Analysis of the Constituents and Antisenile Function of Achyranthes bidentata Polysaccharides

Achyranthes bidentata polysaccharides (ABPS), water_soluble polysaccharides, isolated from the roots of Achyranthes bidentata Bl. of Amaranthaceae family, was divided into four parts, named as Con.1, Con.2, Con.3 and Con.4, respectively, by chromatography on DEAE_Sepharose fast_flow column and Sephadex G_100 column in order. Con.1 was the constituent of high molecular weight and the other three were all of low molecular weight. Micro_Kjeldahl analysis showed that Con.1 contained 3.95% of nitrogen and neither did the other three parts. The antisenile effects of the four parts of ABPS were studied with Drosophila melanogaster. Results showed that Con.1 has no antisenile effect and all the others could significantly increase the average body weight by 3.85%-5.47% and significantly prolonged the average lifespan by 2.61%- 3.16% of D. melanogaster at the concentration of 2 or 5 mg/g (ABPS/medium).

Conclusions ABP and LBP could inhibit nonenzyme glycation in D-galactose induced mouse aging model in vivo and ABP has a better inhibiting effect than LBP.

Achyranthes bidentata polypeptides prevent apoptosis by inhibiting the glutamate current in cultured hippocampal neurons

Glutamate-induced excitotoxicity plays a critical role in the neurological impairment caused by middle cerebral artery occlusion.Achyranthes bidentata polypeptides have been shown to protect against neurological functional damage caused by middle cerebral artery occlusion,but the underlying neuroprotective mechanisms and the relationship to glutamate-induced excitotoxicity remain unclear.Therefore,in the current study,we investigated the protective effects of Achyranthes bidentata polypeptides against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity in cultured hippocampal neurons.Hippocampal neurons were treated with Mg^2+-free extracellular solution containing glutamate(300μM)for 3 hours as a model of glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity(glutamate group).In the normal group,hippocampal neurons were incubated in Mg^2+-free extracellular solution.In the Achyranthes bidentata polypeptide group,hippocampal neurons were incubated in Mg^2+-free extracellular solution containing glutamate(300μM)and Achyranthes bidentata polypeptide at different concentrations.At 24 hours after exposure to the agents,3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and Hoechst 33258 staining were used to assess neuronal viability and nuclear m'orphology,respectively.Caspase-3 expression and activity were evaluated using western blot assay and colorimetric enzymatic assay,respectively.At various time points after glutamate treatment,reactive oxygen species in cells were detected by H2 DCF-DA,and mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by rhodamine 123 staining.To examine the effect of Achyranthes bidentata polypeptides on glutamate receptors,electrophysiological recording was used to measure the glutamate-induced inward current in cultured hippocampal neurons.Achyranthes bidentata polypeptide decreased the percentage of apoptotic cells and reduced the changes in caspase-3 expression and activity induced by glutamate.In addition,Achyranthes bidentata polypeptide attenuated the amplitude of the glutamate-induced current.Furthermore,the glutamate-induced increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species and reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential were attenuated by Achyranthes bidentata polypeptide treatment.These findings collectively suggest that Achyranthes bidentata polypeptides exert a neuroprotective effect in cultured hippocampal neurons by suppressing the overactivation of glutamate receptors and inhibiting the caspase-3-dependent mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.All animal studies were approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee,Nantong University,China(approval No.20120216-001)on February 16,2012.

The Achyranthes bidentata polypeptide k fraction enhances neuronal growth in vitro and promotes peripheral nerve regeneration after crush injury in vivo

We have previously shown that Achyranthes bidentata polypeptides （ABPP）, isolated from Achyranthes bidentata Blume （a medicinal herb）, exhibit neurotrophic and neuroprotective effects on the nervous system. To identify the major active component of ABPP, and thus optimize the use of ABPP, we used reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography to separate ABPP. We obtained 12 fractions, among which the fraction of ABPPk demonstrated the strongest neuroactivity. Immunocytochemistry and western blot analysis showed that ABPPk promoted neurite growth in cultured dorsal root ganglion explant and dorsal root ganglion neurons, which might be associated with activation of Erk1/2. A combination of behavioral tests, electrophysiological assessment, and histomorphometric analysis indicated that ABPPk enhanced nerve regeneration and function restoration in a mouse model of crushed sciatic nerve. All the results suggest that ABPPk, as the key component of ABPP, can be used for peripheral nerve repair to yield better outcomes than ABPP.

This study is expected to provide a certain basis for further extraction of linoleic acid and inokosterone A.

Protective effects of Achyranthes bidentata polypeptides on retinal ganglion cells post-optic nerve crush in rats

Achyranthes bidentata polypeptides（ABPP） have been reported to inhibit apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells（RGCs）.The present study investigated the protective effects of ABPP on RGCs in a rat model of optic nerve injury.With prolonged injury time,RGC densities were gradually decreased.ABPP（5 μg） significantly increased RGC densities and upregulated growth associated protein 43 expression in rats with optic nerve injury.Results demonstrate that ABPP can protect RGCs and promote axonal growth after optic nerve crush.

Achyranthes bidentata polypeptide protects dopaminergic neurons from apoptosis induced by rotenone and 6-hydroxydopamine

It has been well documented that Achyranthes bidentata polypeptides（ABPPs） are potent neuroprotective agents in several types of neurons. However, whether ABPPs protect dopaminergic neurons from apoptosis induced by neurotoxins is still unknown. This study was designed to observe the effect of ABPPk, a purified fraction of ABPPs, on apoptosis of dopaminergic neurons. SH-5YHY cells and primary dopaminergic neurons were pre-treated with ABPPk（25, 50, or 100 ng/mL） for 12 hours. Cells were then exposed to 6-hydroxydopamine（50 or 150 μM） or rotenone（50 or 200 μM） for 36 hours to induce cell apoptosis. Our results demonstrate that ABPPk markedly increased viability in SH-SY5Y cells and primary dopaminergic neurons, decreased lactate dehydrogenase activity and number of apoptotic dopaminergic neurons, elevated mitochondrial membrane potential, and increased Bcl-2/Bax ratio. These findings suggest that ABPPk protects dopaminergic neurons from apoptosis, and that ABPPk treatment might be an effective intervention for treating dopaminergic neuronal loss associated with disorders such as Parkinson＇s disease.
