Human tissue kallikrein 1 gene delivery inhibits PDGF-BB-induced vascular smooth muscle cells proliferation and upregulates the expressions of p27Kip1 and p2lCip1

Tissue kallikrein 1 cleaves kininogen substrate to produce vasoactive kinin peptides that have been implicated in inhibiting neointimal hyperplasia in rat carotid arteries after balloon injury. However, its effects on the proliferation, cell cycle and its mechanisms, for example, cyclin-dependent ki...

Description
Summary:Tissue kallikrein 1 cleaves kininogen substrate to produce vasoactive kinin peptides that have been implicated in inhibiting neointimal hyperplasia in rat carotid arteries after balloon injury. However, its effects on the proliferation, cell cycle and its mechanisms, for example, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, p27 Kip1 and p2l Cip1 in vascular biology are poorly understood. The objective of this study was to explore the effects of human tissue kallikrein 1 (hTK1) mediated by recombinant adenovirus (Ad-hTK1) on proliferation and cell cycle of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) derived from spontaneously hypertensive rats induced by platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) in vitro. The results showed that, within a given multiplicity of infection (MOI) and time, the hTK1 gene delivery inhibited PDGF-BB-stimulating VSMCs growth in a concentration-dependent (20–100 MOI) and time-dependent (2–5 days) manner by cell counting, with a peak inhibition rate at 36.3% at 72 h ( P
