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 real-time 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, high-dose 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.
