Increased Monocytic Adhesion by Senescence in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

We investigated whether replicative senescence of endothelial cells contributed to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). HUVECs at a population-doubling level of 30 (PDL30) divided much more slowly than those at PDL9. The percentage of SA-β-Gal-positive cells and the mRNA expression levels of PAI-1 and p21 at PDL30 were significantly higher than those at PDL9. The changes induced by aging were evaluated according to the mRNA expression level of genes related to the endothelial cell function. The expression level of many adhesion molecules promoting monocytic adhesion was significantly increased, and monocytic adhesion on HUVECs was found to be significantly promoted by aging. Monocytic adhesion is an essential early event in the development of atherosclerosis, and our results suggest that replicative senescence of the vascular endothelial cells induced increased expression of adhesion molecules. The consequent increase in monocytic adhesion may then promote the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

Nonselective Cation Channels in Endothelial Cells Derived from Human Umbilical Vein

(i) We have used a combined patch-clamp and fura-2 fluorescence technique to characterize a nonselective cation channel (NSC) in Ea.hy926 (EA) cells, an endothelial cell line derived from human umbilical vein. (ii) Stimulation with ATP, histamine and bradykinin activated slowly and with a long delay after application of the agonist, a nonselective cation current (I _NSC) which is time- and voltage-independent. The permeability sequence for cations was P _Na > P _Cs >> P _NMDG , P _Ca . In the absence of external Ca²⁺ and at rather high concentrations, La³⁺ and Gd³⁺ blocked I _NSC . (iii) Single channel analysis revealed that ATP activates in the cell-attached configuration a nonselective cation channel with a conductance of approximately 24 pS and a permeation sequence identical to that of the macroscopic current. The channel activity disappeared after membrane excision. (iv) Activation of NSC required physiological intracellular Ca²⁺ levels (100 nm or higher). All agonists failed to activate NSC if cytosolic Ca²⁺ ([Ca²⁺] _i ) was lowered by 10 mm BAPTA. Clamping internal Ca²⁺ at 1 μm sometimes (8 out of 17 cells) spontaneously activated I _NSC in the absence of any additional stimulus. (v) Application of 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone and internal perfusion of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate also activated I _NSC . The phospholipase C inhibitor, U-73122 inhibited I _NSC and the sustained Ca²⁺ plateau during agonist stimulation whereas the inactive analogue, U-73343 had no effect. (vi) These results indicate NSC may act as a Ca²⁺ entry pathway in endothelium. [Ca²⁺] _i and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate play a role in the activation cascade of NSC, and possibly also store depletion. Received: 13 October 1998/Revised: 28 January 1999

Proteomic Response of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells to Histamine Stimulation

The histamine receptors (HRs) represent a subclass of G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) and comprise four subtypes. Due to their numerous physiological and pathological effects, HRs are popular drug targets for the treatment of allergic reactions or the regulation of gastric acid secretion. Hence, an understanding of the functional selectivity of HR ligands has gained importance. These ligands can bind to specific GPCRs and selectively activate defined pathways. Supporting the activation of a therapeutically necessary pathway without the activation of other signaling cascades can result in drugs with more specific activity and fewer side effects. To evaluate the cellular consequences resulting from receptor binding, comprehensive analyses of cellular protein alterations upon incubation with ligands are required. For this purpose, endothelial cells are treated with histamine, as the endogenous ligand of HRs, to obtain a global overview of its cellular effects. Quantitative proteomics and pathway analyses of histamine‐treated and untreated cells reveal enrichment of the nuclear factor‐κB and tumor necrosis factor signaling pathways, cytokine?cytokine receptor interactions, complement and coagulation cascades, and acute inflammatory processes upon histamine treatment. This strategy offers the opportunity to monitor HR‐mediated signaling in a multidimensional manner.     

