Abstract
Solanum nigrum L. is a popular traditional medicine for various inflammatory conditions including rheumatism and joint pain. The current study aimed to evaluate the anti-arthritic mechanism of Solanum nigrum L. Four extracts were prepared using n-hexane, methanol, chloroform, and water. The anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity was carried out with 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg body wt. PO of each extract by the hot plate and carrageenan-induced paw oedema methods, respectively. The anti-arthritic study was performed with chloroform and aqueous extracts (300 mg/kg) in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced arthritis. Paw size (mm), ankle joint diameter (mm), and latency time (sec) were recorded on day 0 and every 4th day till 28 days. The hematological, inflammatory, and oxidative biomarkers were estimated. Results showed that significant analgesia (p < 0.05) and reduction in paw inflammation were achieved with all extracts. The highest percent inhibition in Carrageenan-induced inflammation was achieved with 300 mg/kg of chloroform (72.19%) and aqueous (71.30%) extracts, respectively. In the CFA model, both extracts showed a significant reduction in paw size and ankle joint diameter (p < 0.05). The RT-qPCR analysis revealed the upregulation of interleukin-4 and interleukin-10, and down-expression of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, cycloxygenase-2, nuclear factor-κB, prostaglandin E synthase 2, and interferon-γ. A significant increase in superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione levels was observed. Hence, it is concluded that Solanum nigrum L. leaf extracts regulate the expression of inflammatory markers and improve oxidative stress resulting in the attenuation of CFA-induced arthritis.

Leocarpinolide B Attenuates Collagen Type II-Induced Arthritis by Inhibiting DNA Binding Activity of NF-κB. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28104241. [PMID: 37241980 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28104241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease triggered by a cascading inflammatory response. Sigesbeckia Herba (SH) has long been utilized as a traditional remedy to alleviate symptoms associated with rheumatism. Our previous study found that leocarpinolide B (LB), a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from the whole plant of SH, possesses potent a anti-inflammatory effect on macrophages. This study was designed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of LB on RA, and further investigate the underlying mechanisms. In collagen type II-induced arthritic mice, LB was demonstrated to decrease the production of autoimmune antibodies in serum and inflammatory cytokines in the joint muscles and recover the decreased regulatory T lymphocytes in spleen. Moreover, LB significantly suppressed the inflammatory infiltration, formation of pannus and bone erosion in the paw joints. In vitro testing showed that LB inhibited the proliferation, migration, invasion, and secretion of inflammatory cytokines in IL-1β-induced human synovial SW982 cells. Network pharmacology and molecular docking suggested NF-κB p65 could be the potential target of LB on RA treatment, subsequent experimental investigation confirmed that LB directly interacted with NF-κB p65 and reduced the DNA binding activity of NF-κB in synovial cells. In conclusion, LB significantly attenuated the collagen type II-induced arthritis, which was at least involved in the inhibition of DNA binding activity of NF-κB through a direct binding to NF-κB p65. These findings suggest that LB could be a valuable lead compound for developing anti-RA drugs.

Abstract
In this work, we aim to address several strategies to improve transdermal drug delivery, such as iontophoresis, sonophoresis, electroporation and micron. We also propose a review of some transdermal patches and their applications in medicine. TDDs (transdermal patches with delayed active substances) are multilayered pharmaceutical preparations that may contain one or more active substances, of which, systemic absorption is achieved through intact skin. The paper also presents new approaches to the controlled release of drugs: niosomes, microemulsions, transfersomes, ethosomes, but also hybrid approaches nanoemulsions and microns. The novelty of this review lies in the presentation of strategies to improve the transdermal administration of drugs, combined with their applications in medicine, in light of pharmaceutical technological developments.

