摘要:Objective: To study the effect of Bistortae Rhizoma from different production places and colors on growth metabolism of Escherichia coli,and investigate its inhibitory effect on E. coli from the standpoint of biological thermodynamics. Method: The thermal spectrum curve reflecting the growth and metabolism of E. coli affected by 18 batches of Bistortae Rhizoma was determined by using microcalorimetry. Then the quantitative thermokinetic parameters,such as peak time(t1,t2),maximum heat-output(Pmax1,Pmax2),growth rate constant(k1,k2),and inhibition rate(I) obtained from these curves were analyzed. Result: Bistortae Rhizoma from Hebei,Shandong and Anhui could prolong the peak time of E. coli in the second growth exponential period (t2),and reduce the maximum thermal power (Pmax2) and growth rate (k2),different from the samples from Hubei. All samples from four production places had no influence on the parameters (t1,Pmax1,and k1) in first growth exponential period. Bistortae Rhizoma from different production places showed different I values on E. coli, between 20%-50% for the samples from Hebei, Shandong and Anhui, while the I value was lower for the samples from Hubei. The Bistortae Rhizoma samples from the same batch but with different colors also showed difference in inhibitory rate. A total of 7 batches of brownish red Bistortae Rhizoma showed higher inhibition rate (I) than its prunosus ones in all 9 batches. Conclusion: The Bistortae Rhizoma from different places and colors have different degrees of inhibitory effect on the growth and metabolism of E. coli, and the factors leading to the difference still need further study.

摘要:Objective: To research the antioxidant activity of Chaihu Shugansan (CSGS) from different compatibility rules in vitro, further identify its antioxidant components and evaluate its regulation ability in the treatment of CSGS in depression. Method: After CSGS was divided into eight compatibility groups, their free radical scavenging activity was determined respectively by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) method, with the mass concentration value at a clearance rate of 50%(IC50) as an evaluation index. Orthogonal partial least squares (OPLS) method was used to investigate the correlation between the characteristic peaks and the efficacy of CSGS, and subsequently the significant active ingredients were identified by the variable importance of projection (VIP) based on the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) characteristic chromatograms. SYBYL 2.0 software was used for molecular docking studies of the antioxidant components in CSGS and regulation of CSGS treatment on depression-related enzymes. Finally, the binding capacity of small molecules and macromolecules was determined on the basis of total score value. Result: The results demonstrated that the contribution order of eight herbs for antioxidant activity was as follows:Aurantii Fructus>Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium>Chuanxiong Rhizoma>Bupleuri Radix>Cyperi Rhizoma>Paeoniae Radix Alba>Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. Besides, three ingredients including hesperidin, neohesperidin and narirutin were identified as the antioxidant activity components. Docking results of both antioxidant components in CSGS and the enzymes regulated by CSGS in the treatment of depression showed a good binding ability. Among them, the binding energy of hesperidin and tryptophanase (TPH), neohesperidin and superoxide dismutase (SOD), narirutin and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TPHD) was 9.088 7, 8.734 0, 9.271 8, respectively. Conclusion: Hesperidin, neohesperidin and narirutin might be the main effective components of CSGS for the antioxidant activity in vitro and they play a regulatory role in the CSGS treatment of depression.

