摘要: 目的 研究G蛋白耦联受体APJ的内源性配体多肽apelin-13对大鼠血管平滑肌细胞(VSMCs)增殖的影响及其与ERK1/2信号通路的关系。方法 采用噻唑蓝比色法(MTT)、Western blot等方法观察apelin-13对体外培养大鼠VSMCs增殖的影响及细胞周期蛋白表达的变化。结果 apelin-13浓度依赖性促进VSMCs增殖,且cyclin D1表达增加;ERK1/2阻断剂PD98059可明显抑制apelin-13诱导的细胞增殖及pERK1/2、cyclin D1表达。结论 apelin-13能促进大鼠VSMCs增殖,其机制可能与apelin/APJ-ERK1/2-cyclin D1信号通路有关。

Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of G protein-coupled receptor APJ endogenous ligand apelin-13 on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs),and investigate whether the effect is related to apelin/APJ-pERK1/2 -cyclin D1 signal transduction pathway. Methods The cell proliferation were measured by MTT assay and the expression of cyclin D1 and pERK1/2 were determined by Western blot.The rusults showed that apelin-13 can stimulated VSMC proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. Western blot analysis showed that apelin-13 stimulated the expression of cyclin D1 and pERK1/2. The ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 decreased the expression of pERK1/2 induced by apelin-13. Similarly, PD98059 partially diminished the expression of cyclin D1, and inhibited the VSMCs proliferation stimulated by apelin-13. Conclusion Apelin-13 can stimulated the proliferation of VSMC and the effect was possibly mediated by apelin/APJ- pERK1/2-cyclin D1 signal cascades.
