ABSTRACT.We investigated the effect of Jianpi Bushen prescription (JBP) on the expression of the SHP-1 and apoptosis-related genes in chemically damaged model mice and a compound e-jiao slurry (EJS) group (positive control). Kunming mice received an abdominal injection of 100 mg/kg cyclophosphamide once a day for 3 consecutive days to induce chemical damage. The mice underwent lavage at a suspension of 0.1 g/kg low-dose JBP (100%), high-dose JBP (200%), and 0.2 mL/10 g EJS twice a day for 9 days. mRNA and protein expression of SHP-1 in bone marrow mononuclear cells was detected using realtime polymerase chain reaction and Western blot; mRNA expression of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X (Bax) protein was detected by in situ hybridization. Expression of SHP-1 and Bax mRNA was significantly upregulated in the model group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Expression in the low-dose JBP, highdose JBP, and EJS groups was significantly downregulated compared with the model group (P < 0.05). The low-dose JBP group exhibited much lower SHP-1 and Bax mRNA expression levels. Compared with controls, Bcl-2 mRNA expression was significantly reduced in the model group (P < 0.05). Expression in the low-dose JBP, high-dose JBP, and EJS groups significantly increased compared with the model group (P < 0.05). The low-dose JBP group showed much higher Bcl-2 mRNA expression. Therefore, JBP regulates the expression of the SHP-1, Bax, and Bcl-2 genes in chemically damaged mice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
