Endothelial cell injury caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disorders. Astragaloside IV (AsIV) possesses potent antioxidant properties against oxidative stress through undefined mechanism(s). We sought to investigate whether AsIV protects human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) induced oxidative stress focusing on eNOS uncoupling and the NADPH oxidase – ROS – NF-κB pathway. Compared with HUVECs incubated with H2O2 alone, pretreatment with AsIV significantly increased the viability of HUVECs, which was accompanied with apparent increase in nitric oxide (NO) production and decrease in intracellular superoxide anion production. Furthermore, pretreatment with AsIV increased endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) dimer/monomer ratio and its critical cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) content, decreased Nox4 protein expression (the most abundant Nox isoform in HUVECs), inhibited translocation of NF-κB p65 subunit into nuclear fraction while enhanced the protein expression of IκB-α (the inhibitor of NF-κB p65), reduced the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in HUVECs medium, and decreased iNOS protein expression. These results suggest that AsIV may protect HUVECs from H2O2-induced oxidative stress via inhibiting NADPH oxidase – ROS – NF-κB pathway and eNOS uncoupling.

Peoniflorin (PF), extracted from the root of Paeonia lactiflora Pall., has been reported to have anti-inflammation and antioxidant effects in several animal models. Herein, we investigated the protective effects of PF against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). HUVECs were treated by H2O2 (240 µmol/L) with or without PF. PF significantly increased the percent cell viability of HUVECs injured by H2O2 using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. By flow cytometric analysis, PF markedly attenuated H2O2-induced apoptosis and intracellular reactive oxygen species production. In addition, PF also displayed a dose-dependent reduction of lactate dehydrogenase leakage, malondialdehyde formation, and caspase-3 proteolytic activities in H2O2-treated cells, which was accompanied with a restoration of the activities of endogenous antioxidants, including total superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. Finally, Western blot data revealed that H2O2 upregulated phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 in HUVECs, which was almost completely reversed by PF. Taken together, our data provide the first evidence that PF has a protective ability against oxidative damage in HUVECs. PF may be a candidate medicine for the treatment of vascular diseases associated with oxidative stress.

Background. Oxidative stress could induce cell injury in vascular endothelial cells, which is the initial event in the development of atherosclerosis. Although quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) has been widely used in gene expression studies in oxidative stress injuries, using carefully validated reference genes has not cause sufficient attention in related researches. The objective of this study, therefore, was to select a set of stably expressed reference genes for use in qRT-PCR normalization in oxidative stress injuries in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Methods. HUVECs were treated with different concentrations of H2O2, geNorm and NormFinder software were conducted to evaluate the expression stabilities of 15 candidate reference genes. The optimal number of reference genes needed for qRT-PCR was determined using geNorm. Results. Using geNorm analysis, we found that five stably expressed reference genes were sufficient for normalization in qRT-PCR analysis in HUVECs treated with H2O2. Genes with the most stable expression according to geNorm were U6 and TFRC, RPLP0, GAPDH and ACTB, and were ALAS1, TFRC, U6, GAPDH, and ACTB according to NormFinder. Discussion. Taken together, our study demonstrated that the expression stability of reference genes may differ according to the statistical program used. U6, TFRC, RPLP0, GAPDH, and ACTB was the optimal set of reference genes for studies on gene expression with qRT-PCR assays in HUVECs under oxidative stress study.

Oxidative stress-induced endothelial dysfunction is strongly linked to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. A previous study revealed that seahorse hydrolysates ameliorated oxidative stress-mediated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) injury. However, the responsible compounds have not yet been identified. This study aimed to identify cytoprotective peptides and to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the cytoprotective role in H2O2-induced HUVECs injury. After purification by gel filtration and HPLC, two peptides were sequenced by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry as HGSH (436.43 Da) and KGPSW (573.65 Da). The synthesized peptides and their combination (1:1 ratio) showed significant HUVECs protection effect at 100 μg/mL against H2O2-induced oxidative damage via significantly reducing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Two peptides and their combination treatment resulted in the increased heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a phase II detoxifying enzyme, through the activation of nuclear transcription factor-erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2). Additionally, cell cycle and nuclear staining analysis revealed that two peptides and their combination significantly protected H2O2-induced cell death through antiapoptotic action. Two peptides and their combination treatment led to inhibit the expression of proapoptotic Bax, the release of cytochrome C into the cytosol, the activation of caspase 3 by H2O2 treatment in HUVECs, whereas antiapoptotic Bcl-2 expression was increased with concomitant downregulation of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Taken together, these results suggest that seahorse-derived peptides may be a promising agent for oxidative stress-related cardiovascular diseases.
