OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and mechanism of total saponins of panax ginseng (TSPG) on the damages of endothelium cells induced by Angiotensin II (AngII). METHODS Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham, AngII, and AngII+TSPG. The osmotic pumps with AngII were embedded in the backs of the animals in AngII and AngII+TSPG group, and TSPG was delivered through the gastric tube in AngII+TSPG group. The plasma tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and nitric oxide (NO) were measured by ELISA, and Human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were observed with scanning electron microscope (SEM). In addition, HAECs were treated with AngII and TSPG or Ang-(1-7), and the ECs were incubated with AngII for 30min, before with AT1 receptor antagonist (AT1RA) and TSPG. Tested were NAD(P)H oxidase subunit P22phox mRNA, intracellular reactive oxidative species (ROS), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM) expression. RESULTS In the in vivo study, the plasma TNF-α increased significantly in AngII group when compared with the sham group, and decreased significantly in AngII+TSPG group. However, NO measurement produced opposite results. The surface of the thoracic aorta ECs desquamated in the AngII group, and most of them were restored in the AngII+TSPG group. In the in vitro study, TSPG reduced significantly the expressions of the NAD(P)H oxidize subunit P22phox, NF-κB and intracellular ROS production induced by AngII, and the inhibitory effects of TSPG were partially blocked by AT1 receptor antagonist. CONCLUSIONS TSPG was found to be capable of preventing the damages of ECs induced by Ang II via AT1 receptor pathway.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D000804 Angiotensin II An octapeptide that is a potent but labile vasoconstrictor. It is produced from angiotensin I after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME. The amino acid in position 5 varies in different species. To block VASOCONSTRICTION and HYPERTENSION effect of angiotensin II, patients are often treated with ACE INHIBITORS or with ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR BLOCKERS.

D012503 Saponins A type of glycoside widely distributed in plants. Each consists of a sapogenin as the aglycone moiety, and a sugar. The sapogenin may be a steroid or a triterpene and the sugar may be glucose, galactose, a pentose, or a methylpentose. Saponin
D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
