Research of the dynamic regulatory mechanism of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills on myocardial infarction based on metabolic trajectory analysis. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 130:155626. [PMID: 38850631 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) is a serious cardiovascular disease, which presents different pathophysiological changes with the prolongation of the disease. Compound danshen dripping pills (CDDP) has obvious advantages in MI treatment and widely used in the clinic. However, the current studies were mostly focused on the endpoint of CDDP intervention, lacking the dynamic attention to the disease process. It is of great value to establish a dynamic research strategy focused on the changes in pharmacodynamic substances for guiding clinical medication more precisely. PURPOSE It is aimed to explore the dynamic regulating pattern of CDDP on MI based on metabolic trajectory analysis, and then clarify the variation characteristic biomarkers and pharmacodynamic substances in the intervention process. METHODS The MI model was successfully prepared by coronary artery left anterior descending branch ligation, and then CDDP intervention was given for 28 days. Endogenous metabolites and the components of CDDP in serum were measured by LC/MS technique simultaneously to identify dynamic the metabolic trajectory and screen the characteristic pharmacodynamic substances at different points. Finally, network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques were used to simulate the core pharmacodynamic substances and core target binding, then validated at the genetic and protein level by Q-PCR and western blotting technology. RESULTS CDDP performed typical dynamic regulation features on metabolite distribution, biological processes, and pharmacodynamic substances. During 1-7 days, it mainly regulated lipid metabolism and inflammation, the Phosphatidylcholine (PC(18:1(9Z/18:1(9Z)) and Sphingomyelin (SM(d18:1/23:1(9Z)), SM(d18:1/24:1(15Z)), SM(d18:0/16:1(9Z))) were the main characteristic biomarkers. Lipid metabolism was the mainly regulation pathway during 14-21 days, and the characteristic biomarkers were the Lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LysoPE(0:0/20:0), PE-NMe2(22:1(13Z)/15:0)) and Sphingomyelin (SM(d18:1/23:1(9Z))). At 28 days, in addition to inflammatory response and lipid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism also played the most important role. Correspondingly, Lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC(20:0/0:0)), Lysophosphatidylserine (LPS(18:0/0:0)) and Fatty acids (Linoelaidic acid) were the characteristic biomarkers. Based on the results of metabolite distribution and biological process, the characteristic pharmacodynamic substances during the intervention were further identified. The results showed that various kinds of Saponins and Tanshinones as the important active ingredients performed a long-range regulating effect on MI. And the other components, such as Tanshinol and Salvianolic acid B affected Phosphatidylcholine and Sphingomyelin through Relaxin Signaling pathway during the early intervention. Protocatechualdehyde and Rosmarinic acid affected Lysophosphatidylethanolamine and Sphingomyelin through EGFR Tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance during the late intervention. Tanshinone IIB and Isocryptotanshinone via PPAR signaling pathway affected Lysophosphatidylcholine, Lysophosphatidylserine, and Fatty acids. CONCLUSION The dynamic regulating pattern was taken as the entry point and constructs the dynamic network based on metabolic trajectory analysis, establishes the dynamic correlation between the drug-derived components and the endogenous metabolites, and elucidates the characteristic biomarkers affecting the changes of the pharmacodynamic indexes, systematically and deeply elucidate the pharmacodynamic substance and mechanism of CDDP on MI. It also enriched the understanding of CDDP and provided a methodological reference for the dynamic analysis of complex systems of TCM.

