Jujube is a medicinal herb and daily food. Polysaccharides extracted from jujube possesses immune regulatory activity. In this study, we investigated whether jujube polysaccharides (JP) could ameliorate ulcerative colitis (UC), an inflammatory disease, and explore the potential mechanism of UC. We first extracted and characterized the structure JP, using dextran sulfate sodium-induced UC mice model to verify the pharmacological function. Research proved that JP treatment could ease UC mice symptoms and pathological injury. According to transcriptomics analysis, majority genes were enriched to cytokines-cytokines receptors signal pathway. Results showed that the increasing proinflammatory cytokines in UC mice colon were declined after JP intervention. Meanwhile, the receptor of interleukin-33 (IL-33), tumorigenicity 2 suppression (ST2) and downstream protein MYD88 expression in UC mice colon were corrected by JP intervention. As a result, according to immunohistochemistry detection, JP downregulated UC mice colon T cells expression (labeled by CD3+). We further employed flow cytometry to validate that JP could suppress CD4+ high expression on Jurkat cell stimulated by IL-33. In conclusion, JP could ameliorate UC mice symptoms, the mechanism of which was related to the regulation of IL-33/ST2 axis.

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Jian-Pi-Yi-Shen (JPYS) is a herbal decoction being used to relieve the symptoms of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its complications, including anemia, for over twenty years. Nonetheless, it is unclear how JPYS influences renal anemia and iron metabolism. Aim of the study: An analysis of network pharmacology, chemical profiling, and in vivo experiments was conducted to identify the impact of JPYS on JAK2-STAT3 pathway and iron utilization in renal anemia and CKD. Materials and methods: The chemical properties of JPYS and its exposed ingredients were detected in vivo. And based on the aforesaid chemical compounds, the potential targets and signaling pathways of JPYS for renal anemia treatment were predicted by network pharmacology. Afterward, an adenine-feeding animal model of CKD-related anemia was developed to verify the mechanism by which JPYS modulates iron recycling to treat renal anemia. Renal injury was estimated by serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), histopathological examinations and fibrosis degree. Western blot, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and immunohistochemistry approaches were utilized to assess the levels of JAK2, STAT3 and iron metabolism-related factors. Results: There were 164 active ingredients identified in JPYS, including prototypes and metabolites in vivo were identified in JPYS, and 21 core targets were found through network pharmacology based on topological characteristics. Combined with the core targets and pathway enrichment analysis, the majority of the candidate targets were associated with the JAK2-STAT3 signaling pathways. Experimental results indicated that JPYS treatment significantly decreased the expression of BUN and Scr, restored renal pathological damage, downregulated fibrosis degree, and improved hematological parameters such as red blood cell, hemoglobin and hematocrit in CKD rats. Furthermore, JPYS significantly restored iron metabolism from dysregulation by increasing the levels of iron and ferritin in the serum, inhibiting the production of hepcidin in liver and serum, and regulating transferrin receptor 1 in bone marrow. Meanwhile, the expression of JAK2 and STAT3 was suppressed by JPYS treatment. Conclusions: Based on these results, JPYS reduces hepcidin levels by inhibiting the activation of JAK2-STAT3 signaling, thereby protecting against iron deficiency anemia.
Helicobacter pylori was classified by the World Health Organization as a class 1 carcinogen. The development of drug-resistant strains of this pathogen poses a serious threat to human health worldwide. The cell invasion of H. pylori activates xenophagy in gastric epithelial cells by mediating miR-30b/c, and the emergence of autophagosomes provides a niche that enables the survival of intracellular H. pylori and promotes its drug resistance. This study revealed that some clinical drug-resistant H. pylori strains present much stronger invasive ability than standard strains. Patchouli alcohol (PA), a tricyclic sesquiterpene from Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth (Labiatae), showed reliable activity against intracellular H. pylori . The mechanisms appeared to involve the downregulation of miR-30c-3p/5p and miR-30b-5p, thereby upregulating xenophagy-related gene expression (ULK1, ATG5, ATG12, and ATG14) and enhancing xenophagy. PA also inhibited the nuclear transfection of miR-30b-5p induced by H. pylori , thereby enhancing transcription factor EB function and increasing lysosome activity. The finding of strongly invasive intracellular H. pylori has great implications for clinical treatment, and PA can act against invasive H. pylori based on the improvement of miR-30b/c mediated xenophagy. Taken together, the results demonstrate that PA have potential use as a candidate medication for intracellular drug-resistant H. pylori .

