Abstract:
Aim To explore the anti-proliferation effects of curcumin trinicotinate ( CurTn ) on vascular smooth muscle cell ( VSMC ) and its mechanism. Methods The cells were cultured in DMEM supple-mented with 10% fetal bovine serum. MTT assay was used to examine cell proliferation. FCM was used to observe cell cycle. The expressions of PCNA, Cy-clinD1 and p-ERK1/2 were analyzed using Western blot. Results CurTn could inhibit the proliferation of VSMC and showed a certain amount-time relationship. What’ s more, CurTn could increase the G1 phase pro-portion of cell, decrease the S phase proportion and the expression level of PCNA protein. It was also found that CurTn significantly inhibit the protein expression of p-ERK1/2 and Cyclin D1 . Conclusion CurTn may inhibit the proliferation of VSMC via downregulating the expression of CyclinD1 and p-ERK1/2 .
