ABSTRACT

AIM To investigate the structures and immunomodulation activity of four homogeneous polysaccharides: LBP 1a-1, LBP 1a-2, LBP 3a-1 and LBP 3a-2 isolated from Lycium barbarum L. brought from Zhongning County, Ningxia Province. METHODS Their molecular weights, sugar component (constituents) and their linkages were determined by gel permeation chromatography, acid hydrolysis, periodate oxidation and NMR spectrum. The activity of immunomodulation was evaluated with splenocyte proliferation by [3H]-TDR incorperation, in vitro. RESULTS Four polysaccharides with molecular weights 11.5×104, 9.4×104, 10.3×104 and 8.2×104, were shown to enhance splenocyte proliferation induced by ConA. LBP 1a-1 and LBP 1a-2 were α-(1→6)-D-glucans. LBP 3a-1 and LBP 3a-2 were found to be α-(1→4)-D-polygalacturonans. CONCLUSION The four polysaccharides were first isolated from this plant. Polysaccharides with main chain of α-(1→4)-D-polygalacturonans showed stronger immunomodulation activity.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To research the age-related changes of thymocyte subsets and Notch 1,Presenilin 1,Presenilin 2,HES1 mRNA expression in senescence-accelerated mice during aging,and analyze the relation of the two changes.Methods:Thymocyte subsets were assayed by flow cytometry,the expression of Notch 1,Presenilin 1,Presenilin 2,HES1 mRNA was detected by quantitative real-time PCR fluorescence assay.Results:The rate of CD4+CD8+ double-positive(DP) cell of thymocytes was fairly high in first-and second-week-old SAM,and began to decrease at four-week-old,but no significant difference was observed between SAMP8 and SAMR1 of the same age.The rate of CD4+CD8-single-positive(SP) cell of thymocytes in SAM was age-related increased,yet no significant difference was overserved between SAMP8 and SAMR1,except that it was much lower at the eighth week in SAMP8 than in SAMR1.The rate of CD4-CD8+ SP cell of thymocytes in SAM was also age-related increased,but it was obviously higher in SAMP8 than in SAMR1 after the fourth week.The expression of Notch 1,Presenilin 2 and HES1 gene is age-related increased.The Notch 1 gene was higher at each week in SAMP8 than in SAMR1,but presenilin 2 and HES1 were observed higher in SAMP8 than in SAMR1 only after the fourth week.On the contrary,Presenilin 1 gene was age-related decreased,and it was lower in SAMP8 than in SAMR1 after the fourth week.Conclusion:It suggestes that the expression level of Notch 1,Presenilin 2 and HES1 gene positively correlated with the differentiation of CD4-CD8+ SP thymocyte,while presenilin 1 gene evidenced a significant negative correlated with it.

ABSTRACT

Object To isolate the immunoactive polysaccharide from Astragalus mongholicus Bunge and elucidate its chemical structure Methods The polysaccharide was purified from water extracts of A mongholicus by ethanol precipitation, deproteination, selective precipitation with hexadecyltri methylammonium bromide, ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography Its homogeneity and molecular weight were estimated by gel filtration chromatography, the structure was deduced from sugar analysis, methylation analysis, Smith degradation, IR and 13 CNMR spectrophotometry Results A homogeneous polysaccharide A2Nb was obtained with a molecular mass of 360 000 , and composed of D glucose with a major linkage form of ? D (1→4) glucose Side chains were found at 6 O positions once in every 25 glucose residues Conclusion A high molecular weight glucan A2Nb was obtained from A mongholicus for the first time It showed the ability of promoting the proliferation of the splenocytes of mice

ABSTRACT

Objective:To research the effect of Liuwei Dihuang decoction and its decomposed recipes on gene expression related to thymocyte differentiation in normal mice and SAMP8.Methods:The expression of Notch1,Presenilin1,Presenilin2,HES1 mRNA was detected by quantitative real-time fluorescence PCR assay.Results:After oral administation of Liuwei Dihuang decoction(5,10,20 g/kg),the expressions of Presenilin2 and HES1 gene in thymocytes of normal mice were increased.After oral administation of Liuwei Dihuang decoction(10 g/kg)and SB,SX,the expressions of Presenilin2 and HES1 in thymocytes of normal mice were decreased.Conclusion:It is suggested that Liuwei Dihuang Decoction can increase the Notch signal intensity in the normal mice thymocytes and decrease that in SAMP8,which is immuno-senescenced mice.
