OBJECTIVE To investigate the inhibitory effect of NF-kappaB decoy on tissue factor (TF) expression and FVII activation in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), and to explore new methods for prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease. METHODS NF-kappaB decoy transfection efficiency was detected by flow cytometry, NF-kappaB decoy's mechanism was analyzed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), TF mRNA was detected by RT-PCR, TF antigen expression on the surface of HUVEC by flow cytometry, FVIIa level in plasma incubated with HUVEC stimulated by TNF-alpha by rsTF one stage clotting method. RESULTS NF-kappaB decoy could be successfully transfected into HUVEC. It could compete with the endogenous kappaB cis sequence element in the regulatory regions of TF promoter to bind transcriptional factor NF-kappaB. It could also significantly inhibit the TF mRNA, TF antigen expression on the cell surface and TF function leading to activation of FVII. CONCLUSIONS NF-kappaB decoy could inhibit TF gene expression and FVII activation in cultured HUVEC and might be a potential new strategy for prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease.

D009838 Oligodeoxyribonucleotides A group of deoxyribonucleotides (up to 12) in which the phosphate residues of each deoxyribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the deoxyribose moieties. Oligodeoxynucleotide,Oligodeoxyribonucleotide,Oligodeoxynucleotides
D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
D005167 Factor VII Heat- and storage-stable plasma protein that is activated by tissue thromboplastin to form factor VIIa in the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. The activated form then catalyzes the activation of factor X to factor Xa. Coagulation Factor VII,Proconvertin,Stable Factor,Blood Coagulation Factor VII,Factor 7,Factor Seven,Factor VII, Coagulation
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
