Abstract
Danshen injection (DI) is effective in treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, including ischemic stroke (IS), including IS, but its mechanism is unclear. A middle cerebral artery occlusion model was used to simulate ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in SD rats. Overexpression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) was achieved by AAV-HIF-1α. Rats were treated with DI or saline. Neurological scores and infarction rates were assessed. I/R damage was examined by HE, 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium and Nissl stainings. Expression levels of relative proteins [TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, SOD, MDA, ROS, HIF-1α, CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and NF-κB] were measured. DI treatment improved neurological scores and reduced infarction rates, suggesting that it inhibits inflammation and oxidative stress. The expression levels of HIF-1α, CXCR4 and NF-κB were decreased. However, the effectiveness of DI on inflammation inhibition was lost after HIF-1α overexpression. DI may directly target HIF-1α to suppress neuroinflammation and reduce I/R injury by suppressing the HIF-1α/CXCR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Research status of pathogenesis of anxiety or depression after percutaneous coronary intervention and Traditional Chinese Medicine intervention. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 327:118017. [PMID: 38462028 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118017] [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: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
ETHNIC PHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Anxiety or depression after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a common clinical disease. Currently, conventional pharmacotherapy primarily involves the administration of anxiolytic or antidepressant medications in conjunction with anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, and other cardiovascular drugs. However, challenges such as drug dependence, adverse reactions and related concerns persist in the treatment of this disease. Numerous pertinent studies have demonstrated that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) exhibits significant therapeutic efficacy and distinctive advantages in managing post-PCI anxiety or depression. AIM OF THIS REVIEW This review attempted to summarize the characteristics of TCM for treating anxiety or depression after PCI, including single Chinese herbs, Chinese medicine monomers, compound TCM prescriptions, TCM patented drugs, and other TCM-related treatment methods, focusing on the analysis of the relevant mechanism of TCM treatment of this disease. METHODS By searching the literature on treating anxiety or depression after PCI with TCM in PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, and other relevant databases, this review focuses on the latest research progress of TCM treatment of this disease. RESULTS In the treatment of anxiety or depression after PCI, TCM exerts significant pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-anxiety or anti-depression, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protection, and neuroprotection, mainly by regulating the levels of related inflammatory factors, oxidative stress markers, neurotransmitter levels, and related signaling pathways. TCM has a good clinical effect in treating anxiety or depression after PCI with individualized treatment. CONCLUSIONS TCM has terrific potential and good prospects in the treatment of anxiety or depression after PCI. The main direction of future exploration is the study of the mechanism related to Chinese medicine monomers and the large sample clinical study related to compound TCM prescriptions.

Ameliorative effect of anisodamine (654-1/654-2) against myocardial dysfunction induced by septic shock via the NF-κB/NLRP-3 or the PI3K-AKT/NF-κB pathway. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 123:155277. [PMID: 38128396 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.155277] [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: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Septic shock, an extremely dangerous condition that causes impairment of organ function, always largely contributes to mortality in intensive care units. The impact of septic shock-induced organ damage on morbidity and mortality is substantially influenced by myocardial dysfunction. However, it remains unclear whether and in what manner anisodamine (654-1/654-2) ameliorates myocardial dysfunction caused by septic shock. PURPOSE This study is the pioneering investigation and validation about the protective efficacy of anisodamine (654-1/654-2) against LPS-induced myocardial dysfunction in septic shock rats. It also aims to explore the differences in the underlying molecular mechanisms of both drugs. METHODS A septic shock model was established in SD rats by after tail vein administration of LPS. 64 rats were distributed into eight groups, such as LPS group, control group, LPS+654-1 group (1.25, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg), and LPS+654-2 group (1.25, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg). The hemodynamics, echocardiography, immunohistochemical analysis, TEM, TUNEL assay, and H&E staining were utilized to assess the septic shock model and myocardial function. Lactic acid, inflammatory markers (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), endothelial injure markers (SDC-1, HS and TM) and myocardial injury markers (CK, c-TNT and NT-pro BNP) were assessed using ELISA or biochemical kits. Additionally, the mechanisms of 654-1/654-2 were analyzed using RNA-seq and bioinformatics, and validated using western blotting and RT-PCR. RESULTS Administration of 654-1/654-2 significantly restored hemodynamics and improved myocardial and endothelial glycocalyx injury in septic shock rats. Furthermore, 654-1/654-2 dose-dependently reduced plasma levels of lactic acid, inflammatory cytokines, and markers of endothelial and myocardial injury. Analyses using RNA-seq, WB and RT-PCR techniques indicated that 654-1/654-2 could mitigate myocardial and endothelial injury by inhibiting the NF-κB and NLRP-3 pathways, and activating the PI3K-AKT pathway. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrated that 654-1/654-2 could alleviate myocardial damage in septic shock rats. Specifically, 654-1 inhibited the NF-κB/NLRP-3 pathway, whereas 654-2 promoted the PI3K-AKT pathway and inhibited the NF-κB pathway, effectively mitigating the inflammatory response and cell apoptosis.

