Abstract:

BACKGROUND: We have found that Xingnaojing can effectively inhibit mediators of inflammatory mediators and promote fibrinolytic activity in a rabbit model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. However, it is not completely clear what is the action of mechanism of fibrinolytic system activity in human umbilical vein endothelial cells.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Xingnaojing on recombinant human tumor necrosis factor α-mediated tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) expression in human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells.
METHODS: The passages 3-5 of human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells were obtained, and were induced by adding 10 μg/L recombinant human tumor necrosis factor α in the culture medium. Xingnaojing in different concentrations (5, 10, 20 mL/L) were injected in the Xingnaojing group, and fluvastatin (1 μmol/L) was added as positive control group. A blank control group of simple human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells culture was set up. After 24 hours of cultivation, the production of t-PA and PAI-1 in the cultured medium was determined by ELISA. The mRNA expression of t-PA and PAI-1 was measured by reverse transcript-PCR.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the blank control group, the secretion and mRNA expression of PAI-1 in the group treated with recombinant human tumor necrosis factor α (10 μg/L) were significantly increased (P < 0.05); however, the secretion and mRNA expression of t-PA in the group treated with recombinant human tumor necrosis factor α (10 μg/L) were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The secretion and mRNA expression of t-PA were significantly higher in the Xingnaojing group at different concentrations than in the recombinant human tumor necrosis factor α group (P < 0.05); however, the secretion and mRNA expression of PAI-1 were significantly lower in the former group than the latter group (P < 0.05), which was in a dose-dependent manner. Xingnaojing can effectively improve the fibrinolytic function of human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells mediated by recombinant human tumor necrosis factor α.
