Abstract
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common proliferative disease in older males. PuleanPian, containing rape pollen (RP), is a certified BPH medicine, but its main active compound and mechanism are unknown. This study aims to identify the main active compound of RP for the treatment of BPH. BPH rat models were induced with estradiol/testosterone (E2/T) and treated with RP or its alcohol extract (ALRP). RNA-seq and metabolomics were conducted, and RP compounds were identified via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). In vitro experiments used BPH-1 and RWPE-1 cells. E2/T induced BPH symptoms, alleviated by RP and ALRP treatment. RP possibly acts through phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathways, promoting autophagy. LC-MS identified five main RP compounds, with sinigrin implicated in BPH treatment via the PI3K/AKT(AKT Serine/Threonine Kinase 1)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) axis. Sinigrin may be the active compound in RP for BPH treatment, acting through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis.
期刊介绍:
Phytotherapy Research is an internationally recognized pharmacological journal that serves as a trailblazing resource for biochemists, pharmacologists, and toxicologists. We strive to disseminate groundbreaking research on medicinal plants, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and understanding in this field.
Our primary focus areas encompass pharmacology, toxicology, and the clinical applications of herbs and natural products in medicine. We actively encourage submissions on the effects of commonly consumed food ingredients and standardized plant extracts. We welcome a range of contributions including original research papers, review articles, and letters.
By providing a platform for the latest developments and discoveries in phytotherapy, we aim to support the advancement of scientific knowledge and contribute to the improvement of modern medicine.
