GC chromatograms of essential oils of Kelussia odoratissima (i) and Angelica sinensis (ii); B: Structures of some of the main compounds (more than 5%) 1: n-Propylbenzene, 2: 2-Undecanone, 3: α-Copaene, 4: β-Thujaplicinol, 5: (Z)-γ-Bisabolene, 6: (3E)-Butylidene phthalide, 7: (Z)-Ligustilide, 8: (E)-Ligustilide, 9: Sclarene |
Schematics of zebrafish anti-angiogenesis and pBC regeneration bioassay methods. B: (1) Kelussia leave. (2) Angelica root. Bright-field and GFP filter view of: (3) 12 hpf Tg (fli: EGFP) embryo, (4) 3 dpf Tg(ins: GFP-NTR) larvae, (5) 4 dpf Tg(ins: GFP-NTR) larvae treated by MTZ, (6) 6 dpf Tg(ins: GFP-NTR) larvae, (7) 30 hpf Tg(fli: EGFP) embryo. Abbreviations: WT: Wild type; Tg: transgenic; dpf: days post fertilization; hpf: hours post fertilization; MTZ: metronidazole; PS: primary stock; WS: working stock; NT: Not treated; NC: Negative control; Ve: Vehicle; GFP: Green Fluorescent Protein NE: NECA. |
The anti-angiogenesis bioassay in the Tg(fli: EGFP) embryos A: Viability rate of zebrafish embryos exposed to different concentrations of extracts and essential oils. B: Relative vascular outgrowth in 30 hpf embryos after 18 h exposure to different samples in 7.81 µg/ml concentration (Larvae n:10). C: Vascular system of controls and treated zebrafish embryos. All the measurements were taken in triplicates and the values were presented as mean ± SD of three independent experiments, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. KVL: Kelussia volatile oil leaves; KEL: Kelussia leaves; AER: Angelica root; AVR: Angelica volatile oil root. |
pBC regeneration assay in the Tg(ins: GFP-NTR) larvae. A: Viability rate of zebrafish larvae treated with different extractions. B: The average pBC area in 6 dpf larvae after regeneration in comparison with the control group. C: Fluorescent images of 6 dpf larvae show pBC mass, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. KVL: Kelussia volatile oil leaves; KEL: Kelussia leaves; AER: Angelica root; AVR: Angelica volatile oil root; NC: Negative control. |
