Effects of scallop skirt glycosaminoglycan on the expression of c-myc and TNF-? genes in proliferative vascular smooth muscle cells / 中国海洋药物

Objective To observe the effects of Chlamys farreri skirt glycosaminoglycan(SS-GAG) on the expressions of c-myc and TNF-? genes so as to explore the anti-atherosclerosis(AS) mechanism of SS-GAG.Methods The cell proliferation model of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC) was established by basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) induction.In Situ hybridization marked by non-isotope was applied to determine the effects of SS-GAG on the mRNA levels of c-myc and TNF in proliferative VSMC.Results The mRNA levels of c-myc and TNF in low dose group and high group of SS-GAG were obviously lower than that of model group(P
