Study on drug-target binding kinetics profiles of flavonoids in Chrysanthemum morifolium and xanthine oxidase / 中国中药杂志

Based on the target occupancy mathematical model, the binding kinetic process of potential active ingredients of lowering uric acid in Chrysanthemum morifolium with xanthine oxidase(XOD) was evaluated. The potential active ingredients of lowering uric acid in Ch. morifolium were screened by UPLC-Q-Exactivems MS technology, reference substance identification and in vitro enzymatic kinetics experiments. The binding kinetic parameters of xanthine oxidase and potential inhibitor in Ch. morifolium were determined by surface plasma resonance(SPR). The verified mathematical model of the XOD target occupancy evaluated the kinetic binding process of inhibitors and xanthine oxidase in vivo. According to UPLC-Q-Exactive MS and reference substance identification, 39 potential uric acid-lowering active ingredients in Ch. morifolium extracts were identified and the inhibitory activities of 23 compounds were determined. Three potential xanthine oxidase inhibitors were screened, namely genistein, luteolin, and apigenin. whose IC_(50 )were 1.23, 1.47 and 1.59 μmol·L~(-1), respectively. And the binding rate constants(K_(on)) were 1.26×10~6, 5.23×10~5 and 6.36×10~5 mol·L~(-1)·s~(-1), respectively. The dissociation rate constants(K_(off)) were 10.93×10~(-2), 1.59×10~(-2), and 5.3×10~(-2 )s~(-1), respectively. After evaluation by different administration methods, the three selected compounds can perform rapid and sustained inhibition of xanthine oxidase in vivo under combined administration. This study comprehensively evaluated the target occupancy process of three effective components in different ways of administration in vivo by UPLC-MS, concentration-response method, SPR technology and xanthine oxidase target occupancy model, which would provide a new research idea and method for screening active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine.

lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 regulates proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer cells via targeting miR-506-5p / 中国肿瘤生物治疗杂志

@#Objective: To investigate whether long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FOXD2-AS1 targets miR-506-5p to regulate proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer cells. Methods: Human normal cervical cells Ect1/E6E7 and cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa, Siha and Caski) were cultured in vitro, and the expression levels of FOXD2-AS1 and miR-506-5p in cells were detected by qPCR. The cervical cancer cells with FOXD2-AS1 knockdown and miR-506-5p over-expression were constructed by liposome transfection technology, and the proliferation and apoptosis of cells were detected by MTT assay and flow cytometry respectively, the expression of proliferation-related proteins CyclinD1, p21, p27 and apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2, BAX, cleaved-capase-3 were detected by WB. Dual luciferase reporter assay was used to verify whether FOXD2-AS1 would target miR-506-5p; and the effects of simultaneous inhibition of FOXD2-AS1 and miR-506-5p on proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer cells were also analyzed. Results: Compared with Ect1/E6E7 cells, the expression of FOXD2-AS1 significantly increased while the expression of miR-506-5p significantly decreased in cervical cancer HeLa, Siha and Caski cells (all P<0.01). FOXD2-AS1 knockdown significantly inhibited the protein expressions of CyclinD1, Bcl-2 and cell proliferationin cervical cancer cells, but promoted the protein expressions of p21, p27, BAX, cleavedcapase-3, and cell apoptosis (all P<0.01). miR-506-5p over-expression significantly inhibited the protein expressions of CyclinD1, Bcl2 and cell proliferation in cervical cancer cells, but promoted the protein expressions of p21, BAX, and cell apoptosis (all P<0.01). Dual luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that FOXD2-AS1 negatively regulated the expression of miR-506-5p in cervical cancer cells (P<0.01). Inhibition of miR-506-5p expression reversed the effect of FOXD2-AS1 knockdown on proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer cell (P<0.01). Conclusion: FOXD2-AS1 modulates proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer cells by negatively regulating the expression of miR-506-5p.

(2R,3S)-Pinobanksin-3-cinnamate promotes osteoblast differentiation through cAMP and cGMP pathways

Abstract Flavones have the potential of being used as a dietary supplement for bone health promotion beyond calcium and vitamin D. Recent studies have showed that flavones enhanced bone formation and inhibited bone resorption by affecting osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation through various cell signaling pathways. In this study, we investigated the effects of a new flavone (2R,3S)-pinobanksin-3-cinnamate, isolated from the metabolites of the endophytic fungus Penicillium sp. FJ-1 of Acanthus ilicifolius L., Acanthaceae, on osteoblast differentiation by using MC3T3-E1 cells. It was observed that (2R,3S)-pinobanksin-3-cinnamate promoted osteoblast differentiation, as evidenced by increased mineralization process and alkaline phosphatase activity, as well as expression of genes encoding the bone differentiation. Moreover (2R,3S)-pinobanksin-3-cinnamate treatment upregulated the gene expression of wingless-type MMTV integration site family, bone morphogenetic protein and runt-related transcription factor 2, and protein expression of phosphor-Smad1/5/8, β-catenin and runt-related transcription factor 2 in MC3T3-E1 cells. The osteoblast differentiation effects induced by (2R,3S)-pinobanksin-3-cinnamate were attenuated by the bone morphogenetic protein antagonist Noggin, and wingless-type MMTV integration site family signaling pathway inhibitors Dickkopf-1. Co-treatment with adenosine 30,50-cyclic monophosphate and guanosine 30,50-cyclic monophosphate pathway inhibitors, H89 and KT5823, respectively, reversed the (2R,3S)-pinobanksin-3-cinnamate-induced activations of p-Smad1/5/8, β-catenin, and runt-related transcription factor 2. Our data demonstrated that (2R,3S)-pinobanksin-3-cinnamate promoted the osteoblast differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells, at least partially through the adenosine 30,50-cyclic monophosphate and guanosine 30,50-cyclic monophosphate signaling pathways, providing the scientific rational to develop (2R,3S)-pinobanksin-3-cinnamate against bone loss-associated diseases.

