Effect and Mechanism of Supplemental Sini San on Hepatic Fibrosis in Rats
Objective:To study the effect and mechanism of Supplemental Sini San(SNSJW) on rats liver hepatic fibrosis.Method: The immunohepatic fibrosis model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of porcine serum.in to rats.Seventy Wister rats were divided into seven groups:normol control
model control
SNSJW high-dose group
mediate-dose group and low-dose group
prevention group
Sini San(SNS) group.Except the normol control groups
all the other groups were injected with pig’s serum without inactivation into abdominal cavity
twice per week and 0.5 mL each time
persisting for 10 weeks.The prevention groups were injected the stomach with the medicines(SNSJW 7 g·kg-1
10 weeks)at the same time when models began to be made
the other treatment groups were dealed with just as the prevention groups 6 weeks later persisting for 4 weeks.Ten rats were randomly taken for decollation in all six groups at the end of 10th week.SNS group 4 g·kg-1
SNSJW high-dose group 14 g·kg-1
mediate-dose group 7 g·kg-1
low-dose group 3.5 g·kg-1.The changes of hepatic fibrosiswere detected respectively.The expression of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)
p38motogen-activated protein kinase(p38MAPK)
a-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)
matrixmetalloproteinase-13(MMP-13)
and tissue inhibitive factor of metalloprote-ase(TIMP-1) in liver tissue were detected by immunohistochemical techniques.Result: Compared with SNSJW mediate-dose group with model group
the expression of TGF-β1
p38MAPK
α-SMA and TIMP-1 protein was lower
but the expression of MMP-13 protein was significantly higher in SNSJW mediate-dose group.Conclusion:Supplemental Sini San has a positive action of treatment on hepatic fibrosis model rats
the mechanism is related with its inhibiting the expression of TGF-β1
