ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effects of Jiawei Huzhang San (JWHZS) decoction on the expressions of the inflammatory factors monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) on experimental autoimmune prostatitis in rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twelve male Wistar rats were taken as normal controls, and models of experimental autoimmune prostatitis were established in another 60 by injection of SC purified prostate protein with FCA, and then divided into five groups to be treated with normal saline, indomethacin, high-dose JWHZS (0.445 g/kg), medium-dose JWHZS (0.223 g/kg) and low-dose JWHZS (0.089 g/kg), respectively. All the rats were sacrificed at 30 days after the treatment for detection of the mRNA and protein expressions of inflammatory factors by immunohistochemistry and fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In the high-, medium- and low-dose JWHZS groups, the mRNA expressions of MCP-1 (0.31 +/- 0.14, 0.49 +/- 0.21 and 0.62 +/- 0.28) and PDGF-BB (0.50 +/- 0.22, 0.54 +/- 0.17 and 0.71 +/- 0.29), and the protein expressions of MCP-1 (677 +/- 208, 725 +/- 311 and 1302 +/- 884) and PDGF-BB (1265 +/- 698, 1347 +/- 827 and 1655 +/- 812) were significantly lower than in the model control group (MCP-1 mRNA 1.12 +/- 0.43; MCP-1 protein 2201 +/- 934; PDGF-BB mRNA 1.14 +/- 0.51; PDGF-BB protein 2754 +/- 852) (P < 0.05). And JWHZS exhibited a significantly better activity at high and medium doses than at a low dose (P < 0.05). In the indomethacin control group, both the mRNA and protein expressions of MCP-1 (0.71 +/- 0.34 and 1824 +/- 1157) and PDGF-BB (1.08 +/- 0.37 and 2493 +/- 924) were markedly higher than in the JWHZS groups (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Down-regulation of the inflammatory factors MCP-1 and PDGF-BB may be the important molecular mechanism of JWHZS acting on experimental autoimmune prostatitis.</p>
