ABSTRACT

AIM: To explore schisandrin B (Sch B) pretreatment reduces intestinal ischemia reperfusion injury (IIRI) through inhibiting apoptosis by activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signing pathway in mice by network pharmacology and in vivo experiment. METHODS: (1) The targets of Sch B and IIRI were searched from online databases, Drawing Venn diagram to obtain the common target of them. Cytoscape software was imported to construct the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network to establish the "Drugs-Disease-core target gene" network. The mechanism of Sch B against IIRI was predicted through GO and KEGG enrichment analysis. (2) Thirty-six C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into six groups (n = 6). The model of IIRI was established in four groups except the sham operation group. Three of the groups were pretreated with Sch B, Nrf2 inhibitor ML385, and Sch B + ML385, respectively. After the experiment, intestinal tissue samples were taken for HE staining, Chiu ' s score, apoptosis staining, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and immunoblotting (Western blot). RESULTS: A total of 412 Sch B related tar- gets, 2 166 IIRI related targets and 153 common targets were screened out through network pharmacology. There were 88 "Sch B-IIRI-core target gene" included NFE2L2 (Nrf2), HMOX1 (HO-1), BCL2, CASP3 (caspase 3), and so on. KEGG enrichment analysis screened 163 related pathways, apoptosis pathway ranked high showing that the pathway may play a key role in the treatment of IIRI by Sch B. The animal experiment had shown that Sch B reduced the Chiu's score and apoptotic while upregulating Nrf2, HO-1, Bcl-2 protein expression levels and Bcl-2/Bax, downregulating Bax, and cleaved caspase-3 expression levels, thereby reducing IIRI in mice, and that Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 reversed this process (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: This study reveals that Sch B has the characteristics of multi-target and multi-pathway in the reduction of IIRI, and Sch B can reduce IIRI through inhibiting apoptosis by activation of Nrf2/ HO-1 pathway.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the effect and mechanism of schisandrin B (Sch B) in the treatment of cerebral ischemia in rats.@*METHODS@#The cerebral ischemia models were induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and reperfusion. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 6 groups using a random number table, including sham, MCAO, MCAO+Sch B (50 mg/kg), MCAO+Sch B (100 mg/kg), MCAO+Sch B (100 mg/kg)+LY294002, and MCAO+Sch B (100 mg/kg)+wortmannin groups. The effects of Sch B on pathological indicators, including neurological deficit scores, cerebral infarct volume, and brain edema, were subsequently studied. Tissue apoptosis was identified by terminal transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) staining. The protein expressions involved in apoptosis, inflammation response and oxidative stress were examined by immunofluorescent staining, biochemical analysis and Western blot analysis, respectively. The effect of Sch B on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling was also explored.@*RESULTS@#Sch B treatment decreased neurological deficit scores, cerebral water content, and infarct volume in MCAO rats (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Neuronal nuclei and TUNEL staining indicated that Sch B also reduced apoptosis in brain tissues, as well as the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and caspase-3 expression (P<0.01). Sch B regulated the production of myeloperoxidase, malondialdehyde, nitric oxide and superoxide dismutase, as well as the release of cytokine interleukin (IL)-1 β and IL-18, in MCAO rats (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Sch B promoted the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT. Blocking the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway with LY294002 or wortmannin reduced the protective effect of Sch B against cerebral ischemia (P<0.05 or P<0.01).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Sch B reduced apoptosis, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress of MCAO rats by modulating the PI3K/AKT pathway. Sch B had a potential for treating cerebral ischemia.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To determine whether Schisandrin B (Sch B) attenuates early brain injury (EBI) in rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).