ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects,mechanisms,and the optimum doses of Rosuvastatin and Losartan on expression of caveolin-1 in cultured human monocyte-macrophage cells which were induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein(ox-LDL).Methods Human-monocyte cells were separated and changed into the human monocyte-macrophage cells.The model of amerosclerosis was set up.These cells were incubated in different doses of Rosuvastatin(0.1,1.0,5.0 μmol/L) and Losartan (10,50,100 μmol/L),and then cultured in combination of two drags (5.0 μmol/L + 100 μmol/L).Expression of caveolin-1 mRNA was determined with real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results In ox-LDL group,caveolin-1 mRNA was decreased sharply relative to control group [(0.2533 ±0.00973) vs (0.9410 ±0.03677)] in a concentration-dependent manner (P ＜0.01).Compared to ox-LDL group,expressions of Caveolin-1 mRNA were increased gradually in different doses of Rosuvastatin alone and Losartan alone group [(0.5198 ± 0.04840),(0.6183 ± 0.06740),(0.7257 ± 0.03052) vs (0.2533 ± 0.00973) ; (0.3350 ± 0.04177),(0.4428 ± 0.03804),(0.6049 ± 0.02627) vs (0.2533 ± 0.00973)] in a concentration-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.01) ; the summit expressions of caveolin-1 mRNA were emerged in using Rosuvastatin and Losartan together (F =59.119,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Rosuvastatin and Losartan may be responsible for the expression of caveolin-1 in human monocyte-macrophage cells that were induced by ox-LDL.The expressions were up-regulated with dose dependent manner of these drugs,and got the crest stage when using optimum doses of Rosuvastatin and Losartan together.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of different doses of rosuvastatin on expression of tissue factor(TF) in cultured human monocyte-macrophage cells which were induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL).Methods The human monocyte-macrophage cells were divided into seven groups:control group,ox-LDL group,poly-insine monophosphate group,different doses of rosuvastatin group(0.01 μmol/L,0.1 μmol/L,1 μmol/L,5 μmol/L).The expression of LOX-1 mRNA and TF mRNA was assayed by RT-PCR.The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to determine the protein concentration of TF.Results Effects of different doses of rosuvastatin on expressions of LOX-1mRNA,TF mRNA and TF in cultured human monocyte-macrophage cells induced by ox-LDL:comparison among seven groups,the difference was statistically significant (F =91.334,58.833,103.552,P ＜0.05).Compared with control group,the expressions of LOX-1 mRNA,TF mRNA and TF were increased in the ox-LDL group[(3.25156 ± 0.15772) vs (1 ±0) ;(2.522451 ±0.138967) vs (1 ±0) ;(207.7233± 1.154701)ng/L vs (184.8467 ± 0.871799)ng/L],and they were in a concentration-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the PolyⅠ group and the different doses of rosuvastatin group,the expressions of LOX-1 mRNA,TF mRNA and TF were in the ox-LDL group,and the different doses of rosuvastatin were decreased by dose-dependent manner.It was in a concentration dependent manner (P ＜ 0.05).Different doses of rosuvastatin were compared between groups (between each group P ＜ 0.05),the difference between each two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions LOX-1 may be responsible for the expression of TF in Human monocyte-macrophage cells induced by ox-LDL.Rosuvastatin by dose dependent manner and by means of ox-LDL reduced monocyte-macrophage LOX-1 mRNA and TF mRNA expressions,which reduced expression of TF.
