Protective effect of HDL on endothelial NO production: the role of DDAH/ADMA pathway

Accumulating studies have demonstrated that the dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase/asymmetric dimethylarginine (DDAH/ADMA) system is a novel pathway for modulating nitric oxide (NO) production. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the protective effect of high density lipoprotein (HDL) on endothelial NO production was related to its effect on DDAH/ADMA pathway. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were prior exposed to HDL (10, 50, or 100 μg/ml) for 1 h, and then incubated with oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) (100 μg/ml) for 24 h. The cultured medium was collected for measuring the concentration of NO and ADMA. The cells were collected for measuring the mRNA and protein expression of DDAH-II as well as DDAH activity. HUVECs treated with ox-LDL (100 μg/ml) for 24 h significantly decreased the concentration of NO, the mRNA and protein expression of DDAH-II as well as DDAH activity and increased the level of ADMA. Pretreatment with HDL (10, 50, or 100 μg/ml) could counteract these changes induced by ox-LDL (100 μg/ml). HDL significantly increased the attenuated endothelial cell NO production induced by ox-LDL, which was attributed to its effect on DDAH/ADMA pathway.     

HPLC separation of hesperidin and the C-2 epimer in commercial hesperidin samples and herbal medicines

Hesperidin (2S-form), the flavanone 7-O-glycoside, is the main constituent of some Citrus species. The peels of two Citrus species are used as a crude drug, Aurantii nobilis pericarpium, in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia and as components in Kampo formulae. Thus, HPLC analysis of hesperidin as a marker compound is needed for quality control of medicines. Hesperidin was separated from the corresponding C-2 epimer by normal-phase HPLC using a chiral column. Moreover, narirutin and neohesperidin were also separated from the corresponding C-2 epimer. The analyses of commercial hesperidin samples revealed that they contained the C-2 epimer and that the relative ratio of hesperidin to the epimer ranged from 92:8 to 59:41. The HPLC application to Citrus extracts suggested that naturally occurring hesperidin in Citrus has the 2S configuration; however, the dry extracts of rikkunshito and chotosan, which are Kampo formulations containing Aurantii nobilis pericarpium, were found to contain a considerable amount of the (2R)-epimer. These data suggest that the decoction process of the formulae partly converts hesperidin to the epimer. Because diastereomers differ from each other in physicochemical and biological activities, HPLC to separate hesperidin from the C-2 epimer should be introduced into the letter of approval for herbal medicines.     

核因子-κB在HUVEC细胞凋亡信号通路中的作用

Tyrosinase inhibitory effects and inhibition mechanisms of nobiletin and hesperidin from citrus peel crude extracts

The inhibitory effects of nobiletin and hesperidin from citrus peel crude extracts on tyrosinase diphenolase activity are evaluated. IC₅₀ of nobiletin and hesperidin is 1.49 mM and 16.08 mM, respectively and their inhibition mechanism is competitive type with K_i = 2.82 mM and noncompetitive with K_i = 9.16 mM, respectively. Crude extracts from citrus peel (C. unshiu Marc.) were extracted with 95% ethanol and fractionated by petroleum ether (PCPE). The ethanol phase (ECPE) was further desorbed from macroporous adsorption resin (FGRE). Their IC₅₀ values were 8.09 mg/mL, 7.53 mg/mL and 4.80 mg/mL, respectively. Their inhibition on melanogenesis in B16 mouse melanoma cells was also evaluated. FGRE showed a significant inhibition (42.5% at 31.25 μg/mL, p < 0.01) while hesperidin showed almost no inhibition. Nobiletin and PCPE give efficacious antiproliferation effects on B16 mouse melanoma cell with IC₅₀ values 88.6 μM and 62.96 μg/mL, respectively, by the MTT test. Hesperidin and other crude extracts showed very low cytotoxity to the B16 cell.     

Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor expression kinetics in macrophage-derived foam cells

Macrophage-derived foam cells seem to play an important role during inflammatory response of atherosclerosis, in which the overexpression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are associated with the early and later pathological changes in foam cell formation. In this study, we investigated the expression kinetics of ICAM-1 and VEGF in macrophage-derived foam cells. The foam cell model was established through incubating the human monocyte line (U937 cells) with oxidized-low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL). Up-regulated expressions of ICAM-1 and VEGF were analyzed in protein and mRNA levels in U937 foam cells by flow cytometry, ELISA, and Northern blot. Kinetic studies showed the deferent kinds of expression curves in dose response and time course. The expression dose-kinetics demonstrated that the ICAM-1 showed the peak expression induced by ox-LDL 50 mg/L, while VEGF levels increased in a dose-dependent manner with the maximum level induced by ox-LDL 200 mg/L. Time-kinetic studies revealed that the ICAM-1 levels showed the peak expression in 12 h while VEGF expression increased in a time-dependent manner with the maximum level in 48 h. These results proved that both ICAM-1 and VEGF expressions were enhanced in the macrophage-derived foam cells, but ICAM-1 expression increased earlier than the up-regulation of VEGF; low dose of ox-LDL mainly up regulated ICAM-1 expression, while high dose mainly increased the VEGF expression.     

