Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and particularly relates to a medicine for delaying blood vessel aging. BACKGROUND

[0002] Aging is an inevitable progressive decline in the function of physiological organs, which increases the probability of disease and death. Among them, blood vessel aging is an important pathological and physiological basis for the aging of human organs and tissues, and is also the main pathogenesis of many old-age diseases such as atherosclerosis, heart failure and hypertension. The cause of blood vessel aging is the change of clinical and subclinical results and functions of blood vessel wall cells and extracellular matrix at the tissue and cell level.

[0003] Angiotensin II (Ang II) is an inflammation trigger that activates inflammatory factors such as NF-KB and TGF-β1 in the blood vessel wall, thereby promoting the inflammatory response of the blood vessel, and can stimulate cells to produce free radicals, leading to the aging of vascular endothelial cells, and further leading to the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis. Therefore, reducing the aging of endothelial cells caused by angiotensin II will help to reduce blood vessel aging. SUMMARY

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0019] Figure 1 Effect of gentiopicroside on the up-regulation of Cav-1 protein (caveolin) caused by angiotensin II. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to clearly illustrate the technical features of the present application, the present application will be described below through specific embodiments.

[0021] Gentiopicroside is a natural iridoid glycoside, which is one of the main pharmacodynamic components of Gentiana plants, and widely exists in the dried roots and rhizomes of plants such as Gentiana scabra Bunge, and its structure is as follows:

[0022]

[0023] The present application mainly discusses whether gentiopicroside can play a role in the aging of vascular endothelial cells.

[0024] Example 1: Effect of gentiopicroside on the activity of human vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) 3 The HUVEC cells in the logarithmic growth phase were inoculated in a 96-well plate at 3×10

[0025] The control group and the gentian bitter-sweet group were set up (10, 20, 40 μmol / L). The gentian bitter-sweet group was given the drug according to the drug concentration, while the control group was given the culture medium without the drug. Each group had 3 replicate wells.

[0026] After culturing for 24 hours, add 10 μL of CCK-8 working solution to each well. After incubation, use a microplate reader to detect the absorbance at 450 nm.

[0027] Example 2: Effects of Gentian Bitter-Sweet on Angiotensin II-Induced Cellular Senescence

[0028] HUVEC cells were seeded in 6-well plates and treated according to the following experimental groups;

[0029] Experimental Groups:

[0030] Control group: Cultured in culture medium containing 10% serum, without the addition of any drugs;

[0031] Angiotensin II group: Add 10 -6 Angiotensin II at mol / L was used, and the solution was replaced after 24 hours, for a total of 48 hours.

[0032] Gentianoside group: After adding 20 μmol / L for 1 h, add 10 -6 Angiotensin II at mol / L was used, and the solution was replaced after 24 hours, for a total of 48 hours.

[0033] After the treatment, the cell culture medium was removed, the cells were washed with PBS, and then fixed with glutaraldehyde for 10 min.

[0034] After washing three times with PBS, the PBS was removed, and 1 ml of X-gal staining solution was added to each well. After incubation at 37°C for 12 h, five fields of view were randomly selected from each group under a fluorescence microscope, and the percentage of positive cells was calculated.

[0035] Example 3: Effects of gentian bitterness and licorice on angiotensin II-induced upregulation of Cav-1 protein (foveolar protein).

[0036] Angiotensin II leads to increased expression of Cav-1 protein, and high expression of Cav-1 protein activates cellular senescence signals, leading to cellular senescence. Therefore, this invention studies the effect of gentian bitter licorice on the upregulation of Cav-1 protein caused by angiotensin II.

[0037] Control group: Cultured in culture medium containing 10% serum, without the addition of any drugs;

[0038] Angiotensin II group: 10⁻⁶ mol / L angiotensin II was added, and the solution was replaced after 24 hours of treatment, for a total of 48 hours.

