Inhibitory effects of LDL-ACM complex on subcutaneous implanted tumors in nude mice()

AIM: In order to evaluate the applicable value of LDL as a targeted vehicle for chemotherapeutic agents, we investigated and compared the inhibitory effects of LDL-ACM complex and free ACM on nude mice's subcutaneous implanted tumors derived from gastric cancer cell lines, SGC-7901 and NKM-45. METHODS: LDL-ACM complex was prepared and the tumor model of nude mice was established by subcutaneous implantation of SGC-7901 and NKM-45. Then, the groups of nude mice developed subcutaneous implanted tumors were received either LDL-ACM complex or free ACM. Subsequently, the tumor size, weight and leukemia cell counts were measured and the rates of tumor-inhibition and the survival were compared among the groups. RESULTS: The inhibitory effects of LDL-ACM complex on the tumors, especially on SGC-7901 implanted tumors were much more obvious than that of free ACM. It was also indicated that the action of LDL-ACM complex was mediated by LDL receptor. CONCLUSION: These results showed that LDL-ACM complex had significant inhibitory effects on the implanted tumors and the effect might be mediated by LDL receptor.     

Effects of oxidized low density lipoprotein and lysophosphatidylcholine on cholesterol efflux from mouse peritoneal macrophage foam cells

AIM:To explore the effects of oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) and one of its component— lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) on cholesterol efflux from mouse macrophage foam cells.METHODS:(1) Cholesterol efflux induced by apoAI from mouse peritoneal macrophage foam cells loaded with OxLDL or acylated LDL(AcLDL) was measured. (2) Cholesterol efflux induced by LPC and apoAI from macrophage foam cells separated from normal or apoE gene deficient (E⁰) mouse loaded with AcLDL were measured.RESULTS:(1) When the macrophage foam cells were incubated with apoAI, cholesterol efflux from AcLDL-induced macrophage foam cells increased significantly compared to that of OxLDL-induced macrophage foam cells. (2) LPC promoted cholesterol efflux from macrophage foam cells in relation to both dosage and time. When LPC was incubated with E⁰ mouse macrophage foam cells, the released cholesterol mass was significantly lower than that of normal mouse macrophage foam cells. It was also found that cholesterol efflux induced by apoAI normally occurred in E⁰ mouse macrophage foam cells.CONCLUSIONS:(1) OxLDL accumulated cholesterol in macrophages and impair cholesterol efflux. (2) LPC induced cholesterol efflux from macrophage foam cells, which may occur via apoE pathway.

The effect of aqueous extract of gross and commercial yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) on intra-abdominal and epididymal fat and glucose levels in male Wistar rats

This study analyzed the plasma lipid profile, glucose levels and fat deposits in male rats treated with aqueous extract of gross yerba mate, commercial yerba mate or water. Yerba mate treatment did not change body weight gain and lipid profile. The consumption of gross yerba mate significantly increased blood glucose (6.6 mmol/L) as compared to the water (4.8 mmol/L) and commercial group (5.2 mmol/L) and decreased epididymal and intra-abdominal deposits (10.1 mg/g and 23.7 mg/g of weight) as compared to the water (15.4 mg/g and 36.9 mg/g of weight) and commercial group (12.5 mg/g and 28 mg/g of weight). The results suggest that gross yerba mate reduces fat more efficiently but produces a greater increase in blood glucose when compared to commercial yerba mate and water groups.

【目的】探讨短波紫外线(UV-C)采后处理对牛角椒果实感官品质、营养品质和生理指标的影响,为牛角椒的短期贮运保鲜提供技术指导。【方法】以牛角椒"大果99"为试材,以波长254 nm普通紫外杀菌灯为辐射源,分别照射350,450,500 s,即辐射剂量分别为0.7,0.9,1.0 kJ/m2辐照牛角椒果实,以不照射为对照(CK),室温下(25℃左右)贮藏21 d,筛选最佳辐射剂量;在此基础上,采用最佳剂量对牛角椒果实进行辐射处理,测定贮藏过程中牛角椒果实的可溶性固形物、Vc含量、叶绿素含量、呼吸速率、相对电导率、丙二醛含量以及保护酶活性。【结果】控制牛角椒果实腐烂和失重的最佳UV-C处理剂量为0.9 kJ/m2,与对照相比差异显著。0.9 kJ/m2UV-C处理的牛角椒果实在贮藏15 d后,可溶性固形物含量显著高于对照,Vc含量极显著高于对照;0.9 kJ/m2UV-C处理可有效保持牛角椒果实叶绿素含量,抑制呼吸速率和细胞膜透性的增大,减少MDA的积累;贮藏期内0.9 kJ/m2UV-C处理果实的SOD、POD和CAT活性均明显升高。【结论】0.9 kJ/m2UV-C处理可以有效地延缓牛角椒果实的采后衰老进程,保持果实品质。     

Effects of oxidized low density lipoprotein and vitamin E on the levels of IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells

AIM:To investigate effects of OX-LDL and VitE on the levels of IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC).METHODS: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were obtained by in vitro culture. HUVEC treated with or without Vit E was incubated with OX-LDL, and the levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assy technique. RESULTS:50 μg/L,100 μg/L, 200 μg/L OX-LDL induced the release of IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α by HUVEC in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with the control group , the levels of IL-6 and IL-8 were significantly increased at 6-12 h of stimulation with OX-LDL . Maximal levels of IL-6 and IL-8 occurred after 24-36 h, reaching a plateau maintained for at least 48 h. TNF-α rose after 2-6 h in HUVEC, and reached a maximum after 12 h. In contrast to IL-6 and IL-8, TNF-α declined after 48 h. However, when VitE (50 mg/L,100 mg/L,200 mg/L)was added, it can significant inhibited the release of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α in a dose-dependent manner, and after 48 h these cytokines have no diference between OX-LDL+VitE groups and OX-LDL groups. CONCLUSION: OX-LDL can obviously stimulate the production of IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α in vascular endothelial cells, which can significantly be inhibited by VitE in a short time.     

公牛精囊和前列腺的组织学及组织化学观察

公牛精囊、前列腺上皮内的分泌颗粒及腺腔内的分泌物中,含有带硫酸盐的糖蛋白,对精子的生长发育、成熟及生理活性有重要的作用。用 Schiff 氏高碘酸(PAS)法,阿尔生蓝(alcianblue·AB)法,可进行组织化学的定性分析。用强度不同的甲基化法可减弱 AB 反应的蓝色。而用 a-淀粉酶及 Schiff 氏高碘酸苯肼(PAPS)法的互相作用,可降低 PAS 反应的强度,以便观察腺体内糖蛋白的含量。
