目的 探讨羟甲基戊二酰辅酶A还原酶抑制剂普伐他汀对溶血磷脂酰胆碱 (LPC)促血管平滑肌细胞增殖及白细胞与内皮细胞粘附的影响。方法 用MTT法检测LPC对平滑肌细胞增殖的量效和时效关系及普伐他汀对LPC促平滑肌细胞增殖的影响 ;用直接记数法检测LPC诱导中性粒细胞系K5 6 2细胞与人脐静脉内皮细胞系ECV30 4细胞的粘附和普伐他汀对LPC所致白细胞与内皮细胞粘附的影响。结果 用 1～ 10 μmol·L-1LPC孵育血管平滑肌细胞 2 4～ 4 8h后 ,呈时间和剂量依赖性地诱导细胞增殖 ,而用 0 3～ 1mmol·L-1普伐他汀预孵育平滑肌细胞 1h ,再与 3μmol·L-1LPC共孵育 2 4～ 4 8h ,明显地抑制LPC所诱导的细胞增殖 ;用 3μmol·L-1LPC孵育ECV30 4细胞 12h显著增加K5 6 2细胞与ECV30 4细胞的粘附 ,而将ECV30 4细胞用 1mmol·L-1普伐他汀预处理后 ,明显减少白细胞与内皮细胞的粘附。结论 普伐他汀可抑制LPC促血管平滑肌细胞增殖及白细胞与内皮细胞粘附的作用。

Aim This study was designed to investigate the effects of pravastatin,a potent 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor,on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation and leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion induced by lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC).Methods Cultured VSMCs from rabbit thoracic aorta were incubated with various concentrations of LPC in the absence or presence of different concentrations of pravastatin. MTT was used to evaluate the proliferation of VSMCs. We determined the effects of LPC and pravastatin on neutrophil K562 adhesion to endothelial cells ECV304 by directly counting non-adhesive K562 cells.Results Incubation of VSMCs with LPC (1～10 μmol·L -1) stimulated proliferation of VSMCs in a time- and dose-dependent manner,while pravastatin (0.3～1 mmol·L -1) treatment prevented the proliferation of VSMCs caused by LPC. Moreover, incubation of ECV304 with 3 μmol · L -1 LPC for 12 h significantly enhanced K562 cells adhesion to endothelial cells, whereas pretreatment with pravastatin reduced leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion. Conclusion These results suggest that pravastatin can antagonize the effects of VSMCs proliferation and leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion induced by LPC.
