[PMID: 39755669 DOI: 10.1186/s13020-024-01046-1] [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: 09/19/2024] [Accepted: 12/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/06/2025] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is a biochromatography with a dual function of recognition and separation, offering a distinct advantage in screening bioactive compounds from Chinese medicines (CMs). Yindan Xinnaotong soft capsule (YD), a CM formulation, has been widely utilized in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. However, a comprehensive mapping of the myocardial protective active compounds remains elusive. PURPOSE To establish a stable and efficient 2D H9c2/CMC-RPLC-MS system, and to utilize it for screening the active compounds of YD that are associated with myocardial protection. METHODS An imidazole-modified silica gel exhibiting high modification efficiency and protein binding capacity was synthesized to enhance the longevity and efficiency of H9c2/CMC. Subsequently, the potentially bioactive compounds of YD were screened by integrating the 2D H9c2/CMC-RPLC-MS system with a high-content component knockout strategy. Additionally, an RNA-seq approach was employed to predict the targets and mechanisms of YD and the active compounds for myocardial protection. RESULTS The developed imidazole-modified H9c2/CMC exhibits remarkable selectivity, specificity, stability, and reproducibility. Following three rounds of screening, a total of 24 potential myocardial protective compounds were identified, comprising 8 flavonoids, 8 phenolic acids, 4 saponins, and 4 tanshinones. Bioinformatic analysis utilizing RNA-seq indicated that the FOXO signaling pathway, with FOXO3 identified as a key target, plays a significant role in the cardioprotective effects of YD. Furthermore, all 24 screened compounds exhibit strong binding affinities with FOXO3 evaluated by molecular docking. CONCLUSION A highly stable and efficient 2D imidazole-modified H9c2/CMC-RPLC-MS system was developed, allowing for the screening of potentially active compounds from YD. Through the integration of the bioinformatic analysis, the pharmacodynamic foundation of YD for myocardial protection has been comprehensively characterized.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) contributes significantly to human health. Owing to the complexity of the ingredients in TCM, it is necessary to conduct basic research on effective substances and identify toxic substances to control the safety of medication. Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is an important method for identifying target components in complex systems. The cell membrane stationary phase (CMSP) is the core component and key factor in determining the effectiveness of CMC. This review summarizes the development of CMSP with different membrane protein immobilization strategies and the application of CMC in the discovery of active and toxic substances in TCM, with the aim of providing an effective means for the discovery of active ingredients and quality control of TCM.

Abstract
Accurate orientations and stable conformations of membrane receptor immobilization are particularly imperative for accurate drug screening and ligand-protein affinity analysis. However, there remain challenges associated with (1) traditional recombination, purification, and immobilization of membrane receptors, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive; (2) the orientations on the stationary phase are not easily controlled. Herein, a novel one-step synthesis and oriented-immobilization membrane-receptor affinity chromatography (oSOMAC) method was developed to realize high-throughput and accurate drug screening targeting specific domains of membrane receptors. We employed Strep-tag II as a noncovalent immobilization tag fused into platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ) through CFPS, and meanwhile, the Strep-Tactin-modified monolithic columns are prepared in batches. The advantages of oSOMAC are as follows: (1) targeted membrane receptors can be expressed independent of living cell within 1-2 h; (2) orientation of membrane receptors can be flexibly controlled and active sites can expose accurately; and (3) targeted membrane receptors can be synthesized, purified, and orientation-immobilized on monolithic columns in one step. Accordingly, three potential PDGFRβ intracellular domain targeted ligands: tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA), hydroxytanshinone IIA, and dehydrotanshinone IIA were successfully screened out from Salvia miltiorrhiza extract through oSOMAC. Pharmacological experiments and molecular docking further demonstrated that Tan IIA could attenuate hepatic stellate cells activation by targeting the protein kinase domain of PDGFRβ with a KD value of 9.7 μM. Ultimately, the novel oSOMAC method provides an original insight for accurate drug screening and interaction analysis which can be applied in other membrane receptors.

