Platycodin D(PD) has a significantly inhibitory effect on multiple malignant tumors, and can inhibit the proliferation of leukemia cells K562 and induce apoptosis. However, its effect in improving the sensitivity of drug-resistant cells to imatinib and their molecular mechanism remained unclear. To investigate the effect and mechanism of PD alone or combined with imatinib (IM) in inhibiting CML imatinib resistant cell line K562/R, the cell proliferation was examined by CCK8 assay to reveal the effect of PD on the inhibitory function of imatinib. Cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining. Protein expressions of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9, PARP, cleaved PARP, Bcr/abl, p-AKT and p-mTOR were detected by Western blot. The results showed that the inhibitory effect of PD combined with imatinib on the proliferation and apoptosis of K562/R cells was significantly higher than that of the control group and the single drug group. Protein expressions of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9 and cleaved PARP were significantly up-regulated in the combination group, and protein expressions of PARP, Bcr/abl, p-AKT and p-mTOR were down-regulated. The results indicated that PD increased the sensitivity of drug-resistant cells to imatinib, and the inhibitory effect of PD combined with imatinib was significantly better than the single drug on cell proliferation, induction of apoptosis, inhibition of Bcr/abl protein and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

The present study was designed to perform structural modifications of of neobavaisoflavone (NBIF), using an in vitro enzymatic glycosylation reaction, in order to improve its water-solubility. Two novel glucosides of NBIF were obtained from an enzymatic glycosylation by UDP-glycosyltransferase. The glycosylated products were elucidated by LC-MS, HR-ESI-MS, and NMR analysis. The HPLC peaks were integrated and the concentrations in sample solutions were calculated. The MTT assay was used to detect the cytotoxic activity of compounds in cancer cell lines. Based on the spectroscopic analyses, the two novel glucosides were identified as neobavaisoflavone-4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) and neobavaisoflavone-4', 7-di-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2). Additionally, the water-solubilities of compounds 1 and 2 were approximately 175.1- and 4 031.9-fold higher than that of the substrate, respectively. Among the test compounds, only NBIF exhibited weak cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines, with IC values ranging from 63.47 to 72.81 µmol·L. These results suggest that in vitro enzymatic glycosylation is a powerful approach to structural modification, improving water-solubility.

In order to study the regulatory effect of Tripterygium wilfordii polycoride (TWP) towards TLR4/MyD88 independent pathway in TNBS/ethanol ulcerative colitis (UC) rat model, TNBS/ethanol enema was adopted to build TNBS/ethanol UC rat model. After the successful modeling procedure, 90 male Wistar rats are were divided into 6 groups, including namely normal group, model group, TWP low, middle, high dose groups (3, 6, 12 mg•kg⁻¹)and azathioprine (AZA) group (6 g•kg⁻¹), with 15 rats in each group. All rats in each group were administrated with corresponding medicines for 14 days. After 14 days of administration, corresponding colon tissues were taken for general and microscopic evaluation. Western blotting analysis and RT-PCR were adopted to test the mRNA and protein expressions of TLR4/MyD88 independent pathway-related molecules, namely TLR4, TRAM, TRIF, NF-κB and IFN-γ. The results showed that DAI, general and microscopic evaluations all indicated that TNBS/ethanol UC rat model was successful. TWP can improve UC-related clinical manifestation and heal colonic mucosa, which was equal to AZA. RT-PCR and WB results showed that the expression of TLR4/MyD88 independent pathway-related molecules in model group were significantly superior to that in normal group at either mRNA or protein level (P<0.01). Compared with model group, TWP can inhibit the expression of each node in TLR4/MyD88 independent pathway in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of TWP with high dose towards the above molecules was inferior to that in model group at either mRNA or protein level (P<0.05). The inhibitory effect of TWP with high dose towards