影响红豆杉中紫杉醇含量的因素较多。为了提高红豆杉紫杉醇及其衍生物的含量,国内外已开展大量研究,其中多数是以天然红豆杉为研究对象。研究表明,不同种类、树龄、器官、物候期、生长环境等因子对天然红豆杉中紫杉醇含量均有影响。本文综述了影响红豆杉紫杉醇含量的各种因子,并对紫杉醇测定方法、天然红豆杉与人工红豆杉中紫杉醇含量以及红豆杉中其它紫杉烷类化合物含量等进行了比较。     

红豆杉中紫杉醇及其衍生物含量影响因子研究进展

红豆杉中紫杉醇及其衍生物的含量显著地受到多种因素的影响,对这些影响因子的研究有利于红豆杉产业化栽培基地经济效益的实现.根据以往的研究,综述了影响红豆杉中紫杉醇及其衍生物含量的主要因子,包括品种、环境、季节、年龄、性别、组织部位、储藏方式、激素和代谢旁路抑制剂等不同的方面.曼地亚红豆杉是美国食品与药物管理局筛选到的最适宜栽培的品种,目前市场上50%以上的10-脱酰基巴卡丁Ⅲ来自于欧洲紫杉.阴湿环境生长的红豆杉紫杉醇含量较高,冬季一般是紫杉醇及其衍生物总含量最高的季节,年龄的增加有利于紫杉醇含量的提高,性别不同的红豆杉紫杉醇的含量没有显著差异,根和皮部的紫杉醇含量较高,阴干和低温保藏能有效地减缓紫杉醇的分解速度,一些激素和代谢旁路抑制剂的施用可以明显地提高红豆杉中紫杉醇及其衍生物的含量.并进一步提出了未来急需深入研究的重点：（1）优良品系的筛选和栽培,尤其是对生长速度最快和在中国分布最广的南方红豆杉;（2）土壤中各种成分,尤其是稀土元素对紫杉醇及其衍生物含量的影响和机理;（3）定点与大尺度实验相结合研究宏观生态因子对含量的影响和机理;（4）激素和代谢旁路抑制剂对含量的影响和机理;（5）调节宏观生态因子、土壤成分、激素和代谢旁路抑制剂的配伍进一步提高产量并应用于生产实践.     

几种促进剂的添加时间对中国红豆杉细胞悬浮培养紫杉醇合成的影响

采用正交实验检测中国红豆杉[Taxus chinensis(Pilger)Rehd.]细胞悬浮培养中水杨酸、硝酸银、氨基酸前体、D-果糖和硫酸镧的添加时间对细胞生长和紫杉醇(taxol)积累的影响.这些促进剂的添加时间对中国红豆杉细胞悬浮培养的生长没有明显的影响,但能明显促进紫杉醇的合成,当在细胞培养的第14 d添加1.67 mg/L硝酸银,第18 d添加0.1 mg/L水杨酸,第21 d添加氨基酸前体,第21 d添加10 g/L D-果糖和2 mg/L硫酸镧时对紫杉醇的促进作用最明显,在此最优组合处理时紫杉醇含量达到10.05 mg/L,相对于最差组合处理时紫杉醇含量仅有1.77 mg/L,紫杉醇含量提高5.7倍,这些因素的添加时间对紫杉醇合成的相互作用达不到显著水平.     

细胞破膜对提取植物有效成分得率影响的研究

本文通过真空破膜法对乌头根、银杏叶、红豆杉茎皮及桔子果皮等材料进行细胞破膜处理,然后通过紫外分光光度计、高压液相色谱以及气相色谱等方法分别对其有效成分滇乌碱、银杏黄酮、紫杉醇以及桔皮精油和其精油中柠檬烯等的含量进行了分析。结果表明:滇乌碱得率由0.59％提高到0.81％;银杏叶中黄酮由1.76％提高到1.91％;红豆杉中紫杉醇由0.0139％提高到0.015％,桔皮挥发油由1.310％提高到1.591％,其中柠檬烯的含量由93.26％提高到95.37％。由此可见,对植物样品的细胞膜处理,在提高有效成分提取得率方面具有较显著作用。     

