Abstract
- Objective: To study the effect of angiotensin-(1-7)[Ang-(1-7)]on fibrinolytic imbalance induced by oxidized low- density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).<br />Method: Cultured HUVECs were incubated for 24 h in the presence of Ang-(1-7), ox-LDL and A-779 at different concentrations either separately or in combination. The final concentrations of Ang-(1-7) were 10, 100 and 1,000 nmol/L, and those of ox-LDL were 25, 50 and 100 mg protein/L. The final concentration of A-779, an Ang-(1-7) receptor antagonist, was 100 nmol/L. Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and its inhibitor-1(PAI-1) antigen in the medium were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and their mRNA levels by reverse transcriptional (RT) PCR.<br />Results: Ox-LDL (25-100 mg protein/L) dose-dependently increased PAI-1 release and up-regulated PAI-1 gene transcription, but decreased t-PA release and down-regulated t-PA gene transcription (P>0.001-0.05). Ang-(1-7) (100-1,000 nmol/L) dose-dependently decreased PAI-1 release and PAI-1 gene transcription (P>0.01-0.05) but had no effect on t-PA release and gene transcription. In the presence of ox-LDL, Ang-(1-7) lowered the increased levels of PAI-1 and PAI-1 mRNA, and elevated the levels of decreased t-PA and t-PA mRNA in the cells (P>0.01-0.05). The effects of Ang-(1-7) could be blocked by A-779.<br />Conclusion: Angiotensin-(1-7) effectively modulates the fibrinolytic imbalance induced by ox-LDL via its specific receptor.
