比较岩藻黄素·灵芝孢子粉和黑枸杞对小鼠酒精性脂肪肝的影响

[目的]探讨岩藻黄素、灵芝孢子粉和黑枸杞对小鼠酒精性脂肪肝的作用。[方法]建立NIAAA小鼠酒精肝模型。将10周龄C57BL/6小鼠按照随机分配原则平均分为5组,对照组喂食正常液体饲料,模型组和试验组喂食5%酒精液体饲料,试验组在饲料中分别添加100 mg/(kg·d)岩藻黄素、500 mg/(kg·d)灵芝孢子粉和500 mg/(kg·d)黑枸杞。取肝脏组织称重,比较各组小鼠的肝脏系数,取部分肝脏组织进行病理组织切片观察形态,采用商业试剂盒对小鼠血清中谷丙转氨酶(ALT)、谷草转氨酶(AST)、甘油三酯(TG)、胆固醇(TC)和肝脏中TG含量进行检测。[结果]与模型组相比,岩藻黄素抑制了酒精造成的脂肪变性,降低了血清中ALT、AST、TG和肝脏中TG含量;灵芝孢子粉有效地缓解了血清中ALT、AST含量的升高,但没有有效抑制酒精造成的脂肪变性;而黑枸杞减轻了酒精造成的脂肪变性,但没有显著缓解血清中ALT、AST的升高。[结论]相较于灵芝孢子粉和黑枸杞,岩藻黄素可以对酒精造成的肝损伤和脂肪变性起到更好的保护作用。     

Effect of fucoxanthin on growth and apoptosis of HSC-T6 cells

AIM: To explore the effect of fucoxanthin (Fu) on the growth and apoptosis of HSC-T6 cells. METHODS: HSC-T6 cells were divided into blank control group, negative control group and drug groups (treated with different concentrations of Fu). The cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after Fu treatment. The cell cycle distribution and apoptotic rate were analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein expression of Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with blank control group, the viability of HSC-T6 cells was inhibited by Fu at concentrations of 15~75 μmol/L in a dose- and time-dependent manner (P < 0.01). The cell ratio of G₁ phase was significantly decreased (P < 0.01) and the cell ratio of S phase and G₂ phase was significantly increased (P < 0.01) in 60 μmol/L Fu group after 24 h. The cell ratio of G₁ phase was significantly decreased (P < 0.05) and the cell ratio of S phase and G₂ phase was significantly increased (P < 0.05) in 15 μmol/L and 30 μmol/L Fu groups in a dose-dependent manner after 48 h. The early cell apoptotic rates and total cell apoptotic rates were significantly increased in the Fu treatment groups in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). The protein expression of Bax was significantly increased in the Fu treatment groups and the protein expression of Bcl-2 was significantly decreased in 30 μmol/L and 60 μmol/L Fu groups (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Fu inhibits the growth of HSC-T6 cells possiblely via arresting the cell cycle at S phase and G₂ phase. The apoptosis of HSC-T6 cells induced by Fu might be via down-regulating the protein expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulating the protein expression of Bax.

反相高效液相色谱法测定褐藻中岩藻黄素的含量

建立一种反相高效液相色谱法用于海藻中岩藻黄素的定量分析,并测定新鲜及干制褐藻中岩藻黄素含量,探究不同干制方式对褐藻岩藻黄素的影响。样品经甲醇提取、C18柱固相萃取净化后,采用ZORBAX SB-C18色谱柱,流动相采用水与甲醇梯度洗脱,流速0.7 ml/min、进样量10μl、柱温35℃、检测波长450 nm进行液相色谱分析。在该条件下,岩藻黄素在0.11~50 mg/L范围内有良好的线性关系(Y=38.46X+0.8899,R~2=0.9999),检测限为0.03 mg/L,回收率为92.66%~109.06%,相对标准偏差(RSD)为3.46~4.61%。采用该方法,岩藻黄素提取净化完全,杂质干扰小,回收率高,能够对海藻及其制品中岩藻黄素进行准确定量。采用该方法测得新鲜海带和马尾藻的岩藻黄素含量(干基)分别为559.2和680.4 mg/kg,而干制褐藻样品中岩藻黄素的含量明显低于新鲜褐藻。不同干制方式造成的岩藻黄素损失程度为真空冷冻干燥45℃烘干≈自然晾干。因此,在规模化分离制备海藻岩藻黄素时,宜采用新鲜或冻干海藻作为原料,从而保证岩藻黄素的得率。
