| Objective:In this study,the BuYang HuanWu Secoction Lyophilized powder(BYHWD-LP)and BuYang HuanWu Decoction Containing Serum(BYHWD-CS)was used as the test drug.Human non-small cell lung cancer cells(A549)and human lung fibroblasts(HFL1)were used as test cells.To investigate the molecular mechanism of intervening HMGB1-induced pulmonary fibrosis with BYHWD-LP and to compare the effect of BYHWD-CS and BYHWD-LP on HMGB1-induced pulmonary fibrosis.Methods:1.To detect the effect of different concentrations of BYHWD-LP on the proliferation of HFL1 and A549 cells with MTT assayFirstly,BYHWD-LP was Prepared using a freezing technique and sealed at-20℃.Reconstituted with ultrapure water and stored at℃after high temperature sterilization while used.MTT was dissolved in PBS to a concentration of 5 mg/ml under light conditions,filtered and stored at-20℃until use.A549 cells andHFL1 cells were divided into six groups:blank control group and BYHWD-LP group(the final volume of BYHWD-LP was 5%,10%,15%,20%,25%).The cells were seeded in96-well P lates at 37℃,5%CO2,saturated humidity.When cells fusion reached80%-90%,they were grouped according to the loading table(three replicates per group).Add serum-free medium to the 96-well plate to make the final volume of each well 200ul and culture for 24 hours.Protect from light by adding MTT solution with10ul per well,then culture for 4 hours according to the above conditions.Carefully discard the supernatant when the time comes.Add 100μl DMSO to each well for 10minutes under light protection.The absorbance was measured with a microplate reader at a wavelength of 492 nm after mixing.2.To detect the effect of BYHWD-LP and BYHWD-CS on CDc42 in HFL1 and A549 cells stimulated by HMGB1 with Western blotA549 cells andHFL1 cells were seeded in a 6-well plate at a density of 1 x 10~5/ml with each volume being 1 ml.The cells were divided into eight groups:blank control group,HMGB1inductiongroup(100ng/ml),positivecontrolML141group(hereinafter referred to ML141group),BYHWD-LP pre-culture and then HMGB1 stimulation group(the final volume of BYHWD-LP was 5%,10%,15%),20%BYHWD-CS,20%blank serum group.When the degree of cell fusion in a 6-well plate was observed to be 80%to 90%,cells were dealed with groups and three replicates were used in each group.Add serum-free medium to each well so that the final volume of each well is 15%when we have completed the processes.Remove each group of cells to be extracted from the incubator after 24 hours and remove the culture solution and wash twice with pre-cooled PBS.Add the Cell lysate(RIPA)to the cell pellet with 200 ul per well,and lysed on ice for 5 minutes.Collect cells in centrifuge tubes with cell scraper then centrifuge.To detect the effect of BYHWD-LP and BYHWD-CS on CDc42 in HFL1 and A549 cells stimulated by HMGB1 with Western blot.3.To detect the effect of BYHWD-LP and BYHWD-CS onRAGE and TNF-αin HFL1 and A549 cells stimulated by HMGB1 with ELISACell culture and grouping are the same as Western blot.The cells were seeded in a 6-well plate at a density of 1×10~5/ml.Add BYHWD-LP,BYHWD-CS,HMGB1,blank serum,and culture medium were in groups after the cell fusion reached 80%and culture 24 hours.Remove the 6-well plate from the incubator and discard the supernatant.Assemble it in the centrifuge tube and centrifuge.To detect the effect of BYHWD-LP and BYHWD-CS on RAGE and TNF-αin HFL1 and A549 cells stimulated by HMGB1 with ELISA.Result:1.The effects
