RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a frequent and complicated endocrine disease that remains a major reason for infertility. Bushenhuoluo Decotion (BSHLD) has been validated to exhibit curative effects on PCOS. This study was aimed to explore the potential mechanism underlying the therapeutic action of BSHLD. METHODS: PCOS rat model was induced by dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Serum hormone and cytokines levels and ovarian pathological alterations were measured to assess ovarian function. Exosomes (Exos) were identified by Transmission electron microscopy and Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis. RT-qPCR, Western blotting, immunohistochemical staining, and immunofluorescence staining were performed to detect molecule expressions. Proliferation and pyroptosis of granulosa cells (GCs) were evaluated by CCK-8 and flow cytometry, respectively. The binding relationship between miR-30a-5p and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) was verified by dual luciferase reporter and RIP assays. RESULTS: BSHLD treatment improved serum hormone abnormality, insulin sensitivity, and ovarian morphologic changes of PCOS rats. Moreover, BSHLD treatment restrained the excessive autophagy and pyroptosis in ovarian tissues of PCOS rats. Moreover, BSHLD reduced the expression of miR-30a-5p in serum, serum-derived Exos, and ovarian tissues, thus inhibiting autophagy and NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis in GCs. Mechanistically, SOCS3 was proved as a target of miR-30a-5p and could activate mTOR/P70S6K pathway to repress autophagy. The inhibitory effect of miR-30a-5p deficiency on autophagy and pyroptosis of GCs was attenuated by rapamycin. CONCLUSION: Collectively, BSHLD suppressed autophagy and pyroptosis to improve POCS by regulating exosomal miR-30a-5p/SOCS3/mTOR signaling.

RESUMEN

Neuropathic pain(NP) has similar phenotypes but different sequential neuroinflammatory mechanisms in the pathological process. It is of great significance to inhibit the initiation of neuroinflammation, which has become a new direction of NP treatment and drug development in recent years. Mongolian drug Naru-3 is clinically effective in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, sciatica, and other NPs in a short time, but its pharmacodynamic characteristics and mechanism of analgesia are still unclear. In this study, a spinal nerve ligation(SNL) model simulating clinical peripheral nerve injury was established and the efficacy and mechanism of Naru-3 in the treatment of NPs was discussed by means of behavioral detection, side effect evaluation, network analysis, and experimental verification. Pharmacodynamic results showed that Naru-3 increased the basic pain sensitivity threshold(mechanical hyperalgesia and thermal radiation hyperalgesia) in the initiation of SNL in animals and relieved spontaneous pain, however, there was no significant effect on the basic pain sensitivity threshold and motor coordination function of normal animals under physiological and pathological conditions. Meanwhile, the results of primary screening of target tissues showed that Naru-3 inhibited the second phase of injury-induced nociceptive response of formalin test in mice and reduced the expression of inflammatory factors in the spinal cord. Network analysis discovered that Naru-3 had synergy in the treatment of NP, and its mechanism was associated with core targets such as matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP9) and interleukin-1ß(IL-1ß). The experiment further took the dorsal root ganglion(DRG) and the stage of patho-logical spinal cord as the research objects, focusing on the core targets of inducing microglial neuroinflammation. By means of Western blot, immunofluorescence, agonists, antagonists, behavior, etc., the mechanism of Naru-3 in exerting NP analgesia may be related to the negative regulation of the MMP9/IL-1ß signaling pathway-mediated microglia p38/IL-1ß inflammatory loop in the activation phase. The relevant research enriches the biological connotation of Naru-3 in the treatment of NP and provides references for clinical rational drug use.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious maternal inflammatory disease with endothelial cell dysfunction, and there is a lack of effective treatment and prevention. Tadalafil is considered to be a promising drug for PE. This study aimed to determine whether and how tadalafil use during early pregnancy alleviates PE induced by N-nitro-l-arginine-methyl-ester (l-NAME), an antagonist of nitric oxide synthase, in rats. METHODS: Twenty-eight Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups on gestational day 0 (GD0): a pregnant control group, an l-NAME-treated PE group and two prophylactic low-dose and high-dose tadalafil groups. Blood pressure was measured on GD0, 5, 10, 15 and 20. Proteinuria was assessed on GD0 and 18. Femoral artery ultrasound was performed on GD19. Tissue sampling was performed on GD20. The perinatal outcomes, placenta and kidney tissue morphology, and endothelial and inflammatory markers were examined. RESULTS: Prophylactic administration of low and high doses of tadalafil improved l-NAME induced hypertension, proteinuria, maternal weight loss during pregnancy, fetal growth restriction and flow-mediated dilatation, balanced endothelial-relative factors, and alleviated inflammation activation in placenta and kidney tissue. What's more, in some results, the HT group performed better than the LT group. DISCUSSION: Our results indicate that prophylactic use of tadalafil in l-NAME-induced PE-like rat models alleviates PE symptoms, promotes fetal growth, protects endothelial function and reduces inflammation, suggesting that tadalafil may be a potential drug for the prevention of PE.

