Цель исследования - оценка токсичности кальций-фосфатных бионов (КФБ) и магний-фосфатных бионов (МФБ) для культур эндотелиальных клеток. Методика. Эндотелиотоксичность бионов изучена при помощи добавления равных концентраций МФБ или КФБ к: 1) разреженным или конфлюэнтным культурам иммортализованных венозных эндотелиальных клеток человека линии EA.hy 926 с последующим культивированием в течение 24 ч или 4 ч соответственно; 2) конфлюэнтным культурам коммерческих первичных эндотелиальных клеток коронарной и внутренней грудной артерии человека с последующим культивированием в течение 24 ч. Эндотелиотоксические эффекты бионов оценивали при помощи сочетанного окрашивания клеток флюоресцентными красителями Hoechst 33342 и бромистым этидием, а также посредством колориметрического теста. Кроме того, методом проточной цитометрии оценивали пути и стадии гибели клеток вышеуказанных культур. Результаты. В отличие от МФБ, КФБ индуцировали гибель эндотелиальных клеток всех 3 линий путем апоптоза. Устойчивость культур к токсическому действию КФБ определялась степенью их конфлюэнтности (конфлюэнтные культуры более устойчивы чем разреженные) и типом клеточной линии (эндотелиальные клетки внутренней грудной артерии продемонстрировали большую устойчивость в сравнении с эндотелиальными клетками коронарной артерии). Заключение. Токсичность КФБ для культур эндотелиальных клеток специфична, то есть определяется их специфическим минеральным составом, а не общей для всех типов бионов корпускулярной природой. Добавление КФБ к конфлюэнтным культурам первичных артериальных эндотелиальных клеток и к иммортализованным венозным эндотелиальным клеткам вызывало их гибель, при этом экспозиция МФБ не оказывает значимого токсического действия. Эндотелиальные клетки внутренней грудной артерии менее чувствительны к воздействию КФБ в сравнении с эндотелиальными клетками коронарной артерии человека. Aim. To compare toxicity of calcium phosphate bions (CPB) and magnesium phosphate bions (MPB) for endothelial cells. Me-thods. To assess endothelial toxicity of the bions, we first added equal concentrations of either MPB or CPB to: 1) non-confluent or confluent cultures of immortalized human venous endothelial cells EA.hy 926 with the exposure time of 24 h or 4 h, respectively; 2) confluent cultures of commercially available primary human coronary artery and internal thoracic artery endothelial cells, with the exposure time of 24 h. Endothelial toxicity was then evaluated by combined Hoechst 33342 and ethidium bromide staining following fluorescence microscopy and by colorimetric cytotoxicity assay. In addition, we attempted to determine the pathway of bion-induced cell death utilizing flow cytometry. Results. In contrast to the MPB, CPB induced apoptosis of all studied endothelial cell lines. Resistance of endothelial cells to the CPB was defined by their confluence (confluent cultures demonstrated higher resistance), and cell type (internal thoracic artery endothelial cells were more resistant to the CPB as compared to the coronary artery endothelial cells). Conclusions. Endothelial toxicity of the CPB is defined by their specific mineral composition but not by their corpuscular nature, which is common for all nanoparticles. Addition of the CPB to the confluent cultures of primary human arterial cells and to immortalized human venous endothelial cells evoked their death. On the contrary, exposure to the MPB did not cause any toxic effects. Human internal thoracic artery endothelial cells are more resistant to the CPB in comparison with coronary artery endothelial cells.

Aim. To study intrinsic apoptosis in primary arterial endothelial cells treated with calcium phosphate bions (CPB). Materials and Methods. Primary human coronary artery endothelial cells were exposed to spherical or needle-shaped CPB during 4 hours with the subsequent extraction of total protein and subcellular fractionation to separate mitochondrial and cytosolic protein. We then performed Western blotting to measure the relative levels of a mitochondrial marker porin, cytosolic marker glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and intrinsic apoptosis proteins cytochrome c and HtrA2/Omi in mitochondria and cytosol in addition to the levels of total and cleaved caspases-9 and caspases-3 in the total protein collected from three independent experiments. Results. Translocation of cytochrome c and HtrA2/Omi was not a mandatory consequence of CPB exposure. Relative levels of the measured proteins differed according to the particle shape. Out of three experiments, only one showed a significant increase in cleaved caspase-9 and caspase-3 in CPB-treated as compared with the mock-treated cells. In other experiments, cleaved caspases did not show a consistent elevation. The levels of total and cleaved caspase-9 and caspases-3 were concordant testifying to the direct correlation between them. Conclusion. As mechanisms of CPB-induced endothelial toxicity are poorly defined, they require further investigation employing optimized methods.

Although saphenous veins (SVs) are commonly used as conduits for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), internal thoracic artery (ITA) grafts have significantly higher long-term patency. As SVs and ITA endothelial cells (ECs) have a considerable level of heterogeneity, we suggested that synergistic paracrine interactions between CA and ITA ECs (HCAECs and HITAECs, respectively) may explain the increased resistance of ITA grafts and adjacent CAs to atherosclerosis and restenosis. In this study, we measured the gene and protein expression of the molecules responsible for endothelial homeostasis, pro-inflammatory response, and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition in HCAECs co-cultured with either HITAECs or SV ECs (HSaVECs) for an ascending duration. Upon the co-culture, HCAECs and HITAECs showed augmented expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and reduced expression of endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition transcription factors Snail and Slug when compared to the HCAEC–HSaVEC model. HCAECs co-cultured with HITAECs demonstrated an upregulation of HES1, a master regulator of arterial specification, of which the expression was also exclusively induced in HSaVECs co-cultured with HCAECs, suggestive of their arterialisation. In addition, co-culture of HCAECs and HITAECs promoted the release of pro-angiogenic molecules. To conclude, co-culture of HCAECs and HITAECs results in reciprocal and beneficial paracrine interactions that might contribute to the better performance of ITA grafts upon CABG.

Plasma free fatty acids are elevated in patients with type 2 diabetes and contribute to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction. The p38 MAPK mediates stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. Whether free fatty acids induce apoptosis and/or activate nuclear factor-κB inflammatory pathway in human coronary artery endothelial cells (hCAECs) and, if so, whether this involves the p38 MAPK pathway is unknown. hCAECs (passages 4–6) were grown to 70% confluence and then incubated with palmitate at concentrations of 0–300 μm for 6–48 h. Palmitate at 100, 200, or 300 μm markedly increased apoptosis after 12 h of incubation. This apoptotic effect was time (P = 0.008) and dose (P = 0.006) dependent. Palmitate (100 μm for 24 h) induced a greater than 2-fold increase in apoptosis, which was accompanied with a 4-fold increase in p38 MAPK activity (P < 0.001). Palmitate did not affect the phosphorylation of Akt1 or ERK1/2. SB203580 (a specific inhibitor of p38 MAPK) alone did not affect cellular apoptosis; however, it abolished palmitate-induced apoptosis and p38 MAPK activation. Palmitate significantly reduced the level of inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB (IκB). However, treatment of cells with SB203580 did not restore IκB to baseline. We conclude that palmitate induces hCAEC apoptosis via a p38 MAPK-dependent mechanism and may participate in coronary endothelial injury in diabetes. However, palmitate-mediated IκB degradation in hCAECs is independent of p38 MAPK activity.
