目的:采用体外孵育的血性脑脊液(BCSF)模拟蛛网膜下腔出血(SAH)刺激因素,观察SAH对人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVECs)ICAM—1表达的影响及活血化瘀中药牛膝的有效成分蜕皮甾酮(EDS)的干预效应。方法:体外培养人脐静脉内皮细胞,通过免疫细胞化学染色和RT-PCR检测对照组、BCSF处理组和EDS治疗组HUVECs的ICAM—1表达改变。结果:与对照组相比,BCSF组HUVECs的ICAM—1免疫细胞化学染色增强,ICAM—1 mRNA表达增强(P〈0.01),EDS组弱于BCSF组。结论:BCSF刺激可引起HUVECs ICAM—1的表达上调,EDS对其具有抑制作用,可能对慢性脑血管痉挛(CVS)具治疗作用。
AIM: Artificial bloody cerebrospinal fluid (BCSF) was used as pathogeny on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to mimic SAH status in vivo. We tried to explore expression of ICAM-1 in HUVECs and the effect of ecdysterone (EDS). METHODS: HUVECs were used for study. BCSF was added into the culture with or without ecdysterone (200 mg·L^-1) for 24 h, and then immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR were used to observe ICAM-1 expression in HUVECs. RESULTS: Following BCSF stimulation, both of immunocytochemistry and expression of ICAM-I mRNA increased in HUVECs. EDS could reduce the expression of ICAM-1 in HUVECs following BCSF stimulation. CONCLUSION: ICAM-I expression in HUVECs could be activated directly by BCSF and reduced by EDS. EDS is possible to be a valid candidate medicine in therapy of CVS.
