The modulating effect of polysaccharides isolated from PG on the benzo(a)pyrene (BaP)-induced forestomach carcinogenesis in ICR female mice was investigated in this study.METHODS: A forestomach carcinogenesis model was established in 40 ICR female mice receiving oral administration of BaP for 4 wk. The mice were randomly assigned to 4 groups (10 each). The mice in each group were treated with sterile water or PG for 4 and 8 wk (SW4,PGW4, SW8, and PGW8 groups). Eight or 12 wk after the first dose of BaP, forestomachs were removed for histopathological and RT-PCR analysis.RESULTS: In histopathological changes and RT-PCR analysis, sterile water-treated mice showed significant hyperplasia of the gastric mucosa with a significantly increased expression of mutant p53 mRNA compared to mice treated with PG for 8 wk.CONCLUSION: Polysaccharides isolated from PG may inhibit BaP-induced forestomach carcinogenesis in mice bydown-regulating mutant p53 expression.展开更多

METHODS： IEC were divided into control group, lipopolysaccharide （LPS） group, LPS＋ 50 μg/mL APS group, LPS＋ 100 μg/mL APS group, LPS＋ 200 μg/mL APS group, and LPS＋ 500 μg/mL APS group. Levels of mRNAs in LPS-induced inflammatory factors, tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α and interleukin （IL）-8, were measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. MAPK protein level was measured by Western blotting. RESULTS： The levels of TNF-α and IL-8 mRNAs were significantly higher in IEC with LPS-induced damage than in control cells. APS significantly abrogated the LPS-induced expression of the TNF-α and IL-8 genes. APS did not block the activation of extracellular signal- regulated kinase or c Jun amino-terminal kinase, but inhibited the activation of p38, suggesting that APS inhibits LPS-induced production of TNF-α and IL-8 mRNAs, possibly by suppressing the p38 signaling pathway.CONCLUSION： APS-modulated bacterial productmediated p38 signaling represents an attractive strategy for prevention and treatment of intestinal inflammation.展开更多

[Method] Taking immunosuppressive mice induced by 80 mg/kg cyclophosphamide as test animal model, effects of different doses （100,200 and 400 mg/kg） of YPF-P on spleen index, serum IL-2 and IFN-γ levels of mice were studied. [ Result] High dose of YPF-P （400 mg/kg） could improve the spleen index of immunosuppressive mice （P 〈0.05）. YPF-P could enhance serum IL-2 and IFN-γ levels of immunosuppressive mice, and the effects in middle-dose group and low-dose group were better. YPF-P could significantly increase serum IL-2 level of normal mice （ P 〈 0.01 ）, but it had no significant effect on serum IFN-γ level of normal mice. [ Conclusion] The research provides an experimental basis for clinical application of YPF-P.展开更多
