Antioxidant and Anti-aging Activities of Silybum Marianum Protein Hydrolysate in Mice Treated with D-galactose

Objective In the present study, we investigated the antioxidant and anti‐aging effects of Silybum marianum protein hydrolysate（SMPH） in D‐galactose‐treated mice. Methods D‐galactose（500 mg/kg body weight） was intraperitoneally injected daily for 7 weeks to accelerate aging, and SMPH（400, 800, 1,200 mg/kg body weight, respectively） was simultaneously administered orally. The antioxidant and anti‐aging effects of SMPH in the liver and brain were measured by biochemical assays. Transmission electron microscopy（TEM） was performed to study the ultrastructure of liver mitochondria. Results SMPH decreased triglyceride and cholesterol levels in the D‐galactose‐treated mice. It significantly elevated the activities of superoxide dismutase（SOD） and glutathione peroxidase（GSH‐Px）, and total antioxidant capacity（T‐AOC）, which were suppressed by D‐galactose. Monoamine oxidase（MAO） and malondialdehyde（MDA） levels as well as the concentrations of caspase‐3 and 8‐OHd G in the liver and brain were significantly reduced by SMPH. Moreover, it increased Bcl‐2 levels in the liver and brain. Furthermore, SMPH significantly attenuated D‐galactose‐induced liver mitochondrial dysfunction by improving the activities of Na＋‐K＋‐ATPase and Ca2＋‐Mg2＋‐ATPase as well as mitochondrial membrane potential（ΔΨm） and fluidity. TEM showed that the degree of liver mitochondrial damage was significantly decreased by SMPH. Conclusion The results indicated that SMPH protects against D‐galactose‐induced accelerated aging in mice through its antioxidant and anti‐aging activities.

Protective Role of Salidroside against Aging in A Mouse Model Induced by D-galactose

Objective To investigate the protective effects of putative AGEs （advanced glycation endproducts） inhibitor salidroside against aging in an accelerated mouse aging model induced by D-galactose. Methods A group of 5-month-old C57BL/6J mice were treated daily with D-galactose, D-galactose combined with salidroside, salidroside alone, and control buffer for 8 weeks. At the end of the treatment, serum AGEs levels, neurological activities, expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein （GFAP） and neurotrophin-3 （NT-3） in the cerebral cortex, as well as lymphocyte proliferation and IL-2 production were determined. Results D-galactose induced mouse aging model was developed as described before. As expected, salidroside blocked D-galactose induced increase of serum AGEs levels. It also reversed D-galactose induced aging effects in neural and immune system, as evidenced by improving motor activity, increasing memory latency time, and enhancing lymphocyte mitogenesis and interleukin-2 （IL-2） production. Furthermore, elevated expression of GFAP and NT-3 in the aged model mice was also reduced upon salidroside treatment. Conclusion Salidroside inhibits AGEs formation in vivo, which at least partially contributes to its anti-aging effect in D-galactose induced aging model.

Objective To investigate the inhibiting effects and mechanism of achyranthes bidentata polysaccharide (ABP) and lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) on nonenzyme glycation in D-galactose induced mouse aging model. Methods Serum AGE levels were determined by AGE-ELISA, MTT method was used to determine lymphocyte proliferation, IL-2 activity was determined by a bioassay method. Spontaneous motor activity was used to detect mouse's neuromuscular movement, latency of step-through method was used to examine learning and memory abilities of mouse, colormetric assay was used to determine hydroxyproline concentration in mouse skin, pyrogallol autoxidation method was used to determine superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of erythrocytes. Results Decreased levels of serum AGE, hydroxyproline concentration in mouse skin and spontaneous motor activity in D-galactose mouse aging model were detected after treated with ABP or LBP, while lymphocyte proliferation and IL-2 activity, learning and memory abilities, SOD activity of erythrocytes, were enhanced. 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.

