Effects of advanced glycation endproducts on proliferation of pericytes of bovine retinal capillary vessels and expression of transforming growth factor ? / 中华眼底病杂志

Objective To investigate the effects of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) on proliferation of pericytes of bovine retinal capillary vessels and expression of transforming growth factor ?(TGF-?). Methods [WTBZ]The proliferation of pericytes detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) colorimetric assay, cellular cycle of pericytes was analyzed by flow cytometry was used to analyze cell, and TGF-? protein expression of pericytes was observed by immunofluorescent staining. Results AGEs inhibited the proliferation of pericytes of bovine retinal capillary vessels, stopped the cellular cycle of pericytes in synthesis phase (S phase), increased the number of apoptotic cells obviously (P
