Effects of ceramide on apoptosis of human endothelial cells and expressions of bcl-2 and bax
Objective To observe the effect of ceramide on apoptosis of endothelial cells (EC) and determine the relationship between the ceramide-induced growth suppression and the expressions of bax and bcl-2. Methods Human umbilical endothelial cells were cultured in vitro and treated with 5
12.5
25
50 μmol/L C

-ceramide
the cells treated with absolute alcohol as control. TUNEL was employed to determine the apoptosis of the cultured EC. Bax and bcl-2 mRNA and protein levels of EC were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results The number of apoptotic cells was significantly higher in ceramide-treated endothelial cells than that in the control group (P0
.05). Ceramide-induced EC apopotsis was in time- and dose-dependent manner. Compared with the control cells
the expressions of bax mRNA and protein in EC treated with ceramide significantly increased (P0.05)
while the expressions of bcl-2 mRNA and protein significantly depressed (P0.05). Conclusion Ceramide may induce apoptosis of endothelial cells by down-regulating bcl-2 and up-regulating bax.
