Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 inhibition protects human aortic endothelial cells against LPS-induced inflammation response

摘要

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease.Tolllike receptor 4 (TLR4) is an important signaling receptor and plays a critical role in the inflammatory response.Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a nuclear enzyme that can regulate the expression of various inflammatory genes.In this study,we investigated the role and the underlying mechanisms of PARP1 on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in human aortic endothelial cells.Compared with the control,LPS stimulation increased the protein expression of TLR4 and PARP1.TLR4 inhibition reduced LPS-induced upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and ICAM-1 as well as PARP1. Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) inhibition decreased ICAM-1 and iNOS expression.Inhibition of PARP1 decreased protein expression of inflammatory cytokines induced by LPS stimulation,probably through preventing NF-KB nuclear translocation. Our study demonstrated that LPS increased ICAM-1 and iNOS expression via TLR4/PARP1/NF-KB pathway.PARP1 might be an indispensable factor in TLR4-mediated inflammation after LPS stimulation.PARP1 inhibition might shed light on the treatment of LPS-induced inflammatory cytokines expression during atherosclerosis.
