Objective To study the change of the expression of cellular growth factor receptor and its effect on the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) under electrical field. Methods 1) A electrophoresis apparatus was designed for applying the direct current electric fields to the cultured VSMCs, which were separated from the aorta of rats. Interval photographs were used to analyse the direction and distance of VSMCs migration. Cellular growth factors such as platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) and its type 2 receptor(AT2R) were studied by immunohistochemistry or immunofluorescence to show the mechanism relation to the migration of VSMCs. Results Under the direct current electric field, the expression of PDGFR was increased obviously and distributed asymmetricly on the membrane of VSMCs. The receptor mainly focused on the cathode side of cellular membrane in electric field. The AT1R were also enhanced in the cells after exposure to the electric field, but the expression of AT2R was uncharged. The longer exposure time to the 150 mV/mm electric field, the more electrotaxis the cells showed. The distance of cellular migration increased obviously with the time to exposure the electric field comparing with the control group. There was no significant difference in the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) between two groups. Conclusion External electric fields applying to the rat VSMCs can change the growth characteristic and enhance directional migration of VSMCs. These effects maybe related to the up-regulated expression and re-distribution of some cellular growth factors such as PDGFR, AT1R and AT2R.

AIM:To evaluate the effects of atorvastatin on nitric oxide(NO),endothelin-1(ET-1)and myocardial no-reflow in a rabbit model of acute myocardial infarction and reperfusion(AMI/R). METHODS:Twenty-four rabbits were randomized into 3 groups:8 in AMI/R group,8 in atorvastatin-treated group(5 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1))and 8 in sham-operated group. Animals in the former two groups were subjected to 60 min of coronary occlusion followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Data on haemodynamics were collected. NO in blood sample,and in normal,and in infarcted reflow and no-reflow myocardium were evaluated respectively by nitrate reductase method. The levels of ET-1 in blood sample,and in normal,infarcted reflow and no-reflow myocardium were determined by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS:(1)Compared to the baselines,the heart rate(HR),systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP),maximal rate of increase and decline in left ventricular pressure(±dp/dt_(max))and cardiac output(CO)in AMI/R and atorvastatin-treated groups were significantly declined,whereas left ventricular end-diastolic pressure(LVEDP)was increased after 60 min of coronary occlusion and 120 min of reperfusion(P<0.05 or P<0.01). However,in atorvastatin-treated group,LVSP,LVEDP,±dp/dt_(max) and CO at the time point of 120 min of reperfusion recovered more significantly than those at the time point of 60 min of coronary occlusion(P<0.01),which was more significant than those in AMI/R group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared to AMI/R group,the SBP and DBP were significantly heigher in atorvastatin-treated group(P<0.01).(2)In atorvastatin-treated group,the levels of ET-1 in blood sample were significantly lower than those in AMI/R group(P<0.01),and the levels of NO were significantly higher(P<0.01). Moreover,the levels of NO or ET-1 in infarcted reflow myocardium were significantly lower than that in AMI/R group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).(3)Atorvastatin could ameliorate myocardial function. CONCLUSION:Atorvastatin is effective in increasing NO and reducing ET-1 in blood plasma and local myocardium,and in protection of endothelial cells. Atorvastatin also has a beneficial effect on improving left ventricular function during acute myocardial infarction and reperfusion in rabbits.

Objective To study the effect on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC) after transferring angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ) type 2 receptor(AT2R) gene.Methods The recombinant adenoviral vector AdcCMV-AT2R, containing rat AT2 receptor gene which was constracted by homologous recombination, was used to transfer AT2 receptor gene to rat VSMC in vitro. The expression of AT2R mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. The rate of expression and the change of cell cycle in VSMC were analysed by flow cytometry. Cell devision index, incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine(BrdU)and 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenytetrazolium bromide(MTT) were used to determine the proliferation of VSMC, respectively.Results RT-PCR showed that the expression of AT2R mRNA increased obviously in transferred VSMC, and the peak value of expression rate was about 89.51% at 48 hours. When the expression of AT2R was at peak value, the ratio of S and G2-M periods was reduced from 31.7% to 13.9%(P<0.05) and the index of cell division from 37.4% to 9.6%(P<0.01). The OD values of MTT and BrdU incorporation were reduced by 61.4% and 51.6% respectively(P<0.01).Conclusion Our study indicates that AdCMV-AT2R can generate high level expression of AT2 receptor in cultured rat VSMC and its expression can significantly inhibit the proliferation of rats VSMC in vitro. It may be a new selection for the gene therapy of restenosis after angioplasty.
