The Injury Induced By High Glucose And With The Correlation Of SelS And PKC Signal Transduction Pathway

Objective: The human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)were used for experiment. The cells were dealed with 5.5mM,20mM,20mM/5.5mM glucose respectively. Treated cells was observed in different oxidative stress indicators(MDA and SOD). SelS,PKCαand PKCβ2 in the differences of protein and mRNA expression were also detected. To research whether the damage effection of high glucose on HUVEC was through PKC pathway and the relationship between SelS and PKC. To provide new experimental evidence for endothelial cell protection strategy.Method:1.The cells were treated with DMEM culture media containing 5.5mM(Normal group,NG),20mM(High glucose group,HG),5.5 and 20mM(Intermittent glucose group,IG,which dealt with 5.5 and 20mM glucose) and 14.5 mM mannito(lMannitol group,MG)respectively on every day.After a culture of 48 hours,7days and 14days respectively,the changes in cell morphology and the level of MDA and SOD in the supernatant of each group was measured.2.HUVECs was devided into four groups:NG,HG,IG and MG. After a culture of 2 days,7days and 14days respectively,the mRNA level of SelS,PKCαand PKCβ2 were detected in each group by real-time PCR.3.The same condition was given to four groups,after a culture of 48 hours,7days and 14days respectively,the protein level of SelS,PKCαand PKCβ2 were measured in every group by western blot.Result:1.Cell morphology:After 2 days,cells in NG and MG were observed with clear outline,most fusiform. Cytoplasmic and nucleus were visible. Cells in HG were observed with increased volume,cobblestone-like,increased cytoplasmic and small black scattered.
