目的探讨染料木黄酮(genistein,Gen)抑制血管内皮细胞的分子机制。方法人脐静脉内皮细胞(human umbilical vein endothelial cells,HUVECs)经血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)预处理后,给予1、10、100μmol/Gen,利用酶链免疫吸附测定(ELISA)法检测基质金属蛋白酶-2/-9(matrix metalloproteinase-2/-9,MMP-2/9)及其抑制剂基质金属蛋白酶抑制因子(TIMP-)2/9的表达,蛋白免疫印迹法检测丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)表达,胶原蛋白酶分析试剂盒检测溶胶原和明胶分解活性。结果 VEGF能促进HUVECs MMP-2/9的分泌和活性,上调氨基端激酶(JNK)和p38表达。Gen能降低MMP-2/9的分泌和活性,下调JNK和p38表达。结论 Gen可通过抑制MAPK活性,减少MMPs的生成,从而阻断VEGF诱导的内皮细胞活化。
Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the activation inhibition of vascular endothelial cell induced by genistein.Methods The human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) were treated with genistein of 1,10,100 μmol/L after treated with vascular endothelial grouth factor(VEGF),then the expression of(MMP-2/-9 and TIMP-2/-9 were analyzed by ELISA method,MAPK expression(JNK,p38,ERK1/2) was detected with Western blot,and the collagenolytic and gelatinolytic activity were measured with collagenase assay kit and type IV collagenase assay kit.Results Stimulation of HUVECs by VEGF augmented matrix metalloproteinase-2/-9(MMP-2/-9) secretions and increased MMP-2/-9 activities,up-regulated the JNK and p38 expression.Treatment of ECs with genistein decreased production and inhibited activity of matrix metalloproteinases(MMP-2/-9),and down-regulated the JNK and p38 expression.Conclusions Genistein interrupt the VEGF-sitmulated endothelial cell activation through inactivating MAPK,and decreasing the production of MMPs.
