Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is an antioxidant dietary factor. We investigated the effects of CGA on endothelial cell dysfunction in diabetic mice and the mechanistic role of nuclear factor erythroid-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in the antioxidant effect of CGA.
Diabetic (db/db) mice were fed normal chow or chow containing 0.02% CGA for 12 weeks. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and mouse aortas were treated with normal or high glucose.
CGA treatment induced upregulation of Nrf2 in HUVECs in a dose-dependent manner. CGA pretreatment prevented reactive oxygen species generation and preserved nitric oxide bioavailability in HUVECs and aortas from wild-type but not Nrf2 mice. CGA improved endothelium-dependent relaxation in high glucose-treated aortas from wild-type and db/db mice, but not Nrf2 mice. Dietary CGA improved endothelium-dependent relaxation in db/db mice.
CGA ameliorates endothelial dysfunction in diabetic mice through activation of the Nrf2 anti-oxidative pathway.
绿原酸(CGA)是一种具有抗氧化作用的膳食因子。我们研究了CGA对糖尿病小鼠内皮细胞功能障碍的影响以及核因子红系相关因子2(Nrf2)在CGA抗氧化作用中的机制性作用。
将糖尿病(db/db)小鼠分为两组,分别喂食普通饲料或含0.02% CGA的饲料,持续12周。用人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVECs)和小鼠主动脉进行正常或高糖处理。
CGA处理以剂量依赖的方式诱导HUVECs中Nrf2的上调。CGA预处理可防止野生型而非Nrf2小鼠的HUVECs和主动脉中活性氧的产生,并保留一氧化氮的生物利用度。CGA改善了野生型和db/db小鼠高糖处理主动脉中的内皮依赖性舒张,但对Nrf2小鼠无效。膳食CGA改善了db/db小鼠的内皮依赖性舒张。
CGA通过激活Nrf2抗氧化途径改善糖尿病小鼠的内皮功能障碍。
