Influence of Meth-ferulic Acid on Proliferation and Expression of -smooth Muscle Actin(-SMA) in TGF--induced Human Hepatic Stellate Cells
Objective: To investigate influence of meth-ferulic acid (MFA) on the proliferation and expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in transforming growth factor beta 1(TGF-β1)-induced human hepatic stellate cells (HSC-LX2). Method: TGF-β1 5×107/L induced human hepatic stellate cell line (HSC-LX2) in vitro were cultured with different dose of MFA(the final concentration being 5
10
20 mg·L-1). MTT method was used to detect the proliferation of TGF-β1-induced HSC-LX2. Western blotting and RT-PCR were used to detect the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) of HSC-LX2. Result: MFA could inhibit the proliferation of TGF-β1-induced HSC-LX2 with a dose dependent
the inhibitory effect by 5 mg·L-1 concentration was more obvious
compared with the TGF-β1-induced the model group(P<0.05);and compared with TGF-β1-induced the model group
the expression of α-SMA mRNA and protein by 5 mg·L-1concentration was more obvious. Conclusion: MFA pretreatment on human hepatic stellate cells can reduce α -SMA mRNA and protein levels.
