Oxidative stress is a potential factor in the promotion of endothelial dysfunction. In this research, flavonoids (quercetin, luteolin) combined with carotenoids (lycopene, lutein), especially quercetin-lycopene combination (molar ratio 5:1), prevented the oxidative stress in HUVEC cells by reducing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and suppressing the expression of NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4), a major source of ROS production. RNA-seq analysis indicated quercetin-lycopene combination downregulated inflammatory genes induced by HO, such as IL-17 and NF-κB. The expression of NF-κB p65 was activated by HO but inhibited by the quercetin-lycopene combination. Moreover, the quercetin and lycopene combination promoted the thermostability of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and activated SIRT1 deacetyl activity. SIRT1 inhibitor EX-527 attenuated the inhibitory effects of quercetin, lycopene, and their combination on the expression of p65, Nox4 enzyme, and ROS. Quercetin-lycopene combination could interact with SIRT1 to inhibit Nox4 and prevent endothelial oxidative stress, potentially contributing to the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
氧化应激是促进内皮功能障碍的一个潜在因素。在本研究中,类黄酮(槲皮素、木犀草素)与类胡萝卜素(番茄红素、叶黄素)联合使用,尤其是槲皮素 - 番茄红素组合(摩尔比5:1),通过减少活性氧(ROS)并抑制NADPH氧化酶4(Nox4,ROS产生的主要来源)的表达,预防了人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)中的氧化应激。RNA测序分析表明,槲皮素 - 番茄红素组合下调了由血红素加氧酶(HO)诱导的炎症基因,如白细胞介素 - 17(IL - 17)和核因子κB(NF - κB)。NF - κB p65的表达被HO激活,但被槲皮素 - 番茄红素组合抑制。此外,槲皮素和番茄红素组合促进了沉默调节蛋白1(SIRT1)的热稳定性并激活了SIRT1的去乙酰化活性。SIRT1抑制剂EX - 527减弱了槲皮素、番茄红素及其组合对p65、Nox4酶和ROS表达的抑制作用。槲皮素 - 番茄红素组合可与SIRT1相互作用以抑制Nox4并预防内皮氧化应激,这可能有助于预防心血管疾病。
