Objective: To study the protective effect of essential oil of Alpinia zerumber fructus(EOAZF) on the inflammatory injury of human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Method: HAECs were cultured in vitro. HAECs were pre-treated with different doses of EOAZF (0.05
0.1 mg·L-1) and aspirin (0.5 mmol·L-1) for 1 h
then incubated with lipopolysaccharide(LPS) (5 mg·L-1) for 12 h. The effect of EOAZF on the cell viability of HAECs induced by LPS was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay
hematoxylin eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the cell morphology
and wound healing assay was used to analyze the ability of HAECs wound healing ability. Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1)
cysteine aspartase-3(Caspase-3)
Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4)
nuclear factor kappa B inhibitory protein kinase (IKK) and phosphorylated nuclear factor kappa inhibitory protein kinase (p-IKK)
and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expressions of TLR4 and VCAM-1.The nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappa-B p65(NF-κB p65) was observed by immunofluorescence. Result: Compared with control group
LPS induced HAECs morphological damage
decreased cell viability and wound healing ability
and increased the expressions of VCAM-1
Caspase-3
TLR4
IKK and p-IKK. Immunofluorescence results showed that LPS induced nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65. Compared with model group
the pre-treatment of EOAZF improved the morphological damage of HAECs induced by LPS
increased cell viability and wound healing ability
inhibited the expressions of VCAM-1
Caspase-3
TLR4
IKK and p-IKK
as well as significantly inhibited the nuclear transposition of NF-κB p65. Conclusion: EOAZF has the protective effect on the inflammatory injury of HAECs induced by LPS
and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of TLR4/IKK/NF-κB p65 signaling.
