Effect of Panax notoginseng(San Qi) and Gynostemma pentaphyllum(Jiao Gu Lan) on Vascular Remodeling in Rabbits
Objective:To investigate the effects and mechanisms of Panax notoginseng(SQ) and Gynostemma pentaphyllum(JGL) on vascular remodeling.Methods:A total of sixity-four male New Zealand rabbits was randomly divided into six groups:Normal
Model
SQ
JGL
FF(SQ+JGL) and Captopril.The rabbits in control group were fed with regular diet
others were injected with bovine serum albumin 250 mg/kg and fed with high cholesterol diet
meanwhile
durgs were administrated orally.Rabbits were sacrificed at the end of 12 week
aortas serial crosssections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and elastic fibers.Immunohistochemistry were performed to label PCNA and TGF-β1.Results:(1)The pathological changes of all drug treated groups were alleviated.(2)Compound prescription decreased the quantity of aorta VSMC nucleus compared with model group(P<0.05).(3)The aorta PCNA immunostaining number and TGF-β1 immunostaining area of model group were significantly higher than normal group(P<0.01)
all drug treated groups decreased.Conclusion:Reduced expression of TGFβ1
and cellular proliferation may be related with inhibition of VR.
