China Pharmacy 2015;(25):3476-3478
OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Yangrong runchangshu mixture on tyrosine kinase receptor protein CD117 (c-Kit),substance P(SP)and myenteric nerve plexus vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP)in the colon interstitial cell of Cajal of rat with slow transit constipation(STC). METHODS:Morphine hydrochloride(2.5 mg/kg)was given sc once daily for 45 consecu-tive days to establish STC rat models. 120 rats were randomized into a normal control (isometric normal saline) group,a model (isometric normal saline)group,Maren pill(positive control,14.7 g/kg)group and Yangrong runchangshu mixture high-dose and low-dose [15 and 7.5 g(medicinal materials)/kg] groups. After successful establishment of the models,drugs were given ig once dai-ly for 10 consecutive days. Immunohistochemical method was employed for staining. The changes in the structure and c-Kit,SP and VIP expressions in rats’colonic tissues were observed under the light microscope. RESULTS:Compared to the normal control group,those in the model group demonstrated weaker expressions of c-Kit and SP and less positive cells in colon,stronger expres-sion of VIP and more positive cells,with statistical significances (P<0.01);cellular morphology became abnormal obviously. Compared to the model group,those in Maren pill group and Yangrong runchangshu mixture high-dose and low-dose groups showed stronger expressions of c-Kit,SP and more positive cells in colon,weaker expressions of VIP and less positive cells with statistical significances (P<0.05);cellular morphology was improved to some extent. CONCLUSIONS:Yangrong runchangshu mixture can improve the contents of SP and VIP and the expression of c-Kit in rats with STC to some extent.

This study aimed at exploring the effects of Griffipavixanthone,a natural small molecule extracted from Garcinia esculenta,on the autophagy and the mechanism behind it.Cervical cancer HeLa cells were selected as the model in vitro.Confocal microscopy,flow cytometry and immunoblotting were performed to know the impacts of Griffipavixanthone on signaling pathway over autophagy flux and calcium level;while nude mouse model was established to explore its anti-cancer action in vivo.It was found that Griffipavixanthone significantly induced GFP-LC3 puncta formation and the accumulation of LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ,and increased the protein expression of SQSTM1 in HeLa cells in a time and concentration dependent manner.MTT assay results showed that Griffipavixanthone inhibited the growth of HeLa cells in a dosage dependent manner,and eliminated the tolerance of tumor cells to nutrient starvation,which fastened the death of cells.Griffipavixanthone also down-regulated the concentration of calcium in the cytoplasm.Furthermore,the in vivo study indicated that intratumoral injection of Griffipavixanthone presented the anti-cancer effect to a certain extent.In conclusion,it was suggested that Griffipavixanthone inhibit autophagy with the potential to be developed into a clinical anti-cancer agent.Griffipavixanthone sensitized HeLa cells to nutrient stress-induced cell death through inhibiting the autophagy flux and the level of calcium in the cytoplasm.

Objective To establish a method of nucleic acid extraction and enrichment based on magnetic nanoparticle as medium for elevating the analytical sensitivity of domestic HBV real-time PCR kit and detection of the trace amount HBV DNA. Methods After receiving antiviral treatment, the serum samples of 50 hepatitis B patients with HBV DNA concentration ≤1×104 IU/ml were collected. The WHO HBV DNA calibrator was used as the standard material. Nanometer magnetic beads were used to adsorb and enrich the HBV nucleic acid and increase the concentration of the extracted HBV nucleic acid template. Compared with Roche HBV DNA detection reagent and four domestic reagent with conventional nucleic acid extraction and detection method, the improvement effect of this method on domestic nucleic acid detection reagent was evaluated. Results After application of nanometer magnetic extraction method to domestic regent, the analytical sensitivities of the domestic reagent reached 10 and 50 IU/ml, respectively,which was about the same detection level to 12 IU/ml of the imported Roche reagent. The positive rates of the detection of serum trace amount HBV DNA of hepatitis B patients with four kinds of domestic extraction reagent were 64% ( 32 ), 56% ( 28 ), 62% ( 31 ) and 58% (29), respectively. There were significant statistical differences between Roche reagent and four domestic extraction reagent kits(x2 = 7. 895, 12. 698,9. 013 and 11. 416 ,P <0. 05 ). With nanometer magnetic extraction method combined with domestic reagent kits, the detection rates were 88% (44), 88% (44), 88% (44) and 86% (43) ,respectively. There was no significant difference compared with the imported Roche reagent (x2 = 0. 000, 0. 000, 0. 000 and 0. 088,P >0. 05). Moreover, when the HBV nucleic acid concentration was 101-103 IU/ml, the logarithm value of viral nucleic acid concentration was in reverse correlation to Ct value, but the correlation decreased in the concentration range of 103-106 IU/ml. Conclusions The nucleic acid extraction method based on magnetic nanoparticle as medium can significantly improve the analytical sensitivity of domestic HBV DNA detection reagent, which can be used to monitor the trace amounts HBV DNA in the sera of the hepatitis B patients.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of retinoie acid on B16 marina mel-anoma cells and human melanocytes in vitro. Methods B16F10 murine melanoma cells and human mela-noeytes were cultured in culture medium which contains different concentration of components, including retinoic acid. Using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) mRNA expression of the tyrosinase was detected. Tyrosinase activity, melanin content and cell proliferation rate were also deter-mined. Results Retinoieacid exhibited an inhibitory effect on the expression of tyrosinase mRNA. As the concentration of retinoic acid was 100 μmol/L, treating for 72 h, the expression of tyrosinase mRNA de-creased 30.13 %, retinoic acid exhibited an inhibitory effect on tyrosinase activity and melanin production at high concentration (>500 μmol/L), and it could promote the cell proliferation. Retinoic acid and hy-droqninone could be cooperative at high concentration (1 000 μmol/L), and enhanced the down regulation of tyrosinase activity and melanin content. Retinoic acid could also mitigate the inhibitory effect of hydro-quinone on cell proliferation, so as to protect the cells from injury. Hydroquinone had no effect on tyrosi-nase gene expression at mRNA level. Conclusion Retinoic acid inhibits the synthesis of melanin by the genetic regulation at mRNA level.
