Dehydroepiandrosterone inhibits the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells by enhancing the expression of p53 and p21, restricting the phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein, and is androgen‐ and estrogen‐receptor independent

Abstract: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a steroid hormone, modified the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells in a dose‐dependent manner. Its inactive sulfate ester (DHEA‐S) and two of its metabolites – estradiol and testosterone – had no inhibitory effect at physiological concentrations. Antiproliferation was associated with arrest in the G1 phase of the cell cycle, but not with cell death, as evaluated by cleavage of poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase and exposure of phosphatidylserine. The effect was not … Show more

“…Id1 has been reported to inhibit the tumor-suppressor protein p53, 22 which is regulated by ox-LDL, 31 and p53 inhibits cell proliferation. 28 We therefore examined whether p53 accumulated in the nucleus after treatment with ox-LDL. Nuclear localization of p53 was markedly up-regulated at 24 h after exposure to 40 and 100 lg mL 21 ox-LDL (Figs.…”

“…HUVEC were derived from primary human endothelial cells by proteolytic dissociation of the umbilical cord veins from normal deliveries, by treatment with collagenase type II (0.2 mg/ml), and cultured on gelatin-coated culture dishes in medium M199 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), glutamine (2 mM), heparin (1 mg/ml), and endothelial mitogen (20 μg/ml), as previously described (Zapata et al, 2005). Cells were used for experiments on their second passage.…”

“…Cells were used within passages 4-10 and were identified as endothelial by their morphology and by uniform positive endoglin (CD105) surface antigen (BD Pharmigen) staining. Crystal violet stain allows the evaluation of cell viability as well as cellular proliferation in relation to the culture time [20,21]. Mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity was determined by the reduction of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT, 5 mg/mL) in sterile PBS [22].…”
