Abstract:
Objective(s): Increased oxidative stress and inflammatory response are risk factors for kidney and cardiovascular diseases in patients with hyperuricemia. Uric acid (UA) has been reported to cause inflammation and oxidative damage in cells by inhibiting the nuclear factor E۲-related factor ۲ (Nrf۲) pathway. Notably, Simvastatin (SIM) can regulate the Nrf۲ pathway, but whether SIM can regulate inflammatory response and oxidative stress in vascular endothelial cells induced by high UA via this pathway has not been clarified.Materials and Methods: To demonstrate this speculation, cell activity, as well as apoptosis, was estimated employing CCK-۸ and TUNEL, respectively. Indicators of oxidative stress and inflammation were assessed by related kits and western blotting. Subsequently, the effects of SIM on signaling pathways were examined using western blotting.Results: The result showed that after UA exposure, oxidative stress was activated and inflammation was increased, and SIM could reverse this trend. Meanwhile, SIM could inhibit high UA-induced apoptosis. In addition, western blotting results showed that SIM reversed the down-regulation of the expression of Nrf۲ pathway-related proteins caused by high UA.Conclusion: SIM alleviated the inflammatory response as well as inhibiting oxidative stress through the Nrf۲ pathway, thereby attenuating high UA-induced vascular endothelial cell injury.
