    查看更多>>摘要:OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of Ganoderma Lucidum Spore Oil(GLSO)on the tumor growth and survival of H22 tumor-bearing mice treated with cyclophosphamide(CTX),and explore the underlying mechanism.METHODS:Allograft H22 hepatocellular carcinoma mouse model was applied to investigate the effect of GLSO on the tumor growth and survival of animals,and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to analyze the life span.Plasma biochemical examination was used to determine the levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),urea(UREA)and creatinine(CRE).Western blot analysis was performed to detect Programmed Death-1(PD-1),Programmed Death Ligand 1(PD-L1),Janus Kinase 2(JAK2),phosphorylated Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3(p-STAT3),and Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3(STAT3)expression.RESULTS:GLSO increased the anti-tumor effect of CTX and prolonged the survival of H22 tumor-bearing mice treated with CTX.Meanwhile,GLSO increased the thymus index and showed no obvious toxicity to liver functions of animals.GLSO also decreased the level of UREA in H22 tumor-bearing mice treated with CTX.Furthermore,GLSO could inhibit the expression of PD-1 in spleen,which was independent of JAK2 expression and STAT3 phosphorylation.However,GLSO did not affect the expression of PD-L1,JAK2,and p-STAT3 in tumor tissue.CONCLUSION:GLSO could strengthen the anti-tumor effect of CTX and prolong the life span of H22 tumor-bearing mice,while the underlying mechanism might be relevant to the amelioration effect of thymus function and inhibition of PD-1 expression in spleen.Furthermore,these findings implied the promising role of GLSO in combination with CTX to extend the survival of patients in clinical chemotherapy of hepatocellular carcinoma.

    查看更多>>摘要:OBJECTIVE:To investigate the mechanisms behind the effects of acupuncture in Traditional Chinese Medicine,we delved into the adenosine triphosphate/peripheral purinergic P2X receptor 3(ATP/P2X3)receptor signaling system as an indicator of the body's energy state,commonly referred to as"Qi'.METHODS:The tail-flick test was utilized to explore the impact of acupuncture on pain tolerance threshold(PTT)in mice,while also assessing adenosine(ADO)levels and adenylate energy charge(EC)at Zusanli(ST36).The study further investigated the dose-dependent effects of acupuncture on PTT and ADO levels at Zusanli(ST36).To shed light on the underlying mechanisms of acupuncture's effects,the study examined the impact of ATP,a P2X3 receptor antagonist,and adenosine disodium on PTT following acupuncture administration.RESULTS:Acupuncture at Zusanli(ST36)led to significant improvements in PTT in mice,with the most effective interventions being twirling for 2 min and needle retention for 28 min.These interventions also resulted in significant increases in ATP levels.The effects of acupuncture were further augmented by administration of different doses of ATP at Zusanli(ST36),and pretreatment with a P2X3 receptor antagonist decreased PTT.Adenylate EC peaked at 30 min after intraperitoneal injection of ATP,and pretreatment with various doses of i.p.ATP 30 min prior to acupuncture increased PTT in a dose-dependent manner.Additionally,pretreatment with an i.p.or intramuscular injection of adenosine disodium enhanced the effects of acupuncture.CONCLUSION:This research provides compelling evidence that ATP is involved in the regulation of PTT through acupuncture,revealing new avenues for achieving enhanced clinical outcomes.

    查看更多>>摘要:OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of luteolin on chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)-induced depressive rats and corticosterone(CORT)-induced depressive primary hippocampal neurons,and to elucidate the mechanism behind the action.METHODS:The antidepressant mechanism of luteolin was studied by using CUMS rat model and primary hippocampal neurons in fetal rats.In vivo,novelty suppressed feeding,open-field and sucrose preference tests as well as Morris water maze were evaluated.The content of brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),norepinephrine(NE),and dopamine(DA)in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The mechanisms of luteolin were explored based on neurotrophin and hippocampal neurogenesis,and proliferation.Survival of the septo-temporal axis in hippocampus was assayed using the 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine(BrdU),the expression of BDNF,neurotrophin-3(NT-3),and nerve growth factor(NGF)in hippocampus dentate gyrus region were measured by Western-blotting.In vitro,BDNF,NT-3,tropomyosin receptor kinase B(TrkB),and phosphorylated cyclic adenosine monophosphate responsive element binding protein(p-CREB)were detected through the high content analysis(HCA)to investigate neurotrophin and apoptosis.RESULTS:Induction of CUMS in rats induced depressive symptoms,while luteolin significantly enhanced sucrose consumption,decreased feeding latency,increased locomotor activity,escape latency,distance of target quadrant and regulated the content of depressive-like biomarkers.Histology analysis revealed that luteolin increased the abundance of new born neurons that had been labeled with BrdU,BrdU+neuronal nuclear antigen,and BrdU+doublecortin in septo-temporal axis of S2(mid-septal)and T3(mid-temporal).Moreover,expression of BDNF,NT-3,and NGF increased significantly in the septo-temporal axis of S2 and T3.HCA showed increased expression of BDNF,NT-3,TrkB and p-CREB in primary hippocampal neurons.CONCLUSION:The results provided direct evidence that luteolin has an antidepressant effect and could effectively promote the regeneration of the septotemporal axis nerve and hippocampal neuronutrition,which suggested that the antidepressant effect of luteolin may be related to hippocampal neurogenesis.

    查看更多>>摘要:OBJECTIVE:To determine the therapeutic effects of the Zhuangyao Jianshen pill(壮腰健肾丸,ZYJSP)against benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)and investigate the underlying mechanism.METHODS:Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups:Control group,BPH model group,finasteride-treated group,ZYJSP low,medium and high dose groups.Except for the control group,40 rats were castrated and injected with testosterone propionate(TP)for 28 consecutive day to induce BPH.Meanwhile,the corresponding drugs were administered by gavage.The prostate wet weight,prostate index(PI),and the histopathological changes in the prostate were measured as the basis for examining the efficacy of ZYJSP against BPH.Levels of the serum sex hormones,oxidative stress markers,inflammatory markers,renal function markers,growth factors,and Cyclin D1 expression in prostate were measured to characterize the therapeutic mechanism of ZYJSP against BPH.RESULTS:ZYJSP administration significantly reduced prostate wet weight and PI and ameliorated histological changes of the prostate in TP-treated castrated rats.TP markedly increased the levels of creatinine,blood urea nitrogen and growth factors in the serum as well as the expression of the Cyclin D1 in the prostate.Most of these markers were significantly decreased by ZYJSP.ZYJSP significantly restored the dysregulation of testosterone,estradiol,and dihydrotestosterone caused by TP.Furthermore,ZYJSP relieved TP-induced prostate injury and exhibited both anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activity by decreasing interleukin-6,interleukin-8,and malondialdehyde levels and increasing the activity of superoxide dismutase in the serum.CONCLUSION:These findings indicate that ZYJSP can effectively ameliorate BPH induced by TP in castrated rats,and the underlying mechanism might be related to regulating sex hormone balance,reducing oxidative stress,and inhibiting the inflammatory response.
