Objective To investigate the effect of tannic acid on glomerular mesangial cells (GMC),and to clarify the mechanism of tannic acid in improving the pathological changes of diabetic nephropathy (DN)from the aspect of oxidative stress and micro-inflammation. Methods The glomerular mesangial cells were treated with glucose (30 mmol·L-1 )or advanced glycosylation end-products (AGEs)bovine serum albumin(BSA)(250 mg·L-1 )and then different concentrations of tannic acid (10,20,40 and 80μmol·L-1 )were added into the GMC.The cells cultured by normal glucose or treated with BSA were used as control groups and then the level of malonic dialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px ), superoxide Dismutase (SOD ), CAT (Catalase ) activities and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine(8-OHdG)levels in the culture supernatant 48 h after culture were determined by colorimetry and ELISA method. The expressions of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1 ) protein, monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1 ) and ICAM-1 mRNA in GMC were detected by immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR method.Results Compared with high glucose and AGEs groups,the MDA levels in tannic acid groups were reduced significantly(P<0.05);the activities of GSH-Px,SOD and CAT were increased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01);the 8-OHdG levels in annic acid groups were significantly reduced (P<0.05). Compared with high glucose and AGEs groups,the expressions levels of ICAM-1 protein in 40 and 80μmol· L-1 tannic acid groups were decreased (P<0.05 ). The mRNA expressions levels of MCP-1 and ICAM-1 were significantly lower than those in high glucose group (P<0.01 ).Conclusion Tannic acid could protect GMC against the damage of oxidative and inflammatory mediators,thereby delaying and improving the glomerular lesions of DN.

To evaluate the regulating effect of Buyang Huanwu decoction and its simple prescription (Naojian tablet) on CDK4/Cyclin D1 expression in hippocampus tissues of rats with cerebral ischemia, SD rats were divided into the sham-operation group, the model group, the Buyang Huanwu decoction group (ig, 3.15 g · kg⁻¹) and the simple prescription group (ig, 2.41 g · kg⁻¹). Each group was further divided into five subgroups based on time points after the administration, i. e. 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d and 28 d, respectively. CDK4/Cyclin D1 expressions of the group at different time points were examined by using immunohistochemistry and real-time qPCR. According to the results, the cerebral ischemia model group showed higher CDK4/Cyclin D1 expression than the sham-operation groups (P < 0.05), suggesting that the cell cycle signal pathway would be activated by the cerebral ischemic injury. Both Buyang Huanwu decoction and simple prescription groups showed significantly lower cyclin expression than the model group at 3 d, 7 d, 14 d, 28 d (P < 0.05), indicating both Buyang Huanwu decoction and its simple prescription could play the neuroprotective effect through the cell cycle signal pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of phosphatidylinesitol-3 kinase/serine threonine kinase (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway on expression of beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme-1 (BACE1) in the hippocampus neurons of rat brain. Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: blank control group, sham-operated group, insulin group and wortmannin group. Insulin or the specific inhibitor of PI3K, wortmannin was injected into hippocampus neurons to activate or inhibit the signaling pathway in insulin group or wortmannin group, respectively. Immunoprecipitation and Western blot were used to analyze the proteins levels of PI3K/Akt and BACE1. Results In insulin treatment group,among the proteins downstream of signaling pathway, expression of Akt increased (0. 952±0.060 vs 0.835±0.029,t=4.9150, P=0.0001), phospho-Akt set473 increased (0.800±0.075 vs 0.657± 0.025,t=4.5598, P=0.0002), phospho-GSK-3α decreased (0.604±0.062 vs 0.726±0.041, t= 3.5871, P=0.0018 ), and the expression of mature BACE1 and β-CTF significantly decreased. In wortmannin group, the expression of Akt and phospho-Akt ser473 were inhibited; phospho-GSK-3α increased ; mature BACEI (1.004±0.096) and β-CTF (1.031±0.048) increased (t=11.5980, P= 0.0000 and t =4.2194, P =0.0004, respectively). Conclusions PI3K/Akt signaling pathway might effect the expression of BACE1, in which impaired signaling pathway may cause the amyloid precursor protein to be easily processed by BACE1, and thus involves the pathology of Alzheimer' s disease.

Aim To evaluate the regulation of thin recipe of Buyang Huanwu decoction on cyclin-dependent kinase 5(Cdk5)expressions in hippocampus tissue of rats after cerebral ischemia.Methods Male SD rats were divided into sham-operation group,MCAO group,Buyang Huanwu decoction group(ig.3.15 g·kg-1)and its thin recipe composition group(ig.2.41 g·kg-1).Each group was then divided into five subgroups based on the time after administration for 1,3,7,14,28 d respectively.Cdk5 protein and mRNA levels in each group were examined by using immunohistochemistry,Western blot and real-time PCR respectively.Results The up-regulation of Cdk5 was observed in model rat hippocampus after cerebral ischemia 1 day,and kept increasing with the aggravation of ischemia injury,the peaked expression was observed after 7～14 d,while the downtrend was observed after 28 days compared with the corresponding sham-operation groups(P<0.01),suggesting that the Cdk5 signal pathway would be activated by cerebral ischemic injury.The expression of Cdk5 in thin recipe of Buyang Huanwu decoction group was significantly lower than that in model group at each time point(P<0.05),and there was also more obvious down-regulation with the extend of intervene time.The regulation effects of thin recipe of Buyang Huanwu decoction was up to the best after 28 days of administration,which indicated the thin recipe was positive to the abnormal expression of Cdk5,and there was no difference between Buyang Huanwu decoction and its thin recipe treated groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The thin recipe of Buyang Huanwu decoction could exert the protective effect by regulating Cdk5 after cerebral ischemia.

Aim To observe the effects of thin recipe of Buyang Huanwu Decoction on angiogenesis and the signal pathway of Nrf2 / HO-1 after cerebral ischemic injury in rats. Methods Totally 120 SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham operation group,model group,Buyang Huanwu Decoction group and thin recipe of Buyang Huanwu Decoction group. The focal cerebral ischemia rat model was established by middle cerebral arterial occlusion. Each group was treated with corresponding treatment. Each group was detected after cerebral ischemia for day 1,day 3 and day 7, respectively. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the plasma levels of factor VIII related antigen( vWF), determination of microvessel density (MVD). The expression of Nrf2,HO-1 gene and pro-tein in brain tissues was detected by Real-Time PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blot. Results ① Compared with sham-operation group, the expression of vWF in the model group was significantly increased on day 3(P< 0. 05). Compared with model group, the expression levels increased differently in each drug group on day 7 (P < 0. 05). ② The expression of Nrf2, HO-1 gene and protein in sham operation group showed a small a-mount of gamma expression. Compared with sham op-eration group at the same time point, the expression of Nrf2 protein was significantly increased on day 3(P <0. 01). Compared with model group at the same time point, the Nrf2mRNA and protein expression was up-regulated in each drug group. The Nrf2mRNA on day 1,the Nrf2 protein on day 1 and day 7 were significant-ly increased( P < 0. 01). Compared with sham opera-tion group at the same time point, the expression of HO-1mRNA and protein in the model group was signif-icantly increased on day 7(P < 0. 05). Compared with model group at the same time point, the HO-1mRNA on day 3, the HO-1 protein on day 3 and day 7 in each drug group were significantly increased (P < 0. 05,P <0. 01). Conclusions The thin recipe of Buyang Hua-nwu Decoction promotes brain angiogenesis after ische-mia. The effect may be related wih the expression of Nrf2 / HO-1 signal pathway.
