Research Progress of Matrine and Oxymatirne in the Anti-tumor Mechanism

The Matrine and Oxymatirne are two kinds of alkaloid, and have many kinds of pharmacological functions. In recent years, their anti-tumor mechanism has been paid more attention. This article is a summarization of the research progress of Matrine and Oxymatirne in the anti-tumor mechanism. Now people have found out that the Matrine and Oxymatirne can restrain the multiplication of tumor cells via restrainning the synthesizatinon of DNA and the enzyme activity and effectting the normal cycle, and they also can restrain the transfer of the tumour via controlling the expression of the genes, and induce the death of the tumour cell and induce the tumour cell to differentiate into the common cell via controlling the expression of the genes and effecting the telomerase activity.     

植物源农药苦参碱对部分桑园害虫的毒力及田间防治效果

为了探讨从传统中草药苦参中提取的苦参碱用于桑树害虫防治的可行性,用2%苦参碱稀释药液对部分桑园害虫进行室内毒力测定和田间防治试验,并检测其对家蚕的安全性。结果表明,2%苦参碱对桑尺蠖、桑毛虫、棉大造桥虫、红腹灯蛾、白毛虫有较强的毒力,其LC50分别为23.55、28.73、28.52、30.71、25.61 mg/L,以1 500倍稀释药液对上述5种害虫室内处理24 h后的死亡率为92.18%～96.78%,并且具有较好的田间防治效果,24 h虫口退减率为89.81%～96.00%;对桑园微型害虫桑蓟马和朱砂叶螨也有较强的毒力和防治效果,1 500倍稀释药液室内处理24 h后的死亡率分别为95.52%、98.07%,田间防治24 h虫口退减率分别为90.61%、92.55%;对桑螟、野桑蚕的毒力较低,LC50分别为364.47和351.01 mg/L,1 500倍稀释药液对2种害虫室内处理24 h后的死亡率仅有3.13%和3.83%,田间防治24 h虫口减退率分别为18.06%、8.70%。用2%苦参碱的2 000倍、1 500倍、1 000倍稀释药液喷施桑树后,对家蚕的安全间隔期分别为4、8、32 h,安全间隔期后采摘桑叶喂蚕,对家蚕的生长发育和产茧量性状无不良影响。根据试验结果初步认为:苦参碱对桑园害虫防治具有选择性药效,如果桑园害虫的优势种群为桑尺蠖、棉大造桥虫、桑毛虫、红腹灯蛾、白毛虫、桑蓟马、朱砂叶螨,可以考虑采用苦参碱进行防治。

Matrine inhibits mycelia growth of Botryosphaeria dothidea by affecting membrane permeability

Matrine is a promising botanical antifungal;however, the mechanism underlying the antifungal activity is yet limited. We studied the antifungal activity of matrine and the underlying mechanism in Botryosphaeria dothidea as a model strain. Matrine strongly inhibited mycelial growth of B. dothidea in a dose-dependent manner. Matrine-treated B. dothidea showed morphological and ultrastructural alterations, including shriveled hyphae, plasmolysis, and leakage of cytoplasm related to cell membrane deterioration. In addition, matrine caused significantly high conductivity and absorbance (260 nm) in extracellular matrices and low lipid contents in B. dothidea, indicating increased membrane permeability. Lipid peroxidation showed that matrine resulted in increased malondialdehyde content while enhancing the generation of reactive oxygen species and the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase. These results showed that matrine inhibited the mycelial growth of B. dothidea by enhancing cell membrane permeability via membrane lipid peroxidation.

Effect of low expression of miR-21 on apoptosis of HepG2 cells induced by matrine

AIM: To explore whether miR-21 low expression enhances the effect of matrine (MAT) on the apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.METHODS: Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of miR-21 in the HepG2 cells treated with different concentrations of MAT. The effect of miR-21 on MAT-induced HepG2 cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. The mRNA and protein expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in the HepG2 cells treated with MAT was determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot.RESULTS: The expression of miR-21 increased with the increasing concentration of MAT. Low expression of miR-21 promoted MAT-induced apoptosis, and enhanced the expression of Bax at mRNA and protein levels (P<0.05), while inhibited the expression of Bcl-2 at mRNA and protein levels (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Low expression of miR-21 enhances MAT-induced HepG2 cell apoptosis by inhibiting the expression of Bcl-2 and promoting Bax expression.
