Abstract
Female C57BL/J mice with pulmonary fibrosis induced by injections of bleomycin (20 mg/kg intraperitoneally, 8 times for 4 weeks) were treated with a lignin derivative-based composition BP-C3 (80 mg/kg, daily intragastric administrations for 4 weeks). Bleomycin treatment increased the severity of pulmonary fibrosis (Ashcroft score increased from 1.43±0.20 to 4.17±0.48) and the percentage of α-SMA+ tissue (from 15.22±1.01 to 33.12±2.30%) and DNA-synthetizing nuclei (from 1.05±0.14 to 3.38±0.375). After treatment with BP-C3, we observed a tendency to a decrease in Ashcroft score (to 3.40±0.51) and a significant decrease in the percentage of α-SMA+ tissue to 24.30±1.70%; the percentage of DNA-synthetizing nuclei decreased to a lesser extent (to 3.03±0.22%). These results suggest that BP-C3 has a moderate antifibrotic activity.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine presents original peer reviewed research papers and brief reports on priority new research results in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, oncology, etc. Novel trends in science are covered in new sections of the journal - Biogerontology and Human Ecology - that first appeared in 2005.
World scientific interest in stem cells prompted inclusion into Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine a quarterly scientific journal Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine (a new Russian Academy of Medical Sciences publication since 2005). It publishes only original papers from the leading research institutions on molecular biology of stem and progenitor cells, stem cell as the basis of gene therapy, molecular language of cell-to-cell communication, cytokines, chemokines, growth and other factors, pilot projects on clinical use of stem and progenitor cells.
The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.
