硫化氢对大鼠心脏成纤维细胞增殖的抑制作用

本文旨在研究硫化氢(hydrogen sulfide,H2S)对大鼠心脏成纤维细胞增殖的抑制作用。以原代培养新生大鼠心脏成纤维细胞(neonatal ratcardiac fibroblasts,NRCFs)为研究对象,用不同浓度血管紧张素II(angiotensin Ⅱ,Ang Ⅱ)或胎牛血清(fetalbovineserum,FBS)刺激NRCFs,建立NRCFs增殖模型。不同浓度硫氢化钠(NaHS,H2S的供体)处理该NRCFs增殖模型后,采用5’-溴-2’-脱氧尿嘧啶(5’-bromo-2’-deoxyuridine,BrdU)掺入法检测NRCFs增殖情况,用2’,7’-二氯荧光素乙酰乙酸盐(2’,7’-di-chlorofluorescein diacetate,DCFH-DA)荧光探针法检测细胞活性氧类(reactive oxygen species,ROS)水平。结果显示,较低浓度的NaHS(1×105mol/L)能促进FBS(2%、10%)对NRCFs的诱导增殖作用,但对Ang Ⅱ(1×107mol/L)所引起的NRCFs增殖的作用不明显,而较高浓度NaHS(5×105、1×104mol/L)...

Inhibitory effect of hydrogen sulfide on cardiac fibroblast proliferation

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) in the proliferation of neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts (NRCFs). Proliferation of NRCFs was induced by the presence of fetal bovine serum (FBS) or angiotensin II (Ang II) at various concentrations. The concentration-dependent effect of NaHS (donor of H(2)S) on NRCFs proliferation was examined. NRCFs proliferation was assessed by 5'-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation method. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was measured using the dye probe, 2', 7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA). The results showed that FBS- or Ang II-induced NRCFs proliferations were inhibited with the treatment of relatively high concentrations of NaHS (5 × 10(-5) mol/L, 1 × 10(-4) mol/L), but FBS-induced proliferation was increased by low concentration of NaHS (1 × 10(-5) mol/L). Two or 6 h of Ang II (1 × 10(-7) mol/L) treatment caused an increase of ROS level in NRCFs, while this increase was inhibited with NaHS (1 × 10(-4) mol/L) treatment. These results suggest that H(2)S is an inhibitor of cardiac fibroblast at a certain concentration range. This inhibitory effect may be mediated by a reduction in intracellular ROS production.
