Objective To explore the effects of Shenfuhuang Fomula(参附黄方) on inflammation and phagocytosis of macrophages in zebrafish and its mechanism. Methods Transgenic neutrophil fluorescent zebrafish and wild-type AB strain zebrafish were used as experimental subjects to establish a zebrafish inflammation model and a macrophage phagocytosis model
respectively. Mortality and cardiovascular toxicity were applied to screen the medicinal concentration of Shenfuhuang Fomula; neutrophil count was used to evaluate the effect of Shenfuhuang Fomula on zebrafish inflammation model
and indomethacin was set as a control; zebrafish white blood cells interleukin 10(IL-10)
tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)
inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS)
recombinant human arginase 1(ARG1)
interleukin 1β(IL-1β) mRNA expression were detected to evaluate the effect of Shenfuhuang Fomula on the phagocytic function of zebrafish phagocytes. Results The maximum safe concentration of Shenfuhuang Fomula for zebrafish was 10 mg/ml. In this study
the low
medium and high dose concentrations of Shenfuhuang Fomula were 1.1
3.3 and 10 mg/ml
respectively. In the inflammation model
the number of neutrophils in the inflammation site of the model control group was higher than that of the normal control group(P<0.01); compared with the model control group
in the indomethacin group and in the Shenfuhuang Fomula middle and high dose groups
the number of neutrophils in the inflammation site of zebrafish decreased(P<0.01); the inflammation subsided in the Shenfuhuang Fomula medium dose group was 44.1%. In the macrophage phagocytic model
compared with the normal control group
the expression of TNF-α and IL-10 mRNA in the Shenfuhuang Fomula medium and high dose groups increased
and the expression of IL-1β mRNA in the Shenfuhuang Fomula high dose group increased
and the expression of ARG1 mRNA decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion Shenfuhuang Fomula has a good immune activation effect
and its mechanism may be related to reducing the number of neutrophils and regulating the typing of macrophages.