Clomazone对中国红豆杉细胞培养的影响

以中国红豆杉（Taxus chinensis）悬浮细胞为材料,研究了Clomazone（广灭灵）对培养细胞生长及紫杉醇和糊胡萝卜素合成的影响。探讨紫杉醇生物合成途径人工调控的方法。结果表明在细胞培养第20d加终浓度为20mg/L的Clomazone,对细胞生长影响较小,紫杉醇含量最高,达4263μg/L,约为对照的3倍。Clomazone可以抑制红豆杉细胞类胡萝卜素的合成,其对紫杉醇产量的提高可能与其抑制类胡萝卜素的合成有关。Clomazone与Methyl jasmorale (MJ)及Chloroholine chloride（CCC）对紫杉醇含量的提高有协同作用。     

4种红豆杉培养细胞的生长和紫杉醇含量的比较(简报)

南方红豆杉、云南红豆杉、欧洲红豆杉和东北红豆杉细胞生长在45d的培养过程中基本至S型,在30d时生长速率最大,以后逐渐下降。随着细胞进入快速生长期,培养细胞中的紫杉醇含量也达到最大值,其中云南红豆杉含量最高（0.019％）,南方红豆杉含量居中（0.009％）,而欧洲红豆村和东北红豆杉含量最低（0.004％和0．006％）。     

紫外辐射对东北红豆杉鲜叶中紫杉醇及三尖杉宁碱含量的影响

分别采用254、365 nm两种波长的紫外光对东北红豆杉鲜叶进行辐射,研究了波长、辐射时间以及样品处理方式对东北红豆杉鲜叶中紫杉醇及三尖杉宁碱含量变化的影响。结果表明,东北红豆杉鲜叶经匀浆处理后接受紫外辐射,两种波长的紫外光都可以使紫杉醇及三尖杉宁碱的含量增加,但不同波长对紫杉醇及三尖杉宁碱含量提高的趋势却不相同。365 nm的紫外光辐射2 h时使紫杉醇和三尖杉宁碱含量均提高到了最大值,两种物质含量分别提高了44.6%和53.0%,而254 nm的紫外光在辐射8 h时才达到最大值,两种物质含量分别提高了39.2%和24.3%。可以选取365 nm的紫外光对东北红豆杉鲜叶水匀浆体系进行辐射,快速高效地提高鲜叶内紫杉醇和三尖杉宁碱的含量。     

赤霉素和烯效唑对东北红豆杉紫杉醇代谢的影响

以一年生东北红豆杉扦插苗为材料,采用Hoagland营养液添加赤霉素及其合成抑制剂烯效唑的方法,研究了不同处理对东北红豆杉紫杉醇(taxol)及其前体巴卡亭Ⅲ(baccatinⅢ)与10-去乙酰基巴卡亭Ⅲ(10-DAB)含量变化的影响,同时比较了苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)、过氧化物酶(POD)和超氧化物酶(SOD)活性变化,分析了紫杉醇合成旁路途径物质及抑制剂对紫杉醇代谢的作用效应.结果表明,不同浓度赤霉素(GA3)和烯效唑(S3307)处理对东北红豆杉POD、SOD及PAL活性的影响不显著;但整个处理过程中叶片中紫杉醇含量均为对照的1.28～6.44倍,茎中紫杉醇、baccatinⅢ及叶片中10-DAB含量在第6天均高于相应对照;赤霉素与烯效唑对紫杉醇及其前体合成的作用途径存在一致性.

研究了在一个生长季节内遮荫网不同遮荫强度下对人工种植的南方红豆杉(Taxus chinensis var. mairei)枝叶生物量、紫杉醇含量和产量季节变化。结果表明,在遮荫网89％和46.4％遮光条件下,南方红豆杉枝叶生物量、紫杉醇含量及其产量随发育节律呈现明显的规律性季节变化。在遮荫网89％和46.4％遮光条件下,89％遮荫条件下南方红豆杉枝叶生物量在整个生长季节内都明显高于46.4％遮荫条件下南方红豆杉枝叶生物量;在遮荫网89％和46.4％遮光条件下南方红豆杉枝叶中紫杉醇含量在5月中旬、7月末和11月末都出现较高峰值,后者紫杉醇含量峰值都明显比前者紫杉醇的含量高;89％和46.4％遮荫网遮光条件下南方红豆杉枝叶中紫杉醇的产量都在11月末期时达到最高,后者明显高于前者。因此,生产实践中可采用46.4％遮荫网遮光,采收的最佳季节为11月末期。     

