【摘要】 目的: 探讨银杏黄酮苷元对氧化低密度脂蛋白(oxidized low density lipoprotein,oxLDL)诱导脐静脉内皮细胞株ECV304植物血凝素样低密度脂蛋白受体-1(Lectinlike oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor1,LOX1)表达的调节作用。方法: 应用逆转录聚合酶链式反应、SP免疫组织化学法,探讨oxLDL诱导下内皮细胞表达LOX1及银杏黄酮苷元的干预作用。结果: 6.25~25 mg/L银杏黄酮苷元与脐静脉内皮细胞株ECV304共同培养6~48 h可显著抑制oxLDL诱导的内皮细胞LOX1mRNA和蛋白表达(P<0.05),具有浓度、时间效应关系(P<0.05);LOX1拮抗剂聚肌苷酸可抑制oxLDL诱导的内皮细胞LOX1mRNA和蛋白表达(P<0.05)。结论: oxLDL可能通过LOX1导致内皮功能障碍,银杏黄酮苷元可显著抑制oxLDL诱导的内皮细胞LOX1表达,这可能是其抗动脉粥样硬化的机制之一。

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the regulating effects of ginkgetin aglycone (GA) on oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) induced gene and protein expression of lectinlike oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor1 (LOX1) in human umbilical vein endothelial cell line 304 (ECV304).Methods: RTPCR and SPimmunohistochemistry assay were used to detect the expression of LOX1 in endothelial cells under the induction of oxLDL and the intervention effect of GA. Results: The expression of LOX1 mRNA and its protein was inhibited significantly when ECV340 cells were incubated with 6.25~25 mg/L GA for 6~48 hours(P<0.05), and to some extend, the inhibitory effect appeared dependant on the drug concentration and action time (P<0.05). LOX1 receptor inhibitor, polyinosinic acid showed inhibition to the expression of LOX1 mRNA and protein induced by oxLDL (P<0.05). Conclusions: Endothelial dysfunction could be caused by oxLDL through LOX1, and GA can inhibit significantly the expression of oxLDL induced LOX1, which may be one of its antiatherosclerosis mechanisms.
在AS的形成过程中,oxLDL发挥着重要作用。oxLDL主要通过两种机制促进AS的进展,一是巨噬细胞通过清道夫受体摄入oxLDL,引起血管壁泡沫细胞的堆积和脂质的形成;二是oxLDL改变了内皮的多种功能,包括抑制内皮源性一氧化氮的释放、介导黏附因子的产生、改变与内皮凋亡图3 内皮细胞LOX1蛋白表达结果(SP,×400)
Fig.3 The immunohistochemistry results of LOX1 protein in different groups有关的基因,如bcl1、fas和一氧化氮合酶的表达等[3]。LOX1是一种新发现的oxLDL特异性受体,与已发现的oxLDL受体无同源性,与内皮损伤和功能失调有关。本研究显示,oxLDL可以上调内皮细胞表达LOX1,而LOX1的受体拮抗剂可以阻断oxLDL诱导的LOX1表达,提示LOX1不仅是oxLDL的特异性受体,oxLDL还通过LOX1途径上调LOX1mRNA和蛋白表达,从而增加对oxLDL的摄取及其后的内皮损伤效应。