Proteomics Revealed That Mitochondrial Function Contributed to the Protective Effect of Herba Siegesbeckiae Against Cardiac Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:895797. [PMID: 35872903 PMCID: PMC9299383 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.895797] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is the main obstacle to percutaneous coronary intervention, lacking effective therapeutic measures in a clinical setting. Herba Siegesbeckiae (HS) is a traditional herb with multiple pharmacological activities and evidence of cardiovascular protection. However, few data are available regarding the role of HS in cardiac I/R. This study aimed to explore the effect and underlying mechanism of HS aqueous extract on cardiac I/R injury. Materials and Methods Herba Siegesbeckiae aqueous extract was prepared and analyzed by UHPLC-MS/MS. After intragastric administration of HS once daily for 7 days, male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to 30 min occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery followed by 120 min reperfusion to elicit I/R. Various parameters like myocardial infarction and apoptosis, 12-lead ECG and hemodynamics, cardiac morphology and myocardial enzymes, quantitative proteomics, mitochondrial ultrastructure and electron transport chain (ETC) function, oxidative stress and antioxidation, and NLRP3 inflammasome and inflammation were evaluated. Results The chemical constituents of HS aqueous extract were mainly divided into flavonoids, diterpenoids, and organic acids. In vivo, HS aqueous extract notably alleviated myocardial I/R injury, as evidenced by a reduction in infarct size, apoptotic cells, and cardiac lesion enzymes; decline of ST-segment elevation; improvement of cardiac function; and preservation of morphology. Quantitative proteomics demonstrated that HS reversed the alteration in the expression of Adgb, Cbr1, Decr1, Eif5, Uchl5, Lmo7, Bdh1, Ckmt2, COX7A, and RT1-CE1 after I/R. In addition, HS preserved myocardial ultrastructure and restored the function of mitochondrial ETC complexes following exposure to I/R; HS significantly suppressed I/R-elicited increase of ROS, RNS, MDA, and 8-OHdG, restrained the acetylation of MnSOD, and recovered the activity of MnSOD; and HS reversed I/R-induced elevation of NLRP3 inflammasome and inhibited the release of inflammatory factors and pyroptosis. Conclusion Herba Siegesbeckiae aqueous extract ameliorated cardiac I/R injury, which is associated with mitigating oxidative stress, suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome, and restoring mitochondrial function by regulating the expression of Adgb, Cbr1, Decr1, Eif5, Uchl5, Lmo7, Bdh1, Ckmt2, COX7A, and RT1-CE1.

A network pharmacology-based study on the quality control markers of antithrombotic herbs: Using Salvia miltiorrhiza - Ligusticum chuanxiong as an example. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 292:115197. [PMID: 35331879 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2022.115197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen, DS), the dried root and rhizome of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge and Ligusticum chuanxiong (Chuanxiong, CX), the dried rhizomes of Ligusticum striatum DC are effective in invigorating blood circulation and eliminating stasis which is highly related with cardiovascular disease (CVD). AIM OF STUDY The identification of activity-based chemical markers is very important, but the complex mechanism of "multi-component, multi-target, and multi-effect" within traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) poses a great challenge to this work. In this study, we combined network pharmacological prediction with experimental validation of the DS and CX to explore an effective method for discovering quality control (QC) of antithrombotic herbs by clarifying the intermediate layer "module/cluster" between the whole complex system and a single component. MATERIALS AND METHODS Based on structural similarity analysis of compound and the thrombosis network published before, we firstly modularized two layers called chemical cluster (CC) network and functional module (FM) network respectively and linked them into one bilayer modularized compound target (BMCT) network. "Two-step" calculation was applied on identifying the significant compounds as the potential QC markers from CC. The in vitro inhibitory activity of selected QC marker compounds on thrombin was evaluated to partially verify their pharmacological activities. HPLC was used to determine contents. RESULTS According to the network-based analysis, nine compounds with great importance in the BMCT network were identified as QC markers of DS-CX, including tanshinone I, tanshinone IIA, cryptotanshinone, salvianolic acid B, ferulic acid, salvianolic acid A, rosmarinic acid, chlorogenic acid, and coniferyl ferulate. Enzyme inhibitory test partially verified the activity of tanshinone I and tanshinone IIA. Chemical profiling indicated that the nine marker compounds are the main components in the herbal pair. CONCLUSIONS This study identified activity-based QC markers of DS-CX herbal pair and provided a new methodology that can be used in the QC of other herbs, herbal pairs, or formulas.

