چکیده
BACKGROUND Uraemia is associated with endothelial dysfunction, but the effect of uraemic plasma on the gene expression pattern of human coronary arterial endothelial cells (HCAEC) has never been defined. METHODS HCAECs were exposed for 48 h to a culture medium supplemented with 20% uraemic vs normal plasma. We extracted mRNA and hybridized it onto Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus2 microarrays. We validated our findings for five genes of interest by real-time PCR and performed evaluations of cell proliferation and apoptosis in HCAECs exposed to uraemic vs normal plasma. RESULTS Six genes involved in the regulation of cell-cycle progression (CDK-1, topoisomerase II, PDZ-binding kinase, CDCA1, protein SDP35, E2F transcription factor 8) and two genes of the cholesterol efflux system (ABCA1 and ABCG1) were down-regulated in HCAECs exposed to uraemic plasma (>1.75-fold change vs normal). Real-time PCR confirmed the down-regulation observed in the microarray experiment. Cell proliferation was significantly decreased in HCAECs exposed to uraemic vs normal plasma for 48 h (86 vs 95% of serum-starved control, P = 0.006). Exposure to uraemic plasma for 48 h was associated with increased apoptosis of HCAEC as compared with normal plasma (7.7 vs 2.8%, P < 0.001), a phenomenon that was further enhanced when oxidized LDLs (150 microg protein/ml) were added to the medium containing uraemic plasma (16.9 vs 7.7%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The down-regulation of genes involved in cell-cycle progression and cholesterol efflux from HCAECs exposed to uraemic conditions could contribute to enhancing endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis in patients with chronic renal failure.

متن کاملDeficiency of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters A1 and G1 in Endothelial Cells Accelerates Atherosclerosis in Mice.
OBJECTIVE Plasma high-density lipoproteins have several putative antiatherogenic effects, including preservation of endothelial functions. This is thought to be mediated, in part, by the ability of high-density lipoproteins to promote cholesterol efflux from endothelial cells (ECs). The ATP-binding cassette transporters A1 and G1 (ABCA1 and ABCG1) interact with high-density lipoproteins to prom...

متن کاملFluvoxamine inhibits some inflammatory genes expression in LPS/stimulated human endothelial cells, U937 macrophages, and carrageenan-induced paw edema in rat
Objective(s): Fluvoxamine is a well-known selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI); Despite its anti-inflammatory effect, little is known about the precise mechanisms involved. In our previous work, we found that IP administration of fluvoxamine produced a noticeable anti-inflammatory effect in carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of fluvoxa...

Clinical trials suggest that fenofibrate reduces the progression of retinopathies in patients with type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, patients with retinopathies have elevated levels of inflammatory chemokines and dysfunctional retinal angiogenesis. Therefore, we investigated the effects of fenofibrate on the production of inflammatory chemokines and genes associated with angiogenesis. Retinal pigme...
