Reactive oxygen species are known to be derived from NADPH oxidase in several tissues. Angiotensin II was suggested to be involved in the activation of NADPH oxidase; however, its role in the gastric mucosa is unclear. We examined the roles of angiotensin II receptor and NADPH oxidase in ischemia/reperfusion-induced gastric damage in rats. Under urethane anesthesia, male Sprague-Dawley rat stomachs were mounted in an ex-vivo chamber, had 100 mM HCl applied to them, and then a catheter was passed through the femoral vein. Ischemia/reperfusion was accompanied by blood collection and reperfusion through the catheter. Losartan, candesartan, valsartan, which are AT1 receptor blockers (ARB); PD123319, an AT2 receptor blocker; enalapril, an ACE inhibitor; or diphenylene iodonium, a NADPH oxidase inhibitor, was given i.v. 10 mins, and ß-NADPH, a NADPH oxidase substrate, was given i.v. 5 mins before reperfusion. The gastric damage by ischemia/reperfusion was attenuated by treatment with any of ARB or enalapril, but was not affected by PD123319. The increase in gastric H2O2 production and microvascular permeability by ischemia/reperfusion was also suppressed by treatment with any of ARB or enalapril. In rat gastric mucosa, the NADPH oxidase subunit p47phox was detected. Additionally, diphenylene iodonium had similar effects to ARB against ischemia/reperfusion-caused gastric damage, increased H2O2 production, and microvascular permeability. Ischemia/reperfusion activated NADPH oxidase in the gastric mucosa, and the activation was significantly attenuated by treatment with losartan or diphenylene iodonium. These results suggest that ischemia/reperfusion generated reactive oxygen species are derived from NADPH oxidase activation via AT1 receptor in rat stomachs.
It has been shown that increased intake of trans fatty acids (TFAs) is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. In this study, we have investigated the effects of linoelaidic (LA) and elaidic (EA) acids on the proinflammatory response in endothelial cells, a key step in vascular disease. Human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were treated with different concentrations (100 µmol/l in most experiments) of LA or EA for different periods of time. The surface protein and mRNA expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were determined by flow cytometry and real time RT-PCR, respectively. Adhesion of leukocytes to TFA-treated HAECs was evaluated by an adhesion assay. Activation of nuclear factor-B (NF-B) was evaluated by measuring NF-B p65 phosphorylation using flow cytometry. ROS production was determined by the reduction of fluorescent 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA). LA treatment significantly increased protein and mRNA levels of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, leukocyte adhesion to HAECs, phosphorylation of NF-B and ROS generation. Similar effects were achieved for cells incubated with EA. Experiments with HAECs pretreated with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, an inhibitor of NF-B, revealed that both LA and EA-mediated induction of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 is mainly regulated by NF-B. The ROS production induced by both of the studied acids was inhibited in the presence of diphenyleneiodonium (DPI), a NADPH oxidase inhibitor, suggesting ROS production through the activation of NADPH oxidase. Furthermore, LA or EA-induced ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression, activation of NF-B and adhesion of leukocytes to HAECs were abolished in the presence of DPI. Conclusion: TFAs present in our diet have a direct proinflammatory effect, which promotes leukocyte adhesion to the endothelium through ROS-dependent NF-B activation.
