Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of C-peptide on apoptosis induced by high glucose and analyze the relationship between the apoptosis and expression of eNOS in HUVEC. Methods We determined the HUVEC apoptosis by Annexin-V, the expression of eNOS mRNA of HUVEC by RT-PCR, the apoptotic quantity of HUVEC by DNA fragment ELISA. Results High level of glucose could increase HUVEC apoptosis (P<0.01) and reduce the expression of eNOS. After adding physiological or high concentration of C-peptide, the apoptosis decreased and the expressions of eNOS increased markedly, with the relationship coefficient of -0.854 (P<0.01). Conclusion High glucose may induce apoptosis. Physiological or high concentration of C-peptide may reduce the apoptosis induced by hyperglycemia, the relationship between apoptosis and eNOS is negative.
