观察植物凝集素PHA-L对小鼠急性辐射损伤的保护作用及相关机制。采用动物30 d存活率实验,即小鼠全身辐照至吸收剂量为7.2 Gy后观察其存活情况;利用外周血和免疫学实验,小鼠全身照射至吸收剂量为7.2 Gy后测外周血白细胞数(White blood cell,WBC)、股骨有核细胞数(The number of nucleated cells in bone marrow,BMNC)、骨髓DNA含量以及各脏器指数;对小鼠进行9.0 Gy腹部照射,取小肠组织做病理切片观察。结果显示,照射给药组小鼠30 d存活率比单纯照射组均有提高,特别是高剂量组提高约60%;与单纯照射组相比,照射给药高剂量组的白细胞数、骨髓DNA含量和脾结节数均有提高,分别从0.74±0.16、1.02±0.17和9.80±6.46提高到1.18±0.40、1.22±0.17和18.10±6.87,数据均有统计学意义(p<0.05),并且PHA-L对脏器也有一定的保护作用;与单纯照射组相比,照射给药高剂量组小鼠肠道组织损伤恢复明显。提示植物凝集素PHA-L对急性辐射损伤具有保护作用,但其作用机制有待进一步研究。
[Objective] This study aimed to evaluate the healthy risk of genetically modified (GM) soybeans by using a novel approach for functions and safety of food.[Method] Different from traditional evaluation of substantial equivalence, three great innovations were performed in this study, involving in basic diet, evaluation approaches and principle, as well as the clarification of connotation differences between absolute and relative mass of organs. Hence a novel BDI-GS (Benefit- Damage Index and General Score) evaluation approach was established and applied in comparative evaluation between RR GM and natural soybeans. Healthy male ICR mice during linear growth were selected; experimental mice were fed with 15% RR GM soybeans and 15% natural soybeans blending maize meal diets, and control mice were fed with single maize meal diet for 13 d; the mice were dissected after collecting blood samples and perfectly obtained nine organs or tissues to record their masses and conduct statistical analyses.[Result] Plenty of matching information was obtained through simple design. The growth performance of treated mice was markedly of individual differences, some mice were thwarted due to regular intake of RR soybeans. Meanwhile, the functions and safety of RR soybeans were markedly lowered in overall nutritional and healthy effects than those of natural soybeans expressed in GS values, and presents some declines in nutrition and health of thymus, pancreas and spermary; especially, it can make thymus immune (P<0.05) in markedly lower level than that of natural soybeans.[Conclusion] Therefore, major troubles and risks of RR soybeans intake are of personal risks in different degrees, in addition, it may increase sub-health and related chronic epidemics risks, and herein it will presents certain safety issues. The creation of this novel evaluation system provides a simple and available evaluation approach for functions and potential risks revelation of food effects, and will yield far-reaching influences to safety evaluation and healt
