Neurotrophic and neuroprotective actions of Achyranthes bidentata polypeptides on cultured dorsal root ganglia of rats and on crushed common peroneal nerve of rabbits.

Electronic address: dingfei@ntu.edu.cn.AbstractWe have isolated Achyranthes bidentata Blume polypeptides (ABPP) from the aqueous extract of A. bidentata Blume, a traditional Chinese medicine with multiple therapeutic applications. In this study, we aimed to investigate neurotrophic effects of ABPP on cultured dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) of rats and neuroprotective effects on crushed common peroneal nerve of rabbits. Immunochemistry and Western blot analysis indicated that ABPP (0.01, 0.1, and 1.0μg/ml) encouraged neurite outgrowth from cultured DRG explants/neurons in a concentration-dependent manner through activation of ERK1/2. After crush injury to rabbit common peroneal nerve, animals received daily administration of ABPP for 5 weeks. Electrophysiological assessments and histomorphological evaluation showed that 6.0mg/kg ABPP significantly enhanced nerve regeneration and function restoration. Our findings suggest that ABPP could be used as a neurotrophic and neuroprotective agent to treat peripheral nerve crush injury.

The protective effects of Achyranthes bidentata root extract on the antimycin A induced damage of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells.

Suh KS, Lee YS, Choi EM.Author information Research Institute of Endocrinology, Kyung Hee University Hospital, 1, Hoegi-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, 130-702, Republic of Korea.AbstractAchyranthes bidentata (A. bidentata) Blume is a medicinal herb with the property of strengthening bones and muscles and ensuring proper downward flow of blood in terms of the therapeutic theory of traditional medicine. In the present study, the effect of A. bidentata root extract (AE) on osteoblast function was investigated in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. AE caused a significant elevation of alkaline phosphatase activity, collagen synthesis, osteocalcin production, and mineralization in the cells (P < 0.05). AE also decreased the production of TNF-α, IL-6, and RANKL induced by antimycin A, mitochondrial electron transport inhibitor. Exposure of MC3T3-E1 cells to antimycin A caused significant reduction of cell viability and mineralization. However, pretreatment with AE prior to antimycin A exposure significantly reduced antimycin A-induced cell damage by preventing mitochondrial membrane potential dissipation, ATP loss, ROS release, and nitrotyrosine increase, suggesting that AE may be useful for protecting mitochondria against a burst of oxidative stress. Moreover, AE increased the phosphorylation of cAMP-response element-binding protein inhibited by antimycin A. Our study demonstrates that A. bidentata could significantly prevent osteoblast damage in aged patients.
