Abstract:
AIM: To examine whether tolerogenic dendritic cells(DC) loaded with heat shock protein 60(HSP60) could restore endothelial function in hypercholesterolemic apolipoprotein E(apoE)-null mice.METHODS: Bone marrow derived DC of the mice was loaded with HSP60 and co-cultured with rapamycin to generate tolerogenic DC.The tolerogenic DC,DC loaded only with HSP60(DChsp) and saline were injected into the apoE-null mice at 6 weeks of age for two times at a one-week interval.C57BL/6 mice at the same age were taken as normal control two weeks after the last injection.Aorta was harvested for ex vivo vascular ring tension test.Immune parameters were also analyzed in vitro and in vivo.RESULTS: Compared with the non loaded DC,HSP60 pulsed DC expressed higher levels of CD86,and stimulated T lymphocytes to proliferation significantly,while the tolerogenic DC expressed lower levels of CD86,and inhibited T lymphocytes to proliferation.After immunization with different injection,Ach-induced relaxation was reduced significantly in(DChsp) group compared with saline group(P
