Endothelial dysfunction plays important roles in vascular dysfunction under diabetic conditions. The generation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which can induce inflammation and oxidative stress, is pivotal in endothelial dysfunction. Salidroside, a major active compound in Rhodiola rosea, exerts protective effects against vascular diseases. To study the effects and mechanism of salidroside in diabetes-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction, an in vitro model was established with AGEs-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Then, cell viability, cell apoptosis, pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative biomarkers were tested to determine the effects of salidroside at 10, 50 and 100 mu M doses on AGEs induced HUVECs. Additionally, RNASeq and bioinformatics analyses were used to search for the underlying mechanism of salidroside. The results showed that salidroside promoted cell viability and significantly alleviated cell apoptosis in AGEs-induced HUVECs. Furthermore, salidroside remarkably decreased the levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta and IL-6 and impeded the expression of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 induced by AGEs. Additionally, salidroside promoted superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and increased catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) levels while inhibiting the intracellular generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in AGEs-induced HUVECs. Importantly, salidroside alleviated endothelial inflammation and oxidative stress by activating AMPK phosphorylation and inhibiting NF-kappa B p65 and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Therefore, we used compound C, an accepted AMPK inhibitor, to further demonstrate the mechanism. Interestingly, the phenomenon produced by salidroside was abolished. Our findings suggest that salidroside ameliorates AGEs-induced endothelial inflammation and oxidative stress, partially via the AMPK/NF-kappa B/NLRP3 signaling pathway.
