Alpha-momorcharin inhibits HIV-1 replication in acutely but not chronically infected T-lymphocytes

AIM: To identify the anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) activities of alpha-momorcharin ( alpha-MMC) from Momordica charantia in acutely and chronically infected lymphocytes. METHODS: The anti-HIV activities of alpha-MMC were examined by 1) the inhibition of syncytia formation induced by HIV-1 III B; 2) reduction of p24 core antigen expression level and decrease in numbers of HIV antigen positive cells in acutely and chronically infected cultures. The cytotoxic effects of alpha-MMC was tested by trypan blue dye exclusion or colorimetric MTT assay. RESULTS: alpha-MMC was found to obviously inhibit HIV-1 III B-inducing C8166 syncytia formation and markedly reduced both expression of p24 core antigen and the numbers of HIV antigen positive cells in acutely but not chronically HTV-1-infected culture. The median effective concentration (EC50) in these assays were 0.016, 0.07, and 0.32 mg.L-1, respectively. CONCLUSION: alpha-MMC is a unique component of momorcharin with anti-HIV activity, and markedly inhibited HIV-1 replication in acutely but not chronically HIV-1-infected T-lymphocytes.

Prolonged cardiac xenograft survival in guinea pig-to-rat model by a highly active cobra venom factor

A highly active cobra venom factor (CVF) was isolated from the venom of Naja kaouthia by sequential column chromatography. It displays strong anticomplementary activity, and has 1515 U of anti complementary activity per mg protein. A single dose of 0.1 mg/kg CVF given i.v. to rats completely abrogated complement activity for nearly 5 days. Given 0.02 mg/kg of CVF. the complement activity of rats was reduced by more than 96.5% in 6 It. In guinea pig-to-rat heart transplant model, rats treated with a single dose of 0.05 mg/kg CVF had significantly prolonged xenograft survival (56.12 +/- 6.27 h in CVF-treated rats vs. 0.19 +/- 0.07 h in control rats, P < 0.001).

Androgen receptor targets NFKB and TSPI to suppress prostate tumor growth in vivo

The androgen role in the maintenance of prostate epithelium is subject to conflicting opinions. While androgen ablation drives the regression of normal and cancerous prostate, testosterone may cause both proliferation and apoptosis. Several investigators note decreased proliferation and stronger response to chemotherapy of the prostate cancer cells stably expressing androgen receptor (AR), however no mechanistic explanation was offered. In this paper we demonstrate in vivo anti-tumor effect of the AR on prostate cancer growth and identify its molecular mediators. We analyzed the effect of AR on the tumorigenicity of prostate cancer cells. Unexpectedly, the AR-expressing cells formed tumors in male mice at a much lower rate than the AR-negative controls. Moreover, the AR-expressing tumors showed decreased vascularity and massive apoptosis. AR expression lowered the angiogenic potential of cancer cells, by increasing secretion of an anti-angiogenic protein, thrombospondin-1. AR activation caused a decrease in RelA, a subunit of the pro-survival transcription factor NF kappa B, reduced its nuclear localization and transcriptional activity. This, in turn, diminished the expression of its anti-apoptotic targets, Bcl-2 and IL-6. Increased apoptosis within AR-expressing tumors was likely due to the NF kappa B suppression, since it was restricted to the cells lacking nuclear (active) NF kappa B. Thus we for the first time identified combined decrease of NF kappa B and increased TSP1 as molecular events underlying the AR anti-tumor activity in vivo. Our data indicate that intermittent androgen ablation is preferable to continuous withdrawal, a standard treatment for early-stage prostate cancer. (C) 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

