From the intestinal tight junction and adherens junction pathway to explore mechanism research of Rouganguchang Decoction on improving chronic alcoholic liver injury and intestinal permeability changes. Methods: The rats were given Lieber-Decarli liquid diet daily for 6 weeks to duplicate the alcoholic liver injury model. Thirty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into control liquid diet, control group (control group, n = 10) and ethanol liquid diet model group (n = 20). Model rats were randomly divided into the model group (n = 10), Rouganguchang Decoction group (n = 10) the fourth weeks. The rats were given decoction or distilled water from the fourth week to the sixth weekend. Each rat was given 10mg/kg endotoxin (LPS) by gavage 3.5h before being sacrificed. The following indexes were detected: 1)The ALT、AST activity of serum were detected by biochemical method; 2)LPS content in the portal blood was detected by biochemical method; 3)Pathological changes in intestinal tissues were observed by electron microscope; 4)The protein and mRNA expresses of ZO-1 and Occludin were detected by Western blotting and real-time PCR respectively; 5)The protein of beta-Catenin and E-Cadherin were detected by Western blotting. Results:1) Compared with that of the model group rats, the activity of AST in drug group decreased significantly (P<0.05); 2) The plasma endotoxin levels of Rouganguchang Decoction decreased significantly compared with that of the model group rats; 3) Rouganguchang Decoction could improve the intestinal mucosa connection structure of the surface epithelial cells of model rats; 4) Compared with those of the model group rats, the protein and mRNA expressions of ZO-1 and occludin, as well as the protein expressions of beta-Catenin and E-Cadherin all increased. Conclusion: Rouganguchang Decoction can significantly improve chronic alcoholic liver injury and intestinal permeability changes, the mechanism of that was related to protection of intestinal epithelial tight junctions and adhesion junctions.