Objective The aim of the study was to explore the long-term benefits of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods From January 2007 to November 2014, 240 patients (187 males and 53 females, average age 59 years) received robotic off-pump CABG assisted with da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, USA) in our center. Totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass (totally robot-assisted TECAB, n=100) or mini-thoracotomy direct coronary artery bypass (free of internal mammary artery, IMA, by robot, MIDCAB, n=140) grafting was performed. Patients were followed-up regularly, and their graft patency was assessed every 6 months by coronary angiography or 64-multi-slide CT angiography. Results All the procedures were completed successfully without conversion to median sternotomy or cardiopulmonary bypass, there was no operative mortality. 237 unilateral IMA grafts (98.7%) and 3 bilateral IMA grafts (1.3%) were used. Hybrid revascularization of non-left anterior descending vessels was performed in 24 patients (10%). In the follow-up of 41.1±12.9 months, no death, stroke or myocardial infarction occurred. All grafts were patent before discharge. The IMA graft patency was 97.1% in TECAB and 96.4 % in MIDCAB over 3 years (up to 91 months) after surgery. Conclusions Robotic off-pump CABG using IMA grafts is a safe and effective surgery method in selected patients. The long-term outcome and patency of IMA grafts are excellent.

Performance of the Prostate Health Index in predicting prostate biopsy outcomes among men with a negative digital rectal examination and transrectal ultrasonography / 亚洲男科学杂志(英文版)

The [-2]proPSA (p2PSA) and its derivatives, the p2PSA-to-free PSA ratio (%p2PSA), and the Prostate Health Index (PHI) have greatly improved discrimination between men with and without prostate cancer (PCa) in prostate biopsies. However, little is known about their performance in cases where a digital rectal examination (DRE) and transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) are negative. A prospective cohort of 261 consecutive patients in China with negative DRE and TRUS were recruited and underwent prostate biopsies. A serum sample had collected before the biopsy was used to measure various PSA derivatives, including total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA), free PSA, and p2PSA. For each patient, the free-to-total PSA ratio (%fPSA), PSA density (PSAD), p2PSA-to-free PSA ratio (%p2PSA), and PHI were calculated. Discriminative performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and the biopsy rate at 91% sensitivity. The AUC scores within the entire cohort with respect to age, tPSA, %fPSA, PSAD, p2PSA, %p2PSA, and PHI were 0.598, 0.751, 0.646, 0.789, 0.814, 0.808, and 0.853, respectively. PHI was the best predictor of prostate biopsy results, especially in patients with a tPSA of 10.1-20 ng ml-1. Compared with other markers, at a sensitivity of 91%, PHI was the most useful for determining which men did not need to undergo biopsy, thereby avoiding unnecessary procedures. The use of PHI could improve the accuracy of PCa detection by predicting prostate biopsy outcomes among men with a negative DRE and TRUS in China.

Autotoxicity in Pogostemon cablin and their allelochemicals

Abstract The effects of allelochemicals and aqueous extracts from different Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth., Lamiaceae, parts and rhizosphere soil on growth parameters, leaf membrane peroxidation and leaf antioxidant enzymes were investigated in patchouli. P. cablin seedlings were incubated in solutions containing allelochemicals and aqueous extracts from different patchouli parts and its rhizosphere soil at several concentrations. Firstly, the growth parameters were significantly reduced by the highest concentration of leaves, roots and stems extracts (p < 0.05). As compared to the control, plant height was reduced by 99.8% in the treatment with leaves extracts (1:10). The malondialdehyde content increased greatly when patchouli seedlings were subject to different concentrations of leaves, roots and stems extracts; meanwhile, the superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activities showed an increase trend at the low concentration, followed by a decline phase at the high concentration of roots and leaves extracts (1:10). What's more, leaves and roots extracts had a more negative effect on patchouli growth than stems extracts at the same concentrations. Secondly, the total fresh mass, root length and plant height were greatly reduced by the highest strength of soil extracts. Their decrements were 22.7, 74.9, and 33.1%, respectively. Thirdly, growth parameters and enzymatic activities varied considerably with the kinds of allelochemicals and with the different concentrations. Plant height, root length and total fresh weight of patchouli were greatly reduced by p-hydroxybenzoic acid (200 μM), and their decrements were 77.0, 42.0 and 70.0%, respectively. Finally, three useful measures on reducing the autotoxicity during the sustainable patchouli production were proposed.

Dynamic accumulation of sesquiterpenes in essential oil of Pogostemon cablin

Sesquiterpenes Essential oil produced by patchouli was one of the most important naturally occurring base materials used in the perfume industry, containing various sesquiterpenes. Three different parts (leaves, stems and roots) of Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth., Lamiaceae, were profiled in relation to different maturation phases in this paper, evaluating the variations in content of the major sesquiterpenes in the essential oil. Twelve sesquiterpenes were analyzed by GC-MS throughout the maturity of P. cablin. Patchouli alcohol (37.54%-51.02% in leaves, 28.24%-41.96% in stems and 14.55%-35.12% in roots) was the major sesquiterpene during the maturation of the plant. The average content of several other sesquiterpenes (α-bulnesene, α-guaiene, seychellene, β-humulene and caryophyllene) were higher than 3% among leaves, stems and roots. The content of essential oil, patchouli alcohol, α-bulnesene and several other compounds were highly accumulated at 210 days of maturation after cultivation of P. cablin. Thus, this period was the best moment to exploit the maximum level of these high value-added compounds in P. cablin. Furthermore, our results indicated that the essential oil extracted from leaves of P. cablin has the highest potential to be used in the perfume industry.