This dissertation studied about the anti-tumor activity of an actinomycete fermentation product. First, we cultured the actinomycete. Second, we fermented it in large quantities, and then centrifuged the fermentation fluid; the next step is that we extract sedimentation and supernatant in different polar organic solvents, in turn to obtained six samples, which were detected about anti-tumor activity. Last, we purified active sample and tracked activity of it. We carried out the following research work: 1. Activation, culture and screening of the actinomyces was carried on. We used the screening strain to carry on the fermentation when the conditions are 280C，200r.min-1,the fermentation time is 72h. Fermentation fluid volume is 15L.And we obtained sedimentation and supernatant after fermentation fluid was centrifuged. 2. We used Petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, n-butanol separately to extract sedimentation and supernatant, and obtained six samples that were numbered 1-6. From the preliminary cell toxicity and the anti-tumor（HepG2） bioactivity experiment, we found that No.5 sample has the highest activity in the samples; the GI50 was 0.76µg/ml which has not been purified. 3. We Carried on TLC experiment on the No.5 sample, found the solvent composition that can separate each component of the No.5 sample. At last, we found that when the proportions are tri-chloromethane: methyl alcohol = 8:1, the Separation result was the best, and then we used the Solvent composition which proportion are tri-chloromethane: methyl alcohol = 8:1 as eluant to Purify No.5 sample by silica gel column. 4.

链霉菌S227抗耐药菌活性成分的研究

本论文以从四川峨嵋山森林土壤中分离筛选获得的一株产抗耐药性活性化合物的链霉菌S227为材料，对发酵液中活性物质的分离纯化及抗耐药性活性进行了研究。 建立了抗耐药性活性的定性、定量检测方法。建立的管蝶法活性定量检测的标准回归方程为：D=4.8229Ln(C)+3.6326 R=0.9972 ；纸片法活性定量检测的标准回归方程为：D=5.5Ln(C)-12.794 R=0.999。 根据建立的样品活性的检测方法，测定了发酵液的初始活性。实验证明活性物质的温度、pH稳定性好。 通过活性的定性、定量追踪方法，分别利用等体积的石油醚、乙酸乙酯、正丁醇在不同的pH梯度下萃取，确定了pH3条件下正丁醇能最大程度的萃取活性物质，说明活性物质极性很大。对正丁醇萃取相经过两次硅胶柱层析及薄层层析分离得到具有抗耐药菌活性的纯化样品S227-4。 经过核磁共振氢谱、碳谱数据分析初步确定S227-4为四聚糖，通过糖的水解实验初步确定S227-4由葡萄糖和半乳糖组成。 纸片法活性检测表明S227-4具有抗耐药菌活性。采用MIC测定法对该样品抗耐药活性进行研究。在证明该样品本身不具有抗菌活性的基础上，以临床分离的耐药性金黄色葡萄球菌为指示菌，考察了该样品与抗生素联合使用时对耐药菌抗生素MIC（最小抑菌浓度）值的影响，结果表明在不影响菌体生长的浓度条件下，该样品能明显降低多株耐药菌对多种抗生素的MIC值，不同程度地恢复所测试耐药菌对相应抗生素的敏感性。如S227-4与青霉素钠联用可以使S. aureus 12352的MIC降低8倍，而与红霉素联用可以使S. aureus 12334的MIC降低128倍。 The purification process and the activity of the anti bacterial drug resistance compounds produced by Streptomyces S227 isolated from the forest soil sample of the Mountain E’MEI in Sichuan Province were studied in this thesis. Quantitative and qualitative activity assay methods of the active compounds were established. The regression equation of the tube method was D=4.8229Ln(C)+3.6326, R=0.9972. The regression equation of the paper method was D=5.5Ln(C)-12.794, R=0.999. According to the established activity assay method, the incipient activity of the broth was evaluated. And it was proved that the stability of the active compounds was good. By quantitative and qualitative activity tracing method, petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and butanol were used to extract the active compounds at different pH. The result showed that butanol was the most effective agent for active component recovery at pH3. From the butanol extraction a purified sample, S227-4, was isolated by silica gel column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography . S227-4 was proved to be a tetra- saccharide by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. And its monosaccharides include glucose and galactose by hydrolysate analysis. The anti-drug resistant activity of S227-4 was tested in vitro by MICs assay using different drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated clinically. The sample itself showed no anti-microbial activity in growth inhibitory experiment, but when it was used together with different antibiotics, it could remarkably decrease the MICs of different clinically isolated drug-resistant bacterial strains to these antibiotics. For example, when S227-4 was used with penicillin, the MIC of S. aureus 12352 decreased 8 times compared with that when penicillin was used alone. Meanwhile when it was used with erythromycin the MIC of S. aureus 12334 deceased 128 times compared with erythromycin alone.

