AIM: To investigate the effects of platelet-derived growth factor on DNA and collagen protein synthesis in human vascular fibroblasts. METHODS: In the present experiment, the human vascular fibroblasts were cultured and effects of platelet-derived growth factor-BB on DNA and collagen protein synthesis in human vascular fibroblasts were observed by using [3H]-TdR incorporation and [3H]-proline incorporation in vitro. RESULTS: Platelet-derived growth factor-BB significantly promoted NDA synthesis and collagen protein synthesis of quiescent human vascular fibroblasts, with a maximal response at a concentration of 30μg·L-1at 24 h and 36 h, respectively. CONCLUSION: Platelet-derived growth factor-BB promotes DNA and collagen protein synthesis in cultured human vascular fibroblasts.  相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of homocysteine (HCY) on proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts and the effect of HCY on collagen prodution of airway fibroblasts. METHODS: [3H]-TdR incorpora- tion was measured in cultured airway smooth muscle cells. The [3H]-TdR and [3H]-proline incorporation were mea- sured in cultured airway fibroblasts. RESULTS: HCY induced proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts in a concentration - dependent manner. HCY also induced collagen production of airway fibroblasts in a concentration - dependent manner. The inhibitors of protein kinase C, H7 and polymyxin B, inhibited HCY - induced proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells. CONCLUSIONS: HCY induced proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts, HCY also induced collagen production of airway fibroblasts. The HCY - induced proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells may be related to the pathway of PKC signal transduction.  相似文献

AIM:To study the effects of exogenous metallothionein (MT) and ZnCl2-induced MT production on biological action of homocysteine(HCY)in vascular fibroblasts.METHODS:[3H]-TdR, [3H]-Pro incorporation and LDH leakage were measured, the cellular viabilities were calculated by trypan blue exclusion test and the intracellular contents of MT were assayed by [109Cd]-hemoglobin saturation method in cultured rat vascular fibroblasts.RESULTS:Proliferation, collagen production of vascular fibroblasts in HCY-treated group were significantly increased compared with control group in a concentration-depedant manner. HCY (500 μmol/L) increased LDH leakage and decreased the cellular viabilities (P<0.05 or P<0.01). [3H]-TdR incorporation, [3H]-Pro incorporation, collagen secretion and LDH leakage were all decreased in MT (1×10-5 mol/L, 1×10-4mol/L) plus HCY(500 μmol/L) incubated group, compared with HCY alone group, respectively (P<0.05 or P<0.01). MT content in ZnCl2 pretreatment group was increased compared with control group. Proliferation, collagen production and LDH leakage in HCY group pretreated with ZnCl2 were decreased whereas the cellular viabilities were increased compared with HCY alone group.CONCLUSIONS:The results shows that HCY induces proliferation and collagen production of vascular fibroblasts. Both exogenous MT and endogenous MT induced by ZnCl2 inhibite the above-mentioned effects of HCY on vascular fibroblasts. MT inhibites vascular fibroblast activation induced by HCY, which may be related to its vascular protection.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of Salidroside on the proliferation, DNA synthesis, intracellular Ca2+ content of rabbit PASMC (pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells) under hypoxia. METHODS: Techniques of cell culture, MTT test, [3H][3H][3H]-TdR incorporation, fluo-3 and confocal laser scanning microscopy were used. RESULTS: The A value of MTT and [3H][3H]-TdR incorporation of PASMC increased significantly by 62% (P<0.05) and 138% (P<0.01) after 24 h hypoxia. Salidroside (32×10-5 mol/L) inhibited the action of hypoxia on the proliferation of PASMC, the A value of MTT and [3H][3H]-TdR incorporation declined significantly by 29% (P<0.05) and 37% (P<0.01) compared with hypoxia group. A calcium channel blocker, verapamil could also inhibit the accelerative effect of hypoxia on the proliferation of PASMC. The intracelluler Ca2+ content of PASMC raised markedly under hypoxia, but the effect of hypoxia on the intracelluler Ca2+ content could be inhibited by Salidroside. CONCLUSION: Salidroside inhibited the proliferation, DNA synthesis of PASMC induced by hypoxia. The inhibitory action of Salidroside on the increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration under hypoxia might be one of the mechenisms.  相似文献

