  • EFFECT OF CALCITONIN GENE-RELATED PEPTIDE ON PROLIFERATION AND MIGRATION OF HUMAN UMBILICAL VEIN ENDOTHELIAL CELLS

    Objective Tissue engineered bone implanted with sensory nerve can effectively promote angiogenesis and repair of bone defects. To investigate the effects of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) for further revealing the mechanism of tissue engineered bone implanted with sensory nerve promoting angiogenesis. Methods HUVECs were collected from human umbilical core, and identified through von Willebrand factor (vWF) and CD31 immunofluorescence. The HUVECs were treated with CGRP and were ivided into 6 groups according to CGRP concentration: group A (0 mol/L), group B (1 × 10—12 mol/L), group C (1 × 10—11 mol/L), group D (1 × 10—10 mol/L), group E (1 × 10—9 mol/L), and group F (1 × 10—8 mol/L). The expression of the CGRP1 receptor (CGRP1R) was observed in HUVECs by cell immunofluorescence. The growth rate of HUVECs was detected through AlarmarBlue at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 days. Transwell chamber was used to detect the abil ity of cell migration. ELISA assay was used to detect the vascular endothel ial growth factor (VEGF) secretion and the protein expression of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) was examined using Western blot. Results HUVECs were identified through morphology, vWF and CD31 immunofluorescence. HUVECs expressed CGRP1R. CGRP could stimulate HUVECs prol iferation in a time- and concentration-dependent manners; the cell growth rates of groups B-F were significantly higher than that of group A at all time (P lt; 0.05); group F had highest cell growth rate. The number of cell migration of group B-F was significantly higher than that of group A (P lt; 0.05), which increased more than 3 times. Groups B-F had higher amount of VEGF than group A (P lt; 0.05), and groups C and D had highest amount of VEGF. FAK expression of groups B-F was significantly increased at 3, 7, and 10 days after CGRP treatment when compared with group A (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion CGRP may enhance the proliferation and migration of HUVECs by increasing the secretion of VEGF and expression of FAK.

    ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of thrombospondin-1 active fragment (TSP-1) synthetical peptide VR-10 on proliferation and migration of rhesus choroidal-retinal endothelial (RF/6A) cell and the expressions of apoptosis relative genes in RF/6A cell. MethodsThe survival rate of RF/6A cell were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium, and migration ability was measured by transwell chamber after exposure to 1.0 μg/ml TSP-1 and synthetic peptide VR-10 (0.1, 1.0, 10.0 μg/ml) for different times (6, 12, 24, 48 hours). Caspase-3 and factor associated suicide (FAS) protein levels were measured by Western blot. The mRNA level of bcl-2 and FAS ligand (FASL) were measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). ResultsThe survival rate of RF/6A cells was determined by the treatment time and concentration of TSP-1(1.0 μg/ml) and the synthetic peptide VR-10 (0.1, 1.0, 10.0 μg/ml). The lowest survival ratio of RF/6A was 78% (P < 0.001) when cells were treated by 10 μg/ml synthetic peptide VR-10 after 48 hours. TSP-1 and synthetic peptide VR-10 could inhibit migration of RF/6A cells in transwell chamber (P < 0.001). 10.0 μg/ml synthetic peptide VR-10 had the strongest effect, 1.0 μg/ml TSP-1 was the next. Migration inhibition rate was increase with the increase of the concentration of VR-10 (P < 0.001). There was no significant differences between 0.1 μg/ml and 1.0 μg/ml VR-10 (P=0.114). Western bolt showed that RF/6A cell in control group mainly expressed the 32×103 procaspase-3 forms. To 10.0 μg/ml VR-10 treated group, it showed decreased expression of procaspase-3 (32×103) and concomitant increased expression of its shorter proapoptotic forms (20×103). Compared with control group, expression of FAS peptides were significantly increased in 10.0 μg/ml VR-10 treated group. Compared with control group, expression of FasL mRNA was significantly increased in 10.0 μg/ml VR-10 treated group(t=39.365, P=0.001), but the expression of bcl-2 mRNA was decreased(t=-67.419, P=0.000). ConclusionTSP-1 and synthetic peptide VR-10 had the ability to inhibit proliferation and migration of endothelial cell, and also induce apoptosis by increasing FAS/FASL expression and repressing bcl-2 expression.

  • Effect of aquaporin 1 on the migration of endothelial progenitor cells

    ObjectiveTo observe the effects of aquaporin 1 (AQP1) on the proliferation and migration of endothelial progenitor-endothelial progenitor cells (EPC).MethodsBone marrow cells of AQP1 wild-type (WT) (n=6) and knockout-type (KO) mice (n=6) were isolated and differentiated into EPC in vitro. Immunofluorescence was used to detect cell surface antigens to identify EPC. Live cell kinetic imaging and quantification technology, transwell migration assays, as well as scratch test were used to compare the function of EPC between AQP1 WT and KO mice.ResultsEPC culture showed that cells were initially suspended and gradually adhered to typical mesenchymal stem cells within 7 days. After cultured on special medium for endothelial cells they were adhered and differentiated, and fusiform or polygonal, paving stone-like EPC were observed around 14 days. When cultured by special medium of EPC, CD133 and CD31 were positively detected after 7 days, and CD34 and Flk-1 were positively detected after 14 days. Positive expression of AQP1 was only detected in EPC of AQP1 WT mice. Functional studies of EPC revealed there was no significant difference in the proliferation of EPC between AQP1 WT and KO group mice. Transwell assay showed that EPC migration ability of AQP1 KO mice was significantly weaker than that of WT mice. The scratch healing ability of EPC in AQP1 KO mice was significantly lower than that of WT mice.ConclusionsEPC initially shows the characteristics of stem cells and with the prolongation of culture time, EPC gradually shows the characteristics of endothelial cells. AQP1 affects the EPC migration rather than proliferation.
