RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the components of proteins from Echinococcus granulosus cyst fluid using the shotgun method, and to identify the active components with potential regulatory effects for immune dysregulation diseases. Methods The E. granulosus cyst fluid was collected aseptically from the hepatic cysts of patients with cystic echinococcosis, and characterized by liquid chromatography (LC) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) following digestion with trypsin. The protein data were searched using the software MaxQuant version 1.6.1.0 and the cellular components, molecular functions, and biological processes of the identified proteins were analyzed using the Gene Ontology (GO) method. Results The E. granulosus cyst fluid separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) had a relative molecular mass of 25 to 70 kDa. LS-MS/MS analysis identified 37 proteins, including 32 known proteins and 5 unknown proteins. At least 4 proteins were preliminarily found to exhibit potential regulatory effects for immune dysregulation diseases, including antigen B, glutathione-S-transferase (GST), thioredoxin peroxidase (TPX) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH). GO enrichment analysis showed that the identified proteins had 149 molecular functions and were involved in 341 biological processes. Conclusions E. granulosus cyst fluid has a variety of protein components, and four known proteins are preliminarily identified to be associated with immune dysregulation diseases.
RESUMEN
AIM To study the chemical constituents from Pogonatherum crinitum (Thunb.) Kunthand and their in vitro anti-HBV activities.METHODS The ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions of 70％ ethanol extract from P.crinitum were isolated and purified by AB-8 macroporous resin,silica column and Sephadex LH-20,then the structures of obtained compounds were identified by physicochemical properties and spectral data.The in vitro anti-HBV activities of the isolated compounds were tested in the model of HepG2.2.15 cells.RESULTS Eight compounds were isolated and identified as 6,8,4'-trihydroxy-7,3'-dimethoxyisoflavone (1),quercetin-7,4'-dimethylester-5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2),8-(1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) ethyl) quercetin (3),chrysoeiml-7-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-D-glucopyranoside (4),kaempferol-3-O-(2",3"-di-O-E-p-cou-maroyl)-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (5),1,3,7-trihydroxyxanthone-2-C-β-D-glucopyra-noside (6),luteolin-6-C-β-D-boivinopyranoside (7),luteolin-6-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (8).Compounds 3,5,7,8 had certain inhibitory effects on HBsAg with the IC50 values of 96.6,127.1,72.4 and 54.5 μg/mL.Compounds 7,8 had certain inhibitory effects on HBeAg with the IC50 values of 81.0,61.3 μg/mL.CONCLUSION Compounds 1-6 are isolated from genus Pogonatherum for the first time,compounds 3、5、7、8 have certain in vitro anti-HBV activities.
