Effects of Butin in Vernohia anthelmintica on Proliferation of Human Immortal Keratinocyte Cell Strain HaCaT and Cell Secretory Factors / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of butin in Vernohia anthelmintica(VW)on proliferation of human immortal ke-ratinocyte cell strain HaCaT and cell secretory factors,and explore the mechanism of butin in VW in the treatment of vitiligo. METHODS:MTT method was used to determine the survival rate of HaCaT cells cultured by 0 (blank control),0.1,0.5,1.0, 5.0,10.0 μg/mL of butin for 48 h. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the contents of cell secretory factors as endothelin 1 (ET-1),ET-3,melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH),stem cell factor (SCF),basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)in culture medium after HaCaT cells were cultured by 0.5,1.0,5.0 μg/mL of butin for 48 h. RESULTS:Compared with blank control,cell survival rate was increased to varying degrees after cultured by 0.1-5.0μg/mL of butin for 48 h,while decreased after cultured by 10.0 μg/mL of butin. Contents of ET-1,SCF,bFGF in culture medium were significantly increased after cultured by 0.5,1.0,5.0μg/mL of butin for 48 h(P<0.01);and contents of ET-3,MSH in culture medium were significantly increased af-ter cultured by 1.0,5.0 μg/mL of butin for 48 h(P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Butin can promote the proliferation of HaCaT cells, the mechanism may be associated with promoting the secretion of cell secretory factors of ET-1,ET-3,MSH,SCF,bFGF.
