ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the influence of propofol on the binding function of GABA A receptor. Methods: By using radioligand receptor binding assay, effects of propofol on the specific binding of 3H GABA and saturation curves of GABA A receptor were observed in cortical membrane preparations from mouse cerebral cortex. Results: Specific binding experiments showed that propofol at the concentrations of 10 300 ?mol/L markedly enhanced the specific binding of 3H GABA( P 0.05). Conclusion: Clinical concentrations of propofol can enhance the binding function of GABA A receptor through increasing the affinity of the low affinity binding site of GABA.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore molecular mechanism and the curative effect of Yisuishengxue powder and its function of the hepersensitive site 2 (HS2) in ?-globin gene cluster locus control region binding with nucleoprotein.Methods After 3 months treatment of Yisuishengxue powder, nucleoprotein was extracted from the morrow cell before and after treatment. The HS2 DNA probes was combined with nucleoproteins.Electrophoresis gel mobile lag was utilized for observing the mobile velocity of DNA segment.Observe the mobile velocity of DNA probes.Results The mobile velocity of probes combined with nucleoproteins before treatment was different form that of the controls, while it was very close to the controls after treatment.Conclusions It is suggested that this compounding medicine might affect the DNA segment of HS2 site in ?-LCR binding with nucleoprotein GATA-1, which may be one molecular mechanism of Chinese herb therapy.
