AIM: To investigate the mechanism by which Qinggan Huoxue Recipe (QGHXR) inhibits
epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in rats with alcoholic liver fibrosis
(ALF). METHODS: A total of 75 male SD rats were used to induce ALF. Serum
biochemical indicators, including alanine aminotransferase, aspartate
aminotransferase, laminin and hyaluronidase, were measured. Liver
histopathological changes were evaluated using hematoxylin-eosin and Sirius red
staining. EMT was examined by analyzing the expression of the epithelial marker
E-cadherin and the mesenchymal markers vimentin and fibronectin using RT-PCR and
Western blot. The inhibitory effect of QGHXR on EMT markers, as well as its
effect on molecules associated with the transforming growth factor (TGF)-?1/Smad
signaling pathway, including TGF-?1, Smad3, snail, occludin, ZO-1 and claudin,
was also examined. RESULTS: Compared with normal control rats, ALF rats exhibited
a decrease in E-cadherin levels (mRNA: ALF 0.16 ± 0.05 vs control 1.00 ± 0.08;
protein: ALF 0.09 ± 0.05 vs control 0.70 ± 0.17, P < 0.01) and an increase in
vimentin and fibronectin levels (mRNA: 11.43 ± 0.39 vs 1.00 ± 0.19 and 9.91 ±
0.34 vs 1.00 ± 0.44, respectively, P < 0.01; protein: 1.13 ± 0.42 vs 0.09 ± 0.03
and 1.16 ± 0.43 vs 0.09 ± 0.00, respectively, P < 0.01). This indicates that EMT
occurred in ALF rats. In addition, the TGF-?1/Smad signaling pathway was
activated in ALF rats, as evidenced by the increase in TGF-?1 and snail levels
(mRNA: 1.76 ± 0.12 vs 1.00 ± 0.05 and 6.98 ± 0.41 vs 1.00 ± 0.10, respectively, P
< 0.01; protein: 1.43 ± 0.05 vs 0.12 ± 0.03 and 1.07 ± 0.29 vs 0.07 ± 0.02,
respectively, P < 0.01) and the decrease in Smad3 levels (mRNA: 0.05 ± 0.01 vs
1.00 ± 0.12, P < 0.01; protein: 0.06 ± 0.05 vs 0.89 ± 0.12, P < 0.01).
Furthermore, levels of the tight junction markers occludin, ZO-1 and claudin
decreased in ALF rats compared with healthy control rats (mRNA: 0.60 ± 0.09 vs
1.00 ± 0.12, 0.11 ± 0.00 vs 1.00 ± 0.12 and 0.60 ± 0.01 vs 1.00 ± 0.08,
respectively, P < 0.01; protein: 0.05 ± 0.01 vs 0.87 ± 0.40, 0.09 ± 0.05 vs 0.89
± 0.18 and 0.04 ± 0.03 vs 0.95 ± 0.21, respectively, P < 0.01). In ALF rats
treated with QGHXR, E-cadherin levels increased (mRNA: QGHXR 0.67 ± 0.04 vs ALF
model 0.16 ± 0.05, P < 0.01; protein: QGHXR 0.66 ± 0.21 vs ALF model 0.09 ± 0.05,
P < 0.01), and vimentin and fibronectin levels decreased (mRNA: 6.57 ± 1.05 vs
11.43 ± 0.39 and 1.45 ± 1.51 vs 9.91 ± 0.34, respectively, P < 0.01; protein:
0.09 ± 0.03 vs 1.13 ± 0.42 and 0.10 ± 0.01 vs 1.16 ± 0.43, respectively, P <
0.01). In addition, QGHXR inhibited the expression of TGF-?1 and increased the
expression of Smad3 (mRNA: 1.03 ± 0.11 vs 1.76 ± 0.12, 0.70 ± 0.10 vs 0.05 ±
0.01, respectively, P < 0.05 and P < 0.01; protein: 0.12 ± 0.03 vs 1.43 ± 0.05
and 0.88 ± 0.20 vs 0.06 ± 0.05, respectively, P < 0.01). QGHXR treatment also
reduced the levels of the EMT-inducing transcription factor snail (mRNA: 2.28 ±
0.33 vs 6.98 ± 0.41, P < 0.01; protein: 0.08 ± 0.02 vs 1.07 ± 0.29, P < 0.01) and
increased the occludin, ZO-1 and claudin levels (mRNA: 0.73 ± 0.05 vs 0.60 ±
0.09, 0.57 ± 0.04 vs 0.11 ± 0.00 and 0.68 ± 0.03 vs 0.60 ± 0.01, respectively, P
< 0.01, P < 0.01 and P < 0.05; protein: 0.92 ± 0.50 vs 0.05 ± 0.01, 0.94 ± 0.22
vs 0.09 ± 0.05 and 0.94 ± 0.29 vs 0.04 ± 0.03, respectively, P < 0.01). The
effects of QGR and HXR on the TGF-?1/Smad signaling pathway were similar to that
of QGHXR; however, the QGR- and HXR-induced changes in vimentin mRNA levels, the
QGR-induced changes in fibronectin mRNA levels and the HXR-induced changes in
snail and TGF-?1 mRNA levels were not significant. CONCLUSION: Qinggan Huoxue
Recipe inhibits EMT in ALF rats by modulating the TGF-?1/Smad signaling pathway,
suggesting that the mechanism underlying the amelioration of ALF induced by QGHXR
is associated with this pathway.
