Abstract EN
Dyslipidemia increases the risks for atherosclerosis in part by impairing endothelial integrity.
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are thought to contribute to endothelial recovery after arterial injury.
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) can induce EPC dysfunction, but the underlying mechanism is not well understood.
Human EPCs were cultured in endothelial growth medium supplemented with VEGF (10 ng/mL) and bFGF (10 ng/mL).
The cells were treated with ox-LDL (50 µg/mL).
EPC proliferation was assayed by using CCK8 kits.
Expression and translocation of nuclear factor-kabba B (NF-κB) were evaluated.
The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells was measured using H2DCF-DA as a fluorescence probe.
The activity of NADPH oxidase activity was determined by colorimetric assay.
Ox-LDL significantly decreased the proliferation, migration, and adhesion capacity of EPCs, while significantly increased ROS production and NADPH oxidase expression.
Ox-LDL induced NF-κB P65 mRNA expression and translocation in EPCs.
Thus ox-LDL can induce EPC dysfunction at least by increasing expression and translocation of NF-κB P65 and NADPH oxidase activity, which represents a new mechanism of lipidemia-induced vascular injury.