Bergapten attenuates D-galactose-induced immunosenescence in BALB/c mice

OBJECTIVE Bergapten(BG),is a furanocoumarin derived from herbal and citrus extracts can act as antioxidant and selective anticancer agents.The current study aimed to investigate whether bergapten would attenuate immunosenescence and to exploreits immunomodulatory effects on immune responses in D-galactose-induced aging BALB/c mice.METHODS Firstly,mice were given D-galactose(180 mg·kg^(-1)) subcutaneous injections for 30 d.To evaluate the establishment of the agingrelated effect in mice,serum samples of BALB/c mice were collected from tail vein.Aging BALB/c mice were freely divided into three groups:negative control group received 1% Tween 80 solution only,named D-gal group.Positive groups were received BG administration at the dose of 20 and 100 mg·kg^(-1),named D-gal+BG(20) group and D-gal+BG(100) group,respectively.Effects of bergapten on T lympho.cyte proliferation and flow cytometry were assessed by using the splenic cell suspension.Enzyme linked immunospot kits were used to quantitatively determine interferon-γ(IFN-γ) and interleukin-4(IL-4)levels of the isolated serum.Immunophenotype was determined by using mixture of antibodies includ.ing anti-CD3,anti-CD4,and anti-CD8.RESULTS Bergapten(20 mg·kg^(-1)) therapy can modulate immu.nity against viral epidemics and attenuate aging-induced immune deficiency(P<0.01),which was correlat.ed with the decline in the activation of the Th and Tc responses in D-galactose induced aging BALB/c mice.According to the in vivo results,bergapten exposure up-regulated the secretion of IFN-γ and IL-4 in T-helper 1(Th1) and T helper 2(Th2) cells(P<0.05,P<0.01).Additionally,BG(20 mg·kg^(-1)) restored antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in aging models(P<0.05,P<0.01),which may help to curing chronic infections.CONCLUSION The beneficial effect of bergapten in D-galactose induced aging BALB/c mice may be due to the Th and Tc responses activation.

Ginkgo biloba leaf extract improves the cognitive abilities of rats with D-galactose induced dementia

Standardized Ginkgo biloba leaf extract has been used in clinical trials for its beneficial effects on brain func- tions, particularly in dementia. Substantial experimental evidences indicated that Ginkgo biloba leaf extract （EGB） protected neuronal cells from a variety of insults. We investigated the effect of EGB on cognitive ability and protein kinase B （PKB） activity in hippocampal neuronal cells of dementia model rats. Rats received an intra- peritoneal injection of D-galactose to induce dementia. Forty-eight Spraque-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups, including the control group, D-galactose group （Gal）, low-dose EGB group （EGB-L）, mid-dose EGB group （EGB-M）, high-dose EGB group （EGB-H） and treatment group. The EGB-L, EGB-M and EGB-H groups were administered with EGB and D-galactose simultaneously. Y-maze, cresyl violet staining, TUNEL assays and immunohistochemistry staining were performed to detect learning and memory abilities, morpho- logical changes in the hippocampus, neuronal apoptosis and the expressing level of phospho-PKB, respectively. Rats in the Gal group showed decreased abilities of learning and memory, and hippocampal pyramidal cell layer was damaged, while EGB administration improved learning and memory abilities. The Gal group exhibited many stained, condensed nuclei and micronuclei, either isolated or within the cytoplasm of cells （39.5 ± 1.4）. Apoptotic cells decreased in the groups of EGB-L （35.9±0.9）, EGB-M （16.8± 1.0） and EGB-H （10.1±0.8）, and there were statistical significances compared with the Gal group. Immunoreactivity of phospho-PKB was localized diffusely throughout the cytosol of cells in all groups, while the immunoreactivity of the Gal group was weak. EGB signifi- cantly attenuated learning and memory impairment in a dose-dependent manner, while it could decrease the nmber of TUNEL-positive cells, and increase the activity of PKB. Our results demonstrated that EGB attenuated memory impairment and cell apoptosis in galactose-induced dementia model rats by activating PKB.