齐墩果酸的微生物转化

齐墩果酸（OA）是一个分布广泛、含量丰富的天然三萜化合物，常以皂苷元的形式广泛存在于植物中,具有多种重要生物活性。但是OA许多活性较弱，且生物利用度低，限制了其在临床上的应用。一是OA水溶性差;二是抗癌活性仍与临床应用的抗癌药物相差比较大。 真菌在微生物转化中具有种类多、培养条件比较简单等特点，为了寻找到具有转化OA能力的菌株，采取一步发酵的方法，在18株实验室保藏真菌菌株中筛选到5株目的菌株,TLC分析显示有转化效果。 随后采用二步发酵的方法作为复筛，验证5株菌株转化能力，波谱分析结果表明5株菌株对OA确实有转化作用。 选择5株菌种中代号1F-2 2菌株作为放大实验菌株，分离转化产物，得到OA衍生物108（相对分子量414m/z）和1010（相对分子量340 m/z），分离出的产物用于活性检测。寻找到产物108的RP-HPLC分离条件，质谱得出二者相对分子质量。 为验证OA转化产物抗肿瘤活性，首次研究了OA对卵巢癌细胞株IGROV1和人乳腺癌细胞株MDA-MB-231作用，通过细胞增殖抑制实验、用MTT法检测细胞活性，结果表明齐墩果酸可降低卵巢癌细胞株IGROV1和乳腺癌细胞MDA-MB-231细胞增殖能力并呈剂量依赖性，对肿瘤细胞株的半数有效抑制浓度化IC50 分别为36.58μg/mL和38.8μg/mL (P<0．01)。OA能抑制肿瘤细胞活性，并且OA对卵巢癌细胞株IGROV1抑制活性高于乳腺癌细胞MDA-MB-231。 在此基础上，转化产物108和1010对卵巢癌细胞株IGROV1和人乳腺癌细胞株MDA-MB-231的抑制作用也进行研究，MTT实验结果表明，转化产物对两株癌细胞也有抑制活性（P<0．01）。 总之，本文工作为进一步开展齐墩果酸类化合物结构改造和抗肿瘤活性的研究奠定了基础。 Oleanolic acid (OA) is a triterpenoid widely distributed in the nature which possesses various important bioactivities. OA also serves as aglycon of many natural saponins. However, the relatively weak activities and poor bioavailability hinder its clinical use. Firstly, poor water-solubility results in worse bioavailability. Secondly, compared with clinical antitumor drug, the antitumor effect of OA has a great difference, it is worse. Many fungi have ability to transform nature products into a variety of derivatives, and transformation conditions of fungi are simple. Attempt to obtain fungi strains able to biotransform OA, we carried out the following experiments: To investigate the biotransformation 0f OA by strains supplied firstly, we used one-step fermentation method to screen the aimed strains from 18 fungus strains stored in our laboratory. On the basis of the initial screening experiments, we found 5 aimed strains. The TLC results showed that the 5 fungi strains could transform OA into other components derivatives. Then we used two-step fermentation method as secondly screening. We repeated the five strains to do the experiments, analytical data of the results proved the transformation indeed. In the followed experiments work, we chose 1F-2 2 strain as large-scale transformation fungus from the aimed fungi. We got two biotransformation products of OA by 1F-2 2, and named those derivatives 108 and 1010. We found RP-HPLC separation conditions of product 108. The two products were characterized by ESI-MS. To verify the anti-tumor activity of biotransformation products of OA, we studied the inhibition effect of oleanolic acid on the ovarian carcinomas IGROV1 and breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 firstly. With an assay based on a tetrazolium dye (MTT), the effects of various concentrations of oleanolic acid on ovarian carcinomas IGROV1 and breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 were studied. MTT method was used to measure the tumor cells viability. Compared with the control group, oleanolic acid can significantly inhibit the viability of the ovarian carcinoma cells IGROV1 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line (P<0．01), IC50 values were 36.58μg/mL or 38.8μg/mL. Oleanolic acid can inhibit the malignant tumor cells viability, and inhibitory activity of OA to ovarian carcinomas IGROV1 was higher than to breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. On this basis, we studied the anti-tumor activity of the two derivatives of OA [called 108 (414 m/z) and 1010(340 m/z)]. It came to the conclusion that the two derivatives also showed potent inhibitory effect on the growth of these tumor cells（P<0．01）. Therefore, the results of studies will benefit the further investigating on the relationships of structures and antitumor activities of OA.