Abstract
In the search for pharmaceutically active compounds from natural products, it is crucial and challenging to develop separation methods that target not only structurally similar compounds but also a class of compounds with desired pharmaceutical functions. To achieve both structure-oriented and function-oriented selectivity, the choice of functional monomers with broad interactions or even biomimetic roles towards targeted compounds is essential. In this work, an imidazole (IM)-functionalized paper membrane was synthesized to realize selectivity. The IM was selected based on its capability to provide multiple interactions, participation in several bioprocesses, and experimental verification of adsorption performance. Using gallic acid as a representative component of Pomegranate Peel, the preparation conditions and extraction parameters were systematically investigated. The optimal membrane solid-phase extraction (MSPE) method allowed for enrichment of gallic acid from the complex matrix of Pomegranate Peel, enabling facile quantitative analysis with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.1 ng mL-1. Furthermore, with the aid of cheminformatics, the extracted compounds were found to be similar in both their structures and pharmaceutical functions. This work offers a novel approach to preparing a readily synthesized extraction membrane capable of isolating compounds with similar structures and pharmaceutical effects, and provides an MSPE-based analytical method for natural products.

Development of target-based cell membrane affinity ultrafiltration technology for a simplified approach to discovering potential bioactive compounds in natural products. Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:1647-1655.

Abstract
Target-based drug discovery technology based on cell membrane targets has gained significant traction and has been steadily advancing. However, current methods still face certain limitations that need to be addressed. One of the challenges is the laborious preparation process of screening materials, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Additionally, there is a potential issue of non-specific adsorption caused by carrier materials, which can result in false-positive results and compromise the accuracy of the screening process. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a target-based cell membrane affinity ultrafiltration technology for active ingredient discovery in natural products. In this technique, the cell membranes of human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cells (A549) with a high expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) were incubated with candidate drugs and then transferred to an ultrafiltration tube. Through centrifugation, components that interacted with EGFR were retained in the ultrafiltration tube as "EGFR-ligand" complex, while the components that did not interact with EGFR were separated. After thorough washing and eluting, the components interacting with EGFR were dissociated and further identified using LC-MS, enabling the discovery of bioactive compounds. Moreover, the target-based cell membrane affinity ultrafiltration technology exhibited commendable binding capacity and selectivity. Ultimately, this technology successfully screened and identified two major components from the Curcumae Rhizoma-Sparganii Rhizoma (CS) herb pair extracts, which were further validated for their potential anti-tumor activity through pharmacological experiments. By eliminating the need for laborious preparation of screening materials and the potential non-specific adsorption caused by carriers, the development of target-based cell membrane affinity ultrafiltration technology provides a simplified approach and method for bioactive compounds discovery in natural sources.

Abstract
Herbal medicines (HMs) are one of the main sources for the development of lead antiviral compounds. However, due to the complex composition of HMs, the screening of active compounds within these is inefficient and requires a significant time investment. We report a novel and efficient virus-based screening method for antiviral active compounds in HMs. This method involves the centrifugal ultrafiltration of viruses, known as the virus-based affinity ultrafiltration method (VAUM). This method is suitable to identify virus specific active compounds from complex matrices such as HMs. The effectiveness of the VAUM was evaluated using influenza A virus (IAV) H1N1. Using this method, four compounds that bind to the surface protein of H1N1 were identified from dried fruits of Terminalia chebula (TC). Through competitive inhibition assays, the influenza surface protein, neuraminidase (NA), was identified as the target protein of these four TC-derived compounds. Three compounds were identified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), and their anti-H1N1 activities were verified by examining the cytopathic effect (CPE) and by performing a virus yield reduction assay. Further mechanistic studies demonstrated that these three compounds directly bind to NA and inhibit its activity. In summary, we describe here a VAUM that we designed, one that can be used to accurately screen antiviral active compounds in HMs and also help improve the efficiency of screening antiviral drugs found in natural products.

Abstract
Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is an effective method for studying receptors with multiple transmembrane structure such as MAS-related G protein-coupled receptor X2 (MrgX2). CMC relies on the maintenance of the complete biological structure of a membrane receptor; however, it needs to be further improved to obtain a more convenient and stable CMC model. In the present study, the haloalkane dehalogenase protein tag (HALO-tag) technology was used to construct a new MrgX2/CMC model. The fusion receptors of MrgX2 with HALO-tag at the C terminus were expressed in HEK293 cells. The silica gel was modified with a substrate of HALO-tag (chloroalkanes) via one-step acylation for the rapid capture of fusion receptors. The new CMC model (MrgX2-HALO-tag/CMC model) was not only quicker to prepare but also more stable and had a longer lifespan than a previous MrgX2-SNAP-tag/CMC model. In combination with the high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) system, the MrgX2-HALO-tag/CMC model was used to screen and identify bioactive components in traditional Chinese medicine. Using this combination, sanggenon C and morusin were identified from Mori Cortex as anti-pseudo-allergic components. The MrgX2-HALO-tag/CMC model alone was also applied to analyze ligand-receptor interaction. The affinity order of four ligands to MrgX2 was as follows: desipramine < imipramine < amitriptyline < clomipramine. This was consistent with the results obtained using the MrgX2-SNAP-tag/CMC model. The MrgX2-HALO-tag/CMC model provides ideas and application prospects for the immobilization of cell membrane that contains receptors with more transmembrane structures.

