概括
通过氧化应激和MAPK通路,高级糖化终产物 (AGEs) 诱导内皮前体细胞 (EPC) 的亡,从而导致糖尿病的血管损伤. 抗氧化剂和MAPK抑制剂可以减轻由AGE引起的EPC亡.
科学领域:
- 细胞生物学
- 血管生物学
- 糖尿病学
背景情况:
- 内皮前体细胞 (EPC) 对于血管修复至关重要.
- 糖尿病加快血管损伤,部分原因是EPC亡的增加.
- 先进的糖化终产物 (AGE) 与糖尿病并发症有关,但它们对EPC的直接影响尚不清楚.
研究的目的:
- 通过氧化应激和MAPK激活来调查AGE是否会诱导EPC亡.
- 阐明AGE诱导的EPC亡的潜在分子机制.
主要方法:
- 从大鼠骨髓中分离出EPC,并用不同的AGE度和持续时间进行治疗.
- 使用Annexin V/ PI染色和流细胞测量进行了亡的评估.
- 分析了Bax和Bcl-2蛋白质水平,以及活性氧物种 (ROS) 生成和MAPK通路激活 (JNK,p38MAPK).
- 评估了N-乙半氨酸 (NAC),SP600125和SB203580的作用.
主要成果:
- 随着剂量和时间的变化,AGE显著增加了EPC亡.
- 治疗AGE增加了Bax表达,降低了Bcl-2表达,并增加了ROS生成.
- 抗氧化剂NAC和MAPK抑制剂 (SP600125,SB203580) 减弱了AGE诱导的亡,ROS产生,并调节了Bax/ Bcl-2水平.
结论:
- 通过氧化应激和JNK和p38MAPK通路的激活,AGEs会触发EPC亡.
- 通过保护EPC,针对氧化应激和MAPK信号可能为糖尿病血管并发症提供治疗策略.

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
1.2K
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The four categories of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, other specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...

Regulation of Angiogenesis and Blood Supply
2.7K
Rapidly dividing tumors, embryos, and wounded tissues require more oxygen than usual, lowering the oxygen concentration in the blood. At low oxygen or hypoxic conditions, an oxygen-sensitive transcription factor called the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 or HIF1 is activated. HIF1 is a dimeric protein of alpha (ɑ) and beta (β) subunits. Under optimal oxygen conditions, HIF1β is present in the nucleus while HIF1ɑ remains in the cytosol. HIF1ɑ is hydroxylated by prolyl...

Cell Specific Gene Expression
13.9K
Multicellular organisms contain a variety of structurally and functionally distinct cell types, but the DNA in all the cells originated from the same parent cells. The differences in the cells can be attributed to the differential gene expression. Liver cells, whose functions include detoxification of blood, production of bile to metabolize fats, and synthesis of proteins essential for metabolism, must express a specific set of genes to perform their functions. Gene expression also varies with...
