Anti-inflammatory Effect of Shikonin on Cultured Astrocytes Derived from Rat Brain
Introduction: Astrocytes have an important role in many neurodegenerative diseases. Active astrocytes release inflammatory factors such as NO and ILs. Shikonin, a naphthoquinone pigment of Lithospermum erythrorhizon roots has anti-inflammatory and antitumoral effects. The present study aims to investigate the anti-inflammatory and toxic effects of Shikonin on cultured astrocytes. Methods...
متن کاملMicronucleus Test of Mofezolac
---・-A micronucleus test using BDFi male mice was conducted in order to evaluate the in vive mutagenicity of mofezolac (N-22). N-22 was orally administered at doses of 75, 150, 300 arid 600 mglkg, with a sampling time of 24 hr. The frequency of polychromatic erythrocytes with micronuclei was O,07-O,08% in the groups treated with N-22 and did not differ markedly from that of the vehicle control ...
متن کاملCa2+ depletion facilitates taurine release in cultured rat astrocytes.
Removal of external Ca2+ facilitated endogenous taurine release in cultured rat astrocytes. The stimulated release was not affected by furosemide, sucrose, tetrodotoxin and 3,4-dichlorobenzamil, but partially inhibited by nifedipine. Omission of external Na+ increased basal taurine release, and the effects of Na+ removal and Ca2+ depletion on the release were additive. The Na(+)-free condition ...
متن کاملEndothelin-1 decreases glutamate uptake in primary cultured rat astrocytes.
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide that is also known to induce a wide spectrum of biological responses in nonvascular tissue. In this study, we found that ET-1 (100 nM) inhibited the glutamate uptake in cultured astrocytes expressing the glutamate/aspartate transporter (GLAST); astrocytes did not express the glutamate transporter-1 (GLT-1). The V(max) and the K(m) of the g...
متن کاملOuabain-induced cell proliferation in cultured rat astrocytes.
Ouabain markedly stimulated not only [3H]thymidine incorporation but also [3H]uridine incorporation into astrocytes. The effects were observed at 36-48 hr and 12-72 hr after addition of ouabain, respectively. The dose-response curves were both bell-shaped types with a peak at 10(-3) M for thymidine incorporation and 2 x 10(-3) M for uridine incorporation. Ouabain increased cell number as determ...
