Recent evidence indicates that small tau oligomers are the most relevant toxic aggregate species. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanisms of cornel iridoid glycoside(CIG) on tau oligomers and cognitive functions. We injected wortmannin and GF-109203 X(WM/GFX, 200 μmol·L-1 each) into the lateral ventricles to induce tau oligomer and memory impairment in rats. When oral y administered with CIG at 60 and 120 mg·kg-1 per day for 14 d, CIG decreased the escape latency in Morris water maze test. We also found that CIG restored the expression of presynaptic p-synapsin, synaptophysin, and postsynaptic density-95(PSD-95) decreased by WM/GFX in rat cortex. CIG reduced the accumulation of tau oligomers in the brain of WM/GFX rats and in cells transfected with wild type glycogen synthase kinase-3β(wt GSK-3β). In addition, CIG up-regulated the levels of ATG7, ATG12, Beclin-1, and LC3 II in vivo and in vitro, suggesting the restoration of autophagy function. These results suggest that CIG could ameliorate memory deficits and regulate memory-associated synaptic proteins through the clearance of tau oligomers accumulation. Moreover, CIG clears tau oligomers by restoring autophagy function.展开更多

METHOD: The standardized iridoid fraction from BPE at 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg body weight was administered orally, twice daily for 5 days for prevention from aspirin, ethanol, cold-restraint stress(CRS), and pylorus ligation(PL)-induced ulcers. Estimation of the antioxidant enzyme activity was carried out in a CRS-induced ulcer model, and various gastric secretion parameters including volume of gastric juice, acid output, and pH value were estimated in the PL-induced ulcer model. RESULTS: BPE showed a dose-dependent ulcer protective effect in PL(18.67%–66.26% protection), aspirin(24.65%–63.25% protection), CRS(20.77%–59.42% protection), and EtOH(16.93%–77.04% protection)-induced ulcers. BPE treatment in PL-rats showed a decrease in acid-pepsin secretion, and enhanced mucin and mucosal glycoproteins. However, BPE reduced the ulcer index with significant decrease in LPO(P < 0.01–0.001), SOD(P < 0.01–0.001), and an increase in CAT(P < 0.01–0.001), activity in the CRS-induced model. CONCLUSION: The data shows that the iridoid fraction from BPE possesses anti-ulcerogenic and antioxidant potential.展开更多

文摘Tau oligomers are the etiologic molecules of Alzheimer disease(AD), and correlate strongly with neuronal loss and exhibit neurotoxicity. Recent evidence indicates that small tau oligomers are the most relevant toxic aggregate species. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanisms of cornel iridoid glycoside(CIG) on tau oligomers and cognitive functions. We injected wortmannin and GF-109203 X(WM/GFX, 200 μmol·L-1 each) into the lateral ventricles to induce tau oligomer and memory impairment in rats. When oral y administered with CIG at 60 and 120 mg·kg-1 per day for 14 d, CIG decreased the escape latency in Morris water maze test. We also found that CIG restored the expression of presynaptic p-synapsin, synaptophysin, and postsynaptic density-95(PSD-95) decreased by WM/GFX in rat cortex. CIG reduced the accumulation of tau oligomers in the brain of WM/GFX rats and in cells transfected with wild type glycogen synthase kinase-3β(wt GSK-3β). In addition, CIG up-regulated the levels of ATG7, ATG12, Beclin-1, and LC3 II in vivo and in vitro, suggesting the restoration of autophagy function. These results suggest that CIG could ameliorate memory deficits and regulate memory-associated synaptic proteins through the clearance of tau oligomers accumulation. Moreover, CIG clears tau oligomers by restoring autophagy function.

文摘A rapid and validated UPLC-MS method was developed for investigating the absorbed components of Paederia scandens(Lour.) Merrill(P.scandens) in rat plasma.The bioactive constituents in plasma samples from rats administrated orally with P.scandens extract were analyzed by Ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS).Four prototype compounds were identified in rat serum as potential bioactive components of P.scandens by comparing their retention times and mass spectrometry data or by mass spectrometry analysis and retrieving the reference literatures.Glucuronidation after deglycosylation was the major metabolic pathway for the iridoid glycosides in P.scandens.These results showed that the methods had high sensitivity and resolution and were suitable for identifying the bioactive constituents in plasma after oral administration of P.scandens.providing helpful chemical information for further pharmacological and mechanistic researched on the P.scandens.

文摘rTg4510 mice are transgenic mice expressing P301L mutant tau and have been developed as an animal model of tauopathies including Alzheimer’s disease(AD).Besides cognitive impairments,rTg4510 mice also show abnormal hyperactivity behavior.Cornel iridoid glycoside(CIG)is an active ingredient extracted from Cornus officinalis,a traditional Chinese herb.The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of CIG on the emotional disorders such as hyperactivity,and related mechanisms.The emotional hyperactivity was detected by locomotor activity test and Y maze test.Immunofluorescent and immunohistochemical analyses were conducted to measure neuron loss and phosphorylated tau.Western blotting was used to detect the expression of related proteins.The results showed that intragastric administration of CIG for 3 months decreased the hyperactivity phenotype,prevented neuronal loss,reduced tau hyperphosphorylation and aggregation in the amygdala of rTg4510 mice.Meanwhile,CIG alleviated the synaptic dysfunction by increasing the expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors(NMDARs)subunits GluN1 and GluN2A andαamino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptor(AMPAR)subunits GluA1 and GluA2,and increased the level of phosphorylated Ca2+/calmodulin dependent protein kinase IIα(p-CaMK IIα)in the brain of rTg4510 mice.In conclusion,CIG may have potential to treat the emotional disorders in tauopathies such as AD through reducing tau pathology and improving synaptic dysfunction.

文摘AIM: To study the gastroprotective effect and in vivo antioxidant potential of a standardized iridoid fraction from B. prionitis leaves(BPE) against different gastric ulcer models in rats. METHOD: The standardized iridoid fraction from BPE at 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg body weight was administered orally, twice daily for 5 days for prevention from aspirin, ethanol, cold-restraint stress(CRS), and pylorus ligation(PL)-induced ulcers. Estimation of the antioxidant enzyme activity was carried out in a CRS-induced ulcer model, and various gastric secretion parameters including volume of gastric juice, acid output, and pH value were estimated in the PL-induced ulcer model. RESULTS: BPE showed a dose-dependent ulcer protective effect in PL(18.67%–66.26% protection), aspirin(24.65%–63.25% protection), CRS(20.77%–59.42% protection), and EtOH(16.93%–77.04% protection)-induced ulcers. BPE treatment in PL-rats showed a decrease in acid-pepsin secretion, and enhanced mucin and mucosal glycoproteins. However, BPE reduced the ulcer index with significant decrease in LPO(P < 0.01–0.001), SOD(P < 0.01–0.001), and an increase in CAT(P < 0.01–0.001), activity in the CRS-induced model. CONCLUSION: The data shows that the iridoid fraction from BPE possesses anti-ulcerogenic and antioxidant potential.
