摘要: | The alpha 7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (alpha 7-nAChR), expressed in the neuronal and non-neuronal cells, has been shown to regulate cell proliferation. However, the expression and function of the alpha 7-nAChR in the proliferation of the vascular endothelial cells remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the expression of the alpha 7-nAChR in the arsenite-exposed vascular endothelial cells. The vascular endothelial cells SVEC4-10 and porcine aorta endothelial cells (PAEC) expressed the a7-nAChR proteins. Moreover, the location of the alpha 7-nAChR proteins on cell membrane of the vascular endothelial cells was identified by the alpha 7-nAChR binding to a tetramethylrhodamine-labeled a-bungarotoxin (alpha-BTX). Arsenite (20 mu LM, 24 h) significantly induced the cytotoxicity, cell growth inhibition, and apoptosis in the vascular endothelial cells. The level of alpha 7-nAChR proteins was concentration dependently decreased in the arsenite-treated endothelial cells. Furthermore, a specific alpha 7-nAChR antagonist, alpha-BTX, inhibited the cell viability in the vascular endothelial cells. Nevertheless, alpha-BTX, and a alpha 7-nAChR agonist, nicotine, did not significantly alter the cytotoxicity in the arsenite-treated endothelial cells. In addition, arsenite decreased the level of endothelial nitric oxide synthase proteins but did not alter choline acetyltransferase proteins in the SVEC4-10 endothelial cells. Together, our results indicate that arsenite can inhibit the alpha 7-nAChR protein expression and cause the cell injury in the vascular endothelial cells. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
