Abstract Previous reports have suggested that Ang-(1-7) may have a protective effect in endothelial cells against high
glucose (HG)-induced cell injury thanks to a modulatory mechanism in the NF-κB signaling pathway. In this study,
we have examined whether NF-κB-IL-1β and Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathways contribute to the protection of
Ang-(1-7) against hyperglycemia-induced inflammation and oxidative stress in human umbilical vein endothelial cells
(HUVECs). Our results indicate that time-varying exposures of HUVECs, from 1 h to 24 h, to high glucose
concentrations result in an increased expression of phosphorylated (p)-p65 and HO-1 in a time-dependent manner.
As an inhibitor of NF-κB, pyrrolidinedithiocarbamic… More >
