Involvement of a Na−Ca exchange mechanism in contraction induced by low-Na solution in isolated guinea-pig aorta

The possibility of involvement of a Na–Ca exchange mechanism in the contractile responses induced by a reduction of external Na concentration ([Na]₀) has been studied in isolated guinea-pig aorta. Low-Na (11.9 mM) solution (Lisubstituted) produced a contraction in ouabain-treated muscles in the presence of phentolamine (10^–6 M). The magnitude of the contraction was dependent on the duration of the pretreatment with ouabain (2×10^–5 M). Ca-free solution, but not verapamil (10^–6 M), abolished the contraction induced by low-Na solution. The muscles were loaded with various amounts of Na by incubating the tissue with ouabain and varying [Na]₀ (11.9–148.7 mM) in the absence of Ca. The magnitude of the contractions induced in these muscles by low-Na solution containing Ca (2.5 mM) was dependent on the cellular Na content. Loss of cellular Na into low-Na solution followed a single exponential time course and the rate coefficient of Na-loss in the presence of external Ca was about twice as great as in the absence of Ca. Cellular⁴⁵Ca uptake in low-Na solution was significantly greater in Na-loaded tissues (pretreated with ouabain for 3 h) than in normal tissues. The⁴⁵Ca uptake in low-Na solution was not inhibited by verapamil. These results suggest that the contraction induced by low-Na solution is caused by a Ca influx which is dependent on internal Na (a Na–Ca exchange mechanism).     

TNF inhibits malaria hepatic stages in vitro via synthesis of IL-6

We examined the capacity of murine recombinant tumor necrosis factor (rmTNF) to induce an inhibitory effect at the hepatic stage on malaria induced by Plasmodium yoelii sporozoites. When injected three times, 1.0 micrograms of rmTNF was found to protect 78% of mice against a sporozoite challenge. In contrast, whatever the dose and the schedule of administration, no inhibition was observed when purified hepatocyte cultures were infected with P. yoelii. The addition of non-parenchymal hepatic cells to hepatocyte cultures restored the capacity of TNF to modulate hepatic stage development, leading to up to 44% inhibition. Antibodies to interleukin 6 reversed the anti-parasite activity in the co-culture system.

中药单体调控自噬干预胚胎植入的研究进展

胚胎植入是生殖过程中最关键的步骤之一,植入失败的胚胎无法继续发育,是导致不孕的重要原因之一。胚胎植入的成功依赖于子宫内膜的高容受性和具有植入能力的胚胎。自噬是细胞质、细胞器和内含物被双膜囊泡吸收并运输到溶酶体进行降解和再循环的过程,是一种维持内环境稳态的方式。大量证据表明,自噬在胚胎植入的各个环节有着重要的作用。基于此探讨了自噬与子宫内膜容受性和胚胎植入能力的关系,并根据最新的研究进展,梳理了大黄素、梓醇、芍药苷、白藜芦醇、叶酸、玉米赤霉烯酮、姜黄素、汉黄芩素、槲皮素、白杨素、小檗碱、芹菜素、菲西汀、山柰酚在内的14种中药单体调控自噬干预胚胎植入的不同环节的5个机制,包括促进子宫内膜基质细胞蜕膜化、促进细胞凋亡、调节激素水平、协调炎症、促进排卵,希望对今后中药单体提高胚胎植入的成功率提供参考及思路。     

中药皂苷类成分的降糖作用及机制研究进展

2型糖尿病（T2DM）是一种以胰岛素抵抗、高胰岛素血症、糖脂代谢紊乱为特征,临床以血糖升高为主要表现的慢性代谢性系统疾病。其病因及发病机制复杂,目前尚无完全治愈的手段,严重威胁着人类的健康,给社会和家庭带来了沉重的负担。皂苷是一类结构比较复杂的苷类化合物,具有来源广、安全性高、不良反应低等优点。中药皂苷作为中药重要的活性成分,具有降血糖、降血脂、抗炎、抗氧化、抗肿瘤、调节免疫等多种生物活性。近年来,众多研究表明中药皂苷类成分可有效地防治糖尿病。虽然中药皂苷类成分降糖作用及机制研究众多,但目前尚缺乏对中药皂苷类成分治疗T2DM作用及机制研究的系统综述。故该文围绕中药皂苷类成分改善胰岛β细胞功能、改善胰岛素抵抗、抑制糖苷酶活性、降低炎症反应、抗氧化应激、调节肠道菌群等降糖机制进行系统归纳,并分析目前研究存在的问题及发展趋势,以期为深入研究中药皂苷类成分的降糖作用提供理论基础,为药物的开发与临床应用提供科学依据。     

杜仲及其有效成分治疗膝骨关节炎的作用机制研究现状

膝骨关节炎（KOA）是中老年常见的退行性关节疾病,发病率随着人口老龄化程度加深及肥胖人群增加而不断增加,严重影响患者健康及日常生活。目前采用的非甾体类抗炎药、软骨保护类药物、阿片类镇痛药等对症治疗手段作用有限,且药物不良反应明显。杜仲是治疗KOA常用且有效的中药之一,但其作用机制和药效物质基础尚未明确,限制了其在临床更为广泛的运用。杜仲在KOA治疗领域的有效成分主要为环烯醚萜类（京尼平苷、杜仲苷/桃叶珊瑚苷）、木脂素类（松脂醇二葡萄糖苷）、黄酮类（槲皮素、紫云英苷、黄芩素、金丝桃苷、山柰酚）、苯丙素类（绿原酸）、杜仲多糖等化合物,他们主要通过丝裂原活化蛋白激酶、核转录因子-κB、磷脂酰肌醇3-激酶/蛋白激酶B及等Janus激酶1/信号转导和转录激活因子3等信号通路,来调节炎性因子水平、抗氧化应激反应、保护软骨细胞、平衡细胞外基质合成与降解等,控制KOA病情进展。该文对杜仲及其有效成分在KOA治疗方面的作用机制进行了综述,以期为KOA新药研发提供理论依据。     

Anticancer Mechanism of Curcumin on Human Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant brain tumor and accounts for most adult brain tumors. Current available treatment options for GBM are multimodal, which include surgical resection, radiation, and chemotherapy. Despite the significant advances in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, GBM remains largely resistant to treatment, with a poor median survival rate between 12 and 18 months. With increasing drug resistance, the introduction of phytochemicals into current GBM treatment has become a potential strategy to combat GBM. Phytochemicals possess multifarious bioactivities with multitarget sites and comparatively marginal toxicity. Among them, curcumin is the most studied compound described as a potential anticancer agent due to its multi-targeted signaling/molecular pathways properties. Curcumin possesses the ability to modulate the core pathways involved in GBM cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, autophagy, paraptosis, oxidative stress, and tumor cell motility. This review discusses curcumin’s anticancer mechanism through modulation of Rb, p53, MAPK, P13K/Akt, JAK/STAT, Shh, and NF-κB pathways, which are commonly involved and dysregulated in preclinical and clinical GBM models. In addition, limitation issues such as bioavailability, pharmacokinetics perspectives strategies, and clinical trials were discussed.
