Abstract
Objective To study the protective effect of lycopene on vascular endothelial cell injury by cigarette smoke extract ( CSE) . Methods CSE was prepared and the human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVECs) were assigned into four groups, cells in control were untreated, and cells in other three groups were treated by 10%CSE, 10%CSE+1. 0 μmol·L-1 lycopene and 1. 0 μmol·L-1 lycopene, respectively. Cell viability was evaluated using MTT assay. The intracelluar reactive oxygen species ( ROS) level was detected by ROS assay kits. Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. SIRT1 expression was detected by real-time fluorescence quantification PCR ( qRT-PCR) and Western blot. Results Cell viability in 10%CSE group, 10%CSE+1. 0 μmol·L-1 lycopene or 1. 0 μmol·L-1 lycopene group was (56. 7±5. 1)%,(75. 6±7. 1)% and (95. 5± 9. 7)%, respectively. ROS assay showed that the relative fluorescence intensity in the control was 25. 3±3. 9, however, in 10%CSE group, 10%CSE+1. 0 μmol·L-1 lycopene group or 1. 0 μmol·L-1 lycopene group were 67. 3±4. 6, 45. 3±3. 9 and 20. 8±2. 9, respectively. 10%CSE could induce G2 arrested and which could be antagonized by 1. 0 μmol·L-1 lycopene. The apoptosis rate in the control, 10%CSE group, 10%CSE+1. 0 μmol·L-1 lycopene group or 1. 0 μmol·L-1 lycopene group was (6. 2±0. 5)%, <br> (30.8±4.3)%, (18. 3±1. 9)% and (7. 6±0. 4)%, respectively. As shown in qRT-PCT testing, compared with the control, mRNA of SIRT1 in 10%CSE group, 10%CSE+1. 0 μmol·L-1 lycopene group and 1. 0 μmol·L-1 lycopene group was (0. 51± 0. 03) fold, (0. 84±0. 05) fold, and (1. 31±0. 08) fold compared to the control, the data from western blot were consistent with qRT-PCR results. Conclusion Lycopene can prevent HUVECs from injury induced by CSE by upregulation of SIRT1.关键词
