Attenuation of colitis injury in rats using Garcinia cambogia extract

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic enteropathies that probably result from a dysregulated mucosal immune response. These pathologies are characterized by oxidative and nitrosative stress, leukocyte infiltration and up-regulation of pro-inflammatory substances. Current IBD treatment presents limitations in both efficacy and safety that stimulated the search for new active compounds. Garcinia cambogia extract has attracted interest due to its pharmacological properties, including gastroprotective effects. In this study, the antiinflammatory activity of a garcinia extract was assessed in TNBS-induced colitis rats. The results obtained revealed that garcinia administration to colitic rats significantly improved the macroscopic damage and caused substantial reductions in increases in MPO activity, COX-2 and iNOS expression. In addition, garcinia extract treatment was able to reduce PGE(2) and IL-1beta colonic levels. These antiinflammatory actions could be related to a reduction in DNA damage in isolated colonocytes, observed with the comet assay. Finally, garcinia extract caused neither mortality nor toxicity signals after oral administration. As such, the antiinflammatory effects provided by the Garcinia cambogia extract result in an improvement of several parameters analysed in experimental colitis and could provide a source for the search for new antiinflammatory compounds useful in IBD treatment.

Apolipoprotein E4 enhances brain inflammation by modulation of the NF-κB signaling cascade

Apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4), the major genetic risk factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD), is associated with enhanced brain inflammation. Genome-wide gene expression profiling was employed to study the effects of apoE genotype on hippocampal gene expression in LPS-treated mice, transgenic for either apoE4 or the AD benign allele, apoE3. This revealed that the expression of inflammation-related genes following intracerebroventricular injection of LPS was significantly higher and more prolonged in apoE4 than in apoE3 transgenic mice. Clustering analysis revealed gene clusters which responded differently in apoE4 and apoE3 mice and were significantly enriched in NF-kappaB response elements. Direct measurement of NF-kappaB-regulated genes revealed that their extent of activation was greater in the apoE4 mice. Immunohistochemistry experiments revealed that microglial and NF-kappaB activation were more pronounced in apoE4 than in apoE3 mice. These findings suggest that the increased brain inflammation in apoE4 mice is related to disregulation of NF-kappaB signaling pathway.     

复合维生素E,C,B组合物面膜治疗寻常痤疮117例的疗效和安全性(英文)

目的:了解维生素E,C,B组合物面膜治疗寻常痤疮的疗效及安全性。方法:117例13a以上、痤疮严重程度分级在2级以上且主要表现于脸部的病人,予维生素E,C,B组合物面膜治疗,每日1次,共8wk。观察治疗前后痤疮数量及性质,包括粉刺、丘疹、脓疱及囊肿之数目,并评估整体疗效。结果:治疗后,粉刺、丘疹、脓疱及囊肿数目下降了13±s13,10±12,5±7及3±3,均P<0.01。7例(6.0%)病人症状完全改善,44例(37.6%)中度改善,56例(47.9%)轻度改善,10例(8.6%)无改善。59例(50.4%)病人无红肿、搔痒、灼热及脱皮等现象发生。结论:维生素E,C,B组合物面膜治疗痤疮有效,超过半数的受试者无不良反应发生,可作为传统治疗寻常痤疮药物的替代。     

细胞周期蛋白E在瘢痕疙瘩不同区域中的表达及意义

目的探讨细胞周期蛋白E在瘢痕疙瘩形成过程中的作用及意义。方法应用免疫组织化学链霉亲和素-过氧化物酶（SP）法检测瘢痕疙瘩不同区域和正常皮肤组织成纤维细胞（fibro-blast,FB）中细胞周期蛋白E的表达。结果在瘢痕疙瘩周边部FB中存在细胞周期蛋白E的高表达;而在瘢痕疙瘩中央部阳性表达的FB数量少,8例标本FB中细胞周期蛋白E表达阴性。正常皮肤FB中细胞周期蛋白E表达阴性。经统计学处理,周边部与正常皮肤组及中央部比较,差异有统计学意义（P〈0.01及P〈0.05）;中央部与正常皮肤（NS）组比较差异无统计学意义（P〉0.05）。结论细胞周期蛋白E在瘢痕疙瘩周边部FB中的高表达,不仅可能促进了瘢痕疙瘩的形成,并可能是瘢痕疙瘩侵犯周围正常组织,呈浸润性生长的原因之一。     

Hepatoprotective action of prostaglandin A2 analogs under CCl4-induced liver injury in vitro

Aim: The cytoprotective effects of six novel synthetic prostaglandin A(2) analogs against carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) as a toxic agent were studied with isolated rat liver hepatocytes in vitro. Results: It was found that hepatocytes treatment with CCl(4) induced: (i) a significant increase of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) release from cytoplasm; (ii) leakage of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) and acid phosphatase from mitochondria and lysosomes, respectively; (iii) 10-fold increase of trien conjugates formation; and (iv) a reduction of free SH-groups by 50%. Prostanoids U-26, U-9 and U-34 decreased cytotoxic index of CCl(4) on average by 1.5-2.0 times and were more effective than PGI(2), the well-known hepatoprotector of prostanoids type. The protective action of the prostanoids was not a cAMP- or Ca(2+)-dependent process. However, prostanoids U-26, U-9 and U-34 normalized intracellular content of SH-groups, reduced trien conjugates formation by 60-80% and strongly prevented enzyme leakage through cellular membranes. They were also able to inhibit CCl(4) effects via decreasing cytochrome P(450)2E1 activity. Conclusion: The results obtained demonstrate that prostanoids provide cytoprotective effects on liver hepatocytes through the prevention of lipid peroxidation of the plasma and the cellular membranes and maintenance of their barrier function.
