ABSTRACT
AIM:
To explose the possible existing pathway of intracellular signaling transduction in hypertensive induced by insulin in rat vascular smooth muscle cells proliferation which involved mitogen-activated protein kinase.METHODS:
Male spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) aorta and WKY(6 weeks old) were isolated and then cultured to make the purified vascular smooth muscle cells.6-8th generation of VSMC were interfered with insulin in vitro . MAPK activity was determined by myelin basic protein method and its volume was measured with Western Blot. And [ 3 H]-TdR was used to measure DNA synthesis in VSMC proliferation.RESULTS:
After the interfered with insulin the DNA synthesis was increased obviously in SHR group. MAPK activity and its contains in SHR were increased more than the control group. Protein kinase C inhibitor decreased MAPK activity induced by insulin.CONCLUSION:
Proliferation of SHR VSMC in vitro was correlated with increased activity of MAPK. Insulin can affect MAPK induced activity. So an insulin-PKC-MAPK axis may exist in hypertensive VSMC.
