Xuanfei Pingchuan Capsules Ameliorate Autophagy in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells by Inhibiting p38 Phosphorylation
Background: This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of Xuanfei Pingchuan Capsules (XFPC) on autophagy and p38 phosphorylation in human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells induced by cigarette smoke extract (CSE).Methods: HBE cells were divided into five groups: blank, CSE, low XFPC dose (...

Fluorescence microscopy and the expression level of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3)-II in immunohistochemical method were used to observe autophagy in cells.

Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression of LC3-I, LC3-II and Beclin 1 on mRNA level.Results: Compared with the blank group, the cell viability of the CSE group was significantly decreased, and apoptosis and the level of autophagy in cells were significantly increased. The mRNA and protein expression of LC3-I, LC3-II, Beclin 1 and the protein level of p-p38 were significantly increased in the CSE-HBE cells. Compared to the CSE group, the different doses of XFPC medicated serum increased cell viability, decreased cell apoptosis, and inhibited mRNA and protein expression of LC3-I, LC3-II, Beclin 1 and protein level of p-p38.
