RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the mechanism of gypenoside ⅩⅦ against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) through nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/antioxidant responsive element (Nrf2/ARE) signaling pathway.Methods:Forty SPF Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham operated group, I/R model group, 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg gypenoside ⅩⅦ groups ( n = 8). Gypenoside ⅩⅦ groups were administered 25, 50 or 100 mg/kg (0.01 mL/g) gypenoside ⅩⅦ by intragastric administration for 14 days; the other two groups received the same dose of saline. Rat cerebral I/R model was established by modified line bolt method; rats in the sham operated group underwent the same procedure without producing substantial embolization. After 24 hours of reperfusion, the neurological deficit scores of the rats in each group were assessed. Rat abdominal aortic whole blood was collected and the serum reactive oxygen species (ROS), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), γ-glutamylcysteine synthase (γ-GCS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), quinone NADH oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected. Then whole brain tissue was harvested and penumbra tissue was isolated from cerebral cortex, the general condition of rat brain tissue and the volume of cerebral infarction were evaluated, the histopathological changes in the brain were observed under light microscopy, the mRNA expressions of Nrf2 and Keap1 were measured by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), the protein expressions of Nrf2 and Keap1 were determined by Western blotting. Results:After 24 hours of reperfusion, compared with the sham operated group, the score of neurological deficit and infarct volume were significantly increased, the NQO1, SOD and γ-GCS levels in serum were significantly decreased, MDA, HO-1 and ROS levels in serum were significantly increased, the Nrf2 and Keap1 mRNA and protein expressions in the ischemic penumbra were significantly increased in rats from I/R model group. Compared with the I/R model group, the neurological deficit scores (1.50±0.53, 1.37±0.52 vs. 2.75±0.46) and brain infarct volume [(19.8±5.1)%, (21.4±6.4)% vs. (42.3±5.8)%] were significantly reduced, serum NQO1, SOD, HO-1 and γ-GCS were significantly increased [NQO1 (ng/L): 186.05±10.38, 220.75±16.22 vs. 131.36±5.95, SOD (kU/L): 63.23±5.30, 72.70±8.62 vs. 36.75±6.55, HO-1 (ng/L): 60.57±7.93, 60.35±4.72 vs. 42.72±4.95, γ-GCS (kU/L): 8.81±0.53, 8.72±0.69 vs. 6.80±0.56], serum MDA and ROS levels were significantly reduced [MDA (μmol/L): 5.94±0.66, 5.61±0.53 vs. 10.88±1.34, ROS (kU/L): 69.11±4.23, 67.12±4.52 vs. 104.43±7.54], the mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2 and Keap1 in the ischemic penumbra were significantly increased in rats from 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg gypenoside ⅩⅦ groups [Nrf2 mRNA (2 -△△Ct): 1.90±0.13, 2.13±0.18 vs. 1.48±0.11, Keap1 mRNA (2 -△△Ct): 1.78±0.11, 1.85±0.10 vs. 1.43±0.10, Nrf2/β-actin: 0.73±0.04, 0.79±0.03 vs. 0.60±0.03, Keap1/β-actin: 0.71±0.01, 0.76±0.03 vs. 0.61±0.01], all the comparative differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.01); 25 mg/kg gypenoside ⅩⅦ had no significant effect. Conclusion:Gypenoside ⅩⅦ (50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg) may play a role in anti-cerebral I/R injury by regulating NQO1, SOD, HO-1, γ-GCS, ROS and MDA through Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.

RESUMEN
Objective:To screen and identify the potential targets of carthamin against sepsis by studying the characteristics of carthamin.Methods:The pharmacological parameters and molecular characteristics of carthamin were analyzed with the aid of Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP). The targets of carthamin were screened by SwissTargetprediction (a website providing compound target prediction) and Drug Repositioning and Adverse drug Reaction via Chemical-Protein Interactome (DRAR-CPI). The anti-sepsis targets were selected from the three databases of Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) and Therapeutic Targets Database (TTD). The targets of carthamin screened by the two websites and disease targets selected from the three databases were matched to screen the targets of carthamin against sepsis. The anti-sepsis potential targets of carthamin were identified by molecular docking software.Results:The oral bioavailability of carthamin was 41.15%, the drug-likeness was 0.24, and the rotational bond number was 1, which indicated that carthamin was well absorbed by oral administration and showed good drug formation. A total of 115 potential targets of carthamin were screened by SwissTargetprediction and DRAR-CPI; 149 disease targets were found from OMIM, CTD and TTD databases; 115 target proteins of carthamin screened by the two websites were matched with the disease targets , and 10 target proteins were found to be both molecular targets and disease targets. The 10 target proteins were coagulation factor Ⅸ (F9), adenosine A1 receptor (ADORA1), nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2), mitogen activity protein kinase 1 (MAPK1), cathepsin G (CTSG), neutrophil elastase (ELANE), protein C (PROC), lipocalin 2 (LCN2), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and prostaglandin endoperoxidase 2 (PTGS2). Molecular docking software analysis showed that carthamin had the ability to bind to the above 10 target proteins, which were potential targets of carthamin against sepsis. Carthamin could interact with the key amino acid residues of the targeted proteins, so as to play the corresponding efficacy.Conclusion:Carthamin combines with the targets could reduce the tissues and organs damage of sepsis by regulating CTSG, ELANE and LCN2, reduce inflammatory response of sepsis by regulating ADORA1, PTGS2, NOS2, MAPK1 and mediating PROC and F9 to inhibit clotting, and improve oxidative stress, reduce the incidence of sepsis by regulating G6PD, finally, prevented and treated sepsis.
