Vascular disease is the principal cause of death and disability among the 12 million patients in the United States with diabetes mellitus. Macrovascular complications, including myocardial infarction, stroke, and amputation are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among this cohort of patients. Reduced bioavailability of endothelium-derived nitric oxide has been implicated in atherogenesis and may be a fundamental factor in the development of vascular disease in diabetes. Increased degradation of nitric oxide by reactive oxygen radicals and inhibition of nitric oxide synthase via activation of protein kinase C are each potential mechanisms to account for decreased nitric oxide. The sponsor's laboratory has demonstrated impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation in patients with diabetes mellitus and in healthy, nondiabetic subjects with experimental hyperglycemia. Further experiments showed that vitamin C improved endothelium-dependent vasodilation implicating a culpable role for superoxide. The soluble, glutathione-dependent antioxidant pathway, responsible for detoxification of polar peroxides, is also adversely affected by hyperglycemia and may represent a specific physiologic mechanism causing, in part, the impaired endothelial function demonstrated in diabetes mellitus. This proposal will examine the effect of ebselen, a glutathione peroxidase mimetic on endothelial function in subjects with diabetes mellitus (type I and type II) and healthy, age-matched controls to determine if polar peroxides play an important role in endothelial dysfunction in diabetes. Hyperglycemia causes the up-regulation of protein kinase C isoform beta2 (PKC beta2) which may phosphorylate nitric oxide synthase, reducing its activity. This proposal will also examine the role of LY333531, a PKC beta2 inhibitor, on endothelium-dependent vasodilation in forearm resistance and conduit vessels in subjects with type I and type II diabetes mellitus and age-matched health controls.

血管疾病是美国 1200 万糖尿病患者死亡和残疾的主要原因。 大血管并发症，包括心肌梗塞、中风和截肢，是这组患者发病和死亡的主要原因。 内皮源性一氧化氮的生物利用度降低与动脉粥样硬化形成有关，并且可能是糖尿病血管疾病发展的基本因素。 活性氧自由基对一氧化氮的降解增加以及通过激活蛋白激酶 C 抑制一氧化氮合酶都是导致一氧化氮减少的潜在机制。 申办者的实验室已证明糖尿病患者和患有实验性高血糖的健康非糖尿病受试者的内皮依赖性血管舒张功能受损。 进一步的实验表明，维生素 C 可以改善内皮依赖性血管舒张，这表明超氧化物的罪魁祸首。 负责极性过氧化物解毒的可溶性谷胱甘肽依赖性抗氧化途径也受到高血糖的不利影响，并且可能代表一种特定的生理机制，在一定程度上导致糖尿病中表现出的内皮功能受损。该提案将研究依布硒啉（一种谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶模拟物）对糖尿病（I 型和 II 型）受试者和健康、年龄匹配对照者内皮功能的影响，以确定极性过氧化物是否在糖尿病内皮功能障碍中发挥重要作用。 高血糖会导致蛋白激酶 C 同工型 beta2 (PKC beta2) 上调，从而可能磷酸化一氧化氮合酶，降低其活性。该提案还将研究 LY333531（一种 PKC beta2 抑制剂）对 I 型和 II 型糖尿病受试者以及年龄匹配的健康对照者前臂阻力和导管血管的内皮依赖性血管舒张的作用。