Abstract
Cryptotanshinone (CPT), a bioactive compound derived from the traditional Chinese herb Salvia miltiorrhiza, exhibits promising antidepressant properties. Employing a rat model subjected to Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress (CUMS), behavioral analyses (open field experiment, elevated cross maze experiment, sugar water preference experiment, forced swimming experiment) and inflammatory factor assessments were conducted to assess the efficacy of CPT in alleviating depressive symptoms and inflammatory responses induced by CUMS. Moreover, 16 S rDNA analysis revealed alterations in the gut microbiota of rats exposed to both CUMS and CPT administration. Notably, CPT administration was found to mitigate harmful bacterial shifts associated with depression. Preliminary exploration of the molecular mechanism underlying CPT's antidepressant effects via transcriptomics analysis and molecular docking indicated that CPT might exert its influence by regulating the PI3K-AKT pathway. This study sheds light on the potential therapeutic role of CPT in managing depressive disorders, offering a comprehensive understanding of its impact on behavior, inflammation, gut microbiota, and molecular pathways.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 227:115721. [PMID: 36965788 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
The abnormal progression of tumors has been a problem for treatment of cancer and therapeutic should be directed towards targeting main mechanisms involved in tumorigenesis in tumors. The genomic mutations can result in changes in biological mechanisms in human cancers. Colorectal cancer is one of the most malignant tumors of gastrointestinal tract and its treatment has been faced some difficulties due to development of resistance in tumor cells and also, their malignant behavior. Hence, new therapeutic modalities for colorectal cancer are being investigated. Autophagy is a "self-digestion" mechanism that is responsible for homeostasis preserving in cells and its aberrant activation/inhibition can lead to tumorigenesis. The current review focuses on the role of autophagy mechanism in colorectal cancer. Autophagy may be associated with increase/decrease in progression of colorectal cancer due to mutual function of this molecular mechanism. Pro-survival autophagy inhibits apoptosis to increase proliferation and survival rate of colorectal tumor cells and it is also involved in cancer metastasis maybe due to EMT induction. In contrast, pro-death autophagy decreases growth and invasion of colorectal tumor cells. The status of autophagy (upregulation and down-regulation) is a determining factor for therapy response in colorectal tumor cells. Therefore, targeting autophagy can increase sensitivity of colorectal tumor cells to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Interestingly, nanoparticles can be employed for targeting autophagy in cancer therapy and they can both induce/suppress autophagy in tumor cells. Furthermore, autophagy modulators can be embedded in nanostructures in improving tumor suppression and providing cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Analytical screening and validation systems based on a combination of cell membrane chromatography and two-dimensional chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry are incapable of providing prepared samples containing the active ingredients found in traditional Chinese medicine; therefore, these samples cannot be directly used in subsequent studies. In this study, a semi-preparative cell membrane chromatography column was developed using a hydrogel-modified carrier and human umbilical vein endothelial cells to optimize prepared conditions, such as hydrogel polymerization, cell fragmentation, and cell membrane volume. This increased the binding ratio of membrane protein and carrier to 15.79 mg/g. The column was systematically evaluated using multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitors that displayed good specificity and reproducibility. Subsequently, using the column coupled with a semi-preparative high-performance liquid chromatography-offline-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry system, 15 active ingredients were screened and purified from Indigo naturalis, and five main components were identified: l-lysine, oxyresveratrol, tryptanthrin, isorhamnetin, and indirubin. Furthermore, the pharmacological effects of the ingredients were confirmed using cell proliferation and apoptosis assays. Results revealed potent proliferation-inhibiting and apoptosis-promoting abilities on human chronic myelogenous leukemic cells and human promyelocytic leukemic cells (p < 0.001). Overall, the system presented screening and purification functions that could be used to prepare I. naturalis samples acting on the epidermal growth factor receptor and vascular endothelial cell growth factor.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2023; 415:1371-1383.

