赤芍总苷对大鼠血小板功能的影响

为了研究赤芍总苷对血小板聚集功能的影响,采用比浊法观察赤芍总苷对大鼠血小板聚集功能的作用,用放射免疫法观察对大鼠TXB2/6-keto-PGF1α、ET水平的作用,并用硝酸还原酶法测定大鼠血清中NO的浓度。结果发现,赤芍总苷能降低ADP诱导的血小板最大聚集强度,降低大鼠血浆中TXB2的浓度,同时升高血浆中6-keto-PGF1α的水平,调节大鼠血清NO/ET的平衡。实验证明,赤芍总苷有明显降低大鼠血小板聚集的作用。     

Chronic sensory denervation reduces thrombin-stimulated endothelin release from aortic endothelial cells

The long-term (trophic) influence of perivascular nerves on the endothelium was investigated by measuring changes in thrombin-stimulated release of the potent vasoconstrictor, endothelin, after selective chronic denervation. Rat pups were treated with either guanethidine or capsaicin to destroy sympathetic or sensory nerves, respectively. The abdominal aortas from the rats at three months of age (5 pooled per experiment) were incubated with 4U thrombin/ml in medium for 24 h at 37°C, and the amount of endothelin released from the preparation determined by immunoassay. After neonatal sensory denervation there was a significant reduction in the thrombinstimulated release of endothelin compared to the controls (0.012±0.012 (4) compared to 0.063±0.012 (6), pmol/cm²/24 h, p<0.02). There was no change in endothelin release after sympathetic denervation. In summary, sensory nerves play a trophic role in the expression of endothelin in endothelial cells of the intima.

Urotensin Ⅱ increases endothelin production by vascular smooth muscle cells in rats

The aim of this study was to observe the effects of urotensin Ⅱ (UII) on production of endothelin (ET) in rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Cultured VSMCs incubated with various concentrations of UII were used to measure the VSMC 3H-TdR incorporation, the amount of ET mRNA and ET production in VSMCs. In this work we found that UII (10-10-10-8 mol/L) promoted VSMC 3H-TdR incorporation (47%-83%, P < 0.01) and increased the amount of ET mRNA by 17.1% (P < 0.05) to 112.8% (P < 0.01), respectively, in a concentration dependent manner compared with control. After 4 and 8 h incubation, 10-10-10-8 mol/L of UII elevated the ET synthesis and release in a concentration dependent manner. After 4 h incubation, the content of ET in medium was 4.9, 5.36 and 7.12 pg/mL (P < 0.01). After 8 h incubation, the ET content released from VSMCs was 12.6, 12.07 and 17.17 pg/mL (P < 0.01). In addition, it was found that BQ123, a specific ETA receptor antagonist, obviously decreased the VSMC DNA synthesis induced by UII. The results of this study showed that UII could stimulate the ET mRNA expression and ET production in VSMC. The effects of UII on VSMC DNA synthesis were partly mediated by ET autocrine pathway. It suggests that the interaction between UII and ET plays an important biological regulating role as endogenous active peptides.

Urotensin Ⅱ increases endothelin production by vascular smooth muscle cells in rats

The aim of this study was to observe the effects of urotensin Ⅱ (UII) on production of endothelin (ET) in rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Cultured VSMCs incubated with various concentrations of UII were used to measure the VSMC ³H-TdR incorporation, the amount of ET mRNA and ET production in VSMCs. In this work we found that UII (10^-10—10^-8 mol/L) promoted VSMC ³H-TdR incorporation (47%—83%, P < 0.01) and increased the amount of ET mRNA by 17.1% (P < 0.05) to 112.8% (P < 0.01), respectively, in a concentration dependent manner compared with control. After 4 and 8 h incubation, 10^-10—10^-8 mol/L of UII elevated the ET synthesis and release in a concentration dependent manner. After 4 h incubation, the content of ET in medium was 4.9, 5.36 and 7.12 pg/mL (P < 0.01). After 8 h incubation, the ET content released from VSMCs was 12.6, 12.07 and 17.17 pg/mL (P < 0.01). In addition, it was found that BQ₁₂₃, a specific ET_A receptor antagonist, obviously decreased the VSMC DNA synthesis induced by UII. The results of this study showed that UII could stimulate the ET mRNA expression and ET production in VSMC. The effects of UII on VSMC DNA synthesis were partly mediated by ET autocrine pathway. It suggests that the interaction between UII and ET plays an important biological regulating role as endogenous active peptides.     

