摘要:Objective: To compare in vitro hemolytic effect of Paris polyphylla var. chinensis (PPC) and P. polyhoylla var. yunnanensis (PPY) extract and to explore hemolytic property of various subtypes of steroidal saponins from Paridis Rhizoma. Method: The rhizoma of PPC or PPY was extracted with 75% ethanol.The extract was subjected to chromatography on HPD100 macroporous resin to give fractions of PPC(Y)-A-E. The sub-fractions of PPC(Y)-D-F, PPC(Y)-D-P and PPC(Y)-D-D were obtained by flash chromatography.The chemical profiles of these extract,fractions and sub-fractions were analyzed by HPLC and the main chromatographic peaks were identified on the basis of the comparison of reference substances and on-line ultraviolet spectra.The hemolytic effect of these samples against the rabbit red blood cells were determined by UV-VIS. Result: The hemolytic curves of PPC and PPY were obtained by plotting the hemolytic effect against the corresponding concentrations and the concentrations up to 50% hemolytic rate were calculated as 34.97,46.52 mg·L-1,respectively.Among fractions of PPC-A-E,PPC-D displayed the potent hemolytic effect at concentrations from 2.5-10 mg·L-1.For fractions of PPY-A-E,both PPY-D and PPY-E showed hemolytic effect at the same tested concentrations.The hemolytic rates of PPC-D at the concentration of 5.0,10 mg·L-1 were 78.00% and 95.68%,whereas PPY-D and PPY-E had the hemolytic rates of 31.86% and 63.29% as well as 15.82% and 55.25%.For the sub-fractions from PPC,furostanol saponins and dioscin saponins had no hemolytic effect,while pennogenin saponins took on the hemolytic rates of 5.89% and 90.33% at the concentration of 2.5,5.0 mg·L-1.For the sub-fractions from PPY,furostanol saponins display similar result as that of furostanol saponins from PPC,whereas pennogenin and dioscin saponins were observed at concentration of 2.5,5.0 mg·L-1 with the hemolytic rates of 0.51% and 57.75% as well as 4.29% and 49.39%,respectively. Conclusion: It is found that both PPC and PPY have hemolytic effects,and PPC is stronger than PPY.The hemolytic effect of PPC is related to its main constituents(pennogenin saponins) and that of PPY is due to the conjunction of pennogenin and dioscin saponins.The furostanol saponins from both plants have no hemolytic effect.The hemolytic level of PPC or PPY is determined according to the absolute and relative amounts of pennogenin and dioscin saponins in the extract.

摘要:Objective: To study the protective effect of gastrodin on primary cortical neurons damaged by oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R), and the impact on expression of inflammation-related signaling pathway. Method: The primary cortical neurons of rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, and high, middle and low-dose gastrodin (80,60,40 mg·L-1).The OGD/R damage model was built by oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion.The survival rate of nerve cells was determinated by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphengl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide(MTT) method, and the leakage rate of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was measured by colorimetric method, high-throughput RNA-Seq transcriptome sequencing analysis was used to detect the differential expressions of all genes in the treated cells, and the OGD/R damage or protection-related genes or/and metabolic pathways were screened by functional annotation and enrichment analysis. Result: The activity of cortical cells decreased and the release of LDH increased after OGD/R, while gastrodin pretreatment increased cell viability and significantly lowered the LDH leakage rate.The sequence analysis revealed that the molecular mechanism mainly involved the inhibition of NF-kappa B signaling pathway (NF-κB, 18 gene), and tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway (TNF, 21 gene).Compared with the model group, gastrodin inhibited expressions of NF-κB, Toll like receptor 2 (TLR2), tumor necrosis factor receptor 1/2 (TNFR1/2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP-10), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (CCL2/MCP-1), CXC-chemokine 1/2/3 (CXCL1/2/3), CXC-chemokine 9(CXCL9/Mig), and other inflammatory signaling molecules. Conclusion: Gastrodin has a protective effect on the cortical neurons of rats after oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion, and its mechanism is mainly related to the inhibition of TLR-NF-κB-TNF inflammatory cascade-related signaling pathways.

