Abstract: Objective To investigate the influence of traditional Chinese medicine, Yiqihuoxue-Yangyinjiedu recipe, on transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in lung tissues of mice with radiation-induced lung injury, and to explore the effects and action mechanism of Yiqihuoxue-Yangyinjiedu recipe on preventing and treating radiation-induced lung injury. Methods Mice were randomly divided into control group (n=21), drug group (n=21), radiation group (n=21), and treatment group (radiation+drug, n=21). The latter two groups were irradiated at whole thorax with a dose of 12 Gy. The pathology of radiation-induced lung injury was monitored. The expressions of TGF-β1 and TNF-α were analyzed by RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry at 1, 24, 72 h and 2, 4, 8, 24 week post-irradiation. Results The results of histology demonstrated that Yiqihuoxue-Yangyinjiedu recipe treatment ameliorated radiation-induced lung injury. Expressions of TGF-β1, TNF-α mRNA and protein in radiation group were higher than those in control group and drug group (P<0.05). Except at 1 h and 24 h, expressions of TGF-β1 and TNF-α in treatment group at each time point were lower than those in radiation group (P<0.05). Conclusion Yiqihuoxue-Yangyinjiedu recipe can inhibit the expressions of TGF-β1 and TNF-α, and may play an important role in preventing and treating radiation-induced lung injury, which may be related to inhibit the expressions of TGF-β1 and TNF-α.
