Effect of Kangxian Yixin Extract on collagen typeⅠand Ⅲ of mRNA in rats with dilated cardiomyopathy / 中成药

ABSTRACT

AIM:To explore the mechanisms of Kangxian Yixin Extract(Radix Codonopsis,Radix Astragali,Poria,Rhizoma Atractylodis macrocephalae,Radix et Rhizoma Salviae miltiorrhizae,Rhizoma Chuanxiong,Flos Carthami,Radix Paeoniae rubra,Herba Lycopi,Herba Leonuri) on ventricular remodeling after dilated cardiomyopathy. METHODS: Ventricular remodeling model was induced by giving Furazolidone in wistar rats for 8 weeks and survival rats were divided into 5 groups(14 rats each group) after another 8 weeks,all the rats were killed.The effects of Kangxian Yixin Extract on typeⅠand type Ⅲ collagen gene expression were determined with SP and RT-PCR methods. RESULTS: Collagen TypeⅠand Ⅲ of model group was significantly higher than that of normal group(P0.05),while higher than that of the low dosage of group(P
