ABSTRACT
Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole/time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/TOF-MS/MS) has been used to detect the metabolites of schaftoside in plasma, bile, urine and feces of mice after oral administration. The study was approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee from Xuzhou Medical University (No. XZMULL201612024). Compounds were identified by analyzing their high-resolution mass spectrometry data, mass spectra, and comparison with reference substances and the literatures. The parent compound and 29 metabolites were detected in the plasma, bile, urine and feces samples of mice. The main metabolic pathways of schaftoside in mice include deglycosylation/glycosylation, hydroxylation/dehydroxylation, hydrogenation, methylation, acetylation, sulfation, and glucuronidation. This study provides references for the material basis of schaftoside in vivo.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the immunoregulatory effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)on peripheral blood T lymphocytes from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)in vitro and their potential mechanism.Methods MSCs were isolated from the bone marrow of 3 healthy human volunteers,cultivated and identified.Under phytohemagglutinin(PHA)stimulating,peripheral blood T lymphocytes from 8 patients with SLE were treated with MSCs with the T lymphocyte/MSC ratio being 50:1 in group B and 5:1 in group C or without MSCs(group A).MTT assay was used to detect the proliferation of T lymphocytes.flow cytometry to analyze the expressions of surface markers CD152 and CD28 on T lymphocytes.and real time PCR to measure the mRNA expressions of interleukin-6 and interferon-γ,in the T lymphocytes.Results MSCs could markedly inhibit the proliferation of T lymphocytcs.The proliferation of T lymphocytes expressed as absorbance value at 570 nm was 0.484±0.032 in group B.0.308±0.025 in group C,significantly lower than that in group A(0.765±0.036,both P＜0.05),and significant difference was also observed between group C and B(P＜0.05).In the case of the percentage of CD28 positive T lymphocytes.group B and C were significantly lower than group A(60.39%±3.92%and 45.05%±3.46%vs 74.73%±3.74%,both P＜0.05),and group B significantly differed from group C(P＜0.05).MSCs had no obvious effect on the expression of CD152 on T lymphocytes,but significantly suppressed the mRNA expression of interleukin-6 and interferon-γ(both P＜0.05).and the suppressive effect was enhanced with the incrgase in MSC count.ConclusionsMSCs exert an immunosuppressive effect on T lymphocytes from patients with SLE,likely through inhibiting the proliferation,CD28 expression,interleukin-6 and interferon-γ mRNA expression of T lymphocytes.
