Background: Ischemia and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha) released during ischemia both cause apoptosis and necrosis of myocardial tissues. Since endothelium may be critically important in determination of cardiac function, we examined the interaction between TNF alpha and hypoxia-reoxygenation with regard to induction of apoptosis and underlying signaling pathway in cultured human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs). Methods and results: HCAECs were cultured and exposed to hypoxia alone, hypoxia-reoxygenation, TNF alpha alone, TNF alpha plus hypoxia-reoxygenation, or TNF alpha only during the period of reoxygenation. Apoptosis was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy, DNA nick-end labeling and DNA laddering. Hypoxia alone caused modest time-dependent apoptosis of cultured HCAECs, and reoxygenation increased the number of apoptotic cells (P