RESUMEN

An ultrasonication-assisted synthesis of alcohol-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) is described. Several DESs were synthesized simultaneously under the same conditions. The prepared DESs were used for the extraction of gingerols from ginger powder via ultrasonication-assisted extraction. Notably, some of the prepared DESs exhibited superior extraction performance than those in traditional organic solvents. The viscosity of the DESs, which was suggested to be typically lower than 100 mPa*s had a critical effect on extraction performance. However, the higher gingerol contents in the extracts did not translate to higher active antioxidant abilities. The extraction temperature was found to be a key determinant of the antioxidant capability of the extracted gingerols while the use of higher temperatures (>50 °C) induced degradation and loss of phenolic compounds during extraction. Response surface methodology was applied for determining the optimal extraction conditions to achieve maximum antioxidant capacity with suitable gingerol content. All compounds used for the preparation of the DESs in this study have been widely employed in cosmetic and pharmaceutical fields. Therefore, the extracts in these DES solutions can be considered for direct application development without further product isolation.

RESUMEN

Objective To preliminarily observe miRNA gene profiles in benefit serum of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated by TCM combined Western medicine (WM) , and to seek for molecular markers for its efficacy monitoring and prediction. Methods Recruited were 5 advanced NSCLC patients who received TCM combined WM treatment and obtained efficacy benefit ( as the treatment group) , 3 advanced NSCLC patients who received early treatment ( as the lung cancer group) , and 3 healthy subjects (as the control group). Serum samples were collected and total RNA was extracted using Trizol method. Using microRNA PCR ARRAY chip technology (product of Exiqon Company) , differentially miRNA expression profiling in serum between the lung cancer group and the control group, and between the treatment group and the lung cancer group were detected. Benefit miRNA expression profiling was ob- tained based on cluster analysis and comparative analysis. Results After tested by miRNA PCR ARRAY and managed by data analysis, a total of 42 miRNAs with more than 2 folds difference were screened in the lung cancer group and the control group, including 29 up-regulated and 12 down-regulated miRNAs. Be- sides, miR-10b-5p, miR-21-5p, miR-182-5p, miR-361-3p, and miR-382-5p were statistically different (P < 0. 05). A total of 45 miRNAs with more than 2 folds difference were screened in the treatment group and the lung cancer group, including 12 up-regulated and 33 down-regulated miRNAs. Fifteen miRNAs were statistically different including miR-137-3p, miR-182-5p, miR-376a-3p, miR-382-5p, miR-409-3p, miR-10a-5p, miR-21-5p, miR-29a-3p, miR-141-3p, miR-150-5p, miR-200c-3p, miR-342-3p, miR-365a-3p, miR-375, miR- 502-3p (P<0.05). Totally 22 miRNAs were screened in the treatment group with more than 2 folds differ- ence as compared with the lung cancer group and with less than or equivalent to 2 folds difference as com- pared with the control group, including 7 up-regulated and 15 down-regulated miRNAs, of which, miR-127- 3p, miR-182-5p, miR-382-5p, miR-409-3p, miR-10a-5p, miR-21-5p, miR-141-3p, miR-342-3p were statistically different (P <0. 05). Conclusion miRNAs including miR-21-5p, miR-182-5p, miR-382-5p are promising to become molecular markers for efficacy monitoring and prediction of advanced NSCLC treated by TCM combined WM, which provides reference for individualized treating advanced NSCLC.

RESUMEN

Selenium (Se) is required for thyroid hormone synthesis and metabolism. Se treatment reduces serum thyroidspecific antibody titers in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT), but the exact mechanism is not clear. We investigated the effects of Se treatment on CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Treg) in a iodine-induced autoimmune thyroiditis model. NOD.H-2(h4) mice were randomly divided into control, AIT untreated, and AIT with Se treatment groups. Mice were fed with 0.005% sodium iodine (NaI) water for 8 weeks to induce AIT. Se-treated mice received 0.3 mg/L sodium selenite in drinking water. The AIT mice had fewer Treg cells and reduced Foxp3 mRNA expression in splenocytes compared with the controls (p < 0.01). The percentage of Treg cells and expression of Foxp3 mRNA were increased by Se treatment (as compared with untreated AIT mice, p < 0.05). Mice that received Se supplementation also had lower serum thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) titers and reduced lymphocytic infiltration in thyroids than untreated AIT mice. These data suggest that CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells play an important role in the development of AIT. Se supplementation may restore normal levels of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells by up-regulating the expression of Foxp3 mRNA in mice with AIT.
