Abstract: | AIM: To determine the effect of promoting cellular cholesterol efflux on the apoptosis of foam cells derived from monocytes. METHODS: RAW264.7 cells were incubated with 50 mg/L ox-LDL as a foam cell mode. The apoptosis rate of RAW264.7 cells was assayed by flow cytometry. Cellular lipid droplet was assayed by oil red staining. The rate of cellular cholesterol efflux was assayed with [3H] label cholesterol, and the content of cellular cholesterol were assayed by high performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS: After incubation with 50 mg/L ox-LDL for 48 h, the content of cellular cholesterol ester increased from (6.8±3.6) mg/g to (101.7±4.5) mg/g (P<0.05), but the rate of cholesterol efflux was only (5.2±2.1)%, and the apoptosis rate of RAW264.7 was increased from 8.14% to 42.6% (P<0.05). When treated with 200 mg/L HDL3 for 24 h, the rate of cellular cholesterol efflux were obviously increased, the apoptosis rate were decreased from 42.6% to 14.3% (P<0.05). Meanwhile, when treated with 10 mmol/L β-CD (a special compound for promoting cellular cholesterol efflux) for 24 h, the apoptosis rate was also decreased from 42.6% to 12.0%. CONCLUSION: HDL3 and β-CD inhibit the apoptosis of foam cells induced by oxidized LDL through promoting cellular cholesterol efflux. |
