Abstract
    [Objective] To observe the effect of several tradition Chinese medicines on the glucose and lipid metabolism-related genes of human hepatoma cell line Hep-G2,including cell angiopoietin-related growth factor(AGF),glucose-6-phosphatase(G-6-Pase),low density lipoprotein receptor(LDLR) and insulin receptor substrate-2(IRS-2). [Methods] The human hepatoma cell line Hep-G2 was cultured and the impaction of the components of Chinese medicine on AGF,G-6-Pase,LDLR and IRS-2 mRNA expression was detected by real time RT-PCR. [Results] Berberine can improve the AGF and LDLR mRNA expression,and curcumin can reduce the G-6-Pase mRNA expression of Hep-G2 cell line. [Conclusion] The berberine and curcumin have some certain therapeutic effect on diabetes through regulating the related genes with glucose and lipid metabolism.