摘要:Objective: To explore the effect of baicalin zinc (HBZn) in repairing BNB in mice by alleviating anti-oxidative stress and activating hematogenous factors in optic nerve injury. Method: A model of optic nerve injury in mice was established by unilateral interlocking carotid artery, and the mice were divided into 7 groups, namely ischemia group, sham operated group, HBZn group (3.75, 6.5, 13 mg·kg-1), HB group, and zinc gluconate group. Each group was administered by gavage for 5 days before operation. Optic nerve crush injury was made on every group, except for sham group. Mitochondrias were observed under electron microscope; superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) of plasma were measured by colorimetric. The expressions of immunoglobulin G(IgG), Fibriogen and matrix metallo protein9(MMP-9) were detected by Western blot. MMPs/TIMPs were detected by qPCR. Result: HBZn can effectively prevent the injury of mitochondria, reduce the concentrations of MDA and MPO, increase the concentration of SOD, compared with HB group and znic gluconate group (P < 0.05). HBZn can reduce the expressions of IgG, Fibriogen and MMP-9 more effectively than ischemia group, suppress the expression of the MMPs family and adjust the balance of MMPs/TIMPs. Conclusion: HBZn can protect the optic nerve injury in mice, and its mechanism may be correlated with the ability to resist oxidative stress and the activating MMP-9, IgG and Fibriogen. HBZn has better anti-oxidative and repairing abilities than monomer baicalin and trace element zinc.

摘要:Objective: To examine the effect of Tianma Gouteng Yin-containing serum on 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+)-induced apoptosis of PC12 cells, and explore the neuroprotective effect of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway. Method: A total of 32 male SD rats were randomly divided into control group and high, middle and low-dose Tianma Gouteng Yin-containing serum groups (22.8, 11.4, 5.7 g·kg-1). The rats were intragastrically given Tianma Gouteng Yin to prepare Tianma Gouteng Yin-containing serum. The control group was given the same volume of normal saline. The proliferation of PC12 cells was cultured and divided into the blank group, the model group, and high, middle and low-dose Tianma Gouteng Yin-containing serum groups. The blank group and the model group were given blank serum, while the other three groups were given 10% Tianma Gouteng Yin-containing serum incubated for 30 min. The model group and Tianma Gouteng Yin-containing serum groups were additionally given 500 μmol·L-1 MPP+ and co-cultured for 48 h. The cell viability was measured by Cell Titer 96° Aoueous MTS Reagent powder (MTS). The follow-up experiment was divided into five groups, namely blank group, MPP+ group, MPP++high-dose Tianma Gouteng Yin-containing serum group, MPP++SP600125 group, and MPP++SP600125+high-dose Tianma Gouteng Yin-containing serum group. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. Cysteine aspartate protease-3 (Caspase-3) activity was detected by spectrophotometry. The expressions of JNK, p-JNK, c-Jun, p-c-Jun protein were detected by Western blot. Result: Compared with the blank control, cell viability was significantly decreased in the model group (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, cell viability was significantly increased in high, middle and low-dose Tianma Gouteng Yin-containing serum groups (P < 0.05). In the follow-up experiment, compared with blank control, apoptosis, Caspase-3 activity, and expressions of p-JNK and p-c-Jun protein were significantly increased in the MPP+ group (P < 0.05). Compared with the MPP+ group, poptosis, Caspase-3 activity, and expressions of p-JNK and p-c-Jun protein were significantly decreased in the MPP++high-dose Tianma Gouteng Yin-containing serum group and MPP++SP600125 group (P < 0.05). Co-treatment with SP600125 and high-dose Tianma Gouteng Yin-containing serum resulted in a slight increase in neuroprotection, which was significantly greater than high-dose Tianma Gouteng Yin-containing serum treatment alone (P < 0.05), but not significantly greater than SP600125 treatment alone. The expressions of JNK and c-Jun protein showed no significant change. Conclusion: Tianma Gouteng Yin-containing serum has the neuroprotective effect against MPP+-induced apoptosis, which may be closely related to the JNK signaling pathway.  
