ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the expression and cellular localization of nucleolin C23 during human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)).@*METHODS@#Apoptosis of HUVEC was induced by exposure to 0.5 mmol/L H(2)O(2) for different periods and detected by flow cytometry and activity of caspase-3. The mRNA and protein expression of nucleolin were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot, respectively. The intracellular distribution of nucleolin was observed by indirect immunofluorescence.@*RESULTS@#The percentage of apoptotic cells was increased significantly after treatment with H(2)O(2) for 12, 24 and 36 hours. The activity of caspase-3 reached the peak after treatment with H(2)O(2) for 4 h. RT-PCR showed that nucleolin C23 mRNA was decreased after 2, 4, and 8 hours treatment with H(2)O(2). Western blot showed that C23 protein level was decreased after 12 hours with an additional cleft band of 80 kD appeared after 8 hours. Density analysis showed that the 80 kD cleft band increased in a time-dependent manner. Immunofluorescence analysis demonstrated that H(2)O(2)-induced C23 redistribution from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.@*CONCLUSION@#H(2)O(2) could induce apoptosis accompanying with C23-cleavage and C23-translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
