Abstract EN
To examine how Jiang-Zhi-Ning (JZN) regulates cholesterol metabolism and compare the role of its four main components.
We established a beagle model of hyperlipidemia, fed with JZN extract and collected JZN-containing serum 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6 h later.
Human liver cells Bel-7402 were stimulated with 10% JZN-containing serum as well as the four main components of JZN and Atorvastatin.
The mRNA expression of LDL receptor (LDL-R), 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoAR), cytochrome P450 7A1 (CYP7A1), and acetyl-Coenzyme A acetyltransferase 2 (ACAT2) was measured by real-time PCR.
LDL-R surface expression and LDL-binding and internalization were examined by flow cytometry.
The results showed that JZN-containing serum significantly increased the mRNA expression of LDL-R, HMG-CoAR, and CYP7A1 in Bel-7402 cells.
All the four components significantly increased the mRNA and protein expression of LDL-R and HMG-CoAR and decreased the mRNA and protein expression of ACAT2 in Bel-7402 cells.
Hyperinand chrysophanol also markedly increased the mRNA expression of CYP7A1.
Stimulation with stilbene glycosidesignificantly increased the surface expression of LDL-R and the binding and internalization of LDL.
In conclusion, JZN and its four components have close relationship with the process of cholesterol metabolism, emphasizing their promising application as new drug candidates in the treatment of hyperlipidemia.
