ABSTRACT

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Modified Danzhi Xiaoyao Powder (MDXP) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula remedy for treating Dry Eye Disease (DED). It showed the function of dispersing stagnated liver Qi for relieving Qi stagnation and clearing heat, which can be effective in treating conditions such as Dry Eye Disease (DED) and irregular menstruation due to liver depression and fire transformation. AIM OF THE STUDY: This study investigated the mechanism of the effect of MDXP in mice with DED. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A DED model was induced in mice using chronic painful stimulation (tail clamping) in combination with Benzalkonium Chloride Solution drops administered in a dry box for 28 days. After modeling, the MDXP groups were given Chinese medicine with different dosages by gavage for 14 days. The following parameters were recorded in each group: body mass, anal temperature, tear secretion, tear film rupture time, and corneal fluorescein staining. Behavioral changes were evaluated by elevating cross-maze and open-field experiments. The levels of inflammatory factors serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin 1ß (IL-1ß), fcγR-mediated phagocytosis pathway cell division control protein 42 homolog (CDC42), actin-related protein 2/3 complex subunit 2 (ARPC2), and actin-related protein 3 (ACTR3) were measured by using Enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA), immunohistochemical staining, and real-time fluorescent qualitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). RESULTS: MDXP increased body mass and lowered body temperature, prolonged tear film break-up time, promoted tear secretion, repaired corneal damage, decreased horizontal and vertical scores, elevated percentage of open arm times and boom opening time percentage, and reduced the expression levels of inflammatory factors of TNF-α, IL-1ß and pathway-related proteins CDC42, ARPC2, and ACTR3 in mice. MDXP also reduced the expression levels of inflammatory factors of TNF-α and IL-1ß in human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs), mouse mononuclear macrophage cells (RAW264.7), and human myeloid leukemia mononuclear cells (THP-1). CONCLUSIONS: MDXP can relieve tension and anxiety, inhibit apoptosis, reduce phagocytosis, reduce the expression of pro-inflammatory factors, repair corneal damage, and improve the symptoms in DED mice. The mechanism of action may be through the fcγR-mediated phagocytosis pathway.

ABSTRACT

Accumulating evidence has shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are vital regulators of the expression of various genes in multiple human diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of glycolysis-associated lncRNA of colorectal cancer (GLCC1) in the progression of gastric carcinoma as well as the underlying mechanism. The expression levels of GLCC1 and c-Myc were determined in 47 pairs of gastric carcinoma tissues and cell lines using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Next, the functional roles of GLCC1 and c-Myc in the proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of gastric carcinoma cells (BGC823 and SGC7901 cells) were determined by siRNA-mediated knockdown of these molecules, and the cells were evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), flow cytometry, and Transwell assays. In addition, RIP and RNA pull-down assays were used to examine the interaction between GLCC1 and c-Myc/IGF2BP1. Further mechanistic studies were conducted using western blotting. lncRNA GLCC1 and c-Myc were observed to be significantly increased in both gastric carcinoma tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of GLCC1 or c-Myc suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion but promoted apoptosis in both the BGC823 and SGC7901 cell lines. Mechanistically, c-Myc was identified as a downstream regulator involved in the GLCC1-mediated biological effects in gastric carcinoma. The RNA pull-down and RIP assays further showed that the upregulation of lncRNA GLCC1 enhanced the interaction of the IGF2BP1 protein with c-Myc mRNA, thus promoting the stabilization of c-Myc mRNA. Altogether, we demonstrated that lncRNA GLCC1 modulates gastric cancer cell migration and invasion by enhancing the c-Myc/IGF2BP1 interaction, and lncRNA GLCC1 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for preventing the development and progression of human gastric carcinoma.

ABSTRACT

Febuxostat, as a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, is a classic anti-gout drug with significant therapeutic effects and good tolerability. The structures of febuxostat and its derivatives can be divided into two parts: a substituted phenyl ring and a five-membered or six-membered heterocyclic ring with a carboxyl substitution. This paper reviewed the research progress of febuxostat derivatives in recent ten years and classified the structure-activity relationships of various febuxostat derivatives. Exploring the action mechanisms and structure-activity relationships of xanthine oxidase inhibitors might be significant for the rational design and development of new anti-gout chemical entities.

