目的探讨大蒜素诱导骨肉瘤细胞凋亡的作用及其机制。方法使用不同浓度大蒜素处理骨肿瘤细胞系后,采用流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡率,RT-PCR技术以及免疫印迹技术检测Bax的mRNA及蛋白水平的表达变化。结果大蒜素处理后骨肉瘤细胞凋亡率明显升高,并呈剂量依赖性;且细胞内的Bax的mRNA及蛋白表达均显著升高(P<0.05)。结论大蒜素在体外可诱导多种骨肉瘤细胞凋亡,可能与上调Bax的表达,促进细胞色素c的释放有关;大蒜素有望成为一种新的治疗骨肉瘤的化疗药物。     

大蒜素降血脂作用及其机理研究

目的：探讨大蒜素的降血脂作用及其机理。方法：将50只昆明种小鼠随机分成5组，对照组、高脂饲料组（模型组）、大蒜素小、中、大剂量＋高脂饲料组。测定大蒜素对血清甘油三酯（TG）、总胆固醇（TC）、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（HDL-C）以及低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（LDL-C）的影响。测定大蒜素对血清卵磷脂胆固醇脂酰基转移酶（LCAT）、心肌脂蛋白脂酶（LPL）、肝脂酶（HL）活性的影响以及体外对肝脏3-羟基-3-甲基戊二酰CoA（HMG-CoA）还原酶活性的影响。离体胆固醇微胶粒形成实验。结果：大蒜素明显降低喂以高脂饲料小鼠血清TC，TG及LDL-C水平，提高HDL-C含量，且作用与大蒜素剂量呈正相关。大蒜素在不同程度上可升高血清LCAT，心LPL和HL的活性，并在一定程度上降低肝脏HMG-CoA还原酶活性。大蒜素体外实验可抑制胆固醇微胶粒的形成。结论：大蒜素有显著的降血脂效应，其机理一方面可能是促进了脂蛋白之间的代谢与转化，另外可能是因为抑制了肠道胆固醇的吸收、减少了肝脏胆固醇的合成、促进了血清和肝脏甘油三酯的分解。     

Mecanismos moleculares de los efectos benéficos de la alicina sobre la enfermedad cardiovascular

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) include a group of diseases whose common denominator is the affection of the blood vessels, heart, and heart rate. The treatment of CVD represents high costs to the health systems and is focused on the control of risk factors. Despite the existence of a great variety of treatments of the CVD, these continue as the main cause of mortality mainly due to the multifactorial origin, and therefore more than one drug is required. In this context, allicin, a compound derived from garlic, has shown regulate the expression of signaling pathways and risk factors associated with the progression of CVD. Therefore, the objective of this work is to review the cellular and molecular mechanisms through which allicin exert its therapeutic effects and to describe the scientific evidences why allicin represents a potential candidate to assist in the treatment of CVD.     

The effect of allicin on the ventricular myocytes of rabbit with heart failure北大核心CSCD

Objective To observe the effect of allicin on the action potential duration (APD) and L-type calcium current (ICa, L) in the ventricular myocytes of rabbits with heart failure in order to explore the mechanisms of therapeutic effect of allicin on cardiac arrhythmias complicated with heart failure. Methods Forty-five New Zealand White male rabbits were randomly (random number) assigned to 3 groups (n=15 in each group): sham operated group (sham group), heart failure group (HF group), and heart failure treated with allicin group (HF+AU group). The rabbit heart failure model was established by abdominal aortic constriction coupled with aortic regurgitation, the ventricular myocytes were obtained by enzyme double digestion, and the whole cell clamp was used to record action potential and calcium current.The action potential duration (APD), ICa, L and gating mechanism were observed during heart failure and allicin administered. Data were processed with pCLAMP version 10.2. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 17.0. Comparisons among groups were carried out using ANOVA, and SNK-g was used for multiple comparison as post-hoc. Results (1) Prolonged APD was found during heart failure, APD50 was prolonged from (93.4±4.7) ms in sham group to (115.5±6.2) ms in HF group (P<0.01). After administration of allicin 30 umol/L, APD50 was shortened to (105.2±5.5) ms (P<0.05). (2) The density of ICa, L increased during heart failure, peak current density increased increased from (-8.4±0.6) pA/pF in sham group to (-15.1±1.1) pA/pF while 0 mV attained at depolarizations (P<0.01). After administration of allicin 30 μmol/L, the current density reduced to (-10.1±0.8) pA/pF (P<0.01). The effect of allicin presented in both voltage dependent and consentration dependent manner. (3) According to the gating mechanism study, the main mechanism of lowering the density of ICa, L by allicin after heart failure was the acceleration of the steady inactivation of the channel, and the de-escalation of the recovery kinetic after the inactivation of the channel. Conclusions Allcin can be used to reduce the calcium current of ventricular myocytes in animal heart failure model, it has the potential of clinical use in treating cardiac arrhythmias during heart failure. © 2018 Chinese Medical Association.

