Abstract Backgrounds: Vascular endothelial cell apoptosis is the first risk factor of atherosclerosis (AS), and it can be induced by high doses of glucose and palmitic acid (PA). The purpose of our study is to use a new generation of high-throughput transcription factors (TFs) detecting method to identify novel candidate key TFs involved in PA-induced vascular endothelial cell apoptosis.Methods: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with 0µM PA (control group), 250µM PA (group 1), or 500µM PA (group 2). Candidate TFs among the three groups were determined by significant changes according to t-test, and pathway enrichment, western blot (WB) and RT-qPCR were then performed.Results: Fifty-one TFs showing with significant p value were identified, and 24 TFs with significant p value plus fold change > 2 and with dose-dependence were identified with 12 TFs biologically validated in former studies. Two of the remaining 12 novel TFs, v-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene family protein G (MAFG) and v-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene family protein F (MAFF), were matched to AS known signalling pathways and were validated by WB and RT-qPCR in our study.Conclusions: We identified MAFG and MAFF as novel candidate key TFs in vascular endothelial cell apoptosis, which is the key initial process of AS.

The circulatory inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is increased in pathologic conditions that initiate or exacerbate vascular endothelial injury, such as diabetes. Protein kinase C (PKC) has been shown to play a critical role in TNF-α-induced human endothelial cell apoptosis. However, the relative roles played by specific isoforms of PKC in TNF-α-induced human endothelial cell apoptosis have not been addressed. We investigated the effects of a selective PKCβ2 inhibitor (CGP53353) on TNF-α-induced apoptosis in human vascular endothelial cells (cell line ECV304) and on the production of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide, and compared its effects with rottlerin, a reagent that has been shown to reduce PKCδ protein levels. Cultured human vascular endothelial cells (ECV304) were treated for 24 h with one of 4 regimes: 40 ng/mL TNF-α alone (TNF-α), TNF-α with 10 µmol/L rottlerin (T+rottlerin), TNF-α with 1 µmol/L CGP53353 (T+CGP), or untreated (control). Cell viability was measured by MTT assay, and cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. TNF-α-induced endothelial cell apoptosis was associated with dramatic increases in production of intracellular hydrogen peroxide (approximately 20 times greater than control) and superoxide (approximately 16 times greater than control), as measured by dichlorofluorescein and dihydroethidium fluorescent staining, respectively. This increase was accompanied by reduced activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase and, subsequently, an increase in the lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde. CGP53353, but not rottlerin, abolished or attenuated all these changes. We conclude that PKCβ2 plays a major role in TNF-α-induced human vascular endothelial cell apoptosis.

In patients with cerebral infarction (CI), elevated serum uric acid (UA) level may exacerbate the occurrence and development of carotid atherosclerosis (AS). Our study intended to explore the underlying mechanism. We enrolled 86 patients with CI, and divided them into four groups: Non-AS, AS-mild, AS-moderate, and AS-severe groups; the levels of UA and oxidative stress-related factors in serum were detected. The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was used to stimulate CI in rats, and different doses of UA were administrated. The levels of oxidative stress-related factors in serum were detected. Hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining was used to observe the morphological alterations, and the apoptotic cell death detection kit was used to detect apoptotic cells. Increased UA concentration and enhanced oxidative stress were found in AS patients. H&E staining results showed that UA treatment exacerbated morphological damage in rats with MCAO, promoted oxidative stress, and enhanced vascular endothelial cell apoptosis in rats with MCAO.
