Firstly, the active constituents of GEB through ETCM and BATMAN-TCM databases were collected and its potential AD-related targets in Swiss Target Prediction were predicted. The potential targets related to AD were collected from the GeneCards, OMIM, CTD and DisGeNET databases, and the differential genes (DEGs) between the normal population and the AD patient population in GSE5281 chip of the Gene Expression Omnibus database were collected at the same time. The intersection of the three targets yielded 59 key targets of GEB for the treatment of AD. The drug-active ingredient-target-AD network diagram was constructed and visualized with Cytoscape software to obtain the core components. Subsequently, protein-protein interaction analysis (PPI) was performed on 59 key targets through STRING database, and Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses was performed on 59 key targets. Finally, molecular docking was conducted between core components and core targets using AutoDock software, and the <i>C. elegans</i> AD model was used for experimental verification to explore the regulatory paralysis effect of core components on the <i>C. elegans</i> model, β-amyloid (Aβ) plaque deposition, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction verification of the regulatory effect of components on targets. The GEB components 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl methane (DM) and protocatechuic aldehyde (PA) were found to be most strongly associated with AD, and five core targets were identified in the PPI network, including GAPDH, EP300, HSP90AB1, KDM6B, and CREBBP. In addition to GAPDH, the other four targets were successfully docked with DM and PA using AutoDock software. Compared with the control group, 0.5 mM DM and 0.25 mM PA significantly delayed <i>C. elegans</i> paralysis (P<0.01), and inhibited the aggregation of Aβ plaques in <i>C. elegans</i>. Both DM and PA could upregulate the expression level of core target gene HSP90AB1 (P<0.01), and DM upregulated the expression of KDM6B (P<0.01), suggesting that DM and PA may be potential active components of GEB in the treatment of AD.</p>","PeriodicalId":8863,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical reports","volume":"18 5","pages":"37"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/05/a5/br-18-05-01620.PMC10126622.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9718445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the present study was to: i) Estimate the antioxidant activity of a natural honey-based gel, commercially available under the trade name of 'Bear Strength honey gel' and to ii) assess the physiological and redox adjustments obtained after its consumption in healthy adult participants. For this purpose, 20 healthy participants (10 men and 10 women) included in their habitual diet 70 g of the honey-based gel for 14 days in a row. Pre- and post-consumption, physiological [weight, height, body mass index, body fat, waist-to-hip ratio, resting heart rate and blood pressure (BP)] and hematological (complete blood count) data were evaluated, along with the levels of five redox biomarkers: Glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), protein carbonyls (PCARBS) and thiobarbituric reactive substances (TBARS). The results revealed that the honey-based gel decreased the diastolic and mean arterial BP, especially in women, without affecting the rest of the physiological and hematological variables. Regarding the changes observed in antioxidant status variables, GSH was increased both in the total and women's group, while TAC was increased in all groups post-consumption. No changes were detected in the levels of CAT. Regarding oxidative stress, a decrease in the levels of TBARS in the total and women's group, was observed.

These targeted agents include first, second and third generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors; however, these lack clinical efficacy in the treatment of NSCLC due to intrinsic and acquired resistance. This resistance may be a result of genetic aberrations in oncogenic signaling mediators of divergent pathways. The present study aimed to investigate a novel dual tyrosine kinase and PI3K inhibitor, PP121, as a targeted agent in NSCLC cell lines. The present study co-cultured PP121 with healthy human astrocytes, a prevalent cell type located in the brain of NSCLC brain metastases. To date, few preclinical studies have examined the efficacy of PP121 as an anticancer agent, and to the best of my knowledge, no previous studies have previously evaluated its therapeutic potential in the treatment of NSCLC. To investigate the clinical heterogeneity of NSCLC, patient-derived adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) xenograft models were used, which exhibited epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) factor amplifications. Notably, both EGFR and MET are known contributors to tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance; thus, the aforementioned mutations and amplifications enabled the effects of PP121 to be evaluated in these solid tumors. In addition, a co-cultured model system using both NSCLC cells and astrocytes was employed to assess the effects of PP121 on the invasion of ADC and SCC cells in a multicellular environment.

There is increasing evidence to indicate that natural compounds capable of exerting neuroprotective and antioxidant activities, may function as potential therapeutic agents for cognitive impairment. The present study examined the neuroprotective effects of pinostrobin from <i>Boesenbergia rotunda</i> (L.) against chronic restraint stress (CRS)-induced cognitive impairment associated with the alterations of oxidative stress, neuronal density and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) of astrocytes in the hippocampus. For this purpose, male Wistar rats were administered once daily with pinostrobin (20 and 40 mg/kg, <i>per os</i>) prior to exposure to CRS (6 h/day) for 21 days. The cognitive behaviors, the concentration of malondialdehyde, and the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase were determined. Histologically, the alterations in astrocytic GFAP and excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (EAAT2) in the hippocampus were examined. The results revealed that pinostrobin potentially attenuated cognitive impairment in the Y-maze and in novel object recognition tests, with a reduction in oxidative stress. Furthermore, pinostrobin effectively increased neuronal density, as well as the immunoreactivities of GFAP and EAAT2 in the hippocampus. Taken together, these findings indicate that treatment with pinostrobin alleviates chronic stress-induced cognitive impairment by exerting antioxidant effects, reducing neuronal cell damage, and improving the function of astrocytic GFAP and EAAT2. Thus, pinostrobin may have potential for use as a neuroprotective agent to protect against chronic stress-induced brain dysfunction and cognitive deficits.</p>","PeriodicalId":8863,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical reports","volume":"18 3","pages":"20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/27/71/br-18-03-01602.PMC9922797.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10798472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
