Abstract

To investigate the effect of polysaccharides from Bletilla striata (BSP) on the adhesion of human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVECs). HUVEC were cultured in DMEM and treated with different concentrations of BSP. The effects of BSP on the proliferation of HUVEC were observed with MTT method. Among control and 60 - 120 microg/ml BSP groups, it showed significant difference specially in 80 microg/ml group. BSP promotes the adhesion of HUVEC but not with a does -dependent manner in vitro.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
