The inflammatory response and oxidative stress are reportedly involved in the development of cardiovascular disorders postmenopause. In this study, we evaluated the cardioprotective effects of puerarin, a phytoestrogen derived from the root of Pueraria lobate, and investigated its underlying molecular mechanisms. Puerarin alleviated cytotoxicity and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- and hydrogen peroxide-stimulated H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. Puerarin scavenges free radicals and reduces apoptosis, thereby suppressing NADPH oxidase-1 and Bax activation to attenuate the production of ROS and restore Bcl-2 expression. Additionally, puerarin inhibited the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, and nitric oxide production and decreased the hypertrophic phenotype under LPS stimulation. Treatment with puerarin reduced the levels of malondialdehyde and restored glutathione levels when facing oxidative stress. Mechanistically, puerarin inhibited both the LPS-induced Toll-like receptor 4/NF-[Formula: see text]B and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. Furthermore, it reversed both the LPS-mediated downregulation of Akt activation and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression. The cardioprotective effects of puerarin were abolished by inhibitors of Akt and HO-1 and the estrogen receptor antagonist fulvestrant (ICI). This indicated that the estrogen receptor mediated by these two molecules plays important roles in conferring the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative functions of puerarin. These results demonstrate the therapeutic potential of puerarin for treating heart disease in postmenopausal women through Akt and HO-1 activation.","PeriodicalId":50814,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Chinese Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10637126","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}

Related biochemical indicators (coagulation factors and central pyrogenic factor) were measured to assess the efficacy of RR. Finally, metabonomic technology was used to study the blood-cooling mechanism of RR from two aspects: medicinal properties and efficacy. The comprehensive results suggest that RR can significantly reduce the rectal temperature of blood-heat syndrome model rats and increase both the expression levels of coagulation factors (TNF-[Formula: see text], IL-1[Formula: see text], and IL-6) and the central pyrogenic factors (c-AMP, PGE-2). RR also cools the blood through regulating arginine, proline, phenylalanine, taurine, hypotaurine, sulfur, glycerophospholipid, primary bile acid metabolic pathways, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Therefore, RR plays the role of cooling blood by virtue of its cold property. The medicinal property of RR has a guiding effect on the clinical application.

However, the role of bufalin in regulating lipid metabolism-related pathways of HCC remains unclear. In this study, we examined the interaction between bufalin and its target molecule, ATP1A1/CA2, in vitro and in vivo and explored the intersected downstream pathways in silico. A multi-omics analysis of transcriptomics and metabolomics was employed to screen for potential action targets. The results were verified and correlated with the downstream lipid de novo synthesis pathway and the bufalin/ATP1A1/CA2 axis. We found that bufalin suppressed the ATP1A1/CA2 ratio in the treated HCC cells and showed a negative correlation with bufalin drug sensitivity. Functionally, ATP1A1 overexpression and CA2 down-regulation inhibited the bufalin-suppressed HCC proliferation and metastasis. Furthermore, down-regulation of CA2 induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition and bufalin resistance in HCC cells by up-regulating ATP1A1. Mechanistically, lipid metabolism-related signaling pathways were enriched in low ATP1A1 and high CA2 expression subgroups in GSEA.

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is one of the major components of atherosclerotic plaques. It is evident that dietary supplementation containing sources of antioxidants can prevent atherogenic diseases. Schisanhenol (SAL), a dibenzocyclooctene lignin, has been shown to attenuate oxLDL-induced apoptosis and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in endothelial cells. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are still largely unknown. In this study, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were pre-treated with SAL and oxLDL. Our results showed that adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation was enhanced in cells pre-treated with SAL in time-dependent and dose-dependent manners. Subsequently, oxLDL-induced AMPK dephosphorylation and protein kinase C (PKC) phosphorylation were significantly reversed in the presence of SAL. In addition, SAL treatment led to an inhibiting effect on the oxLDL-induced membrane assembly of NADPH oxidase subunits, and a similar effect was observed in ROS generation. This effect was further confirmed using knockdown AMPK with small interfering RNA (siRNA) and pharmaceutical reagents, such as the AMPK activator (AICAR), PKC inhibitor (Gö 6983), and ROS inhibitor (DPI). Furthermore, the oxLDL-induced intracellular calcium rise and the potential collapse of the mitochondrial membrane reduced the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, and released cytochrome c from the mitochondria, leading to the subsequent activation of caspase-3 in HUVECs, which were also markedly suppressed by SAL pretreatment. The results mentioned above may provide additional insights into the possible molecular mechanisms underlying the cardiovascular protective effects of SAL.","PeriodicalId":50814,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Chinese Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10480816","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}

Moreover, RUS notably suppressed oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-triggered cell injury and apoptosis. Notably, RUS demonstrated a considerable decrease of the interaction between myosin IIA and F-actin, along with the restoration of mitochondrial fusion and fission balance. We further confirmed that the effects of RUS on MI were mediated by myosin IIA using siRNA and overexpression techniques. The inhibition of myosin IIA resulted in a significant improvement of mitochondrial fusion and fission imbalance, while simultaneously counteracting the beneficial effects of RUS. By contrast, overexpression of myosin IIA aggravated the imbalance between mitochondrial fusion and fission and partially weakened the protection of RUS. These findings suggest that myosin IIA is essential or even a key functional protein in the cardioprotection of RUS.

The use of probiotic enzymes during fermentation alters the active ingredients of TCM, resulting in positive pharmacological effects such as increased active ingredients, reduced toxicity, new pharmacological effects, and the reuse of herbal residues. PFHM has the potential to transfer the metabolic transformation of the effective components of TCM by intestinal flora outside the body during production and preparation, which has a broad application prospect.
