Abstract:
Hepatotoxicity is one of the most common adverse reactions during anti-hyperlipidemia treatment. Mechanisms of anti-hyperlipidemia drug-induced hepatotoxicity are not clear yet, but most of the toxic reactions are dose-related hypersensitivity and could be released after drug withdrawal. It is accepted that clinical risk factors for the development of hepatotoxicity during anti-hyperlipidemia treatment are high age and chronic illnesses. Treatment of anti-hyperlipidemia drug-induced hepatotoxicity has not been unified and most of the treatments are non-specific and symptomatic. Researching hypotoxicity and hepatoprotection antihyperlipidemia drug, especially TCM and pharmaceutics will become a promising direction.

SHAO Shuai, CUI Guanghua, ZHOU Xu, GAO Zhonggao, HUANG Wei
2014, 32(6): 419-424. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-0111.2014.06.006
Abstract:
Objective This study aimed to optimize the preparation condition of DNA-chitosan nanoparticles with high transfection efficency through a central composition design. Methods The DNA-chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by complex coacervation between pEGFP and chitosan. We selected the concentrations of chitosan and plasmid as two experimental factors, and a central composite design with two factors and five levels was used to optimize the preparation condition of DNA-chitosan nanoparticles for high transfection efficency. The concentrations of chitosan and plasmid were selected as the independent variables, respectively. The dependent variables included average particle size and transfection efficiency. The morphology of DNA-chitosan nanoparticles was observed using a transmission electron microscope. The size and zeta potential of nanoparticles were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and electrophoretic light scattering (ELS), respectively. The stability of plasmids in the process of nanoparticles preparation was investigated through the agrose gel electrophoresis. The expression of plasmids delivered by nanoparticles was observed under an inverted fluorescence microscope. The transfection efficiency of DNA-chitosan nanoparticles was assayed by flow cytometry. Results The preparation condition of DNA-chitosan nanoparticles with high transfection efficency was optimized successfully. Under the optimum preparative conditions, the DNA-chitosan nanoparticles were almost spherical. The average size of nanoparticles was 217.6nm, and distributed in a narrow range with a polydispersity index of 0.241. The zeta potential was +22.4 mV, which suggested that a den-sity of positive charge exist onto the surface of nanoparticles and consequently enhanced the stability of nanoparticles suspension. The results of gel electrophoresis showed that plasmids were not destroyed in the process of nanoparticles preparation. The cell transfection of nanoparticles was very highly efficient. The nanoparticles could effectively deliver the pEGFP plasmids into cells to express the green fluorescent protein at a high level. Conclusion The established mathematic models have the good predictive function. Under the optimum preparative conditions, the DNA-chitosan nanoparticles have the high potential of cell transfection.

2014, 32(6): 428-433. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-0111.2014.06.008
Abstract:
Objective To investigate the optimal method for synthesizing thiolated doxorubicin. Methods Thiolated doxorubicin was synthesized through two different methods. Doxorubicin was reacted with 2-iminothiolane (2-IT) and S-acetylthioglycolic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (SATA),respectively. The synthesized thiolated doxorubicin was further characterized by HPLC and MS-ESI techniques. Several factors including molar ratios as well as reaction time were evaluated. Results The results showed that thiolated doxorubicin could be synthesized via both of the two methods successfully. Thiolated doxorubicin could be stable when doxorubicin was reacted with SATA. But the crude thiolated doxorubicin could be cyclized easily when doxorubicin was reacted with 2-IT. Conclusion Thiolated doxorubicin prepared with SATA is more feasible than that with 2-IT.

Abstract:
Objective To investigate the influencing factors of the protein stability and hemolytic activity of tentacle extract (TE) from the jellyfish Cyanea capillata. Methods Effects of various factors and treatments on the protein stability and hemolytic activity of TE were explored by protein detection, hemolytic assay and SDS-PAGE analysis. Results TE caused a significant and dose-dependent hemolytic effect, and the HU50 of TE against 0.5% erythrocyte suspensions from SD rats was 226 μg/ml. A 40℃ water bath for 1 hour could effectively remove the contaminating proteins in TE. TE retained hemolytic activity at 4℃ for 28 days but it was unstable when kept at 25℃ over 3 days. TE was active in the range from pH 6.0 to 11.0 and the optimum pH was 8.0. Various buffer solutions had significantly different effects on the stability and hemolytic activity of TE, and a good salting-out effect was observed on the hemolytic protein of TE while the concentration of ammonium sulfate solutions was greater than 26%. Conclusion A 40℃ water bath for 1 hour could effectively remove the contaminating proteins in TE and reduce its viscosity. The optimum conditions for maintaining stability and hemolytic activity of TE were 4℃ and pH 8.0. The salting-out effect from 26% and more ammonium sulfate solutions would be conducive to the enrichment of hemolytic protein.