AIM: The effect of urotensin II (U-II) on proliferation of cultured pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) of rabbits and its mechanism are investigated. METHODS: PASMCs were isolated using explant technique. RPASMCs were incubated in serum-free medium with different concentrations of nicardipine, calcimodulin antagonist W7, PKC inhibitor H7 or MAPK inhibitor (PD98059), with or without U-II. RPASMC proliferation was examined by MTT assay and by the increase in [3H]-thymidine incorporation into DNA. RESULTS: U-II (10-9 mol/L-10-7 mol/L) increased A value of PASMCs by MTT assay and [3H]-thymidine incorporation in PASMCs in a dose-dependent manner. U-II induced a maximal effect at a concentration of 10-7 mol/L. A value and [3H]-thymidine incorporation rose 42.9% and 68.5% (P<0.05), respectively. U-II had no effect at a concentration of 10-10 mol/L. Nicardipine, W7, H7, PD98059 (10-7 mol/L-10-5 mol/L) inhibited the effect of U-II in inducing increase of A value and -thymidine incorporation in a dose-dependent manner, with the maximal inhibitory rate of 42.3%, 19.6%, 23.2%, 10.5% (P<0.05) in A value and 46.6%, 9.8%, 21.7%, 14.7% (P<0.05) in [3H]-thymidine incorporation at concentration of 10-5 mol/L, respectively. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that U-II may induce proliferation of PASMCs of rabbits by Ca2+, CaM, PKC and MAPK signal transduction pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To observe the effects of Yangxue qingnao-containing serum on rat vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation induced by lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). METHODS: The [3H]-TdR incorporation and mitogen-activated protein kinasc (MAPK) activity were measured in cultured VSMC. End product of lipid peroxidation-MDA levels were also detected. RESULTS: 1×10-9,1×10-8 and 1×10-7 mol/L LPA enhanced the cultured VSMC [3H]-TdR incorporation, increased MAPK activity and MDA content in a concentration-dependent manner. 5%, 10% and 15% Yangxue qingnao-containing serum concentration-dependently inhibited the increase in VSMC [3H]-TdR incorporation, MAPK activity and MDA content induced by LPA. CONCLUSIONS: LPA has a stimulating effect on VSMC proliferation. The LPA-induced intracellular signal transduction may be related to MAPK activity. Yangxue-qingnao can efficiently inhibit LPA -induced VSMC proliferation,MAPK activity and lipid peroxidation.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i) from different resources on the proliferation mediated by mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). METHODS: Cultured VSMCs were used in all experiments. Calcium influx was stimulated by angiotension Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ). The release of intracellular calcium stores was induced by inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and ryanodine (RY). MAPK activity was measured by [γ-32P]-ATP incorporation MAPK protein expression by western blot, VSMCs proliferation by [3H]-Leucine ([3H]-Leu) and [3H]-Thymidine ([3H]-TdR) incorporation. RESULTS: Compared to the control VSMCs, Ang Ⅱ, IP3 and RY significantly increased [Ca2+]i concentration activity of MAPK and its protein content in VSMCs. The promotion of [3H]-Leu and [3H]-TdR incorporation in VSMCs was also observed (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The study indicated that calcium activator-induced increase in the activity and protein content of MAPK was involved in the proliferation of VSMCs, which was closely related to the [Ca2+]i concentration but independent to its origin.  相似文献

