PMID: 34637797 Abstract Title: Salvianolic acid B ameliorates vascular endothelial dysfunction through influencing a bone morphogenetic protein 4-ROS cycle in diabetic mice. Abstract: AIM: This study investigated the roles of bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) and ROS in diabetic endothelial dysfunction and explored whether Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) improved endothelial function by affecting BMP4-ROS in diabetic mice.MAIN METHODS: db/db mice were orally administrated with Sal B (10 mg/kg/day) for one week while db/m + mice were injected with adenoviral vectors delivering BMP4 (3 × 10pfu) and then received one week-Sal B treatment. ROS levels were assayed by DHE staining. Protein expression and phosphorylation were evaluated by Western blot. Aortic rings were suspended in myograph for force measurement. Flow-mediated dilatations in the second-order mesenteric arteries were determined by pressure myograph.KEY FINDINGS: We first revealed the existence of a BMP4-ROS cycle in db/db mice, which stimulated p38 MAPK/JNK/caspase 3 and thus participated in endothelial dysfunction. One week-treatment or 24 h-incubation with Sal B disrupted the cycle, suppressed p38 MAPK/JNK/caspase 3 cascade, and improved endothelium-dependent relaxations (EDRs) in db/db mouse aortas. Importantly, in vivo Sal B treatment also improved flow-mediated dilatation in db/db mouse second order mesenteric arteries. Furthermore, in vivo BMP4 overexpression induced oxidative stress, stimulated p38 MAPK/JNK/caspase 3, and impaired EDRs in db/m + mouse aortas, which were all reversed by Sal B.SIGNIFICANCE: The present study demonstrates that Sal B ameliorates endothelial dysfunction through breaking the BMP4-ROS cycle and subsequently inhibiting p38 MAPK/JNK/caspase 3 in diabetic mice and provides evidence for the additional new mechanism underlying the benefit of Sal B against diabetic vasculopathy. </p><p><a href="https://www.greenmedinfo.com/article/salvianolic-acid-b-ameliorates-vascular-endothelial-dysfunction" target="_blank">read more</a></p></blockquote><p></p>
