Effect of Xinji Erkang on Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells in Jury Induced by Angiotensin Ⅱ
Objective: To investigate the effect of Xinji Erkang (XJEK) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) injury induced by angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ). Method: HUVECs were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into 7 groups as follows:control group
AngⅡ (1×10-5 mol · L-1) group
and AngⅡ (1×10-5 mol · L-1)+XJEK groups (0.1
0.2
0.4
0.8
1.6 g · L-1). Thiazole blue (MTT) assay was used to examine HUVEC viability. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the intracellular free calcium concentration were measured by flow cytometry and Calcium Imager respectively. The content of nitric oxide (NO)
malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were detected by colorimetric and TBA analysis. Western blot was applied to determine the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) protein. Result: Compared with the control group
the Ang Ⅱ group showed significant reduction in endothelial cell vitality
NO release and eNOS protein expression
and significant increase in MDA and ROS content and Ca2+ concentration in endothelial cell cytoplasm (P<0.05
P<0.01). Compared with the AngⅡ group
XJEK could obviously improve endothelial dysfunction (ED) by promoting eNOS activities and enhancing NO in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover
XJEK could up-regulate SOD activity and down-regulate MDA content significantly. In addition
after treatment with XJEK
ROS level and intracellular Ca2+ concentration in endothelial cells were decreased compared with the AngⅡgroup (P<0.05). Conclusion: These results suggest that XJEK has a protective effect on AngⅡ-induced HUVECs injury
and the mechanism underlying may contribute to inhibiting intracellular Ca2+ overload and improving ED and ameliorating ROS.
