Effects of Jianwei Shoutai Pills-mediated PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway on angiogenic function in Mifepristone induced HTR-8/SVneo cell injury model
Objective:To investigate the effects of Jianwei Shoutai Pills in regulating PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway on the angiogenic function of Mifepristone induced HTR-8/SVneo cell injury model.Methods:Twenty chorionic villus tissues were collected from spontaneous abortion patients(SA)and normal pregnant females(NP)respectively.A Mifepristone-induced HTR8-SVneo cell injury model was constructed and divided into negative control group,model group,progesterone group,and Jianwei Shoutai Pills group.The effects of Mifepristone on the growth of HTR-8/SVneo cells and the effects of Jianwei Shoutai Pills on the growth of Mifepristone-induced HTR-8/SVneo cell injury models were detected by CCK8.The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A(VEGFA),vascular endothelial growth factor receptor(VEGFR)1,VEGFR2,and the signaling pathway PI3K,p-AKT,and p-mTOR-related proteins were measured by Western Blot.Results:The expression of VEGFA,VEGFR 1,VEGFR2 and signaling pathway PI3K,p-AKT,p-mTOR related proteins were down-regulated in the chorionic villus tissues of spontaneous abortion patients compared to normal pregnant women(P<0.05,P<0.01);Different concentrations of Jianwei Shoutai Pills for 24 hours increased the activity of mifepristone induced HTR-8/SVneo cell injury model(P<0.05,P<0.01);VEGFA,VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 expression were downregulated in the Mifepristone induced HTR-8/SVneo cell injury model(P<0.05,P<0.01),and PI3K signaling pathway protein expression was decreased(P<0.01),while Jianwei Shoutai Pills increased the model angiogenic function related protein and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway protein expression(P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion:The Jianwei Shoutai Pills may increase the expression of VEGFA and its receptor in the Mifepristone-induced HTR-8/SVneo cell injury model through mediating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway,thus playing a role in tonifying the kidney and calming the fetus.
