Abstract:
AIM:To investigate the effect and mechanism of panax notoginseng saponins(PNS)inhibiting the proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells(PASMCs)in rats under the ef-fect of monocrotaline(MCT).METHODS:PASMCs cultured in vitro were randomly divided into the normal control(Control)group,the monocrotaline(MCT)group,the panax notoginseng saponins(PNS)group,the knockdown(M+Si ADAM10)group,the knockdown postconditioning(M+P+Si ADAM10)group,the overexpression(M+OE AD-AM10)group,and the overexpression postcondi-tioning(M+P+OE ADAM10)group.After the model was constructed,the cell viability of each group was measured using the CCK-8 assay,along with Western blot utilized to detect the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA),disinteg-rin metalloproteinase 10(ADAM10),and notch ho-mology protein-3(Notch3)at the cellular neurogen-ic locus,respectively.RESULTS:Under the effect of MCT,the viability of PASMCs was significantly en-hanced(P<0.05 or P<0.01);0-400 mg/L PNS was not toxic to the viability of normal cells,and 100 mg/L PNS could significantly inhibit the MCT-in-duced viability(P<0.01).After the knockdown of ADAM10,the viability of PASMCs significantly de-clined(P<0.01),and the expression of PCNA protein was significantly decreased(P<0.05),evidently in the M+P+Si ADAM10 group.Meanwhile,the ex-pression of ADAM10 and Notch3 protein was signif-icantly decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),evidently in the M+P+Si ADAM10 group.After overexpression of ADAM10,the viability of PASMCs was significant-ly enhanced(P<0.01),the expression of PCNA pro-tein was significantly increased(P<0.01),the PCNA value was slightly higher(P>0.05),and the expres-sion of ADAM10 and Notch3 protein was signifi-cantly elevated(P<0.05)in the M+P+OE ADAM10 group.Additionally,PASMCs overexpressing AD-AM10 with concomitant PNS exhibited a significant decrease in the expression of PCNA protein com-pared with PASMCs knocking down ADAM10(P<0.01),and the expression of ADAM10 and Notch3 protein declined to varying degrees(P>0.05).CON-CLUSION:Panax notoginseng saponins can mitigate MCT-induced PASMCs proliferation in rats by inhib-iting the ADAM10/Notch3 signaling pathway.
