Abstract: | AIM: To investigate the effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on protein and mRNA expression of macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs). METHODS: HUVECs were cultured with AGEs at different concentrations for 24 h and at a concentration of 400 mg/L for different time.The levels of mRNA and protein expression of MIP-1α in cultured HUVEC were detected by in situ hybridization and Western blot, respectively. RESULTS: In situ hybridization showed that after exposure of HUVECs to AGEs at different concentrations (100 mg/L, 200 mg/L, 400 mg/L) for 24 h, the average integrated optical density values (18.76±3.17, 26.58±1.61, 34.23±2.25) of MIP-1α mRNA expression in HUVECs were higher than that in control group (13.83±1.24, P0.05). After exposure of HUVECs to AGEs at a concentration of 400 mg/L for 12 h, 24 h and 36 h, the average integrated optical density values of MIP-1α mRNA expression in HUVECs were 22.67±1.46, 34.23±2.25 and 42.28±3.14, higher than that in 0 h group (12.56±1.24, P0.05). Western Blot showed that exposure of HUVECs to AGEs at different concentrations(100 mg/L, 200 mg/L, 400 mg/L) for 24 h resulted in a 1.34-fold, 1.87-fold and 2.46-fold increase in the expression of MIP-1α protein in HUVECs compared with BSA control group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, exposure of HUVECs to AGEs at a concentration of 400 mg/L for 12 h, 24 h and 36 h resulted in a 1.82-fold, 2.71-fold and 3.34-fold increase in MIP-1α protein expression in HUVECs compared with 0 h group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:These data suggest that AGEs could induce a high expression of MIP-1αmRNA and protein in cultured HUVECs in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. |
