Effect of Xugudan on Expression of VEGF and TGF- in Rats with Nonunion of Tibia
Objective: To observe the effect ofexternal application of Xugudan on expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in rat model of tibial nonunion. Method: A total of 10 SD rats were selected as blank group
and 50 modeled SD rats were randomly divided into model group
high
middle and low dose Xugudan(150
75
25 mg · kg-1) groups
and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) group. In 4 weeks
and 8 weeks after the intervention
X-ray detection and measurement of bone spacing were conducted; hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the morphological changes. Real-time PCR and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used todetect VEGF
and TGF-β changes in bone injury and serum. Result: As compared with the model group
bone spacing
VEGF and TGF-β expression levels were significantly increased in Xugudan high
middle and low dose groups as well as TENS group(P<0.01). As compared with TENS group
bone spacing
VEGF and TGF-β expression levels were significantly increased in Xugudan high dose group (P<0.01)
butthe difference was not significant from Xugudan middle dose group
and the levels were significantly decreased in Xugudan low dose group (P<0.01
P<0.05). Conclusion: Xugudan can improve the local blood supply by regulating the expression of VEGF and TGF-β
