天冬药材药理实验研究

目的:从天冬水提液、总多糖、总皂苷三种不同提取部位中初步筛选天冬药材的有效部位群。方法:以小鼠为研究对象,灌服不同剂量的以上三种提取液7d,进行低温游泳和常压缺氧实验,以对比给药小鼠免疫及抗应激能力。以D半乳糖致衰小鼠为研究对象,灌服不同剂量的以上三种提取液30d,以脑组织中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD),脑、肝组织中Na+·K+ATP酶、丙二醛(MDA)及血浆中MDA活性为评价指标,对比研究天冬不同提取部位的抗氧化能力。结果:天冬总多糖低、高剂量组能不同程度增加小鼠胸腺和脾脏重量;水提液低、高剂量组能显著增加小鼠耐缺氧时间(P<0.01);天冬水提液低、高剂量组和总多糖的高剂量组能增加小鼠在冰水中的游泳时间。与衰老模型组比较,天冬水提液高剂量组能提高衰老小鼠脑和肝组织中Na+·K+ATP酶活性;水提液低、高剂量组能不同程度降低衰老小鼠脑、肝和血浆中MDA的含量,天冬总多糖高剂量组能降低衰老小鼠肝组织中MDA含量(P<0.01)。结论:天冬水提液低剂量组和高剂量组具有提高小鼠对抗应激反应的能力,长期服用天冬水提液高剂量组能延缓小鼠由D半乳糖引起的衰老。天冬总多糖能不同程度增加小鼠胸腺和脾脏的重量,提高小鼠对抗应激反应的能力,并有一定的延缓衰老作用。天冬总皂苷在以上几项实验中作用均不明显。

Effect of bone marrow-derived monocytes transfected with RNA of mouse colon carcinoma on specific antitumor immunity

AIM: To investigate the effect of bone marrow-derived monocytes transfected with RNA of CT-26 (a cell line of mouse colon carcinoma) on antitumor immunity. METHODS: Mouse bone marrow-derived monocytes were incubated with mouse granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) in vitro, and the purity of monocytes was detected by flow cytometry. Total RNA of CT-26 was obtained by TRIzol's process, and monocytes were transfected by TransMessenger in vitro. The activity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in vivo was estimated by the modified lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay. Changes of tumor size in mice and animal's survival time were observed in different groups. RESULTS: Monocytes from mouse bone marrow were successfully incubated, and the positive rate of CDllb was over 95%. Vaccination of the monocytes transfected with total RNA induced a high level of specific CTL activity in vivo, and made mice resistant to the subsequent challenge of parental tumor cells. In vivo effects induced by monocytes transfected with total RNA were stronger than those induced by monocytes pulsed with tumor cell lysates. CONCLUSION: Antigen presenting cells transfected with total RNA of CT-26 can present endogenous? tumor antigens, activate CTL, and effectively induce specific antitumor immunity.
