To explore the effects of Radix Sophorae Flavescentis carbonisata-based carbon dots (RSFC-CDs) on an ethanol-induced acute gastric ulcer rat model.
The structure, optical properties, functional groups and elemental composition of RSFC-CDs synthesized by one-step pyrolysis were characterized. The gastric protective effects of RSFC-CDs were evaluated and confirmed by applying a rat model of ethanol-induced acute gastric ulcers. The underlying mechanisms were investigated through the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signalling pathway and oxidative stress.
RSFC-CDs with a diameter ranging from 2-3 nm mainly showed gastric protective effects by reducing the levels of NF-κB, tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) to inhibit ethanol-induced inflammation and oxidative stress.
RSFC-CDs have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects, making them promising for application in ethanol-induced gastric injury.
探讨苦参炭基碳点(RSFC-CDs)对乙醇诱导的急性胃溃疡大鼠模型的影响。
采用一步热解法合成 RSFC-CDs,对其结构、光学性质、官能团和元素组成进行了表征。通过乙醇诱导的急性胃溃疡大鼠模型,评价和证实了 RSFC-CDs 的胃保护作用。通过核因子-κB(NF-κB)信号通路和氧化应激探讨其作用机制。
RSFC-CDs 的直径为 2-3nm,主要通过降低 NF-κB、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)、谷胱甘肽(GSH)、丙二醛(MDA)和诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)的水平,抑制乙醇诱导的炎症和氧化应激,从而发挥胃保护作用。
RSFC-CDs 具有抗炎和抗氧化作用,有望应用于乙醇诱导的胃损伤。
