Abstract: Objective To invastigate the anti-proliferating and apoptotic effect of LY294002 and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(1,25-(OH)2D3) on hepatic stellate (HSC-T6) cells in vitro. MethodsThe HSC-T6 cells were divided into five groups, e.g. control, DMSO, 1,25-(OH)2D3,LY294002 and 1,25-(OH)2D3 plus LY294002. The inhibitory effects were detected by MTT assay; The cell morphology was observed under microscopy; The apoptosis was detected by FCM, and the expression of Ser473,AKT and caspase-3 protein were assayed by Western blotting.Results The inhibitory rate in 1,25-(OH)2D3 plus LY294002 group was 87.5%,much higher than 50.3% in 1,25-(OH)2D3 or 40.3% in LY294002 group (P<0.05) after 48 h intervention;the apoptotic rate in 1,25-(OH)2D3 plus LY294002 group was 92.12%,much higher than 71.0% in 1,25-(OH)2D3 or 34.0% in LY294002-intervented group(P<0.05);the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 increased (P<0.05),and the expression of caspase-3 also increased obviously in 1,25-(OH)2D3 plus LY294002 group(P<0.05).ConclusionLY294002 has an anti-fibrotic effect with the assistance of 1,25-(OH)2D3 on T6 cells in vitro.
