Chinese preparation Xuesaitong promotes the mobilization of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in rats with cerebral infarction

After cerebral ischemia, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are mobilized and travel from the bone marrow through peripheral circulation to the focal point of ischemia to initiate tissue regeneration. However, the number of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells mobilized into peripheral circulation is not enough to exert therapeutic effects, and the method by which blood circulation is promoted to remove blood stasis influences stem cell homing. The main ingredient of Xuesaitong capsules is Panax notoginseng saponins, and Xuesaitong is one of the main drugs used for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. We established rat models of cerebral infarction by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery and then intragastrically administered Xuesaitong capsules(20, 40 and 60 mg/kg per day) for 28 successive days. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that in rats with cerebral infarction, middle- and high-dose Xuesaitong significantly increased the level of stem cell factors and the number of CD117-positive cells in plasma and bone marrow and significantly decreased the number of CD54-and CD106-positive cells in plasma and bone marrow. The effect of low-dose Xuesaitong on these factors was not obvious. These findings demonstrate that middle- and high-dose Xuesaitong and hence Panax notoginseng saponins promote and increase the level and mobilization of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in peripheral blood.

目的 探讨三七总皂苷(PNS)对急性肺损伤(ALI)犬血管外肺水(EVLW)与呼吸力学参数的影响.方法 18只犬被随机均分为正常对照组、模型组,PNS治疗组.均给予犬气管插管建立人工气道并实施机械通气支持[潮气量(VT)10 ml/kg,呼气末正压(PEEP)0,吸人氧浓度(FiO2)1.00].静脉注射油酸建立ALI犬模型.成模后PNS组静脉给予PNS 10 mg/kg(溶于葡萄糖注射液中,2.5 ml/min),正常对照组和模型组给予等量葡萄糖注射液.连续监测各组犬的呼吸力学参数及动脉血气.成模后4 h处死动物,采用重力法测定EVLW,计算血管外肺水指数(EVLWI).结果 PNS能显著降低ALI犬的EVLWI[(14.10±1.45)ml/kg比(17.97±0.85)ml/kg,P<0.05],但仍显著高于正常对照组[(8.82±0.54)ml/kg,P<0.01].制模成功后,氧合指数(PaO2/FiO2)及静态肺顺应性(Cst total)显著下降;静脉注射PNS 2 h后PaO2/FiO2和Cst total较模型组显著升高(P<0.05或P<0.01);而气道阻力(Raw)、动脉血二氧化碳分压(PaCO2)则无明显变化,3组间比较差异亦无统计学意义(P均>0.05).结论 PNS对ALI犬具有一定的保护作用,使EVLW降低、肺顺应性增高,有助于改善低氧血症.

Effects of Panax notoginseng saponins on proliferation and differentiation in NIH3T3 cells

Objective:To investigate the effects of Panax notoginseng saponins(PNS)on the proliferation and differentiation in NIH3T3 cells.Methods:NIH3T3 cells were treated by various concentrations of PNS 0,0.05, 0.10,0.20,and 0.40 g/L.The vitality and proliferation potential of cells were detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol- 2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT)assay,the alkaline phosphatase(ALP)activity was measured by p-nitrophenyl phosphate(pNPP)assay,and the mineralization formation ability was tested for the cellular differentiation toward osteoblast,as well as the expression level of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinasel/2(P-ERK1/2),extracellular signal-regulated kinasel/2(ERK1/2)protein kinase was analyzed by Western blot with total cell lysate of NIH3T3 cells treated by PNS.Results:Both MTT andρNPP assay showed that optical density(OD)values were increased in response to PNS treatment at a dose-dependent pattern. The mineralization formation ability was enhanced in PNS-treated NIH3T3 cells compared with untreated cells. Meanwhile,the expression level of P-ERK1/2 protein kinase was up-regulated in PNS-treated NIH3T3 cells, while,the expression level of ERK1/2 protein kinase revealed no obvious difference with or without PNS treated cells.Conclusion:PNS could pay a role to promote the proliferation and differentiation in NIH3T3 cells by means of up-regulation of P-ERK1/2 protein kinase.     

Temporal expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in peritoneal macrophages of rats and effects of panax notoginseng saponins

Objective:  To explore the temporal expression pattern of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and effects of panax notogensing saponins (PNS) in peritoneal macrophages of rats. Materials and methods:  Phagocytosis function of peritoneal macrophages was measured by chicken red blood cell phagocytosis assay in vitro. Expression of COX-2 mRNA and protein, PGE₂ and PGD₂ production were determined with real-time PCR, Western blotting and radioimmunoassay, respectively. Results:  Phagocytosis function of macrophages increased significantly after stimulation and reached peak during 2–3h. Expression of COX-2 mRNA and its protein increased markedly after stimulation and reached the first peak at 2 h and 3h, respectively; and then decreased to reach a minimum at 24h. The second peak appeared at 36h. PNS (50, 100, 200 mg/kg) increased the phagocytosis function obviously at 2h, decreased the expression level of COX-2 and PGE₂ production at 2 h and elevated COX-2 expression and PGD₂ production at 36 h, respectively. Conclusion:  COX-2 expression in peritoneal macrophages has a double-hump feature after stimulation. PNS enhanced phagocytosis, inhibiting COX-2 expression at an early stage and elevating it at a later stage.

三七总皂甙对豚鼠心房肌细胞电生理特性的影响

目的： 研究三七总皂甙(panax notoginseng saponins,PNS)对离体豚鼠左心耳心肌细胞(left atrial appendage,LAA)电生理特性的影响, 以探讨其抗心律失常的作用机制。方法：应用标准玻璃微电极细胞内记录技术,记录不同浓度PNS灌流时,离体豚鼠左心耳心肌细胞的动作电位(action potential,AP)和有效不应期(effective refractory period,ERP)。结果：0.7、7、70、700 mg/L PNS在灌流20 min时作用最突出,与对照组比较7 mg/L PNS灌流20 min时的动作电位时程(action potential duration, APD) APD80,70 mg/L灌流20、30、40 min时APD50和APD80均明显延长（P<0.05）。0.7-700 mg/L 4个浓度组的PNS灌流20min时豚鼠心房肌细胞的静息电位(rest potential,RP)、动作电位幅度(action potential amplitude,APA) 和0相最大除极速率(Vmax)无明显变化。7 mg/L和70 mg/L的PNS灌流20min能明显延长心房肌细胞的ERP,与对照组比较由（127.00±7.26）ms分别延长为（153.00±9.19）ms和(161.00±10.21)ms,P<0.01。而在7 000 mg/L高浓度时,灌流10 min以后即出现心律失常现象。结论：一定浓度的PNS能延长豚鼠心房肌细胞的APD和ERP,与胺碘酮(amiodarone)相似,这可能是其抗心律失常的作用机制。
