The study utilized techniques such as network pharmacology, transcriptome sequencing to investigate the mechanism and target of salidroside in regulating blood-brain barrier (BBB) function to protect hypoxic brain injury in vivo. Utilized macromolecular docking and molecular biology techniques to explore the molecular mechanism of salidroside in alleviating brain injury induced by hypoxia in BV2 cell model. The results show that salidroside alleviated the learning and memory dysfunction and pathological injury in mice exposed to hypobaric hypoxia, reduced brain water content and attenuate the inflammatory response and oxidative stress, effectively reversed S100β in serum and promoted the repair of BBB. GSK3β is an important therapeutic target of salidroside in the treatment of hypoxic cognitive impairment, and salidroside can specifically bind GSK3β in the ATP binding pocket, inducing the phosphorylation of GSK3β, targeting downstream Nrf-2 to regulate microglia activity, promoting the accumulation of β-catenin, thereby inhibiting microglial activation, improving the BBB integrity injury and achieving a neuroprotective effect. This study demonstrates that salidroside can inhibit the activation of microglia by inducing GSK3β phosphorylation, achieve neuroprotective effects and alleviate learning and memory dysfunction in hypobaric hypoxia mice.

Thus, the main purpose of the present article is to provide a thorough and multidisciplinary critical review of M. aquatica L., including its phytochemical characterization, main bioactivities, and current marketed cosmetic products. Many compounds have been identified as part of M. aquatica L. composition, such as terpenes, phenolic acids, phenols, and terpenoids, which have been linked to a vast therapeutic potential, namely anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiobesity, and hepatoprotection bioactivities, with additional anticancer potential for several types of tumors (breast, lung, and skin), and psycho and neuroactive potential in depression, or Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Additionally, it has been proven to be suitable for cosmetic application since several cleansing, hydrating, protecting, and/or odor masking products containing it are already available, with the main functions attributed to M. aquatica including refreshing/cooling effects, calming/soothing/relaxing effects, and purifying effects, properties closely related to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant bioactivities. Hence, M. aquatica is an extremely versatile plant, with its extracts and essential oils having great therapeutic and cosmetic potential.

This study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of ethanol extract of P. ginseng (PG) in treating depression and its underlying FKBP51-linked mechanism. Using chronic unpredictable stress, a depression model was developed in Kunming mice to test the efficacy of PG by observing changes in behaviors and protein expression in depressed mice. The mechanism of action was investigated through transfection with HEK293T cells. Depressed mice treated with PG demonstrated notable improvements: the rate of weight loss was reduced, sucrose preference and open-field activity were enhanced, and the rate of apoptosis in hippocampal cells was decreased. Additionally, the HPA axis function appeared to be restored. These physiological adjustments coincided with an increase in GR levels and a decrease in FKBP51 levels. Altogether, these results suggested that PG treatment effectively alleviates depressive symptoms in mice. PG also moderated FKBP51-GR interaction, lessening FKBP51's restraint on GR nuclear entry. This modulation may enhance the sensitivity of the GR response, reinforcing the negative feedback regulation of the HPA axis and thereby reducing depressive symptoms in mice.
