ABSTRACT

Remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) is considered to alleviate myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The present study explored whether blood plasma particulate matter, which is termed extracellular particles (EPs), and is released from cells during RIPC, could reduce H2O2-induced damage in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Firstly, EPs were derived from volunteers who did or did not undergo RIPC. To induce RIPC in volunteers, a blood pressure cuff was alternatively inflated for 5 min and deflated for the same duration for four successive cycles. HUVECs were assigned to two groups: i) Group 1 was preincubated for 24 h with EPs from volunteers after sham-RIPC, then treated with H2O2 (1 mM; 6 h) to mimic the in vivo conditions of I/R-induced oxidative stress; and ii) group 2 was preincubated for 24 h with EPs from volunteers after RIPC, then treated with H2O2. Subsequently, EPs were derived from rats received sham-RIPC or RIPC and/or cadmium (Cd) pre-treatment. To induce RIPC in rats, a remote hind limb preconditioning stimulus was delivered using a blood pressure cuff attached at the inguinal level of the rat. The blood pressure cuff was alternatively inflated for 5 min and deflated for the same time period for four successive cycles. HUVECs were assigned to six groups: i) Group 1 was untreated; ii) group 2 received only H2O2 treatment (1 mM; 6 h); iii) group 3 was preincubated for 24 h with EPs from rats exposed to sham-RIPC, then treated with H2O2; iv) group 4 was preincubated for 24 h with EPs from rats that received an intraperitoneal injection of 1 mg/kg Cd [a pharmacological inhibitor of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α (HIF-1α) in vivo] 180 min before sham-RIPC, then treat ed with H2O2; v) group 5 was preincubated for 24 h with EPs from rats exposed to RIPC, then treated with H2O2; and vi) group 6 was preincubated for 24 h with EPs from rats that received an intraperitoneal injection of 1 mg/kg Cd 180 min before RIPC, then treated with H2O2. Cell viability and cytotoxicity were monitored using Cell Counting Kit-8 and lactate dehydrogenase assays. Cell apoptosis and necrosis were assessed via flow cytometry and western blot analysis. A notable increase in EP concentration in the plasma of volunteers after RIPC compared with that in the plasma of volunteers after sham-RIPC was observed. RIPC-associated EPs (RIPC-EPs) from volunteers could improve cell viability and reduce cytotoxicity, cell apoptosis and necrosis in HUVECs treated with H2O2 in vitro. Furthermore, RIPC caused a significant increase in HIF-1α expression in the rat limb musculature. The apoptosi s-reducing effect of RIPC-EPs was demonstrated to be counteracted by an intraperitoneal injection of Cd before RIPC in rats. A significant decrease in the EP levels precipitated from the plasma of rats that received Cd treatment before RIPC was observed compared with rats that did not receive Cd treatment. The present study suggested that HIF-1α mediated at least partly the protective effect of plasma RIPC-EPs on oxidative stress injury in HUVECs.
