Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL) is recognized as the essential condition for atherosclerosis.As the ox-LDL-specific receptor,oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1(LOX-1) involved in vascular inflammation and plaques develop-ment of the process.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of fluvastatin on the expression of LOX-1 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) induced by ox-LDL.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The comparative observation was completed in the Medical Center of Second Xiangya Hospital,Central South University between August 2006 and May 2007.MATERIALS:Human umbilical vein endothelial cell line was purchased from the America ATCC Company.Fluvastatin original powder was supplied by Beijing Novartis Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd.METHODS:HUVECs were incubated with:①Stimulation by ox-LDL with end concentration of 25,50,100 mg/L.②LOX-1 neutralizing antibody,and interfered with 50 mg/L ox-LDL.③Interfered with nuclear factor-?B(NF-?B) blockers pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate(PDTC),followed by 50 mg/L ox-LDL intervention.④Fluvastatin with concentration of 0.01,0.1,1 ?mol/L were used to interfere the cells,followed by 50 mg/L ox-LDL intervention.⑤There was an blank group as the control.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The expression of LOX-1 mRNA level was detected by RT-PCR.RESULTS:The levels of mRNA of LOX-1 were increased after cells had beenwere incubated with different concertrations of ox-LDL,when compared with the control group.Within the dosage range of 25 to 50 mg/L,the above-mentioned indexes significantly changed in a concentration-dependent manner(P
