RESUMEN
Aim To study the effects of resveratrol(Res)on the release of soluble adhesion molecules from human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)induced by N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylal-anine(fMLP)and the adhesion between neutrophils and HUVECs.Methods The effects of Res on neutrophils adhesion to human umbilical endothelial cell(HUVECs)triggered by fMLP were examined.The soluble intercellular cell adhesive molecule-1(ICAM-1),the soluble vascular cell adhesive molecule-1(VCAM-1)and E-selectin release from fMLP(10 ?mol?L-1)stimulated HUVECs were determined by ELISA kits.The neutrophils isolated from human vein blood were loaded with Fluo-3,a fluorescent indicator,to detect intracellular free calcium concentration([Ca2+]i),and CLA was used as a chemiluminescent indicator to determine superoxide production in neutrophils.Results Res(1~50 ?mol?L-1)significantly inhibited neutrophil adhesion to fMLP-stimulated HUVECs and also obviously downregulated the levels of ICAM-1,VCAM-1 and E-selectin in supernatant of HUVECs culture stimulated by fMLP in the dose-dependent pattern.Res also suppressed fMLP-activated superoxide generation and[Ca2+]i increase in neutrophils.Conclusions Res involved in neutrophil adhesion to HUVECs intermediated by cell adhesive molecules expression trigged by[Ca2+]i and superoxide production in neutrophils,which means a lot to prevent inflammatory diseases.
RESUMEN
AIM: To study the effects of resveratral on lipid peroxidative reaction and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in experimental spinal cord injury rats. METHODS: The weight dropping method was used to produce the experimental spinal cord injury (SCI) in adult rats. Resveratrol (Res) and methylprednisolone (MPSS) were given intraperitoneally by the bolus injections of 50, 100 mg?kg -1 and 100 mg?kg -1 , respectively, immediately after induction of SCI. And then the effects of Res were observed at 1, 24, 48 h after SCI compared with MPSS. RESULTS: Res could obvious prevented reduction of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and reduce malondialdehyde (MDA) production and inhibit the ROS level in the injured spinal cord tissue in comparison with the SCI model at the dose of 50 mg?kg -1 and 100 mg?kg -1 , which the most remarkable effects was at 48 h with the inhibition rate over 40%. The effects of Res were the same as or even greater than those of MPSS. CONCLUSION: Res may effectively protect the spinal cord from lipid peroxidative reaction and ROS damage in SCI.
RESUMEN
Aim Pharmacological intervention is one of important strategies to deal with spinal cord injury.The effect of Pharmacological intervention has highly differentiated features because of complex physiopathology mechanisms in SCI.Moreover contraindications,complications having different features,it is constantly the focal point in the selection of pharmacological intervention to protect spinal cord,attenuate secondary injury and promote injuried neuron regeneration.At present only several of those have been applied in clinic and the majority are still being carried out in clinic trial stage,even preclinical animal experiment stage.This paper made a particular review of the current situation in pharmacological intervention for spinal cord injury.
RESUMEN
AIM To study the effects of resveratrol on secondary spinal cord edema and the activity of lactic dehydrogenase and Na +, K + ATPase in experimental spinal cord injury (SCI)rat. METHODS The weight dropping method was used to produce the experimental spinal cord injury in adult rats. Resveratrol (Res) and methylprednisolone (MPSS) were intraperitoneally by the bolus injections of 50 mg?kg -1 , 100 mg?kg -1 and 100 mg?kg -1 , respectively, immediately after the induction of SCI. And then the effects of Res were observed at 1 h, 24 h, 48 h after SCI compared with MPSS. RESULTS Res could obvious inhibit the secondary spinal cord edema with the most remarkable suppressing rate by 11 5% at 48 h. Res was able to significantly suppress the activities of the lactic dehydrogenase with the highest suppressing rate for over 40% at 24 h. In the meantime, Res markedly improved the Na +, K + ATPase activities that promoted to the biggest extent to 60% at 48 h. The effects of Res were the same as or even stronger than those of MPSS. CONCLUSION Res may effectively protect the spinal cord from secondary spinal cord edema and improve the energy metabolism system in SCI. It suggested that Res may be having potent therapeutic effect on SCI.