ABSTRACT

A series of indazolyl-substituted piperidin-4-yl-aminopyrimidines (IPAPYs) were designed from two potent HIV-1 NNRTIs piperidin-4-yl-aminopyrimidine 3c and diaryl ether 4 as the lead compounds by molecular hybridization strategy. The target molecules 5a-q were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-HIV activities and cytotoxicities in MT-4 cells. 5a-q displayed moderate to excellent activities against wild-type (WT) HIV-1 with EC50 values ranging from 1.5 to 0.0064 µM. Among them, 5q was regarded as the most excellent compound against WT HIV-1 (EC50 = 6.4 nM, SI = 2500). And also, it displayed potent activities against K103 N (EC50 = 0.077 µM), Y181C (EC50 = 0.11 µM), E138K (EC50 = 0.057 µM), and moderate activity against double mutants RES056 (EC50 = 8.7 µM). Moreover, the structure-activity relationships (SARs) were summarized, and the molecular docking was performed to investigate the binding mode of IPAPYs and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Fluralaner, a novel pesticide that targets the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor (GABAR) subunit of resistant to dieldrin (RDL), exhibits strong potential to be an insecticide to control agricultural insect pests. However, the risk and action of fluralaner to economic insects, e.g., honeybee Apis mellifera Linnaeus, remains unclear. RESULTS: In this study, both oral and contact toxicity of fluralaner to honeybee were found to be 0.13 µg adult-1 . Abamectin, dieldrin, ethiprole, α-endosulfan, fipronil and fluralaner strongly inhibited the GABA-induced current in A. mellifera RDL (AmRDL), expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes, with median inhibitory concentration (IC50 ) values of 7.99, 868.1, 27.10, 412.0, 11.21 and 13.59 nM, respectively. The binding free energy and electrophysiological response of AmRDL and insecticides were opposite. The correlation values between toxicity (to A. mellifera) and binding free energy/electrophysiological inhibition (to AmRDL) were at a moderate level. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, we report for the first time the notable risk of fluralaner to honeybee in vivo and compared the actions of GABAR-targeted insecticides on the AmRDL receptor. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

ABSTRACT

Since the entrance channel was proposed as a new binding site in non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor binding pocket (NNIBP) of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) in 2012, a huge number of HIV-1 inhibitors acting on this target have sprung up, aiming to discover promising inhibitors with excellent antiviral activities, physicochemical properties, and so on. From 2012 to 2018, many noteworthy compounds have been continuously discovered. In this review, the recent progress in HIV-1 inhibitors targeting the entrance channel of HIV-1 NNIBP was summarized and reviewed, which would provide useful clues and inspiration for further design of HIV-1 inhibitors.

ABSTRACT

HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) have been playing an important role in the fight against acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Diarylpyrimidines (DAPYs) as the second generation NNRTIs, represented by etravirine (TMC125) and rilpivirine (TMC278), have attracted extensive attention due to their extraordinary potency, high specificity and low toxicity. However, the rapid emergence of drug-resistant virus strains and dissatisfactory pharmacokinetics of DAPYs present new challenges. In the past two decades, an increasing number of novel DAPY derivatives have emerged, which significantly enriched the structure-activity relationship of DAPYs. Studies of crystallography and molecular modeling have afforded a lot of useful information on structural requirements of NNRTIs, which contributes greatly to the improvement of their resistance profiles. In this review, we reviewed the discovery history and their evolution of DAPYs including their structural modification, derivatization and scaffold hopping in continuous pursuit of excellent anti-HIV drugs. And also, we discussed the prospect of DAPYs and the directions of future efforts.

ABSTRACT

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous pathogen that is the leading cause of chronic infections. Bacterial biofilm formation facilitates CF development and restricts the anti-bacterial potential of many current antibiotics. The capacity of P. aeruginosa to form biofilms and resist antibiotics is closely correlated with quorum sensing (QS). Disrupting QS by QS inhibitors is a promising strategy for treating chronic infections. Here, we evaluated the effect of hordenine, a recently characterized QS inhibitor, on the susceptibility of aminoglycoside antibiotics against P. aeruginosa biofilms. Hordenine significantly enhanced the susceptibility of aminoglycoside antibiotics tobramycin, gentamycin, and amikacin against P. aeruginosa PAO1 biofilm formation. Combinations of hordenine and aminoglycoside antibiotics showed potent efficiency in disrupting the preformed biofilms of P. aeruginosa. Microscopic observations showed flat, scattered, and unstructured biofilm architecture after treatment with hordenine. Mechanistic study further revealed that hordenine treatment led to the downregulation of genes involved in QS and biofilm formation. Thus, our results suggest that hordenine has the potential to function as an antibiotic accelerant in treating P. aeruginosa infections.

