Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of Radix Ranuncoli Ternati on the expression of granule lytic peptide and bactericidal ability of T lymphocyte in peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. METHODS: Peripheral blood lymphocytes were treated with Ranunculus. MTT assay was used to detect cell proliferation. Real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA level of GLS in patients. RESULTS: Radix Ranuncoli Ternati could enhance expression of Tubercle bacillus. The RESULTS of MTT assay indicated that the rate of peripheral blood lymphocytes apoptosis inducted by the Radix Ranuncoli Ternat. The Western blotting RESULTS showed that Radix Ranuncoli Ternati made the expression levels of GLS in peripheral blood lymphocyte increasing. When the concentration of the drug is 200 mg·L-1, it can effectively induce the activation of tuberculosis resting bacteria. The expression of GLS and the level of mRNA were increased in peripheral blood lymphocytes. CONCLUSION: Radix Ranuncoli Ternati may increase the expression of GLS and enhance the body's killing effect on pathogenic bacteria to achieve the therapeutic effect.
