目的 观察参七虫草方对肺纤维化大鼠精氨酸琥珀酸盐合成酶-1(ASS1)/src酪氨酸激酶(src)/信号转导和转化激活因子3(STAT3)通路相关因子表达的影响,探讨其治疗肺纤维化的作用机制。方法 选择120只SPF级SD雄性大鼠,采用随机数字表法分为5组:空白组、模型组、参七虫草方组、吡非尼酮组、精氨酸脱亚胺酶(ADI)腹腔注射组(24只/组)。除空白组以外,4组均使用一次性气管内滴注博来霉素(BLM)诱导制备特发性肺纤维化的大鼠模型。造模成功后,参七虫草组予参七虫草方汤剂(0。423 g/kg)灌胃;吡非尼酮组予溶于生理盐水的吡非尼酮胶囊粉末(10 mL·kg-1·d-1)灌胃2次;ADI腹腔注射组予以2。25 mg/(kg·d)腹腔注射,1次/3 d;空白组、模型组分别以10 mL/(kg·d)生理盐水灌胃;给药疗程28 d。于第7、14、21、28天分4批处死大鼠,分离肺组织并计算肺指数。采用苏木素-伊红、马松染色观察大鼠肺组织的组织病理学;吉姆萨染色分析BALF中不同种类的炎症细胞;采用酶联免疫吸附测定法检测血清趋化因子配体2(CCL2)、转化生长因子β1(TGF-β1)的含量;蛋白免疫印迹法测定肺组织src、p-srcTry529、STAT3、p-STAT3Try705的蛋白表达;采用实时荧光定量聚合酶链式反应技术检测肺组织ASS1、src、STAT3的表达水平。结果 参七虫草组、吡非尼酮组和ADI腹腔注射组各时间点中性粒细胞、巨噬细胞、淋巴细胞均低于同一时间点的模型组(P<0。05)。在相同时间点,参七虫草组、吡非尼酮组和ADI腹腔注射组大鼠血清CCL2、TGF-β1水平均低于模型组(P<0。05)。参七虫草组、吡非尼酮组和ADI腹腔注射组的p-srcTry529、p-STAT3Try705蛋白表达水平及肺组织ASS1、src、STAT3 mRNA均低于同一时间点的模型组(P<0。05)。结论 参七虫草方可以缓解大鼠的肺纤维化程度,其机制可能通过调控ASS1/src/STAT3信号通路的活化从而缓解BLM大鼠肺纤维化的炎症反应。
Shenqi Chongcao Formula ameliorates inflammatory response in rats with pulmonary fibrosis by activating the ASS1/src/STAT3 signaling pathway
Objective To observe the effect of Shenqi Chongcao (SQCC) Formula on the ASS1/src/STAT3 signaling pathway in a rat model of lung fibrosis and explore its therapeutic mechanism. Methods A total of 120 male SD rats were divided equally into 5 groups, including a blank control group with saline treatment and 4 groups of rat models of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis induced by intratracheal instillation of bleomycin. One day after modeling, the rat models were treated with daily gavage of 10 mL/kg saline, SQCC decoction (0.423 g/kg), pirfenidone (10 mL/kg), or intraperitoneal injection of arginine deiminase (ADI; 2.25 mg/kg, every 3 days) for 28 days. After the treatments, the lung tissues of the rats were collected for calculating the lung/body weight ratio, observing histopathology using HE and Masson staining, and analyzing the inflammatory cells in BALF using Giemsa staining. Serum chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) levels were measured with ELISA. The protein expressions of src, p-srcTry529, STAT3, and p-STAT3Try705 and the mRNA expressions of ASS1, src and STAT3 in the lung tissues were detected using Western blotting and RT-qPCR. Results The neutrophil, macrophage and lymphocyte counts and serum levels of CCL2 and TGF-β1 were significantly lower in SQCC, pirfenidone and ADI treatment groups than in the model group at each time point of measurement (P<0.05). P-srcTry529 and p-STAT3Try705 protein expression levels and ASS1, src, and STAT3 mRNA in the lung tissues were also significantly lower in the 3 treatment groups than in the model group (P<0.05). Conclusion SQCC Formula can alleviate lung fibrosis in rats possibly by activating the ASS1/src/STAT3 signaling pathway in the lung tissues.
