Abstract

Restenosis is resulted from the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from the arterial media into the intima within the vessel lumen following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). OSU-03012, a synthetic compound (2-amino-N-{4-[5-(2-phenanthrenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]-phenyl} acetamide) acting as a PDK-1 inhibitor, is used as an apoptosis-promoting anticancer drug. However, whether OSU-03012 can inhibit VSMC proliferation and migration following PTCA remains unclear. In this study, we used A10 smooth muscle cells cultured in 10% FBS for stimulating proliferation and evaluated the inhibitory effects of OSU-03012 on cell proliferation and migration. The data demonstrated that OSU-03012 dose-dependently inhibited A10 cell proliferation examined by Trypan blue, MTT and morphological alteration assays, and inhibited the levels of proliferation-related proteins, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), phosphorylated ERK examined by western blotting. Additionally, 10 μM OSU-03012 also enhanced apoptosis examined using DAPI assay by regulating apoptosis-related proteins. Furthermore, compared with the control group, A10 cells treated with 10 μM OSU-03012 showed a lower ...Continue Reading

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.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here

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