[PMID: 38583735 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Ischemic heart diseases (IHD), characterized by metabolic dysregulation, contributes majorly to the global morbidity and mortality. Glucose, lipid and amino acid metabolism are critical energy production for cardiomyocytes, and disturbances of these metabolism lead to the cardiac injury. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), widely used for treating IHD, have been demonstrated to effectively and safely regulate the cardiac metabolism reprogramming. AIM OF THE REVIEW This study discussed and analyzed the disturbed cardiac metabolism induced by IHD and development of formulas, extracts, single herb, bioactive compounds of TCM ameliorating IHD injury via metabolism regulation, with the aim of providing a basis for the development of clinical application of therapeutic strategies for TCM in IHD. MATERIALS AND METHODS With "ischemic heart disease", "myocardial infarction", "myocardial ischemia", "metabolomics", "Chinese medicine", "herb", "extracts" "medicinal plants", "glucose", "lipid metabolism", "amino acid" as the main keywords, PubMed, Web of Science, and other online search engines were used for literature retrieval. RESULTS IHD exhibits a close association with metabolism disorders, including but not limited to glycolysis, the TCA cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, branched-chain amino acids, fatty acid β-oxidation, ketone body metabolism, sphingolipid and glycerol-phospholipid metabolism. The therapeutic potential of TCM lies in its ability to regulate these disturbed cardiac metabolisms. Additionally, the active ingredients of TCM have depicted wonderful effects in cardiac metabolism reprogramming in IHD. CONCLUSION Drawing from the principles of TCM, we have pinpointed specific herbal remedies for the treatment of IHD, and leveraged advanced metabolomics technologies to uncover the effect of these TCMs on metabolomics alteration. In the future, further clinical experimental studies should be included to explore whether more TCM medicines can play a therapeutic role in IHD by reversing cardiac metabolism disorders; multi-omics would be conducted to explore more pathways and genes targeting such metabolism reprogramming by TCMs, and to seek more TCM therapies for IHD.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a set of heart and blood vessel disorders that include coronary heart disease (CHD), rheumatic heart disease, and other conditions. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has definite effects on CVDs due to its multitarget and multicomponent properties, which are gradually gaining national attention. Tanshinones, the major active chemical compounds extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza, exhibit beneficial improvement on multiple diseases, especially CVDs. At the level of biological activities, they play significant roles, including anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, anti-apoptosis and anti-necroptosis, anti-hypertrophy, vasodilation, angiogenesis, combat against proliferation and migration of smooth muscle cells (SMCs), as well as anti-myocardial fibrosis and ventricular remodeling, which are all effective strategies in preventing and treating CVDs. Additionally, at the cellular level, Tanshinones produce marked effects on cardiomyocytes, macrophages, endothelia, SMCs, and fibroblasts in myocardia. In this review, we have summarized a brief overview of the chemical structures and pharmacological effects of Tanshinones as a CVD treatment to expound on different pharmacological properties in various cell types in myocardia.

Abstract
Leonurine has been shown to have excellent anti-myocardial ischemia effects. Our previous studies suggested that cardiac protection by leonurine during myocardial ischemia appeared to be inextricably linked to its regulation of the liver. At present, however, there are few mechanistic studies of leonurine and its regulation of hepatic metabolism against ischemic injury. In this study, a metabolomics approach was developed to give a global view of the metabolic profiles of the heart and liver during myocardial ischemia. Principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discrimination analysis were applied to filter differential metabolites, and a debiased sparse partial correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of the differential metabolites between heart and liver. As a result, a total of thirty-one differential metabolites were identified, six in the myocardial tissue and twenty-five in the hepatic tissue, involving multiple metabolic pathways including glycine, serine and threonine, purine, fatty acid, and amino acid metabolic pathways. Correlation analysis revealed a net of these differential metabolites, suggesting an interaction between hepatic and myocardial metabolism. These results suggest that leonurine may reduce myocardial injury during myocardial ischemia by regulating the metabolism of glycine, serine and threonine, purine, fatty acids, and amino acids in the liver and heart.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chinese herbal medicine is widely used as a complement or alternative treatment in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in China. We compared the incidence of the major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) of CAD patients with or without the complement use of Chinese herbal medicine after PCI. METHODS In this prospective, observational study that was conducted from September 2016 to August 2019 in Fuwai Hospital (China), we followed up consecutive patients who received PCI treatment for two years. MACE was defined as the composite all-cause mortality, revascularization, and myocardial infarction (MI) and was compared between those using (integrative medicine group) or those not using Chinese herbal medicine as an additional treatment to standard Western medicine, with unadjusted (Kaplan-Meier curves) and risk-adjusted (multivariable Cox regression) analyses. RESULTS A total of 5942 patients after PCI were enrolled in this study, and 5453 patients were included in the final analysis (4189 [76.8%] male; mean age: 61.9 ± 9.9% years). During the follow-ups, 2932 (53.8%) patients used only Western medicine while 2521(46.2%) patients had used Chinese herbal medicine as an additional treatment to standard Western medicine. Patients in the integrative medicine group (IM group) were older than the Western medicine group (WM group), had more females and less previous MI. The incidence of MACE was 15.3% (449/2932) in WM group and 11.54% (291/2521) in IM group. Cox regression analysis showed that cumulative incidence of MACE was 27% lower in patients of the IM group than those in WM group (hazard ratio = 0.73; 95% CI: 0.63-0.85; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS For CAD patients after PCI treatment, complement use of Chinese herbal medicine is associated with a lower 2-year MACE incidence. Randomized prospective studies are warranted to provide higher levels of benefit evidence in these patients.