摘要:Objective: To investigate the effect of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus-Epimedii Wushanensis Folium extract (SEE) on the learning-memorizing ability in D-galactose induced brain aged mice and explore its relative mechanisms. Method: The ICR mice were divided into five groups randomly, including blank control group (gavage administration of distilled water, subcutaneous injection of normal saline), aging model group (gavage administration of distilled water, subcutaneous injection of 220 mg·kg-1 D-galactose), and three SEE groups (150, 300, 600 mg·kg-1, gavage administration of SEE, orally, subcutaneous injection of D-galactose).All mice were treated for 7 weeks.By using step-through test and step-down test, the effects of SEE on learning-memorizing ability in mice were observed.Water soluble tetrazolium-1 (WST-1) and thiobarbituric acid methods were used to detect the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malonic dialdehyde (MDA) in the brain tissues of mice. Real-time PCR was used to detect the expressions of p19, p53 and p21 mRNA in the brain, and linoleic acid-ferric thiocyanate method and Oyaizu method were used to test the antioxidation in vitro of SEE. Result: Step-through test and step-down test results showed that 300, 600 mg·kg-1 SEE could significantly improve the learning-memorizing ability (P < 0.05, P < 0.01),increase SOD activities and decrease content of MDA (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and decrease the expressions of p19, p53 and p21 mRNA significantly in D-galactose induced brain aged mice (P < 0.05,P < 0.01).Linoleic acid-ferric thiocyanate method results showed that SEE could inhibit oxidation of linoleic acid after establishment of reaction system for 36 hours and its inhibition effect was higher than vitamin E. Oyaizu experiment showed that the reducing capacity of SEE on Fe3+ was stronger than vitamin E, with absorbance of 0.711. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that SEE could improve the learning-memorizing ability in D-galactose induced brain aged mice, and this effect may be related to its antioxidative activity and decrease of expressions of p19, p53 and p21 mRNA in the brain.  
摘要:Objective: To explore the effect of corilagin on the proliferation, migration and invasion of human liver cancer cells and its relevant mechanism. Method: Methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, transwell chamber and wound healing assay were used to evaluate the effect of corilagin on cell viability, cell cycle progression and migration of human liver cancer cells. Immunofluorescence staining and Western blot assays were performed to explore the effect on F-actin distribution, formation of lamellipodia and filopodia, and expressions of relevant signal molecules. Result: The MTT assay demonstrated that the proliferation of SMMC7721 and MHCC97H cell were inhibited by different concentrations of corilagin. Half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) at 48 h were 388.67,314.42 μmol·L-1, respectively. Wound-healing assay showed that 200 μmol·L-1 corilagin exhibited the greatest inhibition on SMMC7721 cell, and 120 μmol·L-1 corilagin exhibited the greatest inhibition on MHCC97H cell. Transwell assay demonstrated that compared with negative control group, the number of penetrating cells in experimental group was decreased significantly. Immunofluorescence staining showed that corilagin can cause F-actin skeleton remodeling in SMCC7721 and MHCC97H cells. With higher concentrations, cell edge filopodia and lamellipodia formation gradually decreased, while fiber tension number increases gradually. This effect was significant in SMMC7721 200 μmol·L-1 and obvious in MHCC97H 120 μmol·L-1. Western blot showed that corilagin can significantly down-regulate protein expressions of N-Cad and Vimentin in EMT (P < 0.05), and down-regulate MAPK pathway's p-ERK expression and increase p-p38 lightning protein expression (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Corilagin inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration in human liver cancer cells in vitro. The mechanism may be correlated with the inhibition of N-Cad and Vimentin protein expressions and p-ERK expression, and up-regulation of p-p38 lightning protein expression.

In addition, levels of carcinoembryonic antigen 125 (CA125), CA199, VEGF, MMP-2, MMP-9, bFGF, TGF-β1 and TNF-α were detected before and after treatment. Result: The total effective rate was 91.67% in observation group, higher than 76.27% in control group (χ2=5.255, P < 0.05). At the 4th, 5th, 6th menstrual cycle, VAS in observation group was lower than that in control group (P < 0.01). Scores of non-menstrual pelvic pain, sexual intercourse pain, pelvic tenderness, sacral ligament tenderness nodules and blood stasis syndrome in observation group were all lower than those in control group after treatment (P < 0.01), and scores of CA125, CA199, VEGF, MMP-2, MMP-9, bFGF, TGF-β1 and TNF-α were all lower than those in control group (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Gongliuxiao capsules can ameliorate pain-related symptoms, improve clinical efficacy, reduce levels of proinflammatory cytokines such as VEGF, and promote the formation of neovascularization from different targets to control the condition.

