Effects of salvianolic acid-A on NIH/3T3 fibroblast proliferation,collagen synthesis and gene expression

AIM To investigate the mechanisms ofsalvianolic acid A（SA-A）against liver fibrosisin vitro.METHODS NIH/3T3 fibroblasts were culturedroutinely,and incubated with 10-4mol/L-10-7mol/L SA-A for 22 h.The cell viability wasassayed by[3H]proline incorporation,cellproliferation by[3H]TdR incorporation,cellcollagen synthetic rate was measured with[3H]proline impulse and collagenase digestionmethod.The total RNA was prepared from thecontrol cells and the drug treated cellsrespectively,and α（1）I pro-collagen mRNAexpression was semi-quantitatively analyzedwith RT-PCR.RESULTS 10-4mol/L SA-A decreased cellviability and exerted some cytotoxiciy,while10-5mol/L-10-7mol/L SA-A did not affect cellviability,but inhibited cell proliferationsignificantly,and 10-6mol/L SA-A had the besteffect on cell viability among theseconcentrations of drugs.10-5mol/L-10-6mol/LSA-A inhibited intracellular collagen syntheticrate,but no significant influence on extracellularcollagen secretion.Both 10-5mol/L and10-6mol/L SA-A could decrease α（1）I pro-collagen mRNA expression remarkably.CONCLUSION SA-A had potent action againstliver fibrosis.It inhibited NIH/3T3 fibroblastproliferation,intracellular collagen syntheticrate and type I pro-collagen gene expression,which may be one of the main mechanisms of thedrug.

非自身标样定量测定DNTF的分析方法

为了在标准物质缺乏的情况下能够准确定量3,4-二硝基呋咱基氧化呋咱(DNTF),采用气相色谱-原子发射光谱(GC-AED)联用技术,建立了一种DNTF的非含能非自身标样定量测定方法;通过对比DNTF和5种非含能材料(二苯胺、苯甲酸、乙酰苯胺、DBS、DBP)的C元素标准曲线,选择相对定量响应因子最接近1的非含能材料作外标物定量DNTF的C元素,再结合分子式对DNTF进行定量。结果表明,苯甲酸的相对定量响应因子最接近1,用苯甲酸的C元素标准曲线定量DNTF的C元素,得到DNTF的C元素线性范围为17.43～426.92μg/mL,相关系数(r)为0.9992;以3倍信噪比计算检测限,得到DNTF的C元素方法检测限为0.0096μg/mL;相同条件下,DNTF在线性范围内高、中、低浓度下的加标回收率分别为104.9%,103.7%和109.4%,相对标准偏差分别为3.3%、1.1%和1.5%;该方法具有较好的准确度和精密度,可以实现在自身标准物质缺乏的情况下用非含能材料作外标物对DNTF的准确定量。
