Abstract

To clarify the mechanism by which hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus causes endothelial cell damages, the effects of high glucose on DNA fragmentation and caspase-3 activity of cultured endothelial cells and on the generation of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were studied. Furthermore, the involvement of the polyol pathway in this process was investigated using aldose reductase inhibitor (SNK-860). Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were incubated with 5.5mmol/L (low glucose medium) or 28mmol/L (high glucose medium) of glucose. The amounts of fragmented DNA, caspase-3 activity and 8-OHdG in the medium increased in significantly greater extent in high glucose-incubated HUVECs than in low glucose-incubated HUVECs. No significant increase in fragmented DNA or 8-OHdG was observed when HUVECs were incubated with mannitol (500mg/mL). The concentration of intracellular sorbitol was significantly higher in HUVECs incubated in high glucose medium than that in low glucose medium. Addition of the aldose reductase inhibitor SNK-860 dose-dependently decreased the intracellular sorbitol concentration in HUVECs incubated in high glucose medium, and also significantly suppressed the increases in fragmented DNA, caspase-3 act...Continue Reading

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
