Protective Effect of Xinmailong Capsules on Morphologic Injury in Primary Cultured Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Objective: To investigate the primary culture method of rat aorta VSMCs and observe the protection of XMLJ on
morphologic injury of VSMCs indcued by H2O2. Methods: Rat aorta VSMCs were cultured following tissue-piece inoculation method. Cultured VSMCs were then stimulated with 62.5 μmol·L-1 H2O2 under the condition of with or without XMLJ, HE dyeing method was applied to observe the morphologic changes of VSMCs. Results: With XMLJ 200 μg·mL-1, VSMCs under oxidative stress exhibited nearly no difference compared with the normal cells. XMLJ with 200 μg·mL-1 on VSMCs morphologic change induced by oxidative stress showed obvious protective effect.Conclusion: Tissue-piece inoculation culture of VSMCs is uncomplicated. There was a protective effect of XMLJ on morphologic injury of VSMCs.
