Characterization and antioxidant activity of Ginkgo biloba exocarp polysaccharides

Ginkgo biloba exocarp polysaccharide (GBEP) was obtained by hot water extraction, the crude polysaccharide was deproteinized by Sevag method and fractionized by a DEAE Sepharose fast flow anion-exchange column. Five fragments were obtained, including neutral polysaccharide (GBEP-N) and four acidic polysaccharides (GBEP-A1, GBEP-A2, GBEP-A3 and GBEP-A4). GBEP-N and GBEP-A3 were further purified by Superdex 200 gel column chromatography. The resulted two fractions GBEP-NN, and GBEP-AA were characterized by FT-IR, and HPGFC (high pressure gel filtration chromatography). Monosaccharide composition was determined by RP-HPLC method of precolumn derivatization with 1-phenyl-3-5-pyrazolone. GBEP-NN was mainly composed of rhamnose, arabinose, mannose, glucose and galactose, while GBEP-AA was mainly made up of mannose, rhamnose, glucuronic acid, galacturonic acid, galactosamine, glucose, galactose, xylose, arabinose, and fucose. The crude GBEP exhibited certain antioxidant activity. At the concentration of 5 mg/mL, the hydroxyl radical scavenging effect of GBEP was 90.52%, greater than 77.37% for the positive control ascorbic acid.     

A novel substance with allelopathic activity in Ginkgo biloba

Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) is one of the oldest living tree species and has been widely used in traditional medicine. Leaf extracts of ginkgo, such as the standardized extract EGb761, have become one of the best-selling herbal products. However, no bioactive compound directed at plants has been reported in this species. Therefore, we investigated possible allelopathic activity and searched for allelopathically active substances in ginkgo leaves. An aqueous methanol leaf extract inhibited the growth of roots and shoots of garden cress (Lepidium sativum), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), timothy (Phleum pratense) and ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) seedlings. The extract was purified by several chromatographic runs and an allelopathically active substance was isolated and identified by spectral analysis to be the novel compound 2-hydroxy-6-(10-hydroxypentadec-11-enyl)benzoic acid. The compound inhibited root and shoot growth of garden cress and timothy at concentrations greater than 3 μM. The activity of the compound was 10- to 52-fold that of nonanoic acid. These results suggest that 2-hydroxy-6-(10-hydroxypentadec-11-enyl)benzoic acid may contribute to the allelopathic effect caused by ginkgo leaf extract. The compound may also have potential as a template for the development of new plant control substances.     

Genetic Relationships of Ornamental Cultivars of Ginkgo biloba Analyzed by AFLP Techniques

Eight primer combinations that produced clear and a large number of polymorphic bands were screened from 64 EcoR I/Mse I primer combinations (Mse I fluorescent labeled). The genetic relationships of 21 ornamental cultivars of Ginkgo biloba L. from the United States of America, Holland, Japan, France, and China were analyzed. These primer combinations produced a total of 1 119 bands, 229 specific loci (including 54 absent bands, and 175 monomorphic bands). Among them, 983 polymorphic bands (PPB), accounting for 88%, were detected. The percentage of identification per primer combination was as high as 100%. The average PPB of 14 foreign cultivars was 35.86% and the average PPB of seven domestic cultivars was 31.51%. Genetic similarity coefficient (SC) among all cultivars varied from 0.4899 to 0.8499, and all cultivars were divided into the four clusters when SC was set at 0.7300. The cultivars from the same origin did not fall into the same group. The cultivars from France and China were classified into three groups. According to the comprehensive analyses based on specific loci, similarity coefficient, and clustering results, eight cultivars ‘Fastigiata’, ‘Tit’, ‘Tubifolia’, ‘Daeryinxing’, ‘Variegata’, ‘Horizontalis, ‘Pendula’, and ‘Yiyuanyeziyinxing’ were considered to be important germplasms of ornamental cultivars of Ginkgo biloba.

城市大规模的地表硬化改变了城市环境,影响了城市中植物的正常生长。利用土壤水分温度仪ECH2O测定了不同硬化地表下土壤含水率(WCS)和土壤温度(Ts),利用LI-6400光合仪,并配备荧光叶室,测定了银杏生长的环境因子和银杏生理生态参数。研究结果表明,城市地表硬化对银杏生长环境的影响主要表现为空气温度(Ta)和土壤温度(Ts)升高,空气相对湿度(RH)和土壤含水率(WCS)下降,银杏对地表硬化的生理生态响应表现为净光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、气孔导度(Gs)降低,叶面饱和水汽压亏缺(VPDL)增大,叶片含水率(LWC)下降;最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)和PSⅡ实际光合电子传递量子效率(ΦPSⅡ)下降,硬化程度越高,银杏受到的胁迫越重;受城市地表硬化的影响,银杏吸收的光能用于光化学反应的比例减少,而用于热耗散和荧光耗散的比例增加,城市硬化地表上银杏的水分利用效率(WUE)、光能利用效率(LUE)和CO2利用效率(CUE)明显下降。     