红豆杉低温半致死温度和低温胁迫下紫杉烷含量

通过测定低温胁迫下红豆杉电阻抗参数和紫杉烷含量变化,确定适合红豆杉低温半致死温度测定的电阻抗参数,探讨低温对红豆杉紫杉烷生物合成的影响,为扩大红豆杉引种范围及利用低温条件提高红豆杉中紫杉醇含量奠定了理论基础。以云南红豆杉、南方红豆杉(山西长治)、中国红豆杉、曼地亚红豆杉和东北红豆杉为材料,分别采用电导率法和电阻抗法测定上述树种低温半致死温度,并利用LC-MS法测定低温胁迫下红豆杉叶片中紫杉烷含量和脱落酸(abscisic acid, ABA)含量。结果表明,5种红豆杉中,中国红豆杉、南方红豆杉(山西长治)、东北红豆杉和曼地亚红豆杉均能耐受-14.668--9.106℃低温;云南红豆杉能耐受-8.802--3.521℃低温,高于其他4种红豆杉。电阻抗τ_m参数与电导法测定的5种红豆杉一年生枝低温半致死温度显著相关,相关系数为0.912。低温胁迫下,红豆杉一年生叶片中紫杉醇含量高于当年生叶片。随着处理温度的下降,云南红豆杉和东北红豆杉一年生叶片中紫杉醇含量显著增加,中国红豆杉当年生叶片中巴卡亭Ⅲ含量和10-去乙酰基紫杉醇含量显著增加。此外,红豆杉叶片中ABA含量随温度的...     

The influence of spatial pulsed magnetic field application on neuropathic pain after tibial nerve transection in rat

The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of the spatial variable magnetic field (induction: 150–300?µT, 80–150?µT, 20–80?µT; frequency 40?Hz) on neuropathic pain after tibial nerve transection. The experiments were carried out on 64 male Wistar C rats. The exposure of animals to magnetic field was performed 1?d/20?min., 5?d/week, for 28?d. Behavioural tests assessing the intensity of allodynia and sensitivity to mechanical and thermal stimuli were conducted 1?d prior to surgery and 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28?d after the surgery. The extent of autotomy was examined. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis was performed. The use of extremely low-frequency magnetic fields of minimal induction values (20–80?µT/40?Hz) decreased pain in rats after nerve transection. The nociceptive sensitivity of healthy rats was not changed following the exposition to the spatial magnetic field of the low frequency. The results of histological and immunohistochemical investigations confirm those findings. Our results indicate that extremely low-frequency magnetic field may be useful in the neuropathic pain therapy.     

Blockade of sensory neuron action potentials by a static magnetic field in the 10 mT range

To characterize the inhibitory effect of a static magnetic field, action potentials (AP) were elicited by intracellular application of 1 ms depolarizing current pulses of constant amplitude to the somata of adult mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons in monolayer dissociated cell culture. During the control period, <5% of stimuli failed to elicit AP. During exposure to an ?11 mT static magnetic field at the cell position produced by an array of four permanent center-charged neodymium magnets of alternating polarity (MAG-4A), 66% of stimuli failed to elicit AP. The number of failures was maximal after about 200-250 s in the field and returned gradually to baseline over 400–600 s. A direct or indirect effect on the conformation of AP generating sodium channels could account for these results because (I) failure was preceded often by reduction of maximal rate of rise, an indirect measure of sodium current; (2) recovery was significantly prolonged in more than one-half of neurons that were not stimulated during exposure to the MAG-4A field; and (3) resting membrane potential, input resistance, and chronaxie were unaffected by the field. The effect was diminished or prevented by moving the MAG-4A array along the X or Z axis away from the neuron under study and by increasing the distance between magnets in the XY plane. Reduction of AP firing during exposure to the ?0.1 mT field produced by a MAG-4A array of micromagnets was about the same as that produced by a MAG-4A array of the large magnets above. The ?28 mT field produced at cell position by two magnets of alternating polarity and the ?88 mT field produced by a single magnet had no significant effect on AP firing. These findings suggest that field strength alone cannot account for AP blockade. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

Effects Silver Nanoparticles and Magnetic Field on Growth of Fodder Maize (Zea mays L.)

Two experiments were done in 2008 and 2009 to study the effects of magnetic field and silver nanoparticles on fodder maize (Zea mays L.). These experiments were done with seven treatments based on a randomized complete block design in four replications. The treatments were as follows: magnetic field and silver nanoparticles?+?Kemira fertilizer (T1), magnetic field and silver nanoparticles?+?Humax fertilizer (T2), magnetic field and silver nanoparticles (T3), Kemira fertilizer (T4), Librel fertilizer (T5), Humax fertilizer (T6), and a control (T7). Results showed that fresh yield was higher in treatments T3 and T4. Treatments T3 and T4 had increased maize fresh yields of 35 and 17.5?% in comparison to the control, respectively. The dry matter yield of those plants exposed to magnetic field and silver nanoparticles was significantly higher than that from any of the other treatments. Magnetic field and silver nanoparticle treatments (T3 and T1) showed higher percentages for ears, and the lowest percentages were found in treatments T7 and T5. In general, the soil conditions for crop growth were more favorable in 2009 than in 2008, which caused the maize to respond better to treatments tested in the study; therefore, treatments had more significant effects on studied traits in 2008 than in 2009.     

