Enhancement of wound healing by taspine and its effect on fibroblast

Abstract: Objective To study the effect of taspine on enhancement of skin wound healing and its effect on fibroblast proliferation and autocrine. Methods The plerosis effect of taspine on experimental skin wound was observed in vivo. Different concentrations of taspine were added in vitro and MTT technique was applied to observe its effect on fibroblast proliferation, the levels of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-13P) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were determined by ELISA. Results In vivo, exo-applied taspine 300 microg and 150 microg accelerated the recovery of skin wound. In vitro, 0.50-0.4 microg/ml taspine could increase autocrine of TGF-beta1and EGF by fibroblast, but it showed no effect on L929 fibroblast proliferation. Conclusions Taspine enhances wound healing by increasing the autocrine of TGF-beta1 and EGF by fibroblast.

Effect of taspine on wound healing and fibroblast proliferation

Abstract: Objective To study the effect and mechanism of taspine on wound healing and fibroblast proliferation. Methods The effect of taspine on skin wound was observed in vivo. The different concentration of taspine hydrochloride was added to L929 fibroblast cultivated in vitro, and lactate dehydrogenase was detected and MTT method was applied to observe effect of taspine on fibroblast proliferation. Results The local application of taspine 3 mg/Ml and 1.5 mg/mL accelerated the healing of skin wounded. In vitro, 0.01～0.5 μg/mL of taspine hydrochloride showed no effect on the change of lactate dehydrogenase activity and fibroblast proliferation. Conclusion Taspine is a kind of active alkaloid from leontice robustum which can enhance wound healing, its mechanism on wound healing is not by means of accelerating the proliferation of fibroblast, other mechanisms are necessary for being further studied.