摘要:Objective: To study on the effective molecular mechanism of Indigo Naturalis in intervening K562 cell of chronic myelocytic leukemia(CML) under the guidance of protein-protein interaction network,the molecular docking technique and in vitro cell experiment. Method: CML-related genes were obtained by screening the online mendelian inheritance in man database(OMIM),then String 10.0 was used for text mining and constructing the CML protein-protein interaction network,the interaction data were input in Cytoscape 3.4.0 software and plug-in CentiScaPe 2.1 was used to implement topology analysis.Small active substances of Indigo Naturalis were obtained from a third-party database,which were optimized by Chemoffice 8.0 and Sybyl 8.1,then small molecular ligand library was obtained the molecular docking was carried out by Surflex-Dock module and the target,the key target was received after scoring.After in vitro experiment was designed,MTT assay was used to detect the inhibition rate of proliferation of K562 cell in blank group(drug-free serum) and experimental group(10%,20% and 30% serum contained Indigo Naturalis) at 24,48,72 h,while the expression of JAK2 protein was detected by Western blot. Result: Protein-protein interaction network of CML was constructed,which consisting of 425 nodes (proteins) and 2 799 sides (interactions),the key gene JAK2 was got by further analyzed.Indigo Naturalis can inhibit the proliferation of K562 cell and reduce the expression of JAK2 protein. Conclusion: CML is a complex disease controlled by polygene,JAK2 is likely to be a key node,the mechanism underlying the inhibitory effect of Indigo Naturalis on the proliferation of K562 cell may relate to the down-regulation of JAK2 protein by indirubin.

摘要:Flavonoids have a variety of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, anti-thrombosis, antibacterial, antiviral, and hypolipidemic, etc. As a commonly used safe edible fungi, Aspergillus niger is widely used in microbial transformation and plays an important role in the biotransformation of flavonoids. This paper reviews the progress of biotransformation of flavonoids and their derivatives in A. niger at home and abroad in recent 15 years in order to provide reference for the further development and application of A. niger. The results showed that the main types of flavonoids participated in biotransformation were flavone, flavonoid glycoside, flavanone, chalcone, polymethoxyflavonoids, and isoflavanone. Hydroxylation, dehydroxylation, methylation, demethylation, carbonylation, decarbonylation, glycosylation, and de-glycosylation were the main reactions. The transformation mechanism may be generated with enzyme involved, and would develop conversion products after the occurrence of the above reaction. The study on the progress of the transformation of flavonoids from A. niger was carried out not only to provide theoretical guidance for the application of A. niger to the actual production of flavonoids,but also lay the theoretical basis and reference for the microbial efficient transformation of chemical compositions with pharmacological activity.  
摘要:Prescriptions are the main clinical application form of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), carrier of TCM, and its compatibility regularity and formulation principle are the essences of TCM theories. Pharmacological research of prescriptions is the key point of modern TCM study. Its difficulty is based on the various pathogenesis and TCM combinations. Modern scientific technology could significantly promote the modernization, scientific and innovative development of TCM theories. Modern studies on TCM should focus on TCM theories, and be integrated with modern system theories and technological methods, so as to reveal the mechanism of TCM prescriptions for preventing and treating disease theories in an all-round way. In recent years, pharmacological research methods are mainly concentrated in the following aspects, namely whole prescription study, decomposed prescription study, comparative study on similar prescriptions, dosage form study, decoction method study and pharmacokinetic study. The pharmacology methods are combined with modern techniques, such as biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, molecular chemistry, serum pharmacochemistry of TCM, prescription metabonomics, genomics and proteomics, so as to promote the prescription development significantly. Each method has its own application range and advantages, but some shortages, such as holistic TCM concept deficiency, separation between whole and parts, separation between macroscopic and microscopic views, and methods limitations. Therefore, we make conclusions on the above methods, in order to make good combination on prescriptions and modern techniques, avoid limitations and promote pharmacological research development.
