In vitro | LY333531 strikingly decreases the chance of HUVEC survival and the effect of LY333531 on apoptotic cell death in HUVEC significantly increases compared with the AGEs group. Blockade of PKC-beta up-regulates the expression of Bax and Bad proteins and down-regulates the expression of Bcl-2 protein. Moreover, LY333531 reduces the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax. LY333531 can further prompt AGEs-induced endothelial cells apoptosis. The increased expression of Bax, Bad and decreased expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-2/Bax ratio are associated with the apoptotic process[3]. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

In vivo | LY333531 treatment (for a duration of 4 weeks) prevents excessive PKCb2 activation and attenuates cardiac diastolic dysfunction in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. LY333531 suppresses the decreased expression of myocardial NO, Cav-3, phosphorylated (p)-Akt, and p-eNOS and also mitigates the augmentation of O2-, nitrotyrosine, Cav-1, and iNOS expression[2]. |
