绞股蓝种子休眠机理及其破除方法研究

以采自广西金秀县的绞股蓝种子为研究材料,对其休眠原因、休眠类型及其破眠方法进行了研究,为绞股蓝种子繁殖提供理论依据和技术支持。结果表明:(1)绞股蓝新采收成熟种子的生活力达91%,在10℃~35℃恒温和15℃/25℃变温中的发芽率均低于10%,新种子的生活力极显著大于发芽率,具有显著的休眠现象。(2)绞股蓝种皮不限制吸水,胚分化发育完全,离体胚发芽率为(78.0±4.8)%,且能够长成正常幼苗,说明绞股蓝种子的胚在离体条件下无休眠现象。(3)绞股蓝完整种子及其粉碎种子的水提液对白菜种子的萌发率、苗高及根长均有抑制作用,随水提液浓度增加抑制作用均显著增强,且粉碎种子的抑制作用较强;当粉碎种子的水提液浓度为5%时白菜种子萌发率、苗高、根长分别为18.0%、0.1cm、0.1cm,分别显著低于对照77.1%、97.3%、95.8%,说明绞股蓝种子的种皮和胚乳中存在水溶性萌发抑制物质,是绞股蓝种子休眠的主要原因。(4)GA3和6-BA不能促进绞股蓝种子萌发,低温层积对绞股蓝种子休眠的解除具有促进作用;绞股蓝种子的休眠属于生理休眠类型,休眠水平属于中间型。(5)低温干藏能够打破绞股蓝种子休眠,是绞股蓝种子破除休眠及种子保存较为理想的方式。

Specific reversal of multidrug resistance to colchicine in CEM/VLB100 cells by Gynostemma pentaphyllum extract

P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated multiple drug resistance (MDR) is perhaps the most thoroughly studied cellular mechanism of cytotoxic drug resistance. Its efflux function can be circumvented by a wide range of pharmacological agents in vitro and in vivo. Most of these agents are pharmaceuticals used clinically for conditions other than cancer. However, their use in alleviating MDR is limited because the concentrations required for inhibition of the pump surpass their dose-limiting toxicity. The aim of this research is to study the role of gypenosides, isolated from Gynostemma pentaphyllum, as modulators of P-gp-mediated MDR in tumor cells, at both cellular and plasma membrane level. In the presence of total gypenoside preparation (0.1 mg/ml), an approximately 15-fold reversal of colchicine (COL) resistance was observed in P-gp-overexpressed CEM/VLB₁₀₀ cells. However, the gypenoside sample showed no reversal effect in cells treated with vinblastine and taxol. A purified gypenoside sample (gypenoside fraction 100) exhibited even more significant reversal of COL resistance (42-fold) in the CEM/VLB₁₀₀ cells. Further examination of the reversal effect of fraction 100 in membrane vesicles derived from CEM/VLB₁₀₀ cells using the continuous fluorescence method found that gypenoside fraction 100 at 0.1 mg/ml completely abolished the transport of fluorescein–COL.     

Molecular evidence of anti-leukemia activity of gypenosides on human myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells in vitro and in vivo using a HL-60 cells murine xenograft model

We have shown that gypenosides (Gyp) induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in many human cancer cell lines. However, there are no reports showing that show Gyp acts on human leukemia HL-60 cells in vitro and in a murine xenograft model in vivo. In the present study effects of Gyp on cell morphological changes and viability, cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis in vitro and effects on Gyp in an in vivo murine xenograft model. Results indicated that Gyp induced morphological changes, decreased cell viability, induced G0/G1 arrest, DNA fragmentation and apoptosis (sub-G1 phase) in HL-60 cells. Gyp increased reactive oxygen species production and Ca²⁺ levels but reduced mitochondrial membrane potential in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Gyp also changed one of the primary indicators of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress due to the promotion of ATF6-α and ATF4-α associated with Ca²⁺ release. Gyp reduced the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax due to an increase in the pro-apoptotic protein Bax and inhibited levels of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. Oral consumption of Gyp reduced tumor size of HL-60 cell xenograft mode mice in vivo. These results provide new information on understanding mechanisms by which Gyp induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in vitro and in vivo.
