ABSTRACT
AIM:
To observe expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) and c-myc in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells which is effected by neuropeptide Y (NPY) and losartan (the receptor blocking agent of angiotensin Ⅱ) therefore exploring effects of NPY on the generation of hypertension and its relationship with losartan reverse treatment in molecular biology.METHODS:
Applied the method of quantitative immunocytochemistry through ACAS570.RESULTS:
24 hours exposure of vascular smooth muscle cell to NPY caused an increase in expression of PCNA, PDGF and c-myc respectively. But losartan could reverse these expressions by NPY, decreased the expression of PCNA, PDGF and c-myc.CONCLUSION:
NPY is closely related to the generation of hypertension. But losartan could reverse these effects of NPY.