Inhibition of mouse liver lipid peroxidation by high molecular weight phlorotannins from Sargassum kjellmanianum

The inhibitory effects of high molecular weight phlorotannins (HMP) from Sargassum kjellmanianum on mouse liver lipid peroxidation were investigated by spectrophotometric methods. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver samples was measured by TBA (thiobarbituric acid) assay. It showed that HMP significantly inhibited the generation of MDA in vivo and in situations induced by CCl4 and Fe2+-Vc ( ascorbic acid), and significantly decreased membrane swelling of mouse liver mitochondria, compared with controls ( p < 0.01).

海带根是一种治疗糖尿病的民间中药，在沿海地区有很长的民间用药历史。食用海带根能够有效降低糖尿病患者的血糖，起到治疗作用。本文目的在于发现海带根中抗糖尿病的天然活性物质并分析它们在糖尿病治疗中的靶点；进一步开发一种低价且无毒副作用的化学类新药或中药新药。 α-glucosidase和 PTP-1B是II型糖尿病的两个重要靶点，海带根提取物能同时作用于这两个靶点。通过抑制这两种酶，降低血糖水平，85%乙醇粗提物对两种酶的IC50分别为1589ug/ml、IC50 1271ug/ml。乙酸乙酯相和石油醚相分别抑制α-glucosidase和 PTP-1B，IC50分别为380ug/ml和220ug/ml。因此以α-glucosidase和 PTP-1B的抑制活性为导向，用天然产物化学的方法对活性成分进行追踪分离，寻找单体活性物质进而鉴定其结构。由于乙酸乙酯相具有α-glucosidase抑制活性，用硅胶柱层析（石油醚：丙酮5：1、1：1），（二氯甲烷：甲醇60：1、20：1、5：1），凝胶柱层析Sephadex LH20（二氯甲烷：甲醇1：1），HPLC （80% 甲醇-水），对α-glucosidase抑制剂进行分离，得到组分IC50 为3.6ug/ml。用质谱仪和核磁共振确定结构。 生物活性测定结果表明α-glucosidase和 PTP-1B是两种不同的物质，分别位于乙酸乙酯相和石油醚相。光照实验和高温实验表明抑制α-glucosidase的活性成分对光照和温度敏感。光照48h或者50℃ 12h而且对α-glucosidase的抑制活性显著降低，TLC检测并用FeCl3显色初步表明抑制α-glucosidase的活性成分可能是多数酚类物质。动物实验显示在1450ug/kg剂量下，乙酸乙酯相能够显著降低糖尿病小鼠血糖，与阴性对照组差异极显著（P<0.01）。表明，海带根提取物在体内和体外均呈现出抗糖尿病活性，是一种潜在的抗糖尿病药物。

壳寡糖及其新型衍生物的制备和抗肿瘤活性初步研究

壳聚糖具有多种生物活性且无毒、无污染，可生物降解，但分子量大，水溶性差，其应用受到很大限制。壳寡糖具有良好的水溶性，其制备方法和应用近年来成为研究的热点。本论文详细研究了酶法和化学法制备壳寡糖的工艺条件，并对酶降解和化学氧化降解的产物进行了比较，结果表明氧化降解的壳寡糖氨基含量有所下降，而酶法降解的产物氨基含量基本没有变化。研究发现在木瓜蛋白酶中加入Vc可以一定程度上降低降解产物的粘度。对几种酶联合降解效果进行了研究，结果表明三种酶的联合降解可得到分子量为1800左右的壳寡糖产物，同时可获得较高产率。 本论文还制备了三种新型壳寡糖衍生物，并研究了壳寡糖和三种衍生物的抗肿瘤活性。通过在壳寡糖上引入胍基乙酸，首次合成了壳寡糖胍基乙酰衍生物(N-2-胍基乙酰-壳寡糖)；引入烟酰氯、烟酰异硫氰酸酯合成了(N-2-烟酰-壳寡糖、N-2-烟酰异硫氰酸酯-壳寡糖)。 通过对BEL•7402肝癌细胞进行了抑制肿瘤活性研究表明：烟酰壳寡糖衍生物的抗肿瘤活性较其他两种衍生物和壳寡糖的活性要好(1mg/ml浓度下抑制率为21.54%)，在较低浓度下有一定的抑制活性（50ug/ml浓度下抑制率为3.57%）。随着浓度的升高，抑制活性也随之提高。烟酰异硫氰酸酯壳寡糖衍生物和胍基乙酰壳寡糖衍生物在低浓度条件下对肿瘤细胞基本没有抑制活性，在高浓度条件下有一定的抑制活性。

