【摘要】 背景:前期研究发现,三七总皂苷对小鼠免疫性肝损伤具有一定的保护作用。目的:探究三七皂苷R1对四氯化碳诱导的肝纤维化模型大鼠的治疗作用。方法:用四氯化碳诱导SD雄性大鼠制备肝纤维化模型,给药组按照60 mg/kg的剂量给予30 g/L三七皂苷R1溶液,1次/d,连续4周和6周。对照组及模型组给予同体积的生理盐水,采用苏木精-伊红染色及Masson染色观察肝脏组织结构和纤维化程度分期;反转录-定量聚合酶链反应(q RT-PCR)检测法检测Ⅰ型胶原、α-平滑肌激动蛋白和转化生长因子β1表达水平。实验方案经昆明医科大学动物实验伦理委员会批准(批准号为approval No. KMMU2018018)。结果与结论:(1)肝组织病理学显示,与模型组相比,三七皂苷R1能显著减轻纤维增生程度;(2)与模型组相比,三七皂苷R1组Ⅰ型胶原、α-平滑肌激动蛋白和转化生长因子β1表达水平显著降低(P <0.05),三七皂苷R1给药4周与6周组比较差异无显著性意义;(3)结果提示,三七皂苷R1对四氯化碳诱导的肝纤维化模型大鼠具有一定的治疗作用。更多还原

【Abstract】 BACKGROUND: Previous studies have found that panax notoginseng saponins have a certain protective effect on immunological liver injury in mice. OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic effect of notoginsenoside R1 on carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis in rats. METHODS: Experimental liver fibrosis model was made by carbon tetrachloride in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Then 30 g/L notoginsenoside R1(60 mg/kg) was given once daily for 4 and 6 weeks in the treatment group. Rats in the control and model group were given distilled water of the same volume. Histopathological observation with hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson’s trichrome staining was used to evaluate the changes of liver structure and fibrosis degree. The expression of collage type I, α-smooth muscle actin and transforming growth factor-β1 mRNA of hepatic tissue was measured by qRT-PCR method. The experimental protocol was approved by the Animal Experiment Ethics Committee of Kunming Medical University(approval No. KMMU2018018). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Liver histopathology showed that notoginsenoside R1 improved the degree of liver fibrosis. The expression levels of collagen type I, α-smooth muscle actin and transforming growth factor-β1 mRNA were reduced significantly in the treatment group compared with the model group(P < 0.05). But there was no significant difference after 4 and 6 weeks of treatment with notoginsenoside R1. Overall findings indicate that notoginsenoside R1 can slow down the progression of carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis in rats to a certain extent.更多还原
