Abstract
    [Objective] To observe the effect of Buyang Huanwu decoction on the paracrine of cardiac fibroblasts MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TNF-α in mice with hypoxia and explore the molecular mechanism in protecting myocardial cells. [Methods] Culture cardiac fibroblasts of neonatal mice, divided into three groups: control group, model group, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) group, copied the anoxic model in condition of 5% CO2 + 94% N2 + 1% O2 for 24 h. MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TNF-α mRNA and protein expression were detected by RT-PCR and ELISA. [Results] Compared to control group, the mRNA and protein expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and TNF-α in model group were increased, while the TIMP-1's expression were induced. After Buyang Huanwu decoction intervention, the MMP-2, MMP-9 and TNF-α in TCM group were decreased, and the TIMP-1 was increased (P<0.05). While compared to model group TNF-α had no significant difference (P>0.05). [Conclusion] Buyang Huanwu decoction can reduce the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and increase TIMP-1 in hypoxic cardiac fibroblasts to protect myocardial cells, prevent and relieve the development of myofibrosis.
