Abstract:
Objective To compare the anti-inflammatory,antitumor and anti-bacterial effects of the single extract(in granules)and the prepared drug in pieces of Forsythia Suspense(Lianqiao,a traditional Chinese herbal medicine).Methods In zebrafish embryo models of CuSO4 exposure,tail transection and LPS microinjection-induced inflammation,the anti-inflammatory effects of 10 μg/mL DEX,single extract of Forsythia Suspense,and the water extract of the prepared drug(400,600,and 800 μg/mL)were evaluated by observing neutrophil counts,RT-qPCR,HE staining and survival analysis.Zebrafish embryo models bearing different human tumor cell xenografts were used to assess the anti-tumor effect of the drugs in different dosage forms by fluorescence staining and HE staining.The microbroth dilution method was used to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of the drugs.Results In the zebrafish embryo models of inflammation,both of the two dosage forms of Forsythia Suspense significantly inhibited neutrophil aggregation,reduced the mRNA expressions of TNF-α,IL-6,P38,Jnk,Erk and P65,and increased the survival rate of zebrafish.They both showed obvious inhibitory effects against xenografts of different human cancer cells including colon cancer cells(HCT116),pancreas adenocarcinoma cells(PANC-1),lung cancer cells(A549),liver cancer cells(Hep3B)and cervical carcinoma cells(Hela)in zebrafish embryos,and exhibited strong anti-bacterial effects at the concentration of 15.63 mg/mL.Conclusion The two dosage forms of Forsythia Suspense have similar anti-inflammatory,antitumor and antibacterial effects,but their effects for inhibiting IL-6,P65,and Jnk mRNA expressions and HCT116 cell proliferation differ significantly at low doses in zebrafish.
