目的:探讨神经调节蛋白1(neuregulin-1,NRG-1)对人冠状动脉平滑肌细胞(HCASMCs)表达血管生成因子的影响。方法:培养HCASMCs,实验使用第3代细胞。用Western blot法检测细胞Erb B的表达和磷酸化。在正常、缺氧缺血清或NRG-1(100μg/L)处理条件下,用Western blot法检测血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)、血管生成素1(Ang-1)和血管生成素2(Ang-2)表达的改变。结果:Erb B2、Erb B3和Erb B4均能在HCASMCs中表达,加入NRG-1后,这3种Erb B的磷酸化水平均增加。与对照组比较,在缺氧缺血清组HCASMCs中VEGF和Ang-1的表达明显增加(P〈0.05),而Ang-2的表达差异无统计学显著性。与缺氧缺血清组比较,NRG-1处理组的HCASMCs表达VEGF和Ang-1进一步显著增加(P〈0.05),而Ang-2的表达差异无统计学显著性。结论:HCASMCs能表达Erb B2、Erb B3和Erb B4,加入NRG-1增强Erb B2、Erb B3和Erb B4的磷酸化。缺氧缺血清和NRG-1处理均能增加VEGF和Ang-1在HCASMCs中的表达。
AIM: To investigate the effects of neuregulin-1( NRG-1) on the expression of angiogenic factors in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells( HCASMCs). METHODS: HCASMCs were cultured in vitro,and the cells at the 3rd passage were collected to assess the expression and phosphorylation of Erb B by Western blot. After HCASMCs were cultured under normal condition,with hypoxia and serum deprivation,or with NRG-1 treatment,the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor( VEGF),angiopoietin-1( Ang-1) and angiopoietin-2( Ang-2) was determined by Western blot.RESULTS: The expression of Erb B2,Erb B3 and Erb B4 was observed in the HCASMCs,and the phosphorylation of these receptors was increased by NRG-1 treatment. Compared with control group,the expression of VEGF and Ang-1 in the HCASMCs was significantly increased in hypoxia and serum deprivation group( P〈0. 05),while no difference in the expression of Ang-2 between the 2 groups was found. Compared with hypoxia and serum deprivation group,the expression of VEGF and Ang-1 in the HCASMCs treated with NRG-1 was further increased( P〈0. 05),and no difference in the expression of Ang-2 between the 2 groups was observed. CONCLUSION: HCASMCs express Erb B2,Erb B3 and Erb B4,and the phosphorylation of the receptors is increased by NRG-1. Hypoxia,serum deprivation and NRG-1 treatment induce the increased expression of VEGF and Ang-1 significantly.