LC-MS-based metabolomics reveals metabolic changes in short- and long-term administration of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills against acute myocardial infarction in rats. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 104:154269. [PMID: 35717805 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.154269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2022] [Revised: 06/04/2022] [Accepted: 06/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mild and systematically improving multiple metabolic disorders was a focused view for Compound Danshen Dripping Pills playing synergistic effects through multiple components and multiple targets. The difference in overall therapeutic effects and endogenous metabolic regulation between short- and long-term administration was still unclear. PURPOSE This study aimed to explore the difference in endogenous metabolic regulation between short- and long-term Compound Danshen Dripping Pills (CDDP) administration against acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS The model of AMI was induced by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. The cardiac protection effects of CDDP were investigated by echocardiography, 1- or 2-week were defined as short- and long-term based on desirable efficacy variability. The entire metabolic changes between short- and long-term administration of CDDP were profiled by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS. In addition, the metabolic regulatory network of CDDP administration against myocardial infarction rats was also compared with those of a typical chemical drug isosorbide 5-mononitrate (ISMN). RESULTS After 1- or 2-week continuous oral administration, CDDP could significantly alleviate AMI-induced cardiac dysfunction. By using LC-MS-based metabolomics analyses, we systematically investigated the metabolic profiles of plasma and heart tissue samples at fixed exposure time-points (2 h, 24 h) from AMI rats with CDDP treatment. Most interestingly, global endogenous metabolic changes were observed in cardiac samples collected at different stages post consecutive CDDP administration, fluctuating at 2 and 24 h after 1 week but stabilizing after 2 weeks. The disrupted metabolic pathways such as glycerophospholipid, amino acids, fatty acids, and arachidonic acid metabolism were reconstructed after both short- and long-term CDDP treatment, while taurine and hypotaurine metabolism and purine metabolism contributed to the whole efficacy after long-term CDDP administration. CONCLUSION Long-term CDDP treatment plays prolonged and stable efficacy against AMI compared with short-term treatment by specifically regulating purine and taurine and hypotaurine metabolism and systematically redressing metabolic disorders.

