    查看更多>>摘要:The property theory of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has been practiced for thousands of years,playing a pivotal role in the clinical application of TCM.While advancements in energy metabolism,chemical composition analysis,machine learning,ion current modeling,and supercritical fluid technol-ogy have provided valuable insight into how aspects of TCM property theory may be measured,these studies only capture specific aspects of TCM property theory in isolation,overlooking the holistic per-spective inherent in TCM.To systematically investigate the modern interpretation of the TCM property theory from multidimensional perspectives,we consulted the Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2020 edition)to compile a list of Chinese materia medica(CMM).Then,using the Latin names of each CMM and gut microbiota as keywords,we searched the PubMed database for relevant research on gut microbiota and CMM.The regulatory patterns of different herbs on gut microbiota were then summarized from the perspectives of the four natures,the five flavors and the meridian tropism.In terms of the four nat-ures,we found that warm-natured medicines promoted the colonization of specific beneficial bacteria,while cold-natured medicines boosted populations of some beneficial bacteria while suppressing patho-genic bacteria.Analysis of the five flavors revealed that sweet-flavored and bitter-flavored CMMs posi-tively influenced beneficial bacteria while inhibiting harmful bacteria.CMMs with different meridian tropism exhibited complex modulative patterns on gut microbiota,with Jueyin(Liver)and Taiyin(Lung)meridian CMMs generally exerting a stronger effect.The gut microbiota may be a biological indi-cator for characterizing the TCM property theory,which not only enhances our understanding of classic TCM theory but also contributes to its scientific advancement and application in healthcare.

    查看更多>>摘要:The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal(HPA)axis is a critical component of the neuroendocrine system,playing a central role in regulating the body's stress response and modulating various physiological processes.Dysregulation of HPA axis function disrupts the neuroendocrine equilibrium,resulting in impaired physiological functions.Acupuncture is recognized as a non-pharmacological type of therapy which has been confirmed to play an important role in modulating the HPA axis and thus favorably targets diseases with abnormal activation of the HPA axis.With numerous studies reporting the promising efficacy of acupuncture for neuroendocrine disorders,a comprehensive review in terms of the underlying molecular mechanism for acupuncture,especially in regulating the HPA axis,is currently in need.This review fills the need and summarizes recent breakthroughs,from the basic principles and the pathological changes of HPA axis dysfunction,to the molecular mechanisms by which acupuncture regulates the HPA axis.These mechanisms include the modulation of multiple neurotransmitters and their receptors,neuropeptides and their receptors,and microRNAs in the paraventricular nucleus,hippocampus,amygdala and pituitary gland,which alleviate the hyperfunctioning of the HPA axis.This review comprehensively summarizes the mechanism of acupuncture in regulating HPA axis dysfunc-tion for the first time,providing new targets and prospects for further exploration of acupuncture.

    查看更多>>摘要:Objective:Studies have demonstrated that cycloastragenol induces antitumor effects in prostate,colorec-tal and gastric cancers;however,its efficacy for inhibiting the proliferation of lung cancer cells is largely unexplored.This study explores the efficacy of cycloastragenol for inhibiting non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)and elucidates the underlying molecular mechanisms.Methods:The effects of cycloastragenol on lung cancer cell proliferation were assessed using an adeno-sine triphosphate monitoring system based on firefly luciferase and clonogenic formation assays.Cycloastragenol-induced apoptosis in lung cancer cells was evaluated using dual staining flow cytometry with an annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide kit.To elucidate the role of cycloas-tragenol in the induction of apoptosis,apoptosis-related proteins were examined using Western blots.Immunofluorescence and Western blotting were used to determine whether cycloastragenol could induce autophagy in lung cancer cells.Genetic techniques,including small interfering RNA technology,were used to investigate the underlying mechanisms.The effects against lung cancer and biosafety of cycloastragenol were evaluated using a mouse subcutaneous tumor model.Results:Cycloastragenol triggered both autophagy and apoptosis.Specifically,cycloastragenol promoted apoptosis by facilitating the accumulation of phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate-induced protein 1(NOXA),a critical apoptosis-related protein.Moreover,cycloastragenol induced a protective autophagy response through modulation of the adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)/unc-51-like autophagy-activating kinase(ULK1)/mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)pathway.Conclusion:Our study sheds new light on the antitumor efficacy and mechanism of action of cycloas-tragenol in NSCLC.This insight provides a scientific basis for exploring combination therapies that use cycloastragenol and inhibiting the AMPK/ULK1/mTOR pathway as a promising approach to combating lung cancer.
