Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) plays an important role in promoting angiogenesis of vascular endothelial cells. Different volume fractions of PRP have definite influence on vascular endothelial cells, but it is not clear PRP at which volume fraction is optimal.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of PRP at different volume fractions on the proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells in vitro.
METHODS: Hearts of Sprague-Dawley rats were mechanicaIly minced and enzymatically digested with collagenase. Vascular endothelial cells were counted and cultured in the DMEM culture medium containing various volume fractions of autologous PRP (10%, 20%, 50%) respectively. The cell morphology was observed under an inverted microscope, and cellular proliferation was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Afterwards, scratch test was utilized to detect the cell migration ability and the optimal volume fraction was determined.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After addition of PRP, the well-grown endothelial cells presented with regular shape, changed into polygon-like and became large with time. Different volume fractions of PRP in particular 20% PRP cultured for 72 hours could promote cell proliferation. According to scratch test, 20% and 50% PRP significantly promoted the cell migration, especially 20% PRP. These results indicate that PRP can promote the proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells in vitro, and 20% is the optimal volume fraction.
