The main toxic components of it are cardiac glycosides, which tend to cause cardiotoxicity. Currently, it has also been reported in studies to cause hepatotoxicity, but it is not clear whether the hepatotoxicity is related to the toxicity caused by the reactive metabolites. This study aims to investigate the target components of CP that generate reactive metabolic toxicity. The fluorescent probe method was used to detect glutathione (GSH)-trapped reactive metabolites in a co-incubation system of CP extract with rat liver microsomes. Identification of GSH conjugates was performed by LC–MS/MS and that of the possible precursor components that produce reactive metabolites was conducted by UPLC–Q-TOF/MS. Cell viability assays were performed on HepG2 and L02 cells to determine the cytotoxicity of the target components. The findings of our study demonstrate that the extract derived from CP has the ability to generate metabolites that exhaust the intracellular GSH levels, resulting in the formation of GSH conjugates and subsequent cytotoxic effects. Through the utilization of the UPLC–Q-TOF/MS technique, we were able to accurately determine the molecular weight of the precursor compound in CP to be 355.1023. The primary evidence to determining the GSH conjugetes relies on the appearance of characteristic product ions resulting from central neutral loss (CNL) scanning of 129 Da and product scanning of <i>m</i>/<i>z</i> 660 in the positive MS/MS spectrum. Through analysis, it was ultimately ascertained that the presence of chlorogenic acid (CGA) and its isomers, namely neochlorogenic acid (NCGA) and cryptochlorogenic acid (CCGA), could lead to the production of GSH conjugates, resulting in cytotoxicity at elevated levels. Taking these findings into consideration, the underlying cause for the potential hepatotoxicity of CP was initially determined.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":654,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natural Medicines","volume":"78 4","pages":"1044 - 1056"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11418-024-01835-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141892538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the protective mechanism of DB on intestinal inflammatory-related diseases has still not been elucidated. The present study aimed to explore the protection mechanism of DB on IEB dysfunction in rat ileum and human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (Caco-2)/human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) coculture system induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). DB could ameliorate rat ileum mucosa morphological injury, reduce the accumulation of lipid-peroxidation products and increase the expression of junction proteins. DB also alleviated LPS-induced Caco-2 cells barrier integrity destruction in Caco-2/ HUVECs coculture system, leading to increased trans-endothelial electrical resistance (TEER), reduced cell permeability, and upregulation of expressions of F-actin and junction proteins. DB contributed to the assembly of actin cytoskeleton by upregulating the FAK-DOCK180-Rac1-WAVE2-Arp3 pathway and contributed to the formation of intercellular junctions by downregulating TLR4-MyD88-NF-κB pathway, thus reversing LPS-induced IEB dysfunction.

In this study, we assess the antitumor activities of UC in vitro and in vivo and further explore the underlying mechanisms in CRC cell lines. We found that UC inhibited the proliferation and migration of CRC cells, induced apoptosis, and arrested the cell cycle at the G2/M phase in vitro, and UC inhibited tumor growth in a subcutaneous transplantation tumor model in vivo. Mechanically, UC blocked the activation of the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway by decreasing the expression of Y-box binding protein 1(YBX1). The AKT agonist SC79 could reverse the suppression of cell proliferation in UC-treated CRC cells. In conclusion, our research revealed that UC could prevent the progression of CRC by blocking AKT/mTOR signaling, suggesting that it may have potential therapeutic values.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":654,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natural Medicines","volume":"78 4","pages":"887 - 900"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11364574/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141287532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
