Methods： Eahy926 human endothelium cell （EC） line was used; thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide （MTT） test was assayed to observe the viability of EC; Luciferase reporter gene assay was applied to measure nuclear factor- κB （NF- κ B） p65 subunit nuclear binding activity in EC; Western blot technology was used to monitor mitogen activated protein kinase （MAPKs） and NF- κ B activation. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） method was applied to observe intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 （ICAM-1） and E-selectin mRNA level; EC surface ICAM-1 expression was measured with flow cytometry and leukocyte adhesion to EC was assayed with Rose Bengal spectrophotometry technology. Results： HSYA protected EC viability against LPS-induced injury （P〈0.05）. LPS-induced NF- κ B p65 subunit DNA binding （P〈0.01） and nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor α （I κ B α） phosphorylation was inhibited by HSYA. HSYA attenuated LPS triggered ICAM-1 and E-selectin mRNA levels elevation and phosphorylation of p38 MAPK or c-Jun N-terminal kinase MAPK. HSYA also inhibited LPS-induced cell surface ICAM-1 protein expression （P〈0.01） and leukocyte adhesion to EC （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： HSYA is effective to protect LPS-induced high expression of endothelium adhesive molecule and inflammatory signal transduction.展开更多
