Efficacy Evaluation and Mechanisms of Youguiyin in Rats with Pulmonary Fibrosis
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and mechanism of Youguiyin
a representative decoction of tonifying kidney yang
in the rats with bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis. Method: A total of 25 SPF male rats were divided into five groups by the method of random number table
namely normal group
model group
as well as Youguiyin high
medium and low dose groups
with 5 rats in each group. Pulmonary fibrosis models were established by intratracheal injections of bleomycin(5 mg·kg-1)
and the rats were treated with high
medium and low doses (20
10
5 g·kg-1) of Youguiyin for 14 days from day 15 after modeling. Then the inspiratory resistance (Ri)
expiratory resistance (Re)
lung compliance (Cdyn)
forced vital capacity (FVC)
0.4 second rate (FEV0.4/FVC%)
peak expiratory flow rate (PEF)
and maximum mid expiratory flow velocity (MMF) were tested by animal lung function instrument
and FVC/lung weight were calculated; the weights of organs were recorded and the organ coefficient was calculated. The pH values of abdominal aorta (pH)
oxygen partial pressure (PO2)
carbon dioxide pressure (PCO2)
oxygen saturation (SO2) were detected by blood gas analyzer. Renin
prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) levels in serum were measured with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Histopathological abnormalities in left lungs were evaluated by Masson's trichrome stain. Result: As compared with the normal group
intratracheal injection of 5 mg·kg-1 bleomycin can significantly increase the lung weight and lung coefficient (P< 0.05)
decrease Cdyn
FVC and FVC/lung weight (P< 0.05)
increase Ri (P< 0.05)
increase FEV0.4/FVC% (P< 0.05)
increase PCO2 in abdominal aortic blood (P< 0.05)
decrease PO2 and SO2 significantly (P< 0.05)
and increase PGE2 levels in serum (P< 0.05) of SD rats. Pathological examination of lung tissues showed large area of consolidation in lung tissue of model rats
and those lung tissues with consolidation were mostly formed by the non-fibrosis area with abnormal cell proliferation and fibrosis area with a large number of extracellular matrix deposition. As compared with the model group
Youguiyin medium dose group decreased the lung weight significantly (P<0.05)
increased Cydn
FVC and FVC/lung (P<0.05)
decreased Ri and FEV0.4/FVC% (P<0.05)
decreased PGE2 levels (P< 0.05); while PO2 and SO2 levels in arterial blood were significantly increased in high dose group (P<0.05). Pathological examination showed Youguiyin can inhibit chronic inflammatory infiltration from pulmonary consolidation to normally aerated lung parenchyma. Conclusion: Youguiyin could improve the pulmonary function of model rats
which may be associated with lowing PGE2 in serum
inhibiting the diffusion of chronic inflammatory infiltration