A novel hybrid scan approach enabling the ion-mobility separation and the alternate data-dependent and data-independent acquisitions (HDDIDDA): Its combination with off-line two-dimensional liquid chromatography for comprehensively characterizing the multicomponents from Compound Danshen Dripping Pill. Anal Chim Acta 2022; 1193:339320. [PMID: 35058017 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2021.339320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2021] [Revised: 11/22/2021] [Accepted: 11/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Data-dependent acquisition (DDA) and data-independent acquisition (DIA)-based MSn strategies are extensively applied in metabolites characterization. DDA gives accurate MSn information, but receives low coverage, while DIA covers the entire mass range, but the precursor-product ions matching often yields false positives. Currently available MS scan approaches rarely integrate DIA and DDA within a duty circle. Utilizing a Vion™ IM-QTOF (ion mobility-quadrupole time-of-flight) mass spectrometer, we report a novel hybrid scan approach, namely HDDIDDA, which involves three scan events: 1) IM-enabled full scan (MS1), 2) high-definition MSE (HDMSE) of all precursor ions (MS2); and 3) high-definition DDA (HDDDA) of top N precursors (MS2). As a proof-of-concept, the HDDIDDA approach combined with off-line two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) was applied to characterize the multiple ingredients from a reputable Chinese patent medicine, Compound Danshen Dripping Pill (CDDP) used for treating the cardiovascular diseases. An off-line 2D-LC system by configuring an XBridge Amide column and an HSS T3 column showed a measurable orthogonality of 0.92 and enhanced the separation of co-eluting components. A fit-for-purpose HDDIDDA methodology was developed in the negative mode to characterize saponins and salvianolic acids, while tanshinones in the positive mode. Computational workflows to efficiently process the acquired HDMSE and HDDDA data were established, and the searching of an in-house CDDP library (recording 712 compounds) eventually characterized 403 components from CDDP, indicating approximate 12-fold improvement compared with the previous report. The HDDIDDA approach can measure collision cross section of each component, and merges the merits of DIA and DDA in MS2 data acquisition.

Compound Danshen Dripping Pill ameliorates post ischemic myocardial inflammation through synergistically regulating MAPK, PI3K/AKT and PPAR signaling pathways. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 281:114438. [PMID: 34390798 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2021] [Revised: 07/13/2021] [Accepted: 07/17/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Compound Danshen Dripping Pill (CDDP), composed of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, Panax notoginseng (Burkill) F.H. Chen and Borneol, is a famous traditional Chinese medicine formula which has made great achievements in the treatment of ischemic heart disease, but the profound mechanism of CDDP improving post ischemic myocardial inflammation hasn't been clearly discussed. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to explore the biological mechanism of constituents in CDDP synergistically improving post ischemic myocardial inflammation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The pharmacologic studies were applied to assess the cardio protection effect of CDDP in acute myocardial ischemic rats. To identify the anti-inflammatory ingredients in CDDP, an ultra-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry combined with a dual-luciferase reporter assay for NF-κB inhibition were used. The network pharmacology and molecular docking assay were adopted to predict targets of anti-inflammatory ingredients and then the regulation effects of these active components on their targets were also verified. RESULTS Our results indicated that CDDP exerted an excellent cardio protection effect by reversing echocardiographic abnormalities, attenuating histopathological lesion, ameliorating circulating myocardial markers and inflammation cytokines. Tanshinol, salvianolic acid B (Sal B), tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) and notoginsenoside R1 (NGR1) were the pivotal anti-inflammatory ingredients in CDDP. The anti-inflammatory mechanism is that tanshinol and Sal B respectively targeted on PPARγ and JNK, while Tan IIA worked on AKT1 and NGR1 bound to PI3K. CONCLUSIONS Our results firstly demonstrated that CDDP effectively ameliorated post ischemic myocardial inflammation through simultaneously modulating MAPK, PI3K/AKT and PPAR pathways in a multi-components synergetic manner.

