Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the antioxidant probucol on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) apoptosis. H2O2 (1 mmol/l) was used as the VSMC apoptosis-inducing agent, and 100, 10 and 1 µmol/l probucol concentrations were incubated with cells for 6 h. The cell apoptosis was observed using Annexin V-FITC, TUNEL and Hoechst 33258 staining methods. H2O2 promoted VSMC apoptosis, ASK-1 protein expression increased and Trx-l protein expression decreased. Probucol reduced H2O2-induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner; while ASK-1 protein expression decreased, Trx-1 protein expression increased. Probuco1 is capable of antagonizing the H2O2-induced apoptosis in VSMCs, which may be related to the decrease in ASK-1 protein expression and the increase in Trx-1 protein expression.
