Anti⁃fibrosis mechanism of Bushen Rougan Formula inhibiting angiogenesis in mice
Objective: To investigate the mechanism of Bushen Rougan Formula against hepatic fibrosis from the perspective of angiogenesis.,Methods,2,Male C57 mice were stratified randomly divided into normal group, model group, Bushen Rougan Formula group, Sorafenib group according to body weight. In order to induce liver fibrosis model, the model group, Bushen Rougan Formula group and Sorafenib group were intraperitoneally injected with 0.4% dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) once a day, three times a week for 8 weeks. The drug was administered at the 5th week of modeling. After 8 weeks, the mice were sacrificed, and serum and liver tissue samples were collected. The changes of body weight and death of mice were recorded. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and albumin (ALB) contents were detected after sampling. The degree of hepatic fibrosis was evaluated by sirius red collagen staining and liver hydroxyproline (Hyp) contents. The expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (CD31) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) protein in liver tissue were used to evaluate hepatic angiogenesis.,Results,2,The mortality rate of mice in the model group, Bushen Rougan Formula group and the Sorafenib group was 15.4%(2/13), 0 and 7.7%(1/13), respectively. The contents of serum ALT and AST in Bushen Rougan Formula group and the Sorafenib group were significantly decreased (,P,<,0.05), while the content of serum ALB was significantly increased (,P,<,0.05). Sirius red staining showed that the degree of fibrosis in Bushen Rougan Formula group and Sorafenib group was significantly reduced compared with the model group. Western blot and liver immunohistochemistry showed that CD31 and VEGFR2 protein expression were significantly down-regulated in Bushen Rougan Formula group and the Sorafenib group compared with the model group (,P,<,0.05).,Conclusion,2,Bushen Rougan Formula can effectively improve DMN-induced hepatic fibrosis in mouse model, and its mechanism may be related to inhibition of angiogenesis.