Protective Effect of Cannabidiol on Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Oxidative Damage in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs)

Natural antioxidants play an important role in promoting good health because of their prevention for oxidative damage. The work aimed to explore the antioxidant mechanism and activity of cannabidiol (CBD) at the cellular level. The human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) with oxidative damage was employed as the model to study the protective capability of CBD. The results showed that CBD pre-treatment before the cells were exposed to hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) resulted in an obvious increase of cell viability (about 100 %) and antioxidant related enzymes activity, and a decline of malondialdehyde (MDA) level. Besides, CBD could alleviate the increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) content, the contraction of nucleus, and condensation of chromatin. The changes showed a dose-dependent effect. Additionally, the free radicals scavenging capacity of CBD was comparable to that of typical natural antioxidant, anthocyanidins. In summary, CBD could be employed as a potent antioxidant source for avoiding the oxidative damage. These results could provide the foundation for the development of CBD antioxidant products.

目的:二苯乙烯苷(2,3,5,4′-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside,TSG)具有抗炎、抗氧化、抗动脉粥样硬化(atherosclerosis,As)等作用。课题组前期研究表明TSG对过氧化氢(H2O2)诱导损伤的内皮细胞具有保护作用,并抑制内皮细胞的凋亡,但机制尚未完全明确。本研究目的在于探讨TSG是否通过影响X连锁凋亡抑制蛋白(X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein,XIAP)、Caspase-9的表达来抑制细胞凋亡。方法:体外培养人脐静脉内皮细胞,实验分为正常对照组、模型组(300μmol·L-1H2O2)、TSG预处理组(10μmol·L-1TSG+300μmol·L-1H2O2)、Embelin与TSG联合处理组(30μmol·L-1Embelin+10μmol·L-1TSG+300μmol·L-1H2O2)、TSG单独处理组(10μmol·L-1TSG)、Embelin组(30μmol·L-1Embelin)。采用MTT法检测细胞增殖率,Hoechst 33258染色观察凋亡细胞核形态,RT-PCR和Western blot检测XIAP、Caspase-9的表达。结果:与空白对照组相比,H2O2组内皮细胞增殖率降低,核损伤明显,XIAP表达显著性下降,Caspase-9表达显著增加(P0.01);与H2O2组比较,经TSG预处理后,细胞增殖率增加,核损伤减轻,XIAP的表达上升,Caspase-9表达减少,差异均有显著性(P0.01)。与TSG预处理组比较,用XIAP阻断剂Embelin与TSG联合处理后,内皮细胞活力下降,XIAP表达显著降低,Caspase-9表达增加(P0.01)。结论:TSG具有抑制H2O2诱导的人脐静脉内皮细胞凋亡作用,其机制与增加XIAP的表达,抑制Caspase-9的表达有关。

Effective Human Herpesvirus 8 Infection of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells by Cell-Mediated Transmission

Cell-free transmission of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) to human cells in vitro has been reported to be difficult, if not impossible. The present experiments were conducted with the idea that cell-cell contact may produce much more effective transmission, so-called cell-mediated transmission. Primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cocultured with an HHV-8-infected lymphoma cell line, BCBL-1 cells. When a ratio of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-treated BCBL-1 cells to HUVECs of 10:1 was used, more than 20% of HUVECs were found to express the HHV-8 latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA) 48 h after the start of coculturing; this value increased to more than 30% after 72 h. HHV-8-encoded ORF26, K8, K8.1, K10, K11, ORF59, and ORF65 proteins were not detected in these HHV-8-infected HUVECs until 72 h. The HHV-8 antigens were not observed in HUVECs cocultured with TPA-treated BCBL-1 cells separated by a membrane. Thirty days after removal of the BCBL-1 cells from the cell-mediated transmission experiment, the HUVECs still expressed LANA and the HHV-8 genome was detected by PCR in these cells. Moreover, the ORF59 protein, a DNA replication-associated protein of HHV-8, was expressed in such HUVECs in the presence of TPA stimulation. These results indicated a far more effective transmission mechanism, cell-cell contact, suggesting the possibility that such a mechanism works in vivo.