Jian-Pi-Yi-Shen (JPYS), the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction, has been commonly used to treat chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its complications such as anemia. JPYS has been previously found to induce erythropoietin (EPO) production in HEK293T cells and CKD rats. However, the mechanism of JPYS in treating anemia of CKD rats has remained largely unknown. Here, we further extend our effort to investigate the translational control of hypoxia inducible factor- (HIF-) α protein via ERK signaling and the effect on iron recycling-related protein expression by JPYS, thus revealing the mechanism of JPYS in correcting anemia in CKD. Experimental CKD rats with anemia were induced by 5/6 nephrectomy. Rats were administrated orally with high dose (6.0 g/kg/d) and low dose (1.5 g/kg/d) of JPYS for 90 days. Serum hepcidin level was determined to evaluate iron homeostasis. The protein expressions of HIF-2α, erythropoietin (EPO), ferritin, and ferroportin (FPN) and the phosphorylation level of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) were detected by Western blot. The results showed that JPYS treatment significantly ameliorated kidney function by reducing increased levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), and urine protein (UPRO). Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and Masson staining observation showed that the renal pathological damage was restored in JPYS-treated CKD rats. In parallel, JPYS markedly improved CKD anemia through upregulation of red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), and hematocrit (HCT). JPYS stimulated EPO and HIF-2α protein expressions in both the kidney and liver of CKD rats. Furthermore, JPYS induced the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 protein. In addition, JPYS regulated protein expression of ferritin and FPN in both the liver and spleen of CKD rats and the serum level of hepcidin. In conclusion, JPYS induces the expression of EPO through ERK-mediated HIF-2α protein accumulation and regulates systemic iron recycling, supporting its role in promoting erythropoiesis and improvement of anemia in CKD.

SMG-1,a member of the phosphoinositide kinase-like kinase family, functioned as a tumor suppressor gene. However, the role of SMG-1 in GC remain uncharacterized. In this study, regulation of SMG-1 by miR-192 and-215, along with the biological effects of this modulation, were studied in GC. We used gene microarrays to screening and luciferase reporter assays were to verify the potential targets of miR-192 and-215. Tissue microarrays analyses were applied to measure the levels of SMG-1 in GC tissues. Western blot assays were used to assess the signaling pathway of SMG-1 regulated by miR-192 and-215 in GC. SMG-1 was significantly downregulated in GC tissues.The proliferative and invasive properties of GC cells were decreased by inhibition of miR-192 and-215, whereas an SMG-1siRNA rescued the inhibitory effects. Finally, SMG-1 inhibition by miR-192 and-215 primed Wnt signaling and induced EMT. Wnt signaling pathway proteins were decreased markedly by inhibitors of miR-192 and-215, while SMG-1 siRNA reversed the inhibition apparently. Meanwhile, miR-192 and-215 inhitibtors increased E-cadherin expression and decreased N-cadherin and cotransfection of SMG-1 siRNA reversed these effects. In summary, these findings illustrate that SMG-1 is suppressed by miR-192 and-215 and functions as a tumor suppressor in GC by inactivating Wnt signaling and suppressing EMT.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate whether and at which neoplastic stage promoter hypermethylation of Helicase-like Transcription Factor (HLTF) is involved in human esophageal carcinogenesis. The researchers examined HLTF promoter hypermethylation using real-time quantitative methylation-specific PCR in 229 primary human esophageal tissues of contrasting histological types. Both HLTF mean normalized methylation value (NMV) and hypermethylation frequency were significantly higher in dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus (Dÿ 0.0303 and 10.0%), and esophageal adenocarcinomas (EAC, 0.0079 and 10.4%) than in normal esophagus (NE, 0.0006 and 0.0%; p<0.05 and p<0.05, respectively). Incremental increases in the frequency of HLTF hypermethylation were observed during progression from NE (0.0%) to Barrett’s esophagus (BE, 3.3%), D (10.0%), and EAC (10.4%). Meanwhile, HLTF mean NMV was significantly higher in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC, 0.0102) than in NE (p<0.05). Also, HLTF was hypermethylated in 7.7% ESCCs. Furthermore, mean NMV of HLTF was significantly higher in current alcohol drinking EAC patients (0.0194) than in non-current ones (0.0066, p<0.05). HLTF hypermethyaltion is an uncommon event in human esophageal cancer, but occurs early in a subset of EAC, and is related to the alcohol drinking status of EAC patients.