Mechanism of cigarette smoke condensate induced adhesion of human monocytes to cultured endothelial cells

Cigarette smoking is ranked among the leading risk factors in the etiology of atherosclerotic vascular disease. The mechanisms, however, that link cigarette smoking to increased incidence of atherosclerosis are not understood. The adherence of circulating monocytes to the endothelium, migration into the subendothelium, and subsequent formation of foam cells are principal initial events in the development of atherosclerosis. We therefore determined whether cigarette smoke caused increased adherence of monocytes to endothelial cells and the cellular mechanism of this increased adherence. Cigrette smoke condensate (CSC), the particulate fraction of cigarette smoke derived from 2R1 standard research cigarettes, at a concentration of 25–30 μg/ml (average yield of CSC is 26.1 mg/cigarette), augmented (70–90%) basal adherence of human peripheral blood monocytes to a cultured monolayer of endothelial cells derived from bovine aorta (BAEC) and human umbilical vein (HUVEC). There was a concomitant increase in the expression of CD11b ligand on the surface of monocytes as determined by flow cytometry, utilizing FITC conjugated Mab MO-1 (CD11b). However, nicotine (1–15 μg/ml) and cadmium sulfate (10 μg/ml), constituents of CSC, individually or in combination had no effect either on CD11b expression or adherence of monocytes to endothelial cells. Treatment of HUVEC with CSC for 60 min also resulted in an increased expression of ICAM-1 and ELAM-1 as determined by mean fluorescence intensity of ICAM-1 and ELAM-1 labeled cells in flow cytometric analysis. The CSC induced expression of CD11b in monocytes was optimal at 25–30 min and was inhibited by protein kinase C inhibitors, staurosporine and H-7, and also by baicalein, a lipoxygenase inhibitor. Similarly, CSC induced ICAM-1 and ELAM-1 expression in HUVEC was inhibited by protein kinase C inhibitors. CSC stimulated the adherence of human monocytes but not the monocytic cell lines HL-60, U937, and THP-1 to endothelial cells. The CSC stimulated adherence of human monocytes was inhibited (80%) by MAb to CD11b and 50% by Mab to ICAM-1 and ELAM-1. These results suggest that cigarettee smoke particulate constituents activate protein kinase C, leading to increased surface expression of adhesive ligand CD11b on peripheral blood monocytes and counter receptor(s) ICAM-1 and ELAM-1 in endothelial cells. The expression of ligand and counter receptor leads to potentiated adherence of monocytes to endothelial cells, an initial event in the pathogenesis of cigarette smoke induced inflammatory response in the vessel wall. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Connexin43 siRNA promotes HUVEC proliferation and inhibits apoptosis induced by ox-LDL: an involvement of ERK signaling pathway

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), one of the most important risk factors of atherosclerosis, is a highly antigenic, potent chemoattractant that facilitates the development of atherosclerosis. Gap junctions also play an important in the development of atherosclerosis. In this study, we investigated the effects of ox-LDL on connexin43 and the mechanisms of connexin43 siRNA-inhibited apoptosis induced by ox-LDL in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC), to clarify the role of connexin43 in atherosclerosis. Our results showed that ox-LDL significantly inhibited the growth and promoted apoptosis of HUVEC in a dose-dependent manner. Also, ox-LDL upregulated the expression of connexin43. Furthermore, knockdown connexin43 by siRNA promoted proliferation and inhibited apoptosis in ox-LDL-stimulated HUVEC. Moreover, the level of phosphor-ERK1/2 and connexin43 was remarkably attenuated by a ERK pathway inhibitor (PD98059). These results suggest that connexin43 siRNA promotes HUVEC proliferation and inhibits apoptosis induced by ox-LDL, and ERK signaling pathway appears to be involved in these processes.     

Chemical composition and protective effect of oregano (Origanum heracleoticum L.) ethanolic extract on oxidative damage and on inhibition of NO in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages

The present study shows the chemical profile and the in vitro properties (antioxidant and inhibition of nitric oxide production) of the Origanum heracleoticum L. (Lamiaceae). The ethanolic extract of the aerial parts is characterized by terpenes and fatty acids. The extract, with high total phenol and flavonoid content, showed a significant radical-scavenging activity (IC(50) value of 12.8 μg/mL) using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) test and an interesting antioxidant activity with the β-carotene bleaching test (IC(50) values of 12.9 and 14.1 μg/mL at 30 and 60?min of incubation, respectively). The test for the inhibition of NO production, performed using the murine monocytic macrophage RAW 264.7 cell line, showed that the extract had significant activity with an IC(50) value of 108.5 μg/mL. The cytotoxic effect of O. heracleoticum extract in presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (1 μg/mL) was evaluated but found to be negligible.
