Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2010;41(11):1838-1842
Objective: To observe the protection of neuron nutrition active peptide (NNAP) on the Parkinson's disease (PD) rats and its effect on the microglias. Methods: 6-Hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) was used to prepare the PD rat model. Further, the effects of NNAP on the rotation behavior and the immunoreactivity of substantial nigra dopaminergic (DA) neurons and microglia cells were observed by behavior test and immunocytochemistry. Results: The results show that PD rats treated with NNAP [0.05 mg/ (kg·d), ip] for 7 d behaved the decreased rotation times compared to PD group obviously (P<0.01). Furthermore, in the lesion side of 6-OHDA rat, compared with the model group, the therapeutic rats revealed the obvious increased number and the optical density of DA neurons in 20 000 μm2 measure area (P<0.01); The obvious decreased number and the optical density of the microglia cells compared to PD group in the midbrain (P<0.01). Conclusion: The results suggest that NNAP could inhibit the immunoreactivity of microglia cells, which may involve in the protection function in PD rats.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of total flavonoids of Herba Epimedium (FHE) on BMP-2/RunX2/OSX signaling pathway in promoting osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).
METHODSPassage 3 BMSCs were randomly divided into the control group, the experimental group, and the inhibitor group. BMSCs in the control group were cultured in 0.2% dimethyl sulfoxide + Osteogenuxic Supplement (OS) fluid + DMEM/F12 culture media. BMSCs in the experimental group were intervened by 20 microg/mL FHE. BMSCs in the inhibitor group were intervened by 20 microg/mL FHE and 1 microg/mL NOGGIN recombinant protein. At day 9 alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was measured. Calcium nodules were stained by alizarin red staining and the density was observed. The transcription expression of osteogenic differentiation-related proteins (type I collagen, osteocalcin, and osteopontin) and related factors of BMP-2/RunX2/OSX signaling pathway was assayed by RT-PCR.
RESULTSCompared with the control group, ALP activities were enhanced and the density of calcium nodules significantly increased; type I collagen, osteocalcin, and osteopontin expression levels were increased in the experimental group. The expression of osteogenesis-related transcription factor was also increased in the experimental group. Noggin recombinant protein inhibited FHE promoting BMSCs osteogenesis in the inhibitor group. Compared with the experimental group, ALP activity decreased (P < 0.05), the density of calcium nodules was lowered, expression levels of type I collagen, osteocalcin, osteopontin significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in the inhibitor group.
CONCLUSION20 microg/mL FHE promoted osteogenic differentiation process of BMSCs by BMP-2/RunX2/OSX signaling pathway.
