OBJECTIVE
To investigate the inhibiting role of Salvia miltiorrhiza monomer IH764-3 in proliferation and collagen synthesis and the effect on the expression of focal adhesion kinase in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) stimulated by H2O2 in vitro, so as to provide evidences for preventing hepatic fibrosis.
METHODS
The effects of IH764-3 on the proliferation and collagen synthesis of HSCs were examined by 3H-TdR and 3H-proline incorporation assay, respectively. The expression of FAK mRNA was examined by RT-PCR in lysates of cultured HSCs.
RESULTS
The proliferation and collagen synthesis were inhibited in dose-dependent and time-dependent manners. The expressions of FAK mRNA in the IH764-3 (10 microg/ml, 20 microg/ml, 30 microg/ml, 40 microg/ml) groups were significantly lower than that in the control group.
CONCLUSIONS
The present results demonstrate that IH764-3 can inhibit HSC proliferation and collagen synthesis. Meanwhile the mRNA transcription of FAK is reduced significantly, FAK as a signal molecule, can be involved in the effect of IH764-3. This may be one of the anti-fibrotic mechanisms of Salvia Miltiorrhiza.
