Oxymatrine (OMT), one of the main active components of extracts from the dry roots of Sophora flavescens, has been reported to possess many pharmacological properties including cancer-preventive and anti-cancer effects. The aim of the present study is to explore the efficiency of combination therapy with OMT and oxaliplatin (OXA) and identify the in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity on colon cancer lines (HT29 and SW480) and mice model. Cells were treated with OMT and/or OXA and subjected to cell viability, colony formation, apoptosis, cell cycle, western blotting, xenograft tumorigenicity assay and immunohistochemistry. The results demonstrated that OMT and OXA inhibited the proliferation of colon cancer cells, and combination therapy of OMT and OXA resulted in a combination index?<?1, indicating a synergistic effect. Co-treatment with OMT and OXA caused G0/G1 phase arrest by upregulating P21, P27 and downregulating cyclin D, and induced apoptosis through decreasing the expression of p-PI3K, p-AKT, p-mTOR, p-p70S6K. In addition, pretreatment with a specific PI3K/AKT activator (IGF-1) significantly neutralized the pro-apoptotic activity of OXA?+?OMT, demonstrating the important role of PI3K/AKT in this process. Moreover, in nude mice model, co-treatment displayed more efficient inhibition of tumor weight and volume on SW480 xenograft mouse model than single-agent treatment with OXA or OMT. Immunohistochemistry analysis suggests the combinations greatly suppressed tumor proliferation, which consistent with our in vitro results. In conclusion, our findings highlight that the combination therapy with OMT and OXA exerted synergistic antitumor effects in colon cancer cells through PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and combination treatment with OMT and OXA would be a promising therapeutic strategy for colon carcinoma treatment.  相似文献

Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids are one of the most important secondary metabolite groups, and include the economically important analgesic morphine and the antimicrobial agent berberine. To improve the production of these alkaloids, we investigated the effect of the overexpression of putative rate-limiting step enzymes in benzylisoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis. We introduced two O-methyltransferase [Coptis japonica norcoclaurine 6-O-methyltransferase (6OMT) and 3'-hydroxy-N-methylcoclaurine 4'-O-methyltransferase (4'OMT)] expression vectors into cultured California poppy cells to avoid the gene silencing effect of endogenous genes. We established 20 independent lines for 6OMT transformants and 15 independent lines for 4'OMT transformants. HPLC/liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis revealed that the overexpression of C. japonica 6OMT was associated with an average alkaloid content 7.5 times greater than that in the wild type, whereas the overexpression of C. japonica 4'OMT had only a marginal effect. Further characterization of 6OMT in California poppy cells indicated that a 6OMT-specific gene is missing and 4OMT catalyzes the 6OMT reaction with low activity in California poppy, which supports the notion that the 6OMT reaction is important for alkaloid biosynthesis in this plant species. We discuss the importance of 6OMT in benzylisoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis and the potential for using a rate-limiting step gene to improve alkaloid production.  相似文献

Combination therapy is one of the important methods to improve therapeutic effect on the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Sorafenib (SF) is a canonical US Food and Drug Administration-approved multikinase molecule inhibitor against HCC. However, therapeutic benefit with Sorafenib alone was usually unsatisfactory. Ceramide (CE) is an endogenous bioactive sphingolipid, which has a strong potential to suppress various tumors. The combination of SF and CE was hoping to exert maximum synergistic antitumor effect through different tumor-suppressible mechanisms. In this respect, SF and CE co-loaded liposomes (SF/CE-liposomes) were developed to verify synergistic antitumor efficacy. The optimal molar ratio of SF and CE was determined through combination index. SF/CE-liposomes were prepared by thin-film hydration method, which exhibited spherical or ellipsoidal shape. Particle size of SF/CE-liposomes was 174?±?4 nm with homogeneous distribution. Release profile of SF demonstrated that addition of CE imposed no significant impact on the release of SF. SF/CE-liposomes exhibited acceptable stability in different media and desirable storage stability over 30 days at 4°C. In vitro cellular uptake confirmed that SF/CE-liposomes could be efficiently internalized into HepG2 cells. In vitro cytotoxicity evaluation indicated that SF/CE-liposomes exhibited higher cytotoxicity on HepG2 cells. IC50 value of SF/CE-liposomes was 11.5?±?0.44 μM, which was significantly lower than that of SF-liposomes (**p < 0.01). Evaluation of in vivo synergistic effect on H22-bearing mice verified that SF/CE-liposomes achieved robust antitumor activity in preventing tumor growth. All results suggested that SF/CE-liposomes might be served as an efficient co-delivery system for improving therapeutic efficacy of HCC.  相似文献

Background

Chronic inflammatory diseases (CID) are globally highly prevalent and characterized by severe pathological medical conditions. Several trials were conducted aiming at measuring the effects of manipulative therapies on patients affected by CID. The purpose of this review was to explore the extent to which osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) can be benefi-cial in medical conditions also classified as CID.