Quantitative Proteomics Reveal That Metabolic Improvement Contributes to the Cardioprotective Effect of T 89 on Isoproterenol-Induced Cardiac Injury. Front Physiol 2021; 12:653349. [PMID: 34262469 PMCID: PMC8273540 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2021.653349] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background T89, a traditional Chinese medicine, has passed phase II, and is undergoing phase III clinical trials for treatment of ischemic cardiovascular disease by the US FDA. However, the role of T89 on isoproterenol (ISO)-induced cardiac injury is unknown. The present study aimed to explore the effect and underlying mechanism of T89 on ISO-induced cardiac injury. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats received subcutaneous injection of ISO saline solution at 24 h intervals for the first 3 days and then at 48 h intervals for the next 12 days. T89 at dose of 111.6 and 167.4 mg/kg was administrated by gavage for 15 consecutive days. Rat survival rate, cardiac function evaluation, morphological observation, quantitative proteomics, and Western blotting analysis were performed. Results T89 obviously improved ISO-induced low survival rate, attenuated ISO-evoked cardiac injury, as evidenced by myocardial blood flow, heart function, and morphology. Quantitative proteomics revealed that the cardioprotective effect of T89 relied on the regulation of metabolic pathways, including glycolipid metabolism and energy metabolism. T89 inhibited the enhancement of glycolysis, promoted fatty acid oxidation, and restored mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation by regulating Eno1, Mcee, Bdh1, Ces1c, Apoc2, Decr1, Acaa2, Cbr4, ND2, Cox 6a, Cox17, ATP5g, and ATP5j, thus alleviated oxidative stress and energy metabolism disorder and ameliorated cardiac injury after ISO. The present study also verified that T89 significantly restrained ISO-induced increase of HSP70/HSP40 and suppressed the phosphorylation of ERK, further restored the expression of CX43, confirming the protective role of T89 in cardiac hypertrophy. Proteomics data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD024641. Conclusion T89 reduced mortality and improves outcome in the model of ISO-induced cardiac injury and the cardioprotective role of T89 is correlated with the regulation of glycolipid metabolism, recovery of mitochondrial function, and improvement of myocardial energy.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is the advanced heart disease with high morbidity and mortality. Compound DanShen Dripping Pill (CDDP) is a widely used Traditional Chinese Medicine for cardiovascular disease treatment. Herein, we investigated if CDDP can protect mice against doxorubicin (DOX) or isoprenaline (ISO)-induced HF. After 3 days feeding of normal chow containing CDDP, mice were started DOX or ISO treatment for 4 weeks or 18 days. At the end of treatment, mice were conducted electrocardiogram and echocardiographic test. Blood and heart samples were determined biochemical parameters, myocardial structure and expression of the related molecules. CDDP normalized DOX/ISO-induced heart weight changes, HF parameters and fibrogenesis. The DOX/ISO-impaired left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening were restored by CDDP. Mechanistically, CDDP blocked DOX/ISO-inhibited expression of antioxidant enzymes and DOX/ISO-induced expression of pro-fibrotic molecules, inflammation and cell apoptosis. Additional DOX/ISO-impaired targets in cardiac function but protected by CDDP were identified by RNAseq, qRT-PCR and Western blot. In addition, CDDP protected cardiomyocytes against oxygen-glucose deprivation-induced injuries. Taken together, our study shows that CDDP can protect against myocardial injuries in different models, suggesting its potential application for HF treatment.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:652746. [PMID: 33969016 PMCID: PMC8103546 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.652746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2021] [Accepted: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and knowing the early warning signs of MI is lifesaving. To expand our knowledge of MI, we analyzed plasma metabolites in MI and non-MI chest pain cases to identify markers for alerting about MI occurrence based on metabolomics. A total of 230 volunteers were recruited, consisting of 146 chest pain patients admitted with suspected MI (85 MIs and 61 non-MI chest pain cases) and 84 control individuals. Non-MI cardiac chest pain cases include unstable angina (UA), myocarditis, valvular heart diseases, etc. The blood samples of all suspected MI cases were collected not longer than 6 h since the onset of chest pain. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry were applied to identify and quantify the plasma metabolites. Multivariate statistical analysis was utilized to analyze the data, and principal component analysis showed MI could be clearly distinguished from non-MI chest pain cases (including UA and other cases) in the scores plot of metabolomic data, better than that based on the data constructed with medical history and clinical biochemical parameters. Pathway analysis highlighted an upregulated methionine metabolism and downregulated arginine biosynthesis in MI cases. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and adjusted odds ratio (OR) were calculated to evaluate potential markers for the diagnosis and prediction ability of MI (MI vs. non-MI cases). Finally, gene expression profiles from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were briefly discussed to study differential metabolites' connection with plasma transcriptomics. Deoxyuridine (dU), homoserine, and methionine scored highly in ROC analysis (AUC > 0.91), sensitivity (>80%), and specificity (>94%), and they were correlated to LDH and AST (p < 0.05). OR values suggested, after adjusting for gender, age, lipid levels, smoking, type II diabetes, and hypertension history, that high levels of dU of positive logOR = 3.01, methionine of logOR = 3.48, and homoserine of logOR = 1.61 and low levels of isopentenyl diphosphate (IDP) of negative logOR = -5.15, uracil of logOR = -2.38, and arginine of logOR = -0.82 were independent risk factors of MI. Our study highlighted that metabolites belonging to pyrimidine, methionine, and arginine metabolism are deeply influenced in MI plasma samples. dU, homoserine, and methionine are potential markers to recognize MI cases from other cardiac chest pain cases after the onset of chest pains. Individuals with high plasma abundance of dU, homoserine, or methionine have increased risk of MI, too.

