[Effects of Buyang huanwu decoction on the release of vWF and the expression of tissue factor induced by tumor necrosis factor alpha in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells]

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Buyang huanwu decoction (BHD) on the release of von Willebrand factor(vWF) and the expression of tissue factor(TF) activity induced by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) in cultured bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs). METHODS: BAECs from neonatal cox were cultured and 4-8 passages were used. Cells were incubated for 8 hours after addition of different treatments. The supernatant was used to measure vWF and BAECs lysate to determine TF activity. RESULTS: 1. Compared with the control, TNF alpha enhanced the expression of TF activity(12.79 +/- 2.59 vs. 4.69 +/- 0.83, P