Protective effects of alkaloid extract from Leonurus heterophyllus on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury by middle cerebral ischemic injury (MCAO) in rats

The neuronal damage following cerebral ischemia is a serious risk to stroke patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of alkaloid extract from Leonurus heterophyllus (LHAE) on cerebral ischemic injury. After 24 h of reperfusion following ischemia for 2 h induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), some rats were intraperitoneally administered different doses of LHAE (3.6, 7.2, 14.4 mg/kg, respectively). Neurological examination was measured in all animals. Infarct volume, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, levels of nitrate/nitrite metabolite (NO) and apoptosis ratio of nerve fiber in brain were determined. The results showed that LHAE at 7.2 mg/kg or 14.4 mg/kg exerted significantly decreasing neurological deficit scores and reducing the infarct volume on rats with focal cerebral ischemic injury (p < 0.05). At those dose, the MPO content were significantly decreased in ischemic brain as compared with model group (p < 0.05). LHAE at 14.4 mg/kg significantly decreased the NO level compared with the model group (p < 0.05). In addition, LHAE significantly decreased the apoptosis ratio of nerve fiber compared with the model group (p < 0.05). This study suggests that LHAE may be used for treatment of ischemic stroke as a neuroprotective agent. Further studies are warranted to assess the efficacy and safety of LHAE in patients.     

Ginkgo biloba extract suppresses endotoxin-mediated monocyte activation by inhibiting nitric oxide- and tristetraprolin-mediated toll-like receptor 4 expression

Monocytes expressing toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) play a major role in regulating the innate immune response and are involved in systemic inflammation. Previous studies have shown that Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) may act as a therapeutic agent for some cardiovascular and neurological disorders. The objective of this study was to determine whether GBE could modulate immunity in human cells. The monocytic cell line THP-1 was used. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results showed that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces the expression of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MIP-1), tumor necrosis factor-α, stromal cell-derived factor-1, and MIP-1α, and this induction may be repressed by GBE treatment due to TLR4 blockade. The Griess reagent assay and western blot analysis showed that GBE-mediated inhibition of TLR4 expression was associated with the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase and production of nitric oxide (NO). Actinomycin D chase experiments demonstrated that GBE decreased the TLR4 mRNA stability in cells. Confocal microscopy and real-time polymerase chain reaction showed that GBE induced the expression of intracellular tristetraprolin (TTP). Transfection with TTP siRNA reversed the effects of GBE in naïve or TLR4-overexpressing cells. Treatment with SNAP (an NO donor) may increase intracellular TTP expression in cells. Immunoprecipitation analysis showed that GBE mediates TTP activation and increases the interaction of TTP with the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of TLR4 mRNA by regulating NO production. Our findings indicate that GBE could decrease the sensitivity of monocytes to LPS. Utilizing TTP to control TLR4 expression may be a promising approach for controlling systemic inflammation, and GBE may have potential applications in the clinical treatment of immune diseases.     

Ginkgo biloba extract attenuates warfarin-mediated anticoagulation through induction of hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes by bilobalide in mice

Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) is a popular herbal ingredient used worldwide, but it is reported to induce bleeding as a serious adverse event. In this study we examined whether GBE induced spontaneous bleeding or accelerated warfarin anticoagulation via herb-drug interaction. Mice were given GBE or various active components of GBE orally for 5 days and blood coagulation parameters and hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) were measured. Mice also received warfarin (racemate, (S)- or (R)-enantiomer) for the last 3 days of the 5-day regimen to examine GBE-warfarin interactions. Neither GBE (up to 1000 mg/kg) nor ginkgolide B (up to 140 mg/kg), a platelet-activating factor antagonist, influenced blood coagulation parameters. In contrast, GBE attenuated the anticoagulant action of warfarin. Bilobalide, a component of GBE that markedly induced hepatic CYPs including (S)-warfarin hydroxylase, showed similar effects. For (S)-warfarin, the anticoagulation action and the interaction with GBE was clear, while the influence on metabolism was greater for (R)-warfarin than for (S)-warfarin, which corresponded to the CYP types induced by GBE. These results suggest that GBE and ginkgolide B have no influence on blood coagulation in vivo, and that GBE attenuates the anticoagulation action of warfarin via induction of hepatic CYPs by bilobalide.     

