Effects of phytosterol ester on aortic aging and expression of related genes in rats

AIM: To explore the protective effect of phytosterol ester (PSE) on aortic aging in rats. METHODS: The female SD rats (12 months old, n=42) were randomly divided into control group, model group and PSE group. During the experiment, the rats in control group, model group and PSE group were treated with basic feed, high-fat diet (HFD) and HFD with 2% PSE (W/W) for 6 months, respectively. The morphological changes of the aorta were observed by HE staining and Masson staining, and the absolute area of smooth muscle cells and collagen fiber in the vascular wall were measured by image analysis. The levels of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in the plasma were detected. The expression of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) at mRNA and protein levels in the vascular tissue was determined by real time PCR and Western blot, respectively. RESULTS: PSE significantly lowered plasma TC and LDL-C, and increased plasma HDL-C level (P<0.05), but had no effect on plasma TG level. PSE significantly attenuated the thickening of intima and media of aging aortic, and decreased the migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and the amount of VSMC and collagen fiber in the aorta (P<0.05). PSE significantly reduced the contents of AGEs and MDA (P<0.05), but had no effect on the activity of SOD and CAT in the plasma. PSE also down-regulated the expression of PPARγ and up-regulated the expression of SIRT1 (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: PSE is able to attenuate the senescence process in the aorta by reducing the production of reactive oxygen species in plasma, and activating SIRT1, or inhibiting the expression of PPARγ in vascular tissues.

Semi-Synthesis,Cytotoxic Evaluation,and Structure—Activity Relationships of Brefeldin A Derivatives with Antileukemia Activity

Brefeldin A (1), a potent cytotoxic natural macrolactone, was produced by the marine fungus Penicillium sp. (HS-N-29) from the medicinal mangrove Acanthus ilicifolius. Series of its ester derivatives 2–16 were designed and semi-synthesized, and their structures were characterized by spectroscopic methods. Their cytotoxic activities were evaluated against human chronic myelogenous leukemia K562 cell line in vitro, and the preliminary structure–activity relationships revealed that the hydroxy group played an important role. Moreover, the monoester derivatives exhibited stronger cytotoxic activity than the diester derivatives. Among them, brefeldin A 7-O-2-chloro-4,5-difluorobenzoate (7) exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect on the proliferation of K562 cells with an IC₅₀ value of 0.84 µM. Further evaluations indicated that 7 induced cell cycle arrest, stimulated cell apoptosis, inhibited phosphorylation of BCR-ABL, and thereby inactivated its downstream AKT signaling pathway. The expression of downstream signaling molecules in the AKT pathway, including mTOR and p70S6K, was also attenuated after 7-treatment in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, molecular modeling of 7 docked into 1 binding site of an ARF1–GDP-GEF complex represented well-tolerance. Taken together, 7 had the potential to be served as an effective antileukemia agent or lead compound for further exploration.     

无溶剂法制备丙烯海松酸蔗糖酯及其在空气-水界面吸附行为研究

在无溶剂条件下,以丙烯海松酸和蔗糖为原料,在高温熔融状态下通过酯化反应制备了丙烯海松酸蔗糖酯,运用红外光谱、核磁共振和凝胶渗透色谱对其结构进行了表征,并测试了其临界胶束浓度(CMC),利用再定向理论分析了丙烯海松酸蔗糖酯表面活性剂在空气-水界面的形态转变和吸附量等吸附行为。研究结果表明:成功合成了丙烯海松酸蔗糖酯,其CMC值为2.2 g/L。丙烯海松酸蔗糖酯在空气-水界面的吸附状态分为状态1和状态2,随着表面压的增加,溶剂摩尔分数逐渐降低,2种状态丙烯海松酸蔗糖酯分子在空气-水界面上的摩尔分数之和逐渐增加。计算了吸附在界面上的状态1和状态2丙烯海松酸蔗糖酯的吸附量,随着表面压增大,状态1吸附量先增大后减小,状态2吸附量占主导且持续增多,吸附量最高可达1.9 mmol/m2。丙烯海松酸蔗糖酯的吸附和胶束化摩尔自由能(ΔG)分别为-20.67和-15.16 kJ/mol,表明丙烯海松酸蔗糖酯优先吸附在界面上,达到饱和后就形成胶束。