An Integrative Pharmacology-Based Strategy to Uncover the Mechanism of Xiong-Pi-Fang in Treating Coronary Heart Disease with Depression. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:590602. [PMID: 33867976 PMCID: PMC8048422 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.590602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2020] [Accepted: 02/11/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to explore the mechanism of Xiong-Pi-Fang (XPF) in the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD) with depression by an integrative strategy combining serum pharmacochemistry, network pharmacology analysis, and experimental validation. Methods: An ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS) method was constructed to identify compounds in rat serum after oral administration of XPF, and a component-target network was established using Cytoscape, between the targets of XPF ingredients and CHD with depression. Furthermore, Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses were performed to deduce the mechanism of XPF in treating CHD with depression. Finally, in a chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-and isoproterenol (ISO)-induced rat model, TUNEL was used to detect the apoptosis index of the myocardium and hippocampus, ELISA and western blot were used to detect the predicted hub targets, namely AngII, 5-HT, cAMP, PKA, CREB, BDNF, Bcl-2, Bax, Cyt-c, and caspase-3. Results: We identified 51 compounds in rat serum after oral administration of XPF, which mainly included phenolic acids, saponins, and flavonoids. Network pharmacology analysis revealed that XPF may regulate targets, such as ACE2, HTR1A, HTR2A, AKT1, PKIA, CREB1, BDNF, BCL2, BAX, CASP3, cAMP signaling pathway, and cell apoptosis process in the treatment of CHD with depression. ELISA analysis showed that XPF decreased Ang-II content in the circulation and central nervous system, inhibited 5-HT levels in peripheral circulation, and increased 5-HT content in the central nervous system and cAMP content in the myocardia and hippocampus. Meanwhile, western blot analysis indicated that XPF could upregulate the expression levels of PKA, CREB, and BDNF both in the myocardia and hippocampus. TUNEL staining indicated that the apoptosis index of myocardial and hippocampal cells increased in CUMS-and ISO-induced CHD in rats under depression, and XPF could increase the expression of Bcl-2, inhibit the expression of Bax, Cyt-c, and caspase-3, and rectify the injury of the hippocampus and myocardium, which exerted antidepressant and antimyocardial ischemia effects. Conclusion: Our study proposed an integrated strategy, combining serum pharmacochemistry and network pharmacology to investigate the mechanisms of XPF in treating CHD with depression. The mechanism of XPF in treating CHD with depression may be related to the activation of the cAMP signaling pathway and the inhibition of the apoptosis.

