Abstract:
Objective: To study the effect and mechanism of tanshinone IIA on human skin fibroblasts cell (HSF). Methods: CCK- 8 method was used to determine the effect of different concentrations of TSA on the proliferation of HSF induced by TGF-β1. The plate cloning ability of HSF treated with different concentrations of TSA (2.5, 5, 10 and 20 μmol/L) for 48 h were analyzed by plate clonogenesis assay. The protein expression of TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway proteins and α-SMA, VEGFA and COL I were further measured by Western blotting. Results: CCK-8 and plate clonognesis assay results showed that TSA significantly inhibited the proliferation and colony forming efficiency of HSF (P < 0.01). Western blotting results revealed that each concentration group of TSA significantly inhibited the protein levels of p-Smad2 and p-Smad3, and down-regulated the ratio of p-Smad2/Smad2 (P < 0.01). The ratio of p-Smad3/Smad3 was significantly decreased in 5, 10 and 20 μmol/L TSA groups. Additionally, the expression levels of α-SMA, VEGFA and COL I in HSF decreased significantly with the increase of TSA concentration (P < 0.01). Conclusion: TSA exhibits the inhibitory effect on proliferation of HSF, and its mechanism may be related to TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway.