AIM:To observe the effect of simvastatin on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs) induced by serum and growth factor PDGF-BB and the effect of simvastatin on the expression of PTEN,a important regulator of G1/S cell cycle transition. METHODS:The DNA synthesis was determined by [3H]-TdR incorporation, cell cycle was examined with flow cytometry, the protein level of PTEN was measured by Western blot method. RESULTS: (1)Simvastatin inhibited [3H]-TdR incorporation in a dose dependent manner. (2) Flow cytometric DNA analysis revealed that simvastatin induced significantly enhancement of G0/G1 phase and decrease in S phase VSMCs.(3)Simvastatin increased protein level of PTEN and mevalonate, a metabolite of HMG-COA, reversed the effect of simvastatin on PTEN protein expression. CONCLUSION:Simvastatin may inhibit proliferation of VSMCs and retarded cell cycle in G0/G1 phase by increasing PTEN expression through inhibiting synthesis of mevalonate.  相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of thyroid hormone on the expressional change of myosin heavy chain(MHC) gene in cardiomyocyte induced by angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ) and its potential mechanism. METHODS: Cardiac myocyte was cultured according to the method of Simpson. 10-8 mol/L T3 and 10-7 mol/L AngⅡ were added to the culture medium, respectively or synchronously. After 48 h, the expression of α and β-MHC mRNA in myocytes were detected by RT-PCR. The protein kinase C activation were detected by PepTag non-radioactive PKC assay. The incorporation of -Leucine and [3H]-thymine to test the protein and DNA synthesis in myocytes were also performed. RESULTS: AngⅡalone increased the incorporation of [3H]-Leucine of myocytes while it had no effect on the incorporation of [3H]-thy mine. The expression of β-MHC mRNA was increased and the expression of α-MHC mRNA was decreased significantly at the condition of AngⅡ. The enhanced PKC activation was induced by AngⅡalso. When AngⅡand T3 were added to the culture medium synchronously, though the incorporation of [3H]-leucine and [3H]-thymine were not changed compared with AngⅡ treated alone. The α-MHC mRNA expression was increased and the β-MHC mRNA expression was decreased significantly. The PKC activation of the myocytes also was decreased. CONCLUSIONS: T3 inhibited the expressional change of myosin heavy chain gene in cardiac myocytes induced by AngⅡ. The effect of T3 on the change of PKC activation in cardiac myocytes may be one of its mechanisms.  相似文献

AIM:To observe the effect of adrenomedullin(ADM)on proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC) induced by urotensin Ⅱ(UⅡ). METHODS:DNA synthesis of cultured rat aortic VSMC was measured by [3H]-TdR incorporation. The activities of mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK) were determined by isotope tagged with [γ-32P]-ATP. RESULTS:UⅡ(10-8mol/L) significantly increased [3H]-TdR incorporation of VSMC and MAPK activities by 38%(P<0.05) and 260%(P<0.01) respectively compared with control group. Compared with UⅡ group, 10-10,10-9,10-8mol/L ADM decreased [3H]-TdR incorporation of VSMC by 7%(P>0.05), 32%(P<0.05)and 41%(P<0.01),respectively, and diminished MAPK activities by 24%(P>0.05), 32%(P<0.05)and 36%(P<0.05),respectively. CONCLUSION:ADM inhibits proliferation of VSMC induced by urotensin Ⅱ through inhibiting MAPK activation.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the bio-effects of salusins on rat heart and cardiomyocytes. METHODS: The cardiac function was determined by multipurpose polygraph in isolated rat heart treated with various concentrations of salusin-α or salusin-β.[45Ca2+] and[3H]-Leu incorporation were determined in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes with β-liquid scintillation counter. RESULTS: 10-12-10-7mol/L salusin-α and salusin-β had no effects on isolated rat cardiac function. However, salusin-α and salusin-β stimulated uptake and[3H]-Leu incorporation. The [45Ca2+] uptake induced by salusins were inhibited by nicardipine, and were synergistically increased by endothelin-1. The[3H]-Leu incorporation induced by salusin-α and salusin-β was inhibited by nicardipine, FK506 (a special inhibitor of carcineulin), PD98059 (inhibitor of MAPK) and chelerthine (inhibitor of PKC). The effects of salusin-β[45Ca2+] on uptake was stronger than those of salusin-α. But there were no statistical difference in[3H]-Leu incorporation between salusin-α and salusin-β. CONCLUSIONS: Salusin-α and salusin-β did not affect directly cardiac function in rat hearts. But salusins improved calcium uptake and protein synthesize in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Those effects of salusins were related with calcium channel, carcinuelin, MAPK and PKC signal pathways. Salusins may be the regulatory factors for myocardium growth and hypertrophy.