Structural and Functional Changes of Immune System in Aging Mouse Induced by D-Galactose

Objective To investigate the role of D-galactose, especially in the structural and functional changes of the immune system in aging. Methods Serum levels of advanced glycation end-products （AGE） were determined by ELISA method. Ultra-structures of thymus and spleen were detected by transmission electron microscopy. MTT method was used to determine the lymphocyte proliferation. IL-2 activity was determined by bioassay. Northern blot was used to detect the IL-2 mRNA levels. Results Serum AGE levels of D-galactose- （P〈0.01） and AGE-treated （P〈0.05） mice （n=8） were increased significantly. The ultra-structures of thymus and spleen in D-galactose- and AGE-treated mice showed regressive changes similar to those in the aged control group. The lymphocyte mitogenesis and IL-2 activity of spleen were also decreased significantly （P〈0.01, n=8）. The change of IL-2 activity shown by Northern blot resulted from the change of mRNA expression. The AGE plus aminoguanidine group, however, showed no significant change in these parameters in comparison with the young control group （P〈0.01 or P〈0.05, n=8）. Conclusion D-galactose and AGE lead to a mimic regression change of aging in the immune system in vivo.

Effect of Schisandra chinensis polysaccharide on intracerebral acetylcholinesterase and monoamine neurotransmitters in a D-galactose-induced aging brain mouse model

BACKGROUND： The most prominent characteristic of brain aging is decreased learning and memory ability. The functions of learning and memory are closely related to intracerebral acetylcholinesterase （ACHE） and monoamine neurotransmitter activity. Previous studies have shown that Schisandra chinensis polysaccharide has an anti-aging effect. OBJECTIVE： To explore the effects of Schisandra chinensis polysaccharide on AChE activity and monoamine neurotransmitter content, as well as learning and memory ability in a D-galactose-induced aging mouse brain model compared with the positive control drug Kangnaoling. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： Completely randomized, controlled experiment based on neurobiochemistry was performed at the Pharmacological Laboratory, Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from September to December 2003. MATERIALS： Schisandra chinensis was purchased from Henan Provincial Medicinal Company. Schisandra chinensis polysaccharide was obtained by water extraction and alcohol precipitation. Kangnaoling pellets were provided by Liaoning Tianlong Pharmaceutical （batch No. 20030804; state drug permit No. H21023095）. A total of 50 six-week-old Kunming mice were randomly divided into five groups： blank control, model, Kangnaoling, high and low dosage Schisandra chinensis polysaccharide groups, with 10 mice per group. METHODS： Mice in the blank control group were subcutaneously injected with 0.5 mL/20 g normal saline into the nape of the neck each day, while the remaining mice were subcutaneously injected with 5% D-galactose saline solution （0.5 mL/20 g） in the nape for 40 days to induce a brain aging model. On day 11, mice in the high and low dosage Schisandra chinensis polysaccharide groups were intragastrically infused with 20 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL Schisandra chinensis polysaccharide solution （0.2 mL/10 g）, respectively. Mice from the Kangnaoling group were intragastrically infused with 35 mg/mL Kangnaoling suspension （0.2 mL/10 g）, and the mice in the model group were intragastrically infused with the same volume of normal saline （0.2 mL/10 g） once per day for 30 consecutive days. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Two hours after the final administration, pathohistological changes in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus were observed using hematoxylin ＆ eosin staining. AChE activity was detected using chromatometry. Monoamine neurotransmitter content was measured using fluorimetry. Learning and memory was measured using the step down test and darkness avoidance test. RESULTS： Both Schisandra chinensis polysaccharide and Kangnaoling improved pathological injury to the cerebral cortex and hippocampus in a mouse model of brain aging. Compared with the blank control group, AChE activity and content of norepinephrine （NA）, dopamine （DA）, and 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT） were significantly decreased in the model group （P 〈 0.01 ）. In contrast, AChE activity and NA, DA, and 5-HT levels significantly increased in the Kangnaoling and high dosage Schisandra chinensis polysaccharide groups （P 〈 0.01）, while NA levels significantly increased in the low dosage Schisandra chinensis polysaccharide group （P 〈 0.01）. Drug treatment improved learning and memory abilities （P 〈 0.01 or P 〈 0.05）. CONCLUSION： Schisandra chinensis polysaccharide significantly increased levels of central neurotransmitters and improved learning and memory in a mouse model of brain aging. The effects of Schisandra chinensis polysaccharide were equal to that of Kangnaoling pellets.

