ABSTRACT
Xuebijing (XBJ) injection is a complex traditional Chinese prescription that has been widely used to treat sepsis in China. However, its underlying mechanisms on sepsis still remain uninvestigated. In this study, 150 male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal control group, cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group, CLP+XBJ group, and CLP+gibberellic acid group. Each of them contained 3 subgroups of different treatment periods (12, 24, and 48 hours after injection, respectively). The mRNA expression of HMGB1 in liver tissue of the 4 groups was calculated by the semiquantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. The level of IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Immunohistochemical analysis for HMGB1 showed the effect of XBJ on infiltration of inflammatory cells. The mRNA expression of HMGB1 in liver tissue in CLP+XBJ and CLP+gibberellic acid groups was lower than that in the CLP group. The levels of IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α were decreased at the each monitored time point. All these results indicated that XBJ exhibits protective efficacy on sepsis by inhibiting the expression of HMGB1.