Methods

This review included any type of experimental study which enrolled sub-jects with CID comparing OMT with any type of control procedure. The search was conducted on eight databases in January 2014 using a pragmatic literature search approach. Two independent re-viewers conducted study selection and data extraction for each study. The risk of bias was evaluated according to the Cochrane methods. Heterogeneity was assessed and meta-analysis performed where possible.

Results

10 studies met the inclusion criteria for this review enrolling 386 subjects. The search identified six RCTs, one laboratory study, one cross-over pilot studies, one observation-al study and one case control pilot study. Results suggest a potential effect of osteopathic medicine on patients with medical pathologies associated with CID (in particular Chronic Obstructive Pul-monary Disease (COPD), Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Asthma and Peripheral Arterial Disease) com-pared to no treatment or sham therapy although data remain elusive. Moreover one study showed possible effects on arthritis rat model. Meta-analysis was performed for COPD studies only show-ing no effect of any type of OMT applied versus control. No major side effects were reported by those receiving OMT.

Conclusion

The present systematic review showed inconsistent data on the effect of OMT in the treatment of medical conditions potentially associated with CID, however the OMT appears to be a safe approach. Further more robust trials are needed to determine the direction and magnitude of the effect of OMT and to generalize favorable results.  相似文献

The synergistic factor (SF) in the capsule of a granulosis virus (Hawaiian strain) of the armyworm, Pseudaletia unipuncta, contained polypeptides and phospholipids. Its molecular weight estimated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was 126,000 ± 8,700. The capsule proteins were digested by a proteinase released from the capsule under alkaline conditions, and by trypsin added to the proteinase-free capsules. Neither enzyme affected the synergistic factor or its activity. The synergistic factor was slowly depolymerized by 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate and was more rapidly depolymerized when phospholipase C (phosphatidylcholine cholinephosphohydrolase) was also added. Phospholipase C alone did not decompose the synergistic factor, but it did destroy the capacity of the synergistic factor to enhance the nuclear polyhedrosis virus. In contrast, phospholipase A2 (phosphatidyl 2-acylhydrolase) had no effect on the synergistic factor. The different reactions of the two phospholipases on the synergistic factor suggested that the hydrophilic group of the phospholipid was exposed to the action of phospholipase C and was associated with the synergistic activity. This interpretation was supported by the detection of a phospholipid in the SF by thin-layer chromatography.  相似文献

This report is designed to study the ability of the combined treatment with gemcitabine (Gem) and dihydroartemisinin (DHA) to induce apoptosis in a non-small-cell lung cancer cell line (A549 cells). This combination treatment synergistically inhibited cell growth by inducing apoptosis, and this synergistic action was not associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS). Although either Gem or DHA induced a significant increase in ROS generation, the combination treatment did not further enhance ROS level. Compared with single drugs, the combination treatment significantly potentiated Bak activation, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, caspase-9 and -3 activation, indicating the important role of the Bak-mediated intrinsic apoptosis pathway in the synergistic action, which was further verified by the significant prevention of the cytotoxicity of the combination treatment by inhibiting one of caspase-9, -3 and Bcl-xL or silencing Bak. In addition, the combination treatment also synergistically activated caspase-8, and inhibition of Fas and caspase-8 presented significant prevention on the cytotoxicity of the combination treatment, indicating that the Fas-caspase-8-mediated extrinsic apoptosis pathway partially participated in the synergistic action. Collectively, the present study demonstrates a strong synergistic action of the combined treatment with Gem and DHA in inducing apoptosis of A549 cells via both the Bak-mediated intrinsic pathway and the Fas-caspase-8-mediated extrinsic pathway.  相似文献

Background

The Multicenter Osteopathic Pneumonia Study in the Elderly (MOPSE) is a registered, double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial designed to assess the efficacy of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) as an adjunctive treatment in elderly patients with pneumonia.

