After amplification and purification, pGenesil-1/OPNshRNA1 （PG1）, pGenesil-1/OPNshRNA2 （PG2） and pGenesil-1/OPNshRNAHK （PGH） were transfected into the cultured rat VSMC by LipofectamineTM 2000. Transfected cells were visualized by using an inverted fluorescent microscope. VSMCs transfected by optimal recombined plasmid was selected by culturing in G418 48 h later. Nude cells and cells transfected by PGH were used as control. The expression levels of OPN mRNA and protein were assayed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The OPN of VSMCs was suppressed by transfection of optimal recombined plasmid, and the changes in cell proliferation, adhesion and motility were evaluated by MTT, adhesion test and transwell chamber test. Levels of type I and Ⅲ collagen were measured with ELISA kit. Our results showed that VSMCs stably transfected by OPN shRNA accounted for over 50% of total cells. OPN mRNA and protein were reduced by 81% and 67% （P〈0.01） by PG1, 73% and 52% （P〈0.01） by PG2, respectively while no change was found in PGH and non-treated VSMCs. PG1 significantly suppressed the proliferation, adhesion, mobility of VSMCs and reduced the amount of type Ⅰ and Ⅲ collagen. It is concluded that recombinant plasmid can be success-fully transfected into VSMCs by LipofectamineTM 2000 and inhibit the expression of OPN. The proliferation, adhesion and mobility of VSMCs can be inhibited by knocking down OPN expression. Moreover, the transferring capability of cells is attenuated, and the secretion of type Ⅰ and Ⅲ collagen is inhibited aftter knocking-down of OPN expression. The study provides experimental evidence for clinical prevention of restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） by RNA interference （RNAi） technology.展开更多

METHODS: VSMCs of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rats were cultured and treated with ET-1. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene expression was measured using both Northern blot and an enzyme-linked immunoassay. RESULTS: ET-1 resulted in an increase in bFGF transcripts at 8 - 24 h; bFGF levels were significantly higher in VSMCs treated with ET-1 than in those not treated. However, VSMCs growth responses in SHR and WKY were different. Smooth muscle cells of SHR were hyper-responsive to ET-1. Maximal bFGF mRNA levels were elevated 3.5-fold at 4 h of stimulation in WKY and 8-fold at 8h in SHR4. Moreover, the proliferation of VSMCs induced by ET-1 was inhibited by antisense phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides (10 micromol/L AS-bFGF) but not sense bFGF oligomers at the same concentrations, being reduced by 80% in SHR and 40% in WKY vs control, respectively. Furthermore, the effect of AS-bFGF oligomers on SHR SMC proliferation is significantly greater than on WKY SMC proliferation. CONCLUSION: ET-1 may be required for exaggerated vascular growth responses in SHR and bFGF may be involved.展开更多
