ABSTRACT
AIM:
To investigate the role of p38 MAPK/ATF-2 pathway in C-relative protein ( CRP)-induced endothelial cell activation.METHODS:
Human coronary artery endothelial cells ( HCAEC) were cultured and were used between passages 3 and 7.CRP served as a stimulus for endothelial cell activation.Western blotting was performed to de-termine the expression and phosphorylation of eNOS, p38 and ATF2.ELISA was carried out to detect the levels of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and MCP-1 released from HCAEC.Pharmacological p38 inhibitors SB203580 and SB202190 were used to de-termine the effect of p38/ATF-2 pathway.RESULTS:
CRP reduced the p-eNOS level in a concentration-dependent man-ner and induced the release of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and MCP-1.The p38/ATF-2 pathway was activated by CRP treatment. SB203580 and SB202190 partially rescued p-eNOS level and suppressed the secretion of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and MCP-1.CONCLUSION:
p38MAPK/ATF-2 pathway participates in CRP-induced endothelial activation.
