Abstract

Anticancer drugs are commonly used as inhibitors of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation in clinical treatments. This study aims to investigate how elemene affects the proliferation of VSMCs, the restenosis, and the reendothelialization after implanting the elemene-coated stents. VSMCs derived from rat aorta were used to test the cell proliferation, cell cycle, migration, apoptosis, cytoskeletal protein F-actin, intracellular Ca(2+), IncRNA chip and gene expression of PCNA, P53, and Cx43 when cultured with elemene. It was found that elemene can inhibit proliferation, induce apoptosis and block the connections between VSMCs in a dose-dependent manner. IncRNA chip analysis has revealed that there was a significant difference in the expression of 1417 genes and 34 signaling pathways. Elemene liposome membranes prepared by electrostatic spray could also inhibit the proliferation of VSMCs. In addition, after implanting the elemene-coated stent into a rabbit iliac artery for 12 weeks, the surface of elemene-coated stents was fully covered with a layer of neointima and a few platelets. However, a large number of platelets aggregated and attached on the uncoated stents (control samples). In conclusion, elemene could inhibit...Continue Reading

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Actin-binding Proteins

Actin-binding proteins are a component of the actin cytoskeleton that play essential roles in cellular functions such as regulation of actin polymerization, maintenance of cell polarity, gene expression regulation, cell motility and many more functions. Discover the latest research on actin-binding proteins here.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
