Methods: The effects of different concentrations of PNS on proliferation and early osteoblast differentiation of BMSCs were determined by the MTT assay and an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assay. An optimal effective concentration of PNS was determined and used in subsequent experiments. The cultured BMSCs were divided into three groups: untreated control, H2O2 treated, and PNS pretreatment of H2O2 treated. The oxidative stress level was assessed by superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) assays. Flow cytometry was used to determine BMSC apoptosis by staining with annexinV-FITC/propidium iodide (PI). The activity of caspase-3 enzyme was measured by spectrofluorometry. Results: PNS (0.1g/L) significantly increased both BMSC proliferation rate and ALP activity, while it decreased the indicators of oxidative stress, caspase-3 activity, and the apoptosis rate of BMSCs induced by H2O2.. Conclusion: PNS, acting as a biological antioxidant, had a protective effect on H2O2-induced apoptosis in cultured rabbit BMSCs by decreasing oxidative stress and down-regulating caspase-3.展开更多

Methods The inverted microscope was used to observe endothelial cells and immunochemical methods was also used to detect FVIII-related antigens so as to observe endothelial cells. PNS or LIT in concentrations 0.5?g·L -1, 1.0?g·L -1 and 2.0?g·L -1 were used on the cultured cerebral endothelial cells of rats for 24 hours. MTT method was adopted to determine the outcome of endothelial proliferation. Results 1. Immunochemical methods was used to detect FVIII-related antigens. The brownish yellow showed positive, and the observation of the cultured endothelial cells under inverted microscope showed that the cells appeared to be in the morphological form of cobble-stones. 2. PNS in lower concentration (0.5?g·L -1) could facilitate the proliferation of the cells, while 1?g·L -1 and 2?g·L -1 of PNS could inhibit the proliferation of the cells. 0.5?g·L -1 of LIT could facilitate the proliferation of cellswhile LIT of 1?g·L -1 and 2?g·L -1 had no significant effect. Conclusion The two kind of TCM ingredients extracted in lower concentration could facilitate the proliferation of the cells. And, at the same concentration, the inhibition of PNS on the cells is stronger than that of LIT.展开更多
