To study the protective effect of ginsenosides (Gin) against anoxic injury in brain cells.
On d 12 after plating of the hippocampal cells from newborn rat, the cultures were exposed to anoxic atmosphere (95% N2 + 5% CO2) for 4-24 h. The cellular morphology, survival rate, and effluxes of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and K+ from cells were observed.
After 24-h anoxia, the survival rate of cells was decreased from 92% +/- 4% before anoxia to 1.0% +/- 2.0%; the effluxes of LDH and K+ were increased from 2.3 +/- 0.6 U L-1 and 5.56 +/- 0.16 mmol L-1 before anoxia to 36 +/- 5 U L-1 and 8.5 +/- 0.7 mmol L-1, respectively. In the Gin group exposed anoxia for 24 h, the survival rate of cells was 4% +/- 4%; the effluxes of LDH and K+ were 30 +/- 3 U L-1 and 7.9 +/- 0.8 mmol L-1, respectively. All these changes were lower in Gin group than those of control.
Under anoxia the cultured hippocampal neurons were seriously damaged, which may be protected by Gin.
研究人参皂苷(Gin)对脑细胞缺氧损伤的保护作用。
新生大鼠海马细胞接种后第12天,将培养物置于缺氧环境(95% N₂ + 5% CO₂)中4 - 24小时。观察细胞形态、存活率以及细胞中乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)和钾离子(K⁺)的外流量。
缺氧24小时后,细胞存活率从缺氧前的92% ± 4%降至1.0% ± 2.0%;LDH和K⁺的外流量分别从缺氧前的2.3 ± 0.6 U L⁻¹和5.56 ± 0.16 mmol L⁻¹增至36 ± 5 U L⁻¹和8.5 ± 0.7 mmol L⁻¹。在缺氧24小时的Gin组中,细胞存活率为4% ± 4%;LDH和K⁺的外流量分别为30 ± 3 U L⁻¹和7.9 ± 0.8 mmol L⁻¹。Gin组的所有这些变化均低于对照组。
缺氧条件下培养的海马神经元受到严重损伤,Gin可能对其具有保护作用。
