摘要
We investigated the effects of endothelin-l (ET-I) on growth of cultured human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (cSMC). ET-I alone stimulated DNA synthesis in growth-arrested cSMC as measured by [H-3]thymidine incorporation, with a maximum 63 +/- 23% increase above control by 10(-7) M (P < 0.05). ET-1 (10(-7) M) also stimulated increases in cyclin D1 protein levels after 24 h, and in absolute cell number after 4 days. Furthermore, ET-1 stimulated protein synthesis (maximum 73 +/- 32% increase in [H-3]leucine incorporation by 10(-7) M (P < 0.05)), as well as triggering intracellular calcium transients in human cSMC, as visualised under fura-2 fluorescence microscopy. The selective ETA receptor antagonist BQ123 inhibited the increases in DNA synthesis, cell number, protein synthesis and intracellular calcium concentration in response to ET-1, whereas the ET, receptor antagonist BQ788 had no such effects. Furthermore, the ETB agonist sarafotoxin 6c had no effect on cSMC DNA synthesis. In addition, co-incubation of ET-1 with threshold concentrations of the growth factors, platelet-derived growth factor-BE (PDGF-BB), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF), resulted in pronounced synergistic increases in DNA synthesis over that observed with the factors alone. In conclusion, we have shown that ET-1 stimulates proliferation of human cSMC via the ETA receptor and is also a co-mitogen with the growth factors tested. These findings indicate a role for ET-I in the development of coronary intimal hyperplasia in man. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
