Effects of Deduhonghua-7 powder and its main components on CCR1 and DNMT1 proteins in mice with liver fibrosis
Objective To elucidate the effect of Deduhonghua-7 powder and its main components on liver fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)by regulating chemokine receptor 1(CCR1)and DNA methyltransferase 1(DNMT1).Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into blank group,model group,Deduhonghua-7 powder group(0.75 g·kg-1 Deduhonghua-7 powder),Scabiosa Atropurea group(0.75 g·kg-1 Scabiosa Atropurea)and Luteolin-L,-H groups(0.02 and 0.04 g·kg-1 Luteolin,respectively).Except the blank group,the other groups were intrabitoneally injected with 10％CC14 olive oil solution to establish liver fibrosis model,and all groups were given 0.5％CMC-Na dissolved intragastric drug once a day for 4 weeks,and blood and liver tissues were collected after the last administration.The serum CCR1,DNMT1,α-smooth muscle actin(α-smA)and precollagen Ⅲ contents were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay;the CCR1,DNMT1,α-smA,Collagen Ⅰprotein expression were detected by Western blot.Result The contents of serum DNMT1 in blank group,model group,Deduhonghua-7 powder group,Luteotin-L,-H groups and Scabiosa Atropurea group were(4.56±0.69),(6.09±0.59),(5.21±0.33),(4.99±0.68),(5.03±0.45)and(5.17±0.61)pg·mL-1;the contents of CCR1 were(13.38±0.47),(11.20±0.73),(12.97±0.80),(12.89±0.75)(12.88±0.95)and(12.92±0.58)pg·mL-1;the contents of α-smA were(181.80±24.50),(281.30±26.60),(220.90±22.30),(193.70±16.10),(199.30±17.70)and(205.80±14.70)pg·mL-1;the contents of procollagen Ⅲ were(49.29±8.26),(77.56±8.61),(67.56±5.63),(55.47±7.07),(64.93±8.66)and(59.66±8.51)pg·mL-1;the relative expression levels of DNMT1 protein in liver tissues were 0.08±0.03,0.26±0.08,0.13±0.01,0.12±0.05,0.13±0.05 and 0.15±0.03;the CCR1 protein relative expression levels were 0.18±0.03,0.13±0.02,0.21±0.06,0.22±0.07,0.17±0.07 and 0.18±0.06;the α-smA protein relative expression levels were 0.03±0.01,0.27±0.11,0.09±0.05,0.12±0.08,0.09±0.07 and 0.11±0.07;the expression of Colagen Ⅰ protein were 0.09±0.04,0.65±0.22,0.28±0.12,0.26±0.19,0.30±0.22 and 0.25±0.12.The differences of above indicators between the model group and the blank group,between the Deduhonghua-7 powder group,Luteotin-L,-H groups,Scabiosa Atropurea group and the model group were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Luteotein is one of the pharmacodynamic substance bases of Deduhonghua-7 powder to alleviate liver fibrosis induced by CC14.It can inhibit or delay the formation of liver fibrosis through CCR1,DNMT1,α-smA and Collagen Ⅰ proteins.
