    GAO Wei-zhen,MU Xin,ZHANG Xiao-hua
    2017, 14(10): 577-581. 
    Abstract ( 328 )   PDF (501KB) ( 126 )  
    Objective To study the protective function and mechanism of polygalasaponin F(PGSF) against the injury induced by amyloid β protein (Aβ). Methods PC12 cells were exposed to Aβ, and the cell viability was analyzed by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide(MTT), the accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS) were measured by DCFH-DA probe, the effects of PGSF on cognition were evaluated through the Morris water maze, and the protein level was detected by Western blot methods. Results It was showed that PGSF could increase the cell viability-impaired by Aβ, and decrease the accumulation of ROS induced by Aβ. Results further showed that Aβ could prolong the escape latency and decrease the crossing frequency, and PGSF (20 mg·kg-1) could improve these impaired movements. PGSF also could increase the protein level of brain derived neurophic factor(BDNF), and enhance the phosphorylation of TRK and GSK3β 216Y. Conclusion PGSF could protect cells from Aβ damage, and it was proved to prevent A-destroyed learning and memory, and this function might be associated with TRK-GSK3β-BDNF signal pathway. So, PGSF might be apotential compound for Alzheimer's disease.

    2017, 14(10): 582-586. 
    Abstract ( 322 )   PDF (554KB) ( 205 )  
    Objective To explore the major toxic constituent of Sophorae Tonkinensis. Methods The decoction of Sophorae Tonkinensis were prepared by the usage method of clinic, and then, the alkaloid part and non-alkaloid part (which mainly include flavonoids and saponins) of the decoction were prepared by macroporous resin and polyamide resin. The acute toxicity test of zebrafish was used to evaluate the toxicities of different extractions. In addition, MTT method was adopted to observe the impact of different extractions on growth of HepG2 cells, screening fractions with damage effect and caculating the half inhibitory concentration (IC50). LDH release assay was used to detect cell membrane injury. Flow cytometry analysis was used to detect apoptosis of HepG2 cells with Annexin V-FITC/PI double dye. Results The results of the toxicity of zebrafish showed that the non-alkaloid part was the main toxic part of Sophorae Tonkinensis. MTT assay also showed that the non-alkaloid site had the strongest inhibitory effect on the viability of HepG2 cells. The non-alkaloid part could induce HepG2 cell membrane injury and the rate of injury reached 67.31% at the concentration of 2 mg·mL-1. According to flow cytometry analysis, the apoptosis of HepG2 cells induced by non-alkaloid part was higher than that of control (P <0.05). Conclusion All the above experiments suggest that the non-alkaloid part of Sophorae Tonkinensis may be the main toxic part. And the non-alkaloid part may affect cell viability by inducing cell membrane damage and apoptosis.
