随着核技术的发展,电离辐射被广泛应用于医疗、工业和农业等领域,其在造福人类的同时也极大地增加了人们受到辐射损伤的风险[1]。短时间内大剂量的电离辐射会引发机体的急性辐射综合征,造成造血系统、胃肠道系统、生殖系统和皮肤等的辐射损伤[1-4]。其中,机体造血系统对电离辐射尤为敏感,而造血系统的恢复在辐射损伤的治疗中至关重要[1, 5]。几十年来,辐射防护药物的开发一直是国内外科研工作者研究的热点。然而,高效、低毒和稳定性好的造血系统辐射防护药物的开发仍然是一个未解决的问题,开展这方面的研究迫在眉睫。
中药以其靶点多、促进造血、增强免疫功能和抗氧化等多种优势在辐射损伤的治疗中发挥着重要的作用。黄杞叶为胡桃科黄杞属植物黄杞(Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall.)的干燥叶,是广西壮族人常用的中药,具有抗炎、抗肿瘤和增强免疫功能等多种药理作用[6-7]。本研究所采用的黄杞叶提取物的主要成分是黄酮类化合物,其占黄杞叶提取物总量的64%,落新妇苷、黄杞苷和花旗松素3种二氢黄酮是其中的主要活性成分,分别占黄酮类化合物总量的57.9%、3.3%、2.8%[7]。落新妇苷广泛存在于多种药用和食用植物中,具有抗氧化、抗炎和抗肿瘤等多种药理作用[8-9],对溶骨性骨病[10]、糖尿病肾病[11]、脓毒症诱导的急性肺损伤[12]、慢性炎症性皮肤病[13]、乳腺癌[14]等具有防护作用。黄杞苷主要存在于蔬菜和水果中,具有抗炎、抗氧化和抗肿瘤等活性,对肺纤维化[15]、盆腔炎[16]和骨关节炎[17]等具有防护作用。花旗松素是一种天然化合物,存在于多种植物中,通常作为食品工业中的天然抗氧化添加剂,具有抗氧化、抗炎、抗菌和抗肿瘤等多种生物活性,对银屑病[18]和急性酒精性肝损伤[19]等具有防护作用,还可以促进肝癌细胞的凋亡[20]。辐射诱导的活性氧水平升高是导致造血系统损伤的主要原因[21],黄杞叶提取物的主要活性成分具有极强的抗氧化能力,但是目前尚未发现黄杞叶提取物在辐射损伤研究中的相关报道。因此,我们探讨黄杞叶提取物对小鼠造血系统辐射损伤的防护作用,并对其作用机制进行初步的研究。

Methods (1) In vitro experiment. 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2, 2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) free radical scavenging tests were used to detect the antioxidant activity of Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall. leaf extract in vitro. (2) In vivo experiment. ①Survival experiment. Forty specific pathogen-free male C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups following a randomized block design: irradiation group, irradiation+low dose, irradiation+middle dose, and irradiation+high dose groups of Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall. leaf extract (20, 40, and 80 mg/kg, respectively). All four groups were irradiated with whole-body 7.2 Gy (lethal dose) 137Cs γ-rays at one time. The survival condition of mice 30 days after irradiation was recorded. ② Radiation protection experiment of the hematopoietic system. Sixty specific pathogen-free male C57BL/6 mice were divided into six groups following a randomized block design: control group, irradiation group, Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall. leaf extract high dose group (80 mg/kg), irradiation+low dose, irradiation+middle dose, and irradiation+high dose groups of Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall. leaf extract (20, 40, and 80 mg/kg, respectively). The control group and the Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall. leaf extract high dose group (80 mg/kg) were not irradiated, while the four other groups were irradiated with whole-body 4 Gy 137Cs γ-rays at one time. On the 7th day after irradiation, the mice were killed, the peripheral blood was obtained for blood routine detection, and unilateral femoral bone marrow cells were obtained for bone marrow nucleated cells count. The bone marrow cells of the other femur were used for bone marrow DNA content detection, the thymus and spleen were taken to calculate organ index, and liver was sampled to detect the content of reduced glutathione (GSH). In the in vitro experiment, the mice in each group underwent continuous intragastric administration 7 days before and 6 days after irradiation, in which the control group and irradiation group were given 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose sodium, and the other groups were given corresponding doses of Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall. leaf extract. Student's t test was applied to compare differences between two groups, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to determine the survival rate. Results (1) In the in vitro experiment, compared with Trolox, the scavenging rate of DPPH free radical by the Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall. leaf extract were higher (89.83% vs. 69.37%, 90.94% vs. 68.53%) when the concentration was 100 μg/ml and 200 μg/ml; and the scavenging rate of ABTS free radical was also higher (94.81% vs. 71.35%, 94.46% vs. 71.93%), and the differences were statistically significant (t=19.58–33.26, all P<0.001). (2) In the in vivo experiment, compared with the irradiation group, the 30-day survival rates of mice in the low, middle, and high dose groups of irradiation+Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall. leaf extract significantly increased after receiving lethal dose irradiation, and the differences were statistically significant (Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, all P<0.05); while the survival days also significantly improved ((19.40±7.70) d vs. (12.50±3.59) d, (20.20±8.48) d vs. (12.50±3.59) d, (20.90±7.96) d vs. (12.50±3.59) d), and the differences were statistically significant (t=2.57, 2.79, 3.04; all P<0.05). The spleen and thymus organ index increased significantly in the irradiation+high dose group of Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall. leaf extract ((2.13±0.43) mg/g vs. (1.67±0.20) mg/g, (1.87±0.39) mg/g vs. (1.39±0.31) mg/g), and the differences were statistically significant (t=3.00, 3.03; both P<0.05). The number of red blood cells increased most significantly in the irradiation+middle dose group of Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall. leaf ((10.12±1.71)×1012/L vs. (8.26±0.87)×1012/L), and the difference was statistically significant (t=2.89, P<0.05). The number of white blood cells and red blood cells and the hemoglobin content increased significantly in the irradiation+high dose group of Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall. leaf extract ((1.76±0.45)×109/L vs. (1.17±0.23)×109/L, (9.59±0.85)×1012/L vs. (8.26±0.87)×1012/L, (144.40±14.61) g/L vs. (126.20±13.16) g/L), and the differences were statistically significant (t=3.62, 3.23, 2.93; all P<0.05). In addition, the number of bone marrow nucleated cells, the DNA content in the bone marrow, and GSH content in the liver were significantly increased in the irradiation+high dose group of Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall. leaf extract, and the differences were statistically significant (t=3.28, 3.93, 3.07; all P<0.05). Conclusion The Engelhardia roxburghiana Wall. leaf extract has a certain protective effect on radiation injury of the hematopoietic system in mice. -
