OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of Panax quinquefo/ium saponins (PQS) on multiple factors-induced Ca^2+ overload in the rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cell line. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Intergroup comparison, in vitro study. The experiment was performed at the Heilongjiang Key Laboratory of Anti-fibrosis Biotherapy, Mudanjiang Medical University between November 2007 and April 2008. MATERIALS- In vitro cultured PC12 cells in the logarithmic phase were assigned into blank control, model, and drug treatment groups (10 μmol/L nimodipine; 40 μg/L, 100 μg/L, and 250 μg/L PQS). Nimodipine was purchased from Jiangsu Yangtze River Pharmacy Group Co., China; PQS (purity 〉 95%, HLPC grade) was provided by School of Basic Medical Sciences, Jilin University. Caffeine, Na2S2O4, L-glutamic acid (Glu), Fura-2/AM, and calcium ionophore A23187 were purchased from Sigma, USA. METHODS: PC12 cells in the model and drug treatment groups were separately incubated in glucose-free Hank's buffered saline solution + Na2S2O4 (2 mmol/L) for 6 hours, Glu (200 μmot/L) plus A23187 (0.05 μmol/L) for 6 hours, KCI (50 mmol/L) for 1 hour, and caffeine (5 mmol/L) for 3 hours to establish models of intracellular Ca^2+ overload induced by oxygen and glucose deprivation, Glu, A23187, high K+, or caffeine. In addition, control cells were incubated in high-glucose DMEM culture medium. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: [Ca^2+]i changes in PC12 cells exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation, Glu, A23187, high K^+, or caffeine were detected using spectrofluorometer. RESULTS: PQS blocked the [Ca^2+]i increase induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation, Glu, A23187, high K+, or caffeine. In particular, high-dose PQS was most effective (P 〈 0.01). PQS significantly inhibited Glu- or caffeine-induced [Ca^2+]i increases in the absence of extracellular Ca^2+, but nimodipine did not. CONCLUSION: PQS blocked intracellular Ca^2+ overload induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation, Glu, A23187, high K^+, or caffeine. This mechanism might be involved in the attenuation of neuronal apoptosis following ischemic brain injury.展开更多

The baseline separation of ginsenosides Rb_1,Rb_2,Rb_1,Rc,Rd,Rf,Ro,and Re+Rg_1 was obtained in one analytical run.The ginsenosides are directly detected at 203 nm.The detection limit is 40μg at a signal to noise ratio of 3:1.The improved sample preparation and clean-up prior to injection with SEP-PAK C_(18)cartridge strongly reduced the front peaks caused by the impurities in the methanolic extracts of samples to afford a smooth baseline and clear background.The HPLC patterns of methanolic extracts mainly including the ginsenosides were found capable of serving as chemical fingerprints to differentiate the three species from each other.It was also found that there are no significant diffe- rences of the HPLC patterns between the wild Panax ginseng and the cultivated,the white and the red ginsengs,Chinese and Korean red ginsengs,and the tap roots of Panax ginseng collected in four consecutive months,only certain differences in contents of ginsenosides do exist.The contents of the nine major ginsenosides present in the rhizome,tap root and rootlet as well as the leaf of Panax quinquefolium were also determined and compared.展开更多
