초록

Objectives : This study was performed to investigate the anti-fibrogenic effect of Curcumae Longae Radix on human hepatic stellate cells. Materials and Methods: Hepatic stellate cells (LX-2) were treated with various concentrations of Curcumae Longae Radix extract for 24, 48, and 72 hours. It was extracted with distilled water. After the treatment, cell viability, proliferation, cell cycle analysis, procollagen levels and the mRNA of the ASMA, TIMPl, TIMP2, MMP2, collagen type la, PDGF-receptor-beta and TGF-beta were measured by using MTT assay, BrdU assay, RT-PCR, and procollagen type 1 C-peptide EIA kit. Results : The viability of HSCs decreased in the 48 hours group, and proliferation of HSCs decreased as the concentration increased. In the cell cycle analysis, Curcumae Longae Radix decreased the ratio of M phase, and increased the ratio of apoptosis, G0/G1 and S phase. In the RT-PCR, the mRNA expression of the collagen type la and ASMA decreased with the Curcumae Longae Radix treatment. The production of procollagen by the HSCs was decreased by the treatment of Curcumae Longae Radix with high dose. Conclusion : These results suggest that Curcumae Longae Radix is helpful in the treatment of liver fibrosis as well as liver cirrhosis.
