Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Chinese medicines using the warming Yang and removing blood stasis method on levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)/tissue inhibitor metalloproteinases (TIMPs) secreted by cultured endometrial cells from patients with endometriosis.
METHODS: Ectopic and eutopic endometrial cells obtaind from 15 endometriosis patients were cultured in vitro, and divided randomly into five groups: high dose; moderate dose; low dose; nemestran; blank control. The three dose groups were treated with a decoction prepared according to the principle of warming Yang and removing blood stasis; nemestran and 0.9% NaCl were administered to the nemestran group and balnk control group, respectively. Eutopic endometrial cells obtaind from 10 hysteromyoma patients were cultured in vitro, as the normal control group, 0.9% NaCl were administered to the normal control group. Cell culture supernatants were collected and levels of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) detected by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA).
RESULTS: Compared with the normal control group, levels of MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 in eutopic and ectopic endometrium cell supernatants in the blank control group were increased, whereas levels of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 were decreased (P < 0.05). Compared with the blank control group, levels of MMP-1 and MMP-2 in ectopic and eutopic endometrium cell supernatants cultured in low-dose, middle-dose, and high-dose groups were decreased, whereas levels of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 were increased significantly (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The warming Yang and removing blood stasis method affects expression of MMPs and TIMPs.
