Abstract

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) shows many harmful effects such as induction of apoptosis on function of endothelial cell (EC). Fas ligand (FASL) induces apoptosis in divergent pathological conditions. EC apoptosis which induced by ox-LDL is related with FASL. In this study, we aimed to determine how different ox-LDL levels affect FASL expression in ECs. We treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with two different concentration of ox-LDL. FASL gene expression in groups was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). We compared FASL gene expression level between the groups according to ∆∆Ct method. FASL gene expression was statistic significantly up-regulated in the group treated higher amounts of ox-LDL (P
