目的:研究激活素受体样激酶1(ALK1)对人脐静脉内皮细胞的作用。方法:体外培养人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVECs),RT-PCR分析ALK1和ALK5在HUVEC激活状态下表达的变化。脂质体转染pcDNA3.1+ALK1到HUVECs,流式细胞仪检测HUVECs增殖的改变,boyden小室检测ALK1对HUVECs迁徙的影响。结果:ALK1在HUVEC安静状态高表达,ALK1能促进HUVECs的增殖和迁徙。结论:ALK1通过促进内皮细胞的增殖和迁徙在血管重塑中发挥作用。
AIM: To study the function of activin receptor- like kinase Ⅰ (ALK1) gene in vascular endothelium. METHODS: The human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HU3/ECs) were cultured, and the change of expression of ALK1, in activation of HUVECs was analyzed. The full - leng coding sequence of ALK1 was cloned into peDN/L3.1 + using standard protocols. The construeted pcDNA3.1 + ALK1 plasmid were transfeeted into HUVECs. The proliferation and migration of HUVECs were detected by boyden champer and flow cytometry. RESULTS: The expression of ALK1 was up- regulated in resolution. ALK1 prorooted the proliferation and migration of HUVECs. CONCLUSION: ALK1 has an important function in remodeling by promoting the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells.
