To explore the role and mechanism of Notch signaling and ERK1/2 pathway in the inhibitory effect of sacubitril/valsartan on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).
Human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (HA-VSMCs) were cultured in vitro. The proliferating VSMCs were divided into three groups as control group, Ang II group and Ang II + sacubitril/valsartan group. Cell proliferation and migration were detected by CCK8 and scratch test respectively. The mRNA and protein expression of PCNA, MMP-9, Notch1 and Jagged-1 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot respectively. The p-ERK1/2 expression was detected by Western blot.
Compared with the control group, proliferation and migration of VSMCs and the expression of PCNA, MMP-9, Notch1, Jagged-1 and p-ERK1/2 was increased in Ang II group. Sacubitril/valsartan significantly reduced the proliferation and migration. Additionally, pretreatment with sacubitril/valsartan reduced the PCNA, MMP-9, Notch1, Jagged-1 and p-ERK1/2 expression.
探讨 Notch 信号通路和 ERK1/2 通路在沙库巴曲缬沙坦抑制血管平滑肌细胞(VSMCs)增殖中的作用及机制。
体外培养人主动脉血管平滑肌细胞(HA-VSMCs)。将增殖的 VSMCs 分为对照组、Ang II 组和 Ang II+沙库巴曲缬沙坦组。分别采用 CCK8 法和划痕实验检测细胞增殖和迁移情况。采用 qRT-PCR 和 Western blot 检测 PCNA、MMP-9、Notch1 和 Jagged-1 的 mRNA 和蛋白表达。采用 Western blot 检测 p-ERK1/2 的表达。
与对照组相比,Ang II 组 VSMCs 的增殖和迁移能力增加,PCNA、MMP-9、Notch1、Jagged-1 和 p-ERK1/2 的表达增加。沙库巴曲缬沙坦可显著降低 VSMCs 的增殖和迁移能力。此外,沙库巴曲缬沙坦预处理可降低 PCNA、MMP-9、Notch1、Jagged-1 和 p-ERK1/2 的表达。
