Effects of Enalaprilat on proliferation and nitric oxide synthase-nitric oxide system of neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of angiotensin Ⅰ-converting enzyme inhibitor Enalaprilat(Ena) on proliferation and nitric oxide synthase-nitric oxide system of neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts(CFb)and to probe its anticardiac fibrosis mechanism.Methods The cultured neonatal Wistar rat CFb were divided into control group,model group and three doses of Ena groups.CFb were isolated by trypsin digestion method.MTT colorimetric assay was adopted to evaluate cell proliferation,flow cytometry was used to measure cell cycle,nitric acid reductase method and spectrophotometry were used to detect the NO contents and NOS activity respectively with Ena.Results Ena could inhibit CFb proliferation induced by AngⅡ,there were significant differences of MTT values between model group and Ena groups after treated for 24,48 and 72 h(P
