简介:目的:研究参葵通脉颗粒治疗慢性心衰大鼠心功能及心肌NLRP3信号轴的影响。方法:腹主动脉缩窄制备慢性心衰大鼠模型,随机分为模型组、参葵通脉颗粒0.72g颗粒/kg、1.44g颗粒/kg、2.88g颗粒/kg组、阳性药洛汀新0.9mg/kg组,另以10只不缩窄腹主动脉的大鼠为假手术组。各组均干预4周。小动物超声检测各组大鼠心功能;Westernblot检测各组大鼠心肌核苷酸结合寡聚化结构域样受体蛋白3(NLRP3)、半胱天冬氨酸蛋白酶1(Caspase-1)、白细胞介素1β(IL-1β)、白细胞介素18(IL-18)蛋白表达。实时荧光PCR检测超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)与血红素加氧酶-1(HO-1)mRNA的表达。结果:与假手术组比较,模型组大鼠LVEDD、LVESD显著升高,LVEF、FS显著降低;与模型组比较,参葵通脉颗粒0.72g、1.44g、2.88g颗粒/kg组LVEDD、LVESD显著降低,LVEF、FS显著升高。与假手术组比较,模型组大鼠NLRP3、Caspase-1、IL-1β、IL-18蛋白表达水平显著增加,SOD、HO-1mRNA水平显著降低;与模型组比较,参葵通脉颗粒0.72g、1.44g、2.88g颗粒/kg组NLRP3、Caspase-1、IL-1β、IL-18蛋白表达水平显著降低,SOD、HO-1mRNA水平显著增加。结论:参葵通脉颗粒可增强内源性抗氧化应激能力,降低慢性心衰心肌NLRP3信号轴的活化,这可能是其改善慢性心衰心肌重塑的作用机制之一。
简介:目的:研究大黄素与姜黄素和苦参素的配伍组合对柯萨奇病毒B3感染小鼠的体内病毒抑制作用。方法:建立CVB3感染的小鼠模型24h后,用大黄素配伍姜黄素、苦参碱的复方药物1.0g/kg、0.5g/kg、0.25g/kg三个剂量组连续15d进行治疗,观察感染小鼠的治愈率和死亡率,并取小鼠的脏器进行组织病理学观察、病毒分离和病毒滴度测定、免疫荧光法检测和RT-PCR测定病毒核酸。结果:经复方大黄素治疗后的染病小鼠发病症状明显减轻,死亡率下降;治疗组的小鼠心、肺、肾等组织中病毒滴度均低于阳性对照组和模型对照组;治疗组的小鼠心、肺、肾等组织切片的荧光反应不明显,荧光点显著少于阳性对照组和模型对照组;从小鼠脏器中提取病毒mRNA经RT-PCR、凝胶电泳分析,在0.5、1g/kg组中未检测出病毒核酸。实验还发现提取物组合比纯化合物组合毒性要低,疗效也好。结论:大黄素配伍姜黄素和苦参碱后能抑制CVB3病毒在小鼠心、肺、肾等脏器中的增殖,对小鼠脏器具有较强的保护作用。
简介:目的:观察甘草次酸对哮喘大鼠气道炎症、气道重塑及肺组织Casepase-3、Bax、Bcl-2表达的影响,探讨其抗哮喘机制。方法:将60只雄性大鼠随机分为正常对照组、哮喘模型组、地塞米松组及甘草次酸(200、100、50mg/kg)剂量组。以卵清蛋白加氢氧化铝致敏复制大鼠哮喘动物模型,病理观察甘草次酸对哮喘大鼠肺组织气道炎症浸润和气道重塑的影响;采用RT-PCR和Western-blot法检测哮喘大鼠肺组织Casepase-3、Bax及Bcl-2mRNA和蛋白表达。结果:与哮喘模型组比较,甘草次酸200mg/kg可减少哮喘大鼠肺组织炎症浸润,改善或逆转气道重塑;甘草次酸200、100mg/kg可上调哮喘大鼠肺组织Bax、Caspase-3mRNA和蛋白表达水平,下调Bcl-2mRNA和蛋白表达水平。结论:甘草次酸对哮喘大鼠气道炎症及气道重塑有较好的改善作用,其机制可能与上调促凋亡因子Bax、Caspase-3和下调抗凋亡因子Bcl-2有关。
