Abstract | Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induces monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and plays an important role in vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis. We investigated the mechanisms of VEGF-induced MCP-1 expression and the effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) demonstrated that VEGF enhanced MCP-1 gene expression and protein secretion in HUVECs. Western immunoblot analysis revealed that VEGF induced the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and inhibitor of nuclear factor (NF)-κB (IκB). Treatment with pharmacological inhibitors of p38 MAPK (SB203580) or NF-κB (BAY11-7085) significantly suppressed VEGF-induced MCP-1 in HUVECs. EPA inhibited VEGF-induced MCP-1 mRNA, protein secretion, phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, and the translocation of phospho-p65 to the nucleus. Additionally, VEGF also stimulated gene expressions of |
