Intervention research status of traditional Chinese medicine monomers on autoimmune diseases by regulating Th17/Treg axis based on gut microbiota / 中国药房

Autoimmune diseases（ADs） are diseases in which the body’s immune tolerance is impaired， causing damage to its tissues. The pro-inflammatory helper T cell 17 （Th17） and anti-inflammatory regulatory T cell （Treg） are functionally antagonistic to each other， and the immune imbalance between them and the imbalance of related inflammatory factors are closely related to the occurrence of a variety of ADs. Plenty of evidence has shown that gut microbiota can regulate Th17/Treg differentiation， rebuild immune tolerance and delay the ADs process through regulating cytokine production， transcription factor expression and energy metabolism. This paper reviews the intervention effects of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） monomers on the common ADs by regulating Th17/Treg differentiation balance based on intestinal flora： ulcerative colitis，rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes mellitus type 1. It is found that its mechanism of action may be to restore the balance of pro-inflammatory factors and anti-inflammatory factors to alleviate intestinal mucosal barrier damage， reduce synovial angiogenesis and improve pancreatic β cell destruction， which provides some ideas for the prevention and treatment of ADs with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

Effects of extracellular polysaccharides from Paecilomyces Lilacinuson on function of mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells / 中国免疫学杂志

Objective:To investigate the effects of the Paecilomyces Lilacinuson extracellular polysaccharides on the phenotypic and maturation of murine dendritic cells. Methods: Imature DCs were induced in vitro from the murine bone marrow cells in the presence of rmGM-CSF and rmIL-4, and then they were cultured with different dosage of the extracellular polysaccharides. The morphological characterization was analyzed under microscopy. The expressions of the DCs surface costimulating factors and phagocytic function to FITC-dextran were detected by flow cytometry. The level of IL-12 secreted by DCs was observed by ELISA. At the same time the influence of DCs on the proliferation of T cells was determined by MTT. Results:Treating with the polysaccharides for 48 h could up-regulate the expression of DCs surface molecules,such as CD11c,MHCⅡ,CD80 and CD86,and the 400 μg/ml was the optimal dose,comparing with the blank control group, the difference was significant (P<0. 01), contrast to LPS control group that was not different ( P<0. 05 ) . The uptaking FITC-dextran ability of the DCs treated with 300 μg/ml and 400 μg/ml polysaccharides was significant lower than the unstimulated DCs(P<0. 05). At the same time the extract at different concentration could distinctly enhance the proliferation of T cells by DCs too. Conclusion:The extracellular polysaccharides could stimulate the maturation of dendritic cells and induce the production of mature dendritic cells.

Effects of Jia-Shen Prescription on Cardiac Function and Cytokine Production in Early Phase of Myocardial Infarction in Rats / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

This article was aimed to determine effects of Jia-Shen prescription (JSP) on infarct size (IS), cardiac function and myocardial cytokine in the early phase of myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. Acute MI models were induced by the ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. The rats were ran-domly divided into five groups, which were the sham-operated group, model group, JSP-3 g (3 g·kg-1·day-1) group, JSP-6 g (6 g·kg-1·day-1) group, and the losartan (10 mg·kg-1·day-1) group. IS was determined by Evans blue and 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) 3 days after MI. The left ventricular structure and contractility were measured by echocardiography performed 7 days after MI. And contents of myocardial inflammatory mediators in-cluding tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-1β(IL-1β), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were measured by ELISA. The results showed that compared with the model group, treatment with JSP at the dose of 6 g significantly reduced myocardial IS (P<0.05);left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and left ventricu-lar end systolic diameter (LVESD) were significantly decreased (P<0.05); left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fraction shortening (LVFS) were significantly increased (P<0.05).The results were similar as the losartan group. Compared with the model group, JSP can significantly reduce the production of TNF-α, IL-1βand MCP-1 in cardiac tissues (P<0.05). Except TNF-α, these effects of JSP were in a dose-dependent manner. JSP (6 g) had equal effectiveness with losartan. It was concluded that consistent with losartan-induced cardioprotection, JSP administered after MI reduced myocardial IS, improved cardiac function, and decreased inflammatory mediators in ischemic myocardium. The data indicated that JSP exerted its cardioprotection possibly via inhibiting inflammatory response.
