[Abstract]
Objective To investigate the in vivo and in vitro anti pulmonary fibrosis effects of Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) and preliminarily explore its pharmacological mechanism. Methods Totally 60 Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham-surgery group, model group, pirfenidone (positive drug, 50 mg·kg?1) group, and PNS (50, 100, and 200 mg·kg?1) group. A pulmonary fibrosis rat model was established by tracheal injection of bleomycin (5 mg·kg?1), physiological saline were injected into rats in shamsurgery group. After 24 hours, the treatment group was given corresponding drugs once a day for 28 d. The lung coefficient of rats were detected, the BUXCO system was used to detect changes in airway resistance and lung compliance, pathological structural damage of rat lung tissue was observe after HE staining, the expression of E-cadherin (E-cad) and N-cadherin (N-cad) in rat lung tissue were detected using immunofluorescence method, and the expression of tissue protease activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) protein in rat lung tissue were detected using immunohistochemistry method. Meanwhile, human embryonic lung fibroblasts MRC-5 were cultured in vitro, with control group, model group (thrombin 2 U·mL?1 to establish a pulmonary fibrosis model) and PNS 5, 10, and 20 μg·mL?1 group were set up, in vitro scratch assay to detect cell migration rate, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRTPCR) and Western blotting assay were used to detect the expression levels of α -smooth muscle actin (α -SMA), Vim, and PAR-1 genes and proteins. Subsequently, after inhibiting PAR-1 expression using PAR-1 si-RNA, qRT-PCR and Western blotting were further used for detection α- SMA and Vim gene and protein expression. Results In vivo experiments, compared with model group, the lung index of the 50, 100, and 200 mL·kg?1 PNS groups decreased (P < 0.001), the lung compliance of the 50, 100 and 200 mg·kg?1 PNS groups significantly increased (P < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001), while the airway resistance of rats in the 100 and 200 mg·kg?1 PNS groups significantly decreased (P < 0.05, 0.01). PNS improved the pathological structural damage of rat lung tissue, downregulated the protein expression of N-cad, upregulated the protein expression of E-cad, and the expression of PAR-1 protein in the 100 and 200 mg·kg?1 PNS groups were significantly downregulated (P < 0.05, 0.01). In vitro experiments, compared with the model group, the migration rate of 10 and 20 μg·mL?1 PNS group cells was significantly reduced (P < 0.01, 0.001), α-SMA and Vim mRNA levels in 20 μg·mL?1 PNS group were downregulated (P < 0.05, 0.01), the α-SMA protein expression level in 20 μg·mL?1 PNS group was significantly downregulated (P < 0.05), while the Vim protein expression level in the 10 and 20 μg·mL-1 PNS group was significantly downregulated (P < 0.05, 0.01), the expression levels of α-SMA mRNA and SMA and Vim proteins were significantly reduced (P < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001). Conclusion PNS have anti-pulmonary fibrosis effects, and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of PAR-1.
