Abstract: Objective To study the effects of endothelin-1 and its receptor antagonists on the expression of collagen-1 mRNA in HSC-T6 cells. Methods RT-PCR analysis was used in the research. Results The expression of collagen-1 mRNA in ET-1 and ET-1+BQ-123 group was significantly higher than that of control group (0.706±0.027 and 0.724±0.059 vs 0.400±0.047, P<0.05). The expression in ET-1+BQ-788 group and ET-1+BQ-123+BQ-788 group was significantly lower than ET-1 group (0.427±0.131 and 0.382±0.022 vs 0.706±0.027, P<0.05). Conclusion ET-1 can induce high expression of collagen-1 mRNA in HSC. BQ-788, and the selective ETB receptor antagonist, can inhibit high expression of collagen-1 mRNA in HSC-T6 induced by ET-1.
