TL;DR: Scopolin is capable of reducing clinical symptoms of rat AIA by inhibiting inflammation andAngiogenesis, and this compound may be a potent therapeutic agent for angiogenesis related diseases and can serve as structural base for screening for more potent synthetic analogs.
Abstract: Objective To study the effects and mechanisms of scopolin isolated from the stems of Erycibe obtusifolia Benth in arthritis-associated inflammation and angiogenesis.Methods Adjuvant-induced arthritic rat,an animal model for human RA was used in this study for examining the potential remedial effect of scopolin.The swelling in both inoculated and non-inoculated paws,body weights and articular index(AI)scores were detected to evaluate the severity of the arthritis.Histologic assessment of tissue sections from rat ankles was also performed.Furthermore,the blood vessel density in the synovial tissues was quantitatively evaluated.In addition,expressions of VEGF,FGF-2,TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 in rat synovial tissues were determined by immunohistochemistry assay in an attempt to explain the mechanisms of scopolin for suppressing arthritis.Results Scopolin dose-dependently inhibited both inoculated and non-inoculated paw swelling in rat AIA.The mean AI scores of scopolin treated groups were also dose-dependently lower than that of model group.In addition,compared with the weights of model group,the mean body weights of rats treated with scopolin(50,100 mg·kg-1)were higher from day 13 to 22,perhaps indicative of healthier animals.The histologic architecture of the joint was highly abnormal in the model group rats,while high dose of scopolin treated rats preserved a nearly normal histologic architecture of the joint.Moreover,the new blood vessels were reduced dose-dependently in the synovial tissue of rat AIA treated with scopolin.Further,scopolin reduced the overexpression of IL-6,VEGF and FGF-2 in rat synovial tissues.Conclusions Scopolin is capable of reducing clinical symptoms of rat AIA by inhibiting inflammation and angiogenesis,and this compound may be a potent therapeutic agent for angiogenesis related diseases and can serve as structural base for screening for more potent synthetic analogs.

TL;DR: Results showed total alkaloids can inhibit the growth of human gastric adenoma cells SGC-7901 and inducing apoptosis is one of the anti-cancer mechanism of total alkAloids of C.S.
Abstract: Objective To investigate the apoptosis effect of Total alkaloids on human gastric cancer cells SGC-7901 from Capparis spinosa(C.S)and possible mechanism of it.Methods SGC-7901 cells were treated with different concentrations of the Total alkaloids in CS.MTT assay and SRB assay were used to observe the inhibitory rate of the Total alkaloids,and fluorescence microscope,flow cytometry and used to observe the influence of the Total alkaloids on cell apoptosis and cell cycle changes of SGC-7901.Results The results showed total alkaloids can inhibit the growth of human gastric adenoma cells SGC-7901.Measurements using mononuclear cell direct cytotoxicity assay(the MTT method)shows that its cytotoxic effect on SGC-7901 is strong,with IC50 being 142.895 μg·mL-1,respectively.Results from SRB assay show that the anticancer effect of Total alkaloids is cytostatic at low concentration,with LC50 for this cells being 41.271 μg·mL-1,respectively,but it becomes mainly cytotoxic at high concentration,with GI50 for SGC-7901 being 244·932 μg·mL-1,respectively.Total alkaloids can induce apoptosis in tumor cells.Forty-eight hours after they are treated with total alkaloids of different concentrations,SGC-7901 cells are stained with Hoechst33258 fluorochromes.Observation using a fluorescence microscope reveals that total alkaloids can cause the chromatin in tumor cell nuclei to condense and fragment.The nuclei condense into a uniform,dense mass and then break up.Sprouts keep on forming on the cell membrane and then dropping off,so that the cell breaks up into several apoptotic bodies of different sizes.As total alkaloids concentration is increased,these morphological changes under the microscope become more and more clear,indicating that the proportion of cells undergoing apoptosis is gradually increasing.After treating with 75,150 and 300 μg·mL-1 of the total alkaloids in C.S for 72 h,the apoptotic rates of SGC-7901 cells were 8.7%,14.309%,0.819%.Conclusions Inducing apoptosis is one of the anti-cancer mechanism of total alkaloids of C.S.

TL;DR: LL-37 stimulates mucus synthesis through the activation of MUC1 and MUC2 expression and the MAP kinase pathway in human colonic cells in a bid to prevent mucosal damage and inflammation.
Abstract: Objective Mucus forms the physical barrier along the gastrointestinal(GI)tract.It plays an important role to prevent mucosal damage and inflammation.Our previous finding showed that antibacterial peptide 'cathelicidin' increased mucus thickness and prevented inflammation in the colon.In the current study,we examined the protective mechanisms by which the peptide increased mucus synthesis in vitro.Methods Human colonic cell line(HT-29)was used to assess the stimulatory action of cathelicidin on mucus synthesis which was measured by the D-[6-3H] glucosamine incorporation assay.Results Human cathelicidin(LL-37)dose-dependently(10-40 μg·mL-1)and significantly stimulated mucus synthesis.Real-time PCR data showed that addition of LL-37 induced more than 50% increase in MUC1 and MUC2 mRNA levels.Treatment with MUC1 and MUC2 siRNAs normalized the stimulatory action of LL-37 on mucus synthesis.LL-37 also activated the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein(MAP)kinase in the cells.A specific inhibitor of the MAP kinase pathway,U0126,completely blocked the increase of MUC1 and MUC2 expression as well as mucus synthesis by LL-37.Conclusions Taken together LL-37 stimulates mucus synthesis through the activation of MUC1 and MUC2 expression and the MAP kinase pathway in human colonic cells.

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical constituents of the rhizome of Curcuma wenyujin were identified by a combination of silica gel,sephadex LH-20,ODS chromatography and HPLC.
Abstract: Objective To study the chemical constituents of the rhizome of Curcuma wenyujin YHChen et CLingMethods The chemical constituents were isolated by a combination of silica gel,sephadex LH-20,ODS chromatography and HPLCThe structures of these compounds were identified by the physico-chemical evidences and NMR spectroscopic dataResults Seven guaiane sesquiterpenes were isolated from the rhizome of Cwenyujin and identified as zedoarondiol(1),isozedoarondiol(2),aerugidiol(3),zedoalactone A(4),zedoalactone B(5),zedoalactone C(6) and zedoarolide B(7),respectivelyConclusions Compounds 1-7 are obtained from this plant for the first time
