Abstract
Objective. To explore the role of Huangqin Decoction in intestinal homeostasis maintenance and colon carcinogenesis based on “sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1)-cholesterol metabolism regulatory T cell (Treg) differentiation.” Methods. It was decided to utilize a total of 50 healthy Wistar rats for the study, 20 of which were chosen at random to serve as controls, and 30 of which were used to create an intestinal homeostasis imbalance model. It was determined whether or not the modeling was successful by killing 10 rats from each of the two groups. The remaining 10 rats in the normal group were then employed as the control group for the experiment. The random number table method was used to split the rats into two groups: the Huangqin Decoction (n = 10) and the Natural Recovery (n = 10) groups. For seven days, participants in the Huangqin Decoction group received the herb, whereas those in the natural healing group received normal saline. The relative density of SREBP1, the levels of cholesterol ester (CE), free cholesterol (FC), total cholesterol (TC), and Treg cells were detected and compared. Results. When compared to the control group, the relative density of SREBP1 increased significantly before administration in the Huangqin Decoction group and the natural recovery group, but decreased significantly after administration, with statistical significance (
) in the Huangqin Decoction group and the natural recovery group; the Huangqin Decoction group and natural recovery group had significantly higher levels of CE, FC, and TC than the control group before to administration, and these levels increased significantly after administration. CE, FC, and TC levels in Huangqin Decoction and natural recovery groups were much lower than those in natural recovery groups, and the difference was statistically significant (
), according to the results; Prior to administration, Treg cell levels in Huangqin Decoction group and the natural recovery group were significantly higher, and Treg cell levels in the Huangqin Decoction group and natural recovery group were significantly lower after administration; the decrease in the Huangqin Decoction group was significantly greater than that in natural recovery group.
indicated that the difference was significant. Conclusion. Using Huangqin Decoction, one may efficiently regulate SREBP1, cholesterol metabolism, and Treg cell development, all of which play an important role in maintaining intestinal stability and minimizing the incidence of colon cancer.
