Effects of heparin on expression of collagen mRNA in rat lung fibroblast / 临床与实验病理学杂志

ABSTRACT

Purpose　To study the effect of heparin on expression of type collagen Ⅰ,ⅢmRNA in cultured fetal rat lung fibroblast (LFb). Methods　By using Northern blot method and immage analysis,the expression of collagenⅠ, Ⅲ mRNA were quantitatively analysed in the fibroblasts treated with different concentration heparin (0.1 mg/L, 1 mg/L, 10 mg/L, 100 mg/L)separately. Results　Heparin treatment at 0.1 mg/L,1 mg/L, 10 mg/L and did not influence the expression of collagen Ⅰ,Ⅲ mRNA，but the expression of collagen Ⅰ,Ⅲ mRNA were inhibited at 100 mg/L. Conclusion　Expression of collagen Ⅰ, ⅢmRNA is related to the concentration of heparin.
