Abstract

Oxidative damage in endothelial cells is proposed to play an important role in endothelial dysfunction and atherogenesis. We previously reported that the reduced form of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ 10 H 2) effectively inhibits oxidative stress and decelerates senescence in senescence‐accelerated mice. Here, we treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with H 2 O 2 and investigated the protective effect of CoQ 10 H 2 against senescence, oxidative damage, and reduction in cellular functions. We found that CoQ 10 H 2 markedly reduced the number of senescence‐associated β‐galactosidase‐positive cells and suppressed the expression of senescence‐associated secretory phenotype‐associated genes in H 2 O 2‐treated HUVECs. Furthermore, CoQ 10 H 2 suppressed the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) but promoted NO production that was accompanied by increased eNOS expression. CoQ 10 H 2 prevented apoptosis and reductions in mitochondrial function and reduced migration and tube formation activity of H 2 O 2‐treated cells. The present study indicated that CoQ 10 H 2 protects endothelial cells against senescence by promoting mitochondrial function and thus could delay vascular aging.

  • Treatment with CoQ10H2 of H2O2-induced senescent HUVEC is effective in reducing SA-β gal, SASP release and ROS production, but enhanced NO and eNOS levels.

    “For example, a study conducted by Huo et al. has shown that treatment with CoQ10H2 of H2O2-induced senescent human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) is effective in reducing SA-β gal, SASP release and ROS production, but enhanced nitric oxide (NO) and endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) levels [67].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
