Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activators of transcription 3 （JAK2/STAT3） path- way is an important signaling pathway through which VSMCs phenotype conversion occurs. Suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 （SOCS3） is the classic negative feedback inhibitor of JAK2/STAT3 pathway. Growing studies show that SOCS3 plays an important anti-inflammatory role in numerous autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases and inflammation-related tumors. However, the effect and mechanism of SOCS3 on vein graft disease is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of SOCS3 on the inflammation, migration and proliferation of VSMCs in vitro and the mechanism. The small interference RNA plasmid targeting rat SOCS3 （SiRNA-rSOCS3） and the recombinant adenovirus vector carrying rat SOCS3 gene （pYrAd-rSOCS3） were constructed, and the empty plamid （SiRNA-control） and vector （pYrAd-GFP） only carrying GFP reported gene were constructed as control. The rat VSMCs were cultured. There were two large groups of A （SOCS3 up-regulated）： control group, IL-6/IFN-γ group, IL-6/IFN-γ＋pYrAd-rSOCS3 group, IL-6/IFN-γ＋pYrAd-GFP group; and B （SOCS3 down-regulated）： control group, IL-6/IFN-γ group, IL-6/IFN-γ＋SiRNA-rSOCS3 group and IL-6/IFN -T＋SiRNA-control group. The pYrAd-rSOCS3 and SiRNA-rSOCS3 were transfected into VSMCs in- duced by IL-6/IFN-γ. After 24 h, real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of SOCS3, STAT3 （only by Western blotting）, P-STAT3 （only by Western blotting）, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1 and ICAM-1. The MTT, Transwell assay and flow cytometry were used to examine VSMCs proliferation, migration and cell cycle progression, respectively. As compared with control group, the mRNA and protein expression of SOCS3, STAT3, P-STAT3, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1 and ICAM-1 was significantly up-regulated in VSMCs stimulated by IL-6/IFN-γ. However, in VSMCs transfected with pYrAd-rSOCS3 before stimulation with IL-6/IFN-γ, the expression of SOCS3 mRNA and protein was further up-regulated, and that of STAT3, P-STAT3, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1 and ICAM-1 was significantly down-regulated as compared with IL-6/IFN-γ group and IL-6/IFN-γ＋pYrAd-GFP group. The expression of those re- lated-cytokines in IL-6/IFN-γ＋SiRNA-rSOCS3 group was markedly increased as compared with IL-6/IFN-γ group and IL-6/IFN-γ＋SiRNA-control group. The absorbance （A） values, the number of cells migrating to the lower chamber, and percentage of cells in the G2/M＋S phase were increased in VSMCs stimulated by IL-6/IFN-γ. In VSMCs incubated with pYrAd-rSOCS3 or SiRNA-rSOCS3 be- fore IL-6/IFN-γ stimulation, the A values, the number of cells migrating to the lower chamber, and the percentage of cells in the G2/M＋S phase were significantly decreased, and increased respectively. These results imply that IL-6/IFN-γ, strong inflammatory stimulators, can promote transformation of VSMCs phenotype form a quiescent contractile state to a synthetic state by activating JAK2/STAT3 pathway. Over-expresssed SOCS3 might inhibit pro-inflammatory effect, migration and growth of VSMCs by blocking STAT3 activation and phosphorylation. These data in vitro confirm that SOCS3 may play a negatively regulatory role in development and progression of vein graft failure. These conclusions can provide a novel strategy for clinical treatment of vein graft diseases and a new theoretic clue for related drug development.展开更多

Central to this is the activation of tissue resident microglia and infiltration of peripheral macrophages, which phagocytose debris and/or secrete a range of cytokines, chemokines and oth- er factors which modify the injured environment to promote or inhibit repair （Schwartz et al., 2013）. The reactive macro- phages/microglia are broadly divided into two categories.展开更多