Fingolimod(FTY720) improves postoperative cognitive dysfunction in mice subjected to D-galactose-induced aging

Neurocognitive dysfunction is a common postoperative complication,especially in older adult patients.Fingolimod(FTY720)is a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator that has been found to be neuroprotective in several animal models of central nervous system disease.However,few reports have examined whether FTY720 could mitigate postoperative cognitive dysfunction.In this study,we investigated whether FTY720 could prevent postoperative neurocognitive impairment in mice subjected to D-galactose-induced aging.We induced an accelerated model of aging by administering an intraperitoneal injection of D-galactose.Subsequently,we performed a partial hepatolobectomy under sevoflurane anesthesia.FTY720(1 mg/kg)was administered intraperitoneally 3 hours before and 24 hours after anesthesia and surgery.Our results indicated that anesthesia and surgery significantly impaired spatial memory in the Y-maze test 6 hours after surgery.We also found that problem solving ability and long-term memory in the puzzle box test on postoperative days 2–4 were significantly improved by FTY720 treatment.Immunohistochemical staining and western blot assay demonstrated that FTY720 significantly inhibited microglial activation in the hippocampal CA1 region of mice 6 hours and 3 days after anesthesia,and down-regulated the expression of synaptic-related proteins postsynaptic density protein 95 and GluR2 in the hippocampus.These results indicate that FTY720 improved postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction in mice subjected to D-galactose-induced aging.This study was approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University of China(approval No.LLSC(LA)2016-025)on September 27,2016.

NADPH Oxidase-dependent Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Damage in Hippocampus of D-galactose-induced Aging Rats

Mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) common deletion(CD) plays a significant role in aging and age-related diseases.In this study,we used D-galactose(D-gal) to generate an animal model of aging and the involvement and causative mechanisms of mitochondrial damage in such a model were investigated.Twenty 5-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups:D-gal group(n=10) and control group(n=10).The quantity of the mtDNA CD in the hippocampus was determined using a TaqMan real-time PCR assay.Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the mitochondrial ultrastructure in the hippocampus.Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of NADPH oxidase(NOX) and uncoupling protein 2(UCP2).We found that the level of mtDNA CD was significantly higher in the hippocampus of D-gal-induced aging rats than in control rats.In comparison with the control group,the mitochondrial ultrastructure in the hippocampus of D-gal-treated rats was damaged,and the protein levels of NOX and UCP2 were significantly increased in the hippocampus of D-gal-induced aging rats.This study demonstrated that the levels of mtDNA CD and NOX protein expression were significantly increased in the hippocampus of D-gal-induced aging rats.These findings indicate that NOX-dependent reactive oxygen species generation may contribute to D-gal-induced mitochondrial damage.

Moderate exercise prevents neurodegeneration in D-galactose-induced aging mice

D-galactose has been widely used in aging research because of its efficacy in inducing senescence and accelerating aging in animal models. The present study investigated the benefits of exercise for preventing neurodegeneration, such as synaptic plasticity, spatial learning and memory abilities, in mouse models of aging. D-galactose-induced aging mice were administered daily subcutaneous injections of D-galactose at the base of the neck for 10 consecutive weeks. Then, the mice were subjected to exercise training by running on a treadmill for 6 days a week. Shortened escape latency in a Morris water maze test indicated that exercise improved learning and memory in aging mice. The ameliorative changes were likely induced by an upregulation of Bcl-2 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor, the repression of apoptosis factors such as Fas and Bax, and an increase in the activity of glucose transporters-1 and 4. The data suggest moderate exercise may retard or inhibit neurodegeneration in D-galactose-induced aging mice.

The Hainan papaya extract’s effect on anti-aging,learning and memory of aging model mice induced by D-galactose

