Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)), a metabolite of angiotensin I and angiotensin II (Ang II), is a counterregulatory mediator of Ang II. Here, we investigated the effects of Ang-(1-7) on Ang II-induced apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) staining and propidium iodide (PI) staining were used to analyse the effect of Ang-(1-7) on Ang II-induced apoptosis. Ang-(1-7) alone did not affect the apoptosis of HUVECs. Ang II significantly enhanced the numbers of apoptotic cells (P<0.01). Ang-(1-7) suppressed Ang II-induced apoptosis. A-779, the specific receptor antagonist of Ang-(1-7), almost completely abolished the anti-apoptotic effects of Ang-(1-7). Moreover, Ang-(1-7) also inhibited Ang II-induced accumulation of cleaved caspase-3 and enhanced the expression of anti-apoptotic factor, B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) at both mRNA and protein levels. The effect of Ang-(1-7) on Ang II-induced upregulation of lectin-like oxidised low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1), which is involved in endothelial apoptosis, was also analysed at both mRNA and protein levels Similarly, Ang-(1-7) dose dependently diminished Ang II-induced LOX-1 expression at both mRNA and protein levels. A-779 almost completely reversed Ang-(1-7)-mediated inhibition of Ang II-induced upregulation of LOX-1. LOX-1 silencing by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) enhanced the protective effects of Ang-(1-7) against Ang-II-induced apoptosis in HUVECs. Taken together, our data suggested that Ang-(1-7) can ameliorate Ang II-induced apoptosis of HUVECs, at lease partially through suppression of LOX-1 expression. © 2012 The Authors Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology © 2012 Wiley Publishing Asia Pty Ltd. |
