Abstract：
:Water-borne arsenicosis is caused by the consumption of excess levels of inorganic arsenic from drinking water and is a worldwide public health issue. Arsenic exposure has recently attracted extensive attention due to its damage to the cardiovascular system. Vascular endothelial dysfunction (VED) is recognized as an important cause of cardiovascular diseases. Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) plays an important role in maintaining endothelial function, and our previous studies suggested that PEDF may have role in arsenic-induced damage. In the present study, we established subchronic arsenic exposure (3 months) rat model from drinking water at doses of 0, 2 mg/L, 10 mg/L, and 50 mg/L, respectively. The results showed that the endothelial cells of the aortic arch were obviously damaged, the apoptosis rate increased, the vWF and iNOS levels increased, and the NO and TNOS levels significantly decreased in the arsenic exposure groups. Regardless of serum or aortic arch endothelium, PEDF levels in the arsenic exposure groups decreased compared to the control group. The oxidative stress level and key proteins associated with apoptosis such as Fas, FasL, P53, and p-p38 were then detected to explore the detailed mechanisms. The results showed that the P53 and p-p38 levels significantly increased in the 10 mg/L and 50 mg/L groups compared to the control group. The MDA content in the arsenic exposure groups increased markedly, whereas the SOD activity decreased significantly with the increased arsenic dose. Taken together, our study is the first to find that PEDF plays a protective role in arsenic-induced endothelial dysfunction through anti-oxidation and anti-apoptosis, and p38 and P53 may be promising target proteins.
