Effects of salvianolic acid B on SCF expressing of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of salvianolic acid B on the stem cells factor(SCF) secretion and mRNA expression of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) in vitro.Methods MSCs were isolated,cultured and purified in vitro by adherent culture.The 3rd passage of MSCs was chosen to undergo the experiments.MSCs were cultured in five groups of lower glucose DMEM media containing different concentration of salvianolic acid B as follows: group of control(no salvianolic acid B added),four groups of salvianolic acid B treatment(0.03?g/ml,0.3?g/ml,3?g/ml and 30?g/ml of salvianolic acid B were added,respectively,into the lower glucose DMEM media).The quantities of SCF were measured by ELISA in the supernatant of cultured MSCs harvested at 24h,48h and 72h culturing.The expression of SCF mRNA in the supernatant of cultured MSCs harvested at 24h,48h and 72h culturing were analyzed with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.Results RT-PCR assay displayed that dissolvent and membrane type of SCF mRNA expressed in MSCs basically.The expression of SCF mRNA and the quantities of SCF increased significantly(compared with the control group,P0.05).Conclusion Salvianolic acid B may promote the secretion of SCF and reinforce the expression of SCF mRNA of MSCs,implying that SCF might play an important role on the treatment of myocardial ischemia with the traditional Chinese medicine Salviae miltiorrhizae.