Screening 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors from selected traditional Chinese medicines and isolation of the active compounds from Polygoni Cuspidati Rhizoma by an on-line bioactivity evaluation system. Biomed Chromatogr 2022; 36:e5426. [PMID: 35707928 DOI: 10.1002/bmc.5426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2022] [Revised: 06/11/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
To identify natural products as new prototypes for 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), 12 traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), were selected for screening their 5-LOX inhibition activities. The results showed that all of the methanol extracts of 12 selected TCMs possessed inhibitory activities of 5-LOX at 200 μg/mL, of which six extracts of the TCMs showed significant inhibitory effects with IC50 values ranged from 33.2 ± 1.4 μg/mL to 153.5 ± 1.7 μg/mL, and the extract of Polygoni Cuspidati Rhizoma (RPC) was the most active sample. An on-line UPLC-PDA-MSn -5-LOX-FLD method was applied to further identify the potential 5-LOX inhibitory constituents in RPC extracts, which resulted in the identification of 7 components with 5-LOX-binding activities. Finally, four compounds (polydatin, resveratrol, emodin-8-O-glucoside and emodin) were successfully purified from RPC extracts. The 5-LOX inhibition action was assayed in vitro, and the results showed that these compounds possessed potent inhibitory effects against 5-LOX with IC50 values of 15.3 ± 2.1, 4.5 ± 1.2, 23.8 ± 0.4 and 11.8 ± 1.5 μg/mL, respectively. This was the first study to reveal the 5-LOX inhibitory constituents of RPC, and the present investigation might provide a valuable approach for the rapid discovery of natural inhibitors from TCMs.

Marantodes pumilum: Systematic computational approach to identify their therapeutic potential and effectiveness. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 283:114751. [PMID: 34662662 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Revised: 09/30/2021] [Accepted: 10/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Marantodes pumilum (MP) herbs, locally known as Kacip Fatimah, are widely used traditionally to improve women's health. The herb is frequently used for gynecological issues such as menstrual problems, facilitating and quickening delivery, post-partum medication, treats flatulence and dysentery, and. MP extracts are thought to aid in the firming and toning of abdominal muscles, tighten breasts and vaginal muscles, and anti-dysmenorrhea. It also was used for the treatment of gonorrhea and hemorrhoids. As MP product has been produced commercially recently, more in-depth studies should be conducted. The presence of numerous active compounds in MP might provide a synergistic effect and potentially offer other health benefits than those already identified and known. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to use a computational target fishing approach to predict the possible therapeutic effect of Marantodes pumilum and evaluated their effectivity. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study involves a computational approach to identify the potential targets by using target fishing. Several databases were used: PubChem database to obtain the chemical structure of interested compounds; Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) server and the SWISSADME web tool to identify and select the compounds having drug-likeness properties; PharmMapper was used to identify top ten target protein of the selected compounds and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) was used to predict human genetic problems; the gene id of top-10 proteins was obtained from UniProtKB to be analyzed by using GeneMANIA server to check the genes' function and their co-expression; Gene Pathway established by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) of the selected targets were analyzed by using EnrichR server and confirmed by using DAVID (The Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery) version 6.8 and STRING database. All the interaction data was analyzed by Cytoscape version 3.7.2 software. The protein structure of most putative proteins was obtained from the RCSB protein data bank. Thedocking analysis was conducted using PyRx biological software v0.8 and illustrated by BIOVIA Discovery Studio Visualizer version 20.1.0. As a preliminary evaluation, a cell viability assay using Sulforhodamine B was conducted to evaluate the potential of the predicted therapeutic effect. RESULTS It was found that four studied compounds are highly correlated with three proteins: EFGR, CDK2, and ESR1. These proteins are highly associated with cancer pathways, especially breast cancer and prostate cancer. Qualitatively, cell proliferation assay conducted shown that the extract has IC50 of 88.69 μg/ml against MCF-7 and 66.51 μg/ml against MDA-MB-231. CONCLUSIONS Natural herbs are one of the most common forms of complementary and alternative medicine, and they play an important role in disease treatment. The results of this study show that in addition to being used traditionally to maintain women's health, the use of Marantodes pumilum indirectly has the potential to protect against the development of cancer cells, especially breast cancer. Therefore, further research is necessary to confirm the potential of this plant to be used in the development of anti-cancer drugs, especially for breast cancer.

