Effect of shenmai Injection on SIL-2R NK and LAK cells of patients with advanced carcinoma

Serum interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) level, activities of natural killer cell (NK) and lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells were determined in 60 patients with advanced carcinoma (AC) before and after treatment with Shenmai Injection (SMI), forty healthy persons were taken as non-carcinoma control (NC). The results showed that: Serum sIL-2R level in AC were much higher than those in NC (P<0.05) and activities of NK and LAK cells in AC were much lower than those in NC (P<0.05) before treatment. There was no significant difference among gastric, colonic and lung cancer (P>0.05). After treatment with SMI, it was found that the level of sIL-2R in all patients were obviously lowered (P<0.05) while the activities of NK and LAK cells were signifficantly higher than that prior the treatment (P<0.05). Relevancy was not found between sIL-2R and NK, LAK cells. These data suggested that the immune function was compromised in AC, and SMI has a wide effect of immuno-regulation.

Ferulic acid enhances insulin secretion by potentiating L-type Ca2+ channel activation

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of ferulic acid, a natural compound, on pancreatic beta cell viability, Ca²⁺ channels, and insulin secretion.MethodsWe studied the effects of ferulic acid on rat insulinoma cell line viability using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide viability assay. The whole-cell patch-clamp technique and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were also used to examine the action of ferulic acid on Ca²⁺ channels and insulin secretion, respectively.ResultsFerulic acid did not affect cell viability during exposures up to 72 h. The electrophysiological study demonstrated that ferulic acid rapidly and concentration-dependently increased L-type Ca²⁺ channel current, shifting its activation curve in the hyperpolarizing direction with a decreased slope factor, while the voltage dependence of inactivation was not affected. On the other hand, ferulic acid have no effect on T-type Ca²⁺ channels. Furthermore, ferulic acid significantly increased insulin secretion, an effect inhibited by nifedipine and Ca²⁺-free extracellular fluid, confirming that ferulic acid-induced insulin secretion in these cells was mediated by augmenting Ca²⁺ influx through L-type Ca²⁺ channel. Our data also suggest that this may be a direct, nongenomic action.ConclusionThis is the first electrophysiological demonstration that acute ferulic acid treatment could increase L-type Ca²⁺ channel current in pancreatic β cells by enhancing its voltage dependence of activation, leading to insulin secretion.

Involvement of Protease-Activated Receptor 2 in Nociceptive Behavior in a Rat Model of Bone Cancer

Treatment for bone cancer pain remains a clinical challenge due to a poor understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2), a receptor for inflammatory proteases, has been implicated in nociceptive signaling under both normal and pathologic pain states. However, little is known of the role of PAR2 in cancer-induced bone pain. Here we investigated the potential role of PAR2 in a rat model of bone cancer pain. The model of bone cancer pain was induced by inoculating Walker 256 into the tibia bone cavity of rats and verified by X-ray imaging, pathology, and behavior assessments. The rats with bone cancer exhibited marked mechanical allodynia, thermal hyperalgesia, and signs of spontaneous nocifensive behavior. Subcutaneous administration of the PAR2 antagonist FSLLRY-NH2 almost completely abolished mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia but had no effects on spontaneous pain behavior in the rats with bone cancer. Immunohistochemical study revealed that the expression of PAR2 was significantly increased in large- and medium-sized dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons but not in small-sized neurons after Walker 256 inoculation. These results suggest that the increased expression of PAR2 in the DRG may contribute to the development of mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia associated with bone cancer rats. PAR2 might become a novel target for the treatment of pain in patients with bone cancer.
