Methods Synthetic sirna targeting β-arrestin2 was transfected into HSC-T6 cells by lipofectamine package. Negative sirna transfection and no transfection were used as negative and blank controlrespectively. After incubation with sirnatotal RNA and protein of HSC-T6 cells were extracted. The expression of β-arrestin2 gene and protein was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction RT-PCR and Western blotting. HSC-T6 apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. The expression of Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot. Results After HSC-T6 cells were transfected with β-arrestin2 sirna the level of β-arrestin2 mrna and protein expression was decresed by 70% ± 1. 76% P < 0. 01 and 68. 43% ± 2. 88% P < 0. 01 as compared with the control group. Bcl-2 expression was also inhibited by 32. 58% ± 3. 46% P < 0. 01 while Bax expression was increased by 38. 00% ± 3. 72% P < 0. 01. The apoptosis rate of HSC-T6 transfected with β-arrestin2 sir- NA was 37. 5% which was significantly higher than control. Conclusion Inhibition of β-arrestin2 by sir- NA may have a potential effect on prevention and treatment of hepatic fibrosis by promoting apoptosis of HSC.
