Ethnopharmacological relevance
Salvia miltiorrhiza has long been used in the traditional Chinese formulations for the treatment of heart ischemic diseases.Aim of the study
We investigated the cardioprotective effect of purified Salvia miltiorrhiza extract (SME) in an experimental model of acute myocardial infarction.Materials and methods
Following induction of acute myocardial infarction in rats by adminstration of isoproterenol, hemodynamic and electrocardiographic parameters were monitored and recorded continuously, cardiac enzymes and parameters of oxidative stress were measured, and histopathological examination of heart tissue was performed. Experiments were performed in rats treated with SME or vehicle, as well as in those treated with Fufang Danshen Tablet (FDT) as a positive control which has previously been shown to prevent myocardial ischemia.Results
Isoproterenol-treated rats showed reductions in left ventricular systolic pressure as well as in maximum and minimum rate of developed left ventricular pressure, together with an increase in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. They also demonstrated ST-segment elevation, together with increases in serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase, glutamic oxalacetic transaminase, creatine kinase and malondialdehyde, as well as decreases in serum activities of glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase. Oral administration of SME (29.76 or 59.52 mg/kg) blunted all of the hemodynamic and biochemical changes induced by isoproterenol, as did FDT (1210 mg/kg). The protective effect of SME on isoproterenol-induced myocardial damage was further confirmed by histopathological examination.Conclusions
Our results suggest that SME affords protection against isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction. 相似文献2.

Ethnopharmacological significance
Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) are ingredients extracted from traditional Chinese medicinal herb Panax notoginseng. It has been demonstrated that PNS have extensive effects on the cardiovascular system, including inhibition of platelet aggregation, increasing blood flow, improving left ventricular diastolic function in hypertensive patients and anti-inflammatory effect.Aim of study
Recent researches indicated that PNS administration inhibited foam cells’ formation. The present study was designed to study the effects of PNS on atherogenesis and to explore the relevant molecular mechanisms.Materials and methods
The Zymosan A induced atherosclerosis models were used to investigate the anti-atherosclerosis effects of PNS. The integrin express array was used to check the changes of integrins. The foam cell formation was observed with transmission electron microscope. The effect of PNS on phosphorylation of FAK on threonine 397 and protein level of NF-κB was also evaluated in vitro.Results
PNS treated rats had less plaque spots on the aortas compared with Zym induced group. The formation of foam cell was inhibited by PNS. Compared with Zym treated group, the expression of most integrin families decreased except Itgav and Itgb2 after PNS treatment. PNS inhibited phosphorylation of FAK on threonine 397 and translocation of NF-κB.Conclusion
High fat diet together with Zym induces atherogenesis of rat. PNS inhibits zymosan A induced atherogenesis by suppressing FAK phosphorylation, integrins expression and NF-κB translocation. 相似文献3.

Magnesium lithospermate B (MLB), an active polyphenol acid of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae (Danshen), showed a wide range of pharmacological activities in cardiovascular diseases. However, its role in protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury in H9c2 cardiomyocytes has not been elucidated. This study was aimed to investigate the protective effect and potential molecular mechanisms of MLB on apoptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes in vitro.Materials and methods
We tested cell viability, shortening amplitude, necrosis, apoptosis, and the expression levels of Akt, phosphorylated Akt, Bcl-2 and Bax after 2-h simulated ischemia and 24-h simulated reperfusion in H9c2 cardiomyocytes. We further observed the contractile function in hearts after they were subjected to global 30-min ischemia and 180-min reperfusion.Results
Pretreatment with MLB markedly increased cell viability and while reducing evidence of necrosis and apoptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes. In addition, the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax protein was modulated. The results also showed that MLB significantly increased phosphorylation of Akt and that this phosphorylation can be partially inhibited by phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt inhibitor. Furthermore, MLB improved MI/R-induced myocardial contractile function.Conclusion
Our results showed that MLB prevents I/R-induced myocardial damage by reducing necrosis and apoptosis in H9c2 cardiomyocytes and improving myocardial function in rat hearts. 相似文献4.
Aim of the study
To determine anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities of Cuscuta reflexa in cell lines (in vitro).Materials and methods
Anti-inflammatory activity of the water extract was analysed in vitro using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced inflammatory reactions in murine macrophage cell line RAW264.7. The expression of COX-2 and TNF-α genes involved in inflammation was analysed by SQ RT-PCR. EMSA was conducted to analyse the influence of the extract on NF-κB signalling. Anti-cancer activity was analysed on Hep3B cells by MTT assay, DAPI staining, annexin V staining and SQ-RT PCR analysis of BAX, Bcl-2, p53 and survivin.Results
The extract down regulated LPS induced over expression of TNF-α and COX-2 in RAW264.7 cells; blocked NF-κB binding to its motifs and induced apoptosis in Hep3B cells as evidenced from MTT, DAPI staining and annexin V staining assays. The extract up regulated pro-apoptotic factors BAX and p53, and down regulated anti-apoptotic factors Bcl-2 and survivin.Conclusions
The study showed that Cuscuta reflexa inhibits LPS induced inflammatory responses in RAW264.7 cells through interplay of TNF-α, COX-2 and NF-κB signalling. It induced apoptosis in Hep3B cells through the up regulation of p53, BAX and down regulation of Bcl-2 and survivin. 相似文献5.

