Anti-liver Fibrosis Effect of Ganlong Capsule Combined with Compound Glycyrrhizin Glucoside
Objective: To observe the anti-liver fibrosis effect of Ganlong capsule combined with compound glycyrrhizin glucoside on human hepatic stellate cells by detecting the content of type I collagen (Col-I)
type III procollagen (PCIII)
type IV collagen (IV-C)
laminin (LN)
hyaluronic acid (HA)
transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and expression levels of Col-I
matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor 1 (TIMP-1) mRNA in human hepatic stellate cell line (LX-2). Method: LX-2 cells were cultured in vitro
and the logarithmic phase cells were divided into compound glycyrrhizin glucoside treatment groups (3.125
1.562
0.781 g·L-1)
blank control group
Ganlong capsule (0.938
0.469
0.235 g·L-1) combined with compound glycyrrhizin glucoside (3.125
1.562
0.781 g·L-1) groups. Then enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used to detect the content of four markers of liver fibrosis (PCIII
IV-C
LN
HA) and the levels of Col-I and TGF-β1; the expression levels of Col-I and TIMP-1 mRNA were detected by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). Result: As compared with compound glycyrrhizin glucoside treatment group
combined drug use could decrease the content of Col-I
HA at 24 h and 48 h (P <0.05)
and reduce the content of LN
HA
Col-I
PCIII
TGF-β1 at 72 h (P <0.05). As compared with the blank control group
the combined drug use can significantly decrease the content of TGF-β1 (P <0.05
P <0.01). As compared with compound glycyrrhizin glucoside treatment group
the combined drug use could significantly decrease the expression of TIMP-1 mRNA (P <0.05) in time-dependent manner; and as compared with the blank control group
the combined drug use showed the inhibition effect for Col-I mRNA at 24 h (P <0.05)
but the expression was increased at 72 h. Conclusion: Ganlong capsule combined with compound glycyrrhizin glucoside can decrease the content of LN
HA
Col-I
TGF-β1 and inhibit the expression of Col-I and TIMP-1 in LX-2 cells
and the effect was better than that of compound glycyrrhizin glucoside treatment group. Ganlong capsule could enhance the anti-fibrosis effect in vitro of compound glycyrrhizin glucoside.
