AIM:To investigate the effects of Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) tetrapeptide on proliferation,apoptosis and caspase 3 expression in FN-stimulated HSCs in vitro. METHODS:[ 3H]-thymidine incorporation,Annexin-V/Propidium Iodide double-labeled flow cytometry(FCM),TUNEL,scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscopy were employed to estimate the influence of RGDS on proliferation and apoptosis of HSCs. The adhesion rates were observed by toluidine blue colorimetric assay. The expression of caspase-3 protein was detected by FCM. RESULTS:①Compared with control and FN groups,RGDS tetrapeptide at concentrations of 25 mg·L -1 ,50 mg·L -1 and 100 mg·L2 1 inhibited the proliferation of HSCs ( P<0.0 1), and the inhibition rates of 100 mg·L -1 at 12 h,24 h and 48 h were 62.73%,74.23%,80.22%,respectively.②RGDS tetrapeptide induced the HSC apoptosis in dose-dependent and time-dependent manners( P<0.01 ). Observed with scanning electron microscope,the cell bodies and cellular processes of HSCs exposed to RGDS tetrapeptide were seen to be diminished. Microvilli on the cell surface decreased,became short even disappeared. Observed with transmission electron microscopy,the chromatins condensed, shrunk and aggregated along inside of nuclear membrane to exist in the form of ball,petal and crescent. Sometimes,apoptotic bodies formed. ③After exposure of HSCs to RGDS tetrapeptide for 2 h,the inhibition rates of adhesion were 8.82%,29.41% and 45.59%,respectively,but that of RGES group was only 4.41%, P <0.01. ④ The expression of caspase 3 was obviously higher in RGDS tetrapeptide group than that in FN group,RGES tetrapeptide. CONCLUSION:These results suggest that RGDS tetrapeptide may inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of HSCs in both dose-dependent and time-dependent manners in vitro, which may be related to the abrogation of cell adhesion and caspase 3.