Panax ginseng is a precious traditional Chinese herbal medicine which has been utilized as herbal tonic for improving immunity. The active component, ginsenosides have been shown to possess various pharmacological functions including immunomodulation and cardiovascular protection.Aim of the study
To investigate the immunomodulatory effect and anti-apoptotic effect of ginsenosides on avian influenza-infected human endothelial cells, and to present evidence for the cardiovascular protection by ginseng during influenza infection.Materials and methods
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were infected with avian influenza H9N2/G1 to induce IP-10 production and cell death, cells were then incubated with ginsenosides PPT and Re. The level of IP-10 and microRNA was determined by ELISA and real-time PCR respectively. Cell death was determined by MTT, TUNEL and flow cytometry.Results
Ginsenoside metabolite protopanaxatriol showed significant suppression effect on IP-10 production upon H9N2/G1 infection through up-regulation of miR-15b expression. In addition, ginsenoside-induced cytoprotection was reflected in the increase of cell viability. Data from flow cytometry analysis and TUNEL assay also showed that ginsenoside Re could protect ECs from H9N2/G1-induced apoptosis and DNA damage.Conclusions
This report further supports the traditional belief for immunomodulatory effects of ginseng, also demonstrated the partial protective mechanism of ginsenosides on avian influenza infection and its related endothelial dysfunction. 相似文献6.

