QingReDu Capsule is commonly used clinically to treat psoriasis vulgaris, the mechanism of treating psoriasis vulgaris is still unclear. Using the ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS), we analyzed the components in rat plasma after QingReDu Capsule administration. We then predicted the mechanistic pathways of QingReDu Capsule in ameliorating psoriasis vulgaris by screening the intersecting targets of the QingReDu Capsule plasma entry components and psoriasis vulgaris using network pharmacology and molecular docking. Combined with pharmacodynamic evaluation and HE staining, we investigated the efficacy and mechanism of QingReDu Capsule in treating psoriasis vulgaris. Forty-one compounds were identified in the rat plasma after QingReDu Capsule administration, thirty-seven QingReDu Capsule components with the InChI SMILES structure were screened, and two hundred and thirty-five targets intersected with psoriasis vulgaris. network pharmacology revealed that QingReDu Capsule is not only involved in the regulation of the inflammatory response, reactive oxygen species metabolism, and intracellular oxidative stress, but also related to the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways. The molecular docking results showed that 10 components, including Myristicin, had good affinity with the screened core targets. The pharmacodynamic results showed that QingReDu Capsule reduced the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 17 (IL-17), and interleukin 23 (IL-23) by down-regulating the protein levels of enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2) and NF-κB, reduced erythema and the scaling of skin lesions, and treated histopathological damage to the skin, such as hyperkeratosis with keratosis imperfecta and the thickening of the sphenoid layer. These findings illustrated that QingReDu Capsule treat psoriasis vulgaris by affecting the EZH2/NF-κB signaling pathway and influencing the level of inflammatory factors.
Persicae Semen is an edible Chinese herbal medicine that ameliorates myocardial ischemia. However, its pharmacodynamic properties and mechanisms of action remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the ameliorative effect of Persicae Semen extract (PS) on acute myocardial ischemia (AMI) in rats and explore its mechanism of action. After the PS administration to rats, 12 compounds were identified in the plasma. PS can significantly improve cardiac function, regulate creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), cardiac troponin (cTn I), α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in the serum, and ameliorate the pathological injury of AMI in rats. Metabolomics and network pharmacology of components absorbed in to plasma showed that PS may regulate the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway and arachidonic acid metabolism, then ameliorate myocardial ischemic injury. This study found that PS significantly improved cardiac function in rats with AMI, through the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway and arachidonic acid metabolism.
The pharmacokinetics (PK) of Rhodiola crenulata in rats were studied, and pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) correlation analysis was performed to elucidate their time–concentration–effect relationship. The myocardial ischemia model was made with pituitrin. Rats were divided into sham operation, sham operation administration, model, and model administration groups (SG, SDG, MG, and MDG, respectively; n = 6). Blood was collected from the fundus venous plexus at different time points after oral administration. The HPLC-QQQ-MS/MS method was established for the quantification of five components of Rhodiola crenulata. CK, HBDH, SOD, LDH, and AST at different time points were detected via an automatic biochemical analyzer. DAS software was used to analyze PK parameters and PK-PD correlation. The myocardial ischemia model was established successfully. There were significant differences in the PK parameters (AUC0–t, AUC0–∞, Cmax) in MDG when compared with SDG. Two PD indicators, CK and HBDH, conforming to the sigmoid-Emax model, had high correlation with the five components, which indicated a delay in the pharmacological effect relative to the drug concentration in plasma. The difference in the PK parameters between modeled and normal rats was studied, and the time–concentration–effect of composition and effect indicators were investigated. This study can provide reference for the rational clinical application of Rhodiola crenulata and for related studies of other anti-myocardial ischemia drugs.
Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic recurrent dermatological disease that patients always suffer from different comorbidities. Chinese herbal medicine has been commonly used in the treatment of psoriasis for a long history. However, the mechanism operating between Qing-Ying Dizhuo Decoction (QYDD) (a heat-clearing and blood -cooling decoction) and psoriasis remains unclear. This paper aimed to study the role of QYDD in psoriasis and its underlying mechanism.Methods: HaCaT cells were induced by a mixture of IL-22, IL-17A, oncostatin M, TNF-alpha and IL-1 alpha (M5) to construct the in vitro model of psoriasis. CCK-8 assay was utilized to assess the cell proliferation ability. The expressions of KRT1, KRT6, TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-23, EZH2, I Kappa B alpha, p65 and IKK were determined by qRT-PCR, western blot and ELISA.Results: M5 induction increased levels of KRT6, IL-1 beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha and IL-23, enhanced the proliferation ability of HaCaT cells and decreased KRT1 expression, while QYDD treatment reversed these trends. Overexpression of EZH2 reversed the inhibitory effects of QYDD on cell inflammatory response and proliferation of M5-induced HaCaT cells. QYDD suppressed M5-activated NF-Kappa B signaling pathway as evidenced by decreased levels of phosphorylated IKK and p65 and increased level of phosphorylated I Kappa B alpha, while overexpression of EZH2 offset, in part, the regulation of the NF-Kappa B pathway by QYDD. An NF-Kappa B activator (betulinic acid) weakened the inhibitory effect of QYDD on the inflammatory response of HaCaT keratinocytes.Conclusion: QYDD appears to inactivate the NF-Kappa B signaling pathway by inhibiting EZH2, thereby repressing the proliferation and suppressing inflammatory response of HaCaT cells and attenuating psoriasis.
To investigate the mechanism underlying the effect of paeoniflorin (PF) on the proliferation and migration of psoriatic keratinocytes. The expressions of long noncoding RNA NEAT1, miR-3194-5p and Galectin-7 in skin tissues from psoriatic patients and healthy controls were detected. Psoriatic HaCat cells were used to investigate the function of NEAT1 and Galectin-7 as well as the effect and mechanism of PF in psoriasis. MTT, colony formation and scratch assays were used to assess the proliferation and migration of psoriatic HaCat cells. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to validate the interactions among NEAT1, miR-3194-5p and Galectin-7. NEAT1 and Galectin-7 were lowly expressed and miR-3194-5p was highly expressed in psoriatic patients. PF suppressed the proliferation and migration of psoriatic HaCat cells by elevating the expressions of NEAT1 and Galectin-7. NEAT1 positively mediated the expression of Galectin-7 by targeting miR-3194-5p. PF controls the proliferation and migration of psoriatic HaCat cells via the NEAT1/miR-3194-5p/Galectin-7 axis.

AIMS: To investigate the cytoplasmic P21 expression regulating the apoptosis of human bronchial epithelial cell. MOTHEDS: The relationship of the cytoplasmic P21 expression with the apoptosis of 16HBE cells was studied after the plasmid pEGFP-N1-P21 was transfected into the 16HBE cells. After the 16HBE cells was the stimulated by the TGF-β1, the cytoplasmic and nucleic P21 expression and the apoptosis of 16HBE cell was detected, then the relationship of the P21 expression with the apoptosis of 16HBE cells was studied. RESULTS: The 16HBE cell had the basic low cytoplasmic and mainly high nucleic P21 protein expression, the plasmid PEGFP-N1-P21 could express P21 protein only in the cytoplasm of 16HBE cell and did not affect the nucleic P21 protein level. The apoptosis of 16HBE cells after transfection of the PEGFP-N1-P21 decreased. The apoptosis of 16HBE cells decreased as the time of the PEGFP-N1-P21 transfection increased, but the apoptosis of 16HBE cells increased without the PEGFP-N1-P21 transfection. The stimulation by TGF-β1 led to the expression of the cytoplasmic and nucleic P21 proteins, but mainly the cytoplasmic P21 protein expression, as the stimulation concentration of TGF-β1 increased, the cytoplasmic P21 expression decreased, but the nucleic P21 did not change. The apoptosis of 16HBE cells increased as the cytoplasmic P21 expression decreased after the concentration of TGF-β1 stimulation increased. CONCLUSIONS: The apoptosis of 16HBE cell was inhibited by the high cytoplasmic P21 expression through the transfection of PEGFP-N1-P21. TGF-β1 stimulation promoted the apoptosis of 16HBE cell by inhibiting the cytoplasmic P21 expression. The cytoplasmic P21 expression depresses the apoptosis of 16HBE cells.
