Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of chrysin on atherosclerosis (AS) induced by high-fat diet in rabbits. Methods Twenty-four male rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: normal control group, model control group, and chrysin group, with 8 rabbits in each group.Rabbits in the model control group and chrysin group were given high fat diet to establish atherosclerosis model.Rabbits in chrysin group were given 25 mg·kg-1 of chrysin, and rabbits in normal control group and model control group were given equal volume of 0.5% of sodium carboxyl methyl cellulose. After 8 weeks of administration, serum lipid levels, aortic pathological changes, aortic superoxide anion (O2·-) levels, and oxidative stress status were observed. Results Compared with model control group, the serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in chrysin group were significantly reduced (P<0.05), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level was increased (P<0.05), and the pathological changes of aorta were alleviated, and the aortic O2·- level (P<0.05) and MDA level were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and SOD activity was significantly increased (P<0.05). Conclusion Chrysin has a significant intervention effect on AS induced by high-fat diet in rabbits.Regulation of the blood lipids and inhibition of aortic oxidative stress may be one of the anti-AS mechanisms of chrysin.

动脉粥样硬化(atherosclerosis,AS)诱导的心血管疾病(cardiovascular diseases,CVD)是造成人类死亡的重要原因。据《中国心血管病报告2017》数据显示,我国目前CVD患者约为2.9亿例,同时,我国每年死于CVD约350万例,占总死亡原因41%,居各种疾病之首[1]。目前认为AS是一种脂质沉积于血管壁的慢性炎症疾病[2],在AS病理过程中,除了血管局部的炎症反应和脂质沉积外,氧化应激也在AS发生、发展过程中起到至关重要的作用。

白杨素是一种从紫藏科植物木蝴蝶中提取的天然黄酮类化合物,具有抗癌、抗氧化应激、抑制炎症反应和降低血糖等广泛的药理学作用。体外研究发现,白杨素能显著减轻过氧化氢(H2O2)诱导的人脐静脉内皮细胞氧化应激损伤,抑制细胞间粘附分子-1(intercellular adhesion molecule-1,ICAM-1)和血管间粘附分子-1(vascular adhesion molecule-1,VCAM-1)基因表达,上调细胞一氧化氮(nitric oxide,NO)合成[3]。笔者在本实验拟通过高脂饮食诱导的家兔AS模型观察和分析白杨素在整体水平下对AS的干预作用及机制,为充分挖掘白杨素药理学作用提供一定的理论和实验依据。

3 讨论

AS发病机制复杂,涉及多种风险因素和递质,循环胆固醇水平异常至今仍被认为是AS重要的病理诱因之一,尤其是LDL和HDL[4]。目前认为,升高的血清TG和LDL及降低的HDL具有显著的促AS作用[5]。在促AS饮食喂养的白化Wistar大鼠模型中发现,白杨素能显著降低AS模型大鼠血清TC、TG和LDL-C,升高HDL-C,并显著减轻胸主动脉中膜层损伤和外膜层厚度[6]。笔者在本研究发现,白杨素能显著降低AS家兔血清TC、TG和LDL-C水平,升高HDL-C,减轻AS家兔主动脉组织病理学变化。

氧化应激同样也参与AS发生发展。氧化应激能够导致活性氧物质(reactive oxygen species,ROS)异常增多和抗氧化系统失衡。增多的ROS能够诱导血管内皮细胞功能紊乱,平滑肌细胞增殖和巨噬细胞募集及炎症因子释放等一系列脂质斑块形成的病理事件[7]。O2·-是ROS主要组成物质之一,其降解主要由SOD先催化为过氧化氢,随后通过谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(glutathione peroxidase,GPx)和过氧化氢酶(catalase,CAT)分解为二氧化碳和水[8]。MDA主要由ROS降解多不饱和脂肪酸产生,其能造成细胞线粒体DNA损伤并加速AS发展[9]。体外实验发现,白杨素能显著抑制还原型烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸磷酸(nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate,NADPH)氧化酶诱导血管环O2·-水平[10]。体内实验发现,白杨素能显著提升高胆固醇血症Wistar大鼠血清和肝脏SOD活性,降低肝脏MDA水平[6,11]。本文发现,白杨素能显著降低AS家兔主动脉O2·-和MDA水平,升高主动脉SOD活性,抑制血管局部氧化应激。

本研究也存在部分不足之处:①初步阐明了白杨素可通过抑制血管氧化应激起到抗AS作用,白杨素通过何种机制发挥其抗氧化应激作用尚需进一步研究;②基于动物实验的“3R”原则,本研究中未设置阳性对照组,在下一步阐明白杨素抗AS作用机制的研究中,将设置阳性对照组进一步研究探讨。

本实验发现白杨素能显著改善AS家兔血清脂质异常,减轻主动脉组织病理学变化,降低主动脉O2·-水平,抑制主动脉氧化应激。上述发现表明,白杨素对高脂饮食诱导的AS具有显著的干预作用,调节血脂和抑制主动脉氧化应激可能是其抗AS作用机制之一。

Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease of the arterial wall, and a leading cause of death and loss of productive life years worldwide. Research into the disease has led to many compelling hypotheses about the pathophysiology of atherosclerotic lesion formation and of complications such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Yet, despite these advances, we still lack definitive evidence to show that processes such as lipoprotein oxidation, inflammation and immunity have a crucial involvement in human atherosclerosis. Experimental atherosclerosis in animals furnishes an important research tool, but extrapolation to humans requires care. Understanding how to combine experimental and clinical science will provide further insight into atherosclerosis and could lead to new clinical applications.