Abstract
Siegesbeckia glabrescens (Compositae), an annual herb indigenous to Korean mountainous regions and has been eaten as a food in Korea. This study investigated ABTS, DPPH and nitric oxide (NO) radical-scavenging activities, and melanin production and TYR inhibitory effects-guided fractionation to identify therapeutic phytochemicals from S. glabrescens that can attenuate oxidation and melanogenesis in murine melanoma B16F10 cells. Nine compounds with inhibitory effects on melanin production, and TYR activity, and ABTS, DPPH, and NO radical scavenging activity were isolated from the 100% ethanol fraction from S. glabrescens. Among the nine compounds, kirenol (K), methyl ent-16α, 17-dihydroxy-kauran-19-oate (MDK) had strong inhibitory effects on melanin production and TYR activity with antioxidant effects. Western blot analysis revealed that K and MDK suppressed tyrosinase-related protein (TYRP)-1, TYRP-2 and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) expression. Moreover, these two compounds inhibited intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-treated B16F10 cells. Our results suggest that S. glabrescens containing active compounds such as K and MDK, which has antioxidant and antimelanogenesis effects, is the potent therapeutic and functional material for the prevention of oxidation-induced hyperpigmentation.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Siegesbeckiae Herba (SiH) is a traditional anti-rheumatic herbal medicine in China. A SiH derived product, Phynova Joint and Muscle Relief Tablets™, has been granted the UK license in 2015. Although transdermal delivery provides better patient compliance and relative constant plasma drug concentration, the feasibility of transdermal delivery of SiH was not clear. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of the present study was to develop a novel transdermal patch containing SiH extract for alternative therapy of rheumatoid arthritis. MATERIALS AND METHODS SiH extract containing 48.5% (w/w) of kirenol was prepared from Siegesbeckia pubescens Makino. Then transdermal patches containing SiH extract were prepared by the solvent evaporation technique. The formulation of the transdermal patch was optimized based on the in vitro skin permeation experiment. Finally, the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of the optimal patch were evaluated by chronic inflammation model induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) and writhing model induced by acetic acid, separately. RESULTS Oleic acid (OA) showed the maximum permeation enhancement effect with the enhancement ratio (ER) values of 3.32. Therefore, OA was used as a permeation enhancer in the transdermal patch. The optimal formulation consisted of SiH extract (10% of the matrix, w/w), OA (10% of the matrix, w/w), DURO-TAK® 87-2287 (pressure sensitive adhesive matrix) and Scotchpak™ 9701 (backing layer). The optimal transdermal patch containing SiH extract significantly reduced the degree of paw swelling and number of writhing in inflammation model and writhing model, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The developed transdermal patch containing Siegesbeckiae Herba extract showed good anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, which demonstrated a great potential for alternative therapy of rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Siegesbeckia pubescens led to seventeen diterpenoids (1-17) and twelve sesquiterpenoids (18-29). Their structures were varied including twelve ent-pimarane (1-12), three ent-kaurane (13-15), two acyclic diterpenoids (16-17), ten germacrene (18-27), one guaiane (28), and one caryolane (29) sesquiterpenoids. Eight of twenty-nine were new ones (1, 3, 4, 16-18, 23, and 28). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configurations of compounds 1 and 2 were identified using X-ray diffraction analysis, and of compounds 18, 23, and 28 were elucidated by the experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. All the isolated compounds (1-29) were assayed for their inhibition of RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in bone marrow macrophages (BMMs). Four sesquiterpenoids 18, 25, 26, and 27 exhibited potent inhibition of osteoclastogenesis with IC50 value of 0.51, 0.80, 0.50, and 0.83 μM, respectively. Here we demonstrated that S. pubescens may be a resource for discovery of anti-osteoporosis agents.

