Poria cocos Wolf is the main component of many Chinese medicinal combination drugs that have therapeutic effects on recurrent spontaneous abortion and that can maintain pregnancy until delivery. It was hypothesized that this herbal medicine can also prolong allograft survival after organ transplantation. Here,in an in vivo study,we report the anti-rejection effect of the ethanol extract of Poria cocos Wolf (EEPCW) in rats after cardiac allograft implantation. Methods Ten normal rats were healthy controls. Eighty rats receiving homologous heart transplants were divided into 4 groups of 20 rats each based on type of treatment: olive oil 8 ml·kg -1 ·d -1 ,EEPCW 25 mg·kg -1 ·d -1 , EEPCW 50 mg·kg -1 ·d -1 or cyclosporin A 5mg·kg -1 ·d -1 . Allograft survival was observed in 10 rats from each group. On the seventh day post transplantation,pathological lesions and percentages of CD_3 +,CD_4 +,and CD_8 + lymphocytes and the CD_4 +/CD_8 + ratio in peripheral blood were assessed in another 10 rats from each group and in 10 normal rats. Results The survival time of donor hearts in the two EEPCW groups was significantly prolonged,to (15.9±2.4) days and (30.0±0.0) days,respectively,compared with (6.7±0.8) days in the control group. Pathological lesions in the two EEPCW groups were also less severe,and the percentages of CD_3 +,CD_4 +,and CD_8 + lymphocytes and CD_4 +/CD_8 + ratio were significantly lower in the EEPCW groups. Conclusions Acute rejection of heart transplants and cellular immune reaction can be effectively suppressed using the EEPCW. Taking advantage of novel immunosuppressants derived from Chinese medicinal herbs used to treat abnormal pregnancy provides a hopeful road for future research and treatment in organ transplantation.展开更多
