Abstract

Objective To study the effect to Nimodipine on vascular endothelial cell apoptosis induced by various concentrations of ox-LDL.Methods Cultured vascular endothelial(ECV304) were treated with various concentrations o of ox-LDL and Nimodipine for 6~24 hours.A transmission electron microscope was employed to observe the cell apoptosis.The apoptosis rate of ECV304 cell was anaylzed with flow cytometer.The concentration of Ca2+ was detected by a laser scanning confocal microscope(LCSM).Results ox-LDL was able to induce apoptosis in human ECV304 cells.Nimodipine could inhibit apoptosis of ECV304 cells.Conclusion Nimodipine could protect ECV304 cells from various concentrations of ox-LDL induced apoptosis.
