ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the effects of aminoguanidine on methylglyoxal-mediated oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) injury in the cultured human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Cultured HBMEC cells were pretreated with methylglyoxal before oxygen-glucose deprivation injury. Cell vitality was determined by MTT method, cell mortality was assessed by LDH release method, cell apoptosis was examined by Annexin V/PI formation method, and the advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were detected by Western-blot.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Methylglyoxal induced HBMEC injury in a dose-dependent manner. At 2 mmol/L of methylglyoxal, the cell viability was 56.1% when methylglyoxal-pretreated cells exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation, the cell inhibition rate was 90.0%. Aminoguanidine (1 mmol/L) inhibited methylglyoxal and OGD induced LDH release and Annexin V/PI formation. Furthermore, aminoguanidine (1 mmol/L) also decreased advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation induced by methylglyoxal and oxygen-glucose deprivation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Aminoguanidine protected methylglyoxal mediated-oxygen-glucose deprivation injury in the cultured HBMEC, which may be associated with anti-glycation activity.</p>
