RESUMEN

Nuclear factor erythroid-related factor 2 (Nrf2) has been implicated in several detoxifying and antioxidant defense processes. Nrf2-mediated heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression was demonstrated to play a key role against oxidative stress. Gastrodin (GSTD) is a well-known active compound isolated from the roots of Rhizoma gastrodiae, a plant used in ancient Chinese traditional medicine. The aim of this work was to investigate whether GSTD could alleviate H2O2-induced oxidative stress in mouse liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). In LSECs exposed to 1 mM H2O2, treatment with GSTD (1, 10, or 50 µM) resulted in higher cell viability than the untreated control. Treated cells maintained a higher Bcl2/Bax ratio and suppressed caspase-9 expression compared with untreated cells, reducing cell apoptosis. GSTD was protective for H2O2-induced oxidative injury by reducing the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde. HO-1 and Nrf2 expressions were synergistically upregulated by GSTD. Inhibition of HO-1 by 10 µM zinc protoporphyrin resulted in less protective effects on cell viability and malondialdehyde reduction by GSTD treatment in H2O2-exposed LSECs. Additionally, phosphorylated p38 in LSECs exposed to H2O2 was elevated by GSTD. Inhibition of p38 phosphorylation by SB203580 did not induce Nrf2 and HO-1 expression after 1 or 10 µM GSTD treatment and the protective effect on cell viability and malondialdehyde reduction in H2O2-exposed LSECs was reduced. The data conclusively demonstrated that GSTD-induced HO-1 and Nrf2 expression is involved in protection of LSECs from H2O2-induced oxidative injury, which may be regulated by p38 phosphorylation.

RESUMEN

To investigate the relationship of blood ATP content with temperature and time of preservation and to establish its mathematical model, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration was applied as the index of the quality of erythrocytes; systematical study on variation of blood preserved in a series of different temperatures from 4 degrees C to 32 degrees C was performed, and a series of experimental data were obtained. The results showed that when the ATP concentration y = f (d, t, s) in preserved blood was given as the continuous function of the time (d), the temperature (t) and the initiate ATP concentration (s), the model was fitted with the theory of linearity regression in symbolic statistics, and the general mathematical physical equation of the variation of preserved blood quality was deduced. According to the equation, the whole blood in CPDA-1 solution could be efficiently stored for 35, 35, 29, 22, 18, 18, 13, 8, 7, 6, 6, 5, 4, 4 and 3 days in 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 and 32 degrees C, respectively. In conclusion, the general tendency of the variation of preserved blood quality according to the temperature and the time was systematically disclosed for the first time, which would be propitious to estimate the blood quality in various temperatures and to instruct clinical blood transfusion.
