Objective:To investigate the molecular mechanism of Xiaoshuantongmai Decoction(XSTMD)targeting JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway to regulate the function of dendritic cells(DCs)in treatment of deep vein thrombosis(DVT).Methods:After treatment of DVT with XSTMD,expressions of fibrinogen beta chain(FGB)and D-dimer(D2D)protein in plasma of patients with DVT were detected by ELISA,proportion of plasmacytoid dendritic cell(pDC)and conventional dendritic cell(cDC),and expression of HLA-DR protein in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)of patients with DVT were detected by flow cytometry,expressions of CD80 and CD86 mRNA were detected by qRT-PCR,Western blot was used to detect protein levels of JAK2,STAT3 and phosphory-lation(p-JAK2 and p-STAT3)in PBMC of DVT patients and mice.LPS-induced mouse DC2.4 cells were treated with XSTMD drug-containing serum.Western blot was used to determine the protein levels of JAK2,STAT3,p-JAK2 and p-STAT3.ELISA was used to detect protein levels of IL-6,TNF-α,IL-10 and TGF-β1 in cell culture supernatant.Results:After treatment with XSTMD,weight and length of thrombus were significantly reduced in mice with DVT(P<0.001).Compared with before treatment,expressions of FGB and D2D were significantly decreased in plasma of DVT patients(P<0.001),proportion of pDC was significantly increased,while pro-portion of cDC was significantly decreased in PBMC of DVT patients(P<0.01),expression of HLA-DR protein and mRNA levels of CD80 and CD86 were significantly decreased in PBMC of DVT patients(P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001)after treatment with XSTMD.Levels of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 protein were significantly increased in PBMC from DVT patients and mice treated with XSTMD(P<0.05).After treatment with serum containing XSTMD,protein levels of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 induced by LPS were significantly increased in murine DC2.4 cells(P<0.05).Protein expressions of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly decreased,while protein expressions of IL-10 and TGF-β1 were significantly increased in cell supernatant(P<0.01,P<0.001).Conclusion:XSTMD effectively treats DVT by pre-cisely regulating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway to promote the differentiation of DCs into pDC and alleviate inflammatory injury.

Purpose The regeneration effects of nerve growth factor(NGF)on superior cervical ganglia innewborn mice destroyed by vincristine(VCR)and peroneal nerve of adult rats destroyed by grip were studiedby morphological methods. Methods Superior cervical ganglia. The Qunming newborn mice at 2 dayswere divided into 3 groups: experiment, control and blank. The experiment animals were injected with VCR,10 μl/g of body weight at a concentration of 0.02 mmol/L. Simultaneously, the NGF was injected 2,5,10μg/g of body weight, respectively. But the control animals were only injected with VCR at the same dose.The blank control animals weren' t treated anything. All of these chemicals were injected once a day for 4days. 24h after the last injection, the superior cervical ganglia were dissected out and analyzed their size andmorphology. Peripheral nerve. The peroneal nerve of SD adult rats were destroyed by grip, and divided into2 groups: experiment and control. The experiment rats were injected with NGF 2,4 and 8 μg/kg of bodyweight respectively, near the gripped nerve,once a day for 12 days after 24 h of the injury. 24 h after the lastinjection, the perone al nerve and extensor longus digitorum were dissected out and analyzed their morphologyand counted the number of nerve fiber at proximal and distal injury. Results VCR injection in newbommice produced severe atrophy of superior cervical ganglia. And the neuronal cells apoptosed and decomposed.Simultaneous injections of NGF prevented the noxious effects of VCR, and resulted in an increase intransverse diameter from 61 to 95 percent and the total number of neuronal cells from 59 to 70 percent. Thisimproved degree was related to the dose of NGF. Furthermore, NGF obviously improved the structure of peroneal nerve and extensor longus digitorum. And this effect was the best in the high dosage. ConclusionsNerve growth factor has an obvious regeneration effects in superior cervical ganglia of newborn mice destroyed by VCR and peroneal nerve of rat destroyed by grip.
