Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of ligustrazine on the intracellular translocation of Smad protein in HSC-T6 cell line.Methods HSC-T6 cell was cultured with ligustrazine at the dose of 10-5 mol/L in the culturing dish for 2 hours.After the culturing,the translocation of Smad-2 and Smad-4 proteins was detected by immunofluorescence assay.Results There was no evidence of the translocation of Smad-2 and Smad-4 proteins in HSC-T6 cell after the culturing.Conclusion Ligustrazine can block the signal pathway of TGF-?/Smad,which may be one of its important mechanisms of inhibiting the proliferation of HSC-TS cell.
