Objective: To observe the influence of Huayu Qutan recipe and its separated recipes on the expression of inflammatory factors in cultured human umbilical veins endothelial cells EA.hy 926 induced by LPS. Method: SD rats were equally divided into five groups in random: the control group
Huayu Qutan recipe group
Buqi recipe group
Huayu recipe group and Qutan recipe group. They were ig given daily with normal saline and recipes respectively. Blood drawn from abdominal aorta of the rats 2 h after ending of the treatments on the 9th day
and the serum was takenfor testing. EA.hy926 cells were cultured and equally divided into seven groups randomly: the normal control group
LPS stimulating group
Huayu Qutan recipe group
Buqi recipe group
Huayu recipe group
Qutan recipe group as well as normal serum control group. Then the mRNA levels of NF-κB and TNF-α were tested by RT-PCR. The protein levels of TNF-α and NF-κB were detected by ELISA technique and fluorescent immunocytochemistry method
respectively. Result: The expression of NF-κB and TNF-α were both increased compared to normal group after stimulation of LPS(P<0.01). The expression of NF-κB and TNF-α in Huayu Qutan recipe group and Huayu recipe group were obviously inhibited compared to that of LPS stimulating group (P<0.01). Conclusion: The molecular mechanism of Huayu Qutan recipe and Huayu recipe against atherosclerosis is probably related with the inhibition of expression of NF-κB and TNF-α.
