Low concentration of oxidant and nitric oxide donors stimulate proliferation of human endothelial cells in vitro

Abstract

Proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells in vitro was inhibited by high concentrations of oxidants and nitric oxide donors but stimulated by low (micromolar or submicromolar) concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, menadione, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, AAPH, nitroglycerin, SIN-1 and sodium nitroprusside. The stimulation seems to be dependent upon generation of secondary reactive oxygen species as inferred from attenuation of cell proliferation by superoxide dismutase and catalase. These results point to another type of possible artefact of cell culture, viz. stimulation of cell proliferation by low concentrations of oxidants.

Antianginal drugs, including nitrates, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers, are used in the treatment of angina pectoris. Here is the latest research on their use and their mechanism of action.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
