In this study,cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) were transfected with CYP2C8 or pretreated with exogenous EETs(1 μmol/L) before TNF-α(20 ng/m L) stimulation. Apoptosis and intracellular ROS production were determined by flow cytometry. The expression levels of ROS-associated NAD(P)H subunits gp91 and p47,the anti-oxidative enzyme catalase(CAT),Nrf2,heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase(e NOS) were detected by Western blotting. The results showed that CYP2C8-derived EETs decreased apoptosis of HUVECs treated with TNF-α. Pretreatment with 11,12-EET also significantly blocked TNF-α-induced ROS production. In addition,11,12-EET decreased oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. Furthermore,the ability of 11,12-EET to protect cells against TNF-α-induced apoptosis via oxidative stress was abrogated by transient transfection with Nrf2-specific small interfering RNA(si RNA). In conclusion,CYP2C8-derived EETs prevented TNF-α-induced HUVECs apoptosis via inhibition of oxidative stress associated with the Nrf2 signaling.展开更多

From January 2007 to January 2014, a total of 928 consecutive AAD patients who were admitted within 48 h after the onset of symptoms were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether serum HDL-C level was below the normal lower limit or not. The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to identify the predictive value of HDL-C for in-hospital mortality in patients with AAD. As compared with normal HDL-C group(n=585), low HDL-C group(n=343) had lower levels of systolic blood pressure and hemoglobin and higher levels of leukocyte, alanine aminotransferase, blood glucose, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and urea acid. Low HDL-C group had significantly higher in-hospital mortality than normal HDL-C group(21.6% vs. 12.6%, log-rank=10.869, P=0.001). After adjustment for baseline variables including demographics and biologic data, the increased risk of in-hospital mortality in low HDL-C group was substantially attenuated and showed no significant difference(adjusted hazard ratio, 1.23; 95% confidence interval, 0.86–1.77; P=0.259). Low HDL-C is strongly but not independently associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with AAD.展开更多