Extremely low-frequency magnetic fields can impair spermatogenesis recovery after reversible testicular damage induced by heat

Male infertility is often related to reproductive age couples experiencing fertility-related issues. Men may have fertility problems associated with reversible testicular damage. Considering that men have been increasingly exposed to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields generated by the production, distribution and use of electricity, this study analyzed whether 60?Hz and 1?mT magnetic field exposure may impair spermatogenesis recovery after reversible testicular damage induced by heat shock using rats as an experimental model. Adult male rats were subjected to a single testicular heat shock (HS, 43?°C for 12?min) and then exposed to the magnetic field for 15, 30 and 60?d after HS. Magnetic field exposure during the spermatogenesis recovery induced changes in testis components volume, cell ultrastructure and histomorphometrical parameters. Control animals had a reestablished and active spermatogenesis at 60?d after heat shock, while animals exposed to magnetic field still showed extensive testicular degeneration. Magnetic field exposure did not change the plasma testosterone. In conclusion, extremely low-frequency magnetic field may be harmful to fertility recovery in males affected by reversible testicular damage.     

Flow cytometric identification of Paclitaxel-accumulating subpopulations

An immunofluorescence procedure was developed for paclitaxel quantification at the single cell level via flow cytometry in Taxus cuspidata suspension cultures. Intracellular staining was validated via fluorescence microscopy. Paclitaxel content of isolated cells and protoplasts was compared to total paclitaxel levels measured via HPLC. Paclitaxel accumulation was significantly increased by elicitation with methyl jasmonate (100 microM) on day 7 post-transfer as compared to unelicited cultures. Maximum accumulation was observed by day 12 post-transfer in both total paclitaxel (approximately 0.25 mg/L) and the percentage of paclitaxel-accumulating cells (approximately 95%). A similar trend was observed with isolated protoplasts, although protoplasts accumulated only ca. 40-75% of the paclitaxel present in single cells. In unelicited cell cultures, a small subpopulation (ca. 3-5%) of single cells was shown to accumulate paclitaxel. Although nearly all cells were observed to accumulate paclitaxel in methyl jasmonate-elicited cell cultures, a high degree of cell-to-cell variation was observed in paclitaxel content. The identified subpopulations represent targets for cell sorting, which may be applied to develop higher-accumulating cell lines. The quantification of single cell paclitaxel content is useful for characterizing production variability in cell cultures and can be utilized to develop rational strategies to increase paclitaxel production.

Low-dose paclitaxel enhances the anti-tumor efficacy of GM-CSF surface-modified whole-tumor-cell vaccine in mouse model of prostate cancer

Chemotherapy combined with a tumor vaccine is an attractive approach in cancer therapy. This study was designed to investigate the optimal schedule and mechanisms of action of a novel GM-CSF (granulocyte?Cmacrophage colony-stimulating factor) surface-modified tumor-cell vaccine in combination with paclitaxel in the treatment of mouse RM-1 prostate cancer. First, the anti-tumor efficiencies of various dosage of paclitaxel (4, 20, 40?mg/kg) in combination with the vaccine in different administration sequences were examined in the mouse RM-1 prostate cancer model. Then, the in vivo and in vitro effects of various dosage of paclitaxel on RM-1 cells, T cells, and DCs (dendritic cells) were evaluated. The results showed that: (a) the GM-CSF-surface-modified tumor-cell vaccine was more potent at inducing the uptake of tumor antigens by DCs than irradiated tumor cells plus free GM-CSF; (b) 4?mg/kg paclitaxel combined with the GM-CSF-surface-modified tumor-cell vaccine was the most effective at enhancing tumor regression in RM-1 prostate cancer mice when the vaccine was administrated 2?days after paclitaxel; and (c) administration of 4?mg/kg paclitaxel followed by the vaccine induced the highest degree of CD8⁺ T-cell infiltration in tumor tissue, suggesting that the induction of tumor-specific immune response had occurred. These findings suggested that the GM-CSF-surface-modified tumor-cell vaccine may have potential clinical benefit for patients with prostate cancer when it is combined with paclitaxel. Furthermore, the effect of immunochemotherapy depends on careful selection of paclitaxel dosage and the sequence of paclitaxel/vaccine administration.     

