOS inhibitor. Our data indicated that the united administration could significantly enhance ischemia-mediated angiogenesis and exert a protective effect against ischemic/hypoxia induced damage among HUVECs through up-regulating VEGF expression and activating the PI3K-Akt-eNOS pathway.
他汀类药物和治疗性超声(TUS)已被证明可改善缺血后肢动物的血管生成,并促进人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVECs)的管腔形成和增殖。在此,我们评估TUS联合阿托伐他汀(Ator)治疗对后肢缺血和HUVECs血管生成的治疗效果。在切除左股动脉后,将所有小鼠随机分为四组之一:对照组;阿托伐他汀治疗组(Ator);治疗性超声治疗组(TUS);阿托伐他汀加治疗性超声治疗组(Ator+TUS)。术后第14天,阿托伐他汀加治疗性超声治疗组的血流灌注最大,同时毛细血管密度升高。在体外,阿托伐他汀加治疗性超声增强了HUVECs的管腔形成、迁移和增殖能力。此外,联合给药在体内和体外均上调了血管生成因子磷酸化Akt(p-Akt)、磷酸化内皮型一氧化氮合酶(p-eNOS)以及血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)的表达。这些益处可被磷酸肌醇3-激酶(PI3K)或eNOS抑制剂阻断。我们的数据表明,联合给药可通过上调VEGF表达并激活PI3K-Akt-eNOS途径,显著增强缺血介导的血管生成,并对HUVECs缺血/缺氧诱导的损伤发挥保护作用。
