Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Rat tail collagen type I can promote the increase of muscle fiber cells and migration and tube formation of endothelial cells, which is speculated to provide a more suitable internal environment for the growth of cells.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect and safety of platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) with rat rail collagen against apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells in vitro.
METHODS: The passage 4 human umbilical vein endothelial cells were cultured in the medium of rat rail collagen and the reduction ratio in different time points was detected by Alamar Blue. The passage 4 human umbilical vein endothelial cells were divided into four groups and cultured in 24-well culture plates: control group, PDGF-BB group, H2O2 group, PDGF-BB+collagen group. H2O2 was used to induce cell apoptosis in all the groups. Western blot was used to detect the expression of PDGF-BB, apoptosis-related protein and anti-apoptosis protein after 72 hours. Meanwhile, TUNEL method was used to detect cell apoptotic rate.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The tube formation in the human umbilical vein endothelial cells was more than that cultured in normal medium (P < 0.05). Cells cultured with rat tail collagen showed similar growth to normal control cells, indicating rat tail collagen had no cytotoxicity. The expressions of PDGF-BB, Bcl-2, and p-Akt in the PDGF-BB+collagen group were significantly higher than those in the other three groups (P < 0.05), but the expression of Bax was lower than that in the other three groups (P < 0.05). The apoptotic rate in the PDGF-BB+collagen group was lower than the PDGF-BB group and H2O2 group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that rat tail collagen has no cytotoxicity to human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and rat tail collagen combined with PDGF-BB can predominantly enhance anti-apoptosis effects.
