Inhibiting role of polydatin to expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 induced by lipopolysaccharide on vascular endothelial cells

AIM and METHODS:To investigate expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) , and inhibiting role of polydatin by cellular immune fluorescent staining and laser confocal microscope scanning technology. RESULTS: Compared with basic expression of ICAM-1 on HUVEC, the ICAM-1 expression was enhanced significantly after stimulated by LPS from 8 h to 36 h, dose-dependent relation appeared between expression of ICAM-1 and LPS. ICAM-1 expression on endothelial cells treated only by polydatin had no abvious change,but inducing role of LPS to expression of ICAM-1 was inhibited significantly by polydatin pretreating endothelial cells. CONCLUSION:The expression of ICAM-1 on endothelial cells can be promoted by LPS , and polydatin can inhibit LPS-induced ICAM-1 expression.
