Inhibitory effect of antisense basic fibroblast growth factor oligonucleotides on proliferation of cultured aortic smooth muscle cells induced by angiotensin Ⅱ in SHR rats

目的：研究转染反义碱性成纤维细胞生长因子（ｂＦＧＦ）寡核苷酸（ＯＤＮ）对培养的自发性高血压大鼠（ＳＨＲ）主动脉平滑肌细胞（ＳＭＣ）生长的影响．方法：用脂质体介导法将反义ｂＦＧＦＯＤＮ转入ＳＭＣ内，用Ｎｏｒｔｈｅｒｎ杂交检测ｂＦＧＦ基因表达，并测定［３Ｈ］ｔｈｙｍｉｄｉｎｅ掺入和细胞计数．结果：转染反义ｂＦＧＦＯＤＮ（５μｍｏｌ·Ｌ－１）几乎完全抑制血管紧张素Ⅱ（ＡｎｇⅡ，１μｍｏｌ·Ｌ－１）诱导增高的ｂＦＧＦｍＲＮＡ表达和明显抑制ＳＭＣ增殖，在基础状态和ＡｎｇⅡ刺激条件下，［３Ｈ］ｔｈｙｍｉｄｉｎｅ掺入分别被抑制２６５％（Ｐ＜００１）和４２０％（Ｐ＜００１），细胞数分别被抑制１７３％（Ｐ＜００１）和２２２％（Ｐ＜００１）．结论：反义ｂＦＧＦＯＤＮ能有效抑制ＡｎｇⅡ诱导的ｂＦＧＦ基因表达和ＳＭＣ增殖．

AIM: To study the effect of antisense basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) oligonucleotides (ODN) transfection on the growth of cultured aortic smooth muscle cells (SMC) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). METHODS: Using cationic liposomemediated method, antisense bFGF ODN were introduced into SMC, bFGF gene expression was detected by Northern blotting, cell hyperplasia was evaluated by thymidine incorporation and cell counting. RESULTS: Transfection of antisense bFGF ODN (5 μmol·L-1) almost completely inhibited enhanced bFGF mRNA expression and inhibited cell proliferation induced by angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang 1 μmol·L-1 ). In basal state and Angstimulated state, thymidine incorporation was inhibited by 265 % (P<001) and 420 % (P<001) and cell number was inhibited by 17.3 % (P<001) and by 222 % (P<001), respectively. CONCLUSION: The transfection of antisense bFGF ODN into cultured SMC effectively suppressed bFGF mRNA expression and inhibited the SMC proliferation induced by Ang.
