动脉粥样硬化模型大鼠主动脉Rho激酶及相关细胞因子表达与益气活血方的干预
Effects of Qi-Benefiting Blood-Activating Chinese herbs on aorta Rho kinase and related cytokine expression in a rat model of atherosclerosis
摘要
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Representative formulae of Qi-Benefiting and Blood-Activating Chinese medicinal herbs Bu Yang Huan Wu Tang (BYHWT) can improve microcirculation and hypoxia, decrease fibrinogen, resist platelet aggregation, reduce blood lipid, dilate blood vessel, resist thrombosis, and reduce neonatal plaque rupture, and has a multi-target, multi-channel anti-atherosclerotic effect. <br> OBJECTIVE: To observe the influence of representative formulae of Qi-Benefiting and Blood-Activating Chinese medicinal herbs BYHWT on aorta Rho kinase, tissue factor, matrix metal oproteinase-2, matrix metal oproteinase-9 mRNA expression in atherosclerosis models, and to explore the action mechanism of BYHWT on anti-atherosclerosis. <br> METHODS: Vitamin D3 and high fat diet induced atherosclerosis in rats. 60 rats were randomly divided into normal control group, model group, 10 g/kg BYHWT therapy group, 20 g/kg BYHWT therapy group, simvastatin control group and BYHWT prevention group (n=10). At 28 days after model establishment, the expression level of Rho kinase, tissue factor, matrix metal oproteinase-2, matrix metal oproteinase-9 mRNA expression and blood lipid level were detected. <br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) High fat diet and vitamin D3 could induce atherosclerosis in rats. Atherosclerotic plaque formed in the model group. (2) Rho kinase, tissue factor, matrix metal oproteinase-2, matrix metal oproteinase-9 mRNA expression and blood lipid were significantly lower in the normal control group, 20 g/kg BYHWT therapy group, simvastatin control group and BYHWT prevention group than in the model group (P < 0.01). Above indexes were significantly lower in the 10 g/kg BYHWT therapy group than in the model group (P < 0.05). No significant difference in above indexes was detected among BYHWT prevention group, 20 g/kg BYHWT therapy group and simvastatin control group (P > 0.05). (3) Results indicated that Qi-Benefiting and Blood-Activating BYHWT can resist atherosclerosis, down-regulate the expression of Rho kinase, tissue factor, matrix metal oproteinase-2, and matrix metal oproteinase-9 mRNA expression, which may be one of the mechanisms of anti-atherosclerosis.关键词
