Cytoskeletal alterations in lipopolysaccharide-induced bovine vascular endothelial cell injury and its prevention by sodium arsenite.
Morphological changes, especially cytoskeletal alterations, in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced vascular endothelial cell injury were studied by using LPS-susceptible bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC). BAEC in cultures with LPS showed cell rounding, shrinking, and intercellular gap formation. In those cells, LPS caused the disorganization of actin, tubulin, and vimentin. LPS also induced a...
متن کاملArsenite stimulates plasma membrane NADPH oxidase in vascular endothelial cells.
Low-level arsenite treatment of porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAEC) stimulated superoxide accumulation that was attenuated by inhibitors of NAD(P)H oxidase. To demonstrate whether arsenite stimulated NADPH oxidase, intact PAEC were treated with arsenite for up to 2 h and membrane fractions were prepared to measure NADPH oxidase activity. Arsenite (5 microM) stimulated a twofold increase in ...
متن کاملRenin expression by vascular endothelial cells in culture.
Cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells were examined for renin activity by biochemical, immunological, and immunohistochemical techniques. When cell sonicates were incubated with renin substrate, linear generation of angiotensin I was observed (1.12 +/- 0.2 ng angiotensin I/10(6) cells per hr). The effect of pH on this activity was similar to that of bovine renal renin, and renin antibodies i...
متن کاملHuman Vascular Endothelial Cells in Culture
Human endothelial cells, obtained by collagenase treatment of term umbilical cord veins, were cultured using Medium 199 supplemented with 20% fetal calf serum. Small clusters of cells initially spread on plastic or glass, coalesced and grew to form confluent monolayers of polygonal cells by 7 days. Cells in primary and subcultures were identified as endothelium by the presence of Weibel-Palade ...
متن کاملCurcumin Inhibits The Adverse Effects of Sodium Arsenite in Mouse Epididymal Sperm
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of curcumin on epididymal sperm parameters in adult male Navel Medical Research Institute (NMRI) mice exposed to sodium arsenite. MaterialsAndMethods In this experimental study, we divided the animals into four groups: control, sodium arsenite (5 mg/kg), curcumin (100 mg/kg) and curcumin+sodium arsenite. Exposures were performed by ...