Abstract
In this study, a novel cell membrane chromatography (CMC) model was developed to investigate cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147) targeted anti-tumor drug leads for specific screening and ligand-receptor interaction analysis by SNAP-tagged CD147 fusion protein conjugation and polystyrene microspheres (PS) modification. Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) are widely used in the treatment of cancer. CD147 plays important roles in tumor progression and acts as an attractive target for therapeutic intervention; therapeutic drugs for CD147-related cancers are limited to date. Thus, a screening method for active components in TCMs is crucial for the further research and development of CD147 antagonists. However, improvement is still needed to perform specific and accurate drug lead screening using the CMC-based method. Recently, our group developed a covalently immobilized receptor-SNAP-tag/CMC model using silica gel as carrier. Besides the carboxyl group on multi-step modified silica particles, the amino group of benzyl-guanine (BG, substrate of SNAP-tag) also possesses reactivity towards the carboxyl group on available carboxyl-modified PS. Herein, we used PS as carrier and an extended SNAP-tag with CD147 receptor to construct the PS-BG-CD147/CMC model for active compound investigation coupled with HPLC/MS and applied this coupled PS-BG-CD147/CMC-HPLC/MS two-dimensional system to drug lead screening from Nelumbinis Plumula extract (NPE) sample. In addition, to comprehensively verify the pharmacological effects of screened ingredients, a cell proliferation inhibition assay was performed, and the interaction between the ingredients and CD147 was studied by the frontal analysis method. This study developed a high-throughput PS-based CMC screening platform, which could be widely applied and utilized in chromatographic separation and drug lead discovery.

Abstract
In order to improve the separation process of affinity chromatography that has silica as the main carrier material, we sought to construct Lipid Rafts@CNBr-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography model. We extracted the lipid rafts from U251 cells with a descaler method and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Afterwards, it was discovered via immunofluorescence that the lipid rafts contain a large amount of tropomyosin-related kinase A (TrkA) protein. Also, agarose powder in the lyophilised state was pretreated, before the lipid rafts were coupled to the agarose gel in a coupling buffer of alkaline pH. CNBr-Sepharose 4B affinity gel packing was characterised using UV spectrophotometric, immunofluorescence and scanning electron microscopic techniques, wherein and the results showed that the lipid rafts were successfully coupled to the agarose gels. Three compounds were used to verify the specific sorption of Sepharose 4B and CNBr-Sepharose 4B, which showed no specific sorption on the materials. Of note, the prepared Lipid Rafts@CNBr-Sepharose 4B agarose gels packed with TrkA-rich target proteins could be successfully validated for the active drug gefitinib with high affinity sorption efficiency and eluted with good recovery and reproducibility. This study broadens the range of affinity chromatography carrier materials and provides a reference for research in active drug screening.

Novel transketolase inhibitor oroxylin A suppresses the non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway and hepatocellular carcinoma tumour growth in mice and patient-derived organoids. Clin Transl Med 2022; 12:e1095. [PMID: 36314067 PMCID: PMC9619225 DOI: 10.1002/ctm2.1095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Revised: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transketolase (TKT), a key rate-limiting enzyme in the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), provides more than 85% of the ribose required for de novo nucleotide biosynthesis and promotes the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Pharmacologic inhibition of TKT could impede HCC development and enhance treatment efficacy. However, no safe and effective TKT inhibitor has been approved. METHODS An online two-dimensional TKT protein immobilised biochromatographic system was established for high-throughput screening of TKT ligands. Oroxylin A was found to specifically bind TKT. Drug affinity responsive target stability, cellular thermal shift assay, surface plasmon resonance, molecular docking, competitive displacement assay, and site mutation were performed to identify the binding of oroxylin A with TKT. Antitumour effects of oroxylin A were evaluated in vitro, in human xenograft mice, diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced HCC mice, and patient-derived organoids (PDOs). Metabolomic analysis was applied to detect the enzyme activity. Transcriptome profiling was conducted to illustrate the anti-HCC mechanism of oroxylin A. TKT knocking-down HCC cell lines and PDOs were established to evaluate the role of TKT in oroxylin A-induced HCC suppression. RESULTS By targeting TKT, oroxylin A stabilised the protein to proteases and temperature extremes, decreased its activity and expression, resulted in accumulation of non-oxidative PPP substrates, and activated p53 signalling. In addition, oroxylin A suppressed cell proliferation, induced apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest, and inhibited the growth of human xenograft tumours and DEN-induced HCC in mice. Crucially, TKT depletion exerted identical effects to oroxylin A, and the promising inhibitor also exhibited excellent therapeutic efficacy against clinically relevant HCC PDOs. CONCLUSIONS These results uncover a unique role for oroxylin A in TKT inhibition, which directly targets TKT and suppresses the non-oxidative PPP. Our findings will facilitate the development of small-molecule inhibitors of TKT and novel therapeutics for HCC.

