Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of Yiqi Tongyang Granule in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenia mice and the underlying mechanism.Methods BALB/c mice were treated with anti-mouse platelet serum from guinea pig to establish an immune thrombocytopenia mouse model. Model mice were randomly devided into the model group, the prednisone group, the Yiqi Tongyang Granule group, and the Jinshuye group; 10 unmodeled mice as the control group. The mice were treated with Yiqi Tongyang Granule(17.4 g/kg), prednisone(9.1 mg/kg), and Jinshuye Styptic Mixture(3.9 mL/kg) by gavage for 11 days, and the platelets(PLT), white blood cells(WBC), and hemoglobin(Hb) counts in the mice were measured. Bone marrow megakaryocyte counts were compared by bone marrow smears and bone marrow pathology, and the proportions of different types of megakaryocytes in bone marrow were analyzed. The organ coefficients and pathological changes of the spleen and thymus were observed in mice. Lymphocyte subsets were detected using a flow cytometer.Results Compared with the control group, the number of PLT in immune thrombocytopenia mice was reduced(P<0.05), and after treatment with Yiqi Tongyang Granule, prednisone, and Jinshuye Styptic Mixture, the number of PLT was increased(P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the number of bone marrow megakaryocytes was increased and the proportion of PLT-producing megakaryocytes was decreased in immune thrombocytopenia mice(P<0.05). The number of megakaryocytes was decreased after treatment with Yiqi Tongyang Granule(P<0.05), the ratio of primitive and naive megakaryocytes was decreased, and the proportion of PLT-producing megakaryocytes was increased in the immune thrombocytopenia mice(P<0.05). The spleen was observed to be enlarged in the immune thrombocytopenia mice based on the spleen organ coefficient and pathology, and extramedullary hematopoiesis was found to be common in the spleens of immune thrombocytopenia mice. Thymus atrophy was very obvious in immune thrombocytopenia mice treated with prednisone based on the thymus organ coefficient and pathology. The percentages of Tc, Th, and Treg cells of immune thrombocytopenia mice were reduced, and these percentages were increased after treatment with Yiqi Tongyang granules(P<0.05).Conclusion Yiqi Tongyang Granule could regulate the immune state of immune thrombocytopenia mice by regulating the lymphocyte subpopulations and increase the PLT levels in peripheral blood by affecting the number of bone marrow PLT-producing megakaryocytes. The therapeutic effect of Yiqi Tongyang Granule was similar to that of prednisone and clearly superior to that of Jinshuye Styptic Mixture.
Objective To explore the potential molecular target and mechanism of Qinghuang Powder in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS).Methods Fifteen MDS patients were enrolled in this study.Bone marrow samples were extracted before treatment and 6 months after treatment with Qinghuang Powder, and RNA-seq was performed to detect the differentially expressed genes(DEGs)in bone marrow mononuclear cells before and after treatment.Gene ontology(GO)annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment were performed for the DEGs.Cytoscape 3.9.1 was employed to build the protein-protein interaction(PPI)network of DEGs.Furthermore, the MDS cell line MUTZ-1 was treated with arsenic sulfide, the main effective component of Qinghuang Powder, and then real-time quantitative PCR was employed to verify the RNA-seq results.Results A total of 2 841 DEGs were identified by RNA-seq in bone marrow nucleated cells of MDS patients treated with Qinghuang Powder for 6 months, including 1 892 up-regulated genes and 949 down-regulated genes.GO annotation showed that these DEGs were mainly involved in histone modification highly associated with MDS.KEGG pathway enrichment indicated that Qinghuang Powder treated MDS via the hypoxia-inducible factor-1(HIF-1),tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α),and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)signaling pathways.According to GO annotation results, the DEGs associated with histone modification were used to construct the PPI network, from which the core genes were screened out.The MDS cells treated with arsenic sulfide showed significantly up-regulated expression of E1A binding protein p300(EP300),histone deacetylase 7(HDAC7),and SET domain-containing protein 2(SETD2)and down-regulated expression of HDAC6,which was consistent with the sequencing results.Conclusion Histone modification is an important step of Qinghuang Powder in the epigenetic regulation of MDS patients.EP300,HDAC6,HDAC7,and SETD2 may be the key targets of Qinghuang Powder in the treatment of MDS.
