However, the precise mechanism underlying the anticancer effects of MHO7 in prostate cancer (PCa) is yet to be fully elucidated. Therefore, this study was undertaken to assess the effect of MHO7 on PCa cells and elucidate its underlying mechanism. A series of in vitro experiments were conducted, including Cell Counting Kit-8, and plate clone formation assays, flow cytometry analysis, electron microscopy, immunofluorescence staining, western blotting, and molecular dynamics simulation. Additionally, in vivo tumor xenograft models were employed. Our findings revealed that MHO7 could induce cellular autophagy at low concentration (2 μM) and apoptosis at relatively high concentration (4 and 8 μM), leading to significant PCa cell growth inhibition. Furthermore, MHO7 triggered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which subsequently stimulated autophagy and apoptosis via IRE1α/XBP-1s signaling pathway activation. Notably, IRE1α knockdown markedly reduced MHO7-induced autophagy and apoptosis. Moreover, MHO7 targeted the IRE1α protein, thereby enhancing its stability. MHO7 also exhibited substantial anticancer activity in tumor xenograft models. Our study revealed that MHO7 holds considerable potential as an anticancer agent against PCa, attributable to its activation of ER stress-induced autophagy and apoptosis at different concentrations, facilitated by the upregulation of IRE1α expression.","PeriodicalId":20110,"journal":{"name":"Phytotherapy Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142546773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chemotherapy has been the traditional treatment for colorectal cancer and has demonstrated promising antitumor effects, leading to significant improvements in patient survival. However, the development of chemoresistance poses a major challenge during chemotherapy in colorectal cancer, significantly impeding treatment efficacy and affecting patient prognosis. Despite the development of a variety of novel anticolorectal cancer chemotherapy agents, their effectiveness and side effects vary, possibly due to the complex mechanisms of resistance in colorectal cancer. Abnormal drug metabolism or protein targets are the most direct causes of resistance. Further studies have revealed that these resistance mechanisms involve biochemical processes such as altered protein expression, autophagy, and epithelial-mesenchymal transitions. Herbal active ingredients offer an alternative treatment option and have shown promise in reversing colorectal cancer drug resistance. This paper aims to summarize the role of various biochemical processes and key protein targets in the occurrence and maintenance of resistance mechanisms in colorectal cancer. Additionally, it elaborates on the mechanisms of action of herbal active ingredients in reversing colorectal cancer drug resistance. The article also discusses the limitations and opportunities in developing novel anticolorectal cancer drugs based on herbal medicine.","PeriodicalId":20110,"journal":{"name":"Phytotherapy Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142505897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Polyphyllin VI (PPVI), extracted and isolated from Paris polyphylla Smith var. chinensis (Franch.) Hara, has been regarded as an important traditional Chinese herbal medicine for the treatment of respiratory system diseases. This study evaluated effects of PPVI on PF and its underlying mechanism. Experimental procedure For evaluating the anti-PF effect of PPVI, we established an in vivo PF mouse model via intratracheal infusion of bleomycin (BLM) in mice and an in vitro PF model induced by TGF-β1 in NIH/3T3, HPF and A549, respectively. Subsequently, the mechanism of PPVI effects was further explored using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). The in vivo and in vitro results demonstrated that PPVI significantly inhibited inflammation, oxidative damage, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Furthermore, RNA sequencing indicated that PPVI ameliorated PF by modulating inflammation and oxidative stress responses. Furthermore, dual specificity phosphatase 6 (DUSP6), was the shared and most significant differentially expressed gene associated with inflammation and oxidative stress response after PPVI treatment. Mechanistically, silencing DUSP6 can eliminate the suppressive impact on PPVI for the activation of fibroblast and the phosphorylation of ERK and AKT. Summarily, our findings revealed the potential of PPVI in mitigating PF via upregulating DUSP6 and highlighted the regulatory function of DUSP6 in the pathogenesis of PF.","PeriodicalId":20110,"journal":{"name":"Phytotherapy Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142472431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alpha-mangostin (α-MG) has been reported to have uric acid lowering effect. This study aimed to investigate the dual effects of α-MG on blood pressure (BP) and uric acid levels in angiotensin II (Ang II)-infused hypertensive mice. Male C57BL/6 mice were randomized into five groups: control, Ang II infusion (500 ng/kg/min for 2 weeks), Ang II infusion with gavage administration of α-MG 4.0 and 8.0 mg/kg and benzbromarone (25 mg/kg) respectively. BP, uric acid levels, vascular structure and function, and renin-Ang II system expressions in the aorta were assessed. Treatment with α-MG reduced BP, improved endothelial relaxation, and reversed aortic wall thickening and collagen deposition in Ang II-induced hypertensive mice. It also downregulated Ang II receptor 1 (AT1R) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) expression, while upregulating ACE2, Mas receptor (MasR), and angiotensin (1-7) in the aorta. Moreover, α-MG demonstrated a significant enhancement in uric acid clearance and reduction in serum uric acid levels. Conversely, benzbromarone did not result in a decrease in BP, indicating that the hypotensive effect of α-MG may not be necessarily dependent on its urate-lowering properties. α-MG can attenuate Ang II-induced hypertension and reverse vascular remodeling, potentially by balancing the ACE/Ang II/AT1R axis and the ACE2/Ang-(1-7)/MasR axis.

Therefore, identifying novel pharmaceuticals for therapeutic purposes is imperative. Several natural compounds and their products have demonstrated potential in the treatment of cancer. This study examined the effects of the ginger derivative 1-dehydro-6-gingerdione (1-D-6-G) on BC and its mechanisms of action. MTT and colony formation assays were used to check the anticancer effect of 1-D-6-G. Then the anticancer mechanism of 1-D-6-G was predicted using proteomics analysis. The molecular pathway was verified by qRT-PCR and immunobloting analysis. Additionally, the anticancer properties of 1-D-6-G were investigated in vivo using xenograft mice model. Finally, an in silico study was conducted to examine the interaction of 1-D-6-G and pathway-related proteins. MTT and colony formation assay results indicated that 1-D-6-G has potent cytotoxic properties against BC cells. Proteomic analysis revealed that the anticancer mechanism of 1-D-6-G on MDA-MB-231 cells is associated with the ferroptosis signaling pathway. In addition, qRT-PCR and immunoblotting analyses revealed that the cytotoxic effects of 1-D-6-G on MDA-MB-231 cells were associated with ferroptosis signaling induction. Our in vivo results further confirmed the in vitro findings. The administration of 1-D-6-G for 14 days exhibited anticancer properties in xenograft mice by stimulating the ferroptosis pathway without causing damage to essential organs such as the liver and kidneys. Additionally, in silico results confirmed the structural stability of the molecular interaction between 1-D-6-G and ferroptosis target proteins. Our findings indicate that 1-D-6-G has the potential to serve as a novel therapeutic agent for inhibiting BC progression by targeting the ferroptosis pathway.","PeriodicalId":20110,"journal":{"name":"Phytotherapy Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142472429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