Clin Exp Immunol 2023; 214:219-234.

Abstract
Studies have shown that the activation of the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is detrimental to the functional recovery of the sciatic nerve, but the regulatory mechanisms of the NLRP3 inflammasome in peripheral nerves are unclear. C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12) can bind to C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) and participate in a wide range of nerve inflammation by regulating the NLRP3 inflammasome. Based on these, we explore whether CXCL12-CXCR4 axis regulates the NLRP3 inflammasome in the peripheral nerve. We found that CXCR4/CXCL12, NLRP3 inflammasome-related components, pyroptosis-related proteins and inflammatory factors in the sciatic nerve injured rats were markedly increased compared with the sham-operated group. AMD3100, a CXCR4 antagonist, reverses the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, Schwann cell pyroptosis and sciatic nerve demyelination. We further treated rat Schwann cells with LPS (lipopolysaccharide) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to mimic the cellular inflammation model of sciatic nerve injury, and the results were consistent with those in vivo. In addition, both in vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that AMD3100 treatment reduced the phosphorylation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and the expression of thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP), which contributes to activating NLRP3 inflammasome. Therefore, our findings suggest that, after sciatic nerve injury, CXCL12-CXCR4 axis may promote Schwann cell pyroptosis and sciatic nerve demyelination through activating NLRP3 inflammasome and slow the recovery process of the sciatic nerve.

Abstract
Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death mediated by gasdermins, particularly gasdermin D (GSDMD), which is widely expressed in tissues throughout the body. GSDMD belongs to the gasdermin family, which is expressed in a variety of cell types including epithelial cells and immune cells. It is involved in the regulation of anti-inflammatory responses, leading to its differential expression in a wide range of diseases. In this review, we provide an overview of the current understanding of the major activation mechanisms and effector pathways of GSDMD. Subsequently, we examine the importance and role of GSDMD in different diseases, highlighting its potential as a pan-biomarker. We specifically focus on the biological characteristics of GSDMD in several diseases and its promising role in diagnosis, early detection, and differential diagnosis. Furthermore, we discuss the application of GSDMD in predicting prognosis and monitoring treatment efficacy in cancer. This review proposes a new strategy to guide therapeutic decision-making and suggests potential directions for further research into GSDMD.

Abstract
Hydroxylamine (NH2OH) is a potentially toxic pollutant when it is present in water, as it can damage both bacteria and the human body. It is still difficult to eliminate the toxic NH2OH in water. Here, we showed that the model bacterium (Escherichia coli) with nanocompartments encapsulated with hydroxylamine oxidase (HAO) can remove NH2OH from water. In addition, the removal efficiency of NH2OH by genetically modified bacteria (with HAO-nanocompartments) was 3.87 mg N L-1 h-1, and that of wild-type bacteria (without HAO-nanocompartments) was only 1.86 mg N L-1 h-1. Label-free quantitative proteomics indicated that the nanocompartments containing HAO enhanced bacterial activity by inducing the up-regulation of proteins involved in stress and stimulus responses, and decreased their intracellular NH2OH concentration. Moreover, the synthesis of proteins involved in energy metabolism, gene expression, and other processes in bacterial was enhanced under hydroxylamine stress, and these changes increased the resistance of bacterial to NH2OH. This work can aid our understanding of the toxic effects of NH2OH on bacteria as well as the development of new approaches to eliminate NH2OH in water.

