Endothelial dysfunction appears in early diabetes mellitus partially because of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) abnormal activation and downstream oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to determine whether Y396, a synthesized analog of rhynchophylline, could protect against endothelial dysfunction in diab... |
RESULTS |
Y396 could directly target the EGF receptor and inhibit its phosphorylation induced by high glucose and EGF, downstream translocation to the nuclear of E2F1, and its transcriptional activity and expression of Nox4. Diabetes-induced endothelium malfunction was ameliorated by Y396 treatment through EGF receptor inhibitio... |
CONCLUSION |
Y396 could directly bind with EGF receptor and inhibit its phosphorylation and downstream E2F1 transcriptional activity. It could also preserve tunicamycin-evoked endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress. It could protect against diabetes-induced endothelium malfunction in vivo through EGF receptor inhibition and d... |

BACKGROUND |
Legume seed proteins have to be chemically characterized in order to properly link their nutritional effects with their chemical structure. |
RESULTS |
Vicilin and albumin fractions devoid of cross-contamination, as assessed by mass peptide fingerprinting analysis, were obtained from defatted pea (Pisum sativum cv. Bilbo) meal. The extracted protein fractions contained 56.7-67.7 g non-starch polysaccharides kg⁻¹. The vicilin fraction was higher than legumins in argini... |
