目的研究豹皮樟总黄酮(TFLC)抗肝纤维化作用并探讨作用机制。方法SD大鼠随机分为6组:正常组、模型组、TFLC组(100、200、400m异/kg)和秋水仙碱组(0.1mg/kg)。除正常组外,采用50%CCl4花生油溶液(1m1/kg)皮下注射,每周2次,连续12周复制肝纤维化模型。治疗组于造模第7周开始灌胃给予相应的药物。第12周末处死老鼠,分离血清,比色法检测谷丙转氨酶(ALT)、谷草转氨酶(AST)的含量,放免法检测透明质酸(HA)、层粘连蛋白(LN)、Ⅳ型胶原(CⅣ)、Ⅲ型前胶原氨端肽(PmNP)的含量。肝组织石蜡切片HE染色。采用RT-PCR法检测肝组织中TGF-β1、CTGFmRNA的表达。结果TFLC(200、400mg/kg)组血清中ALT、AST、HA、LN、CⅣ、PⅢNP的水平下降,肝纤维化程度明显减轻,肝组织中TGF-β1、CTGFmRNA的表达明显减少。结论TFLC有抗肝纤维化的作用,这可能与其能够抑制肝纤维化大鼠肝组织中TGF-β1、CTGFmRNA的表达有关。
Objective To investigate the anti-hepatic fibrosis effect and partly mechanisms of total flavonoids of litsea coreana level(TFLC) in rats with hepatic fibrosis. Methods SD rats randomly divided into six groups [ ( the normal, the model, the TFLC (100 ,200 ,400 mg/kg) and the colchicin(0. 1 mg/kg) groups]. The model of hepatic fibrosis was induced by injecting 50% CC14 (1 ml/kg) twice weekly for 12 weeks. From the 7th week, all the therapeutic groups were treated with the TFLC (100,200,400 mg/kg) and the colchicin(0. 1 mg/kg) respectively for 6 weeks. At the 12nd week, the levels of ALT, AST, HA, LN, C Ⅳ and P III NP in serum were measured. HE staining was used to evaluate the degree of hepatic fibrosis. The mRNA expression of TGF-β1 and CTGF in liver tissue were detected by RT-PCR. Results TFLC(200,400 mg/kg) not only reduce the levels of ALT,AST,HA,LN, C IV and P HI NP in serum significantly, and the degree of hepatic fibrosis , but also decreased the mRNA expression of TGF-β1 and CTGF in liver tissues obviously. Conclusion TFLC has anti-hepatic fibrosis effect, which might be associated with inhibiting the TGF-β1 and CTGF mRNA expression of liver tissues in hepatic fibrosis rats.
