Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of oleic acid on the morphology of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) and on the secretive function of endothelial cell mediated by insulin or leptin. Methods The cell morphological characteristics were studied by phase microscopic observation. The changes of endothelial cell secretive function were studied by detecting the concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin (ET-1) after endothelial cell was pretreated with oleic acid of different concentrations. Results With the increased concentration of stimulating insulin, the concentration of NO increased and ET-1 decreased gradually in a dose-dependent fashion. The profile of endothelial cell pretreated with oleic acid became darker than before. As the concentration of pretreatment oleic acid increased, the concentration of NO secreted by endothelial cell which was mediated by insulin and leptin gradually decreased in a dose-dependent fashion, but the concentration of ET-1 secreted by endothelial cell mediated by leptin decreased significantly only in the 50～100 ?mol?L -1 of pretreatment oleic acid. Conclusion Oleic acid damages endothelial cell directly and inhibits endothelial cell mediated by insulin and leptin to secrete NO. Oleic acid and insulin can directly inhibit release of ET-1 by cultured endothelial cell.
