Rheum Tanguticum Polysaccharide Prevention of Irradiation-induced Immune Damage
Radiation therapy is one of the most important strategies in cancer treatment with irreplaceable advantages. However, it should not be overlooked that the immune damage caused by radiation therapy, which means that radiation therapy could lead to the immune function lessening and immune organ damage (Hu et al., 1988; Uh et al., 1994). The immune system damage could further weaken the immune fun...
متن کاملProtective Role of Rheum Tanguticum Polysaccharide 1 in Radiation- induced Intestinal Mucosal Injury
The protective effects of Rheum tanguticum polysaccharide 1 (RTP1), which is extracted from the Chinese traditional medicine Rheum tanguticum, on radiation-induced intestinal mucosal injury was investigated. Rat intestinal crypt epithelial cells (IEC-6 cells) and Sprague-Dawley rats were each divided into control, irradiated and RTP1-pretreated irradiated groups. After irradiation, cell surviva...
متن کاملGenetic variation in cultivated Rheum tanguticum populations
To examine whether cultivation reduced genetic variation in the important Chinese medicinal plant Rheum tanguticum, the levels and distribution of genetic variation were investigated using ISSR markers. Fifty-eight R. tanguticum individuals from five cultivated populations were studied. Thirteen primers were used and a total of 320 DNA bands were scored. High levels of genetic diversity were de...
متن کاملPolysaccharide isolated from Parmelia tinctorum ameliorates ionizing irradiation-induced damage in mice
In this study, WPT-A, a type of water-soluble homogeneous lichen polysaccharide, was isolated and purified from Parmelia tinctorum. We investigated whether WPT-A has radioprotective effects when administered before total-body irradiation (TBI). Mice were treated with WPT-A via intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) once per day for three consecutive days prior to 7, 7.5, 8.5, 10 or 10.5-Gy TBI. Our r...
متن کاملThe Effects of Rheum Tanguticum Polysaccharide on the Polarization of Th1 and Th2 Cells in TNBS-Induced Colitis in Murine
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic inflammatory intestinal disorders that are characterized by thickened colon walls, colon ulcerations, including two forms of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). UC and CD share some similar clinico-pathological characteristics but their causes are opposite. The imbalance in cytokinesis produced by Th1 and Th2 cells, the subunit of CD4...
