Effect of Cooling Blood Method in Inhibiting Macrophage Apoptosis Against Atherosclerosis
To observe the effect of serum-containing Qingxin Tongmai decoction(QXTMD) on the apoptosis rate of mouse mononuclear macrophage cell line RAW264.7 induced by Acetylated low density lipoprotein (ac-LDL) and the expressions of type A scavenger receptor(SR-A)
B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)
Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax)
inositol-requiring enzyme 1
α
(IRE1

)
exploring the possible mechanism of QXTMD in the treatment of atherosclerosis.
Method:
2
Eight New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into the atorvastatin group (2.6 g·kg
-1
) low
medium and high-dose QXTMD groups (3.33
6.66
13.32 mg·kg
-1
). After 7 days of gavage
the carotid blood was collected to prepare drug-containing serum. The RAW264.7 cell line was stimulated with 2.5%
5%
10%
and 20%drug-containing serum culture for 6
12
and 24 h
respectively. The cell proliferation rate was observed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method. The RAW264.7 cell line was cultured
in vitro
and divided into blank group
model group
atorvastatin group
and low
medium and high-dose QXTMY groups. The cells in blank group were cultured with bovine serum albumin(BSA). The model group was stimulated with BSA+ 50 mg·L
-1
ac-LDL for 24 h. The other groups were stimulated with BSA+ 50 mg·L
-1
ac-LDL+ 10%drug-containing serum for 24 h. The apoptosis rate and SR-A expression of RAW264.7 cells were detected by flow cytometry. The expressions of Bcl-2
Bax and IRE1
α
protein were detected by Western blot.
Result:
2
Compared with the blank group
the model group could increase the apoptosis rate of RAW264.7 cells (
P
<
0.01) and the expressions of Bax and SR-A protein (
P
<
0.01)
but decrease the expression of Bcl-2 protein (
P
<
0.05). Compared with the model group
low
medium and high-dose QXTMD groups could decrease the apoptosis rate of RAW264.7 cell line (
P
<
0.05) and the expressions of SR-A and IRE1
α
(
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). The low-dose QXTMD group and the high-dose QXTMD group could decrease the expression of Bax(
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). The middle-dose group and the high-dose group could decrease the expression of Bcl-2(
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
QXTMD can reduce the apoptosis rate of macrophages. The mechanism of atherosclerosis may be related to the expressions of Bax