Aim of the study
Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) is the main effective component of Panax notoginseng, have various pharmacologic activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and estrogen-like bioactivities, have been shown to be an effective agent on anti-osteoporosis. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) play a crucial homeostatic role in skeletal modeling and remodeling due to their capability to differentiate into osteooblasts. Whether PNS has effect on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs are unknown.This study was designed to investigate the effects of PNS on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in vitro.Materials and methods
When BMSCs cultivated in the basal medium or the osteogenic induction medium (OS with or without PNS), cell proliferation was analyzed using an MTT assay, the mineralization was assessed using Alizarin red S staining, the alkaline phosphatase activity was measured using a commercial kit, the mRNA level of osteogenic gene and PPARγ2 gene were determined using RT-PCR, the protein level of PPARγ2 was analyzed by Western blotting.Results
BMSCs cultured in the basal medium with PNS caused a significant increase in proliferation. PNS treatment increased ALP activity, Alizarin red S staining and mRNA level of ALP, Cbfa 1, OC, and BSP, whereas decreased the mRNA level and protein expression of PPARγ2 during osteogenic induction. In addition, the effects of PNS treatment were dose-dependent relationship.Conclusion
PNS could stimulate BMSCs proliferation and promote their osteogenic differentiation by up-regulation expression of osteogenic marker gene and down-regulation expression of adipogenic marker gene in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, PNS may play an important therapeutic role in osteoporosis patients by improving osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. 相似文献7.
Aim
Accumulating evidence has indicated that Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS), the major ingredients in Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F.H. Chen which could be found widely in Asia, can attenuate atherogenesis in vivo. This study was designed to examine the relationship of PNS with cholesterol ester in foam cells sourced from macrophages and the effect of PNS on the expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1).Materials and methods
Foam cells sourced from macrophages were cultured with PNS. The content of cholesterol ester in foam cells was analyzed and expressions of ABCA1 and liver X receptor α (LXRα) in foam cells were measured by real-time PCR and western blotting methods.Results
The results showed that PNS could significantly decrease the level of cholesterol ester in foam cells at middle and high dosages. The real-time PCR and western blotting assays indicated that the expression of ABCA1 was up-regulated by PNS in a dose-dependent manner. Analysis based on these results showed that the cholesterol ester level was negatively correlated with ABCA1 expression.Conclusions
As a result, we conclude that by up-regulating the expression of ABCA1, PNS could lower the cholesterol ester level, which resulted in the attenuation of the foam cell formation. This bioactivity might be associated with the special chemical structures of PNS that are similar to the natural agonist of LXRα. 相似文献8.
Ethnopharmacological relevance
Ganoderma lucidum (Lingzhi) is traditionally drug, which has been traditionally effective used in the treatment of chronic hepatopathy, hypertension, hyperglycemia and cancer.Materials and methods
THP-1 and HL-60 apoptosis induced by active lipids of Ganoderma lucidum spores was quantified by flow cytometry using FITC-conjugated annexin V and PI; MAPK and Akt were measured by Western blot, and caspase-3, -8 and -9 activities were also detected by spectrophotometric assay.Results
Our results showed that active lipids of Ganoderma lucidum spores decreased phosphorylation-ERK1/2 (P-ERK1/2), P-Akt and increased P-JNK1/2, but did not affect expressions of P-p38 MAPK in THP-1 cells. Moreover, treatment of THP-1 cells with active lipids of Ganoderma lucidum spores resulted in activation of caspase-3, -8 and -9. Furthermore, LY294002 (Akt inhibitor) or PD98059 (ERK1/2 inhibitor) significantly enhanced active lipids of Ganoderma lucidum spores-induced apoptosis in THP-1 cells, whereas caspase inhibitors or SP600125 (JNK inhibitor), decreased apoptosis in THP-1 cells.Conclusion
Taken together, our study for the first time suggests that active lipids of Ganoderma lucidum spores is able to enhance apoptosis in THP-1 cells, at least in part, through inhibition of ERK1/2, Akt and activation of JNK1/2 signaling pathways. Moreover, it also triggers caspase-3, -8 and -9 activation mediated apoptotic induction. 相似文献9.

Aim of the study
To evaluate the protective effect of baicalein on myocardial dysfunction caused by endotoxaemia in rats and to explore the possible mechanisms.Materials and methods
Baicalein (10 mg/kg, intravenous) was administered to conscious Wistar rats 30 min after lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 10 mg/kg, intravenous) challenge. Six hours after LPS administration, the contractile function of the isolated heart was examined using the Langendorff technique. Cardiac protein expression related to inflammatory responses, superoxide anion production and caspase-3 activity were measured.Results
Post-treatment with baicalein significantly attenuated the LPS-induced hypotension with accompanying tachycardia. The contractile function of isolated heart was significantly preserved 6 h after LPS administration, following treatment with baicalein. Furthermore, baicalein induced the expression of heme oxygenase-1 protein and reduced superoxide anion formation in the myocardium of LPS-treated rats. Cardiac levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, phospho-IκBα and phospho-p65 protein and caspase-3 activity significantly increased 6 h after LPS challenge but baicalein significantly attenuated these LPS-induced changes.Conclusions
Baicalein improves myocardial contractility in LPS-induced sepsis, which may be related to reductions in oxidative stress, myocardial inflammatory responses and apoptosis. 相似文献10.

