In this study, athero-protective effects of paeonol were investigated in apoliprotein E deficient(Apo E^–/–) mice through the entire course of atherosclerotic development. Apo E^–/– mice were divided into five groups and fed a high-cholesterol diet(HCD) for 5, 15 and 25 weeks. Then they were fed either paeonol or atorvastatin for 6 weeks. The methods, such as ELISA for serum lipid and cytokine analyses, Western blotting for protein expressions, and HE and oil-red o-staining method, were used for evaluation of thoracic aorta lesion area. The results showed that paeonol could significantly reduce body weight, blood lipid, total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG) and low density lipoprotein(LDL-C) in Apo E^–/– mice at all stages of the atherosclerosis process. Paeonol also reduced the levels of anti-inflammation factors, such as tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin(IL)-6, oxidized LDL cholesterol(ox-LDL), in serum. In paeonol groups, SOD was significantly increased, whereas MDA was decreased compared with the HCD group(P0.01). Paeonol markedly attenuated the thickness of the lipid-rich plaque and down-regulated the expressions of VCAM-1 and MMP-9 in aorta of mice, suggesting that paeonol could inhibit formation of plaque and stabilize plaques. Taken together, paeonol appeared to have anti-dyslipidemia and anti-atherosclerotic effects by lipid regulation, and it could inhibit the effects of inflammation and oxidative stress on HCD-fed Apo E^–/– mice through the entire course of atherosclerotic development.展开更多
