Cell culture, immunocytochemical staining, image analysis and flow cytometric method were used to investigate the effects of HECCM and DDPH on the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SM-Actin) antigen, CD34 antigen, S-100 antigen and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and cell cycle in pericytes. The results showed that the α-SM-Actin antigen in the pericytes in HECCM group was stronger positively expressed than in the other three groups, but CD34 antigen and S-100 antigen were negatively expressed. The expression of α-SM-Actin antigen, CD34 antigen and S-100 antigen was positive in the groups of NECCM, NECCM+DDPH and HECCM+DDPH; The expression of α-SM-Actin and PCNA in HECCM group was 1.32 times (P<0.01) and 1.24 times (P<0.05) that in NECCM group, 1.30 times (P<0.01) and 1.21 times (P<0.05) that in HECCM+DDPH group, respectively. The percentage of the cells in the GO-G1 phase in the HECCM group was lower by 11.7 % and 9.1 %, in S phase higher by 5.6 % and 4.2 %, in G2-M phase higher by 6.1 % and 4.9 % than in the groups of NECCM,HECCM+DDPH, respectively. The inhibitory rate of DDPH on the increased α-SM-Actin and PCNA syntheses in pericytes induced by HECCM were 23.4 % and 17.1 % respectively. The inhibitory rate on the increased pericytes from GO-G1 phase to S phase was 8.3 %. These results suggest that DDPH can directly inhibit pericytes from proliferation and immunophenotypical transformation of smooth muscle-like cells induced by HECCM.展开更多
