Effect of advanced glycation end products on oxidative stress in endothelial cells in culture: a warning on the use of cells studied in serum-free media.

Abstract：

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS:Alterations in vascular permeability and oxidative stress are characteristics of endothelial dysfunction in diabetic vascular disease. Since AGE-proteins have been hypothesized to mediate these effects, we studied the effects of AGE-bovine serum albumin on endothelial monolayer permeability and intracellular glutathione. METHODS:AGE-BSA was prepared by incubating BSA for 30 days at 37 degrees C with 0.5 mol/l glucose and 0.2 mol/l phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. Permeability to fluorescently labelled BSA was assessed in a bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cell monolayer preparation. Glutathione was measured by an enzymatic assay. RESULTS:AGE-BSA concentrations greater than 3 to 4 micromol/l produced maximal increases in permeability (6-8 times basal) within 3 to 4 h of incubation with the cells. This effect persisted for at least 48 h. However, BSA incubated in the absence of glucose produced similar effects. Dialysis of the AGE-BSA showed that low molecular weight components contained the permeability-increasing activity. Phosphate buffer used to prepare the AGE-BSA, at concentrations equivalent to those present in phosphate-buffered saline and in the AGE preparation (approximately 5 mmol/l), produced similar permeability increases at equivalent incubation times. Metal chelators (0.5 mmol/l) or inclusion of fetal bovine serum (10-20 %) blocked these permeability increases. These increases in permeability were associated with a decrease in endothelial glutathione, both inhibited by 10 mmol/l N-acetylcysteine, and a loss of cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix adhesion molecules. CONCLUSION/INTERPRETATION:Trace amounts of redox-active metal ions in biological buffers could induce oxidative stress and alterations in cellular functions attributed to AGE-proteins in vitro. It is important to use metal-free phosphate and bicarbonate buffers in studies on cell biology in vitro, especially in serum-free media.
