To assess the acute organ toxicity of Strychnos nux-vomica with zebrafish model visually.
To assess acute toxicity, we initially determined the lethal concentration after Strychnos nux-vomica treatment for 24 h. Zebrafish was treated with five concentrations ≦ LC10 for 24 h, and the effects of Strychnos nux-vomica on morphology, function of heart, central nervous system, liver, kidney and organ-specific cell death were assessed. Next, we assessed the reversibility of toxic effect.
Strychnos nux-vomica has an effect on the different organs of zebrafish, including heart, central nervous system, liver, and kidney, and cadiotoxicity induced by Strychnos nux-vomica was reversible to some extent.
Zebrafish model is suitable for confirming the toxic target organs for Chinese traditional medicine.
采用斑马鱼模型直观评估马钱子的急性器官毒性。
为评估急性毒性,我们首先测定马钱子处理24小时后的致死浓度。用五个浓度≤LC10的马钱子处理斑马鱼24小时,评估马钱子对形态、心脏功能、中枢神经系统、肝脏、肾脏及器官特异性细胞死亡的影响。接下来,我们评估毒性作用的可逆性。
马钱子对斑马鱼的不同器官有影响,包括心脏、中枢神经系统、肝脏和肾脏,且马钱子诱导的心脏毒性在一定程度上是可逆的。
斑马鱼模型适用于确定中药的毒性靶器官。
