Abstract:
Aim To observe the influence of carvedilol on the injury and expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 induced by hydrogen peroxide in ECV-304 cells and investigate the anti-atherosclerotic effect of carvedilol.Methods: The viability of ECV-304 cells was detected by MTT assay.Morphological changes of ECV-304 cells were observed under converse microscope.The level of lactate dehydrogenase released to the extracellular medium,the intracellular superoxide dismutase activity and the extracellular and intracellular Malondialdelyde level were determined using automatic biochemistry analyser.The expression of ICAM-1 in protein level and mRNA level was detected with flow cytometric technique and RT-PCR.Results Pretreated with carvidilol(1.0?10~(-5)～1.0?10~(-9)mol?L~(-1)) for 24 h,the cell survival rate was increased significantly in a concentration-dependent manner.Pre-incubation for 24 h with carvedilol results in a significant concentration-dependent decline of LDH release from hydrogen peroxide(1.0?10~(-6)mol?L~(-1))injured cells.While ECV-304 cells were pre-incubated with carvedilol,the level of MDA decreased and the activity of SOD increased significantly.Carvedilol produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of the expression of ICAM-1 protein and mRNA in hydrogen peroxide injured ECV-304 cells in a similar manner.Conclusion: These experiments demonstrated that carvedilol was able to protect ECV-304 cells from the oxidative stress injury and inhibit ICAM-1expression in ECV-304 cells induced by hydrogen peroxide.Therefore,we can consider that carvedilol maintains and improves the function of endothelium damaged by hydrogen peroxide from many aspects,which does indicate extensive antioxidant effects on the hydrogen peroxide-injured vascular endothelial cells and suggest promising effects in atherogenesis process.