upstream molecules of TLR4/MyD88 independent pathway (TLR4, TRAM, TRIF, NF-κB) was slightly superior to AZA group at either mRNA or protein level. However, such inhibitory effect towards terminal inflammatory cytokines (IFN-γ) was inferior to AZA group at either mRNA or protein level. All the above differences had no statistical significance. Therefore, in TNBS/ethanol UC rat model, TLR4/MyD88 independent pathway took part in regulating inflammation. TWP exerted its anti-inflammation effect by inhibiting the expression of TLR4/MyD88 independent pathway in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To estimate the effect of glycyrrhetinic acid on epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced proliferation of HaCaT cells,and to investigate its possible mechanism.Methods Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to evaluate the proliferation of HaCaT cells treated with different concentrations of EGF (0,1,5,10,25,50,100 μg/L) and glycyrrhetinic acid (0,0.1,1.0,10,25,50,100μmol/L) alone,or the combination of 25 μg/L EGF with 25 μ mol/L glycyrrhetinic acid or 10 μ mol/L U0126 (an inhibitor of MEK1/2).Western blot was carried out to measure the protein expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA),Notch-1,ERK 1/2 and phosphorylated ERK 1/2 in HaCaT cells treated with 25 μg/L EGF,10 μmol/L U0126,25μmol/L glycyrrhetinic acid alone or in combination.Data were statistically analyzed by using t test,analysis of variance and correlation analysis with SPSS 17.0 software.Results EGF of 0-100 μg/L promoted the proliferation of HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent manner (r =0.798,P < 0.05),and there was a linear correlation between the effect and concentration within the concentration range 0-50 μg/L (r =0.859,P < 0.05).However,glycyrrhetinic acid of 10-100 μmol/L inhibited the proliferation of HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent manner (r =-0.945,P <0.01),and 10 μmol/L glycyrrhetinic acid could suppress the EGF (25 μg/L)-induced proliferation and phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in HaCaT cells.Also,both 25 μmol/L glycyrrhetinic acid and 10 μmol/L U0126 could attenuate the increase in PCNA and Notch-1 expression in HaCaT cells induced by 25 μg/L EGF.Conclusion Glycyrrhetinic acid can inhibit the EGF-induced proliferation of HaCaT cells,likely by suppressing the activation of ERK1/2 signaling pathway.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the effect of curcumin on the proliferation of and apoptosis in HaCaT cells induced by tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α).Methods HaCaT cells were cultured with the presence of different concentrations (0,1,5,10,25,50,100 ng/ml) of recombinant TNF-α,curcumin of 20 μmol/L,or the combination of recombinant TNF-α (25 ng/ml) and curcumin (20 μmol/L),for 24 hours followed by the determination of cell proliferation with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay.Western blot was conducted to measure the protein expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Notch-1 in HaCaT cells treated with recombinant TNF-α (25 ng/ml) and curcumin (20 μ mol/L) alone or in combination for 24 hours.Flow cytometry using annexin-V/propidium iodine (PI) was performed to assess the early apoptosis in HaCaT cells incubated with recombinant TNF-α of 25 ng/ml and curcumin of 20 μmol/L alone or in combination for 12 hours.Statistical analysis was carried out with one-way analysis of variance.Results Recombinant TNF-α promoted the proliferation of HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent manner,with the maximum proliferation activity observed in HaCaT cells treated with TNF-α of 25 ng/ml,while curcumin of 20 μmol/L effectively inhibited the proliferation of HaCaT cells induced by TNF-α of 25 ng/ml (P < 0.01).TNF-α of 25 ng/ml had no obvious effect on cell apoptosis,while curcumin of 20 μ mol/L markedly induced the apoptosis in HaCaT cells,and there was a synergy between TNF-α of 25 ng/ml and curcumin of 20 μmol/L in the induction of apoptosis in HaCaT cells,with the apoptosis rate being 2.3%,3.4%,11.6% and 16.8% respectively in untreated cells,cells treated with TNF-α,curcumin,and the combination of TNF-α and curcumin,respectively.Conclusions Curcumin could enhance the inductive effect of TNF-α on the apoptosis in,but suppress the promotive effect of TNF-α on the proliferation of,HaCaT cells.