Objective:To explore the effects of Hainan papaya extract on learning and memory impairment and anti‑aging in D‑galactose‑induced aging mice.Methods:A total of 72 Kunming mice with normal cognitive ability screened by water maze test were randomly divided into negative control group,model group,piracetam group,high,medium and low dose groups of Hainan papaya extract(400 mg/kg,200 mg/kg,100 mg/kg),with 12 mice in each group.Hainan papaya extract and piracetam group were given the above drugs by gavage every day,The negative control and model groups were given the same amount of 0.9%NaCl solution in the same way.Mice in each group were weighed once a week;At the same time,except for the negative control group,mice in each group were intraperitoneally injected with 2%D‑galactose every day,and the negative control group was intraperitoneally injected with normal saline for 7 weeks.After 7 weeks,We observed each group of mice’s capacity of learning and memory by Morris water maze behavioral test;Then,the content of superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA),catalase(CAT),and nitric oxide synthase(NOS)were measured;On the other hand,we observed the hippocampus’histopathological changes by hematoxylin‑eosin staining,and measured the protein expression of nuclear factor‑E2‑related factor(Nrf2)in brain tissue of mice in each group by Western blot.Results:After the intervention of Hainan papaya extract on aging model mice,the high,medium and low dose groups could shorten the swimming time and swimming distance of mice to varying degrees,increase the activities of SOD,CAT and NOS in mouse brain tissue and reduce the content of MDA,The performance of high dose group was better than piracetam group(P<0.01).At the same time,it can improve the histopathological changes of neurons in mouse hippocampus by reducing neuronal nuclear pyknosis,and increase the expression of Nrf2 protein in mouse brain in a dose‑dependent manner.Conclusion:Hainan papaya extract is able to postpone various physical signs of subacute aging mice caused by D‑galactose,and possesses definite anti‑aging and antioxidant effects,which may be related to the regulation of Nrf2 signal pathway.

Protective effects of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate on D-galactose-induced neuronal apoptosis in mice

BACKGROUND： The neuroprotective effects of （-）-epigallocatechin-3-gallate （EGCG）, the main polyphenolic constituent of green tea, have been widely reported. However, the action mechanisms, in particular in D-galactose-induced aging mice, remain poorly understood. OBJECTIVE： The present study investigated the protective effects of EGCG on D-galactose-induced hippocampus neuronal apoptosis in aging mice, as well as the relationship with expression of p751CD, JNK2, and p53 proteins. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A randomized, controlled, molecular biological, animal experiment was performed at the Laboratory of Pharmacology, Pharmaceutical College of China Medical University, China, from September 2006 to July 2008. MATERIALS： D-galactose and EGCG （Sigma, USA）, as well as terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling （TUNEL） In Situ Cell Apoptosis Detection Kit （Promega, USA）, were used in this study. METHODS： A total of 64 mice were equally and randomly divided into D-galactose model, low-dose EGCG, high-dose EGCG, and control groups. Mice in the D-galactose model, low-dose EGCG, and high-dose EGCG groups were subcutaneously injected with 3% D-galactose （150 mg/kg）, daily for 6 weeks, to establish a mouse model of aging. Mice in the control group were treated with saline （5 mL/kg）. At 3 weeks following injection, mice in the low-dose EGCG and high-dose EGCG groups were orally administered EGCG at a dose of 2 mg/kg and 6 mg/kg, respectively, once a day, for 4 consecutive days. Mice in the control and D-galactose model groups received distilled water （5 mL/kg）. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Memory function was evaluated using a step-through passive avoidance test. Neuronal apoptosis in the mouse hippocampus was detected using TUNEL staining. Expression levels of the intracellular domain of the p75 neurotrophin receptor （p75NTR）-p751CD, JNK2, and p53 proteins in the hippocampus were determined using Western blot analysis. RESULTS： The aging mouse model was induced by subcutaneous injection of D-galactose, which resulted in obvious memory impairment, increased apoptotic index, and increased protein expression levels of p751CD, JNK2, and p53 in the hippocampus, compared with control mice （P 〈 0.01）. Oral EGCG administration （2 or 6 mg/kg） for 4 weeks significantly improved levels of memory deficit in the aging mice and reduced apoptotic indices and protein expression levels of p751CD, JNK2, and p53 in the mouse hippocampus （P 〈 0.01）. CONCLUSION： Results from this study demonstrated increased protein expression levels of p751CD, JNK2, and p53, as well as increased hippocampal neuronal apoptosis in a D-galactose-induced mouse model of aging. EGCG provided protective effects against D-galactose-induced neuronal apoptosis in the hippocampus by reducing protein expression levels of p751CD, JNK2, and p53 proteins in the hippocampus of aging mice.
