摘要
目的:探寻丹参素 (丹参酸 A, SAA)对脂多糖(LPS)处理的血管内皮细胞 (VEC) 的保护作用及可能机制。方法:以 LPS 处理培养的人脐静脉血管内皮细胞, 造成细胞凋亡, 培养液中同时加入系列浓度的 SAA; 倒置相差显微镜观察细胞形态变化; 吖啶橙染色+激光共聚焦显微镜观测凋亡小体; PI 染色+流式细胞仪测定细胞周期分布; MTT 法检测细胞存活率; 生化试剂盒检测细胞内谷胱甘肽脱氢酶(GSH-Px) 活性及丙二醛(MDA)水平。结果:SAA 可明显抑制细胞凋亡, 提高细胞存活率。且该作用具浓度依赖性。对于 LPS 导致的细胞周期异常、GSH-Px 活性下降、MDA 水平升高, SAA 均可明显逆转。结论:丹参酸 A 通过抗氧化作用抑制内毒素诱导的血管内皮细胞凋亡。
AIM： To find out the role of salvianic acid A （SAA） in the protection of vascular endothelial cells （VEC） and its possi- ble mechanism in vitro. METHODS： The ingredient at various concentrations was added to human umbilical vein endothelial cells （HUVEC） treated with 0.5 μmol L-1 lipopolysaccharide （LPS） for 24 h. Apoptotic morphological changes of cells were observed under inverted phase contrast microscope; the cell viability was quantified using MTT assay. Nuclear fragmentation of cells was observed under laser scanning confocal microcope after being stained with acridinorange. Cell cycle distribution was detected by flow-cytometry after being stained with propidium iodide （PI）. The activities of glutathione peroxidase （GPH-PX） as well as maleic dialdehyde （MDA） level in cells were measured by spectrophotometric methods as described in the assay kits. RESULTS： Apoptotic morphological changes and the decrease of cell viability of these cells were obviously inhibited by SAA in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the abnormal cell cycle distribution, the decrease of GSH-Px activity and the increase of MDA level induced by LPS were markedly reversed. CONCLUSION： SAA exerts protective effect on VEC induced by LPS via an antioxidative mechanism.
