Abstract:
:NADPH oxidases (NOX) - derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to oxidative injury in hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension. This study aims to evaluate the status of NOX in endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) under hypoxic condition and to determine whether NOX inhibitors could attenuate hypoxia-induced dysfunctions of EPCs. EPCs were isolated from peripheral blood of SD rats and subjected to hypoxia (O2/N2/CO2, 1/94/5) for 24 h. The cells were collected for β-galactosidase or Hoechst staining, or for functional analysis (migration, adhesion and tube formation). The NOX expression, activity and H2O2 content in EPCs were measured. The results showed that hypoxia treatment promoted EPC senescence and apoptosis, accompanied by the deteriorated functions of EPCs (the reduced abilities in adhesion, migration and tube formation), as well as an increase in NOX2 and NOX4 expression, NOX activity and H2O2 production, these phenomena were attenuated by NOX inhibitors. Furthermore, administration of catalase could also improve the functions of hypoxia-treated EPCs. Based on these observations, we conclude that NOX-derived ROS contributes to the dysfunctions of EPCs under hypoxic condition. Thus, suppression of NOX may provide a novel strategy to improve endothelial functions in hypoxia-relevant diseases.
