Effect of Tetramethylpyrazine on the Function of Endothelial Progenitor Cells in vitro / 浙江中医药大学学报

ABSTRACT

[Objective] This study was to investigate the effect of TMP on function of EPCs in normal or hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)inducing injury model cell culture,and to approach a therapy to coronary heart disease(CHD).[Method] Total mononuclear cells were isolated from the cord blood by ficoll density gradient centrifugation,cultured in vitro.After the cells cultured for 7 days,identified them by cellmarkers and the ability of intaking the ac-LDL,and made sure they were EPCs.To divide the cells into three groups,TMP(5,25,100,200mg),H2O2(500??)model and TMP together with H2O2,cultured for 24h and then detected the function and apoptosis of EPCs.[Result] Versus to control group,the TMP(5,25,100mg)groups had no important effect on the proliferation and adhesion of EPCs,but TMP(200mg)group had negative effect on EPCs.Versus to H2O2 model group,TMP(5,25,100mg)preincubated groups had important protective effect on EPCs in proliferation,adhesion and apoptosis.[Conclusion] TMP could protect EPCs from oxidative stress injury,but had little benefit to EPCs in normal incubation.
