Objective: To explore the effect and mechanism of Chaihu Shugan powder(CHSGS) regulating Th17/Treg balance on liver function in mice with hepatitis B. Methods: We divided mice into control, hepatitis B virus(HBV) and HBV+CHSGS group.Each group has 15 mice. The hepatitis B model was established by HBV(1×106 mL, 30 mL·kg-1) infection. CHSGS(30 g·mL-1, 30 mL·kg-1) was intervened by intragastric administration. After 6 weeks, liver function, Th17 and Treg changes in liver mononuclear cells, and the expression of RORγ and FOXP3 proteins were detected. Results: Compared with the control group,alanine aminotransferase(ALT) [(85.24±17.03) U·L-1], aspartate aminotransferase(AST) [(315.39±37.61) U·L-1], Th17(5.22%±0.51%), Treg(9.96%±0.95%), Th17/Treg ratio(0.52±0.07), RORγ and FOXP3 proteins were all increased(P<0.05). ALT [(60.75±8.46) U·L-1], AST [(201.44±21.87) U·L-1], Th17(3.67%±0.37%), Th17/Treg ratio(0.26±0.04) and RORγ protein in HBV+CHSGS group were lower than those in the HBV group, while Treg(14.30%±1.13%) and FOXP3 proteins were higher than those in the HBV group(P<0.05). Conclusion: CHSGS can inhibit Th17 and promote the differentiation of Treg, so as to improve the abnormal Th17/Treg ratio caused by HBV, and regulate the immune inflammatory response to protect liver function of mice with HBV. |
