  • LX2 cells were subcultured for 12 hours. After adherent growth for 12 hours, TGF ⁇ 1 was added to activate LX2 cells, TDF and TAF were added. After 24 hours, the cells were collected, total protein was extracted, and the expression of liver fibrosis-related genes was detected by Western blot.
  • LX2 cells were subcultured for 12 hours. After adherent growth for 12 hours, cells were added with different concentrations of TDF, TAF for 48 hours or TDF and TAF for LX2 cells for different time. The cells were harvested and total protein was extracted. Western blot was used to detect apoptosis. Factor expression changes. Apoptosis was detected by CCK-8 kit and flow cytometry.
  • TDF TDF is added to promote the recovery of activated LX2 cells to a resting state (as shown in A of Figure 10); after 48 hours of stimulation with different concentrations of TDF or after TDF treatment of LX2 cells for different time: promote LX2 Apoptosis (shown as B, C, D, E in Figure 10).
  • TAF:TAF is added to promote the recovery of activated LX2 cells to rest (as shown in A and B in Figure 11); after 48 hours of stimulation with different concentrations of TAF or after different time of TAF treatment of LX2 cells: Promote apoptosis of LX2 cells (shown as C, D, E, F in Figure 11).
  • TDF/TAF regulates liver fibrosis through TGF ⁇ /smad3 and NF- ⁇ B signaling pathways
  • LX2 cells were subcultured for 12 hours. After adherent growth for 12 hours, LX2 cells were treated with different concentrations of TDF and TAF for 48 hours. After adding TDF and TAF to LX2 cells for different time, total protein was extracted and TGF ⁇ /smad3 and NF were detected by Western blot. - ⁇ B changes in two classical fibrosis-related signaling pathways.
  • mice C57BL/6J male mice were intraperitoneally injected with CCl 4 to establish a model of liver fibrosis. After 1 month of modeling, low and high doses of TDF were administered for treatment. After 1 month of drug intervention, the mice were sacrificed. The expression of liver fibrosis-associated protein was detected by Western blot. The expression of collagen in CCl 4 model was increased. The expression of collagen in the TDF drug intervention group was significantly decreased (see Figure 14a).
  • mice C57BL/6J male mice were injected intraperitoneally with CCl 4 to establish a model of liver fibrosis. After 1 month of modeling, low, medium and high doses of TAF were administered. After 1 month of drug intervention, the mice were sacrificed. The results of RT-PCR showed that the expression of fibrosis-related genes in the CCl 4 liver fibrosis model group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group, indicating that the mouse fibrosis model was successfully established.
  • TDF low-dose group TDF high-dose group
  • TAF low-dose group TAF low-dose group
  • TAF middle-dose group TAF high-dose group
  • TAF high-dose group were the best (clinical) The best dosage for treating HIV and HBV).
  • the TDF and TAF groups were better than the positive control Anluo Huaxian Pills treatment group. This indicates that TDF and TAF inhibit liver stellate cell activation and inhibit liver fibrosis.
  • the optimal dose is TDF high dose group (50mg/kg) and TAF medium dose group (4.5mg/kg) (see Figure 15).
  • liver function showed that the levels of ALT and AST in the CCl 4 liver fibrosis model group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group, indicating that the liver function decreased after fibrosis in mice.
  • the levels of ALT and AST in the TDF low-dose group, the TDF high-dose group, the TAF low-dose group, the TAF middle-dose group, and the TAF high-dose group were lower than those in the model group, and the curative effect was better than that of the positive control Anluohuaxian pill treatment group. This indicates that TDF and TAF can improve CCl 4 induced liver damage (see Figure 16).
  • mice 80 NS5ATP9 knockout mice (KO-NS5ATP9) mice and 80 wild-type mice (WT) of the same age were divided into experimental group 40 and control group 40 .
  • 10 rats were sacrificed at the 2nd week, 4th week, 6th week, and 8th week. The blood was collected from the eyeball and centrifuged. The liver was partially fixed with formalin and some liquid nitrogen was frozen.