Biologic effects of SMF and paclitaxel on K562 human leukemia cells

In this study, we evaluated the ability of 8.8 mT static magnetic fields (SMF) to enhance the in vitro action of a chemotherapeutic agent, paclitaxel, against K562 human leukemia cells. We analyzed the cell proliferation, cell cycle distribution, DNA damage and alteration of cell surface and cell organelle ultrastructure after K562 cells were exposed to paclitaxel in the presence or absence of 8.8 mT SMF. The results showed that in the presence of SMF, the efficient concentration of paclitaxel on K562 cells was decreased from 50 to 10 ng/ml. Cell cycle analysis indicated that K562 cells treated with SMF plus paclitaxel were arrested at the G2 phase, which was mainly induced by paclitaxel. Through comet assay, we found that the cell cycle arrest effect of paclitaxel with or without SMF on K562 cells was correlated with DNA damage. The results of atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy observation showed that the cell ultrastructure was altered in the group treated with the combination of SMF and paclitaxel, holes and protuberances were observed, and vacuoles in cytoplasm were augmented. Our data indicated that the potency of the combination of SMF and paclitaxel was greater than that of SMF or paclitaxel alone on K562 cells, and these effects were correlated with DNA damage induced by SMF and paclitaxel. Therefore, the alteration of cell membrane permeability may be one important mechanism underlying the effects of SMF and paclitaxel on K562 cells.     

Variable spatial magnetic field influences peripheral nerves regeneration in rats

Generator of spatial magnetic field is one of most recent achievements among the magnetostimulators. This apparatus allows to obtain the rotating magnetic field. This new method may be more effective than other widely used techniques of magnetostimulation and magnetotherapy. We investigated the influence of alternating, spatial magnetic field on the regeneration of the crushed rat sciatic nerves. Functional and morphological evaluations were used. After crush injury of the right sciatic nerve, Wistar C rats (n?=?80) were randomly divided into four groups (control and three experimental). The experimental groups (A, B, C) were exposed (20?min/day, 5?d/week, 4 weeks) to alternating spatial magnetic field of three different intensities. Sciatic Functional Index (SFI) and tensometric assessments were performed every week after nerve crush. Forty-eight hours before the sacrificing of animals, DiI (1,1’-di-octadecyl-3,3,3’,3’-tetramethyloindocarbocyanine perchlorate) was applied 5?mm distally to the crush site. Collected nerves and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) were subjected to histological and immunohistochemical staining. The survival rate of DRG neurons was estimated. Regrowth and myelination of the nerves was examined. The results of SFI and tensometric assessment showed improvement in all experimental groups as compared to control, with best outcome observed in group C, exposed to the strongest magnetic field. In addition, DRG survival rate and nerve regeneration intensity were significantly higher in the C group. Above results indicate that strong spatial alternating magnetic field exerts positive effect on peripheral nerve regeneration and its application could be taken under consideration in the therapy of injured peripheral nerves.     

Measurement and analysis of static magnetic fields that block action potentials in cultured neurons

To characterize the properties of static magnetic fields on firing of action potentials (AP) by sensory neurons in cell culture, we developed a mathematical formalism based on the expression for the magnetic field of a single circular current loop. The calculated fields fit closely the field measurements taken with a Hall effect gaussmeter. The biological effect induced by different arrays of permanent magnets depended principally on the spatial variation of the fields, quantified by the value of the gradient of the field magnitude. Magnetic arrays of different sizes (macroarray: four center-charged neodymium magnets of ?14 mm diameter; microarray: four micromagnets of the same material but of ?0.4 mm diameter) allowed comparison of fields with similar gradients but different intensities at the cell position. These two arrays had a common gradient value of ?1 mT/mm and blocked >70% of AP. Alternatively, cells placed in a field strength of ?0.2 mT and a gradient of ?0.02 mT/mm produced by the macroarray resulted in no significant reduction of firing; a microarray field of the same strength but with a higher gradient of ?1.5 mT/mm caused ?80% AP blockade. The experimental threshold gradient and the calculated threshold field intensity for blockade of action potentials by these arrays were estimated to be ?0.02 mT/mm and ?0.02 mT, respectively. In conclusion, these findings suggest that spatial variation of the magnetic field is the principal cause of AP blockade in dorsal root ganglia in vitro. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
