Abstract:Objective: To explore the difference between collagenase digestion method and explant-culture method to obtain vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) primary culture on maintaining contractile phenotype. Methods: The 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th generation of primary VSMCs were obtained via type II collagenase digestion and explant-culture method. VSMCs contractile phenotype protein markers, calopnin and smooth muscle actin-α (SMA-α), as well assecreted protein osteopontin (OPN), were detected by western blot between different generations. The migration and proliferation ability of VSMCs from two methods were detected by wound-healing assay and MTT assay, and the phenotype protein markers expression by immunofluorescence and western blot. Results: We found VSMCs obtained from enzyme digestion initially exhibited stronger SMA-α and calponin expression, lower OPN expression and suppressed cellular proliferation and migration compared with that from explant-culture method. However, we observed a positive correlation between cell generation and VSMCs dedifferentiation degree, and a stronger dedifferentiation trend in enzyme digestion cells after 8th generation. Conclusion: Type II collagenase digestion method shows advantages in acquiring primary cells rapidly and maintaining VSMCs contractile phenotype within 4th generation compared with explant-culture method.
