چکیده انگلیسی
In the present study, we assessed the effects of dexamethasone on fetal bovine serum-induced dysfunction of mesenteric endothelial cells using an organ culture procedure. In rabbit mesenteric arteries cultured in the presence of 10% fetal bovine serum for 7 days, the endothelium-dependent, nitric oxide (NO)-mediated relaxations caused by substance P and ionomycin were decreased as compared to those in non-treated arteries. Dexamethasone (3 μM) inhibited the proliferative stimuli-induced endothelial dysfunction without affecting the contractility or NO susceptibility of smooth muscle cells. Cross-sectioned hematoxylin-eosin staining and whole-mount CD31 staining indicated that chronic proliferative stimulation induced detachment of endothelial cells from the tunica intima in some regions, and also caused thickening of the arterial wall and shortening of the internal diameter. Endothelial NO synthesis (eNOS) mRNA expression was also decreased by the treatment with fetal bovine serum. The dexamethasone treatment did not inhibit the smooth muscle hypertrophy, but it inhibited the peeling of endothelial cells and recovered the eNOS mRNA expression. These results suggest that DEX ameliorate the impairments of arterial relaxation induced by proliferative stimuli and that these beneficial effects may be mediated by maintaining the adhesion of endothelial cells to the vascular wall and/or by recovering eNOS mRNA expression.