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the role of PI3K-IP3R-Ca2+ pathways in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). METHODS: Myocardial cells of neonatal rats were cultured in vitro. The hypertrophic model was induced by TNF-α. The protein content was assayed with Lowry's method. The volumes of the cardiomyocytes were detected by computer photograph analysis system. The protein synthesis was determined by the method of[3H]-leucine incorporation.[Ca2+]i transient was measured by Till image system with cell-loading Fura-2/AM. RESULTS: LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor, significantly suppressed the amplitude elevation of the spontaneous[Ca2+]i transients induced by TNF-α in cultured ventricular myocytes from neonatal rats. The effect was similar to that of LY294002+2-APB (P>0.05), but lower than that in LY294002+ryanodine group (P<0.05). LY294002 significantly reduced the enhancements of protein content,[3H]-leucine incorporation and cell size induced by TNF-α. The effect was similar to that in 2-APB+LY294002 group, but higher than that in 2-APB group and lower than that in ryanodine+LY294002 group. CONCLUSION: TNF-α induces cardiac hypertrophy through PI3K-IP3R-Ca2+ pathways.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect of inwardly rectifying potassium channel (IK1) agonist zacopride (Zac) on angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ)-induced viability and apoptosis of cardiac fibroblasts (CFb) and to explore the underlying anti-fibrosis mechanism.METHODS:The ventricular fibroblasts from neonatal SD rats were isolated and cultured by tissue digestion and differential adherence methods. The model of rat cardiac fibroblast activation induced by angiotensin Ⅱ was established. The CFb were randomly divided into control group, Ang Ⅱ model group, Ang Ⅱ+Zac group, Ang Ⅱ+Zac+BaCl2 group, AngⅡ+Zac+chloroquine group and Ang Ⅱ+captopril group. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effect of Zac on the viability of CFb. The amount of collagen I and collagen Ⅲ secreted by CFb was determined by ELISA. The apoptosis of the CFb was analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein expression of Kir2.1 was determined by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with the control group, the viability and collagen synthesis of the CFb were significantly increased, along with decreased Kir2.1 expression (P<0.05). Compared with the Ang Ⅱ model group, Zac treatment inhibited the viability and collagen synthesis of the CFb, induced apoptosis and up-regulated Kir2.1 expression (P<0.05). IK1 blockers BaCl2 and chloroquine reversed the effect of Zac. CONCLUSION:By enhancing IK1 (Kir2.1) expression, Zac attenuates Ang Ⅱ-induced ventricular fibrosis, in response to the inhibition of cell viability and induction of apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate whether leukotriene D4(LTD4) would stimulates proliferation of cultured human airway smooth muscle (ASMC). METHOD: Human ASMC were isolated and subcultured, varying concentration of LTD4 were added to the media. Cell counts were obtained, -thymidine([3H]-TdR) incorporation and inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate (IP3) accumulation were measured. RESULTS: LTD4(0.1nmol·L-1~10 nmol·L-1) increased cell number and also increased incorporation of[3H]-TdR and accumulation of IP3 in a concentration dependent manner(P<0.01). The latter response was blocked by phospholipase C inhibition with neomycin (1 μmoL·L-1(P<0.01). However, neomycin had no effect on the promitogenic action of LTD4. CONCLUSION: LTD4 stimulates proliferation of cultured human ASMC and may play a role in airway remodeling of asthma.  相似文献

AIM: Although endovascular radiotherapy inhibits neointimal hyperplasia, the exact alterations induced by β-particles irradiation remain to be elucidated. The objective of this study was to investigate the ability and the cellular mechanism of local β-particles emission from 188Re to inhibit vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). METHODS: The SMCs in vitro were irradiated by 188Re with single doses of 2.6 Gy-25.8 Gy. The effects of β-particles on SMCs, such as effective irradiate doses, the period of inhibition for SMCs proliferation, the changes of cell proliferation rate and DNA synthesis rate, cell cycle progression and related gene expression, were investigated by cell count, [3H]-TdR incorporation, cell cycle progression analysis, cell viability and