Abstract:

Objective: To investigate whether Schisandrin B (Sch B) can attenuate the effect of PM2.5 on the proliferation of human trophoblast HTR-8/Svneo (HTR) cells. Methods: The in vitro cultured HTR cells were treated by PM2.5 of 10-1 000 μg/mL concentration, Sch B-alone and Sch B plus PM2.5. The proliferation of HTR cells was tested by MTS method. Results: PM2.5 of different concentrations from 10 to 1 000 μg/mL inhibited the proliferation of HTR cells (P<0.01), and the inhibition rate of 150 μg/mL PM2.5 was 21.97%. Sch B of the concentration from 0.1 to 5 μmol/L attenuated the PM2.5-induced inhibition of HTR cells proliferation, with a dose-effect relationship among 0.1-2 μmol/L. Sch B of 2 μmol/L presented the highest protection rate (14.07%). Conclusions: Sch B could attenuate the PM2.5-induced inhibition of HTR cell proliferation, suggesting a potential protection of human trophoblast cells in vivo.
