The present study aimed to investigate the effect of tanshinone II, isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: Control, LPS and tanshinone II. Animals in the tanshinone II and
Aortic valve calcification (AVC) is a pathological process correlated with multiple disease causes and actively regulated by cardiac valve cells. In this study, porcine aortic valve myofibroblasts cultured in vitro were treated with 50 μg z L(-1) of pathological factor tumor necrosis factor α
OBJECTIVE
To observe the influence of tanshinone II A on the expression of toll like receptor 4(TLR4) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in cultured human umbilical veins endothelial cells EA.hy926 induced by LPS, and to investigate the molecular mechanism of tanshinone II A against
OBJECTIVE
To study the action of tanshinone II-A sulfonate (Tan) on adhesion molecule expression by cultured endothelial cells and platelets.
METHODS
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced ICAM-1 expression on the cell surface and endothelial adhesivity toward HL-60 cells were studied using
OBJECTIVE
To study the effects of sodium tanshinone II A sulfonate (STS) on proliferation of fibroblasts (Fbs) in human hypertrophic scar (HS), the mRNA and protein expressions of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) and alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and to investigate the scar inhibition
OBJECTIVE
Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) is effective in the treatment of inflammation and atherosclerosis. The adhesion of inflammatory cells to vascular endothelium plays important role in atherogenic processes. This study examined the effects of Tan IIA on expression of adhesion molecules in tumor
To explore the protective effect of sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate (STS) on microcirculatory disturbance of small intestine in rats with sepsis, and the possible mechanism, a rat model of sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham
BACKGROUND
Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge is a traditional Asian medicine used to treat cerebral and cardiac ischemia. However, the effects of the active compounds of S. miltiorrhiza on liver damage are unclear.
OBJECTIVE
In this study, we tested the effects on acute liver injury of crude S. miltiorrhiza