[0039] Gentiopicroside group: 20 μmol / L gentiopicroside was added for 1 h, then 10-6mol / L angiotensin II was added, and the medium was replaced after 24 h, and the treatment was performed for 48 h in total;

[0040] After the treatment, the cell culture medium was removed, the cells were washed with PBS, and protein lysate was added to extract the protein sample;

[0041] The concentration of the protein sample in each group was detected by referring to the BCA protein detection kit;

[0042] After adding the loading buffer, boiling water was heated for denaturation for 5 min, and then placed at -20°C for standby;

[0043] A 12% protein electrophoresis gel was prepared, and 20 μg of sample was loaded per well. After the protein sample was electrophoresed on the 12% gel, it was transferred to the PVDF membrane by electrophoresis;

[0044] The PVDF membrane was blocked with TBST containing 5% skim milk at room temperature for 1 h with slow shaking;

[0045] Cav-1 primary antibody and GAPDH primary antibody were used for incubation at 4°C overnight;

[0046] After TBST washing, the secondary antibody was incubated at room temperature for 1 h. After washing the membrane, chemiluminescence solution was used for color development.

[0047] Example 4: Effect of gentiopicroside and lentinan on cell senescence caused by angiotensin II

[0048] Control group: cultured with culture medium containing 10% serum without adding drugs;

[0049] Angiotensin II group: 10-6mol / L angiotensin II was added, and the medium was replaced after 24 h, and the treatment was performed for 48 h in total;

[0050] Gentiopicroside group: 20 μmol / L gentiopicroside was added for 1 h, then 10-6mol / L angiotensin II was added, and the medium was replaced after 24 h, and the treatment was performed for 48 h in total; -6 mol / L angiotensin II, and the medium was replaced after 24 h, and the treatment was performed for 48 h in total;

[0051] Lentinan group: 100 mg / L lentinan was added for 1 h, then 10-6mol / L angiotensin II was added, and the medium was replaced after 24 h, and the treatment was performed for 48 h in total; -6 mol / L angiotensin II, and the medium was replaced after 24 h, and the treatment was performed for 48 h in total;

[0052] Gentiopicroside and lentinan group: 20 μmol / L gentiopicroside + 100 mg / L lentinan was added for 1 h, then 10-6mol / L angiotensin II was added, and the medium was replaced after 24 h, and the treatment was performed for 48 h in total;

[0053] After the treatment, the cell culture solution was removed, the cells were washed with PBS, and the cells were fixed with glutaraldehyde for 10 min;

[0054] After washing with PBS for 3 times, the PBS was removed, 1 ml of X-gal staining solution was added to each well, and after incubation at 37°C for 12 h, 5 fields of view were randomly selected under a fluorescence microscope in each group, and the percentage of positive cells was calculated.

[0055] The experimental results of Example 1 are shown in Table 1:

[0056] Table 1 Influence of gentiopicroside on the activity of HUVEC cells

[0057] Note: * represents P<0.05

[0058] As can be seen from Table 1, when the concentration of gentiopicroside is 10 and 20 μmol / L, there is no obvious influence on the activity of HUVEC cells, and when the concentration of gentiopicroside is 40 μmol / L, it produces a certain degree of inhibition on the activity of HUVEC cells, therefore, the concentration of gentiopicroside is selected as 20 μmol / L to continue the subsequent experiments.

[0059] The experimental results of Example 2 are shown in Table 2:

[0060] Table 2 Influence of gentiopicroside on cell aging caused by angiotensin II

[0061] Note: *** represents P<0.001, represents P<0.001

[0062] As can be seen from Table 2, there is basically no cell aging in the control group, the proportion of positive cells in the angiotensin II group is significantly increased, and compared with the angiotensin II group, the proportion of positive cells in the gentiopicroside group is decreased to a certain extent. It shows that gentiopicroside can reduce the HUVEC cell aging caused by angiotensin II to a certain extent.

[0063] The results of Example 3 are shown in Figure 1 .

[0064] As can be seen from Figure 1 , the protein expression of Cav-1 in the angiotensin II group is increased, and compared with the angiotensin II group, the protein expression of Cav-1 in the gentiopicroside group is decreased to a certain extent, but is still higher than that in the control group, which is consistent with the results of Example 2, indicating that gentiopicroside can reduce the increase of Cav-1 protein expression caused by angiotensin II to a certain extent.

[0065] Results of Example 4 are shown in Table 3:

[0066] Note: *** means P<0.001, ** means P<0.01, *** means P<0.001

[0067] As can be seen from Table 3, compared with the combination of Gastrodin and Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides alone, the combination of the two drugs can effectively produce a synergistic effect, thereby greatly reducing the vascular endothelial cell aging caused by angiotensin II.
