THE PROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF THE TOTAL SAPONIN OF DIPSACUS ASPEROIDES ON THE APOPTOSIS OF HIPPOCAMPAL NEURONS INDUCED BY β-AMYLOID PROTEIN

Objective To investigate the effects of the total saponin of Dipsacus asperoides (tSDA) and ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1) on the apoptosis of primary cultured hippocampal neurons induced by β-amyloid protein (Aβ). Methods Primary cultured hippocampal neurons, the cultures were pretreated with tSDA and GRb1 on 10d for 24 hours respectively. Then the cultures were treated with 35μmol·L-1 Aβ25-35 for 24 hours, observed the changing of survival rate of neurons and the apoptosis of neurons with biochemical analysis combining immunofluorescent cytochemical double-staining technique. Results Hippocampal neurons were treated with 35μmol*L-1 Aβ for 24 hours, and survival rate of neurons downed to 52.6%. When neurons were pretreated by tSDA and GRb1, survival rate of neurons increased 11% to 15%. The findings of immunofluorescent cytochemical double-staining indicated that apoptotic neurons were obviously more than that of the blank group, reaching 43.9%.When neurons were pretreated by tSDA and GRb1, apoptotic neurons were downed to 16.6%, 10.8% respectively. Conclusion tSDA had the same effects as GRb1, protecting the neurons, antagonizing neurotoxicity of Aβ, increasing survival rate of neurons, and reducing apoptotic neurons induced by Aβ.

川续断总皂甙对β-淀粉样蛋白诱导海马神经元凋亡的保护作用

目的研究川续断总皂甙(tSDA)和人参皂甙Rb1(GRb1)对β淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)介导引起的原代培养海马神经细胞凋亡的影响,旨在阐明tSDA抗Alzheimer病(AD)机理奠定基础.方法原代培养海马神经细胞,于培养第10天用tSDA和GRb1分别预先处理培养细胞24 h,然后再用35 μmol·L-1Aβ处理培养细胞24 h,采用生化分析和免疫荧光细胞化学双标技术观察神经细胞生存率和凋亡变化.结果用35 μmol·L-1Aβ 25～35处理海马神经细胞24 h后,神经细胞的存活率降至52.6%;当预先加入tSDA和GRb1后,Aβ毒性减小,神经细胞存活率增加了11%～15%.免疫荧光细胞化学双标检测表明凋亡细胞明显高于空白对照组达43.9%;当预先加入tSDA与GRb1,凋亡神经细胞分别降至16.6%、10.8%.结论 tSDA与GRb1有相类似功效,具有神经保护作用,对抗Aβ神经毒作用,提高细胞生存率,减少由Aβ诱导的神经细胞凋亡.