海洋放线菌来源的化合物卡拉霉素(kalamycin)的抗肿瘤作用和机制研究

海洋生态环境的特殊性决定了海洋中往往含有结构奇特、新颖的化学物质， 海洋药物具有药理特异性、高活性和多样性，已成为药物研发热点领域，海洋抗肿瘤药物也是其中之一。卡拉霉素（kalamycin）来源于海洋放线菌M097的聚酮类化合物，我们实验室用体外增殖抑制试验发现了卡拉霉素（kalamycin）的抗肿瘤作用。有报道其类似物lactoquinomycin和frenolicin B是肿瘤靶点AKT抑制剂，并由此推断吡喃萘醌骨架在AKT抑制过程中发挥主要作用，我们发现虽然卡拉霉素（kalamycin）含有吡喃萘醌骨架，但是并不抑制AKT及其下游信号系统；继而对卡拉霉素（kalamycin）的体外抗肿瘤作用及其机理进行了系统的分析。 采用磺酰罗丹明B（SRB）法检测卡拉霉素（kalamycin）对10株肿瘤细胞株的体外增殖抑制作用，结果表明，卡拉霉素（kalamycin）能明显抑制各种组织来源的肿瘤细胞生长，具有广泛的细胞增殖抑制作用，除对一株肺癌细胞A549抑制作用不明显外，对9株肿瘤细胞株的IC50平均值为2.5μM，并且对各个细胞株生长抑制曲线形态基本一致。采用流式细胞术证实，卡拉霉素（kalamycin）能剂量依赖地诱导结肠癌细胞HCT-116和肝癌细胞SMMC-7721发生G2/M期周期阻滞，可以诱导黑色素瘤A375细胞发生凋亡。 基于前人的报道，我们用Western blot方法检测卡拉霉素（kalamycin）对AKT信号系统的影响，用量从1μM增加到16μM，AKT、mTOR和磷酸化AKT、mTOR、GSK3β的总量都没有变化；因此我们判断卡拉霉素（kalamycin）不是通过AKT系统发挥作用，而是有另外的机制。细胞凋亡和周期阻滞的很多过程是和P53相关的，我们用卡拉霉素（kalamycin）对P53野生和缺失的HCT-116细胞的增殖抑制和凋亡诱导来分析该抑制作用是否和P53相关，结果显示卡拉霉素（kalamycin）对两种细胞的生长抑制和诱导凋亡作用无明显差异，其作用和P53途径是不相关的。 卡拉霉素（kalamycin）细胞增殖抑制作用的非选择性，表明该化合物是一个广谱的细胞增殖抑制剂。我们用体外酶反应实验分析了卡拉霉素（kalamycin）对拓扑酶的抑制作用，结果显示卡拉霉素（kalamycin）对Topo I没有抑制作用，在20μM时几乎完全抑制Topo II，呈现出显著的浓度依赖效应，抑制作用大约比VP16强十倍。用DNA伸展实验和Topo II 介导的负超螺旋 pBR322 切割实验，证实卡拉霉素（kalamycin）不是DNA嵌入剂和Topo II毒剂，而是一个催化抑制剂。在体外模拟Topo II的催化反应步骤，把整个过程分解，发现卡拉霉素（kalamycin）可以抑制Topo II介导的DNA的切割，但是对再连接没有作用；卡拉霉素（kalamycin）能抑制ATP水解的作用，但是在较高剂量时抑制作用要比阳性对照弱得多。因此，卡拉霉素（kalamycin）可能主要通过抑制Topo II介导的DNA的切割发挥作用。 肿瘤新血管生成是原发性肿瘤赖以发生、生长和转移的物质基础。我们用了多个新生血管生成模型对卡拉霉素（kalamycin）的抗新生血管生成作用进行了检测，发现卡拉霉素（kalamycin） 对内皮细胞管腔形有抑制作用，其作用效果呈现明显的剂量依赖性。卡拉霉素（kalamycin）在对内皮细胞HMEC-1在12小时内的IC50是4.39μM ，在没有显著增殖抑制作用的剂量下，对HMEC-1管腔形成依然具有抑制作用，提示卡拉霉素（kalamycin）的抗新生血管生成作用并非完全来源于其增殖抑制作用。通过体外酶反应、western blot和双荧光素酶报告基因系统分析卡拉霉素（kalamycin）抑制肿瘤新血管生成的信号途径，结果发现这种抑制作用不是依赖于酪氨酸激酶和HIF-lα途径的。 综上所述，卡拉霉素（kalamycin）不是一个AKT抑制剂，它通过专一性的抑制Topo II使肿瘤细胞发生周期阻滞和细胞凋亡，主要抑制Topo II介导的DNA的切割和ATP水解作用。同时卡拉霉素（kalamycin）可以抑制肿瘤血管管腔形成，抑制作用不依赖酪氨酸激酶和HIF-lα途径。

