To observe the antioxidant effects of water extract of Carthamus tinctorius on ox-LDL induced injury in rat cardiac microvascular endothelial cell and detecting oxygen derived free radicals (OFR) to explore the antioxidant mechanisms.
By using the third generation of rat cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (rCMEC), the protection of water extract of C. tinctorius was investigated after ox-LDL (100 mg x L(-1) induced damage. The supernatant was collected for detecting lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), xanthine oxidase (XOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), nitric oxide (NO), nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity, and cell suspension was collected for detecting reactive oxygen species (ROS) by electron spin resonance (ESR).
Water extract of C. tinctorius increased the rCMEC survival rate, reduced LDH, MDA and XOD levels, and improved SOD, GSH-Px and NOS activity, while in the cell suspension ROS signal decreased significantly.
Water extract of C. tinctorius has antioxidation. The mechanisms are likely related with scavenging of free radicals, enhancing its clearance, enhancing endogenous antioxidant activity.
观察红花水提取物对氧化型低密度脂蛋白(ox-LDL)诱导的大鼠心脏微血管内皮细胞损伤的抗氧化作用,并检测氧自由基(OFR)以探讨其抗氧化机制。
采用第三代大鼠心脏微血管内皮细胞(rCMEC),观察在ox-LDL(100 mg·L⁻¹)诱导损伤后红花水提取物的保护作用。收集上清液检测乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)、丙二醛(MDA)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、黄嘌呤氧化酶(XOD)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)、一氧化氮(NO)、一氧化氮合酶(NOS)活性,收集细胞悬液用电子自旋共振(ESR)检测活性氧(ROS)。
红花水提取物提高了rCMEC存活率,降低了LDH、MDA和XOD水平,提高了SOD、GSH-Px和NOS活性,同时细胞悬液中ROS信号显著降低。
红花水提取物具有抗氧化作用。其机制可能与清除自由基、增强其清除能力、增强内源性抗氧化活性有关。