@*METHODS@#Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sham (sham operation), SAH, SAH+vehicle, and SAH+Sch B groups using a random number table. Rats underwent SAH by endovascular perforation and received Sch B (100 mg/kg) or normal saline after 2 and 12 h of SAH. SAH grading, neurological scores, brain water content, Evan's blue extravasation, and terminal transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) staining were carried out 24 h after SAH. Immunofluorescent staining was performed to detect the expressions of ionized calcium binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba-1) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the rat brain, while the expressions of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bax, Caspase-3, nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated specklike protein containing the caspase-1 activator domain (ASC), Caspase-1, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-18 in the rat brains were detected by Western blot.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the SAH group, Sch B significantly improved the neurological function, reduced brain water content, Evan's blue content, and apoptotic cells number in the brain of rats (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Moreover, Sch B decreased SAH-induced expressions of Iba-1 and MPO (P<0.01). SAH caused the elevated expressions of Bax, Caspase-3, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-18 in the rat brain (P<0.01), all of which were inhibited by Sch B (P<0.01). In addition, Sch B increased the Bcl-2 expression (P<0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#Sch B attenuated SAH-induced EBI, which might be associated with the inhibition of neuroinflammation, neuronal apoptosis, and the NLRP3 inflammatory signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effects of schisandrin B (Sch B) on the apoptosis of human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and its mechanism. Methods Cell counting reagent (CCK-8) was used to detect the effect of Sch B on the survival rate of MDA-MB-231 cells. MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with Sch B (10, 20, 40 μmol/L) for 24 hours. The cell death was detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI. The levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected by DCFA-DA fluorescent probe. Apoptosis and the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress related proteins (Bcl-2、Bax、CHOP、GPR78、PERK、p-PERK、p-eIF2α、eIF2) were detected by Western blot. Results Compared with the blank group, the cell survival rate decreased significantly (P<0.01) with the increase of Sch B concentration, and its IC50 was 19.16 μmol/L. Compared with the control group, Sch B groups (10, 20, 40 μmol/L) inhibited cell clone formation in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). Sch B groups (10, 20, 40 μmol/L) induced apoptosis (P<0.05), significantly reduced the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and significantly increased the expression of pro-apoptotic protein Bax (P<0.05). Sch B groups (10, 20, 40 μmol/L) significantly increased the level of intracellular ROS in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). Sch B groups (10, 20, 40 μmol/L) stimulated endoplasmic reticulum stress and increased the expressions of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins CHOP, GPR78 and p-eIF2α in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). Conclusion Sch B induces apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells through ROS mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress.

ABSTRACT

In the current study, schisandrin B(SchB)-loaded F127 modified lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles(SchB-F-LPNs) were developed to improve the inhibition of breast cancer lung metastasis. Modified nanoprecipitation method was used to prepare SchB-F-LPNs. The nanoparticles were spherical in shape with shell-core structure by TEM observation. SchB-F-LPNs showed a mean particle size of(234.60±6.11) nm with zeta potential of(-5.88±0.49) mV. XRD results indicated that SchB existed in the nanoparticles in an amorphous state. The apparent permeability coefficient through porcine mucus of F-LPNs was 1.43-fold of that of LPNs as shown in the in vitro mucus penetration study. The pharmacokinetics study showed that the C_(max) of SchB was(369.06±146.94) μg·L~(-1),(1 121.34±91.65) μg·L~(-1) and(2 951.91±360.53) μg·L~(-1) respectively in SchB suspensions group, SchB-LPNs group and SchB-F-LPNs group after oral administration in rats. With SchB suspensions as the reference formulation, the relative bioavailability of SchB-F-LPNs was 568.60%. SchB-F-LPNs inhibited the morphological change during transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition. In addition, SchB-F-LPNs significantly decreased the number of metastatic pulmonary nodules in 4 T1 tumor-bearing mice, suggesting that SchB-F-LPNs may inhibit the metastasis of breast cancer. These results reveal the promising potential of SchB-F-LPNs in treatment of breast cancer lung metastasis.

