ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of Slit2 protein on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs .Methods The VSMCs was cultured in our laboratory .The experiment was divided into two parts ,part one:VSMCs were divided into normal con‐trol group and experimental groups(culture with 50 ,75 ,100 ,125 and 150 ng/mL Slit2 respectively);part two :VSMCs were divided into normal control group ,positive control group(culture with TNF‐α10 ng/mL) and experimental groups(culture with TNF‐α10 ng/mL+Slit2 50 ng/mL ,TNF‐α10 ng/mL+Slit2 75ng/mL ,TNF‐α10 ng/mL+ Slit2 100 ng/mL ,TNF‐α10 ng/mL+ Slit2 125 ng/mL and TNF‐α10 ng/mL+Slit2 150 ng/mL respectively) .To detect proliferation and migration of VSMCs by CCK‐8 and tran‐swell experiment .Results The difference of OD value and numbers of VSMCs has no statistical significance in the presence of Slit 2 (P=0 .516 ,P=0 .52) .The numbers of VSMCs has statistical significance between control and positive control groups (P=0 .00) . The numbers of VSMCs in experimental groups were fewer than positive control group (P<0 .05) ,whereas the difference of OD value still has no statistical significance between experimental and positive groups (P= 0 .173) .Conclusion Recombinant Slit2 could inhibits migration in VSMCs induced by TNF‐α,whereas it has no effect on proliferation of VSMCs .
