Methods The mRNA level in integrin β3 was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Endothelial NF-κB activity was determined by the luciferase activity assay of plasmid NF-κB-LUC. Results The angiotensin Ⅱ- induced β3 integrin mRNA expression was inhibited by α-zearalenol and 17β-estradiol （10nmol/L ^-1 μmol/L）, but not influenced by ICI 182, 780, a pure competitive antagonist for estrogen receptor or a nitric oxide inhibitor N^ω-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride. Alpha-zearalenol and 17β-estradiol suppressed the angiotensin Ⅱ-induced activation of NF-κB in endothelial cells.
