目的: 观察姜黄素对氧化型低密度脂蛋白(ox-LDL)诱导的人主动脉内皮细胞(HAECs)损伤的作用及分子机制.方法: 以不同浓度姜黄素预处理体外培养的HAECs,再以ox-LDL对细胞进行干预.MTT法和EdU法评估细胞增殖能力;ELISA法对培养液中白细胞介素-6(IL-6)、转化生长因子β1(TGFβ1)、高迁移率族蛋白1(HMGB1)以及分泌型晚期糖基化终产物受体(sRAGE)浓度进行检测;凝胶电泳迁移率实验(EMSA)评估过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ(PPARγ)的结合活性;Western blot 法检测HAECs中磷酸化PPARγ、血红素氧合酶-1(HO-1)、HMGB1、IL-6、TGFβ1和RAGE的表达水平.结果: ox-LDL处理的HAECs细胞活力和增殖能力下降,细胞内PPARγ/HO-1信号被抑制,其下游HMGB1/RAGE炎症通路被激活,细胞分泌的IL-6、TGFβ1、HMGB1以及sRAGE浓度显著增加.不同浓度姜黄素预处理可激活ox-LDL诱导的HAECs内PPARγ/HO-1信号通路,从而抑制下游HMGB1/RAGE炎症通路,降低IL-6、TGFβ1、HMGB1以及sRAGE炎症因子水平.结论: ox-LDL能够通过抑制PPARγ/HO-1而激活HMGB1/RAGE炎症通路造成HAECs损伤.姜黄素则能够通过活化PPARγ/HO-1通路抑制炎症反应,减轻ox-LDL对HAECs的损伤.%AIM: To investigate the effect of curcumin on oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced injury of human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs).METHODS: HAECs were pre-treated with curcumin at different concentrations and then treated with ox-LDL.The cell viability was assessed by MTT assay.The cell proliferation ability was analyzed by EdU assay.ELISA was used to determine the concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6), transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1), high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) and secretory receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) in the HAEC culture medium.The binding activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) was evaluated by electrophoretic mobility shift assay.The protein levels of HO-1, HMGB1, RAGE,IL-6,TGFβ1 and phosphorylated PPARγ in the HAECs were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: The viability and the proliferation ability decreased significantly in the HAECs treated with ox-LDL.The PPARγ/HO-1 signaling pathway was inhibited while its down-stream HMGB1/RAGE signaling pathway was activated by ox-LDL.The levels of IL-6, TGFβ1, HMGB1 and sRAGE were increased.Pre-treatment with curcumin activated PPARγ/HO-1 signaling pathway and inhibited HMGB1/RAGE signaling pathway in ox-LDL treated HAECs in a concentration-dependent manner.The levels of IL-6, TGFβ1, HMGB1 and sRAGE were also decreased dramatically by pre-treatment of curcumin in a concentration-dependent manner.CONCLUSION: ox-LDL induces HAEC damage by inhibiting PPARγ/HO-1 to activate HMGB1/RAGE inflammatory signaling.Curcumin exerts protective effect on ox-LDL treated HAECs via activating PPARγ/HO-1 signaling pathway.
