Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a highly reactive metabolite of glucose present at elevated levels in diabetic patients. Its cytotoxicity is associated with endothelial dysfunction, which plays a role in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. Although curcumin has many therapeutic benefits, these are limited due to its low bioavailability. We aimed to improve the bioavailability of curcumin and evaluate a potential synergistic effect of curcumin and reconstituted high-density lipoprotein (rHDL) nanoparticles (Cur-rHDLs) on MGO-induced cytotoxicity and oxidative stress in murine cerebrovascular endothelial cells (bEnd.3). Cur-rHDL nanoparticles (14.02 ± 0.95 nm) prepared by ultracentrifugation and containing curcumin were quantified by LC–MS/MS. The synergistic effect of cur-rHDL nanoparticles was tested on bEnd.3 cytotoxicity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, chromatin condensation, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and endothelial barrier integrity by impedancemetry. The uptake of curcumin, alone or associated with HDLs, was also assessed by mass spectrometry. Pretreatment with Cur-rHDLs followed by incubation with MGO showed a protective effect on MGO-induced cytotoxicity and chromatin condensation, as well as a strong protective effect on ROS production, endothelial cell barrier integrity, and ER stress. These results suggest that Cur-rHDLs could be used as a potential therapeutic agent to limit MGO-induced dysfunction in cerebrovascular endothelial cells by enhancing the bioavailability and protective effects of curcumin.