Extract Alleviated the Collagen Type II-Induced Arthritis Through Inhibiting Multi-Target-Mediated Synovial Hyperplasia and Inflammation. Front Pharmacol 2020; 11:547913. [PMID: 32982752 PMCID: PMC7485472 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2020.547913] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2020] [Accepted: 08/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Excessive proliferation and inflammation of synovial fibroblasts accelerate and decorate the pathological process of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Sigesbeckia orientalis L. (SO) is one of the main plant sources for Sigesbeckiae Herba (SH) which has been used traditionally in treating various forms of arthritis and rheumatic pain. However, the anti-arthritic mechanisms of SO are still not clearly understood. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects and the underlying mechanisms of SO against collagen type II (C II)-induced RA in rats as well as the interleukin (IL)-1β-induced human synovial SW982 and MH7A cells. For the in vivo studies, thirty-six Wistar male rats were randomly arranged to six groups based on the body weight, and then C II-induced to RA model for 15 days, followed by treatment with the 50% ethanolic extract of SO (SOE, 0.16, 0.78, and 1.56 g/kg) for 35 days. The results suggested that SOE significantly inhibited the formation of pannus (synovial hyperplasia to the articular cavity) and attenuated the cartilage damaging and bone erosion in the CIA-induced rats' hind paw joints. Moreover, SOE decreased the production of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the serum and the expression of IL-6 and IL-1β in the joint muscles, as well as recovered the decreased regulatory T lymphocytes. The results obtained from the in vitro studies showed that SOE (50, 100, and 200 µg/ml) not only inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of human synovial SW982 cells but also decreased the IL-1β-induced expression of IL-6 and IL-8 both in SW982 and MH7A cells. Besides, SOE reduced the expression of COX-2, NLRP3, and MMP9, and increased the expression of MMP2 in the IL-1β-induced SW982 cells. Furthermore, SOE blocked the activation of NF-κB and reduced the phosphorylation of MAPKs and the expression of AP-1. In conclusion, SOE attenuated the C II-induced RA through inhibiting of MAPKs/NF-κB/AP-1-mediated synovial hyperplasia and inflammation.

Abstract
Background Sigesbeckia glabrescens Makino (SG) has been traditionally used for rheumatism and joint protection. However, the anti-arthritic effects and underling mechanisms of SG have not been demonstrated. In this study, we investigated the anti-arthritic effects and mechanisms of SG extract (SGE) on collagen-induced arthritic rats and interleukin (IL)-1β-stimulated human synovial SW982 cells. Methods Rats were induced to arthritis by collagen for 15 days and then received SGE treatment for 35 days. The body weight and arthritis severity score of the rats were monitored weekly. At the end of the experiment, the radiographic and histological changes of rats’ hind paw were obtained; the serum C-reactive protein was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); the expression levels of interleukin (IL)- 1β, IL6 and IL-10 in the joint muscles were determined by ELISA and immunohistochemical staining; and the level of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the spleen was detected using flow cytometry. In addition, 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and scratch wound healing assay were used to evaluate the proliferation of SW982 synovial cells. ELISA, western blot and immunofluorescence staining were used to investigate the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of SGE on IL-1β-induced SW982 cells and joint muscles of CIA rats. Results SGE attenuated the collagen-induced hind paw swelling, cartilage damage and bone erosion. SGE inhibited the synovial hyperplasia to the articular cavity in the toe joint and ankle. Moreover, SGE decreased the production of C-reactive protein in serum and the expression of IL-6, IL-1β, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 in the joint muscles. SGE also recovered the decreased Tregs. Results from the in vitro experiments showed that SGE not only inhibited the proliferation and migration of human synovial cell but also inhibited the IL-1β-induced expression of IL-6 and IL-8. Similarly, SGE inhibited the activation of NF-κB and the expression of COX-2. Conclusions SGE attenuated the collagen-induced arthritis through inhibiting the synovial hyperplasia and inflammation.![]()

Data Mining Study on Prescription Patterns of Different Dosage Forms of Chinese Herbal Medicines for Treating and Improving Immune-Inflammatory Indices in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Chin J Integr Med 2020; 28:215-222. [PMID: 32829446 DOI: 10.1007/s11655-020-3480-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the prescription patterns of different dosage forms of Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and their effects on immune-inflammatory indices. METHODS Clinical data were collected from patients with RA in 4 hospitals (3 Class A comprehensive hospitals and 1 Class B comprehensive hospital) in Anhui Province, China, from August 2012 to June 2018 via the electronic medical record gathering system. Following extraction of prescription information, each prescribed herb was quantified and standardized according to the knowledge base to establish a database of RA treatment formulae. The medical records were divided into the granules group and decoction pieces group. Core herbs and their combination patterns were obtained from the two groups of cases using Liquorice software. Changes in immune-inflammatory and hepatic and renal function indices were compared between the two groups using SPSS 23.0 software. The Aprior module of SPSS Clementine 11.1 software was applied to analyse the correlation between CHMs and improvement in indices. Finally, the ORACLE 10 g tool was used to evaluate the random walk model of the immune-inflammatory indices between the two groups. RESULTS (1) We retrospectively analysed 35,898 prescriptions for 6,829 patients with RA who received CHM treatment. There