Objective:To analyze the mechanism of antifibrotic role of Qigong Kangxian decoction(QKD) and the component herbs in rat models of hepatic fibrosis induced by immune injury.Method: A modified comparison method of serum pharmacology was applied to analyze
and QKD’s impact on growth of hepatic stellate cell(HSC-T6) cell and expression of transforming growth factor(TGF-β1) receptor mRNA protein.Result: significant increase in cell growth of stellate cell(HSC-T6) were observed in the rat models comparing with that of normal healthy rats.While rat models treated with different QKD doses showed significant inhibitory effects on growth of HSC-T6 cell(P<0.01 or P<0.05) comparing with model rats.Comparing with normal control group
TGF-β1 mRNA concentration increased significantly in rat models(P<0.01)
but in rat models treated with QKD
TGF-β1 mRNA concentration were all regulated to decrease obviously(P<0.01).Conclusion: One of the main mechanisms of antifibrotic role of QKD and individual herbs is the inhibitory impact on HSC cell growth
and down-regulation of TGF-β1mRNA receptor protein expression.QKD shows a dose dependent effect
which is better than that of Huoxue formula and Ruanjian formula.
