Abstract:
In order to investigate the effects of different doses of Dahuang Zhechong pills on the ubiquitin proteasome pathway/nuclear factor-κB (UPP-NF-κB) in rats with atherosclerosis (AS), 58-week-old male Wistar rats were selected and randomly divided into the normal group, model group, control group, low-dose group, and high-dose group. The model group and the drug group are given intraperitoneal injections of vitamins, and the model group and the drug group are given a high-fat diet. Rats in the low-dose group and high-dose group are given low-dose and high-dose Dahuang Zhechong pill lavage solution, respectively. Besides, the control group is given simvastatin solution by gavage, and intervention is performed once a day for 12 weeks. Ubiquitin (Ub) protein expression, ubiquitin activase (UBE1), nuclear factor-κB, nuclear inhibitory factor-κB (IκB) gene expression, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) are compared. The experimental result shows that Dahuang Zhechong pills can reduce inflammation and prevent and treat AS by blocking the activation of the UPP/NF-κB signaling pathway and can be used as a proteasome inhibitor in the clinical treatment of AS.