Effects of Panax notoginseng saponins on proliferation and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells
Aim of the study
Atherosclerosis is a common cardiovascular disease, and linked with the development of many cardiovascular complications, such as myocardial ischemia and stroke. Although pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is not completely elucidated, increasing evidence has demonstrated that abnormal proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays an important role in formation of atherosclerosis. Previous studies showed that saponins from Panax notoginseng (PNS) possess anti-atherosclerotic properties. However, the mechanism of PNS against atherosclerosis is not well understood. Therefore, the present study observed the effects of PNS on proliferation and apoptosis of VSMCs.Materials and methods
Rat VSMCs were cultured, and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) was used to stimulate cell proliferation. The viability of VSMCs was assessed with the MTT method. VSMCs apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Expressions of apoptosis related protein p53, Bax, caspase-3 and Bcl-2 were determined using Western blot.Results
Pretreatment of the cells with PNS (200, 400, 800 μg/mL) significantly inhibited proliferation of PDGF-stimulated VSMCs, and induced apoptosis of the proliferated VSMCs in a concentration-dependent way. Western blot analysis showed that PNS upregulated expressions of pro-apoptotic protein p53, Bax and caspase-3, downregulated expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, and enlarged Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in the proliferated VSMCs induced by PDGF.Conclusions
This study demonstrates that PNS both inhibits VSMCs proliferation and induces VSMCs apoptosis through upregulating p53, Bax, caspase-3 expressions and downregulating Bcl-2 expression, which constitute the pharmacological basis of its anti-atherosclerotic action. 相似文献12.

Aim of the study
This work aims to investigate the effects of HSYA on cardiac function and blood pressure.Materials and methods
To evaluate changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR), different groups of pentobarbitone-anesthetized normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were treated with intravenous HSYA (0.1-3 mg/kg). Isolated WKY rat hearts in Langendorff system were employed for examining the effect of HSYA on hemodynamic. After 30 min equilibration time the isolated hearts were perfused with HSYA (30 μmol/L) in a stepwise fashion. Potassium channel inhibitors were used to determine the role of potassium channel activation in HSYA effect.Results
Intravenous injection of the HSYA significantly reduced MAP and HR in both normotensive rats and SHR in a dose-dependent manner. HSYA reduced left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), the maximum rate of increase of left ventricular pressure (+dp/dtmax) and heart rate (HR) in a dose-dependent manner. HSYA had no remarkable effect on the maximum rate of decrease of left ventricular pressure (−dp/dtmax); BKCa and KATP blocker can weakened the inhibitory effect of HSYA on heart function and HR, but KV and KACh blocker did not significantly weaken the HSYA effects.Conclusion
Our results show that HSYA could significantly reduce blood pressure and heart rate, which may be related to activation of BKCa and KATP channels. 相似文献15.

Neuraminidase (NA) inhibitors are currently the most effective drugs to treat influenza A viruses infection. Many traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) have been used in the clinics to treat influenza. The anti-viral mechanisms of these TCMs and their inhibitory effects towards NA need to be systematically tested.Aim of the study
To evaluate the anti-NA activity of the TCMs and the anti-influenza A virus effects of the NA inhibitory TCMs in vitro and in vivo.Material and methods
We tested the inhibitory activity of water extracts from 439 TCMs towards NA. The in vitro anti-influenza virus activities of the 5 TCMs were evaluated using the strain A/California/7/2009 (H1N1) NYMC X-179A of influenza A virus. A randomly selected TCM with NA inhibitory activity, Melia toosendan extract, was further evaluated using a mouse model infected with influenza A virus.Results
Five TCMs, Duchesnea indica (Andr.) Focke [Fragaria indica Andr.], Liquidambar formosana Hance., Lithospermum erythrorhizon Sieb. et Zucc., Melia toosendan Sieb. et Zucc., and Prunella vulgaris L., exerted potent inhibitory activity towards NA. These TCMs in the range of 25-250 μg/mL had the ability to reduce virus-induced cytopathic effect (CPE) and the virus yield in MDCK cells. Melia toosendan significantly reduced death rate and prolonged mean day to death (MDD) of the viral infected mice.Conclusions
This study describes five TCMs exerted strong inhibitory activities towards NA, and exhibited antiviral effect against influenza A virus by reducing viral reproduction and reduced CPE of the viral infected cells. Melia toosendan, significantly reduced death rate and prolonged survival of the H1N1 viral infected mice. 相似文献16.

