Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of berberine in attenuating PM2. 5-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells EA. hy926 injury.
Methods: The samples of fine particulate matter( PM2. 5) were collected and made into suspension. Different concentrations of PM2. 5( 0,20,200,400 mg / L) were added into EA. hy926 cells for 24 h. The viability of EA. hy926 cells was detected by MTT assay, and apoptosis of EA. hy926 cells was detected by flow cytometry, the expressions of p-ERK1 /2,BAX and BCL-2 in the EA. hy926 cells were measured by Western blot,the contents of IL-6,TNF-α were measured by ELISA, the content of MDA, and the activities of SOD and LDH in the EA. hy926 cells culture supernatant were measured, respectively. Different concentrations of berberine( 10,50,100 μmol / L) and PD98059( 20 μmol / L) was added into the EA. hy926 cells to observe the effect of berberine.
Results: Compared with control group,PM2. 5 decreased the viability in a dose dependent manner, and significantly upgraded the protein levels of p-ERK1 /2 and BAX / BCL-2 ratio,PM2. 5 increased the apoptosis of EA. hy926 cells, and increased the contents of IL-6,TNF-α and MDA, increased the activity of LDH, and decreased SOD activity in the EA. hy926 cells( P < 0. 05). Compared with PM2. 5 group, berberine increased the viability of EA. hy926 cells in a dose dependent manner,PM2. 5 significantly downgraded the protein levels of p-ERK1 /2 and BAX / BCL-2 ratio, and decreased the apoptosis of EA. hy926 cells, decreased the contents of IL-6,TNF-α and MDA, and decreased the activity of LDH, and increased SOD activity in the EA. hy926 cells( P < 0. 05).
