This invention relates to inflammatory responses in isolated peripheral human neutrophils that studied in the presence or absence of specially processed
Radix Stephaniae tetrandrae
(SPRST). We conclude that SPRST exerts anti-inflammatory effects by interfering with reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and calcium (Ca
2+
) influx through G-protein modulation to prevent Mac-1 up-regulation and firm adhesion by neutrophils during activation.Thns, SPRST may be clinical beneficial in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, or other diseases related to over activation of neutrophil.
本发明涉及在孤立的外周人类中性粒细胞中研究炎症反应,其在有或无经过特殊处理的四棱防风(
SPRST)的情况下进行。我们得出结论,
SPRST通过干扰反应性氧化物(ROS)的产生和
钙(Ca2+)通量通过G蛋白调节来发挥抗炎作用,以防止激活期间中性粒细胞的Mac-1上调和牢固粘附。因此,
SPRST在预防心血管疾病或其他与中性粒细胞过度激活有关的疾病方面可能具有临床益处。
