RESUMO
ABSTRACT:Objective To investigate the effects of phenytoin (PHT)on the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)and stem cell factor (SCF)based on the establishment of indirect co-culture system of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)and vascular endothelial cells (VECs).Methods Indirect co-culture model of rat BMSCs and VECs was established.Experimental groups:indirect co-culture groups (PHT concentrations were 0,20 and 40 μg/mL);the control group:BMSCs culture group and VECs culture group (PHT concentrations were 0,20 and 40μg/mL).The contents of VEGF and SCF in the culture supernatant were measured using double antibody sandwich ABC-ELISA method on cultivation days 2,4,6.Results ELISA assay of the rBMSCs and rVECs in indirect co-culture supernatants,collected on culture days 2,4 and 6 showed that:① VEGF:On culture day 2,VEGF level in the co-culture groups was significantly higher than those in BMSCs group (P SCF increased as the incubation time increased;but as the incubation time increased, PHT concentration of 40 μg/mL made SCF content decrease.Each group did not significantly differ (P > 0.05 ).Conclusion PHT promotes the secretion of VEGF and may reduce the secretion of SCF.
