Objective:To observe the effect of hydroxysafflower yellow A (HSYA) combined with astragaloside-Ⅳ (As-Ⅳ) on the apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells EA.hy926 induced by human recombinant tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Method:The effects of different concentrations of TNF-α (0

HSYA (0
1×10-6

As-Ⅳ (0

1×10-4mol·L-1) on the cell viability of EA.hy926
as well as the effect of HSYA combined with As-Ⅳ(1×10-5 mol·L-1) on the viability of EA.hy926 cells induced by TNF-α (20 μg·L-1) were measured by thiazole blue method(MTT) assay; Western blot assay was used to detect the effect of different concentrations of TNF-α on the expressions of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)
Bcl-2 associated X protein(Bax)
cleaved cysteine asparate protease-3(Caspase-3) and cleaved Caspase-9 proteins
and the effect of HSYA combined with As-Ⅳ in improving expressions of the above proteins. Real-time PCR assay was used to observe the effect of HSYA combined with As-Ⅳ on the expression of Bcl-2 gene induced by TNF-α. Immunofluorescence technique was used to analyze the effect of HSYA combined with As-Ⅳ on the expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins induced by TNF-α. Result:Compared with the blank group
TNF-α could induce the activity of EA.hy926 cells at 20 μg·L-1
up-regulate the expressions of Bax
cleaved Caspase-3 and cleaved Caspase-9
and down-regulate the expression of Bcl-2.Compared with TNF-α group
HSYA combined with As-Ⅳ pretreatment group could decrease the cell viability induced by TNF-α
inhibit the expressions of Bax
cleaved Caspase-3 and cleaved Caspase-9
and increase the expression of Bcl-2 induced by TNF-α. The effect of HSYA combined with As-Ⅳ pretreatment group was better than that of single use of HSYA or As-Ⅳ pretreatment group. Conclusion:HSYA combined with As-Ⅳ has an inhibitory effect on the apoptosis of EA.hy926 cells induced by TNF-α
with a better effect than that of single drug. The mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of expressions of Bax
cleaved Caspase-3 and cleaved Caspase-9 and the up-regulation of Bcl-2 expression.
