摘要
目的研究高游离脂肪酸(FFA)血症对大鼠血管内皮细胞一氧化氮合酶(eNOS)活性及表达的影响并探讨其可能的机制。方法雄性SD大鼠随机分成对照组和FFA组。对照组及FFA组大鼠分别经颈静脉插管输入生理盐水或20%脂肪乳+肝素6h。输液结束后采集血清标本测定血中FFA、活性氧(ROS)、脂质过氧化产物丙二醛(MDA)、还原性谷胱甘肽(GSH)、高敏C反应蛋白(hs-CRP)以及NO水平。处死动物后取出主动脉,测定主动脉内皮细胞匀浆液中eNOS活性及eNOS mRNA水平。结果FFA组血FFA水平较对照组升高2~4倍,血清NOx水平明显降低,内皮细胞eNOS活性及mRNA水平明显低于对照组。FFA组血清ROS、MDA以及hsCRP水平明显升高,GSH水平降低。结论高FFA血症可抑制内皮细胞eNOS活性及表达,其机制可能涉及FFA所诱导的炎症反应和氧化应激。
Objective To test the hypothesis that free fatty acids (FFA) induced endothelial dysfunction might relate with the inhibitions of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) mRNA expression and activity, and to explore the possible pathogenic mechanisms. Methods Male SD rats underwent 6 h infusion in two groups: Normal control (NC, n= 20) infused with saline; FFA group (n=20) infused with 20% intralipid + heparin. Blood samples were collected at the end of infusion so as to measure the concentrations of FFA, nitrogen oxides (NOx), reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). The eNOS activity and mRNA expression were analyzed with aortic endothelial homogenate. Results In FFA group, the plasma FFA concentration was higher [(1146.4± 336. 6) μmol/L vs (345.5±113. 6) μmol/L, P〈0. 01] while the NOx level was lower [(14.3±1.9) μmol/L vs (19. 3± 2. 9) μmol/L, P〈0. 01]. The serum concentrations of ROS, MDA, hs-CRP were elevated in FFA group when compared with controls [ROSs (864, 3± 135. 4) mmol/L vs (452. 4± 90. 5) mmol/L, P〈0. 05; MDA: (8. 05± 1.69) nmol/L vs (5. 53±0. 43) noml/L, P〈0. 05; hs-CRP: (0. 35±0. 04) mg/L vs (0. 21±0. 03) mg/L, P〈 0. 05] while GSH level was significantly declined in FFA group [(153. 1±55. 9) mg/L vs (171.9± 60.5) mg/L, P 〈0. 05]. Both the eNOS mRNA level and eNOS activity in endothelial homogenate were decreased in FFA group [eNOS mRNA/β-actin: 1.42 vs 2.12, P〈0. 01; eNOS activity: (1.15±0. 42) pmol/(min·mg) vs (2.43± 0. 56) pmol/(min·mg), P〈0. 01]. Conclusion The eNOS mRNA expression and activity may be inhibited by elevated circulating FFAs concentration, of which mechanisms may be related to the increased oxidative stress and moderate inflammation.
