In vitro anti-influenza A virus effects and mechanisms of non-toxic dried toad and Bufonis Venenum extracts
摘要
目的
2
探讨无毒干蟾及蟾酥提取物的体外抗甲型流感病毒(influenza A virus,IAV)的作用及机制。
To explore the in vitro anti-influenza A virus (IAV) effects and mechanisms of non-toxic dried toad and Bufonis Venenum extracts.
Methods
2
Dilutions of non-toxic dried toad water extract, non-toxic dried toad alcohol extract, Bufonis Venenum water extract, Bufonis Venenum alcohol extract, and oseltamivir phosphate were prepared. A blank group and a virus group were also set up. Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells infected with influenza virus A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) were used as carriers. The maximum non-toxic concentration (TC0) and median toxic concentration (TC50) of the drugs were determined using the CCK-8 method. In three different administration methods,
i.e.
, direct inactivation, prophylaxis, and therapeutic administration, cell su
rvival rate, anti-IAV effective rate (ER), half-effective concentration (EC50), and therapeutic index (TI) were assessed. The treatment methods corresponding to higher ER and TI were selected. Apoptosis rates were detected by TUNEL assay at 12, 24, and 48 hours after treatment, and the mRNA expression levels of genes related to the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway and apoptosis were detected by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR).
Results
2
The TC0 values of non-toxic dried toad water extract, non-toxic dried toad alcohol extract, Bufonis Venenum water extract, and Bufonis Venenum alcohol extract against MDCK cells were 39.06 mg/L, 195.31 mg/L, 1.22 mg/L, and 4.88 mg/L, respectively. The TC50 values were 4 191.40 mg/L, 2 573.90 mg/L, 19.12 mg/L, and 59.49 mg/L, respectively. Each drug demonstrated in vitro anti-IAV effects in all three administration methods, showing a concentration-dependent relationship. The highest ER and TI for anti-IAV effects were observed under the direct inactivation method. At 12, 24, and 48 hours after treatment, the apoptosis rate was lowest in the Bufonis Venenum water extract group, followed by the other three Chinese medicine extract groups. Compared to the virus group, non-toxic dried toad alcohol extract and Bufonis Venenum water extract significantly downregulated the mRNA expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease (Caspase)-12, and Caspase-3, and upregulated B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) mRNA expression after IAV infection.
Conclusion
2
Non-toxic dried toad water extract, non-toxic dried toad alcohol extract, Bufonis Venenum water extract, and Bufonis Venenum alcohol extract exhibit direct virucidal effects against IAV. The anti-viral mechanisms of non-toxic dried toad alcohol extract and Bufonis Venenum water extract may be related to their inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum stress and induction of cell apoptosis.
