Objective To explore the underlying possible mechanism of Yangyin Qingfei Fang( YQF) in treating radioactive pulmonary fibrosis. Methods 20 Wistar rats were randomly divided into a YQF group( given YQF concentrate with the concentration of 0. 97 g / ml
1 ml /100 g)
a hormone group( given prednisolone acetate tablets aqueous solution with the concentration of 0. 125 g / ml
1 ml /100 g)
a YQF combined with hormone group( given YQF concentrate combined with prednisolone acetate tablets aqueous solution
0. 5 ml /100 g respectively)
a model group and a non-irradiated group( both given normal saline
1 ml /100 g). All the animals were given with gavage twice a day( morning and night) for three days. The medicated serum was prepared and produced by drawing blood from abdominal aorta one hour after medication on the fourth day morning. Human embryonic lung fibroblasts were inoculated in 6-well plates
and divided into a non-irradiated group
a model group
an YQF group
a hormone group
and a YQF combined with hormone group. Except the non-irradiated group
all groups were given Cobalt 60 irradiated with the dose of 8Gy. After irradiation
The supernate of all groups was sucked and discarded
and then the corresponding medicated serum culture mediums were added in
respectively. TGF-β1 content was determined at the 24 h
48 h and72 h. Cells were cultured ditto. 24 hours after irradiation
expression of α-SMA was tested. Results Expression of TGF-β1 was significantly increased at all times points in the model group
YQF group
hormone group and YQF combined with hormone group compared with that in the non-irradiated group( P < 0. 05). Compared with the model group
expression of TGF-β1 was obviously decreased in the hormone group and YQF combined with hormone group at the 24 h
in the YQF group and YQF combined with hormone group at 48 h
and in the YQF group and hormone group at 72 h( P < 0. 05). The expression of α-SMA was all significantly decreased in the hormone group
YQF group
and YQF combined with hormone group compared with that in the model group( P < 0. 05)
especially in YQF combined with hormone group( P < 0. 05). Conclusion YQF could suppress the expression of TGF-β1 and α-SMA
which might be one of its action mechanisms in treating radioactive pulmonary fibrosis.
