•Anti-DVH mechanisms of BSRPS and sBSRPS in vivo, firstly proved by intervention way.•Anti-oxidative and immuno-enhancement roles of the two drugs, proved by intervention.•Hinokitiol and FK506 were firstly used as interventions on duckling successfully.•The anti-oxidative and immuno-enhancement roles of BSRPS were important to treat DVH.•The formidable immuno-enhancement role of sBSRPS was important to treat DVH.
In our previous study, Bush Sophora Root polysaccharide (BSRPS) and its sulfate (sBSRPS) exhibited anti-duck virus hepatitis (DVH) abilities as well as anti-oxidative and immuno-enhancement effects. The aim of this paper was to ulteriorly investigate the exact anti-DVH mechanisms of BSRPS and sBSRPS by intervention experiments. Hinokitiol and FK506 were used as the pro-oxidant and immunosuppressant, respectively. The dynamic deaths, oxidative and immune evaluation indexes and hepatic pathological change scores were detected. When was intervened by hinokitiol, sBSRPS still possessed therapeutic effect while BSPRS was useless. Under the condition of immunosuppression, BSRPS lost a part role in treating DVH; however such a role of sBSRPS completely exhausted. These results suggested both anti-oxidative and immuno-enhancement effects of BSRPS played roles in healing DVH, and the former was more crucial; unlike BSRPS, only immuno-enhancement ability of sBSRPS was imperative for its curative effect on DVH.