Intra-arterial transplantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells immediately after reperfusion decreases brain injury after focal ischemia in rats

AIMS: Transplantation of bone marrow cells has been reported to exert neuroprotection against cerebral ischemia. However, the effect of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) administered immediately after reperfusion has rarely been investigated. The present study was designed to examine whether brain injury in response to transient focal ischemia can be ameliorated by BMMC administration immediately after reperfusion in rats, and to determine whether there are differences in the route of administration. MAIN METHODS: Autologous BMMCs were obtained from each rat. Rats were then subjected to transient focal ischemia followed by BMMC administration via the ipsilateral carotid artery (IA group) or the femoral vein (IV group) immediately after reperfusion. Control rats underwent the same procedure but received vehicle injection. Infarct volume was compared among the groups 24 h and 7 days after reperfusion. BMMCs were fluorescently labeled with PKH26 prior to administration to track transplanted cells. KEY FINDINGS: Total infarct volume decreased in the IA group, but not in the IV group, when compared to the vehicle group. In the ipsilateral hemisphere, PKH26 positive cell count was greater in the IA group than in the IV group. Motor function, assessed with a rotarod test, improved in the IA group compared to the vehicle group. SIGNIFICANCE: These results show significant neuroprotection after transient focal ischemia by 1x10(7) autologous BMMCs administered intra-arterially, but not intravenously, immediately after reperfusion in rats. The larger number of transplanted BMMCs in the brain during the early stage of reperfusion may be responsible for the protective effect.     

Polyhydroxylated steroids from an endophytic fungus, Chaetomium globosum ZY-22 isolated from Ginkgo biloba

A novel polyhydroxylated C₂₉-sterol, 25ξ-methyl-22-homo-5α-cholest-7,22-diene-3β,6β,9α-triol, designated globosterol (1), together with one known tetrahydroxylated ergosterol (22E, 24R)-ergosta-7,22-diene-3β,5α,6β,9α-tetraol (2) has been isolated from the cultures of an endophytic fungus, Chaetomium globosum ZY-22 originated from the plant Ginkgo biloba. The structures and relative configurations of 1 and 2 were established on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses including 1D and 2D NMR (¹H-¹H COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY) experiments and comparison with the literature. Globosterol (1) possesses an unprecedented 25-methyl Δ²²-C₁₀-side chain and Δ⁷-3β,6β,9α-hydroxy-steroid nucleus, which represents the first example for C₂₉-steroids of the group.     

Molecular cloning and characterization of a cytochrome P450 taxoid 9á-hydroxylase in Ginkgo biloba cells

Taxol is a well-known effective anticancer compound. Due to the inability to synthesize sufficient quantities of taxol to satisfy commercial demand, a biotechnological approach for a large-scale cell or cell-free system for its production is highly desirable. Several important genes in taxol biosynthesis are currently still unknown and have been shown to be difficult to isolate directly from Taxus, including the gene encoding taxoid 9α-hydroxylase. Ginkgo biloba suspension cells exhibit taxoid hydroxylation activity and provides an alternate means of identifying genes encoding enzymes with taxoid 9α-hydroxylation activity. Through analysis of high throughput RNA sequencing data from G. biloba, we identified two candidate genes with high similarity to Taxus CYP450s. Using in vitro cell-free protein synthesis assays and LC–MS analysis, we show that one candidate that belongs to the CYP716B, a subfamily whose biochemical functions have not been previously studied, possessed 9α-hydroxylation activity. This work will aid future identification of the taxoid 9α-hydroxylase gene from Taxus sp.     

Effect of repeated allogeneic bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation on brain injury following transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats

Aims

Transplantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) exerts neuroprotection against cerebral ischemia. We examined the therapeutic timepoint of allogeneic BMMC transplantation in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia, and determined the effects of repeated transplantation outside the therapeutic window.

Main methods

Male Sprague–Dawley rats were subjected to 90 minute focal cerebral ischemia, followed by intravenous administration of 1 × 10⁷ allogeneic BMMCs or vehicle at 0, 3 or 6 h after reperfusion or 2 × 10⁷ BMMCs 6 h after reperfusion. Other rats administered 1 × 10⁷ BMMCs at 6 h after reperfusion received additional BMMC transplantation or vehicle 9 h after reperfusion. Infarct volumes, neurological deficit scores and immunohistochemistry were evaluated 24 or 72 h after reperfusion.

Key findings

Infarct volumes at 24 h were significantly decreased in transplantation rats at 0 and 3 h, but not at 6 h, after reperfusion, compared to vehicle-treatment. Even high dose BMMC transplantation at 6 h after reperfusion was ineffective. Repeated BMMC transplantation at 6 and 9 h after reperfusion reduced infarct volumes and significantly improved neurological deficit scores at 24 and 72 h. Immunohistochemistry showed repeated BMMC transplantation reduced ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine expression at 24 and 72 h after reperfusion.

Significance

Intravenous allogeneic BMMCs were neuroprotective following transient focal cerebral ischemia, and the therapeutic time window of BMMC transplantation was > 3 h and < 6 h after reperfusion in this model. Repeated transplantation at 6 and 9 h after reperfusion suppressed inflammation and oxidative stress in ischemic brains, resulting in improved neuroprotection.

