【 摘 要 】

References(26)Cited-By(10)Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB is one of the most potent factors in the development and progression of various vascular disorders such as restenosis and atherosclerosis. Chrysoeriol is a flavonoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, we investigated the effect of chrysoeriol on the proliferation of human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMC). Chrysoeriol significantly inhibited PDGF (20 ng/mL)-induced migration and [3H]-thymidine incorporation into DNA at concentrations of 5 and 10 μM without any cytotoxicity. Chrysoeriol also blocked PDGF-stimulated dissociation of actin filament and inhibited PDGF beta-receptor (Rβ) phosphorylation in a concentration-dependent manner. As a result, the downstream signal transduction pathways of PDGF-Rβ, including ERK1/2, p38, and Akt phosphorylation, were also inhibited by chrysoeriol in the same pattern. These findings suggest that in addition to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, chrysoeriol may be used for the prevention and treatment of vascular diseases and during restenosis after coronary angioplasty.
