Potentilla anserine L. polysaccharide protects against cadmium-induced neurotoxicity

Cadmium is a toxic metal that can damage the brain and other organs. This study aimed to explore the protective effects of Potentilla anserine L. polysaccharide (PAP) against CdCl₂-induced neurotoxicity in N2a and SH-SY5Y cells and in the cerebral cortex of BALB/c mice. In addition, we aimed to identify the potential mechanisms underlying these protective effects. Relative to CdCl₂ treatment alone, pretreatment with PAP prevented the reduction in cell viability evoked by CdCl₂, decreased rates of apoptosis, promoted calcium homeostasis, decreased ROS accumulation, increased mitochondrial membrane potential, inhibited cytochrome C and AIF release, and prevented the cleavage of caspase-3 and PARP. In addition, PAP significantly decreased the CdCl₂-induced phosphorylation of CaMKII, Akt, and mTOR. In conclusion, PAP represents a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of Cd-induced neurotoxicity, functioning in part via attenuating the activation of the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway and the Ca²⁺-CaMKII-dependent Akt/mTOR pathway.

硫酸多糖对体外人脐静脉内皮细胞损伤的保护作用

研究表明,硫酸多糖体外对多聚阳离子和氧自由基损伤的人脐静脉内皮细胞有保护作用。肝素、硫酸软骨素A抗多聚阳离子损伤作用比同浓度低分子肝素和甘糖酯强。肝素、硫酸软骨素A、甘糖酯抗氧自由基损伤作用优于同浓度低分子肝素。结果显示硫酸多糖有保护血管内皮的作用,其作用可能与所带阴离子基团有关。

Influence of Size, Dosage, and Surface Structure on Clearance and Tissue Distribution of Intravenous Microspheres

Intravenously injected polystyrene microspheres with functional amino groups (AP-MSs, 0.2,1.0, and 4.0 urn in diameter) were cleared from the blood very rapidly. The calculated half-lives for 0.2-, 1.0-, and 4.0-μm AP-MSs were about 55,60, and 50s; no significant differences were found with 10⁶,10⁷, and 10⁸ microspheres/rat. Loading experiments showed that the liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and heart had a very high capacity to take up AP-MSs. The AP-MSs were distributed mainly to the liver, lung, and spleen, whereas other organs contained less than 1 % of injected AP-MSs. In terms of numbers of AP-MSs per gram of tissue, the highest contents were found in spleen, liver, and lung for 0.2-, 1.0-, and 4.0-um AP-MSs, respectively. There was indication of redistribution of particles from one organ to another during the first 6 h after injection. Chondroitin sulfate A (Chon) and hyaluronic acid (Hya) adsorbed or covalently linked to AP-MSs increased uptake in the liver, with Chon AP-MSs (adsorbed or linked) showing the best effect: about 25% increase compared with unadsorbed 1-μm AP-MSs. Experiments with separated cells in vitro demonstrated that 1 um AP-MSs, intravenously injected, associated only with Kupffer cells. When the microspheres were adsorbed with Chon, there was also association with liver endothelial cells. This finding indicates that conjugation of microspheres with ligands for endothelial receptors may be a useful method for directing microspheres to specific organs, even if the receptors are not by themselves phagocytic     

体外丹参、藻酸双酯钠对脑血栓形成患者红细胞与内皮细胞粘附的影响

丹参、藻酸双酯钠是临床治疗脑血管病的常用药。本研究发现，在体外流场中用丹参、藻酸双酯钠分别处理脑血栓形成病人的红细胞后，此红细胞与培养的人脉静脉内皮细胞的粘附数目明显减少、粘附强度明显减弱；而且，在临床常用剂量下藻酸双酯钠的这种抗粘附作用优于丹参。认为丹参、藻酸双酯钠的这种抗粘附作用可能是临床用以治疗脑血栓形成的一个重要机理。
