Abstract

The dried roots or rhizomes of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge are commonly used in Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation. Salvianic acid A and salvianolic acid B are the main active water‑soluble compounds in Salvia miltiorrhiza solution. The present study investigated the protective effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza solution and its active compounds in H₂O₂‑induced cell damage of the human ovarian granulosa tumor cell line (KGN) in vitro, as well as its underlying mechanism. Cell viability was detected using a Cell Counting Kit‑8 assay. In addition, the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) and tumor necrosis factor‑α (TNF‑α) were measured. Western blotting was performed to detect the protein expression of cleaved caspase‑3 and caspase‑9. Furthermore, immunocytochemistry was used to detect the expression of TNF‑α. It was demonstrated that Salvia miltiorrhiza solution, salvianic acid A and salvianolic acid B did not affect the viability of KGN cells. Additionally, salvianic acid A and salvianolic acid B significantly reduced the H₂O₂‑induced increased MDA levels, and reversed the H₂O₂‑induced suppression of SOD and GSH activities in KGN cells (P<0.05). Treatment with Salvia miltiorrhiza solution, salvianic acid A and salvianolic acid B significantly reduced the overexpression of cleaved caspase‑3, cleaved caspase‑9 and TNF‑α compared with the H₂O₂‑treated group (P<0.05). Therefore, the present results indicated that Salvia miltiorrhiza solution and its main water‑soluble compounds, salvianic acid A and salvianolic acid B, ameliorated KGN cell damage induced by H₂O₂.
