Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) was subjected to ultrasonic degradation under the controlled conditions, such as, temperature, irradiation time, initial pH value, and concentration of solution. The ultrasonic degradation of LBP was demonstrated by the changes of intrinsic viscosity. Viscometry was used to study the degradation behavior and a kinetic model was developed to estimate the degradation rate. The results showed that the degradation rate was reduced with the increase of solution concentration and pH, and increased with increase of temperature. The relationship between the number average molar mass (Mn) and intrinsic viscosities as interpreted using the Mark‐Houwink equation suggested that LBP adopted a flexible coil conformation in aqueous solution. The activation energy of ultrasonic degradation of LBP is 26.5 kJ/mol, which indicates that the ultrasonic degradation is a convenient, time saving, and cost‐efficient method for obtaining a desired molecular weight. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This study evaluated the protective effects of aqueous extract of Lycium barbarum (LBAE) and ethanol extract of Lycium barbarum (LBEE) on blood lipid levels, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities and liver tissue antioxidant enzyme activities in rats fed a high fat diet (HF). The rats were randomly divided into seven groups of ten rats each and fed a different diet for eight weeks as follows: One group (NC group) was fed a standard diet, one group was fed a high-fat diet (HF group), one group was fed a high-fat diet and orally fed with 20 mg/kg b.w. simvastatin (HF + simvastatin group), and the other group was fed the high fat diet and orally fed with 50 mg/kg b.w. or 100 mg/kg b.w. LBAE (HF + LBAE), or 50 mg/kg b.w. or 100 mg/kg b.w. LBEE (HF + LBEE), respectively. After eight weeks, the HF diet caused deleterious metabolic effects. Rats fed the HF diet alone showed increased hepatocellular enzyme activities in plasma, a significant decline in antioxidant enzyme activities, and elevated liver lipid peroxidation indices. LBAE and LBEE administration significantly reduced liver damage and oxidative changes, and brought back the antioxidants and lipids towards normal levels. These data suggest that these antioxidants protect against toxicity parameters in HF rats.  相似文献

The major aim of this work was to investigate how alcohol-induced oxidative stress in combined chemotherapy changes the metabolic function of the liver in experimental animals. This research was conducted to establish how bromocriptine, haloperidol and azithromycin, applied to the experimental model, affected the antioxidative status of the liver. The following parameters were determined: reduced glutathione, activities of glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, peroxidase, catalase, xanthine oxidase and lipid peroxidation intensity. Alanine transaminase was measured in serum. Alcohol stress (AO group) reduced glutathione and the activity of xanthine oxidase and glutathione peroxidase, but increased catalase and alanine transaminase activity. The best protective effect was achieved with the bromocriptine (AB1 group), while other groups had similar effects on the studied parameters.  相似文献

Polysaccharides can anti-virus, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1),[1] herpes simplex virus (HSV-1,HSV-2) and cytomegalovirus. Some of them are sulfates, e.g. dextran sulfate, heparin, sulfonation of chitosan and sulfated derivatives of Lentinan. Our results showed that sulfated derivatives of Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP)have anti-HIV activity. Because the anti-HIV activity of LBP was deeply dependent on the molecular weight, the sulfation pattern and glycosidic branches besides degree of sulfation (DS), so we emphasized our work on the factors of DS.  相似文献

Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) in addition to modifying inorganic nanoparticles shows different biological functions such as anti-cancer, antibacterial, and anti-aging performances. However, the potential mechanism of LBP on inhibition of cancer cell proliferation, particularly gastric cancer (GC), remains unknown. The goal of this study was to show how LBP induces its anti-cancer effects through regulation of the miR-202-5p/PIK3CA axis in GC. The MTT assay was used to assess the viability of AGT and GES-1 cells. Using quantitative real-time PCR we assessed miR-202-5p expression in AGS, BCG-823, GES-1, MKN-45, and SGC-790a cells. AGS cells were transfected with miR-202-5p, an inhibitor, and a small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting PIK3CA. To show whether miR-202-5p directly targets PIK3CA, the luciferase reporter assay was used. Also, to assess protein levels of PIK3CA/AKT/mTOR, Bax/Bcl-2, Cleaved Caspase-3, and MMP9 and GC cell migration ability, western blot and transwell assays were used, respectively. The results showed that LBP decreased GC cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, GC cell treatment with LBP substantially decreased cell proliferation and migration, while increased GC cell apoptosis. LBP induced the upregulation of caspase-3/7 and miR-202-5p in GC cells and directly and functionally targets PIK3CA, as verified by luciferase assay and anti-miR-202-5p’s capability to reverse the inhibitory effects of LBP on PIK3CA. LBP was also shown to decrease the expression of PIK3CA downstream members such as AKT and mTOR through miR-202-5p up-regulation. Anti-cancer properties of LBP in GC cells are possibly due to the up-regulation of miR-202, which inhibits the PIK3CA/AKT/mTOR axis.  相似文献

The fruit of Lycium barbarum L. (goji berry) is used as traditional Chinese medicine, and has the functions of immune regulation, anti-tumor, neuroprotection, anti-diabetes, and anti-fatigue. One of the main bioactive components is L. barbarum polysaccharide (LBP). Nowadays, LBP is widely used in the health market, and it is extracted from the fruit of L. barbarum. The planting of L. barbarum needs large amounts of fields, and it takes one year to harvest the goji berry. The efficiency of natural LBP production is low, and the LBP quality is not the same at different places. Goji berry-derived LBP cannot satisfy the growing market demands. Engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used for the biosynthesis of some plant natural products. Recovery of LBP biosynthetic pathway in L. barbarum and expression of them in engineered S. cerevisiae might lead to the yeast LBP production. However, information on LBP biosynthetic pathways and the related key enzymes of L. barbarum is still limited. In this review, we summarized current studies about LBP biosynthetic pathway and proposed the strategies to recover key enzymes for LBP biosynthesis. Moreover, the potential application of synthetic biology strategies to produce LBP using engineered S. cerevisiae was discussed.  相似文献

The present study examines the effect of methanolic extract of T. violacea rhizomes on high cholesterol (2%) diet fed rats (HCD). At the end of 4 weeks, serum total protein, albumin, reduced glutathione (GSH), and markers of oxidative stress viz., catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS--a marker of lipid peroxidation), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in the serum, aorta, liver and heart of HCD and normal rats were assessed and compared. A significant (p < 0.05) elevation in TBARS, and a reduction (p < 0.05) in serum total protein, albumin, GSH and antioxidant enzyme activities was observed in tissues of HCD fed rats compared with the normal group. Co-administration of crude extracts of T. violacea rhizomes protected the liver, heart, serum and aorta against HCD-induced lipid peroxidation in a dose dependant manner. The activities of the extract (500 mg/kg) compared favorably with gemfibrozil. The extracts also protected against HCD-induced reduction in serum total protein, GSH and restored the activities of antioxidant tissues (liver, heart and aorta) enzymes to near normal values. This result suggested that consumption of T. violacea rhizome may help to protect against hypercholesterolemia- induced oxidative stress diseases in the heart and liver.  相似文献

A system for transformation and regeneration of Lycium barbarum L. , an important Chinese medical plant, has been established. Young stem segments from Lycium barbarum L. were infected with Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58cl(pGV3850: :ineo1130), and the transformed calli selected from the callus induction medium containing 50 fig/ml kanamycin could regenerate buds on differentiation medium containing 25 μg/ml kanamycin. 30% of the regenerated buds were normal in morphology. The normal buds could develop into whole plantlets after they were transferred to the rooting medium to induce roots. Nopa-line detection, NPT-Ⅱ enzyme activity assay and Southern blotting hybridization indicated that the foreign genes had been integrated into the genome of Lycium barbarum L. and expressed in the plant. In the processes of experiments, it was found that (i) after the pre-processes, the explants which formed callus quickly were easy to transform ; (Ⅱ) the rate of normal regenerated plants from transgenic calli was hig  相似文献

