Tanshinone IIA (TIIA) and Matrine (MAT), two herbal medicinal compounds, have been reported to exhibit several similar pharmacological properties including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects. Although previous studies have reported the combined therapeutic efficacy of using two drugs in treating ALI, it remains unknown whether TIIA and MAT have any synergistic effect in alleviating ALI/ARDS. Therefore, this study investigated whether a combined therapy of TIIA and MAT has protective effects against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI and its mechanism of action using mouse and cell models. The results showed that the TIIA + MAT combination ameliorated ALI by reducing edema, tissue injury, and proinflammatory cytokine secretion. This therapy enhanced antioxidant defences, as indicated by upregulated GPX4 and SLC7A11 levels, decreased 4-HNE and ROS levels, and ferroptosis inhibition. Furthermore, TIIA + MAT promoted Nrf2 nuclear translocation, leading to increased HO-1 expression and an anti-oxidative response. These findings suggest that the combination of TIIA and MAT alleviates LPS-induced ALI by inhibiting ferroptosis via activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. Thus, the co-administration of TIIA and MAT may be an effective therapeutic strategy for ALI, potentially offering a novel clinical approach to mitigate ferroptosis and inflammation.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50684,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology","volume":"52 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145250346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the potential of Kisspeptin-10 (Kp-10), with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, has not been explored experimentally in the context of stroke management. This study aimed to investigate the neurovascular protective effects of Kp-10 following cerebral ischemia using both in vivo and in vitro models. A middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was established in C57BL/6 mice, followed by Kp-10 administration. Neurological deficits (Longa score), infarct volume (TTC staining), BBB permeability (14C-Sucrose), and Claudin-10 expression (qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry) were assessed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of Kp-10. Human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMVECs) were subjected to oxygen–glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) to mimic ischemic conditions. Endothelial permeability, oxidative stress (OS), and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) levels were evaluated. Nrf2 silencing was performed to validate its role in Kp-10-mediated protection. Initially, we observed a significant reduction in Kp-10 expression within the cortical tissue of mice subjected to MCAO. Subsequent administration of Kp-10 not only alleviated neurological deficits but also significantly mitigated blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction following stroke induction, as evidenced by reduced 14C-sucrose leakage. Furthermore, Kp-10 treatment led to an upregulation of Claudin-10 expression in the post-stroke cortical region. In our in vitro experiments, we employed HBMVECs exposed to OGD/R to simulate ischemic conditions. We found that Kp-10 effectively reduced OGD/R-induced endothelial permeability by enhancing Claudin-10 expression. Additionally, Kp-10 exhibited antioxidant capabilities by decreasing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and upregulating nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression. Notably, when Nrf2 was knocked down in HBMVECs, the protective effects of Kp-10 on endothelial permeability and Claudin-10 expression were abolished, indicating that the beneficial actions of Kp-10 are mediated through the Nrf2 pathway. In conclusion, our findings suggest that Kp-10 holds promise as a therapeutic strategy to preserve BBB integrity and promote neuroprotection following stroke, acting primarily via the Nrf2 signalling pathway. These findings suggest that Kp-10 may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for preserving BBB integrity following ischemic stroke.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50684,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology","volume":"52 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145191135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

GPR39, a G protein-coupled receptor, has emerged as a possible therapeutic target, and its agonist, TC-G 1008, may provide protection against metabolic disorders. In this study, we investigated the expression of GPR39 in the murine placenta and its role in GDM-related placental dysfunction using a high-fat diet-induced GDM mouse model. Mice were treated with TC-G 1008 (7.5 and 15 mg/kg) from gestational day 0 to 18, and placental tissues were analysed via RT-PCR, Western blot, immunohistochemistry, ELISA, and biochemical assays. Our findings indicated that GPR39 expression was markedly reduced in GDM mice relative to wild-type controls. Administration of TC-G 1008 (7.5 and 15 mg/kg) enhanced fetal outcomes, including survival rate, weight, and crown-rump length, while also mitigating maternal metabolic disorders such as hyperglycaemia, insulin resistance, and dyslipidaemia. Moreover, the administration of TC-G 1008 mitigated placental oxidative stress by augmenting SOD activity and GSH levels, while inhibiting NLRP1 inflammasome activation, as shown by diminished expression of NLRP1, ASC, and Caspase-1, alongside lowered levels of IL-1β and IL-18. Furthermore, GPR39 activation suppressed the NF-κB and MAPK signalling pathways. These findings suggest that GPR39 activation by TC-G 1008 ameliorates placental dysfunction in GDM by mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation via suppression of the NLRP1 inflammasome, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic strategy for GDM-associated complications.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50684,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology","volume":"52 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145091241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells were treated with lipopolysaccharide to induce injury. Cell apoptosis and inflammation were evaluated by flow cytometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Succinylation was analysed using immunoblotting, co-immunoprecipitation and protein stability assay. The results showed that kaempferol inhibited apoptosis and inflammation response in LPS-treated HPMVECs and attenuated lung damage in septic mice.

Overexpression of SIRT5 or knockdown of SRPK1 reversed the inhibitory effects of kaempferol or SIRT5 knockdown on cellular biological behaviours, respectively. In conclusion, kaempferol attenuates sepsis-induced lung injury by inhibiting HPMVEC apoptosis and inflammation.

Thus, the present study examined the effect of RUF on EEG activity, behavioural testing, oxidative stress, and mRNA expression in PTZ-kindled mice.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Male BALB/c mice were administered rufinamide (30, 60, and 90 mg/kg) for 21 days along with 11 injections of PTZ (40 mg/kg) given every other day. EEG recordings were monitored and a series of behavioural tests after RUF treatment were done to assess the post-kindling associated anxiety and memory impairment. We also assessed the oxidative alterations, variation in real-time BDNF/TrkB mRNA expression as well as neuroinflammatory markers in isolated mice brains.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Analysis of results showed that RUF at the dose of 90 mg/kg maximally suppressed the progression of full-bloom seizures and decreased cortical epileptic spike discharge. Moreover, RUF showed significant anxiolytic action and prevented PTZ-induced cognitive decline in a dose-dependent manner. Because of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, RUF decreased lipid peroxidation, AChE activity, raised glutathione and superoxide dismutase levels in the mice brain. RUF suppressed the PTZ-induced upregulation of BDNF/TrkB signalling and significantly reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>It is possible that the effects of RUF that have been seen are the consequence of decreased oxidative stress, BDNF/TrkB downregulation, and reduced expression of neuroinflammatory markers, which in turn reduce ictogenesis and improve the neuropsychiatric consequences associated with epilepsy.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50684,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology","volume":"52 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145074620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