ABSTRACT

Aim: To evaluate the mouse model of hypertriglyceridemia (hTG) induced by schisandrin B (Sch B) using lipid metabolomics technology. Methods: Male ICR mice weighing 23 ~ 27 g were randomly divided into four groups: (1) mice fed with normal diet (ND group) (2) mice fed with ND and treated with Sch B(ND +Sch B group); (3) mice fed with high fat/fructose diet(HFFD group; fat, 10%; fructose, 10%; w/w), and (4) mice fed with HFFD and treated with Sch B (HFFD + Sch B group). Based on our previous research, Sch B at a single dose of 2 g · kg-1 was orally administered to the animals in the current study. Forty-eight hours later, serum samples were obtained from the orbital vein. Serum triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) were analyzed by biochemical method. The metabolic fingerprint spectrum of serum in all groups were obtained and analyzed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/TOF-MS) method. The differences of metabolic spectra in every two groups were compared via the multivariate statistical methods. Results: Compared with ND group, three kinds (27 markers) of differential metabolites were identified in ND +Sch B group, including 18 TG, 7 phosphatidylcholine (PC), and 2 phosphatidylethano-lamine(PE). Compared with ND group, five kinds(27 markers) of differential metabolites were screened in HFFD group, including 6 sphingomyelin (SM), 13 PC, 2 cholesteryl ester(CE), 5 TG and 1 phosphati-dylinositol (PI). Compared with HFFD group, four kinds (25 markers) of differential metabolites were found in HFFD + Sch B group, involving 14 TG, 1 CE, 6 PC and 4 PE. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the animal model of hypertriglyceridemia established by Sch B involves the alteration of serum lipid metabolomics.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the effect of schisandrin B (SchB) on P21 and Caspase-3 expression in cisplatin induced human proximal renal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells injuried by CDDP in vitro. Methods: HK-2 cells were randomly divided into five groups: control group (untreated), CDDP group (treated with 50 μmol/L CDDP for 24 h), SchB pretreat groups (CDDP + SchB, cells were pretreated with 5, 10, and 20 μmol/L SchB for 2 h, and the rest of the operation was the same as CDDP group). CCK-8 kit was used to detect the cell viability of five groups. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptotic rate of five groups. The morphology of cells was observed by inverted microscope. The protein expression of P21 and Caspase-3 was assessed by Western blotting assay. Results: Compared with the control group, the cell viability decreased, and the apoptosis increased, the protein expression of P21 and Caspase-3 was up-regulated in HK-2 cells after treated with 50 μmol/L CDDP. Cell volume was reduced, and the mutual connection disappeared. Compared with the CDDP group, the cell viability increased and the apoptosis was decreased, the expression of Caspase-3 was down-regulated and the expression of P21 was up-regulated in HK-2 cells after pretreated with 5, 10, and 20 μmol/L SchB. Cell morphological damage lightened, the volume slightly decreased, and the mutual connection reduced. Conclusion: SchB has a protective effect on HK-2 cells damage induced by cisplatin. The mechanism may be related to up-regulation of P21 and down-regulation of Caspase-3 expression, and its protective effect is dose dependent.

The MTT test were measured, and the amount of doxorubicin in the K562/DOX cells at different time were determined, and time course of uptake and efflux were drawn. RESULTS: The MTT test shows that the resistance factor(RF) of group DS-L were 1.68, 14.52 and 1.42 times of group Sch B+DOX, group D-L and group D-L+Sch B respectively. The uptake test shows that amount of doxorubicin of K562/DOX cells in group DS-L was 1.30 and 1.21 times of that in group D-L and group Sch B+DOX respectively. And the efflux test shows DS-L could delay doxorubicin efflux from K562/DOX cells. CONCLUSION: The co-delivery of chemotherapeutics and P-gp inhibitors schisandrin B by liposome is a promising approach to overcome MDR. And there is a synergistic effect between liposome and schisandrin B to overcome MDR.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate whether Schisandrin B (Sch B) could improve cardiac structure and function in myocardial infarction (MI) mice and related mechanisms.