丹参素对大鼠肝星状细胞氨基末端蛋白激酶信号转导的影响

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of danshensu on the activation of JNK signaling in rat hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) induced by IL-1 β. Methods The proliferation of primary rat HSCs treated with different concentration of Danshensu was checked by MTT colorimetric assay. The expres-sion and phosphorylation of JNK and P-JNK was detected by western blotting. Synthesis and secretion of collagen Ⅰ were detected by the quantitative immunocytochemical assay and ELISA. Results Danshensu inhibited the proliferation of HSCs in a dose-dependent manner. At the concentration of 0.0625 to 0.25 mmol/L, Danshensu significantly repressed the proliferation of HSC induced by IL-115 (P < 0.05). Synthesis and secretion of Type β collagen was significantly decreased 24 hours after 0.25 mmol/L Danshensu treatment (P < 0.01). The phosphorylation of JNK induced by IL-1 β was significantly inhibited by Danshensu treatment (P < 0.05), however, the expression of JNK was not regulated by Danshensu. Conelutions Danshensu represses the activation and proliferation of HSCs, and inhibits the synthesis and secretion of Type β collagen, possibly via the repression of the JNK signal transduction.