Camphor and borneol are wildly distributed in the essential oils of medicinal plants from various parts of the World. Our study has been carried out to evaluate the effect of these two bicyclic monoterpenes on rat thymocytes. Camphor and borneol at concentrations of 0.5 and 5 μg/mL did not induce significant toxicity on the immune system cells, while a significant increase of thymocyte viability was detected when cells were incubated with 50 μg/mL of camphor. A significant increase of cell viability was similarly detected when thymocytes were cultivated with borneol at concentrations of 0.5 and 5 μg/mL. The role of camphor and borneol in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) disturbances in rat thymocytes as well as their potential mechanism(s) of action were also discussed.  相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been implicated as an inducer of NF-kappaB activity in numbers of cell types where exposure of cells to ROS such as H(2)O(2) leads to NF-kappaB activation. In contrast, exposure to oxidative stress in certain cell types induced reduction of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- induced NF-kappaB activation. And various thiol-modifying agents including gold compounds and cyclopentenone prostaglandins inhibit NF-kappaB activation by blocking IkappaB kinase (IKK). To understand such conflicting effect of oxidative stress on NF- kappakB activation, HeLa cells were incubated with H(2)O(2) or diamide and TNF-induced expression of NF-kappaB reporter gene was measured. NF-kappaB activation was significantly blocked by these oxidizing agents, and the inhibition was accompanied with reduced nuclear NF-kappaB and inappropriate cytosolic IkappaB degradation. H(2)O(2) and diamide also inhibited IKK activation in HeLa and RAW 264.7 cells stimulated with TNF and lipopolysaccharide, respectively, and directly blocked IKK activity in vitro. In cells treated with H(2)O(2) alone, nuclear NF-kappaB was induced after 2 h without detectable degradation of cytosolic IkappaBalphaa or activation of IKK. Our results suggest that ROS has a dual effect on NF-kappaB activation in the same HeLa cells: it inhibits acute IKK-mediated NF-kappakB activation induced by inflammatory signals, while longer-term exposure to ROS induces NF-kappaB activity through an IKK-independent pathway.  相似文献

The subject of this study was inducing somatic embryogenesis in the callus of Lycium barbarum L., The uptake rate of several metal ions in somatic embryogenesis was investigated by multitracer techniques. It was found that some metal ions changed the somatic embryogenesis dynamically. The uptake rates of metal ions were different from each other and exert mutual effect, mutual influence and mutual restriction. It was shown that metal ions were selectively absorbed on embryonic cell in the differentiation and division stages. Moreover, they give us a more detailed information on the behavior of trace elements in plants. We discussed some possibly mechanism of regular cell development, involving metal ions.  相似文献

Vascular retinopathy is a pathological change in the retina caused by ocular or systemic vascular diseases that can lead to blurred vision and the risk of blindness. Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBPs) are extracted from the fruit of traditional Chinese medicine, L. barbarum. They have strong biological activities, including immune regulation, antioxidation, and neuroprotection, and have been shown to improve vision in numerous studies. At present, there is no systematic literature review of LBPs on vascular retinal prevention and treatment. We review the structural characterization and extraction methods of LBPs, focus on the mechanism and pharmacokinetics of LBPs in improving vascular retinopathy, and discuss the future clinical application and lack of work. LBPs are involved in the regulation of VEGF, Rho/ROCK, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, Nrf2/HO-1, AGEs/RAGE signaling pathways, which can alleviate the occurrence and development of vascular retinal diseases in an inflammatory response, oxidative stress, apoptosis, autophagy, and neuroprotection. LBPs are mainly absorbed by the small intestine and stomach and excreted through urine and feces. Their low bioavailability in vivo has led to the development of novel dosage forms, including multicompartment delivery systems and scaffolds. Data from the literature confirm the medicinal potential of LBPs as a new direction for the prevention and complementary treatment of vascular retinopathy.  相似文献

