ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of aging on procollagen α polypeptide gene transcription and protein expression in rat vascular smooth muscle cells.Methods Vascular smooth muscle cells from thoracoabdominal aorta in neonate and 9 months old healthy Wistar rats were cultured in vitro.Results Transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT PCR) and Western blotting were used to detect type Ⅰ and Ⅲ pro-collagen α polypeptide mRNA and protein.The RT-PCR displayed that type Ⅰ procollagen α polypeptide mRNA expression had no significant difference between young group and adult group [(76.62±1.05) vs.(78.37±2.42),P>0.05].Type Ⅲ procollagen α polypeptide mRNA expression was (105.40 ± 2.66) in young group and (123.10 ± 3.81) in adult group(P>0.05).Type Ⅰ procollagen α polypeptide mRNA expression was (3.13 ±0.54) in young group and (4.63 ± 1.03) in adult group (P=0.05).Type Ⅲ procollagen α polypeptide mRNA expression had no significant difference between the adult and young groups[(6.86 ±0.41) vs.(7.68±0.63),P>0.05].Type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ procollagen α polypeptide protein expressions were increased significantly in adult group as compared with the young group [(0.10 ± 0.03) vs.(0.06±0.03),(0.58±0.06) vs.(0.40±0.02),both P<0.05].Conclusions Aging increases the procollagen α polypeptide level in vascular smooth muscle cell,which may involve in the development of vascular remodeling and atherosclerosis.

ABSTRACT

AIM:To investigate the relationship between the thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) level in plasma and atherosclerosis, the TAFI level in plasma and blood fat and blood clotting index.METHODS: Totally 40 healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10), control group, high lipid group, high lipid +vitamin D3 overload group, and high lipid +vitamin D3+endothelium injure group by treating the animals with normal diet, high lipid, high lipid+ vitamin D overload, and high lipid+vitamin D overload+endothelium injury, respectively, for inducing three stages of AS in rats. Then, the total cholesterol (TC), total triglyeride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), and prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplasin time (APTT), fibrinogen (Fib), the activity of TAFI were measured.RESULTS: TC, TG, LDL-C, Fib and the activity level of TAFI in plasma in three model groups increased gradually compared with the control (P
