ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of Fangjifulingtang on preventing proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells and the expression of PAI-1, so as to provide experimental evidence for Fangjifulingtang to cure chronic kidney disease. Method Glomerular mesangial cells were cultured and TNF-? was used as a stimulation to make the cells proliferate. Then Fangjifulingtang was incubated together at different doses. Cell vitality were evaluated and qualified by MTT. Cell period were analysed by Flow CytoMeter (FCM). Secretion of PAI-1 expression was measured by ELISA. Results The proliferation of Glomerular mesangial cells was inhibited (P
