Research progress on pharmacological effects of astragalus active ingredients in treatment of respiratory tract infection
Astragalus active ingredients have antimicrobial activity,inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria,and enhance the antiviral activity of vaccines to prevent and control respiratory tract infection.By down-regulating Toll-like receptors(TLR)4/mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)/nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB)and TLR4/7/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathways,Astragalus active ingredients inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation,stimulate M2 macrophage polarization,inhibit TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway,enhance autophagy and reduce inflammatory response,so as to reduce inflammatory damage caused by respiratory infection.Astragalus active ingredients regulate the secretion of oxidative stress products,regulate the signaling pathway TLR3,HO-1/Nrf2,and reduce the oxidative stress response,so as to reduce the oxidative stress damage caused by lung infection.Astragalus active ingredients regulate T lymphocyte and the balance of Th17/Treg,enhance immune response to vaccines,regulate immune function,and enhance resistance to pathogens.By regulating the expression of apoptosis-related proteins,the active ingredients of Astragalus membranaceus regulate SIRT1/AMPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,alleviating cell apoptosis and playing a protective role in lung tissues.