Mechanisms underlying the antihypertensive effects of garlic bioactives

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide with hypertension being a major contributing factor to cardiovascular disease–associated mortality. On a population level, non-pharmacological approaches, such as alternative/complementary medicine, including phytochemicals, have the potential to ameliorate cardiovascular risk factors, including high blood pressure. Several epidemiological studies suggest an antihypertensive effect of garlic (Allium sativum) and of many its bioactive components. The aim of this review is to present an in-depth discussion regarding the molecular, biochemical and cellular rationale underlying the antihypertensive properties of garlic and its bioactive constituents with a primary focus on S-allyl cysteine and allicin. Key studies, largely from PubMed, were selected and screened to develop a comprehensive understanding of the specific role of garlic and its bioactive constituents in the management of hypertension. We also reviewed recent advances focusing on the role of garlic bioactives, S-allyl cysteine and allicin, in modulating various parameters implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension. These parameters include oxidative stress, nitric oxide bioavailability, hydrogen sulfide production, angiotensin converting enzyme activity, expression of nuclear factor–κB and the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. This review suggests that garlic and garlic derived bioactives have significant medicinal properties with the potential for ameliorating hypertension and associated morbidity; however, further clinical and epidemiological studies are required to determine completely the specific physiological and biochemical mechanisms involved in disease prevention and management.     

Allicin protects rat cardiomyoblasts (H9c2 cells) from hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative injury through inhibiting the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species

Oxidative stress is considered an important factor that promotes cell death in response to a variety of pathophysiological conditions. This study investigated the antioxidant properties of allicin, the principle ingredient of garlic, on preventing oxidative stress-induced injury. The antioxidant capacities of allicin were measured by using 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)-induced cell damage on H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. Allicin (0.3–10?μM) pre-incubation could concentration-dependently attenuate the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) increase induced by H₂O₂ on H9c2 cells. It could also protect H9c2 cells against H₂O₂-induced cell damage. However, the DPPH free radical scavenging activity of allicin was shown to be low. Therefore, it is believed that the protective effect of allicin on H9c2 cells could inhibit intracellular ROS production instead of scavenging extracellular H₂O₂ or free radicals. For the observed protective effect on H9c2 cells, allicin might also be effective in reducing free radical-induced myocardial cell death in ischemic condition.     

Study on the Inhibitory Effect of Allicin on Human Gastric Cancer Cell Line SGC-7901 and Its Mechanism

Background

Allicin is the main active constituent of Allium sativum L., which is characterized by broad antibacterial spectrum (MarkosN et al., 2008; Chen et al., 2008); it also has apparent inhibitory effects on a variety of tumors. The Objective of the paper is to study the inhibitory effect of allicin on human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901.

Materials and Methods

MTT assay and flow cytometry technique were applied to determine the inhibition rate of allicin on human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901. The results shows that different concentrations of allicin apparently inhibited the gastric cancer SGC7901 cells, cell growth inhibition rates in the experimental groups showed an upward trend with increased allicin concentration, which were concentration-dependent.

Results

Flow cytometry results found that the cell cycle was arrested in the G2/M phase. Allicin has an apparent inhibitory effect on proliferation of gastric cancer cells, and can induce their apoptosis.

Conclusion

Compared with other chemotherapeutic drugs, allicin''s anti-tumor effect is better; and toxic and side effects are relatively small.