Ethnopharmacological relevance
A traditional herb, Yi-Gan San, has been widely used for the management of neurodegenerative disorders in traditional East Asian Medicine.Aim of the study
The present study investigated the neuroprotective effects of Yi-Gan San in 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridine/1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-induced cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo and sought to clarify its underlying mechanisms.Materials and methods
The effect of Yi-Gan San on 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridine was measured in terms of 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assays, caspase-3 activity, and western blot analysis of phosphorylated Akt, one of the survival-related signaling proteins in SH-SY5Y cells. The effects of Yi-Gan San were also confirmed in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-induced Parkinsonian mouse model using a rotarod test and tyrosine hydroxylase-immunohistochemistry.Results
Pretreatment of Yi-Gan San with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridine showed a significant protective effect on SH-SY5Y cells and significantly decreased the level of caspase-3 activity compared to the values for the 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridine-treated cells. This process increased the protein expressions of phosphorylated Akt, and an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt, LY294002, significantly decreased this protective effect of Yi-Gan San. In the mouse Parkinson's disease model, treatment with Yi-Gan San also significantly improved motor functioning and prevented dopaminergic loss related to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine challenge.Conclusion
Using both in vitro and in vivo methods, this study revealed that Yi-Gan San has neuroprotective effects and rescues dopaminergic neurons from 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridine/1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine toxicity, possibly via the PI3K/Akt pathway. 相似文献18.

Aims of the study
Ko-Ken Tang (KKT, aka kakkon-to), a conventional Chinese herbal medicine, has been used for the treatment of the common cold, fever and influenza virus infection. However, the underlying mechanism of its activity against influenza virus infection remains elusive. In this study, the antiviral effect and its underlying mechanism was evaluated, including the investigation of anti-influenza virus activity of KKT on MDCK cells and corresponding mechanism related to phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway and its consecutive viral RNP nuclear export.Materials and methods
The antiviral activity of non-toxic concentration of KKT was examined against various strains of influenza virus and enterovirus 71 by neutralization assay. PI3K/Akt signaling activated by influenza virus was inspected in A549 cells by western blot. Inhibition of influenza polymerase activity by KKT was measured with plasmid-based reverse genetics using primer extension assay and luciferase reporter assay. Inhibition of viral vRNP nuclear export was demonstrated by laser confocal microscopy and interspecies heterokaryon assay.Results
KKT inhibits influenza virus replication but not entry, and it exhibits a broad spectrum inhibitory activity against human influenza A viruses and enterovirus 71. KKT does not inhibit viral polymerase activity but directly blocks the virus-induced phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway, which in turns causes retention of viral nucleoprotein in the nucleus, thereby interfering with virus propagation. The inhibition by KKT of the nuclear export of viral protein was further confirmed by heterokaryon assay.Conclusions
The results obtained in this study give scientific support to KKT for the treatment of influenza virus infection. KKT could be of potential use in the management of seasonal pandemic influenza virus infection in addition to other clinically available drugs. 相似文献19.
Aim of the study
To evaluate the antihypertensive effect of total flavone extracts from Puerariae Radix (FEPR). To explore the hemodynamic profiles and pertinent mechanism of the extracts.Materials and methods
Acute and chronic antihypertensive effects of FEPR were examined in spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHRs) and reno-hypertensive rats (two kidneys one clip model, 2K1C). Anesthetized dogs were used to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of FEPR. The determination of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity in vitro and plasma renin activity (PRA) and endothelin (ET) in vivo were used to study the pilot mechanism of FEPR. Moreover, the toxicity study of FEPR was evaluated.Results
FEPR (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg, i.v.) notably reduced the blood pressure of SHRs in a short time period. A two-week administration of FEPR (45, 90 and 180 mg/kg, p.o.) decreased the blood pressure of both 2K1C rats and SHRs. The results of hemodynamic study in anesthetized dogs showed that, left ventricular end systolic pressure and left ventricular dP/dtmax had shown no significant difference between FEPR-treated dogs and those from the control group, while the cerebral blood flow increased significantly in FEPR-treated groups. FEPR significantly inhibited the ACE activities in vitro dose dependently, and inhibited the PRA in vivo, while the content of ET showed no difference in the FEPR treated group comparing with the control group.Conclusions
FEPR shows significantly blood pressure lowering and cerebral vascular resistance (CVR) decreasing effect, which can partly be explained by the involvement of the Renin-Angiotensin-System (RAS). 相似文献20.