immunocytochemistry, respectivecy. RESULTS: β-particles irradiation with dose of 5.2 Gy could inhibit significantly SMCs proliferation. At dose of 20.6 Gy DNA synthesis inhibitory rate was 92%, SMCs proliferation rate was only 3%. Renoval of 188Re did not abolish the inhibitory effects of β-particles on SMCs proliferation. The expression of P53 was up regulation and PCNA was down regulation after irradiation. CONCLUSION: β-particles from 188 Re was significantly effective and permanent in inhibiting SMCs proliferation, and inhibitory effect was in dose-dependet manner ED50was 5 Gy, the best dose to inhibit SMCs proliferation was 20 Gy. β-particles irradiation induced SMCs to occur G0/G1 arrest, damaged the ability of SMCs reproliferation and led to cell clonogenic death. P53 and PCNA had regulatiory effects on SMCs proliferation after β-particles irradiation.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) on β3 integrin gene expression and the role of β3 integrin on adhesion, migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) induced by PDGF. METHODS: β3 integxin gene expression was detected by RT-PCr. After β3 integrin extracellular do-main was blocks, VSMC adhesio, migration and proliferation were measured by adhesion assay awound-culture model an [3H]-TSR incorporation respectively.RESULTS: After the interaction between β3 integrin and extracellular matrix was blocked, VSMC proliferation was inhibited in some degree and the rate of [3H]-TdR incorporation into VSMC decreased 39%. The cell adhesion and migration were significantly inhibited when 10 mg/L anti-β3 integrin antibody was added (P<0.05). When VSMC were treated by PDGF for 6 hours, the expression of β3 integrin gene was 87% higher than that of control. CONCLUSION: PDGF significantly induces expression of β3 integrin gene in VSMC, and the interaction between β3 integrin and ECM protein may play an important role in VSMC adhesion and migration.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of taurine on calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).METHODS: Calcified VSMCs of rat in vitro were induced by β-glycerophosphate. Cellular calcium content, alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activities and [45Ca]accumulation were measured. DNA synthesis were evaluated by [3H]-thymidine ( [3H]-TdR) incorporation. RESULTS: Calcium content, ALP activities and [45Ca]uptake of calcified VSMCs stimulated by taurine (5-20 mmol/L) were greatly decreased in a concentration-dependent manner as compared with calcified group (P<0.01). Taurine also inhibited the proliferation of calcified cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Cell countingz, [3H]-TdR incorporation of calcified cells stimulated by taurine were greatly decreased as compared with calcified VSMCs (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: It was demonstrated that calcification of VSMCs may be alleviated by taurine.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate the role of proliferation and apoptosis in hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and the effect of AT1 blockade with losartan. METHODS:Left ventricles (LV) from 12, 24-week-old SHR (SHR12, SHR24), 24-week-old SHR treated with losartan (15 mg·kg-1·d-1, SHR-L24) during 12 weeks, and age-matched WKY rats (WKY12, WKY24) were studied. Expression of PCNA was examined by immunohistochemistry. Apoptotic cells in LV sections were assessed by TUNEL method. Levels of fas mRNA were quantitated by RT-PCR. RESULTS: Compared with age-matched WKY, SHR12 and SHR24 showed increased LV hypertrophied index (HI), increased apoptotic index (AI) of myocytes (P<0.01), but decreased AI of fibroblasts (P<0.05). Moreover, SHR12 exhibited increased PCNA labeling of myocytes (P<0.05) with similar positive rates of fibroblasts.It was also showed that losartan reversed HI, significantly reduced the AI of myocytes and significantly increased the AI of fibroblasts. RT-PCR disclosed that levels of fas mRNA positively correlated with the frequency of apoptosis in LV of either SHR or WKY (r=0.52, P<0.05). CONCLUSION:The cellular changes of LVH in adult SHR manifest as the imbalance between proliferation and apoptosis of myocytes, and insufficient apoptosis of fibroblasts. The mechanisms of losartan on reversing LVH may be mediated through adjusting the abnormal amount of cells and the expression of fas gene.  相似文献
