Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To study the inhibitory effect mechanism of rhynchophylline solid lipid nanoparticles (Rhy-SLN) on the proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) in asthmatic model mice. METHODS Asthma model was prepared by ovalbumin+calmogastrin sensitization. The primary isolation and culture of ASMCs were performed, and morphological observation and identification were also conducted [when α -smooth muscle actin (α -SMA) appeared red and Desmin appeared green in ASMCs, indicating successful cultivation of ASMCs]. The cells were divided into blank group (ASMCs of normal mice), model group (ASMCs of asthma model mice), Rhy-SLN group (ASMCs of asthma model mice), recombinant suppressors of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) overexpression group (ASMCs of asthma model mice transfected with SOCS1 vector), SOCS1-RNAi group (ASMCs of asthma model mice transfected with SOCS1-RNAi vector) and SB203580 group [p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) inhibitor, ASMCs of asthma model mice]. The cells of each group were added into the corresponding culture medium containing drug (10 μmol/L) or not containing drug for 24 hours. MTT method was used to detect the proliferation of ASMCs in asthmatic mice; Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expressions of α-SMA, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), SOCS1, p38 MAPK and phosphorylated p38 MAPK (p-p38 MAPK) in ASMCs. RESULTS The primary ASMCs of mice varied in shape and size, presenting irregular, spindle and triangular shapes;α-SMA appeared red and Desmin appeared green, indicating successful cultivation of ASMCs. Compared with model group, ASMCs absorbance values and protein expressions of α -SMA, p38 MAPK, and p-p38 MAPK were reduced significantly in Rhy- SLN group, SOCS1 overexpression group and SB203580 E-mail:wangmeng106@163.com group, while protein expression of SOCS1 (except for group) was increased significantly (P<0.05); protein expressions of IL-1β was reduced significantly in ASMCs (P< 0.05). ASMCs absorbance values and protein expressions of α-SMA, SOCS1, p38 MAPK and p-p38 MAPK were increased significantly in SOCS1-RNAi group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Rhy-SLN can inhibit the proliferation of ASMCs, the mechanism of which may be associated with overexpression of SOCS1 and inhibiting the protein expressions of IL-1β and p38 MAPK.
