Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Previous studies exhibit that stilbene glucoside, which is the main active component of poygonum multiflorum root, has effects of reducing blood lipid, anti-atherosclerosis and protection of cardiovascular. Active oxygen can result in lipid over-oxidation injuries, lead to the changes of cellular transport function or enzyme properties, accordingly, lose the regulating function on ion channels.

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the effect of stilbene glucoside on hypoxia-reoxygenation injury of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING:

The randomized controlled experiment based on HUVECs was performed at the Experiment Center of Molecular Biology from April to October 2006.

MATERIALS:

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells line.

METHODS:

The HUVECs were injured by hypoxia reoxygenation. The intervention experiment was divided into the control, hypoxia-reoxygenation and stilbene glucoside groups, with each group were repeated for 6 times. In the hypoxia-reoxygenation group, HUVECs were hypoxia for 3 hours, following reoxygenation 2 hours. The stilbene glucoside group was assigned into pretreatment and treatment sub-groups, with 10 ng/L, 5 ng/L and 2.5 ng/L co-cultured with HUVECs prior to or after hypoxia-reoxygenation injury, respectively. HUVECs exposed to normoxia were served as the control group.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

The cell viability was detected by MTT method. Total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), as well as nitrogen monoxidum (NO) was measured by UV-1206 ultraviolet absorption spectrometer.

RESULTS:

Stilbene glucoside could increase the cell viability, decrease lactate dehydrogenase activety and MDA concentration; lift the T-AOC, SOD activity, as well as NO concentration in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.01). The effect in the treatment was significant than the pretreatment group.

CONCLUSION:

Stilbene glucoside protects HUVECs against hypoxia-reoxygenation injury, which has superior therapeutical effect to that of prevention.
