چکیده
Objective: There is escalating evidence suggesting the beneficial effects of ellagic acid (EA) on the cardiovascular system. The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of EA in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) against high glucose (HG)- induced endothelial dysfunction and to study the potential roles of adropin and nitric oxide (NO) in this regard.Materials and Methods: The experimental groups consisted of normal and HG (۳۰ mM, ۴۸ hr)-treated HUVECs incubated without or with ۵ or ۱۰ μM of EA (۶ groups of at least ۶ replicates, each). The cell count and viability were studied. Moreover, the markers of the redox state, including malondialdehyde (MDA), the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase enzymes, and ferric reducing anti-oxidant power (FRAP), were assayed. The levels of adropin and eNOS gene expression were also studied using RT-qPCR.Results: A high concentration of glucose reduced cell count and caused lipid peroxidation, reduced anti-oxidant capacity of the cells, decreased NO levels, and downregulated the expression of NOS۳ (encoding eNOS) and ENHO (encoding adropin) genes. Ellagic acid reversed all these effects.Conclusion: These results suggest a significant protective effect for EA against HG-induced injury in HUVECs. The improved redox state and upregulation of NOS۳ and ENHO genes seem to play critical roles in this regard.کلیدواژه ها