Abstract
Borneol can enhance the bioavailability of several other drugs by opening the blood-brain barrier and inhibiting P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux. However, whether borneol will impact the bioavailability and the mechanism of compound Danshen colon-specific osmotic pump capsule (CDCOPC) remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the effects of borneol on the in vitro release and in vivo pharmacokinetic characteristics of CDCOPC. Besides, the in vitro release behavior of CDCOPC was further assessed by chromatographic fingerprints. The in vitro release studies showed that borneol followed the zero-order release and hardly impacted the in vitro release of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Panax notoginseng in CDCOPC. Moreover, as revealed from the similarity results of fingerprints, the in vitro release of different components of CDCOPC was almost simultaneous. Compared with the commercially available tablets, the pharmacokinetics studies suggested that both CDCOPCs containing and lacking borneol could significantly prolong the retention time of these effective components; their average relative bioavailability values increased to 448.70% and 350.97%, respectively. Notably, borneol significantly improved the relative bioavailability of some components of CDCOPC, such as salvianolic acid B (SAB), tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA), notoginsenoside R1 (R1), ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1), and ginsenoside Re (Re) from CDCOPC, while it slightly impacted ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1) and ginsenoside Rd (Rd). Summarily, borneol is capable of improving the bioavailability of some effective components in CDCOPC, which is critical to design with CDCOPC for enhanced bioavailability. This study could also help reveal the composition principle of the compound Danshen formula (CDF).

Abstract
The liver is the pivotal metabolic organ primarily responsible for metabolic activities, detoxification and regulation of carbohydrate, protein, amino acid, and lipid metabolism. However, very little is known about the complicated pathophysiologic mechanisms of liver injury result from ionizing radiation exposure. Therefore, a pseudotargeted metabolomics approach based on gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with selected reaction monitoring (GC-MS-SRM) was developed to study metabolic alterations of liver tissues in radiation-induced hepatic injury. The pseudotargeted GC-MS-SRM method was validated with satisfactory analytical characteristics in terms of precision, linearity, sensitivity and recovery. Compared to the SIM-based approach, the SRM scanning method had mildly better precision, higher sensitivity, and wider linear ranges. A total of 37 differential metabolites associated with radiation-induced hepatic injury were identified using the GC-MS-SRM metabolomics method. Global metabolic clustering analysis showed that amino acids, carbohydrates, unsaturated fatty acids, organic acids, metabolites associated with pyrimidine metabolism, ubiquinone biosynthesis and oxidative phosphorylation appeared significantly declined after high dose irradiation exposure, whereas metabolites related to lysine catabolism, glycerolipid metabolism and glutathione metabolism presented the opposite behavior. These changes indicate energy deficiency, antioxidant defense damage, accumulation of ammonia and lipid oxidation of liver tissues in response to radiation exposure. It is shown that the developed pseudotargeted method based on GC-MS-SRM is a useful tool for metabolomics study.

Abstract
With increasing tumor incidence, anemia (categorized as a blood deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine) caused by chemotherapy has become a major side effect worldwide. Gei Herba, a traditional Miao nation herb, has a prominent effect on the treatment of blood deficiency (BD). However, its application is limited owing to little fundamental research. Therefore, a GC-MS metabolomic approach was used to study the protective effect of aqueous extract from Gei Herba (AEG) on BD mice and its putative mechanism. In this study, 32 male mice were divided into four groups: a control group, a BD model group, and two groups subjected to AEG treatment at a daily dose of 0.15 or 0.30 g kg−1 for 8 d. After AEG treatment, the HGB and HCT levels in the blood of BD mice were significantly increased, the activity of superoxide dismutase was increased, and the histomorphology of the liver was improved. Furthermore, compared with those in the model group, the levels of eight significant metabolites [phosphoric acid, glycine, l-proline, ribitol, (Z,Z)-9,12-octadecadienoic acid, oleic acid, uridine and 4B2H-carbamic acid] in the liver were significantly changed by AEG. The findings of this study provide sound evidence regarding the protective effects of AEG in BD mice from both classical and metabolomic perspectives. The mechanisms of action of AEG could be related to regulation of linoleic acid metabolism and that of glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism. The protective effect and mechanism of Gei Herba in BD mice were revealed by classical and metabolomic perspectives.![]()
