Abstract: Objective: To investigate the protective effect and possible mechanism of recombinant adiponectin on apoptosis in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP). Methods: HUVECs were cultured in vitro and apoptosis was induced by t-BHP. On this basis, HUVECs were transfected with adenovirus carrying adiponectin prior to exposure to t-BHP, to further explore the protective effect of adiponectin on apoptosis induced by t-BHP. The percentage of cell viability was determined by MTT assay. The apoptotic rate was evaluated by fluorescence microsopic analysis with Hochest/PI staining. The protein levels of p-JNK, JNK and Caspase 3 were detected by Western blot. Results: Following t-BHP 100 μmol/L administration for 8 h, the ratio of apoptotic cells was increased. Western blot revealed that the protein levels of p-JNK and active caspase 3 were increased(P<0.01) compared to the control group. When cells were pretreated by adenovirus with adiponectin, the apoptosis rate and protein levels of p-JNK and active caspase 3 were decreased significantly(P<0.01). Conclusion: Continuous exposure to t-BHP induced apoptosis in HUVECs. Recombinant adiponectin protected HUVECs from apoptosis induced by t-BHP, which was correlated with the downregulation of p-JNK and active Caspase 3.
