摘要: 目的 探讨阿托伐他汀对动脉粥样硬化(AS)大鼠主动脉平滑肌细胞(VSMC)调节及转录因子AP1的作用。方法 80只大鼠随机分为: 普通饲料组、AS组、阿托伐他汀高低剂量组(40和10mg/kg?d)。用原位TUNEL检测细胞凋亡;用免疫组化检测血管中AP1和α-SM-actin蛋白表达;用蛋白免疫印迹法检测血管相关蛋白AP1表达。结果 阿托伐他汀高和低剂量组TG、TC和LDL明显下降( P < 0.05)。阿托伐他汀抑制AS大鼠VSMC增殖,促进其促凋亡(P<0.05)。阿托伐他汀干预后AS大鼠VSMC中AP1和α-SM-actin蛋白表达明显减少(P<0.05)。结论 阿托伐他汀通过下调AP1抑制AS大鼠VSMC增殖及促凋亡。

Abstract: Objective To investigate atorvastatin inhibits the proliferation and ptomotes apoptosis of VSMC bythe transcription factor AP1 in rats.Methods 80 rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal group,AS group, high-dose atorvastatin group (40mg/kg?d), low-dose atorvastatin group (10mg/kg?d).The VSMC apoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay.The protein expression level of AP1 andα-SM-actin were measured by immunohistochemical analysis and western blotting. Results TG、TC and LDL were significantly decreased in two atorvastatin groups (P<0.05). Atorvastatin significantly inhibited the VSMC proliferation and induced apoptosis (P<0.05). Atorvastatin regulated AP1 andα-SM-actin protein expression was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Conclusions Our results showed that the atorvastatin suppresses proliferation and promote apoptosis of VSMC through down-regulation of AP1 expression in rats.
