Abstract:

Objective To investigate the regulation mechanism of gastrodin (Gas) on atutophagy of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods Gas at 5, 10, 20 and 50μmol/L was added 1h before 1mg/L LPS stimulation, after 12h incubation. The protein and mRNA expression of Beclin-1, ATG5 and LC3 were detected by Western blottingting and RT-PCR respectively. The autophagosome was observed under fluorescent microscope by monodansylcadaverine (MDC) staining. Cell viability rate was measured by MTT analysis. Results Autophagy was induced in HUVECs by LPS-stimulation. The protein and mRNA expression of Beclin-1, ATG5 and LC3 were significantly increased,which was in a time-dependent manner. Compared with LPS-stimulated group, pertreatment with Gas inhibited the expression of autophagy in dose-dependent manner and the cell viability was effectively increased. Conclusion Autophagy was induced in HUVECs by LPS-stimulation. Gas may increase the viability rate of HUVECs through inhibiting the expression of autophagy.
