Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of TanshinoneⅡA(TSN) on vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs) induced by high glucose and its relationship with MAPK signal pathway.Methods After the establishment of the model of diabetic rats,the aortic of rats was isolated and cultured.DNA synthesis was analyzed by ELISA of BrdU.The activity of MAPK was measured by liquid scintillation counting.Results TSN inhibited the proliferation and DNA synthesis of vascular smooth muscle cells from diabetic rats in dose-dependent manner.TSN at the dosage of 0.5 mg/L significantly decreased the activity of MAPK as well as of U0126.Conclusion The effect of TSN on the proliferation and DNA synthesis of vascular smooth muscle cells from diabetic rats is potentially mediated by inhibition of MAPK.
