Oxymatrine inhibits viral replication in HBV transgenic mice by regulating T lymphocyte subsets
To determine the inhibitory effect of oxymatrine on viral replication in HBV transgenic mice
and investigate whether this effect is associated with regulating T lymphocyte subsets.
Methods
2
Thirty-six SPF male HBV transgenic mice were randomly divided into model group
oxymatrine group and lamivudine group
with 12 rats in each group. Another 12 non-transgenic BALB/c mice served as control group. All rats were given corresponding drug treatment. Pathological changes of liver tissue were observed in each group
and the levels of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)
hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (HBV-DNA) in serum and liver
serum T lymphocyte subsets
and serum cytokine levels were detected.
Results
2
After treatment
the HBsAg and HBV-DNA levels in serum and liver were significantly lower in the oxymatrine group and lamivudine group than the model group (
P
<
0.05)
but there was no significant difference in t
he serum and liver levels between the oxymatrine group and lamivudine group (
P
>
0.05). Compared with the model control group
the proportions of CD3
+
and CD4
+
T lymphocytes and the ratio of CD4
+
/CD8
+
were obviously higher
while the proportion of CD8
+
T lymphocytes was quite lower in the oxymatrine group and lamivudine group
but the oxymatrine group had better above values than the lamivudine group (
P
<
0.05). What's more
the serum levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) were higher while that of interleukin-4 (IL-4) was lower in the oxymatrine group and lamivudine group than the model group
and the oxymatrine group also had better values (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Oxymatrine can effectively inhibit the levels of HBsAg and HBV-DNA in serum and liver tissue of HBV transgenic mice
which may be mediated by regulating the proportions of T lymphocyte subsets and the levels of Th1/Th2 cytokines
and improving the immune function.
