BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE One key mechanism for endothelial dysfunction is endothelial NOS (eNOS) uncoupling, whereby eNOS generates superoxide (O(2)center dot(-)) rather than NO. We explored the effect of pyridoxine on eNOS uncoupling induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the potential molecular mechanism.EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH HUVECs were incubated with ox-LDL with/without pyridoxine, N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME), chelerythrine chloride (CHCI) or apocynin. Endothelial O(2)center dot(-) was measured using lucigenin chemiluminescence, and O(2)center dot(-)-sensitive fluorescent dye dihydroethidium (DHE). NO levels were measured by chemiluminescence, PepTag Assay for non-radioactive detection of PKC activity, depletion of PKC and p47phox by siRNA silencing and the states of phospho-eNOS Thr495, total-eNOS, phospho-PKC alpha/beta II, total PKC, phospho-PKC alpha, total PKC alpha and p47phox were measured by Western blot.KEY RESULTS Ox-LDL significantly increased O(2)center dot(-) production and reduced NO levels released from HUVECs; an effect reversed by eNOS inhibitor, L-NAME. Pyridoxine pretreatment significantly inhibited ox-LDL-induced O(2)center dot(-) generation and preserved NO levels. Pyridoxine also prevented the ox-LDL-induced reduction in phospho-eNOS Thr495 and PKC activity. These protective effects of pyridoxine were abolished by the PKC inhibitor, CHCI, or siRNA silencing of PKC alpha. However, depletion of p47phox or treatment with the NADPH oxidase inhibitor, apocynin, had no influence on these effects. Also, cytosol p47phox expression was unchanged by the different treatments.CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Pyridoxine mitigated eNOS uncoupling induced by ox-LDL. This protectant effect was related to phosphorylation of eNOS Thr495 stimulated by PKC alpha, not via NADPH oxidase. These results provide support for the use of pyridoxine in ox-LDL-related vascular endothelial dysfunction.
