以金黄色葡萄球菌为供试菌,通过测定大黄素对其细胞膜的通透性、可溶性蛋白质和呼吸代谢的影响,来阐述大黄素的抑菌作用机制. 利用电导率、生物大分子分析、呼吸代谢抑制检测等方法,验证大黄素的药效作用. 实验结果显示,大黄素作用金黄色葡萄球菌后,培养基溶液中电导率比对照组增加了2.23%,DNA和RNA大分子的含量比对照组增加了67.36%,大黄素作用金黄色葡萄球菌16 h后,菌体可溶性蛋白总量比对照组减少了28.3%;大黄素能抑制金黄色葡萄球菌物质代谢中的2种关键酶的活性,其中琥珀酸脱氢酶活性抑制率为53.8%,苹果酸脱氢酶的活性抑制率为25.5%.上述结果表明,大黄素可以破坏细菌细胞膜的通透性,抑制菌体内的蛋白质合成,通过抑制代谢关键酶的活性发挥杀菌作用.     

红谷霉素对金黄色葡萄球菌抑菌机制的研究

红谷霉素是一种抗细菌的新型抗生素。为探讨红谷霉素对金黄色葡萄球菌的抑菌机制,本文采用浓度为EC50和EC90的红谷霉素对试验菌株进行处理,并设空白对照,测定供试菌株的胞外多糖、细胞膜渗透性和生物大分子(DNA、RNA、蛋白质和胞外酶活性)。结果显示:红谷霉素对金黄色葡萄球菌的抑制作用首先表现在对核酸合成的抑制,由于核酸的合成受阻,引起菌体内的蛋白质和其它的生物大分子的合成受阻,细菌细胞膜通透性改变。透视电镜照片显示:红谷霉素处理后金黄色葡萄球菌菌体内部的原生质体明显变稀。

由于抗生素的滥用,使得细菌耐药性和食品中药物残留的问题日益严重,迫切需要寻找新的抗菌药物来应对上述问题。新抗生素开发周期长、费用高,并且易产生耐药性和药物残留等,而中药在我国已经有几千年的应用历史,多种中药具有的抗菌消炎作用也已被现代科学研究所证明。中药还具有低价、无毒、无残留和不易产生耐药性等优点。从细胞壁和细胞膜、蛋白质和遗传物质及呼吸代谢三个方面总结了中药抑菌机制的作用原理、研究方法和已取得的成果,以期为开展此类研究提供参考。     

Curcumin: A naturally occurring autophagy modulator

Autophagy is a self-degradative process that plays a pivotal role in several medical conditions associated with infection, cancer, neurodegeneration, aging, and metabolic disorders. Its interplay with cancer development and treatment resistance is complicated and paramount for drug design since an autophagic response can lead to tumor suppression by enhancing cellular integrity and tumorigenesis by improving tumor cell survival. In addition, autophagy denotes the cellular ability of adapting to stress though it may end up in apoptosis activation when cells are exposed to a very powerful stress. Induction of autophagy is a therapeutic option in cancer and many anticancer drugs have been developed to this aim. Curcumin as a hydrophobic polyphenol compound extracted from the known spice turmeric has different pharmacological effects in both in vitro and in vivo models. Many reports exist reporting that curcumin is capable of triggering autophagy in several cancer cells. In this review, we will focus on how curcumin can target autophagy in different cellular settings that may extend our understanding of new pharmacological agents to overcome relevant diseases.

壳聚糖抑菌机制的初步研究

壳聚糖在医学、食品、环保、日化用品等领域有着广泛而重要的应用.近年来,壳聚糖由于对不同的菌类都具有良好的抑菌效果而被研究者们密切关注.然而,有关壳聚糖抑菌机制的研究却并不多,其抑菌机制也没有被完全阐明.在本研究中,我们发现很多金属离子可以对壳聚糖的抑菌效果产生影响,高浓度金属离子(0.5%)可以使壳聚糖完全丧失抑菌活性.还发现金黄色葡萄球菌和白色念珠菌在壳聚糖的作用下会发生钾离子和ATP的渗漏,而且五万分子量的壳聚糖引起钾离子和ATP的渗漏大约比五千分子量壳聚糖多2到4倍.不同分子量的壳聚糖对金黄色葡萄球菌和白色念珠菌都具有较好的抑菌效果,但是引起钾离子和ATP的渗漏量却存在很大差异,这说明小分子量壳聚糖很可能存在与大分子量壳聚糖不同的抑菌机制.

Monocarbonyl Analogs of Curcumin with Potential to Treat Colorectal Cancer

Curcumin has a plethora of biological properties, making this compound potentially effective in the treatment of several diseases, including cancer. However, curcumin clinical use is compromised by its poor pharmacokinetics, being crucial to find novel analogs with better pharmacokinetic and pharmacological properties. Here, we aimed to evaluate the stability, bioavailability and pharmacokinetic profiles of monocarbonyl analogs of curcumin. A small library of monocarbonyl analogs of curcumin 1a–q was synthesized. Lipophilicity and stability in physiological conditions were both assessed by HPLC-UV, while two different methods assessed the electrophilic character of each compound monitored by NMR and by UV-spectroscopy. The potential therapeutic effect of the analogs 1a–q was evaluated in human colon carcinoma cells and toxicity in immortalized hepatocytes. Our results showed that the curcumin analog 1e is a promising agent against colorectal cancer, with improved stability and efficacy/safety profile.

Retracted: Curcumin ameliorates atherosclerosis through upregulation of miR-126

The potential usage of curcumin in diverse human diseases has been widely studied, including arteriosclerosis (AS). This study focused on investigating the relationship between curcumin and AS-associated microRNA, which may provide a better understanding of curcumin in a different mechanism. Human microvascular endothelial HMEC-1 cells were treated by curcumin alone or oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) plus curcumin, after which the following parameters were analyzed: cell viability, migration, and the expression of AS-associated factors. The regulatory effects of curcumin on miR-126 and signaling pathways involved in AS were then studied. Further, an animal model of AS was stimulated by feeding rabbits with 1% cholesterol diet. The effects of curcumin on the animal model were explored. We found that curcumin treatment significantly reduced HMEC-1 cells viability, migration, and the protein levels of MMP-2, MMP-9, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the presence or absence of ox-LDL. Meanwhile, the expression of VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 was repressed by curcumin. miR-126 was upregulated by curcumin. The abovementioned effects of curcumin on HMEC-1 cells were all attenuated when miR-126 was silenced. And also, VEGF was a target gene of miR-126, and curcumin could inhibit the activation of PI3K/AKT JAK2/STAT5 signaling pathways via miR-126. The effects of curcumin and its regulation on miR-126 and VEGF were confirmed in the animal model of AS. To sum up, curcumin exerted potent anti-AS property possibly via upregulating miR-126 and thereby inhibiting PI3K/AKT and JAK2/STAT5 signaling pathways.