Methods

406 subjects aged ≥ 50 years hospitalized with pneumonia at 7 community hospitals were randomized using concealed allocation to conventional care only (CCO), light-touch treatment (LT), or OMT groups. All subjects received conventional treatment for pneumonia. OMT and LT groups received group-specific protocols for 15 minutes, twice daily until discharge, cessation of antibiotics, respiratory failure, death, or withdrawal from the study. The primary outcomes were hospital length of stay (LOS), time to clinical stability, and a symptomatic and functional recovery score.

Results

Intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis (n = 387) found no significant differences between groups. Per-protocol (PP) analysis (n = 318) found a significant difference between groups (P = 0.01) in LOS. Multiple comparisons indicated a reduction in median LOS (95% confidence interval) for the OMT group (3.5 [3.2-4.0] days) versus the CCO group (4.5 [3.9-4.9] days), but not versus the LT group (3.9 [3.5-4.8] days). Secondary outcomes of duration of intravenous antibiotics and treatment endpoint were also significantly different between groups (P = 0.05 and 0.006, respectively). Duration of intravenous antibiotics and death or respiratory failure were lower for the OMT group versus the CCO group, but not versus the LT group.

Conclusions

ITT analysis found no differences between groups. PP analysis found significant reductions in LOS, duration of intravenous antibiotics, and respiratory failure or death when OMT was compared to CCO. Given the prevalence of pneumonia, adjunctive OMT merits further study.  相似文献

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease characterized by the progressive destruction both articular cartilage and the subchondral bone. The agents that can effectively suppress chondrocyte degradation and subchondral bone loss are crucial for the prevention and treatment of OA. Oxymatrine (OMT) is a natural compound with anti‐inflammatory and antitumour properties. We found that OMT exhibited a strong inhibitory effect on LPS‐induced chondrocyte inflammation and catabolism. To further support our results, fresh human cartilage explants were treated with LPS to establish an ex vivo degradation model, and the results revealed that OMT inhibited the catabolic events of LPS‐stimulated human cartilage and substantially attenuated the degradation of articular cartilage ex vivo. As subchondral bone remodelling is involved in OA progression, and osteoclasts are a unique cell type in bone resorption, we investigated the effects of OMT on osteoclastogenesis, and the results demonstrated that OMT suppresses RANKL‐induced osteoclastogenesis by suppressing the RANKL‐induced NFATc1 and c‐fos signalling pathway in vitro. Further, we found that the anti‐inflammatory and anti‐osteoclastic effects of oxymatrine are mediated via the inhibition of the NF‐κB and MAPK pathways. In animal studies, OMT suppressed the ACLT‐induced cartilage degradation, and TUNEL assays further confirmed the protective effect of OMT on chondrocyte apoptosis. MicroCT analysis revealed that OMT had an attenuating effect on ACLT‐induced subchondral bone loss in vivo. Taken together, these results show that OMT interferes with the vicious cycle associated with OA and may be a potential therapeutic agent for abnormal subchondral bone loss and cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis.  相似文献

Combined treatment with human recombinant TNF-alpha (rhTNF-alpha) and hyperthermia at 43 degrees C arrested the growth of mouse fibrosarcoma L929 cells in vitro. The cytotoxic effect was enhanced in combined treatment compared with that following administration of rhTNF-alpha or hyperthermia alone. When the cells were subjected to hyperthermia at 43 degrees C for 3 hours and then incubated with 0.4 ng/ml rhTNF-alpha at 37 degrees C for 24 hours, a statistically significant 65% decrease in the rate of cellular glucose uptake was observed. This suppressive effect was synergistic in terms of effect achieved by rhTNF-alpha or hyperthermia individually. Since the growth of tumour cells depends mainly on catabolism of glucose, our findings indicate that one manner by which combined rhTNF-alpha and hyperthermia treatment inhibits L929 cell growth may be by reducing the supply of glucose to the cells.  相似文献

