摘要
在体内 ,内皮细胞的功能不仅受化学因子的调节 ,而且还受力学因素的影响。为探讨流体切应力和溶血磷脂酰胆碱 ( L ysophosphatidylcholine,L yso- PC)的双重作用对培养的人脐静脉内皮细胞 ( Hum an um bilical veinendothelial cells,HU VECs)表面黏附分子 ICAM- 1、VCAM- 1、E- selectin表达的影响 ,采用流式细胞仪技术检测了L yso- PC( 3 0 μg/m l)和流体切应力 ( 2 .2 3、4.2 0 dyne/cm2 )的协同作用下内皮细胞黏附分子表达的变化。结果显示 :在受剪切作用之前 ,用 L yso- PC孵育激活内皮细胞 ,或预先剪切后再用 L yso- PC孵育 ,内皮细胞的 ICAM- 1和VCAM- 1表达与两种刺激同时作用相比 ,显著增加 ( P<0 .0 5 ) ;切应力或 L yso- PC的单独作用 ,以及两种刺激同时存在对 HU VEC的 E- selectin表达无显著影响。而在受剪切作用之前 ,用 L yso- PC孵育激活内皮细胞 ,或预先剪切后再用 L yso- PC孵育 ,内皮细胞的 E- selectin表达与两种刺激同时作用相比 ,显著增加 ( P<0 .0 5 )。结论认为 :即使在不利于细胞黏附的力学环境中 ,流体切应力与 L yso- PC的协同作用 。
Extensive monocyte recruitment is an early phenomenon associated with the development of atherosclerotic lesion. Although the molecular mechanisms are not completely understood, monocyte recruitment into these early lesions may involve changes in endothelial adhesion for monocyte, in which adhesion molecules expressed by endothelial cell play an active role. In vivo, the function of endothelial cells is not only affected by the chemical factors, but also by the mechanical factors. The purpose of this article was to investigate the induction of adhesion molecules expression by synergistic effects of Lysophosphatidylcholine (Lyso-PC) and shear stress in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). The surface expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin on HUVEC induced by Lyso-PC(30 μg/ml) and shear stress(2.23,4.20 dyne/cm 2) were analyzed using flow cytometry. The results showed that: Compared with what were simultaneously exposed to shear stress and Lyso-PC, activating the cells with Lyso-PC prior to shear stress, or pre-conditioning the cells exposed shear stress prior to Lyso-PC incubation, a significantly higher expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1( P< 0.05) was resulted. HUVEC were exposed to shear stress and Lyso-PC at the same time or treated with each agonist alone, E-selectin expression was not significantly different from the control group. However, a sequential action of the two stimuli significantly increased E-selectin expression( P< 0.05). We concluded that: a sequential action of the shear stress and Lyso-PC induced an even greater expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, thus it could be understood that the flowshear stress in combination with endothelial activated by chemical factors may increase the ability of endothelial cells to recruit leukocytes even under the mechanical environment unfavorable for cell adhesion.
