中药黄芪(Astragali Radix)抗阿霉素所致心肌细胞毒性的作用机制尚未完全阐明.本文基于阿霉素心肌细胞毒性转录组学数据,以网络药理学方法探讨黄芪抗阿霉素心肌细胞毒性的物质基础与作用机制,并在细胞水平进行验证.网络药理学研究结果显示,黄芪中7-O-甲基异丁香酚、山柰酚、槲皮素、刺芒柄花素、异鼠李素等21个有效成分主要通过TP53、STAT3、AKT1、MAPK1等12个核心靶点作用于PI3K-AKt等信号通路发挥抗阿霉素心肌细胞毒性作用.细胞实验结果显示,给予黄芪处理能显著降低阿霉素导致的H9C2心肌细胞凋亡,增加G1期细胞,减少G2期细胞;同时阿霉素上调核心靶点TP53、STAT3、MAPK1的mRNA表达,下调AKT1的mRNA表达,黄芪处理能剂量依赖降低核心靶点TP53、STAT3、MAPK1的mRNA表达并上调AKT1的mRNA表达.本研究表明黄芪可能主要通过PI3K-Akt信号通路中的TP53、STAT3、AKT1、MAPK1对阿霉素引起的心肌细胞毒性发挥保护作用.
The normal development of follicles determines the reproductive performance of females. Granulosa cells (GC) play crucial roles in follicular maturation. Numerous studies have shown that miRNAs are involved in the regulation of GC. According to our previous sequencing data, gga-miR-146b-3p was differentially expressed in normal and atretic chicken follicles. In this study, we verified that gga-miR-146b-3p attenuated proliferation and autophagy but promoted apoptosis in chicken GC. Threonine kinase1 (AKT1), a key member of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway, was predicted to be a target gene of gga-miR-146b-3p via bioinformatic analysis. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assays were used to determine target relationships. Moreover, knockout of AKT1 decelerated proliferation and autophagy while accelerating the apoptosis of GC. However, overexpression of AKT1 reversed these results. In summary, our results demonstrated that gga-miR-146b-3p repressed the proliferation and autophagy of chicken GC while up-regulating apoptosis by targeting AKT1 through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. These findings may provide great insights for further exploration of the molecular regulation of gga-miR-146b-3p and AKT1 on the functions of GC during folliculogenesis.

To investigate the inhibitory effects of two xanthone compounds, 1-hydroxy-2,3,4,8-4 methoxy xanthone(here in after referred to as Fr15) and 1-hydroxy-2,3,4,6-4 methoxy xanthone(here in after referred to as Fr17), on the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells HepG2, and to further investigate their mechanism in combination with transcriptomics. Cell counting was used to detect the effects of two kinds of xanthone compounds Fr15 and Fr17(0, 0.03, 0.15, 0.3 mmoL·L~(-1)) on the proliferation of HepG2 cells; the effects of the two compounds Fr15 and Fr17 on HepG2 cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry; the changes of autophagosomes count in cells were observed under fluorescence microscope; the expression of autophagy marker proteins autophagy marker proteins SQSTM 1(p62) and microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 Ⅰ/Ⅱ(LC3 Ⅰ/Ⅱ) in the cells was detected by Western blot; the differentially expressed genes between the control group and the experimental group were analyzed by RNA-seq transcriptome sequencing; qRT-PCR was used to verify the differentially expressed genes in sequencing. The results showed that compounds Fr15 and Fr17 inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells with the increase of drug concentration and time. Flow cytometry showed that compounds Fr15 and Fr17 had little effect on HepG2 cell cycle. Fluorescence microscopy results showed that the number of autophagosomes in cells increased with the increase of drug concentration. Western blot showed that the expression of p62 protein was decreased and the expression of LC3-Ⅱ protein was significantly increased after drug addition. The results of RNA sequencing showed that 26 102 and 52 351 differentially expressed genes were obtained in Fr15 and Fr17 respectively. Analysis of KEGG showed that drug treatment had a great effect on autophagy pathway. qRT-PCR verified that 6 up-regulated genes were related to autophagy, and their trend was consis-tent with sequencing results, where all 6 genes showed an up-regulated trend. Two xanthone compounds Fr15 and Fr17 may inhibit proliferation of HepG2 cells by inducing autophagy.

Previous studies have shown that Huangqi glycoprotein (HQGP) has an anti-inflammatory effect in vitro, and suppressed experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of multiple sclerosis; however, the mechanism underlying its effect is largely unknown. In this manuscript we investigated the mechanisms by which HQGP protect mice from EAE. HQGP was extracted from Astragalus membranaceus and purified by anion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography. HQGP delayed disease onset, reduced disease severity and alleviated inflammation and demyelination in the central nervous system (CNS). Moreover, HQGP reduced the infiltration of pathogenic immune cells and increased the expression of microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP-2) and neuronal nuclei (NeuN) in the CNS. HQGP treatment also reduced the expression of chemokines such as CCL2 and CCL5 and the production of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, but increased the level of IL-10. These results demonstrate that HQGP suppressed EAE development by modulating the immune system and the infiltration of leukocytes to the CNS as well as promoting axon and neural repair.
Triptolide is a major active ingredient isolated from the traditional Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F. However, its use in clinical practice is limited due to its severe hepatotoxicity. Autophagy, a highly conserved intracellular process, is essential for maintaining cytoplasmic homeostasis. Considering that abnormalities in autophagy are closely associated with drug-mediated hepatotoxicity, we applied human normal liver HL7702 cells to elucidate the roles of autophagy in triptolide-induced hepatotoxicity. Our study revealed that triptolide was cytotoxic to HL7702 cells. It markedly increased autophagosome formation and expression of autophagy-related proteins, namely Beclin1 and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3II, and induced oxidative stress. These proautophagic effects were counteracted by pretreatment with N-acetylcysteine, a reactive oxygen species scavenger. Moreover, the pharmacological suppression of autophagy further exacerbated triptolide-elicited decrease in cell viability, increase in lactate dehydrogenase leakage, and activation of apoptosis proteases (caspase 3 and caspase 9). Our findings suggest that triptolide-induced oxidative stress consequently enhances autophagic activity, and autophagy is a cytoprotective mechanism against triptolide-induced cytotoxicity in HL7702 cells.

As a major active component extracted from traditional Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, triptolide exhibits multiple pharmacological effects. Autophagy is an evolutionary conserved intracellular catabolic process involved in cytoplasmic materials degradation. Autophagic dysfunction contributes to the pathologies of many human diseases, which makes it a promising therapeutic target. Recent studies have shown that triptolide exerts neuroprotection, anti-tumor activities, organ toxicity, and podocyte protection by modulating autophagy. This article highlights the current information on triptolide-modulated autophagy, analyzes the possible pathways involved, and describes the crosstalk between autophagy and apoptosis modulated by triptolide, in hope of providing implications for the roles of autophagy in pharmacological effects of triptolide and expanding its novel usage as an autophagy modulator.
