Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2014;(1):12-15
Objective To explore mechanism of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on improvement of cognitive function and alleviation of hippocampal insulin resistance in APP/PS 1 transgenetic mice. Method 12 months old female APP/PS 1 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups:model group(Tg), EGCG low dose group (Tg/EGCG-L), high dose group(Tg/EGCG-H). C 57 BL/6 J mice were utilized as control. learning and memory ability in 4 group mice were detected by morris water maze test(MWM). The hippocampal TNF-α/JNK signal and IRS-1 pSer 312 expression were detected by Western blot and immunohistochemical staining. Results Compared with NT mice, Tg mice showed a marked prolongation of the escape latency and swimming distance in the MWM test(P<0.05);Abnormal activation of TNF-α/JNK signaling and increased IRS-1 pSer 312 expression in the hippocampus of Tg mice(P<0.05). EGCG-treated Tg mice showed significantly improvement of all these abnormal changes(P<0.05). Conclusion EGCG treatment is able to alleviate hippocampal insulin resistance and improve cognitive function in the APP/PS 1 mice. which may be partly attributed to the reduction of TNF-α/JNK signaling activity in this AD mouse model.
2. Camellia nitidissima polysaccharides alleviate experimental intracerebral hemorrhage injury via regulating microglia M1/M2 polarization
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2020;36(2):231-237
Aim To explore the effect of camellia nitidissima polysaccharides (CNP) on acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and its mechanism related to regulation of microglia polarization. Method Adult male C57 BIV6 mice were randomly divided into sham-oprated control group, ICH group and CNP group. CNP was intragastrically administered immediately after intracerebral hemorrhagefor a consecutive three days. Neural functional outcomes were evaluated by neurological deficiency score (NDS) , open field test, and adhesive removal test. Blood-brain barrier destruction and pathological injury were detected by Evans blue staining and brain water content. Inflammatory factors were detected by ELISA. Microglia phenotypic status was evaluated and determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction ( qPCR) analyses, and immunofluorescence labeling. Results CNP significantly reduced neurological deficit scores and ameliorated cerebral edema and blood-brain barrier injury three days after ICH. Also, CNP treatment improved signifi-cantly motor function three days after ICH. In addition, CNP decreased proinflammatory mediators and inhibited the activation of microglia. Furthermore, treatment of CNP decreased microglia Ml markers and increased M2 markers. Conclusion CNP attenuates acute intracerebral hemorrhage thrdugh skewing microglia toward a more anti-inflammatory property.

BACKGROUND:The bioceramics has the ideal pore size, high porosity and the through-hole rate, can provide the ideal physiological activity space for the bone cel repair, and can obviously improve bone conduction. OBJECTIVE:To explore the bone conduction and bone induction in the repair of bone defects in the stage of bone defect of bionic biphasic ceramic bioactive bone. METHODS:A total of 20 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into bioactive glass and biomimetic biphasic ceramic bioactive bone groups, and were used to construct the animal bone damage model. They were given the repair with bioactive glass and biomimetic biphasic ceramic bioactive bone. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 4 weeks after model establishment, scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that dense periosteal tissue was observed in the biomimetic biphasic ceramic bioactive bone group. At 8 weeks, dense combination was found, and no obvious fissure existed. At 12 weeks, complete bone demarcation blurred, showing a natural transition. Moreover, the binding site was very dense. There were a large number of new bone tissues, bone trabecula was regular and connected to a piece. The bone material has been largely degraded. Bone defects were repaired completely. The bone density was close to normal bone. At 8 weeks, in the bioactive glass group, the binding site presented obvious fissure. At 12 weeks, the fissure had been connected, but the binding was not tight as compared with the bionic biphasic ceramic biologic active bone group. The bone defect got preliminary repair. A smal number of new bone formed trabecular bone, but could not connect or traverse. There was no recanalization of the marrow cavity. A few continuous bone cal us traversed the broken end. These data demonstrate that bionic biphasic ceramic bioactive bone has good bone conduction, bone induction and biocompatibility in the repair of segmental bone defects.
