Objective To explore the potential mechanism of Longzhi Tang( 龙蛭汤) promoting proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells( HUVECs). Methods The HUVECs were made autophagy models by 400μmol/L perhydrol( H

) intervention for 4 hours. The impact of serum containing Longzhi Tang on proliferation in the model group was examined by Cell Counting Kit-8( CCK-8) method. The expressions of HUVECs Autophagy microtubule-associated protein light chain 3Ⅱ( LC3-Ⅱ) and Bcl-2 homologous domain protein( Beclin-1) were examined. Results Compared with the normal group
the difference of proliferation absorbance( OD) value and relative multiplication rate in the blank group was not significant( P

0. 05). Compared with the blank group and the normal group
HUVECs proliferation OD value and relative multiplication rate in the model group decreased; the expressions of LC3-Ⅱ and Beclin-1 increased( P

HUVECs proliferation OD value
relative multiplication rate and the expressions of LC3-Ⅱ and Beclin-1 in the Longzhi Tang group increased( P

0. 05). Cells in the normal group and the blank serum group had no obvious changes. The bilayer membrane structures and the number of vacuoles in the cytoplasm in the model group reduced. In the Longzhi Tang group

which might maintain the integrity of cell morphology and promote cell proliferation. The mechanism might relate to up-regulating cell autophagy level.
