Objective:To investigate the role of Tanshinol on RhoA/RockⅠsignaling parthway in Hepatic Stellate Cells.Methods:The mice of HSCs were isolated.After stimulation of FN
HCSs were cultured in vitro with Tanshinol(0.062 5~0.25 mmol/L)or Y-27632(30 μmol/L)
a specific RockⅠinibitor.The cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assay;the secretion of collagen Ⅰwere examined by methods of Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay;the protein levels of RhoA
p-Mlc(Thr18/Ser19)
and p-FAK(Tyr397) were analyzed by Western Blot.Results:FN promoted the proliferation of HSC significantly and provoked the secretion of collagenⅠmarkedly
meanwhile the protein levels of RhoA
p-Mlc(Thr18/Ser19)
and p-FAK(Tyr397) also increased.The interventions of Y-27632 and Tanshinol could inhibits the above effects in HSC distinctly.Conclusion:FN activates the RhoA/RockⅠsignal parthway and the intergin signal parthway in HSC;Interventing the RhoA/RockⅠsignal parthway might be involved with the effect of Tanshinol that inhibits the HSC proliferation and decreases the secretion of collagenⅠ.The down regulation of FAK by RockⅠis one of the anti-fibrosis mechanisms of Tanshinol.
