Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the major immunosuppressive components infiltrating the tumor microenvironment (TME). Targeting TAMs has emerged as a promising strategy to remodel immunosuppressive TME and enhance T-cell mediated anti-tumor immunity for cancer therapy. In this study, we investigate the effect and mechanism of total tannin fraction of Terminalia bellirica (Gaertn.) Roxb. (TB-TF) against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using established Hepa1–6 orthotopic mouse model and murine bone marrow derived macrophage polarization model. Here we showed that TB-TF significantly inhibited orthotopic tumor growth and promoted the polarization of M2-TAMs toward the anti-tumor M1 phenotype in vivo. Further studies showed that TB-TF reversed tumor-conditioned medium induced M2 polarization of macrophages as indicated by increased expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and iNOS, and decreased expression of Arg-1, thereby re-educating macrophages co-cultured with tumor-conditioned medium into M1 phenotype. In addition, we found that TB-TF also promoted T cell infiltration mediated by chemokines such as CCL5 and CXCL10, and restored the cytotoxic function of CD8+T cells as evidenced by upregulated expression of Granzyme B, Perforin, and IFN-γ. Our data suggest TB-TF as a promising anti-cancer agent, mediates its anti-tumor effects via remodeling the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment, indicating its potential in the immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Inflammatory responses are associated wieh the pathophysiology of depression. Ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1) exerts antidepressant effect, but the relationship between its activity and inflammation remains unclear. Aim of the study: In this study, the antidepressant-like effect and underlying mechanisms of Rb1 were been investigated. Materials and methods: The neuroinflammatory mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute depression-like behavior was employed to detect the action of Rb1. An integrative strategy combining the identification of prototype (Rb1) and its metabolites in vivo with network pharmacology analysis was used to explore therapeutic mechanisms of these ingredients. The putative targets and signalings were experimentally validated. The antidepressant-like effect of F2, the metabolite of Rb1, was firstly evaluated. Results: Rb1 significantly ameliorated LPS-induced depressive-like behavior. Rb1 and its metabolites (Rd, F2, compound K, Rh2, Rg3, PPD) were identified and then a disease-component-target network was established. Experimental validation showed that Rb1 inhibited peripheral and hippocampal inflammation via MAPK/NF-Kappa B signaling. In inflammatory-mediated depression state, Rb1 improved impaired glucocorticoid receptor, suppressed indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase activity, increased 5-HT level and 5-HT1A receptor expression. Additionally, F2 was firstly discovered to exert antidepressant-like effect, and it existed higher activity than Rb1 against depression. Conclusion: The study highlighted the potential of Rb1 and F2 as healthy supplement or agent for inflammationinduced depression.

Phyllanthus emblica L. is widely used in traditional Tibetan medicine for its therapeutic effects on treating liver, kidney, and bladder problems. We have reported that the tannin fraction has a good anti-hepatocellular carcinoma effect, but its active ingredients are not clear. This study was to find the active ingredients of the tannin fraction using UPLC-MSn and network pharmacology. First of all, the UPLC-MSn method was employed to obtain high-resolution mass spectra of different components, and 110 compounds were obtained. Then a network pharmacology method was used to find biomarkers for quality control. Network pharmacology results showed that gallic acid, punicalagin A, punicalagin B, methyl gallate, geraniin, corilagin, chebulinic acid, chebulagic acid, and ellagic acid should be the biomarkers of the tannin fraction. Furthermore, 9 components were detected in the serum, which also proved that they could be biomarkers, because we generally believe that the ingredients which are absorbed into the blood are effective. In the end, a simple method for simultaneously determining the contents of the 9 compounds was constructed by HPLC-DAD. This research established a new method to find biomarkers of traditional Chinese medicine. This is of great significance to improving the quality standards of Tibetan medicine.

Ginseng, the root and rhizome of Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., is a famous herbal medicine, and its major ginsenosides exert beneficial effects on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Due to the multicomponent and multitarget features of ginsenosides, their detailed mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the role of ginsenosides on NAFLD and the potential mechanisms mediated by the gut microbiota and related molecular processes. C57BL/6J mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) supplemented or not supplemented with ginsenoside extract (GE) for 12 weeks. A strategy that integrates bacterial gene sequencing, serum pharmacochemistry and network pharmacology was applied. The results showed that GE significantly alleviated HFD-induced NAFLD symptoms in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, GE treatment modulated the HFD-induced imbalance in the gut microbiota and alleviated dysbiosis-mediated gut leakage and metabolic endotoxemia. Additionally, 20 components were identified in the mouse plasma after the oral administration of GE, and they interacted with 82 NAFLD-related targets. A network analysis revealed that anti-inflammatory effects and regulation of the metabolic balance might be responsible for the effects of GE on NAFLD. A validation experiment was then conducted, and the results suggested that GE suppressed NF-κB/IκB signaling activation and decreased the release and mRNA levels of proinflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6). Additionally, GE promoted hepatic lipolytic genes (CPT-1a), inhibited lipogenic genes (SREBP-1c, FAS, ACC-1) and improved leptin resistance. These findings imply that the benefits of GE are involved in modulating the gut microbiota, enhancing the gut barrier function, restoring the energy balance, and alleviating metabolic inflammation. Moreover, GE might serve as a potential agent for the prevention of NAFLD through the integration of prebiotic, anti-inflammatory and energy-regulatory effects.
The fruits of Terminalia bellirica (Gaertn.) Roxb. (TB) are used as a multi-use therapeutic herbal product in the Tibetan medicinal system and are prescribed as a general health tonic in the traditional Ayurvedic medicinal system. It has been demonstrated that these fruits have a variety of pharmacological activities, including anti-tumor, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective and immunoregulatory effects, etc. However, the therapeutic effects of tannins in TB on HCC and the underlying mechanisms remain uncharacterized. In the current study, we aimed to identify the anti-tumor effect of tannins in TB by employing a H22 xenograft mouse model and by performing cell-based in vitro studies with the assistance of the network pharmacology analysis. The crude extract of TB was purified to yield total tannin fraction (TB-TF), and our results found that TB-TF significantly inhibited the tumor growth of H22 xenografts in mice by inducing apoptosis and reducing angiogenesis. A total of 90 compounds were then identified in TB-TF by UPLC-MS/MS, and 27 were found in serum after oral administration of TB-TF in mice. The network pharmacology analysis based on these absorbed components was performed and, along with experimental evidence, it revealed that the ERBB, PI3K-Akt, and MAPK signaling pathways may be involved in the anti-tumor effect of TB-TF on HCC. Furthermore, we suggested that TB-TF effectively modulated the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in H22 xenograft mice. In summary, our study demonstrated that TB-TF could be developed as a functional food, which is not only a promising anti-cancer reagent but also a potential candidate with bright prospects for the emerging trends of immunotherapy for HCC.
