RESUMEN
Chemotherapy-induced side effects affect the quality of life and efficacy of treatment of cancer patients. Current approaches for treating the side effects of chemotherapy are poorly effective and may cause numerous harmful side effects. Therefore, developing new and effective drugs derived from natural non-toxic compounds for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced side effects is necessary. Experiments in vivo and in vitro indicate that Panax ginseng (PG) and its ginsenosides are undoubtedly non-toxic and effective options for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced side effects, such as nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, immunotoxicity, and hematopoietic inhibition. The mechanism focus on anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, and anti-apoptosis, as well as the modulation of signaling pathways, such as nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), P62/keap1/Nrf2, c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/P53/caspase 3, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MKK4)/JNK, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT. Since a systemic review of the effect and mechanism of PG and its ginsenosides on chemotherapy-induced side effects has not yet been published, we provide a comprehensive summarization with this aim and shed light on the future research of PG.
RESUMEN
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Danggui Buxue Decoction (DBD) as a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been widely used to treat blood deficiency. With the immune regulation and hematopoietic effect, DBD improved the quality of life in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. We previously reported that DBD sensitized the response of NSCLC to Gemcitabine (Gem); however, the synergism and attenuation mechanism on the combination of Gem and DBD has not yet been elucidated. AIM OF THE STUDY: To investigate the mechanisms of DBD in enhancing the anticancer activity of Gem and alleviating Gem-induced myelosuppression. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A549 nude mice model was established to study the effect on the combination of Gem and DBD. The organ indices, peripheral blood cells and the hematopoiesis-related cytokines were analyzed in Gem-induced myelosuppressive mice. Then we studied the whole process from Gem-induced bone marrow suppression to self-healing, and the mechanism of DBD's attenuation by the experiments of bone marrow nucleated cells (BMNCs). RESULTS: There were an enhanced anticancer effect and an improvement of hematopoietic function by combining of Gem and DBD in A549 nude mice model. DBD regulated Hu antigen R (HuR), deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2), increased the expression of thrombopoietin (TPO) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). For Gem-induced myelosuppressive mice, DBD improved the number of peripheral blood cells and the levels of hematopoiesis-related cytokines. Moreover, DBD was observed to reduce deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content at the G1 phase, promoted BMNCs proliferation and up-regulated cycle-related proteins. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicated that DBD not only improved the sensitivity of Gem but also alleviated Gem-induced myelosuppression. This study may provide a pharmacological basis for the combination of DBD and Gem in clinical application.

OBJECTIVE: To study the improvement effects of Shenshao yiqi yangxue granule on experimental aplastic anemia (AA) in mice and the preventive and therapeutic effects of it on myelosuppressive in mice. METHODS: Totally 72 mice were randomly divided into blank group (normal saline), model group (normal saline), positive control group (Yixuesheng capsule, 0.625 g/kg in content), Shenshao yiqi yangxue granule low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (1.26, 7.56, 15.12 g/kg by crude drug), with 12 mice in each group. Except for blank group, other groups were given 60Co-γ irradiation combined with intraperitoneal injection of CTX to induce AA model. After modeling, they were given relevant medicine intragastrically once a day, for consecutive 7 d. After 6 days of administration, the mice were placed on a treadmill for exhaustion test, and the exhaustion distance and exhaustion time were measured. After 7 days of administration, the changes of peripheral blood (the number of RBC, WBC, PLT and content of HGB) were determined of mice in each group. The percentage of reticulocyte (Ret) was measured after blood smear, and the number of bone marrow nucleated cells (BMNC) was determined after bone marrow smear. Another 90 mice were collected, grouped and given relevant medicine as above, with 15 mice in each group. They were relevant medicine intragastrically once a day, for consecutive 12 d. After 3 days of administration, except for blank group, other groups were given 5-fluorouracil intraperitoneally to induce the bone marrow suppression model at the beginning of medication. After medication, peripheral hemogram, Ret and the number of BMNC were determined in each group. RESULTS: Compared with blank group, the exhaustion distance and exhaustion time of AA model group were significantly decreased (P<0.01), while the number of RBC, WBC, PLT and content of HGB, Ret and the number of BMNC were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group, the exhaustion distance and exhaustion time of positive control group and Shenshao yiqi yangxue granule medium-dose and high-dose groups were increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the peripheral hemogram indicators, Ret and the number of BMNC were increased significantly in positive control group and Shenshao yiqi yangxue granule high-dose group, and Ret of Shenshao yiqi yangxue granule medium-dose group was increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In bone marrow suppression model, compared with blank group, the number of WBC, RBC and PLT, Ret, the number of BMNC were decreased significantly in model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group, the number of WBC, RBC and PLT, Ret and the number of BMNC in peripheral blood were increased significantly in positive control group and Shenshao yiqi yangxue granule high-dose group, and the number of RBC, Ret and the number of BMNC were increased significantly in Shenshao yiqi yangxue granule medium-dose group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Shenshao yiqi yangxue granule has certain improvement effects on AA in mice, and can prevent and treat myelosuppression in mice.
