Abstract:

Objective  To investigate the effect and mechanism of the Qindan Capsule-containing serum on adventitial fibroblasts(AFs). Methods  AFs were cultured by tissue explant in vitro and induced by TGF-β1. The proliferation of AFs affected by the Qindan Capsule-containing serum with high[750mg/(kg·d)] or low[150mg/(kg·d)] dose was detected by MTT. Protein and mRNA expressions of α-SM actin and Smad3 were observed by Western-blot and Real-time PCR respectively. Results  Both high and low doses of the Qindan Capsule-containing serum could reduce proliferation of AFs induced by TGF-β1(P<0.05) and inhibit expressions of mRNA and protein of α-SM actin and Smad3(P<0.05). Conclusion  The Qindan Capsule-containing serum has significant improved and reverse effect on aortic vascular remodeling. The mechanism may be related to inhibiting  proliferation and differentiation of AFs through the  TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway.
