Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a disease in which lipids and inflammatory factors accumulate on the walls of arteries, forming plaques that eventually block the flow of blood. Polydatin was derived from plant knotweed, which could play an important role in inhibiting the progression of atherosclerosis. However, the mechanism by which polydatin regulates the genesis and development of atherosclerosis remains unclear. To detect the function of polydatin in atherosclerosis, the proliferation, apoptosis and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was detected using 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine staining, flow cytometry and transwell assays, respectively. In addition, the branch points and capillary length of HUVECs were observed using a tube formation assay, and the lipid accumulation was tested by Oil-red O staining assay. Dual luciferase reporter assays were performed to confirm the association between microRNA (miR)-26a-5p and BH3 interacting domain death agonist (BID) in HUVECs. The data suggested oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) notably inhibited the viability of HUVECs in a dose-dependent manner, and polydatin reversed the oxLDL-induced inhibition of HUVECs viability and proliferation. In addition, polydatin inhibited the apoptosis, migration and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in oxLDL-treated HUVECs. Polydatin reversed oxLDL-induced lipid accumulation and angiogenesis inhibition in HUVECs. Furthermore, BID was targeted by miR-26a-5p, and polydatin reversed the oxLDL-induced apoptosis of HUVECs via regulating the miR-26a-5p/BID axis. In summary, polydatin reversed the oxLDL-induced apoptosis of HUVECs via regulating the miR-26a-5p/BID axis. Therefore, polydatin could act as a new agent for atherosclerosis treatment.
期刊介绍:
The Journal publishes original papers concerning investigations by histochemical and immunohistochemical methods, and performed with the aid of light, super-resolution and electron microscopy, cytometry and imaging techniques. Coverage extends to:
functional cell and tissue biology in animals and plants;
cell differentiation and death;
cell-cell interaction and molecular trafficking;
biology of cell development and senescence;
nerve and muscle cell biology;
cellular basis of diseases.
The histochemical approach is nowadays essentially aimed at locating molecules in the very place where they exert their biological roles, and at describing dynamically specific chemical activities in living cells. Basic research on cell functional organization is essential for understanding the mechanisms underlying major biological processes such as differentiation, the control of tissue homeostasis, and the regulation of normal and tumor cell growth. Even more than in the past, the European Journal of Histochemistry, as a journal of functional cytology, represents the venue where cell scientists may present and discuss their original results, technical improvements and theories.
