RESUMEN

Angelicae Sinensis Radix, as a medicinal and edible Chinese medicinal herb, is widely used in clinical practice. It is mainly cultivated in Minxian, Tanchang, Zhangxian and Weiyuan counties of Gansu province. In recent years, with the comprehensive and in-depth study of Angelicae Sinensis Radix in China and abroad, its chemical composition, pharmacological effects and application and development have attracted much attention. In this study, the chemical composition, traditional efficacy, and modern pharmacological effects of Angelicae Sinensis Radix were summarized. On this basis, combined with the core concept of quality markers(Q-markers), the Q-markers of Angelicae Sinensis Radix were discussed from the aspects of mass transfer and traceability and chemical composition specificity, availability, and measurability, which provided scientific basis for the quality evaluation of Angelicae Sinensis Radix.

RESUMEN

Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia in adults. Despite great progress has been made in this field, the pathogenesis of AML is still not fully understood. We report here the biological role of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 5 (SNHG5) in the pathogenesis of AML and the underlying mechanisms. The results showed that lncRNA SNHG5 was highly expressed in AML cancer cell lines. In vitro studies displayed that inhibition of SNHG5 with shRNA resulted in suppression of survival, cell cycle progression, migration/invasion of AML and capacity of adhesion and angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Mechanistic studies revealed a SNHG5/miR-26b/connective tissue growth factor (CTGF)/vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) axis in the regulation of AML angiogenesis. Finally, Yin Yang 1 (YY1) was found to transactivate and interact with SNHG5 promoter, leading to the upregulation of SNHG5 in AML. Collectively, upregulation of lncRNA SNHG5 mediated by YY1, activates CTGF/VEGFA via targeting miR-26b to regulate angiogenesis of AML. Our work provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms of AML.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has been found to play a major role in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) by promoting hyperlipidemia. Its inhibition has therefore emerged as a viable drug target for improving the outcome of ASCVD. However, current monoclonal antibody PCSK9 inhibitors are considered cost ineffective and there is the need to discover new effective and cheaper small molecule alternatives. PURPOSE: The methanolic and ethanolic crude extracts of Nauclea latifolia have been shown to possess anti-hyperlipidemic activity, but the chemical component(s) responsible for this activity and the mechanism of action have remained unknown. The objective of this study was therefore to identify N. latifolia constituents with anti-hyperlipidemic activity and to investigate the inhibition of PCSK9 as a probable mechanism of action. METHOD: In the present study, compounds were isolated from the ethanolic extract of the stem of N. latifolia. The alkaloids were evaluated for their DiI-LDL uptake promoting activity in HepG2 cell. The most active compound was further assessed for its effect on low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) and PCSK9 protein expressions by western blot. RESULTS: 3R-3,14-dihydroangustoline (5), showed a relatively good activity in promoting LDL uptake (1.26-fold). It further increased LDLR protein expression and decreased the protein expression of PCSK9 in a dose dependent manner (1-50  µM). CONCLUSION: Alkaloids from N. latifolia may serve as a source of new PCSK9 inhibitors.

RESUMEN

Magnesium lithospermate B (MLB) is an active component of Salvia miltiorrhiza Radix, a traditional Chinese herb used in treating cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of MLB against inflammation-induced endothelial dysfunction in vitro and in vivo, and the underlying mechanisms. Endothelial dysfunction was induced in human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) in vitro by lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 µg/mL). We showed that pretreatment with MLB (10-100 µM) dose-dependently inhibited LPS-induced upregulation of inflammatory cytokines ICAM1, VCAM1, and TNFα, which contributed to reduced leukocytes adhesion and attenuation of endothelial hyperpermeability in HMEC-1 cells. SD rats were injected with LPS (10 mg/kg, ip) to induce endothelial dysfunction in vivo. We showed that pretreatment with MLB (25-100 mg/kg, ip) dose-dependently restored LPS-impaired endothelial-dependent vasodilation in superior mesenteric artery (SMA), attenuated leukocyte adhesion in mesenteric venules and decreased vascular leakage in the lungs. We further elucidated the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of MLB, and revealed that MLB pretreatment inhibited NF-κB activation through inhibition of IκBα degradation and subsequent phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 in vitro and in vivo. In HMEC-1 cells, MLB pretreatment activated the nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway. Knockdown of Nrf2 with siRNA abolished the inhibitory effects of MLB on IκBα degradation and ICAM1 up-regulation, which were mimicked by PKC inhibition (Gö6983) or PI3K/Akt inhibition (LY294002). In summary, our results demonstrate that MLB inhibits NF-κB activation through PKC- and PI3K/Akt-mediated Nrf2 activation in HMEC-1 cells and protects against LPS-induced endothelial dysfunction in murine model of acute inflammation.

RESUMEN

The phytochemical study of Euphorbia helioscopia led to the isolation of 33 jatrophane diterpenoids (1-33), of which six (1-6) were new. This small jatrophane library was established to screen for potential lipid modulators. LDL-Uptake screening assay demonstrated that most of them improved LDL-Uptake rate in HepG2 cells, with compounds 16, 21 and 26 exhibiting more outstanding effects. Further exploration found that these three compounds could increase LDLR protein level in HepG2 cells dose-dependently. SAR studies suggested that substituted patterns of C-9, steric hindrance between C-14 and C-15, and the long conjugated fragment from C-5 to the carbonyl (C-9) were essential for the activity. Moreover, compound 21, a relatively abundant chemical in E. helioscopia, showed remarkable lipid-lowering effect in vivo, which makes it a promising lead for development of new lipid-lowering agents.

RESUMEN

To investigate the genetic basis of variation in oil and protein contents in soybean seeds, a diverse collection of 421 mainly Chinese soybean cultivars was genotyped using 1536 SNPs, mostly from candidate genes related to acyl-lipid metabolism and from regions harboring known QTL. Six significant associations were identified for each of seed oil and protein contents which individually explained 2.7-5.9% of the phenotypic variance. Six associations occurred in or near known QTL and the remaining are putative novel QTL. Ten significant associations influenced the oil content without decreasing protein content, and vice versa. One SNP was pleiotropic, with opposite effects on oil and protein contents. The genetic region covering Map-6076 and-6077 was shown to be involved in controlling oil content in soybean by integrating the results of association mapping with information on known QTL and tissue-specific expression data. This region was subject to strong selection during the genetic improvement of soybean. Our results not only confirm and refine the map positions of known QTL but also contribute to a further elucidation of the genetic architecture of protein and oil contents in soybean seeds by identifying new associations exhibiting pleiotropic effects on seed protein and oil contents.

RESUMEN

In 1926, Smuts put forward the concept of "holistic". Then, this concept was introduced into the field of nursing. The presentation of system theory, levels and models of people's needs, theory of solving-problem provided the theoretical base for "holistic nursing". Beginning from the definition of health provided by WHO in 1948, many scholars put forward a set of nursing concepts, such as nursing process, theory of goal attainment, holistic human body, etc. In these concepts, the concept of holistic nursing was improved gradually, and finally formed the thought and method which were focused on patients, guided by concept of modern nursing, based on the nursing process, and it applied the systematic nursing process into the clinical nursing and its administration. At present, holistic nursing has been applied widely in the world. Reviewing its history will benefit the understanding of its connotation, and its application in the clinic for further improvement.
