Mechanism of total C-21 steroidal glucosides from root of Cynanchum auriculatum in activation of human hepatic stellate cells via TGF-β / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Aim To investigate the inhibitory effect of total C-21 steroidal glucosides (TCSG) from the root of Cynanchum auriculatum on activation of human hepatic stellate cells and the underlying mechanism. Methods The fibrosis model in vitro was established by treating LX-2 cells with TGF-β
