摘要
Abnormal proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells （VSMCs） are the major cause of in-stent restenosis （ISR）. Intervention proliferation and migration of VSMCs is an im- portant strategy for antirestenotic therapy. Roscovitine, a second-generation cyclin-dependent kinase in- hibitor, can inhibit cell cycle of multiple cell types. We studied the effects of roscovitine on cell cycle distribution, proliferation and migration of VSMCs in vitro by flow cytometry, BrdU incorporation and wound healing assay, respectively. Our results showed that roscovitine increased the proportion of Go/G1 phase cells after 12 h （69.57±3.65 vs. 92.50±1.68, P=0.000）, 24 h （80.87±2.24 vs. 90.25±0.79, P=0.000） and 48 h （88.08±3.86 vs. 88.87±2.43, P=-0.427） as compared with control group. Roscovifine inhibited proliferation and migration of VSMCs in a concentration-dependent way. With the increase of concen- tration, roscovitine showed increased capacity for growth and migration inhibition. Roscovitine （30 μmol/L） led to an almost complete VSMCs growth and migration arrest. Combined with its low toxicity and selective inhibition to ISR-VSMCs, roscovitine may be a potential drug in the treatment of vascular stenosis diseases and particularly useful in the prevention and treatment of ISR.
