    Abstract:

    Aim To investigate angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) and oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) regulating the expression of Smurf2 and collagenⅠin cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Methods The mRNA expression was tested by RT-PCR. The protein expression was examined by Western blot. The protein expression of collagenⅠwas examined by ELISA. Results Compared with control group, Ang Ⅱ decreased Smurf2 expression (P<0.05) and enhanced collagenⅠexpression (P<0.05), ox-LDL enhanced Smurf2 expression (P<0.01) and decreased collagenⅠexpression (P<0.05). Ox-LDL concentration-dependently induced Ang Ⅱ-decreased Smurf2 expression (P<0.05) and collagenⅠ concentration. Conclusion Ang Ⅱ decreased Smurf2 expression in cultured VSMC. Ang Ⅱ may inhibit Smurf2 expression to improve collagenⅠ production. ox-LDL enhanced Smurf2 expression. ox-LDL may improve the expression of Smurf2 to suppress the production of collagenⅠ. ox-LDL concentration-dependently induced Ang Ⅱ-decreased Smurf2 expression, while decreased collagenⅠ expression.