摘要:Objective: To evaluate the intervention effect of different processed products of Bupleuri Radix on heat-induced deficiency heat syndrome rats. Method: Totally 46 healthy male rats were randomly divided into two groups:normal group (6 rats), and model group (40 rats). The model group was intragastrically administered with intragastrically Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, Zingiberis Rhizoma and Cinnamomi Cortex (20 g·kg-1) to establish the internal heat model. After the successful modeling, they were randomly divided into normal group, model group, positive group (Zhibai Dihuangwan, 0.5 g·kg-1), raw Bupleuri Radix group, Turtle blood Bupleuri Radix group, turtle blood combined with Bupleuri Radix group, wine Bupleuri Radix group, and vinegar Bupleuri Radix group. The dosage of each processed product was 3.15 g·kg-1. In the normal group, rats were administered with the same amount of double-distilled water once a day for 11 days. The general conditions and metabolic cage index of rats were measured, and the radix bupleuri basal metabolic changes, D-xylose in serum, triiodothy ronine (T3), thy roxine (T4), cAMP, cGMP content, cortisol, lactic acid (LD), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), activity of adenosine triphosphate(ATP) enzyme content and organ indexes of rats were compared. Result: Compared with the normal group, the body weight of rats in the model group increased slowly, the rectal temperature, water intake, urine volume and body fluid consumption elevated, and food intake and D-xylose content decreased; cAMP, cGMP content, LD in serum, LDH activity, adenosine triphosphate activity, T3 and T4 content increased (P<0.05). This indicated that the internal heat model was successfully established (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the D-xylose in different processed product groups and positive drug group increased (P<0.05); the levels of cAMP and cGMP decreased (P<0.05); the levels of lactate and lactate dehydrogenase increase and the levels of ATP, T3, T4 in each group decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion: Bupleuri Radix's different processed products can make the physiological indicators of the internal heat induced by traditional Chinese medicine in rats to return to normal, indicating a therapeutic effect on the internal heat syndrome in rats. However, the effects of different processed products vary on different physiological indexes. Therefore, different processed products have different degrees of intervention on the internal heat of rats.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the effect of ultra-filtration extraction from Angelicae Sinensis Radix and Hedysari Radix on the cell proliferation and collagen deposition of myocardial fibroblasts induced by radiation. Method: Rat myocardial fibroblasts were separated and cultured by cell adhesion. The cell proliferation was determined by thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method, and the collagen- Ⅰ (COL- Ⅰ) of secretion was determined by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) method after ultra-filtration extraction from Angelicae Sinensis Radix and Hedysari Radix or radiation to myocardial fibroblasts. The changes of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were determined by flow cytometry with indicator 2',7'-dichloride fluorescent yellow double acetate (DCFH-DA) staining. The mRNA expressions of COL- Ⅰ and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) were determined by Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the expressions of relative proteins were determined by Western blot. Result: The rising cellular ROS promoted cell proliferation and collagen deposition of myocardial fibroblasts induced by low-dose radiation (0.5 Gy), which however was inhibited through ultra-filtration extraction from Angelicae Sinensis Radix and Hedysari Radix by promoting nuclear translocation of nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) and eliminating ROS. The mRNA expressions of COL- Ⅰ and TGF-β were both inhibited by ultra-filtration extraction from Angelicae Sinensis Radix and Hedysari Radix. Conclusion: Ultra-filtration extraction from Angelicae Sinensis Radix and Hedysari Radix could inhibit the cell proliferation and collagen deposition of myocardial fibroblasts induced by low-dose radiation.  
摘要:Objective: To explore the function and possible mechanism of berberine on colon cancer cell SW620 based on Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog(KRAS) promoter G-quadruplex target, by investigating its effect on colon cancer cells proliferation and whether berberine could inhibit mRNA expression of KRAS in colon cancer cells through regulating its promoter G-quadruplex. Method: The inhibition rate of berberine on SW620 cell lines proliferation was determined by using 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The binding capacity of KRAS G-quadruplex DNA with berberine was detected by methods of fluorescence spectra, and the anionic quenching experiment, and fluorescence anisotropy and fluorescence polarization experiment were used to investigate their binding mode. The effect of berberine on conformation of KRAS G-quadruplex was studied by using circular dichroism spectra; the effect of berberine on thermal stability of KRAS G-quadruplex was studied by using circular dichroism spectra variable-temperature experiment, and the effect of berberine on KRAS genetic transcription of SW620 cells was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). Result: Berberine can inhibit the proliferation of SW620 cells in a dose dependent manner. KRAS G-quadruplex DNA had a stronger binding capacity with berberine at a stoichiometric ratio of about 1:1, with a binding constant of (0.93±0.21)×106 L·mol-1, under a binding mode of complex patterns of terminal stacking and groove binding. Berberine can keep the parallel conformation and thermostability of KRAS G-quadruplex, and 100 μmol·L-1 berberine can inhibit the mRNA expression of KRAS in SW620 cells. Conclusion: Berberine can bind with KRAS promoter G-quadruplex DNA and keep the thermostability of its parallel conformation, and may down-regulate KRAS genetic transcription of SW620 cells by affecting its G-quadruplex structure, which may be one of the mechanisms for inhibiting the proliferation of cells. KRAS promoter G-quadruplex structure may become a new target in colon cancer therapy.
