天麻素对Aβ_(1-42)致痴呆大鼠模型的保护作用及机制探究

为了探讨天麻素(Gastrodin)对Aβ1-42致痴呆大鼠的药理作用及其作用机制,本研究主要通过向SD大鼠海马区微注射Aβ1-42建立大鼠痴呆模型,并在此模型的基础上评价天麻素对阿尔茨海默病的药理作用。实验分为5组:正常组、模型组、低剂量天麻素治疗组(1 mg/kg)、中剂量天麻素治疗组(5 mg/kg)和高剂量天麻素治疗组(25 mg/kg)。天麻素治疗组SD大鼠微注射Aβ1-42后,连续灌胃天麻素14 d,模型组SD大鼠微注射Aβ1-42后,连续灌胃生理盐水14 d。通过水迷宫实验检测各组大鼠行为学变化;用ELISA法检测脑组织中SOD活性、MDA含量和GSH-Px的含量。通过HE染色观察各组SD大鼠脑组织的病理学变化。通过TUNEL法检测各组大鼠脑组织的脑细胞凋亡情况。使用Western blot法检测脑组织中GSK-3β的磷酸化水平。结果发现,模型组大鼠的学习记忆能力明显下降,脑组织出现严重的损伤和凋亡现象,并且脑组织中SOD和GSH-Px的活性明显降低,而MDA含量显著升高。通过天麻素的治疗干预后,我们发现,天麻素治疗可以显著逆转上述的损伤现象,并且天麻素的这种保护作用具有一定的剂量依赖性。与此同时,我们还发现,高剂量天麻素可显著升高脑组织中GSK-3β磷酸化水平。以上结果表明,天麻素对海马区微注射Aβ1-42致痴呆SD大鼠有一定的改善和保护作用,其作用机制可能是激活GSK-3β信号通路发挥抗氧化和抗凋亡作用。

Effects of melatonin on oxidative-antioxidative status of tissues in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

In view of the antioxidant properties of melatonin, the effects of melatonin on the oxidative-antioxidative status of tissues affected by diabetes, e.g. liver, heart and kidneys, were investigated in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats in the present study. Concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH), and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the tissues were compared in three groups of 10 rats each (control non-diabetic rats (group I), untreated diabetic rats (group II) and diabetic rats treated with melatonin (group III)). In the study groups, diabetes developed 3 days after intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of a single 60 mg kg(-1) dose of STZ. Thereafter, while the rats in group II received no treatment, the rats in group III began to receive a 10 mg kg(-1) i.p. dose of melatonin per day. After 6 weeks, the rats in groups II and III had significantly lower body weights and higher blood glucose levels than the rats in group I (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). MDA levels in the liver, kidney and heart of group II rats were higher than that of the control group (p < 0.01, p < 0.05, p < 0.01, respectively) and diabetic rats treated with melatonin (p < 0.05). The GSH, GSH-Px and SOD levels increased in diabetic rats. Treatment with melatonin changed them to near control values. Our results confirm that diabetes increases oxidative stress in many organs such as liver, kidney and heart and indicate the role of melatonin in combating the oxidative stress via its free radical-scavenging and antioxidant properties.

17β-Estradiol and Vitamin E Modulates Oxidative Stress-Induced Kidney Toxicity in Diabetic Ovariectomized Rat

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) and 17β-estradiol (E(2)) supplementation on malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), vitamin A, beta carotene, selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), zinc-dependent superoxide dismutase (SOD), and copper/zinc-dependent catalase (CAT) values in the kidney of ovariectomized (OVX) diabetic rats. Forty-two female rats were randomly divided into seven equal groups as follows: group I, control; group II, OVX; group III, OVX+E(2); group IV, OVX+E(2)+alpha-tocopherol; group V, OVX+diabetic; group VI, OVX+diabetic+E(2); and group VII, OVX+diabetic+E(2)+alpha-tocopherol. E(2) (40?μg?kg(-1)/day) and alpha-tocopherol (100?μg?kg(-1)/day) were given. Bilateral ovariectomy was performed in all groups except group I. After 4?weeks, antioxidant and MDA levels in the kidney for all groups were analyzed. GSH-Px, CAT, SOD, GSH levels, vitamin A, and beta carotene levels were decreased in OVX group compared to those in the control group but MDA level was elevated via ovariectomy. However, E(2) and E(2)+alpha-tocopherol supplementations in OVX group was associated with an increase in the GSH-Px, GSH, CAT and Zn-SOD values, vitamin A, and beta carotene levels but a decrease in MDA levels in kidney. The MDA levels in the kidney of diabetic OVX rats were found higher than those in the control and OVX groups. However, GSH, GSH-Px, CAT, SOD, vitamin A, and beta carotene levels in kidney were lower in OVX diabetic rats. On the other hand, E(2) and E(2)+alpha-tocopherol supplementations to OVX diabetic rats have caused an increase in GSH-Px, CAT and SOD, GSH, vitamin A, and beta carotene levels but a decrease in MDA levels. In conclusion, the E(2) and E(2)+alpha-tocopherol supplementations to diabetic OVX and OVX rats may strengthen the antioxidant defense system by reducing lipid peroxidation, and therefore they may play a role in preventing renal disorders.     