were 3,816 patients in the granules group and 3,013 in the decoction pieces group. (2) The core herbs were Pi (Spleen)-strengthening and dampness-resolving drugs, blood-activating and stasis-resolving drugs, wind/dampness-dispelling drugs and heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs. (3) Both dosage forms could improve immune-inflammatory indices in RA patients, with similar efficacy and no influence on hepatic or renal function. (4) Herba Siegesbeckiae and Oldenlandia had a stronger association with immune-inflammatory indices in the two groups. (5) The immune-inflammatory indices showed obvious improvement after treatment with granules and decoction pieces of CHMs, and there were long range correlations between the comprehensive evaluation indices and interventions. CONCLUSIONS The principal CHM treatment methods for RA in four hospitals in Anhui Province are strengthening Pi and resolving dampness, activating blood and resolving stasis, dispelling wind/dampness and clearing heat. Granules and decoction pieces of CHMs have similar efficacy in improving immune-inflammatory indices in RA patients and could be used as treatment options for RA.

Comprehensive comparison on the anti-inflammatory effects of three species of Sigesbeckia plants based on NF-κB and MAPKs signal pathways in vitro. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 250:112530. [PMID: 31883476 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2019.112530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2019] [Revised: 07/15/2019] [Accepted: 12/25/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Sigesbeckiae Herba (SH), a traditional anti-inflammatory Chinese herbal medicine, is originated from the plants of Sigesbeckia pubescens Makino (SP), S. orientalis L. (SO) and S. glabrescens Makino (SG). The current studies reported that the chemical constituents in the three species of plants were different. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study is to provide a systemic comparison on the anti-inflammatory effects and the underlying molecular mechanisms among the three plants based on their effects on nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) signal pathways in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four batches of three Sigesbeckia herbs were collected from different regions of China and extracted with 50% ethanol. The distribution of 6 compounds in the 24 batches of SH extracts were characterized by UPLC analysis. The cytotoxicity of all extracts to RAW264.7 cells in the absence or presence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were examined by 3- (4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The anti-inflammatory effects of the extracts were investigated using Griess reagent and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The underlying mechanisms of the representative samples (SP007, SO005 and SG003) for individual species were examined by western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS The estimated average sub-lethal dose (LD15) of SP, SO and SG on RAW264.7 cells were 181.7 ± 15.7, 291.5 ± 33.9 and 317.1 ± 16.3 μg/mL, respectively. In LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, the inhibitory effects of SH species were determined to be SP > SO > SG on NO release, while SP ~ SO > SG on secretion of post-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6 and MCP-1). Moreover, suppression on LPS-induced excessive expressions of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), as well as the activation of NF-κB and phosphorylation of MAPKs were investigated to be associated to the anti-inflammatory effects for all SH species. CONCLUSIONS We firstly reported a systemic comparison on the anti-inflammatory properties for the three main plant origins of SH. Although SG showed lower toxicity and less anti-inflammatory effects compared with SP and SO in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells, comparable inhibitory effects on NF-κB and MAPKs pathways and the reduction of LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2 were observed in the anti-inflammatory process for all Sigesbeckia plants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gegen Qinlian decoction (GQ) is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine that has been clinically proven to be effective in treating ulcerative colitis (UC). However, its therapeutic mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Notch signaling plays an essential role in the regeneration of the intestinal epithelium. PURPOSE This study was designed to ascertain the mechanism by which GQ participates in the recovery of the colonic mucosa by regulating Notch signaling in acute and chronic UC models. METHODS Acute and chronic UC mice (C57BL/6) were established with 3 and 2% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), respectively, and treated with oral administration of GQ. The expression of the Notch target gene Hes1 and the Notch-related proteins RBP-J, MAML and Math1 was analyzed by western blotting. PTEN mRNA levels were detected by qRT-PCR. Mucin production that is characteristic of goblet cells was determined by Alcian blue/periodic acid-Schiff staining and verified by examining MUC2 mRNA levels by qRT-PCR. Cell proliferation was assayed by immunohistochemistry analysis of Ki67. HT-29 and FHC cells and Toll-like receptor 4 knockout (TLR4-/-) acute UC mice were also used in this study. RESULTS GQ restored the injured colonic mucosa in both acute and chronic UC models. We found that Notch signaling was hyperactive in acute UC mice and hypoactive in chronic UC mice. GQ downregulated Hes1, RBP-J and MAML proteins and augmented goblet cells in the acute UC models, whereas GQ upregulated Hes1, RBP-J and MAML proteins in chronic UC mice, reducing goblet cell differentiation and promoting crypt base columnar (CBC) stem cell proliferation. Hes1 mRNA was suppressed in TLR4-/- UC mice, and GQ treatment reversed this effect. In vitro, GQ reduced Hes1 protein in Notch-activated HT29 and FHC cells but increased Hes1 protein in Notch-inhibited cells. CONCLUSIONS GQ restored the colonic epithelium by maintaining mucosal homeostasis via bidirectional regulation of Notch signaling in acute/chronic UC models.

