Abstract:
Objective To investigate the protective effects of Xuebijing(XBJ)on the injury of vascular endothelial cells(VEC)induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS),and to study the mechanisms of the production of nitric oxide (NO)and the expressions of inducible nitric oxide sytnhase (iNOS)and signal transduction under XBJ intervention condition.Methods The cultured VEC were divided into control group, LPS (1 mg · L-1 )group, LPS (1 mg·L-1)+XBJ(25 g·L-1)group,LPS(1 mg·L-1)+pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate(PDTC,20μmol·L-1) group;XBJ and PDTC were administrated 1 h before incubation of with LPS.Western blotting method was used to detect the expressions of iNOS and NF-κB p65 protein.The level of NO in the supernatant was measured by Griess reagent.Results Comparaed with control group,the NO level and the expression levels of iNOS protein and NF-κB p65 protein in VEC in LPS group were significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with LPS group,the NO level and the expression levels of iNOS protein and NF-κB p65 protein in VEC in LPS+XBJ group were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01);the NO level and the expression levels of NF-κB p65 protein and iNOS protein in VEC in LPS+PDTC group were significantly decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01).There were no significant differences of the NO levels and the expression levels of iNOS protein between LPS+XBJ group and LPS +PDTC group (P>0.05),but the expression level of NF-κB p65 protein in LPS+PDTC group was lower than that in LPS+XBJ group(P<0.05).Conclusion XBJ can inhibit the production of NO and the expression of iNOS protein in VEC;its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of NF-κB to control inflammation.
