3.The establishment and identification of human umbilical artery endothelial cells-smooth muscle cells co-culture model
Fudan University Journal of Medical Sciences 2009;36(6):768-775
Objective To establish a human umbilical artery EC-SMC co-culture model, and mimic the morphological and functional characteristics of human arterial wall, for further reseach of the pathological mechanism and therapy of atherosclerosis and imflammatory damage. Methods We secceeded in the primary culture of human umbilical artery endothelial cells (HUAEC) and human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells (HUASMC) by collagenase perfusion digestion and tissue planting, respectively. HUASMCs were incubated in a medium with ascorbic acid at the concentration greater than 50 μg/mL to produce collagen, which was considered as the extracellular matrix for ECs. Then HUAECs were seeded directly upon HUASMCs in a saturate density for sufficient direct physical interaction between ECs and SMCs. The morphological characteristic of EC-SMC co-culture was identified by immunofluorescence staining, and the function of EC-SMC co-culture was identified by Dil-Ac-LDL uptake test. Results The morphological identification showed that the entire surface of HUASMCs was covered by a confluent monolayer confluent monolayer, which indicated that the model had simulated the morphological characteristic of human arterial wall. The results of Dil-Ac-LDL uptake test showed that there was a fluorescent signal in HUAECs. Compared with EC monoculture, the Dil-Ac-LDL uptake of HUAECs was increased significantly in the co-culture system. All the reseach results indicated that there was an interaction between HUAECs and HUASMCs in the co-culture system. Conclusions In the present study, human umbilical artery EC-SMC co-culture model was constructed successfully, which could mimic the morphological characteristic and basic functions of human arterial wall.

Journal of Chinese Physician 2009;11(1):21-24
Objective To investigate the effect of losartan,an angiotensin 1I type 1 receptor antagonist(ATlRA),on transforming growth factor-β1 expression in alcoholic nephropathy in rats.Methods Male adult Wistar rats were random divided into three subgroups and treated daily for 12 weeks as follows,rats were treated with normal saline[20ml/(kg·d)gavage twicely]in vehicle group,rats were treatedwith alcohol[400g/L,8g/(kg·d)gavage twieely]in alcoholic nephropathy,and rats were concomitantly treated with alcohol and Iosartan [200mg/L,ling/(kg·d),gavage]in alcohol+losartan.HE staining,Sirius red staining,electronic microscope,and immunohistochemistry were used to examine histologic changes,collagen fibers deposition,and the expression of TGF-BI.Results Compared with vehicle treated rats,alcoholic nephropathy rats showed tubular vacuolation,granular degeneration,swelling,tubulointerstitial inflammatory cell infil tration,and rarely mesangial proliferation and matrix deposition.Sirius red staining displayed a significant increase in collagen fibers in alias of glomemli,tubulointerstitium and vessels.Concomitant administration of losartan reversed all of above parameters(P<0.05).The upregulated expression of TGF-β1 proteins was significantly suppressed by losartan treatment(P<0.05).Conclusions These findings suggest that alcoholic nephropathy is characterized by the tubular granular degeneration,vacuolation,swelling,and tubulointemtitial inflammato-ry cell infiltration,and this is associated with upregulation of TGF-β1.Losartan treatment offers protection effect by downregulating TGF-β1 expression.
