OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of scutellarin(SCU),which is the main effective component of Erigeron breviscapus(Vant.)Hand-Mazz native to Yunnan in China,on vascular dysfunction(VD)of cardiac coronary artery(CA)...OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of scutellarin(SCU),which is the main effective component of Erigeron breviscapus(Vant.)Hand-Mazz native to Yunnan in China,on vascular dysfunction(VD)of cardiac coronary artery(CA)and cerebral basilar artery(BA)caused by hypertension in SHR rats.METHODS 1.BA and CA vesselsrings from 40 weeks of SHR rats were isolated and equilibrated in organ bath with MOPS-PSS buffer and ring tension was recorded,comparing with a normal control of WKY rats.SCU was treated accumulatively after pre-contracted with vasoconstrictor U46619(1μmol·L-1).2.ACH and SNP were treated accumulatively after pre-incubation with SCU(300μmol·L-1,100μmol·L-1)and pre-contracted by U46619(1μmol·L-1),K+60mmol·L-1,respectively.While U46619 was added accumulatively to BA/CA rings pre-incubated with SCU(300and 100μmol·L-1).ACH-induced relaxation rate was to evaluate endothelium-dependent relaxation,and SNP-induced relaxation rate to evaluate the artery non-endothelium-dependent relaxation.RESULTS SCU significantly dilated both BA and CA rings pre-contracted by U46619 in old rats.EC50 value of SCU in WKY ratswas less than that in SHR(P<0.05),which showing VD of CA and BA in SHR rats.Compared with WKY group,ACH relaxation curve of SHR group shifted to the right,suggesting that hypertension induced VD.When SCU 300μmol·L-1 pre-treated CA groups and SCU 100μmol·L-1 pre-treated BA groups,EC50 to ACH was significantly lower(P<0.05).Likewise,the vasodilatation of CA/BA rings to SNP was also improved obviously when pre-treated with SCU,and Emax to SNP was decreased significantly(P<0.05).Moreover,EC50 to U46619was significantly lower when pre-treated by SCU.CONCLUSION In SHR rats,SCU antagonized U46619 on CA/BA rings in a noncompetitive manner.Furthermore,SCU should appear to protect VD induced by hypertension.展开更多
OBJECTIVE This study discusses the effects of scutellarin(SCU),which is one of effective component of Erigeron breviscapus(Vant.)Hand-Mazz,on cGMP dependent protein kinase(PKG)in human cardiac microvascular endothelia...OBJECTIVE This study discusses the effects of scutellarin(SCU),which is one of effective component of Erigeron breviscapus(Vant.)Hand-Mazz,on cGMP dependent protein kinase(PKG)in human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells(HCMECs)after hypoxia roxygenation(HR).METHODS Based on a model of HCMECs cells with HR injury,cell viability is examined by MTT assay.Protein expression of PKG is analyzed by Western blotting and its enzyme activity is investigated by ELISA technology.RESULTS The results of MTT assay- indicate that SCU(1,10μmol·L1)could protect HCMECs against HR injury.SCU(0.1,1 and 10μmol·L-1)canenhance PKG-I expression in control and HR injury cells.Furthermore,SCU(1,10μmol·L-1 significantly increase PKG activity in control cells(P<0.01),and also SCU(100μmol·L-1)appears similar on enzyme activity in HR injury cells(P <0.05).CONCLUSION SCU appears protective effects on endothelial cells against HR damage.While its mechanisms may be related to the influence of SCU on PKG activity in HCMECs.展开更多