Abstract
Inspired by the interpretation of two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, an efficient strategy was proposed for pinpointing bioactive components from complex natural products. An off-line comprehensive countercurrent chromatography (CCC) × high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed to achieve a 2D chemical chromatogram, and 2D bioassay profilings were obtained from bioassays of the eluent of the first dimension (1D) CCC and the eluent of the second dimension (2D) HPLC. Then 2D chemical chromatograms and 2D bioassay profilings were matched for pinpointing bioactive natural components from complex matrices. Thus, bioactive components in a complex matrix could be efficiently analyzed, separated, and bioactivity-determined. This experimental scheme was successfully demonstrated with a traditional medicinal herb Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb. et Zucc. The feasibility of this 2D strategy was verified with tyrosinase inhibition assay, α-glucosidase inhibition assay, DPPH radical scavenging assay, and ABTS•+ decolorization assay. Eight natural inhibitors were successfully pinpointed and identified from P. cuspidatum. Both pieceid-2″-O-gallate (10) and vanicoside B (20) were screened and identified as natural tyrosinase inhibitors for the first time. Meanwhile, vanicoside B (20) was also found as the strongest α-glucosidase inhibitor among all the isolated components. Most of the compounds exhibited much higher radical scavenging activities. Compared with traditional methodology based on one-dimensional chromatographic separation, the present 2D strategy would be more precise, efficient, and convenient to screen and separate bioactive compounds from complex matrices.

Abstract
Cryptotanshinone (CTS), a diterpenoid quinone, is found mostly in Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (S. miltiorrhiza) and plays a crucial role in many cellular processes, such as cell proliferation/self-renewal, differentiation and apoptosis. In particular, CTS’s profound physiological impact on various stem cell populations and their maintenance and fate determination could improve the efficiency and accuracy of stem cell therapy for high-incidence disease. However, as much promise CTS holds, these CTS-mediated processes are complex and multifactorial and many of the underlying mechanisms as well as their clinical significance for high-incidence diseases are not yet fully understood. This review aims to shed light on the impact and mechanisms of CTS on the actions of diverse stem cells and the involvement of CTS in the many processes of stem cell behavior and provide new insights for the application of CTS and stem cell therapy in treating high-incidence diseases.

J Sep Sci 2022; 45:3725-3734. [PMID: 35906749 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202200286] [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: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 07/20/2022] [Accepted: 07/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Cell membrane ligand-affinity assay is a useful tool for screening the active compounds from natural products. However, in traditional cell membrane ligand-affinity assays, natural products need to be refluxed, before being analyzed. This process consumes considerable time and energy and cannot be used for screening natural products that contain thermally unstable compounds. Therefore, an efficient analytical method is required. In this study, chitosan-based matrix solid-phase dispersion extraction was combined with cell membrane magnetic bead ligand-affinity assay to form a novel method for identifying the active compounds in Fructus Cnidii such as osthole and imperatorin. When compared with traditional cell membrane ligand-affinity assays, this assay requires less energy, extraction time (7 min), solvent volume (1.2 mL) and fewer natural products (40 mg). This indicates that the chitosan-based matrix solid-phase dispersion extraction assisted cell membrane magnetic beads ligand-affinity assay is an alternative analytical method for studying natural products.

