Endophytic and rhizospheric bacterial communities isolated from the medicinal plants Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea angustifolia
In this work we analyzed the composition and structure of cultivable bacterial communities isolated from the stem/leaf and root compartments of two medicinal plants, Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench and Echinacea angustifolia (DC.) Hell, grown in the same soil, as well as the bacterial community from their rhizospheric soils. Molecular PCR-based techniques were applied to cultivable bacteria isol...
متن کاملCaffeoyl phenols and alkamides of cultivated Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea atrorubens var. paradoxa
Echinacea is an herbaceous perennial of Asteraceae family that grows throughout the eastern and central United States and southern Canada. Three species of Echinacea are valued as medicinal herb: E. purpurea (L.) Moench, E. pallida (Nutt.) Nutt., and E. angustifolia DC (Mistríková & Vaverková, 2007). All three species show pharmacological activity, which appears to result from the combined effe...
متن کاملThe Inhibitory Effect of Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea pallida on BT-549 and Natural Killer Cells
Background: Echinacea is a plant that has been widely used for its’ medicinal properties, which include antioxidant properties, immune-stimulant, and antiinflammatory properties. In this study, the effects of extracts of Echinacea pallida, Echinacea purpurea as well as the standard components of Echinacea were observed on a breast cancer cell line (BT-549). Also the effects of extracts of Echin...
متن کاملHuman proximal tubule epithelial cells modulate autologous dendritic cell function.
BACKGROUND We have previously demonstrated that human kidney proximal tubule epithelial cells (PTEC) are able to modulate autologous T and B lymphocyte responses. It is well established that dendritic cells (DC) are responsible for the initiation and direction of adaptive immune responses and that these cells occur in the renal interstitium in close apposition to PTEC under inflammatory disease...
متن کاملAntioxidant and immuno-enhancing effects of Echinacea purpurea.
We studied the protective effects of Echinacea purpurea against radiation by evaluating changes in the peripheral blood cell count and peripheral blood antioxidant activity. E. purpurea administration had a suppressive effect on radiation-induced leukopenia, especially on lymphocytes and monocytes, and resulted in a faster recovery of blood cell counts. Mouse peripheral blood antioxidant activi...
