Abstract
BACKGROUND Astragaloside IV has emerged as a pharmaceutical monomer with great medical applications and potential. Astragaloside IV has many effects such as improving myocardial ischemia, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiviral, promoting lymphocyte proliferation, and antitumor effects. However, there are few bibliometric studies on astragaloside IV. OBJECTIVES We aim to visualize the hotspots and trends in astragaloside IV research through bibliometric analysis to further understand the future development of basic and clinical research. Methods The articles and reviews on astragaloside IV were screened from the Web of Science Core Collection, and knowledge maps were generated using CiteSpace software. Bibliometric analysis was performed on 971 articles published from 1998 to 2022. RESULTS The number of articles on astragaloside IV increased yearly. These publications came from 42 countries/regions, with China being the largest. The primary research institutions were Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Journal of Ethnopharmacology was the most studied journal and co-cited journal. A total of 473 authors were included, among which Hongxin Wang had the highest number of publications and Zhang Wd had the highest total citation frequency. After analysis, the most common keywords are astragaloside IV, expression, and oxidative stress. Cardiovascular disease, cerebral ischemia, cancer, and kidney disease are current and developing research fields. CONCLUSION This study used bibliometrics and visualization methods to analyze the research hotspots and trends of astragaloside IV. Astragaloside IV on ischemia-reperfusion injury, cancer, and tumor may become the focus of future research.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a global health problem. Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) is a saponin compound extracted from the roots of the Chinese herb Astragalus. Over the past few decades, AS-IV has been shown to possess various pharmacological properties. It can protect the myocardium through antioxidative stress, anti-inflammatory effects, regulation of calcium homeostasis, improvement of myocardial energy metabolism, anti-apoptosis, anti-cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, anti-myocardial fibrosis, regulation of myocardial autophagy, and improvement of myocardial microcirculation. AS-IV exerts protective effects on blood vessels. For example, it can protect vascular endothelial cells through antioxidative stress and anti-inflammatory pathways, relax blood vessels, stabilize atherosclerotic plaques, and inhibit the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells. Thus, the bioavailability of AS-IV is low. Toxicology indicates that AS-IV is safe, but should be used cautiously in pregnant women. In this paper, we review the mechanisms of AS-IV prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in recent years to provide a reference for future research and drug development.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, is among the most prevalent health problems worldwide and effective strategies for its prevention and treatment are urgently required. In this regard, increasing research has demonstrated that natural drugs offer antihypertensive, antiatherosclerotic, and cardioprotective activities, and many are applied widely for the treatment of CVD and its manifestations such as myocardial infarction, peripheral vascular diseases, and coronary heart disease. Natural drugs have significant advantages in the treatment of CVD due to their efficacy and safety profiles. Saponins are an important class of active components of plant natural products and play an important role in the treatment of CVD. This review covers the most up-to-date information on saponins concerning their cardioprotective effects and mechanisms of action.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury seriously threats the health and life of patients with ischemia heart disease. Herein, we probed the potential influence of myosin 1b (myo1b) on hypoxia/reoxygenation- (H/R-) stimulated cardiomyocyte H9c2 cell apoptosis and autophagy. After H/R stimulation, the myo1b mRNA level in H9c2 cells was tested via qRT-PCR. Myo1b overexpression plasmid (OE-myo1b) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting myo1b (si-myo1b) were transfected into H9c2 cells to alter myo1b expression in H9c2 cells. Following H/R stimulation and/or OE-myo1b (or si-myo1b) transfection, H9c2 cell apoptosis, proliferation, and autophagy were detected, respectively. We found that H/R stimulation reduced the mRNA level of myo1b in H9c2 cells and resulted in H9c2 cell apoptosis, proliferation inhibition, and autophagy. Overexpression of myo1b reversed the H/R-resulted H9c2 cell apoptosis, proliferation inhibition, and autophagy. Silence of myo1b had opposite effects, which promoted H9c2 cell apoptosis, reduced cell proliferation, and accelerated cell autophagy. Taken together, Myo1b took part in the modulation of H/R-stimulated cardiomyocyte apoptosis and autophagy, which might be serve as a potential endogenous target for prevention and therapy of I/R injury.

