Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the influence of Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction ( XZD) contained Drug-Serum on the expression of TLR4/NF-κB signals and LOX-1, TNF-α, ICAM-1, VCAM-1 in HUVECs, and to study its possible anti-atherosclerotic mechanism.Methods:HUVECs was cultured in vitro and divided equally into the normal group ,the model group,the ATV group and the XZD group in random.HUVECs were stimulated with LPS for 2 h,then treated separately with the drug-serum and atorvastatin for 24 h,finally measured the expression of TLR 4, MyD88, TRAF-6, NF-κB, LOX-1, TNF-α, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 mRNA with real-time PCR,the expression of TLR4,NF-κB,LOX-1,TNF-α,ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 protein were analyzed by Western blot method .Results:Protein and mRNA expressions of TLR4,MyD88,TRAF-6,NF-κB,LOX-1,TNF-α,ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 increased significantly after LPS stimulation(vs normal control group,P<0.01),Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction decreased the high expression of TLR 4,MyD88,TRAF-6, NF-κB,LOX-1,TNF-α,ICAM-1 and VCAM-1(vs model group,P<0.05 ).Conclusion:Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction can block the high ex-pression of TLR4 and its downstream signal transduction pathway and the high expression of LOX -1, TNF-α, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1.Maybe it′s the mechanism of Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction exert the function of anti-artherosclerosis.
