Aim To investigate the effects of osthole ( Ost) on the ability of proliferation and differentiation in APP transduced neural stem cells( NSCs) , and neu-ronal apoptosis, in order to find related mechanism. Methods A model of Alzheimer′s disease( AD) cells was successfully established by transducing APP gene into NSCs in vitro. The ability of proliferation and dif-ferentiation was tested by staining. The viability of NSCs was determined by using CCK-8 assay. The cell apoptosis was tested by Hoechst 33258 staining. The expression of GSK-3β and β-catenin mRNA was deter-mined by RT-PCR. The expression of GSK-3β and β-catenin protein was determined by Western blot. Re-sults The ability of proliferation had increased by 10 . 24% with Ost treatment, compared with APP group. The ability of differentiation had increased by 6 . 74%with Ost treatment, compared with APP group. The vi-ability of NSCs had increased and cell apoptotic rate had decreased significantly. From the results of RT-PCR and Western blot, we could find the expression of GSK-3βmRNA and protein had decreased, and the ex-pression of β-catenin mRNA and protein had increased significantly, compared with APP group. Conclusion Ost could enhance the ability of proliferation and dif-ferentiation into more neurons of NSCs transducing APP gene, and reduce neuronal apoptosis. It might be relat-ed with activiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Aim To investigate the effects of neurotro-phin-3 ( NT-3 ) gene overexpression on the differentia-tion into cholinergic neuron of neural stem cells ( NSCs) in vitro and its underlying mechanism. Meth-ods Brain-derived NSCs from newborn mice were iso-lated and cultured in vitro and determined by immuno-fluorescence. The NSCs were divided into three groups: NSCs, GFP-NSCs and NT-3-NSCs groups. The expression of NT-3 was detected by immunofluo-rescence and ELISA. Then, the ability of NSCs on dif-ferentiation into cholinergic neuron was detected by im-munofluorescence and RT-PCR, and the Acetylcholine Assay Kit was used for acetylcholine ( ACh) , and the expression of Hes1 , Mash1 and Ngn1 mRNA was de-termined by RT-PCR. Results The neurosphere dis-played Nestin and Sox 2-postive by immunofluores-cence, suggesting that the cultured cells were NSCs. The proportion of ChAT immunopositive cells was sig-nificantly higher in the NT-3-NSCs group than that in the other two groups ( P <0. 01 ) . Ach secretion in NT-3-NSCs was significantly elevated compared with the other two groups ( P <0. 01 ) . NSCs transfected with NT-3 increased the levels of Mash1 and Ngn1 mR-NA, and decreased the level of Hes1 mRNA ( P <0. 05 ) . Conclusion NT-3 can significantly promote the in vitro differentiation of NSCs into cholinergic neu-rons via probablly inhibiting Notch signaling pathway.

To evaluate the effect of components in Guanxin Ⅱ prescription on the pharmacokinetic profiles of paeoniflorin and ferulic acid. METHODS: Drug concentrations of rat plasmas after intravenous injection of paronia pall (PPE) or ferulic acid (FA) extract solution, as well as oral administration of PPE and FA solution, and different kinds of decoctions based on Guanxin Ⅱ prescription were determined by an HPLC system. NONMEM (nonlinear mixed-effect modeling) method was used to analyze the population pharmacokinetics of PF and FA. RESULTS: A two-compartment model with first order degradation in absorption phase, and an ordinary two-compartment model were adequately describe PF and FA pharmacokinetic profiles, respectively. The mean of PF population parameters, CL1, V1, CL2, V2, Ka0, and Ka1, were 0.509 L/h, 0.104 L, 0.113 L/h, 0.123 L, 0.135 /h, and 0.0135 /h, respectively, while the typical values of CL1, V1, CL2, V2, Ka1, and F in FA model were 0.295 L/h, 0.025 L, 0.0331 L/h, 0.0518 L, 0.110 /h, and 0.40, respectively. Inter-individual variabilities were estimated and dose formulation (DF) was identified as a significant covariate in the model. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the pharmacokinetic behaviors of index components in Guanxin Ⅱ prescription can be influenced by different dose formulations administrated in rats.