To develop an optimal bioprocess for secondary metabolite production and explain the bioprocess at the molecular level, we examine the synergistic effects of sequential treatment with methyl jasmonate (MJ), salicylic acid (SA) and yeast extract (YE) on benzophenanthridine alkaloid accumulation and protein expression in Eschscholtzia californica suspension cultures. Serial treatment of MJ, SA and YE at 24 h intervals enhanced the accumulation of dihydrosanguinarine (2.5 times) and sanguinarine (5.5 times). This sequential treatment using different signal elicitors was more effective than single elicitor or simultaneous treatment of the elicitors; it induced benzophenanthridine alkaloid accumulation to 917.7 ± 42.0 mg/L. Also, (S)-methylcoclaurine-3′-hydroxylase (CYP80B1) and 3′-hydroxy-(S)-N-methylcoclaurine-4′-O-methyltransferase (4′OMT) expressions among enzymes in sanguinarine biosynthetic pathway explained the synergistic effects by sequential treatment of the elicitors. The sequential treatment strategy using elicitors related to different signal transduction pathways can be used to design better processes to increase accumulation of secondary metabolites in plant cell culture. Analysis of protein expression provides the detailed information about metabolite accumulation through the correlated results.  相似文献

While the influences of such variables as age and sex are well established for most standardized tests of odor identification and detection, this is not the case for tests of odor memory. In this study, 231 non-smoking men and women, ranging in age from 10 to 68 years, were administered a standardized 12-item match-to-sample microencapsulated odor memory test (OMT). Anosmics were excluded from the study. Each participant was asked to smell a target odorant after its release from a microencapsulated odorant pad and then, after a delay interval of 10, 30 or 60 s, to pick the target from a similarly presented set of four odors, three of which were foils. Backward counting by threes was required during the delay intervals in an effort to minimize semantic rehearsal. Overall OMT scores were higher for women than for men, and decreased, in each sex, as a function of age in a manner similar to the age-related decline observed in tests of odor identification and detection. Performance did not change as a function of delay interval. A significant correlation between the overall OMT test scores and scores on the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test was observed for women, but not for men, in accord with the notion that women may be more likely to employ semantic cues in their strategies to remember odors. The findings are discussed in light of the complexities of the construct of odor memory.  相似文献

The activity of caffeic acid-O-methyltransferase (OMT) in carrot cells was greatly affected by the amount of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) supplemented to the culture medium. The OMT fraction was purified by (NH4)2SO4 followed by ultrafiltration and gel filtration or DEAE-Sephadex chromatography after cells were cultured in the medium containing [2-14C]-2,4-D. Thus, this purified fraction revealed high OMT activity and was still radioactive. The OMT activity was about eight-fold higher (or more) in cells cultured at 0.05 ppm 2,4-D than in those at 1.0 ppm 2,4-D. The ratio of radioactivity to OMT activity was about four-fold higher in cells cultured at 1.0 ppm 2,4-D than those at 0.05 ppm 2,4-D. On the other hand, the OMT fraction was separated into two radioactive protein fractions by DEAE-Sephadex chromatography. The radioactive fractions became Et2O-soluble after HCl hydrolysis, but not after salt-urea treatment. From these results, it was concluded that 2,4-D is covalently bound to proteins in the OMT fraction. Such 2,4-D protein conjugates may play a role in the regulation of OMT activity.  相似文献

Background

Pain is a common complication in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and is associated with shorter survival. We evaluated the impact of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) on pain in adults with CF.

Methods

A pilot multicenter randomized controlled trial was conducted with three parallel arms: OMT (group A, 16 patients), sham OMT (sham treatment, group B, 8 patients) and no treatment (group C, 8 patients). Medical investigators and patients were double-blind to treatment for groups A and B, who received OMT or sham OMT monthly for 6 months. Pain was rated as a composite of its intensity and duration over the previous month. The evolution of chest/back pain after 6 months was compared between group A and groups B+C combined (control group). The evolution of cervical pain, headache and quality of life (QOL) were similarly evaluated.

Results

There was no statistically significant difference between the treatment and control groups in the decrease of chest/back pain (difference = −2.20 IC95% [−4.81; 0.42], p = 0.098); also, group A did not differ from group B. However, chest/back pain decreased more in groups A (p = 0.002) and B (p = 0.006) than in group C. Cervical pain, headache and QOL scores did not differ between the treatment and control groups.

Conclusion

This pilot study demonstrated the feasibility of evaluating the efficacy of OMT to treat the pain of patients with CF. The lack of difference between the group treated with OMT and the control group may be due to the small number of patients included in this trial, which also precludes any definitive conclusion about the greater decrease of pain in patients receiving OMT or sham OMT than in those with no intervention.

