Anti-HSV-2 activiy of the water frction of Styela plicataMTT assay was applied to investigate anti-HSV-2 activiy of the water frction of Styela plicata. The results displayed the absorbance values of the water frction of Styela plicata groups had significant difference compared to that of HSV-2 control group (P<0.01, P<0.05). The inhibition ratio of the water frction of Styela plicata on HSV-2 were 91.43% and 77.14% at 2 and 1mg/ml concentraion, respectively, it’s value of EC50 was 0.67mg/ml, The value of TI was 14.93. The results indicated the water frction of the Styela plicata could inhibit HSV-2. 17. The effect of the water fraction of Styela plicata on multiplication of HSV-2MTT assay was applied to investigate the effect of the water fraction of Styela plicata on multiplication of HSV-2. The results displayed the absorbance values of the water frction of Styela plicata groups had not significant difference compared to that of HSV-2 the control group (P>0.05). The inhibition ratio of the water fraction of Styela plicata on HSV-2 was calculated. The inhibition ratio of the water fraction of Styela plicata on HSV-2 was 82.98% at 2mg/ml concentraion, EC50=0.49mg/ml, TI>20.41, which indicated the water fraction of Styela plicata had good effect on multiplication of HSV-2.18. The direct lethal effect of the water fraction of Styela plicata on HSV-2MTT assay was applied to investigate the direct lethal effect of the water fraction of Styela plicata on HSV-2. The inhibition ratio of the water fraction of Styela plicata on HSV-2 was calculated. The results displayed the absorbance values of the water frction of Styela plicata groups were not significantly difference compared to that of HSV-2 control group (P>0.05). The inhibition ratio of the water fraction of Styela plicata on HSV-2 were 74.29% and 60.00% at 2 and 1 mg/ml concentraion, respectively, EC50=0.80mg/ml, TI> 12.50, which indicated the water frction of Styela plicata had good direct lethal effect on HSV-2.19. The effect of the water fraction of Styela plicata on adsorbtion of HSV-2MTT assay was applied to investigate the effect of the water fraction of Styela plicata on adsorbtion of HSV-2. The inhibition ratio of the water fraction of Styela plicata on HSV-2 was calculated. The results displayed the absorbance values of the water frction of Styela plicata groups had not significant difference compared to that of HSV-2 control group (P>0.05). The inhibition ratio of the water fraction of Styela plicata on HSV-2 was 19.23% at 2mg/ml concentraion, which indicated the water fraction of Styela plicata could not inhibit HSV-2 invase into host cell. Conclusions1. Styela plicata can inhibit the replication of HSV-2 in vitro.2. Styela plicata can directly kill HSV-2 and can ininhibit the biosynthesis of HSV-2, but can not inhibit HSV-2 invade into host cell.3. Styela plicata can interrupt HSV-2 DNA chain replicate. One of its target is to interrupt HSV-2 DNA polymerases gene (UL30) expression.4. Styela plicata has good therapeutical effect on genital herpes.5. Styela plicata can increase the percentage of T cell subgroup in the blood of mice infected with HSV-2 in vagina, and can regulate the balance of T cell subgroups. Styela plicata can elevate the concentration of Th cell cytokine of the mice infectec with HSV-2 in vagina, can regulate and improve immunological function of the mice. These may be other mechanisms of action of Styela plicata on genital herpes.6. The water fraction of Styela plicata can inhibit HSV-2, but n-butanol fraction and chloroform fraction can not inhibit HSV-2.更多还原