Over the past three decades, age-adjusted rates of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality have fallen in the United States, but the prevalence of obesity and associated metabolic disorders has risen dramatically. Recent studies have begun to unravel the complex linkages between adipose and vascular tissues that may accelerate the development of atherosclerosis in the context of obesity. Experimental models indicate that inflammation and oxidative stress, which mutually amplify each other within the vasculature and in visceral fat, are key processes that drive the initiation, progression, and subsequent rupture of the atherosclerotic lesion. Emerging research is further elucidating the contributions made by chemokines and their receptors, adipokines, and miRNAs to arterial disease. Translation of these basic science findings to clinical applications represents a tantalizing possibility for reducing the global burden of obesity-associated atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases.

BACKGROUND: Scutellarin is the major constituent responsible for the clinical benefits of Erigeron breviscapus (Vant.) Hand.-Mazz which finds a long history of ethnopharmacological use in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Scutellarin as a pure compound is now under investigation for its protections against various tissue injuries. PURPOSE: This study aims to examine the effects of scutellarin on oxidative stress-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction and endothelial cell damage, and then to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of scutellarin in preventing atherosclerosis in rats. METHODS: Radical scavenging ability of scutellarin was determined in vitro. Impact of scutellarin on endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) of rabbit thoracic aortic rings upon 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) challenge was measured. Influences of scutellarin pre-treatment on the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), activities of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase and catalase, and the expression of SOD1 and NADPH oxidase 4 (Nox4) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) injured by H2O2 were examined. Anti-atherosclerotic effect of scutellarin was evaluated in rats fed with high fat diet (HFD). RESULTS: Scutellarin showed potent antioxidant activity in vitro. Pretreatment of scutellarin retained the EDR of rabbit thoracic aortic rings damaged by DPPH. In H2O2 injured-HUVECs the deleterious alterations in ROS levels and antioxidant enzymes activity were reversed by scutellarin and the mRNA and protein expression of SOD1 and Nox4 were restored also. Oral administration of scutellarin dose-dependently ameliorated hyperlipidemia in HFD-fed rats and alleviated oxidative stress in rat serum, mimicking the effects of reference drug atorvastatin. CONCLUSION: Scutellarin protects against oxidative stress-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction and endothelial cell damage in vitro and prevents atherosclerosis in vivo through antioxidation. The results rationalize further investigation into the clinical use of scutellarin in cardiovascular diseases.

In the present study, the effects of the bioflavonoid chrysin (5,7-dihydroxyflavone) were analysed on nitric oxide (NO) production from vascular endothelium. In aortic rings, incubation with chrysin or acetylcholine (both at 10 microM) increased L-NAME-sensitive endothelial NO release as measured using the fluorescent probe 4,5-diaminofluorescein diacetate (DAF-2 DA). Moreover, chrysin increased cGMP accumulation only in aortic rings with endothelium. However, at this concentration, chrysin had no effect either on basal or on NADPH-stimulated vascular superoxide production. Moreover, at this low concentration, chrysin, similar to acetylcholine, induced aortic relaxation, which was abolished by both endothelial deprivation and NO synthase inhibition. Endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by chrysin was unaltered by removal of extracellular calcium and incubation with the intracellular calcium chelator BAPTA, while the phosphatidylinositol (PI)-3 kinase inhibitor wortmannin suppressed the endothelial dependence. In conclusion, chrysin stimulated NO release from endothelial cells leading to vascular cGMP accumulation and subsequent endothelium dependent aortic relaxation. Chrysin-stimulated NO release is calcium independent and possibly mediated via PI3-kinase.

Hypercholesterolemia and oxidative stress are known to accelerate coronary artery disease and progression of atherosclerotic lesions. In the present study, an attempt was made to evaluate the putative antihypercholesterolemic and antioxidative effects of an ethanolic extract of the oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) and chrysin, one of its major components, in hypercholesterolemic rats. Hypercholesterolemia was induced in rats by a single intraperitoneal injection of Triton WR-1339 (300 mg/kg body weight (b.wt.)), which resulted in persistently elevated blood/serum levels of glucose, lipid profile parameters (total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein-, and very low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol), and of hepatic marker enzymes (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase). In addition, lowered mean activities of hepatic antioxidant enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase) and lowered mean levels of nonenzymatic antioxidants (reduced glutathione, vitamin C, and vitamin E) were observed. Oral administration of the mushroom extract (500 mg/kg b.wt.) and chrysin (200 mg/kg b.wt.) to hypercholesterolemic rats for 7 days resulted in a significant decrease in mean blood/serum levels of glucose, lipid profile parameters, and hepatic marker enzymes and a concomitant increase in enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidant parameters. The hypercholesterolemia-ameliorating effect was more pronounced in chrysin-treated rats than in extract-treated rats, being almost as effective as that of the standard lipid-lowering drug, lovastatin (10 mg/kg b.wt.). These results suggest that chrysin, a major component of the oyster mushroom extract, may protect against the hypercholesterolemia and elevated serum hepatic marker enzyme levels induced in rats injected with Triton WR-1339.