艾塞那肽对糖尿病大鼠肾脏损伤的保护作用

目的：探讨GLP-1类似物艾塞那肽（exenatide）对链脲佐菌素诱导的糖尿病大鼠肾脏的保护作用。方法：SD大鼠随机分为正常组（NC组,n=8）和模型组;模型组给予高脂高糖饲料,喂养4周后腹腔注射STZ（30 mg·kg^-1）建模,72 h后以血糖≥ 16.7 mmol·L^-1为糖尿病成模标准,将成模大鼠随机分为糖尿病对照组（DM组,n=10）、3 μg·kg^-1艾塞那肽干预（Ex-1）组和6μg·kg^-1艾塞那肽干预（Ex-2）组;艾塞那肽组连续皮下注射艾塞那肽（bid）12周,NC组和DM组注射等容积溶剂;测定各组大鼠糖脂代谢变化和肾功能指标如血肌酐（Scr）、尿肌酐（Ucr）、尿素氮（BUN）、24 h尿微量白蛋白排出率（24 h UMA）并计算肌酐清除率（Ccr）;测定肾组织氧化应激指标超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、丙二醛（MDA）和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶（GSH-Px）;HE染色观察肾组织病理形态及ELISA法测定肾组织糖基化终末产物AGEs水平。结果：与糖尿病组相比,艾塞那肽可明显改善糖尿病大鼠糖脂代谢,血糖、糖基化血红蛋白（HbAlc）、甘油三脂及胆固醇值均下降（P < 0.05）,肾功能指标明显好转（P < 0.05）且肌酐清除率下降（P < 0.05）,提示肾小球高滤过状态;同时改善糖尿病引起的肾组织病理结构改变,AGEs浓度下降（P < 0.05）,氧化应激指标SOD和GSH-Px活力升高,MDA含量降低（P < 0.05）。结论：艾塞那肽具有肾脏保护作用,其机制可能与抑制糖尿病大鼠肾组织的AGEs生成和改善氧化应激有关。     

Protective effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes in diabetic rat liver

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on lipid peroxidation (LPO) and the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the liver of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Twenty-seven rats were randomly divided into three groups: group I, control non-diabetic rats (n = 9); group II, STZ-induced, untreated diabetic rats (n = 8); group III, STZ-induced, CAPE-treated diabetic rats (n = 10), which were intraperitoneally injected with CAPE (10 microM kg(-1) day(-1)) after 3 days followed by STZ treatment. The liver was excised after 8 weeks of CAPE treatment, the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the activities of SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px in the hepatic tissues of all groups were analyzed. In the untreated diabetic rats, MDA markedly increased in the hepatic tissue compared with the control rats (p < 0.0001). However, MDA levels were reduced to the control level by CAPE. The activities of SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px in the untreated diabetic group were higher than that in the control group (p < 0.0001). The activities of SOD and GSH-Px in the CAPE-treated diabetic group were higher than that in the control group (respectively, p < 0.0001, p < 0.035). There were no significant differences in the activity of CAT between the rats of CAPE-treated diabetic and control groups. Rats in the CAPE-treated diabetic group had reduced activities of SOD and CAT in comparison with the rats of untreated diabetic group (p < 0.0001). There were no significant differences in the activity of GSH-Px between the rats of untreated diabetic and CAPE-treated groups. It is likely that STZ-induced diabetes caused liver damage. In addition, LPO may be one of the molecular mechanisms involved in STZ-induced diabetic damage. CAPE can reduce LPO caused by STZ-induced diabetes.     

Effects of Aspirin and Nimesulide on tissue damage in diabetic rats

This study was designed to compare the effect of Aspirin (AS) and Nimesulide (NM) on renal failure and vascular disorder in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Rats were divided into four groups; control, diabetic rats, diabetic rats plus AS and diabetic rats plus NM, which are COX inhibitors. The renal and aorta tissues morphology were investigated by light microscopy. Trunk blood was also obtained to determine plasma lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde (MDA) and plasma activity of antioxidant enzymes. MDA levels were increased in the diabetic rats when compared to the control group. AS and NM administration caused a significant decrease in MDA production. Morphological damage in diabetic rats was severe in the kidney and in the aorta tissue. Treatment of AS reduced these damages, but NM did not exert positive effect on these damages in diabetic rats. As a result, although both AS and NM corrected lipid peroxidation parameters such as MDA via their antioxidant properties, only AS ameliorated pathological alteration in tissues. These findings indicate that there may be another mechanism in beneficial effect of AS in diabetic rats.
