Effects of Four Chinese Herbs Belong to Lung on Expression of TNF- and IL-1 in Mice with Lung Heat Syndrome
Objective: To investigate the effect of four Chinese herbs belong to lung include Ephedra Herba
Zingiberis Rhizoma
Scutellaria Radix and Mori Cortex in mice with lung heat syndrome and to reveal the mechanism preliminarily. Method: Hundred KM mice were randomly divided into ten groups:normal control group
model group
Ephedra Herba
Zingiberis Rhizoma
Scutellaria Radix and Mori Cortex group(20
10 g·kg-1)
10 mice in each group. The four Chinese herbs were administered once a day for seven days
Streptococcus pneumoniae by nose dropping was used to establish lung heat syndrome model at the four
five and six day. The morphological changes of lung tissue were observed
the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in the serum were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay(ELISA)
the expressions of TNF-α
interleukin(IL)-1β proteins in lung tissue were analyzed by immunohistochemistry staining. Result: Compared with normal control group
the pathological changes of lung tissue in model group was obvious(P<0.001)
the concentrations of TNF-α in the serum were higher(P<0.01)
the expressions of TNF-α
IL-1β proteins in lung tissue were higher(P<0.01).Compared with model group
the pathological changes of lung tissue obviously improved (P<0.01 or P<0.05) in Ephedra Herba low dose group
Zingiberis Rhizoma high and low dose groups
Scutellaria Radix high dose group.The concentrations of TNF-α in the serum were decreased
except Zingiberis Rhizoma high dose group and Scutellaria Radix low dose group(P<0.01
P<0.05).The expressions of TNF-α proteins in lung tissue were decreased
except Zingiberis Rhizoma low dose group
Mori Cortex high dose group (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The expressions of IL-1β in lung tissue was decreased (P<0.01 or P<0.05)except Ephedra Herba low dose group and Mori Cortex low dose group. Conclusion: Ephedra Herba
Zingiberis Rhizoma
Scutellaria Radix and Mori Cortex can intervene lung heat syndrome
inhibit the expressions of TNF-α
IL-1β inflammatory factor
which may be the main pathwayof reducing lung heat syndrome of lung tissue injury in mice.
