    查看更多>>摘要:In recent years,preclinical research on diabetic kidney disease(DKD)has surged to the forefront of sci-entific and clinical attention.DKD has become a pervasive complication of type 2 diabetes.Given the complexity of its etiology and pathological mechanisms,current interventions,including drugs,dietary modifications,exercise,hypoglycemic treatments and lipid-lowering methods,often fall short in achiev-ing desired therapeutic outcomes.Iridoids,primarily derived from the potent components of traditional herbs,have been the subject of long-standing research.Preclinical data suggest that iridoids possess notable renal protective properties;however,there has been no summary of the research on their efficacy in the management and treatment of DKD.This article consolidates findings from in vivo and in vitro research on iridoids in the context of DKD and highlights their shared anti-inflammatory activities in treating this condition.Additionally,it explores how certain iridoid components modify their chemical structures through the regulation of intestinal flora,potentially bolstering their therapeutic effects.This review provides a focused examination of the mechanisms through which iridoids may prevent or treat DKD,offering valuable insights for future research endeavors.

    查看更多>>摘要:Background:Previously published meta-epidemiological studies focused on Western medicine have identified some trial characteristics that impact the treatment effect of randomized controlled trials(RCTs).Nevertheless,it remains unclear if similar associations exist in RCTs on Chinese herbal medicine(CHM).Further,Chinese medicine-related characteristics have not been explored yet.Objective:To investigate trial characteristics related to treatment effect estimates on CHM RCTs.Search strategy:This meta-epidemiological study searched 5 databases for systematic reviews on CHM treatment published between January 2011 and July 2021.Inclusion criteria:An eligible systematic review should only include RCTs of CHM and conduct at least one meta-analysis.Data extraction and analysis:Two reviewers independently conducted data extraction on general character-istics of systematic reviews,meta-analyses and included RCTs.They also assessed the risk of bias of RCTs using the Cochrane risk of bias tool.A two-step approach was used for data analyses.The ratio of odds ratios(ROR)and difference in standardized mean differences(dSMD)with 95% confidence interval(CI)were applied to present the difference in effect estimates for binary and continuous outcomes,respectively.Results:Ninety-one systematic reviews,comprising 1338 RCTs were identified.For binary outcomes,RCTs incorporated with syndrome differentiation(ROR:1.23;95% CI:[1.07,1.39]),adopting Chinese medicine formula(ROR:1.19;95% CI:[1.03,1.34]),with low risk of bias on incomplete outcome data(ROR:1.29;95% CI:[1.06,1.52])and selective outcome reporting(ROR:1.12;95% CI:[1.01,1.24]),as well as a trial size ≥100(ROR:1.23;95% CI:[1.04,1.42])preferred to show larger effect estimates.As for continuous out-comes,RCTs with Chinese medicine diagnostic criteria(dSMD:0.23;95% CI:[0.06,0.41]),judged as high/un-clear risk of bias on allocation concealment(dSMD:-0.70;95% CI:[-0.99,-0.42]),with low risk of bias on incomplete outcome data(dSMD:0.30;95% CI:[0.18,0.43]),conducted at a single center(dSMD:-0.33;95% CI:[-0.61,-0.05]),not using intention-to-treat analysis(dSMD:-0.75;95% CI:[-1.43,-0.07]),and without funding support(dSMD:-0.22;95% CI:[-0.41,-0.02])tended to show larger effect estimates.Conclusion:This study provides empirical evidence for the development of a specific critical appraisal tool for risk of bias assessments on CHM RCTs.

    查看更多>>摘要:Objective:Research has shown that celastrol can effectively treat a variety of diseases,yet when passing a certain dosage threshold,celastrol becomes toxic,causing complications such as liver and kidney damage and erythrocytopenia,among others.With this dichotomy in mind,it is extremely important to find ways to preserve celastrol's efficacy while reducing or preventing its toxicity.Methods:In this study,insulin-resistant HepG2(IR-HepG2)cells were prepared using palmitic acid and used for in vitro experiments.IR-HepG2 cells were treated with celastrol alone or in combination with N-acetylcysteine(NAC)or ferrostatin-1(Fer-1)for 12,24 or 48 h,at a range of doses.Cell counting kit-8 assay,Western blotting,quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction,glucose consump-tion assessment,and flow cytometry were performed to measure celastrol's cytotoxicity and whether the cell death was linked to ferroptosis.Results:Celastrol treatment increased lipid oxidation and decreased expression of anti-ferroptosis pro-teins in IR-HepG2 cells.Celastrol downregulated glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)mRNA.Molecular docking models predicted that solute carrier family 7 member 11(SLC7A11)and GPX4 were covalently bound by celastrol.Importantly,we found for the first time that the application of ferroptosis inhibitors(especially NAC)was able to reduce celastrol's toxicity while preserving its ability to improve insulin sen-sitivity in IR-HepG2 cells.Conclusion:One potential mechanism of celastrol's cytotoxicity is the induction of ferroptosis,which can be alleviated by treatment with ferroptosis inhibitors.These findings provide a new strategy to block celastrol's toxicity while preserving its therapeutic effects.

    查看更多>>摘要:Objective:The effects of arsenic trioxide(As2O3)on hepatocellular carcinoma have been documented widely.Autophagy plays dual roles in the survival and death of cancer cells.Therefore,we investigated the exact role of autophagy in As2O3-induced apoptosis in liver cancer cells.Methods:The viability of hepatoma cells was determined using the MTT assay with or without fetal bovine serum.The rate of apoptosis in liver cancer cells treated with As2O3 was evaluated using flow cytometry,Hoechst 33258 staining,and TUNEL assays.The rate of autophagy among liver cancer cells treated with As2O3 was detected using immunofluorescence,Western blot assay and transmission elec-tron microscopy.Results:Upon treatment with As2O3,the viability of HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells was decreased in a time-and dose-dependent manner.The apoptosis rates of both liver cancer cell lines increased with the concentration of As2O3,as shown by flow cytometry.Apoptosis in liver cancer cells treated with As2O3 was also shown by the activation of the caspase cascade and the regulation of Bcl-2/Bax expression.Furthermore,As2O3 treatment induced autophagy in liver cancer cells;this finding was supported by Western blot,immunofluorescence of LC3-Ⅱ and beclin 1,and transmission electron microscopy.In liver cancer cells,As2O3 inhibited the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapa-mycin(PI3K/AKT/mTOR)signal pathway that plays a vital role in both apoptosis and autophagy.The PI3K activator SC-79 partially reversed As2O3-induced autophagy and apoptosis.Furthermore,inhibiting autophagy with 3-methyladenine partially reversed the negative effects of As2O3 on cell viability.Serum starvation increased autophagy and amplified the effect of As2O3 on cell death.Conclusion:As2O3 induces apoptosis and autophagy in liver cancer cells.Autophagy induced by As2O3 may have a proapoptotic effect that helps to reduce the viability of liver cancer cells.This study provides novel insights into the effects of As2O3 against liver cancer.