[PMID: 35758877 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.14305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Revised: 05/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Ventricular remodeling (VR) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the main pathogenesis of chronic heart failure (CHF). Kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (KR) is the flavonoid glycoside with the highest content in Lu'an GuaPian tea, which has good pharmacological activities. However, the mechanism of KR against VR after AMI remains unclear. Molecular docking was used to predict the targets of KR on the NLRP3/Caspase-1 signaling pathway. Histological changes in the myocardium were visualized using HE staining, Masson staining. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was detected using TUNEL. Immunohistochemistry was used to examine NLRP3, Caspase-1 p20, and GSDMD. IL-1β level in serum was detected using ELISA. Finally, the expressions of NF-κB p65, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1 p20, GSDMD, and IL-1β were measured using RT-PCR and Western blotting. Our results showed that KR had a good binding activity with NLRP3, Caspase-1, and GSDMD, significantly improved cardiac function, alleviated cardiac pathological changes, reduced the excessive deposition of myocardial interstitial collagen, and inhibited cardiomyocyte apoptosis in AMI rats. Furthermore, KR could decrease the IL-1β level and inhibit the expressions of NF-κB p65, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1 p20, GSDMD, and IL-1β. Our study suggests that KR can prevent and treat VR after AMI, and the protective effect is related to its regulatory NF-κB/NLRP3/Caspase-1 signaling pathway. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside is present in Carthamus tinctorius L., Nymphaea candida, Afgekia mahidoliae and green tea, which has good pharmacological activities against liver injury, cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, dementia, hyperglycemia, and myocardial infarction. Our previous study found that kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside had an obvious anti-inflammatory effect, and could significantly improve the cell survival rate of H9c2 myocardium inflammatory injury induced by LPS. In this study, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside significantly improved cardiac function, alleviated cardiac pathological changes, reduced the excessive deposition of myocardial interstitial collagen, and inhibited cardiomyocyte apoptosis in AMI rats. Furthermore, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside could decrease the IL-1β level and inhibit the expressions of NF-κB p65, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, GSDMD and IL-1β, suggesting that kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside could regulate NF-κB/NLRP3/Caspase-1 signaling pathway.

Inhibition of GSDMD Activates Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation and Promotes Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:1115749. [PMID: 35783187 PMCID: PMC9249530 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1115749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Revised: 04/03/2022] [Accepted: 04/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
The precise control of cardiomyocyte viability is imperative to combat myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R), in which apoptosis and pyroptosis putatively contribute to the process. Recent researches indicated that GSDMD is involved in I/R as an executive protein of pyroptosis. However, its effect on other forms of cell death is unclear. We identified that GSDMD and GSDMD-N levels were significantly upregulated in the I/R myocardium of mice. Knockout of GSDMD conferred the resistance of the hearts to reperfusion injury in the acute phase of I/R but aggravated reperfusion injury in the chronic phase of I/R. Mechanistically, GSDMD deficiency induced the activation of PARylation and the consumption of NAD+ and ATP, leading to cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Moreover, PJ34, a putative PARP-1 inhibitor, reduced the myocardial injury caused by GSDMD deficiency. Our results reveal a novel action modality of GSDMD in the regulation of cardiomyocyte death; inhibition of GSDMD activates PARylation, suggesting the multidirectional role of GSDMD in I/R and providing a new theory for clinical treatment.

Shuangxinfang Prevents S100A9-Induced Macrophage/Microglial Inflammation to Improve Cardiac Function and Depression-Like Behavior in Rats After Acute Myocardial Infarction. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:832590. [PMID: 35814253 PMCID: PMC9263923 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.832590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2021] [Accepted: 05/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Depression is a common complication of cardiovascular disease, which deteriorates cardiac function. Shuangxinfang (psycho-cardiology formula, PCF) was reported to alleviate myocardial ischemia injury and improve depression-like behavior. Interestingly, our previous proteomics study predicted that the protein S100A9 appeared as an important target, and macrophage/microglial inflammation might be involved in the process of PCF improving depression induced by acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study aims to validate the proteomics results. Methods: AMI rat models were established in vivo, followed by the administration of PCF or ABR-215757 (also named paquinimod, inhibiting S100A9 binding to TLR4) for 5 days. Forced swimming test (FST) and open field test (OFT) were applied to record depression-like behavior, and echocardiography was employed to evaluate cardiac function. Morphological changes of cardiomyocytes were assessed by HE staining and TUNEL staining on day 7 after cardiac surgery, as well as Masson trichrome staining on day 21. Hippocampal neurogenesis was determined by Nissl staining, while 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), tryptophan/kynurenine ratio, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus were analyzed as biochemical indicators of depression. We employed RT-qPCR, western blotting, and immunofluorescence to detect the expression of pathway-related genes and proteins. Myocardial and hippocampal expression of inflammatory factors were performed by ELISA. The activation of macrophage and microglia was assessed via immunoreaction using CD68 and Iba1, respectively. For in vitro confirmation, BV2 cells were primed with recombinant protein S100A9 and then treated with PCF serum or ferulic acid to determine alterations in microglial inflammation. Results: Rats in the AMI group showed heart function deterioration and depression-like behavior. Coronary ligation not only brought about myocardial inflammation, cell apoptosis, and fibrosis but also reduced the neurogenesis, elevated the tryptophan/kynurenine ratio, and decreased the content of 5-HT. PCF could ameliorate the pathological and phenotypic changes in the heart and brain and inhibit the expression of the S100A9 protein, the activation of the microglial cell, and the secretion of IL-1β and TNF-α raised by AMI. ABR-215757 showed therapeutic effect and molecular biological mechanisms similar to PCF. Treatment with PCF serum or ferulic acid in vitro was proved to efficiently block the hyperactivation of BV2 cells and increment of cytokine contents induced by recombinant protein S100A9. Conclusion: We identify S100A9 as a novel and potent regulator of inflammation in both the heart and brain. Macrophage/microglia inflammation mediated by S100A9 is considered a pivotal pathogenic in depression after AMI and a major pathway for the treatment of PCF, suggesting that PCF is a promising therapeutic candidate for psycho-cardiology disease.

