Abstract

In recent years, numerous studies confirm that platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is involved in the development of atherosclerosis and the regulation of human aorta VSMC (HA-VSMC) proliferation. Myocardin is an essential transcription factor that can activate the tran-scription of some smooth muscle marker genes. Our results showed that HA-VSMCs treated with PDGF-BB exhibited morphological changes from spindle-shaped to polygonal shape. The expres-sion of proliferation marker gene CyclinD1, osteopontin (OPN), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were increased in PDGF-BB-treated HA-VSMCs. 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine incorpo-ration assay (EdU) and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay confirmed that cell viability and proliferative ability were increased significantly in PDGF-BB treated HA-SMCs. Next, the expression of transcription factor myocardin was decreased in PDGF-BB-treated HA-VSMCs. These results preliminarily demonstrated the role of myocardin in phenotypic switching of PDGF-BB-induced HA-VSMCs.
