Liver X receptor agonist alleviated high glucose-induced endothelial progenitor cell dysfunction via inhibition of reactive oxygen species and activation of AMP-activated protein kinase. Microcirculation similar to 19: 547553, 2012. Abstract Objective: Liver X receptors (LXRs) are key regulators of cholesterol homeostasis. Synthetic LXR agonists are anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory. However, the effect of LXR agonists on endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) function is largely unknown. Here, we explored the effect of the LXR agonist TO901317 (TO) on EPC biology and the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Endothelial progenitor cells were cultured in mannitol or 30 mm glucose (high glucose) for 24 hours. For TO treatments, cells were pretreated with TO (10 mu m) for 12 hours, then mannitol or high glucose was added for an additional 24 hours. EPCs function, reactive oxygen species (ROS) release, and phosphorylation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) were analyzed. Results: TO could restore the high glucose-impaired adhesion and migration capacity of EPCs. High glucose impaired EPC-mediated angiogenesis, and TO reversed the impairment. TO also alleviated ROS release induced by high glucose. Western blot analysis revealed that high glucose downregulated the phosphorylation of AMPK and endothelial nitric oxide synthase, which could be reversed with TO treatment. Furthermore, inhibiting AMPK activation by compound C could abolish the protective effects of TO on EPCs. Conclusions: TO had a protective effect on EPCs under high glucose by inhibiting ROS release and activating AMPK.
