- Abstract: Aim To explore the effects of Panax notog- inseng saponins( PNS) on hematopoietic functions anrl regulation on the TLR4/TLR2-NF-kB signaling path¬way in immune-mediated aplastic anemia ( AA ) C57 mice.Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divid¬ed into control group, total body irradiation group ( TBI) , model group, cyclosporine treatment group, PNS low-dose group, medium-dose group and high-dose group.The immune-mediated A A mice model was es¬tablished by total body irradiation with 5.0 Gy X-ray and mixed lymphocyte infusion.The body weight was measured, the spleen and thymus index was calculated , bone marrow pathology, the levels of peripheral blood triline cells,bone marrow nucleated cells( BMCs) and the levels of serum TNF-cx , 1L-2 , 1L-10 were detected, and the expression of CD1 lc and proteins related to the TLR4/TLR2-N F- k B pathway were detected 15 days later.Results Compared with control group, body weight, thymus index, the number of peripheral blood triline cells, BMCs and serum 1L-10 levels of the mice in model group significantly decreased ( P < 0.05 ) , while spleen index, the serum TNF-a, IL-2 levels and the protein expression of CD 11 c, TLR4, TLR2 , MvD88 , Akt and NF-kB in hone marrow significantly increased ( P <0.05).Compared with model group, after PNS treatment, hodv weight, thymus index, the number of peripheral blood triline cells, BMCs and serum IL-10 levels increased.Spleen index,serum TNF-cx,lL-2 lev¬els and the expression of CD11 c, TLR4, TLR2, NF-kB and Akt in bone marrow decreased, and the therapeutic effect was not dose-dependent.There was no signifi¬cant change in the expression of MvD88 and MAPK proteins.Conclusions PNS can improve AA bone marrow injury, regulate immune disoders and promote hematopoiesis, which may be related to the regulation of the number of DCs and the TLH4/TLH2 - Akt- NF-kB pathway in bone marrow.
