ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of artesunate on the expression of heat shock protein 47(Hsp47)in pulmonary fi-brosis in rats.Methods Thirty SD male rats were randomly divided into control group,model group and artesunate intervention group (intervention group).Rats in control group were intrachacheally instilled with saline (0.4 mL),while rats in other two groups 5 mg/kg bleomycin.Rats in both control group and model group were intraperitoneal injected with 1 mL saline per day sub-sequently.And the rats in intervented group were intraperitoneal injected with 10 mg/100 g artesunate per day.The body weight of day 0,day 14 and day 28 were recorded.All the rats were sacrificed on day 28.The pulmonary coefficient and the hydroxyproline content were observed.The expression of Hsp47mRNA and CollagenⅠmRNA were evaluated by RT-PCR.The Hsp47 expression was also detected by Western Blot.The pathological changes were analyzed by hamatoxylin-eosin (HE)stain and Masson stain.Re-sults (1)The body weight of control group grew much faster than other groups (P intervention group (8.54±0.67)mg/g>control group(4.81±0.38)mg/g (P control group (3.08±0.56),model group(5.70± 1.09)>intervention group (4.01 ± 1.25).There was no significant difference between control group and intervention group(P >0.05).(4)Hydroxyproline content:model group (620.33±66.16)μg/g>control group(379.00±35.51)μg/g,model group (620.33±66.16)μg/g >intervention group(429.00± 36.51)μg/g (P control group (P 0.05).CollagenⅠmRNA:model group > intervention group>control group (P <0.05).(6)Western blot showed that Hsp47 ex-pression of model group was the highest in all three groups.Conclusion These results indicate that artesunate might inhibit pulmo-nary fibrosis and depress CollagenⅠproduction,and it′s probably a result of Hsp47 down regulation.