@*Methods@#Male C57BL/6J mice were randomized into sham (n=8), MI+ Sch B (n=24, 80 mg·kg-1·d-1 per gavage) or MI+ vehicle (n=24, equal volume). After treatment for 3 weeks, cardiac function was detected by echocardiography measurement.Infarction size was measured by Evans blue and TTC staining.HE and Masson trichrome staining were used to observe the myocardial inflammation, structure and fibrosis.TNF-α, TGF-β, IL-1β were detected by ELISA. The apoptosis index of ischemic myocardial cells was detected by immunofluorescence. NF-κB, Bcl-2, Bax, Akt phosphorylated Akt(p-Akt), eNOS, phosphorylated eNOS (p-eNOS) were detected by Western blot.@*Results@#Three weeks after operation, survival rate (83.33% vs. 54.17%, P<0.05), LVEF((51.77±8.50)% vs.(40.23±8.30)%, P<0.05), LVFS((26.44±5.15)% vs. (19.53±4.56)%, P<0.05)were significantly higher; LVEDD ((4.13±0.40) mm vs.(4.44±0.46)mm, P<0.05), LVESD((3.07±0.39) mm vs. (3.46±0.52)mm, P<0.05), the heart weight/body weight ratio((0.59±0.06)% vs. (0.68±0.10)%, P<0.05)was significantly lower and infarct size ((23.4±2.36)% vs. (39.4±2.06)%, P<0.05) was significantly reduced in MI+ Sch B group than those in MI+ vehicle group. In MI+ vehicle group, HE staining showed a large number of inflammatory cells in the peri-infarctl region, and the permutation structure was very disorganized, while above changes were significantly reduced in the MI+ Sch B group. Masson staining results showed that the degree of myocardial fibrosis in MI+ Sch B group was significantly less than that of MI+ vehicle group.Moreover, Sch B could down-regulate some inflammatory cytokines, like NF-κB、TGF-β、TNF-α and IL-1β, activate Akt-eNOS pathway, upgrade Bcl-2 and downgrade Bax and reduce cell apoptosis as compared with MI+ vehicle group (all P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#Our results demonstrate that Sch B can reduce inflammation, inhibit apoptosis, and attenuate cardiac remodeling and improve cardiac function in this mice MI model.Sch B might serve as a potential novel therapeutic agent for ischemic heart disease.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of schisandrin B (SchB)on the cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury of the rats and the influence in HSPA12B/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,and to explore the mechanisms.Methods:130 SD rats were divided into sham group,cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury model group (model group),low dose of SchB group (SchB 3 mg· kg-1 ,SchB1 group),middle dose of SchB group (SchB 10 mg·kg-1 ,SchB2 group)and high dose of SchB group (SchB 30 mg·kg-1 ,SchB3 group)(n=26).The rats in sham group didn’t plug lines;the rats in model were used to establish ischemia reperfusion models;the rats in SchB1 ,SchB2 and SchB3 groups were firstly pretreated with different doses of SchB for 7 d,and then they were used to build cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury models.The nerve dysfunction of rats was evaluated by neurologic deficit score.The cerebral edema was detected by measuring the content of water in brain tissue.The morphological changes of brain tissue were observed by toluidine blue staining.The levels of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1 (IL-1)and interleukin-6 (IL-6)in the brain tissue were detected by ELISA.Western blotting method was used to detect the protein expression levels of heat shock protein A12B (HSPA12B ), serine-threonine kinase (Akt ) and phosphorylation serine-threonine kinase (p-AKT ). Results:Compared with sham group,the neurologic deficit score of rats in model group was significantly increased (P <0.01),and the content of water in brain tissue was increased (P < 0.01 );the brain tissue structure was loosened,and the mesenchyme appeared edema;the NF-κB,TNF-α,IL-1,and IL-6 levels were increased (P <0.01),and the expression levels of HSPA12B and p-Akt proteins were decreased (P <0.01).Compared with model group,the neurologic deficit scores of the rats in SchB1 ,SchB2 ,and SchB3 groups were decreased (P <0.01),and the contents of water in brain tissue of the rats in SchB2 and SchB3 groups were decreased (P <0.05);the edema of nerve cells was alleviated,and the cavities were reduced;the NF-κB,TNF-α,IL-1,and IL-6 levels were decreased (P <0.05 or P <0.01),the expression levels of the HSPA12B protein in SchB2 ,and SchB3 groups were increased (P <0.05),and the p-Akt protein expression levels of the rats in SchB1 ,SchB2 ,and SchB3 groups were increased (P <0.01).Conclusion:SchB could protect the cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury of rats,its mechanism may be related to regulating the HSPA12B/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and inhibiting the inflammatory reaction damage to the nerve cells of reperfusion.
