摘要
Ionizing radiation can induce DNA damage and cell death by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). The objective of this study was to investigate the radio-protective effect of catalpol (a main bioactive component in the traditional Chinese Rehmannia) on irradiated cells and mice. We found that treating cells with catalpol (25-100 mu g/ml) before irradiation could significantly inhibit ionizing radiation (IR)-induced human lymphocyte AHH-1 cells apoptosis and increase cells viability in vitro. At the same time our study also showed that catalpol (25-100 mg/kg) reduced morphological damage of the gastrointestinal tract by 15.6%, 33.3% and 44.4%, respectively compared with the radiation-induced group, decreased plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) intestinal 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels and increased plasma endogenous antioxidants and peripheral white blood cells and platelets in vivo. These results suggest that catalpol possesses notable radio-protective activity, which might be related to its effect of reducing ROS.