鲨鱼软骨抗血管生成多肽的分离纯化及其生物活性

以血管生成为靶点的抗肿瘤策略是抗肿瘤领域的研究热点，目前已经发现许多天然和化学合成的抗血管生成药物。鲨鱼软骨作为抗新生血管生成因子的重要来源的研究已有20多年的历史，很多研究显示鲨鱼软骨提取物有抗血管生成活性。但鲨鱼软骨活性多肽的完整分子结构一直未见报道；鲨鱼软骨活性多肽干扰血管生成通路的信号途径尚不明确。 本文应用盐酸胍抽提、丙酮分级沉淀、超滤、凝胶层析等分离技术，从青鲨（Prionace glauca）软骨中分离纯化并鉴定了一种新的具有抗新生血管生成活性的多肽。经SDS-PAGE和N-末端氨基酸序列分析显示，该多肽分子量为15500 Da，采用蛋白数据库分析表明该多肽是一种新发现的鲨鱼软骨多肽（Polypeptide from Prionace glauca，PG155）。 体外实验显示，PG155抑制内皮细胞生长因子（vascular endothelial growth factor，VEGF）介导的人脐静脉内皮细胞（human umbilical vein endothelial cell ，HUVEC）迁移和管腔形成，并呈剂量依赖关系。200 μg/ml PG155对牛主动脉内皮细胞（Bovine Aortic Endothelial Cells，BAECs）和HUVECs及以下癌细胞，包括人肝癌细胞（human hepatoma Bel-7402 cells，Bel-7402）、 口腔上皮癌细胞（human oral epidermoid carcinoma KB cells ，KB）、人结肠癌细胞（human colon cancer HCT-18 cells，HCT-18）和人乳腺癌细胞（human breast MCF7 cancer cells ，MCF7）的增殖均无抑制作用，说明PG155无细胞毒作用。20 μg/ml PG155显著抑制HUVEC的迁移和管腔形成；40-80 μg/ml PG155 对VEGF 介导的HUVEC的迁移和管腔形成几乎完全抑制。 体内实验显示，PG155显著抑制斑马鱼胚胎模型新生血管生成，并呈剂量依赖关系。形态学观察表明PG155显著抑制斑马鱼胚胎肠下静脉（subintestinal vessels， SIVs）的生长，随着浓度的升高SIVs的生长可受到完全抑制。碱性磷酸酶染色分析显示，在一定浓度范围内，PG155随着浓度的升高对斑马鱼胚胎整体血管生成抑制作用依次增强。160 μg/ml PG155会引起斑马鱼胚胎心脏功能障碍。 由海洋生物中发现新的肿瘤新生血管生成抑制剂国内外的报道较少，我们的工作表明鲨鱼软骨可作为血管生成抑制剂的重要来源，鲨鱼软骨活性多肽PG155由于具有极低的细胞毒作用，并能抑制VEGF介导的血管生成过程，有希望成为一类新型抗肿瘤药物。
