Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the possible mechanisms underlying the effect of modified Xiaochaihu decoction (mXCHD) in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Patients with CHB, in addition to liver stagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome were randomly assigned to receive either Chinese (mXCHD) or western (entecavir) treatment, with 30 cases in each group. Serum was collected following treatment with mXCHD or entecavir for 7 days. A healthy group of 30 individuals was also included. HepG2.2.15 cells were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into four groups: Healthy; entecavir‑treated; 10% mXCHD‑treated; and 20% mXCHD‑treated. The HepG2.2.15 cells in the four groups were treated with either serum from the healthy volunteers, entecavir‑containing serum, or mXCHD‑containing serum at different concentrations (10 or 20%, respectively). Following treatment with the corresponding serum, cell proliferation was examined using an MTT assay, and the expression of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the cell supernatant was detected using an enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay. The mRNA and protein expression levels of Janus kinase (JAK)2 and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3 were measured using reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analyses, respectively. The results indicated that the most effective treatment for the promotion of HepG2.2.15 cell proliferation was a 20% concentration of mXCHD serum. The expression of HBsAg was significantly decreased in the groups treated with 10 and 20% mXCHD 48 h following intervention (P<0.01). The mRNA and protein expression levels of STAT3 in the 20% mXCHD serum group were significantly increased, compared with those in the healthy group (P<0.01 and P<0.05, respectively), whereas no significant difference was observed in the expression of JAK2 among the four groups. These results indicated that mXCHD suppressed the hepatitis B virus, and treatment of the cells with mXCHD‑containing serum promoted HepG2.2.15 cell proliferation via modulating the expression of STAT3, which may contribute to the clinical efficacy of mXCHD against CHB.