Abstract
Astragalus membranaceus Bunge, known as Huangqi, has been used to treat various diseases for a long time. Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) is one of the primary active ingredients of the aqueous Huangqi extract. Many experimental models have shown that AS-IV exerts broad beneficial effects on cardiovascular disease, nervous system diseases, lung disease, diabetes, organ injury, kidney disease, and gynaecological diseases. This review demonstrates and summarizes the structure, solubility, pharmacokinetics, toxicity, pharmacological effects, and autophagic mechanism of AS-IV. The autophagic effects are associated with multiple signalling pathways in experimental models, including the PI3KI/Akt/mTOR, PI3K III/Beclin-1/Bcl-2, PI3K/Akt, AMPK/mTOR, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, SIRT1–NF-κB, PI3K/AKT/AS160, and TGF-β/Smad signalling pathways. Based on this evidence, AS-IV could be used as a replacement therapy for treating the multiple diseases referenced above.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the rising age of the global population, the incidence rate of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs) is increasing, which causes serious public health burden. The efforts for new therapeutic approaches are still being sought since the treatment effects of existing therapies are not quite satisfactory. Chinese traditional medicine proved to be very efficient in the treatment of CCVDs. Well described and established in Chinese medicine, Astragali Radix, has been commonly administered in the prophylaxis and cure of CCVDs for thousands of years. PURPOSE This review summarized the action mode and mechanisms of Astragali Radix phytochemicals on CCVDs, hoping to provide valuable information for the future application, development and improvement of Astragali Radix as well as CCVDs treatment. METHODS A plenty of literature on biological active ingredients of Astragali Radix used for CCVDs treatment were retrieved from online electronic PubMed and Web of Science databases. RESULTS This review highlighted the effects of five main active components in Astragali Radix including astragaloside Ⅳ, cycloastragenol, astragalus polysaccharide, calycosin-7-O-β-d-glucoside, and calycosin on CCVDs. The mechanisms mainly involved anti-oxidative damage, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic through signaling pathways such as PI3K/Akt, Nrf2/HO-1, and TLR4/NF-κB pathway. In addition, the majority active constituents in AR have no obvious toxic side effects. CONCLUSION The main active components of Astragali Radix, especially AS-IV, have been extensively summarized. It has been proved that Astragali Radix has obvious therapeutic effects on various CCVDs, including myocardial and cerebral ischemia, hypertension, atherosclerosis, cardiac hypertrophy, chronic heart failure. CAG possesses anti-ischemia activity without toxicity, indicating a worthy of further development. However, high-quality clinical and pharmacokinetic studies are required to validate the current studies.

Abstract
Numerous studies have demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve an important regulatory role in ischemic injury of cardiomyocytes. lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) could effectively protect cardiomyocytes against various injuries. However, the role of SNHG1 in ischemic cardiomyocyte injury is unclear. It was hypothesized that SNHG1 may have a protective effect on cardiomyocyte injury induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) by sponging microRNA (miRNA/miR). The purpose of the present study was to explore the role and molecular mechanism of SNHG1 in ischemic cardiomyocyte injury. A H9c2 cardiomyocyte H/R model was established. The expression levels of SNHG1 in cardiomyocytes treated with H/R were detected using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. A luciferase reporter assay was used to analyze the associations among SNHG1, miR-16-5p and GATA binding protein 4 (GATA4). Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments were performed to analyze the interaction between SNHG1 and GATA4. Cell Counting Kit-8, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, terminal deoxynucleotidyl-transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling and western blotting experiments were used to detect cell activity, lactate dehydrogenase release, apoptosis and apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2, Bax, Cleaved caspase-3 and Cleaved caspase-9), respectively. The expression levels of SNHG1 were downregulated in cardiomyocytes treated with H/R. Overexpression of SNHG1 had a protective effect on cardiomyocyte injury induced by H/R. In addition, SNHG1 could regulate the expression levels of GATA4 via sponging of miR-16-5p. Further experiments revealed that GATA4 could bind to the promoter region of SNHG1 and subsequently regulated the expression levels of SNHG1, indicating the important role of the positive feedback loop of SNHG1/miR-16-5p/GATA4 in cardiomyocyte ischemic injury. To conclude, the present study revealed the protective effect of the SNHG1/miR-16-5p/GATA4 positive feedback loop on cardiomyocyte injury induced by H/R and provided a potential therapeutic target for ischemic cardiomyocyte injury.

Abstract
Cardiomyocyte death caused by hypoxia is one of the main causes of myocardial infarction or heart failure, and mitochondria play an important role in this process. Agrimonolide (AM) is a monomeric component extracted from Agrimonia pilosa L. and has antioxidant, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory effects. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of AM in improving hypoxia-induced H9c2 cell damage. The results showed that low AM concentrations promote H9c2 cell proliferation and increase cellular ATP content. Transcriptome sequencing showed that AM induces differential expression of genes in H9c2 cells. Gene ontology (GO) function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses revealed that these genes were concentrated in mitochondrial function. Subsequent experiments confirmed that AM regulates hypoxia-induced cell cycle arrest. AM inhibited the rate of apoptosis by regulating the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, reducing the level of cleaved Caspase 3 and Bax, and increasing the level of Bcl2, thereby protecting H9c2 cells from hypoxia-induced apoptosis. AM restored the mitochondrial membrane potential, inhibited the generation of ROS, maintained the normal shape of the mitochondria, improved the level of the mitochondrial functional proteins OPA1, MFN1, MFN2, Tom20, and increased the level of ATP. In conclusion, AM protects H9c2 cells from hypoxia-induced cell damage.