Antioxidant activity of a water-soluble polysaccharide purified from Pteridium aquilinum

A water-soluble crude polysaccharide, obtained from fern Pteridium aquilinum, was fractionated by DEAE-Sepharose Fast-Flow column chromatography, and purified by Sephacryl S-400 HR column chromatography. The average molecular weight (M_w) of the purified polysaccharide (PLP) is 458,000 Da. The monosaccharide components of PLP were characterized by gas chromatography (GC), and the majority of the monosaccharide components was glucose (relative mass 58.1%) with low levels of galactose, mannose, rhamnose, and arabinose (relative mass 18.7%, 6.8%, 10.2%, and 6.1%, respectively). The Fourier-transform infrared spectra (FTIR) of PLP revealed typical characteristics of polysaccharides. On the basis of the ferric-reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP), DPPH radical-scavenging, the superoxide radical assay, and self-oxidation of 1,2,3-phentriol assay, the antioxidant activities of PLP were investigated. The purified polysaccharide was demonstrated to have strong reductive power (FRAP value: 827.6 μmol/L), moderate scavenging activities against DPPH radicals (83.1%) and superoxide radicals (60.5%), and moderate inhibiting power for self-oxidation of 1,2,3-phentriol (52.4%).     

银杏毛状根褐化机制的初步研究

该实验依据现有发根农杆菌侵染法,以银杏无菌苗叶片为外植体,对农杆菌诱导银杏毛状根的实验操作进行优化,并观察记录银杏毛状根继代生长情况,测定继代不同天数的毛状根组织内多酚含量、多酚合成相关酶基因和POD基因相对表达量,以探讨银杏毛状根褐化的生理机制。结果显示:(1)银杏农杆菌侵染最适预培养时间为3d、菌种为R1601、共培养基为White、侵染时间为30min,优化侵染操作后的银杏毛状根诱导率可达72.36%;银杏毛状根继代生长的最适IBA浓度为0.5mg/L。(2)银杏毛状根初始发根时颜色为乳白色,多在伤口处簇生,伸长生长时无向地性,不分叶正背面都能在伤口处诱导出根,且在除菌培养20d时毛状根长可达0.4～0.8cm;继代培养25d时毛状根为白色,继代35d时部分毛状根从根部至中部开始转黄,继代45d时大部分毛状根由白转黄,根部至中部开始有褐化出现。(3)继代35d时毛状根的PAL、C4 H、4CL和POD基因表达量分别为25d的68%、44%、51%、52%;继代45d时PAL、C4 H、4CL、POD基因表达量分别为35d的19%、75%、86%、105%。(4)继代35d、45d的银杏毛状根总酚类含量分别为17.14和13.78mg/g。研究发现,PAL基因表达量变化与其下游的两个关键酶基因(C4 H、4CL)表达量变化不一致,且PAL基因表达量的大幅降低并未对下游C4 H、4CL基因表达有明显影响,说明PAL基因表达量变化对其下游合成速率影响不大,可能不是银杏毛状根苯丙氨酸代谢途径的限速酶;而C4 H与4CL基因表达量变化趋势高度一致,说明C4H应是该途径中的限速酶之一;推测继代前期可能是由PPO作为关键酶参与毛状根褐化反应,导致后期毛状根生长受抑制,POD基因表达水平随之上升,POD参与褐化反应。     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Ginkgo biloba</Emphasis> extract (EGb761) and FK506 preserve energy metabolites in the striatum during focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion in gerbils monitored by microdialysis

Cell death after cerebral ischemia is mediated by the accumulation of excitatory amino acids, calcium influx into cells and the generation of free radicals. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in energy-related metabolites in the striatum of gerbils subjected to focal cerebral ischemia after pretreatment withGinkgo biloba extract (EGb761), a well-known antioxidant, and FK506, a calcium-dependent phosphatase calcineurin inhibitor. Ischemia was induced by occlusion of the right common carotid artery and the right middle cerebral artery for 60 min. A microdialysis probe was inserted into the right striatum to monitor extracellular glucose, lactate and pyruvate levels. This study showed decreases in glucose (10% of the baseline), pyruvate (20% of the baseline) and lactate (60% of the baseline), and a 5-fold increase in the lactate to pyruvate ratio during ischemia in the control group. Both EGb761 treatment and the combination (EGb761 and FK506) therapy significantly preserved glucose (50% of the baseline) and pyruvate (60% of the baseline) levels during ischemia. The marked increase in the lactate to pyruvate ratio was not observed in the combination group. These results suggest that preservation of cellular energy metabolism during cerebral ischemia and after restoration with reperfusion may contribute to the neuroprotective effects of EGb761 and FK506.
