Objective To investigate the effects of blocking p38MAPK by its specific blocker
SB203580
on the proliferation
apoptosis and cell cycle of rat hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Methods Rat HSCs stimulated by acetaldehyde (200 μmol/L) were incubated with SB203580 at concentrations of 5
10 and 20 μmol/L respectively. Cellular proliferation inhibition rate (CPIR) were ana
lyzed by MTT assay
and the changes of apoptotic rate and cell cycle were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results Compared with acetaldehyde control group
SB203580 at different concentrations inhibited the proliferation of HSC significantly and the CPIR was 21.6%
27.0% and 31.5% respectively (P0.05). SB203580 also promoted the apoptosis of HSC significantly with the apoptotic rate of (13.7±0.3)%
(14.9±0.2)%
and (16.1±0.2)% respectively (P0.05). And the cell percentage of G

was significantly increased by (29.1±1.9)%
(35.5±3.4)% and (46.0±2.6)% respectively (P0.05)
while
cell percentage of S was significantly decreased by (53.4±2.6)%
(48.4±3.6)% and (43.8±1.1)%(P0.05). Conclusion After p38MAPK is blocked by SB203580 specifically in HSC stimulated by acetaldehyde
cell proliferation is inhibited but apoptosis promoted
