Abstract:
Aim To study the effect of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline on the proliferation of rat vascular smooth muscle cell(VSMCs)induced by angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ)and discuss it's mechanism.Methods A cell proliferating model of VSMC induced by AngⅡ was established.The proliferative activity of VSMC with rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline was analyzed by MTT method.The effect of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline on cell cycle of VSMC was observed by flow cytometry.The effect of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline on protein of AT1R gene,NF-?B gene,Stat3 gene,c-Myc gene and c-Fos gene in VSMCs was observed by flow cytometry.The effect of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline on c-Myc mRNA and c-Fos mRNA in VSMCs was observed by RT-PCR.Results The proliferation of VSMC induced by AngⅡ stimulation was inhibited by rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline,and the cell numbers of G0/G1 phase were increased and those of S phase were decreased markedly.At the same time,high expression of the protein of c-Myc gene,c-Fos gene,AT1R gene,NF-?B gene and stat3 gene stimulated by AngⅡ could be inhibited by rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline significantly,and high expression of c-Myc gene mRNA and c-Fos gene mRNA stimulated by AngⅡ could also be inhibited by rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline significantly.Conclusions The proliferation of VSMCs induced by AngⅡ can be inhibited by rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline.The mechanisms are related to preventing VSMCs from G0/G1 phase entering S phase,and down regulating the expression of protein of AT1R gene,NF-?B gene,Stat3 gene,c-Myc gene and c-Fos gene.In addition,c-Myc gene mRNA and c-Fos gene mRNA expression are down regulated as well.
