The present invention discloses the application of
Zanthoxylum bungeanum exosomes in the preparation of a
drug for preventing and / or treating
hepatic diseases, and specifically relates to the field of biomedical technologies. The application of
Zanthoxylum bungeanum exosomes in the preparation of a
drug for preventing and / or treating
hepatic diseases is based on the principle of inhibiting the proliferation, migration and
fibrosis indicators of hepatic stellate cells. For the
alcohol-induced
chemical injury liver fibrosis model in mice, intervention with
Zanthoxylum bungeanum exosomes can significantly improve the
pathological changes of
liver tissue, inhibit collagen deposition, reduce the number of lipid droplets in
liver tissue, and decrease the activities of serum AST and ALT, with significantly better effects than the non-
drug-administered model group. The present invention provides a drug containing
Zanthoxylum bungeanum exosomes or related
biological materials. Compared with traditional therapeutic drugs, this drug has the advantages of being easy to separate, easy to detect, rich in sources, high in safety, good in stability, and can also be used as a
drug delivery system to load targeted drugs, etc., thereby improving the treatment efficiency of
liver fibrosis diseases.