Adrenomedullin inhibits the endothelin production induced by urotensin II in rat vascular smooth muscle cells

The aim of this study was to observe the effects of adrenomedullin (ADM) on endothelin (ET) production induced by urotensin Ⅱ (UⅡ) in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Cultured VSMCs which were incubated with UⅡ (10^-8 mol/L) and with various concentrations of ADM were used to measure the VSMCs ³H-TdR incorpora- tion, the activity of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), the amount of ET mRNA and ET production in VSMCs. In this work we found that incubation with UⅡ(10^-8 mol/L) increased obviously the amount of ET mRNA in VSMCs and ET production in medium, however, coincubation with ADM (10^-10—10^-8 mol/L) and UⅡ(10^-8 mol/L) reduced the amount of ET mRNA by 15%, 24% and 45% (P< 0.01) respectively, compared with UⅡ alone. The content of ET in medium was 14.13, 11.38 and 11.00 pg/mL. ADM alone (10^-8 mol/L) had no effect on ET production in VSMCs. UⅡ (10^-8 mol/L) promoted the 3H-TdR incorpo- ration and activity of ERK in VSMCs. ADM inhibited VSMCs 3H-TdR incorporation and activation of ERK in a concentration-dependent manner. Compared with UⅡ group, after coincubation with ADM (10^-10—10^-8 mol/L) and UⅡ (10^-8 mol/L) the VSMCs 3H-TdR incorporation was decreased by 7% (P > 0.05), 32% (P < 0.05) and 41% (P < 0.01), respectively, and the activity of ERK was decreased by 24% (P > 0.05), 32% (P < 0.05) and 36% (P < 0.05), re- spectively, in a concentration-dependent manner. The results show that in cultured VSMCs ADM inhibits ET mRNA expression, ET production and proliferation stimulated by UⅡ, and that inhibitory effect of ADM on UⅡ bioaction could be mediated through inhibiting MAPK pathway.

In this work we found that incubation with UⅡ(10-8 mol/L) increased obviously the amount of ET mRNA inVSMCs and ET production in medium, however,co-incubation with ADM (10-10-10-8 mol/L) and UⅡ(10-8mol/L) reduced the amount of ET mRNA by 15%, 24% and45% (P< 0.01) respectively, compared with UⅡ alone. Thecontent of ET in medium was 14.13, 11.38 and 11.00 pg/mL. ADM alone (10-8 mol/L) had no effect on ET production inVSMCs. UⅡ (10-8 mol/L) promoted the 3H-TdR incorpo-ration and activity of ERK in VSMCs. ADM inhibited VSMCs 3H-TdR incorporation and activation of ERK in aconcentration-dependent manner. Compared with UⅡgroup, after co-incubation with ADM (10-10-10-8 mol/L)and UⅡ (10-8 mol/L) the VSMCs 3H-TdR incorporation wasdecreased by 7% (P > 0.05), 32% (P < 0.05) and 41% (P <0.01), respectively, and the activity of ERK was decreasedby 24% (P > 0.05), 32% (P < 0.05) and 36% (P < 0.05), re-spectively, in a concentration-dependent manner. The resultsshow that in cultured VSMCs ADM inhibits ET mRNA ex-pression, ET production and proliferation stimulated by UⅡ, and that inhibitory effect of ADM on UⅡ bioaction could be mediated through inhibiting MAPK pathway.
