Liver X receptors agonist T0901317 promotes human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation via activation of PI3K/Akt pathway
Objective To observe the effect of liver X receptors (LXRs) agonist T0901317 on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) proliferation. Methods The HUVECs isolated and cultured in vitro were treated with different concentrations of T0901317 (0
0.5
2 and 5 μmol/L) for 48 h. The proliferation of HUVECs was evaluated by MTS assay. The expressions of phospho-Akt (Ser
473
) and total Akt were detected by Western blotting. Results The HUVEC proliferation was significantly promoted and the phospho-Akt (Ser
473
) expression was significantly upregulated by T0901317 in a dose-dependent manner (P0.01). The upregulation of phospho-Akt (Ser
473
) induced by T0901317 could be blocked by PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (10 μmol/L) and gene transcription inhibitor actinomycin D (Act-D) (5 μg/ml) (P0.01)
indicating T0901317 activated PI3K/Akt pathway through regulating gene transcription. Moreover
pretreatment of HUVECs with LY294002 (10 μmol/L) could reverse T0901317-induced HUVEC proliferation (P0.01). Conclusion The LXRs agonist T0901317 can promote HUVEC proliferation through the activation of PI3K/Akt pathway.