[PMID: 35396386 PMCID: PMC8993883 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-022-00970-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2021] [Revised: 03/13/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
The NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β are essential for scleroderma pathogenesis. Nevertheless, the role of pyroptosis executor gasdermin D(GSDMD), which is a downstream molecule of NLRP3 and is required for IL-1β release in some situations, has not yet been well elucidated in scleroderma. Here, we found that GSDMD was significantly up-regulated and activated in the skin of scleroderma patients and bleomycin-induced mouse model. What’s more, the ablation of GSDMD ameliorates bleomycin-induced skin fibrosis according to HE staining, Masson staining and the detection of hydroxyproline contents. GSDMD deficiency also impaired macrophages infiltration and reduced inflammation response. Furthermore, the loss of GSDMD reduced Th17 differentiation in vivo and in vitro. Collectively, these findings provide the first demonstration that GSDMD related pyroptosis plays an important role in scleroderma pathogenesis.

Psycho-cardiology therapeutic effects of Shuangxinfang in rats with depression-behavior post acute myocardial infarction: Focus on protein S100A9 from proteomics. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 144:112303. [PMID: 34673424 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.112303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2021] [Revised: 10/01/2021] [Accepted: 10/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Depressive disorders induced by acute myocardial infarction (AMI) play a pivotal role in the deterioration of cardiac function, and Shuangxinfang (Psycho-cardiology Formula, PCF) was reported to alleviate heart function damage and improve depression-like behavior, but the complex mechanism in such process has not been clarified. METHODS AMI models were established and PCF was administered in rats. Subjects were then assessed in open field test (OFT) and forced swimming test (FST) recapitulating symptoms of depressive disorder. Afterward, pharmacoproteomic profiling of the hippocampus and peri-infarct border zone (BZ) was performed using a label-free liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technique, to identify contributing proteins and pathways responsible for myocardial ischemia and behavioral allostasis. Bioinformatics analysis was processed for further investigation, while western blotting was employed for testing dominating proteins to validate proteomic results. RESULTS Rats in the AMI group showed depression-like behavior in OFT and FST, which was improved by PCF. There were 131 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in BZ and 64 proteins in the hippocampus being detected and quantified shared by the sham group, the AMI group, and the PCF group. Subsequently, pertinent pathways and molecular functions were further identified. Altered molecules were discovered to be enriched in the apoptotic process, innate immune response, and NF-κB transcription factor activity in BZ, as well as chemical synaptic transmission, axon, collagen binding, cell adhesion, response to carbohydrate, laminin binding, and cellular response to nitric oxide in the hippocampus. Groups of signal transducers were also able to select multiple pathways, including innate immunity and arginine biosynthesis in the heart, also integrin signaling in the brain. DEPs were intersected from the myocardium and hippocampus to screen out the protein S100A9, which was up-regulated in the AMI group compared with the sham, and showed a down-regulation trend after treatment with PCF. CONCLUSION Taken together, we present a comprehensive proteomics analysis of rat models with depression post-AMI. Reviewing the literatures concerned, it's hypothesized that macrophage/microglia inflammation mediated by S100A9 might be the pivotal pathogenic process of psycho-cardiology disease, as well as potential mechanisms for the treatment of PCF.