One main fraction of Selenium-enriched Pleurotus ostreatus (P. ostreatus) polysaccharide (Se-POP-1) was extracted and purified by DEAE-52 and sephadex G-100. Se-POP-1 was an approximate homogenous polysaccharide with an average molecular weight of 1.62 × 104 Da, and mainly composed of glucose, mannose and galactose, with molar ratio of 5.30:1.55:2.14. The absorption peaks at 941 cm?1 and 1048 cm?1 in FT-IR analysis were ascribed as C-O-Se and Se=O bonds. Pr-treatment of Se-POP-1 (400 μg/mL) increased the cell survival of H2O2-stimulated PC12 cells and inhibited intrinsic apoptosis and oxidative stress in H2O2-stimulated PC12 cells via limiting DNA degradation and decreasing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In addition, up-regulation of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, down- regulation of pro-apoptotic protein Bax, cleaved caspase 3, and cytochrome c were also observed. Se-POP-1 presented an obvious effect to alleviate oxidative damage and apoptosis in PC12 cells induced by H2O2. Therefore, Se-POP-1 possessed potent antioxidant and biological activities with the ability to prevent oxidation via scavenging ROS and free radicals in cells. It could be developed as organic selenium dietary supplement and functional food.  相似文献

An analytical method was developed to determine 14 organophosphorus pesticide residues in Lycium barbarum, which is both a botanical medicine and a food. A 5 g sample is mixed with 10 mL ethyl acetate and, after shaking and centrifuging, 5 mL of the upper layer is removed, concentrated, and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) with flame photometric detection. The essential feature of this method is that, for the purpose of reducing the burden of the GC system, 0.01 g activated carbon is used to absorb pigments during the cleanup procedure. Average recoveries of 14 organophosphorus pesticides added at 0.05, 0.1, and 0.5 mg/kg were 66.84-102.42, 71.07-97.93, and 62.50-96.24%, respectively. Limits of detection ranged from 5 to 15 microg/kg. The identities of the 14 pesticides were confirmed by GC/mass spectrometry detection in the selected-ion monitoring mode. This method is sensitive, simple, rapid, inexpensive, and safe.  相似文献

采用高效液相色谱-二极管阵列检测方法,初步分离了枸杞子中的类胡萝卜素。以乙腈-二氯甲烷(体积比为60∶40)为流动相,流速为1.0 mL/min,用C18柱从枸杞类胡萝卜素中分离出7个峰。但由于类胡萝卜素的结构多样性,尤其是顺反异构体的出现使得分离并不完全。利用所得三维数据提供的信息和化学计量学方法直观推导式演进特征投影法(HELP),对其中某些在二维色谱中被定性为单组分的峰进行解析,结果发现原来在二维色谱中被定性为单组分的峰大多是一些多组分峰。以其中第4个峰为例对其进行解析,得到了该类胡萝卜素的同分异构体色谱流出曲线及紫外光谱信息。该方法表明,化学计量学方法与现代分析手段有机结合,大大降低了此类复杂体系对色谱分离的要求,对同分异构体的分析具有一定的借鉴和指导意义。  相似文献

It has been confirmed that diabetes mellitus (DM) carries increased oxidative stress. This study evaluated the effects of salidroside from Rhodiolae Radix on diabetes-induced oxidative stress in mice. After induction of diabetes, diabetic mice were administered daily doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg salidroside for 28 days. Body weights, fasting blood glucose (FBG), serum insulin, TC (total cholesterol), TG (triglyceride), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) were measured. Results showed that salidroside possessed hypoglycemic activity and protective effects against diabetes-induced oxidative stress, which could significantly reduce FBG, TC, TG and MDA levels, and at same time increase serum insulin levels, SOD, GPx and CAT activities. Therefore, salidroside should be considered as a candidate for future studies on diabetes.  相似文献
