Effect of Bushen Tongluo Prescription on TGF-β1/Smads Pathway in Pulmonary Fibrosis Rats
To observe the effect of Bushen Tongluo prescription on the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis induced by bleomycin and the transforming growth factor
β

(TGF-
β

)/Smads pathway protein in rats
and reveal the mechanism of this formula in inhibiting pulmonary fibrosis.
Method:
2
Totally 48 male SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: normal group(8 rats)
model group(10 rats)
high and low-dose Bushen Tongluo group(10 rats)and hydrocortisone sodium succinate group(10 rats). The model of pulmonary fibrosis was made with bleomycin except for normal group.Since day 3 after surgery

in high and low-dose Bushen Tongluo groups
and 4.58 g·kg

hydrocortisone sodium succinate was given by gavage(

) in normal group and model group.All of the rats were put to death after 28 days.The contents of hydroxyproline (HYP)
hyaluronic acid (HA) and laminin (LN) were measured after the death of the rats.Hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) and Masson tricolor staining were used to observe the pathological changes of lung tissue. Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to observe the changes of mRNA and protein expressions of lung tissues TGF-

Result:
2
Compared with normal group
the level of pulmonary fibrosis was more significant in model group
and the serum HYP
HA and LN were increased obviously(

P
<
0.01). Compared with model group
the contents of HYP
HA and LN in high-dose Bushen Tongluo group were decreased obviously(
P

the expressions of lung tissues TGF-

Smad3 protein and mRNA were decreased obviously(

and the expressions of Smad7 protein and mRNA was increased significantly(

Conclusion:
2
Bushen Tongluo prescription can effectively improve the pathological process of pulmonary fibrosis
and the mechanism may be related to the regulation of TGF-
