RT-PCR was carried out to determine DSGl and DSC2 expression in m RNA, respectively.Transendothelial permeability was enhanced by ox LP(a) dose and time dependently. The most marked effect appeared at a concentration of 100 mg/L, Transendothelial permeability reached the maximum value after 2 h of FITC-dextran addition, and then gradually decreased after 4 h. ox Lp(a) induces the generation of cellular reactive oxygen species(ROS), and this effect could be inhibited by superoxide dismutase(SOD).Incubation of HUVECs with ox Lp(a) resulted in a dose and time-dependent down-regulation of DSGl and DSC2 expression at transcriptional level. Conclusion:Permeability of monolayer endothelial cells was enhanced by ox Lp(a) which is related to up-regulating ROS formation and down-regulating desmogleins expression.展开更多