Cardioprotective Effect of Stem-Leaf Saponins From Panax notoginseng on Mice With Sleep Derivation by Inhibiting Abnormal Autophagy Through PI3K/Akt/mTOR Pathway. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:694219. [PMID: 34604348 PMCID: PMC8483245 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.694219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2021] [Accepted: 08/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Sleep deprivation (SD) may lead to serious myocardial injury in cardiovascular diseases. Saponins extracted from the roots of Panax notoginseng, a traditional Chinese medicine beneficial to blood circulation and hemostasis, are the main bioactive components exerting cardiovascular protection in the treatment of heart disorders, such as arrhythmia, ischemia and reperfusion injury, and cardiac hypertrophy. This study aimed to explore the protective effect of stem-leaf saponins from Panax notoginseng (SLSP) on myocardial injury in SD mice. SD was induced by a modified multi-platform method. Cardiac morphological changes were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Heart rate and ejection fraction were detected by specific instruments. Serum levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were measured with biochemical kits. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), immunofluorescent, and Western blotting analysis were used to observe the process and pathway of autophagy and apoptosis in heart tissue of SD mice. In vitro, rat H9c2 cells pretreated with rapamycin and the effect of SLSP were explored by acridine orange staining, transient transfection, flow cytometry, and Western blotting analysis. SLSP prevented myocardial injury, such as morphological damage, accumulation of autophagosomes in heart tissue, abnormal high heart rate, serum ANP, and serum LDH induced by SD. In addition, it reversed the expressions of proteins involved in the autophagy and apoptosis and activated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway that is disturbed by SD. On H9c2 cells induced by rapamycin, SLSP could markedly resume the abnormal autophagy and apoptosis. Collectively, SLSP attenuated excessive autophagy and apoptosis in myocardial cells in heart tissue induced by SD, which might be acted through activating PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Xu Z, Yang D, Huang X, Huang H. Astragaloside IV Protects 6-Hydroxydopamine-Induced SH-SY5Y Cell Model of Parkinson's Disease via Activating the JAK2/STAT3 Pathway. Front Neurosci 2021; 15:631501. [PMID: 33833662 PMCID: PMC8021720 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2021.631501] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2020] [Accepted: 02/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives Astragaloside IV (AS-IV), the main active component of Astragalus membranaceus, bears anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective activity. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease. This study explored the protective effect of AS-IV on the cell model of PD. Materials and Methods SH-SY5Y cells were incubated with different concentrations (10, 50, 100, 150, and 200 μM) of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) for 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h to establish the PD cell model. Different concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 μM) of AS-IV or 15 mM JAK2/STAT3 pathway inhibitor SC99 was added for intervention 2 h before 6-OHDA treatment. The viability and morphological damage of 6-OHDA-treated SH-SY5Y cells were measured using MTT assay and Hoechst 33258 staining. The expression of microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP2) was detected by immunofluorescence staining. The levels of inflammation and oxidative stress were measured using ELISA. Apoptosis of 6-OHDA-treated SH-SY5Y cells was detected using flow cytometry, and phosphorylation level of JAK2 and STAT3 were detected using Western blot analysis. Results The survival rate of SH-SY5Y cells treated with 100 μM 6-OHDA for 24 h was about 50%. AS-IV (25–100 μM) significantly improved the viability (all p < 0.01), increased MAP2 expression, and repaired the morphological damage induced by 6-OHDA. AS-IV inhibited IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α level (all p < 0.05), reduced MDA and ROS content and increased SOD concentration, thereby reducing inflammation and oxidative stress (all p < 0.01) in 6-OHDA-treated SH-SY5Y cells. Moreover, AS-IV decreased apoptosis rate and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio induced by 6-OHDA (all p < 0.05). Mechanically, AS-IV significantly increased the phosphorylation of JAK2 and STAT3 (p < 0.01); the addition of SC99 decreased the cell viability, increased the apoptosis rate, enhanced the levels of inflammatory factors and oxidative stress. Conclusion AS-IV enhanced the cell viability, and inhibited apoptosis, inflammation and oxidative stress of 6-OHDA-treated SH-SY5Y cells via activating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. This study may confer novel insights for the management of PD.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), the number one cause of death worldwide, has always been the focus of clinical and scientific research. Due to the high number of deaths each year, it is essential to find alternative therapies that are safe and effective with minimal side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history of significant impact on the treatment of CVDs. The mode of action of natural active ingredients of drugs and the development of new drugs are currently hot topics in research on TCM. Astragalus membranaceus is a commonly used Chinese medicinal herb. Previous studies have shown that Astragalus membranaceus has anti-tumor properties and can regulate metabolism, enhance immunity, and strengthen the heart. Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) is the active ingredient of Astragalus membranaceus, which has a prominent role in cardiovascular diseases. AS-IV can protect against ischemic and hypoxic myocardial cell injury, inhibit myocardial hypertrophy and myocardial fibrosis, enhance myocardial contractility, improve diastolic dysfunction, alleviate vascular endothelial dysfunction, and promote angiogenesis. It can also regulate blood glucose and blood lipid levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, the mechanism of AS-IV intervention in cardiovascular diseases in recent years is reviewed in order to provide a reference for future research and new drug development.
