Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of total flavonoids of astragalus (TFA) on the apoptosis of endothelial cells induced by serum of uremia patient .Methods The serum of 22 healthy volunteers and 25 uremia patients receiving regularly hemodialysis were enrolled in the study .HUVECs were used as research objects ,which were divided into control group(adding serum of healthy people when cell synchronized) and uremia group (adding serum of uremia patient when cell synchronized ) .Low dose ,moderate dose and high dose group were prepared by adding 0 .5 ,1 .0 ,2 .0 mg/mL TFA respectively 6 h before cell synchronization .After 24 hours′culture since the serum were added ,the morphological change of endothelial cells were observed by microscopy ,proliferation activities were tested by using MTT ,SOD activities were tested by using xanthine oxidase method ,NO levels were measured by u-sing nitrate reductase colorimetric method ,DNA damage was detected by using comet assay ,the morphological change of apoptosis was observed by using TUNEL method .Results Compared with the control group ,the proliferation activity ,SOD activity ,NO lev-els were lower in uremia group(P< 0 .01) ,DNA tailing rate ,apoptosis index(AI) significantly increased (P<0 .01) .Compared with cells of uremia group ,cell proliferation activity of all the TFA intervention groups increased (P<0 .05) ,NO levels also in-creased (P<0 .01) .Compared with uremia group ,moderate and high dose group′s SOD activity increased (P<0 .05) ,DNA damage tailing rate decreased (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Total flavonoids of astragalus reduces apoptosis of HUVECs induced by serum of uremia patient ,the possible mechanism is associated with the decrease of oxidative stress .