ABSTRACT

The study investigated the effects of Qingguang'an II (a Chinese medicinal preparation) on expressions of OX42 protein and interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) mRNA of retinal microglia cells of rats with chronic high intraocular pressure (IOP). SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, that were: A: blank group; B: model group; C: Qingguang'an II low dose group; D: Qingguang'an II medium dose group; E: Qingguang'an II high dose group; F: Yimaikang disket (a Chinese medicinal preparation) group. Experimental rats in B, C, D, E, F groups were established the model of chronic high IOP by cauterizing of superficial scleral vein. Tissues of eyes were obtained after intragastric administration for 2 and 4wk. At the time-point of 2wk, OX42 protein and IL-1ß mRNA in group B were statistically expressed in higher level comparing with other groups (P<0.05). Moreover, at the time-point of 4wk, OX42 protein and IL-1ß mRNA in groups C, D and E were statistically expressed in lower level comparing with group F (P<0.05). Besides, OX42 protein and IL-1ß mRNA in groups C and D were statistically expressed in higher level comparing with group E (P<0.05). OX42 protein and IL-1ß mRNA in groups C and D were expressed in similar level (P>0.05). The study indicated that, in the protection of optic nerve of rats with chronic high IOP, the high dose of Qingguang'an II at the time-point of 4wk was the better choice.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To establish an experimental model of acute cerebral schistosomiasis japonica and explore the MRI manifestations of acute cerebral schistosomiasis. METHODS: Rabbits were divided into 3 groups with 10 rabbits in each group. The rabbits in the experimental group were directly injected with suspension fluid of Schistosoma japonicum eggs (0.9 mg, 1 ml) by the cranial drilling method, those in the negative control group were given saline (1 ml) by the same method above-mentioned, and those in the blank control group were not given any treatment. Antibiotic was given to the first two groups after the operation. The clinical manifestations of the 3 groups were observed, and the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 30 days post-operation, and then the brain tissues were taken for pathological examinations. RESULTS: All the rabbits in the experimental group exhibited inappetence, various neurological symptoms including hemiplegia, and weight loss after the operation; while those in the negative control group showed inappetence in 3 days after the operation, and 1 week later, the symptom disappeared; there were no adverse reactions in the blank control group. MRI of the experimental group showed nodular or patchy enhancement on T1WI enhancement, brain edema, abnormal ventricular dilatation, and needle augmentation. SWI displayed hypointense in the abnormal enhanced nodules and flaky hypointense on the operation brain. In the negative control group, 2 rabbits showed abnormal enhancement of the needle canal, and 1 showed mild dilatation of the ventricle. The blank control group showed normal manifestations. The pathological examinations showed abnormal appearances in 10 rabbits of the experimental group, including 6 with S. japonicum egg granuloma nodules, nonspecific granuloma nodules coexisted with perivascular inflammation; no granuloma nodules were found in the negative control group, but 2 rabbits showed vascular inflammation; the blank control group showed the normal brain tissue. CONCLUSIONS: An experimental model of acute cerebral schistosomiasis is successfully established in rabbits by intracranial injection of schistosome eggs. The MRI examination combined with the clinical manifestations can improve the accuracy of early diagnosis of cerebral schistosomiasis.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate clinical usefulness of computed tomography perfusion imaging (CTPI) in gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty subjects without gastric diseases (control group) and fifty patients with gastric cancer were studied prospectively using CTPI examinations. Four perfusion parameter values, i.e., blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), mean transit time, and permeability surface (PS), were calculated. The gastric cancer group was divided into three groups: well differentiated, moderately differentiated, and poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma. RESULTS: Comparing the three groups, differences between the well-differentiated group and the moderately differentiated group or the poorly differentiated group were all statistically significant for BF, BV, and PS. CONCLUSION: The BF, BV, and PS values could serve as indicators of the degree of malignancy of gastric cancer.
