Objective To study the effects and mechanism of berberine in combination with magnolol and honokiol on the formation of THP-1 macrophage-derived foam cells. Methods THP-1 macrophages were induced into foam cells by ox-LDL, and intracellular cholesterol in foam cells was determined by HPLC-MS; the concentration of tumor necrosis factor-α in the supernate of THP-1 macrophages was tested by ELISA and cell-surface CD36 level was assessed byflow cytometry. Results Combined treatment of berberine, magnolol and honokiol significantly reduced cholesterol con-tent in foam cells, also inhibited expression of tumor necrosis factor-α and CD36 in THP-1 macrophage. Conclusion Co-administration of berberine, magnolol and honokiol can inhibit the formation of foam cells probably through, down-regulating the level of tumor necrosis factor-α and CD36.

Background and purpose:Smac/DIABLO was the only apoptosis-related protein that could inhibit IAPs directly and simultaneously.The four amino-residual AVPI(Ala-Val-Pro-lie)in its N-terminal was the very important domain that could stimulate apoptosis.This study investigated the effect of synthetic Smac peptide (SmacN7) on chemotherapy sensitivity of bladder cancer cells.Methods:SmacN7 penetratin peptide was synthesized and delivered into T24 cells.MTT assay was adopted to evaluate the viability of T24 cells induced by low-dosage of MMC. Flow cytometry was applied to analyze the proportion of apoptosis and Western blot was used to detect the expression of XIAP and caspase-3;The activity of caspase-3 was measured and the effect of SmacN7 combined with MMC on T24 cell lines was also determined.Results:SmacN7 penetratin peptide could successfully interact with endogenous XIAP and increase the proportions of apoptosis of T24 cell lines induced by low-dosage of MMC in a dose-and time- dependent manner.An obvious down-regulation of XIAP expression and up-regulation of caspase-3 was identified by Western blot.The activity of caspase-3 in experimental group was significantly increased as compared with that in the control group;Combining the treatment with SmacN7 penetratin peptide,the viability of T24 cells decreased to 55% and 72.7% in 24 hrs and 48 hrs respectively.Conclusion:SmacN7 penetratin peptide could act as a cell-permeable IAP inhibitor,inhibit the proliferation,induce apoptosis and enhance the chemo-sensitivity of bladder cancer cells to MMC. When combined with chemotherapy,it may be a very promising strategy for bladder cancer therapy.

Objective To preliminarily study effects of polysaccharide of Sijunzi Decoction (SD) on the function of intestinal mucosal humoral immune. Methods NIH mice were equally randomized into 4 groups:normal control group,model group,SD polysaccharide (SDPS) group,and SD free proteoglycan (SDFP) group. The intestinal sIgA content was detected by ELISA. The phynotype of Peyer's nodel cells was examined with flow cytometer. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of TLR4 receptor in the intestine.
