ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of resveratrol on the proliferation, migration and angiogenic ability of HUVECs mediated by Rictor over-expression adenovirus.Methods The Rictor was obtained through PCR and cloned into GV314 plasmid to construct recombinant plasmid, then co-transfected 293T cells with helper plasmids to obtain Rictor overexpressing adenoviral particles(Ad-Rictor),the vector without target gene Ad-Null was set as the negative control group.Ad-Rictor and Ad-Null were infected HUVECs respectively,we also set up blank control group and resveratrol-intervention group(Ad-Rictor+Res). The expression of recombinant protein was detected by fluorescence microscopy and Western blot. CCK-8 assay,wound healing and matrigel assay were performed to as-sess the proliferation,migration and tube formation of HUVECs. Results We constructed Ad-Rictor and Ad-Null which may infect HUVECs and express Rictor protein efficiently. Ad-Rictor could significantly improve the prolifer-ation,migration and lumen formation (P<0.05), resveratrol intervention may significantly inhibit these functions induced by Ad-Rictor (P<0.05). Conclusions Resveratrol inhibits the proliferation, migration and angiopoietic ability of HUVECs through targeting mTORC2/Rictor.
