Objective: The mechanism of Jiawei Sini San(JWSNS) in treating hepatic fibrosis was rexplored and studied by observing the expression of collagen Ⅳ and transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ1)mRNA in liver. Method: Fifty animals were randomly divided into 4 groups
in addition to 10 in the control group
the remaining 40 were treated with dimethylnitrosamine (DMN
diluted with saline to 5 g·L-1) to 10 mL·kg-1 ip
once daily for 3 d of each week
which lasted 4 weeks.The groups of treatment were fed with JWSNS gavage. Collagen Ⅳ and TGF-β1 were detected in liver samples by RT-PCR. Result: CoL-Ⅳand mRNA of Liver tissue in JWSNS group was 5.136 ± 1.32
TGFβ1 mRNA was 4.839±0.48
Compared with the pathological model group (CoL-Ⅳ mRNA 10.369±1.69
TGF β1 mRNA 6.307±0.85) the result were significantly different (P<0.05). Conclusion: The mechanism of treating hepatic fibrosis with JWSNS appears to be due to the enhancement of degradiation of Collagen Ⅳ and TGF-β1.JWSNS can treat hepatic fibrosis effectively.