Leocarpinolide B attenuates LPS-induced inflammation on RAW264.7 macrophages by mediating NF-κB and Nrf2 pathways. Eur J Pharmacol 2019; 868:172854. [PMID: 31837308 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2019.172854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2019] [Revised: 12/04/2019] [Accepted: 12/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Macrophages-mediated inflammation is involved in the regulation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Sigesbeckiae Herba (SH) has been traditionally used for rheumatism. However, the bioactive ingredients of SH are still unclear. Recently, we isolated a compound (Leocarpinolide B, LB) from SH and identified its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on RAW264.7 macrophages for the first time. LB effectively inhibited excessive production of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α and MCP-1), and the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthases (iNOS) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells. LB blocked the degradation of inhibitor of kappa B (IκBα) and translocation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65. Additionally, LB reduced the intracellular reactive oxygen species, and increased the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and the translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in the presence or absence of LPS. The results suggested that LB might be one of the bioactive components of SH, and be potential for the treatment of RA and valuable to be further investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sigesbeckia glabrescens Makino (SG) is one of the important plant origins of Sigesbeckiae herba and has been widely used for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases in China. However, the underlying anti-inflammatory mechanism of SG is rarely investigated and reported. There are more than 40 kinds of chemical constituents in SG, but the action of the bioactive compounds of SG is still unclear. Therefore, we aimed to systemically investigate the mechanisms behind the anti-inflammatory properties of SG by combining in vitro and in silico investigations. METHODS Cytotoxicity was measured using the 3-[4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assays. Nitric oxide (NO) release was detected using the Griess assay. The secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the expression of relevant proteins were assessed using ELISA kits and Western blots, respectively. Molecular docking was performed and scored using AutoDock via a comparison with the molecular docking of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (NAG). RESULTS In lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated macrophages, SG significantly inhibited NO, MCP-1, and IL-6 secretion; iNOS expression; and NF-κB activation but did not significantly affect MAPK signalling (p38, ERK, and JNK). Moreover, the results from the molecular docking prediction suggested that over 10 compounds in SG could likely target TLR4, p105, and p65. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the anti-inflammatory effects of SG are highly related to the inactivation of NF-κB. Moreover, this study provides a novel approach to investigate the effects of herbal medicine using combined in vitro and in silico investigations.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of chronic liver disease world-wide, and currently therapeutic options for NAFLD are limited. Herbal medicine (HM) may offer an attractive alternative for the treatment of NAFLD. Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in the autophagy-inducing agents, and autophagy activation has been recognized as an efficient strategy in managing NAFLD and related complications. Pharmacological studies have demonstrated certain potential of HM extracts and natural products in inducing autophagy, which might contribute to the efficacy of HM in preventing and treating NAFLD. This review aims to summarize current understanding of mechanisms of HM extracts and natural products in preventing and treating NAFLD. Specially, we focused on mechanisms by which autophagy can target the main pathogenesis events associated with NAFLD, including hepatic steatosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. It is hoped that this brief review can provide a general understanding of HM extracts and natural products in treating NAFLD, and raise awareness of potential clinical application of HM in general.
