Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effects of three herb extracts on cell proliferation and collagen synthesis in cultured hu-man dermal fibroblasts. Methods:The human dermal fibroblasts were isolated and cultured with tissue explant culture technique. Im-munohistochemical staining was performed to observe vimentin in fibroblasts. The proliferation of fibroblasts was determined by MTT as-say. Hydroxyproline in the cultural medium was determined by a digestion method. Results:The cells were typical fibroblasts, and the immunohistochemistry staining of vimentin in the cells was positive. The three herb extracts could promote the proliferation of the fibro-blasts at appropriate concentrations in a time-dependent manner. After the 72-hour culture in the medium, 0. 312 5-5. 000 0 mg·ml-1 Aloe vera gel extract, 0. 156 3-2. 500 0 mg·ml-1 Bletilla striata extract and 0. 075 0 mg·ml-1 salvianolate showed significant effects on the proliferation of fibroblasts (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01 vs the blank group). Compared with that in the blank group, the amount of hydroxyproline in the three herb extracts cultural medium was also increased (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). The effect of salvianolate on the cell proliferation was closely related with time and concentration, and the high concentration group could inhibit the growth of fibroblasts as the extension of time. Conclusion:Aloe vera gel extract, bletilla striata extract and salvianolate can promote the proliferation of fi-broblasts and the production of hydroxyproline, which may contribute to the wound healing.
