Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect and potential mechanism of 717 Jiedu decoction in ameliorating local tissue injury induced by Gloydius brevicaudus venom via regulating macrophage phenotype transformation.METHODS Rat blank-serum and drug-containing serum were prepared by intragastric administration of normal saline， tail-vein injection of anti- G. brevicaudus venom serum （0.6 mL per rat）， and intragastric administration of 717 Jiedu decoction at doses of 0.495， 0.99 and 1.98 g/kg （calculated as crude drug）. M0-type macrophages derived from human leukemia monocytic THP-1 cells induced and differentiated by PMA were divided into normal control group， model group， positive control group， and low-， medium- and high-concentration 717 Jiedu decoction drug-containing serum groups. Except for the normal control group， all other groups were treated with 10 μg/mL G. brevicaudus venom working solution and 10% blank or drug-containing serum. After the cultivation period， the cellular ultrastructural changes in each group were observed； the proportions of M1- and M2-type macrophages， as well as the mRNA and protein expression of macrophage phenotype transformation and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α） were detected.RESULTS Compared with the normal control group， cells in the model group presented ultrastructural injuries including mitochondrial swelling， cristae rupture and cytoplasmic vacuolization. The proportion of M1-type macrophages and the mRNA and protein expression levels of related phenotype transformation markers [inducible nitric oxide synthase， tumor necrosis factor-α， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， IL-1β] and HIF-1α were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05），whereas the proportion of M2-type macrophages and the mRNA and protein expression levels of related phenotype transformation markers （arginase-1， IL-10， mannose receptor C type 1 and chitinase-3-like protein 1） were significantly decreased （ P ＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， cellular ultrastructural injuries were obviously alleviated， and the above-mentioned indexes were significantly reversed in the high-concentration 717 Jiedu decoction drug-containing serum group （ P ＜0.05）.CONCLUSIONS717 Jiedu decoction can exert anti-inflammatory and tissue-repairing effects by regulating the balance of M1-， M2-type macrophages phenotype transformation and repairing cellular ultrastructural damage. Its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the excessive activation of the HIF-1α pathway.
