ABSTRACT |
Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the effects of Injinchunggan-tang(Yinchenqinggan-tang) on expression of angiogenic factors in HepG2 cells.
Materials and Methods : The mRNA expression levels and protein secretion levels of angiogenic factors were measured using quantitative RT-PCR, Western blot and ELISA assay respectively in Injinchunggan-tang-treated and untreated HepG2 cells.
Results: Injinchunggan-tang(Yinchenqinggan-tang) reduced mRNA expression levels and protein secretion levels of angiogenic factors, especially VEGF, bFGF and TGF-β1 in HepG2 cells.
Conclusion: Results indicate that Injinchunggan-tang (Yinchenqinggan-tang) inhibits expression of angiogenic factors in HepG2 cells. Further, results suggest that Injinchunggan-tang (Yinchenqinggan-tang) inhibits angiogenic effects in HCC. |