The aim of this investigation was to study the efficacy of the combined processes of UV light and mild temperatures for the inactivation of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica and to explore the mechanism of inactivation. The doses to inactivate the 99.99% (4D) of the initial population ranged from 18.03 (Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium STCC 878) to 12.75 J ml−1 (Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis ATCC 13076). The pH and water activity of the treatment medium did not change the UV tolerance, but it decreased exponentially by increasing the absorption coefficient. An inactivating synergistic effect was observed by applying simultaneous UV light and heat treatment (UV-H). A less synergistic effect was observed by applying UV light first and heat subsequently. UV did not damage cell envelopes, but the number of injured cells was higher after a UV-H treatment than after heating. The synergistic effect observed by combining simultaneous UV and heat treatment opens the possibility to design combined treatments for pasteurization of liquid food with high UV absorptivity, such as fruit juices.  相似文献

The induction of chromosomal abberations and gene mutations was studied in Chinese hamster cells after separate and combined treatment with BUdR and SV40. Separate treatment of cells with BUdR or virus infection increased the yield of chromosomal aberrations and reversions from glutamine requirement, expressed at 40°C (a ts mutant), to prototrophy. The combined effect of the incorporation of BUdR into one DNA strand, and a subsequent infection by SV40 was additive as regards the percentage of aberrant metaphases. The integration of the analogue into both DNA strands followed by SV40 treatment resulted in a statistically significant increase in the frequency of aberration-carrying metaphases, as compared with the frequency expected if the two agents had acted additively. The same phenomenon was detected when the frequency of reversions to glutamine independence was studied. Hence, the effect of the joint treatment by BUdR incorporated into both DNA strands and SV40 was synergistic. This is known to characterize the effect of BUdR on virus-induced transformation. Therefore, obviously the agent that enhances the malignant transformation of cells by the virus similarly modifies its mutagenic activity.

The results obtained are presumed to confirm the previously advanced hypothesis that the same events following infection might control both the integration of viral DNA into the host-cell chromosome (and hence cell transformation) and virus-induced mutagenesis. The role of repair processes in the synergistic effect of BUdR and SV40 in the yield of reversions to glutamine independence is discussed.  相似文献

In order to observe antinociceptive effect of Oxymatrine (OMT) and its effect on voltage-activated K(+) channel, the acetic acid-induced abdominal contraction model of mouse was used to test the antinociceptive effect in vivo, and in vitro, the delayed rectifier K(+) currents (Ik) in PC12 cells (rat pheochromocytoma cells) was recorded using the automated patch-clamp method. The results indicated that after application of OMT, the number of acetic acid-induced animal abdominal contraction was significantly decreased, Ik in PC12 cells was significantly decreased, and showed a concentration-dependent manner. After application of OMT, both the activation and inactivation curves of Ik of PC12 cells were shifted to negative potentials. This study revealed that OMT showed antinociceptive effect in mice. The inhibition of voltage-activated K(+) channel might be one of mechanisms in which the enhanced both activation and inactivation of K(+) channel were involved and might play important roles.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES--To assess whether adding codeine to paracetamol has an additive analgesic effect; to assess the safety of paracetamol-codeine combinations versus paracetamol alone. DESIGN--Systematic literature review with meta-analysis, methodological quality of published trials being scored by means of 13 predefined criteria. TRIALS--24 of 29 trials that met the inclusion criteria. Models studied in the trials were postsurgical pain (21), postpartum pain (one), osteoarthritic pain (one), and experimentally induced pain (one). INTERVENTIONS--Dosages ranged from 400 to 1000 mg paracetamol and 10 to 60 mg codeine. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--The sum pain intensity difference (efficacy analysis) and the proportion of patients reporting a side effect (safety analysis). RESULTS--Most trials were considered of good to very good quality. Only the single dose studies could be combined for analysis of analgesic efficacy. Pooled efficacy results indicated that codeine added to paracetamol provided a 5% increase in analgesia on the sum pain intensity difference. This effect was comparable to the difference in analgesic effect between codeine and placebo. The cumulative incidence of side effects with each treatment was comparable in the single dose trials. In the multidose studies a significantly higher proportion of side effects occurred with paracetamol-codeine preparations. CONCLUSION--The difference is analgesic effect between paracetamol-codeine combinations and paracetamol alone was small but statistically significant. In the multidose studies the proportion of patients reporting a side effect was significantly higher with paracetamol-codeine combinations. For occasional pain relief a paracetamol-codeine combination might be appropriate but repeated use increases the occurrence of side effects.  相似文献