Screening of immune cell activators from Astragali Radix using a comprehensive two-dimensional NK-92MI cell membrane chromatography/C18 column/time-of-flight mass spectrometry system. J Pharm Anal 2022; 12:725-732. [PMID: 36320599 PMCID: PMC9615523 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpha.2022.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Revised: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Astragali Radix (AR) is a clinically used herbal medicine with multiple immunomodulatory activities that can strengthen the activity and cytotoxicity of natural killer (NK) cells. However, owing to the complexity of its composition, the specific active ingredients in AR that act on NK cells are not clear yet. Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is mainly used to screen the active ingredients in a complex system of herbal medicines. In this study, a new comprehensive two-dimensional (2D) NK-92MI CMC/C18 column/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) system was established to screen for potential NK cell activators. To obtain a higher column efficiency, 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane-modified silica was synthesized to prepare the NK-92MI CMC column. In total, nine components in AR were screened from this system, which could be washed out from the NK-92MI/CMC column after 10 min, and they showed good affinity for NK-92MI/CMC column. Two representative active compounds of AR, isoastragaloside I and astragaloside IV, promoted the killing effect of NK cells on K562 cells in a dose-dependent manner. It can thus suggest that isoastragaloside I and astragaloside IV are the main immunomodulatory components of AR. This comprehensive 2D NK-92MI CMC analytical system is a practical method for screening immune cell activators from other herbal medicines with immunomodulatory effects. A comprehensive 2D NK-92MI/CMC system was developed to screen for immune cell activators. Nine components of Astragali Radix were screened as potential immune activators. Isoastragaloside I and astragaloside IV were first confirmed to have immunomodulatory effects.

In situ synthesis and unidirectional insertion of membrane proteins in liposome-immobilized silica stationary phase for rapid preparation of microaffinity chromatography. Acta Pharm Sin B 2022; 12:3682-3693.

Abstract
Cell membrane affinity chromatography has been widely applied in membrane protein (MP)-targeted drug screening and interaction analysis. However, in current methods, the MP sources are derived from cell lines or recombinant protein expression, which are time-consuming for cell culture or purification, and also difficult to ensure the purity and consistent orientation of MPs in the chromatographic stationary phase. In this study, a novel in situ synthesis membrane protein affinity chromatography (iSMAC) method was developed utilizing cell-free protein expression (CFE) and covalent immobilized affinity chromatography, which achieved efficient in situ synthesis and unidirectional insertion of MPs into liposomes in the stationary phase. The advantages of iSMAC are: 1) There is no need to culture cells or prepare recombinant proteins; 2) Specific and purified MPs with stable and controllable content can be obtained within 2 h; 3) MPs maintain the transmembrane structure and a consistent orientation in the chromatographic stationary phase; 4) The flexible and personalized construction of cDNAs makes it possible to analyze drug binding sites. iSMAC was successfully applied to screen PDGFRβ inhibitors from Salvia miltiorrhiza and Schisandra chinensis. Micro columns prepared by in-situ synthesis maintain satisfactory analysis activity within 72 h. Two new PDGFRβ inhibitors, salvianolic acid B and gomisin D, were screened out with KD values of 13.44 and 7.39 μmol/L, respectively. In vitro experiments confirmed that the two compounds decreased α-SMA and collagen Ӏ mRNA levels raised by TGF-β in HSC-T6 cells through regulating the phosphorylation of p38, AKT and ERK. In vivo, Sal B could also attenuate CCl4-induced liver fibrosis by downregulating PDGFRβ downstream related protein levels. The iSMAC method can be applied to other general MPs, and provides a practical approach for the rapid preparation of MP-immobilized or other biological solid-phase materials.

Abstract
Biomimetic nanoengineering presents great potential in biomedical research by integrating cell membrane (CM) with functional nanoparticles. However, preparation of CM biomimetic nanomaterials for custom applications that can avoid the aggregation of nanocarriers while maintaining the biological activity of CM remains a challenge. Herein, a high-performance CM biomimetic graphene nanodecoy was fabricated via purposeful surface engineering, where polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used to modifying magnetic graphene oxide (MGO) to improve its stability in physiological solution, so as to improve the screening efficiency to active components of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). With this strategy, the constructed PEGylated MGO (PMGO) could keep stable at least 10 days, thus improving the CM coating efficiency. Meanwhile, by taking advantage of the inherent ability of HeLa cell membrane (HM) to interact with specific ligands, HM-camouflaged PMGO showed satisfied adsorption capacity (116.2 mg/g) and selectivity. Finally, three potential active components, byakangelicol, imperatorin, and isoimperatorin, were screened from Angelica dahurica, whose potential antiproliferative activity were further validated by pharmacological studies. These results demonstrated that the purposeful surface engineering is a promising strategy for the design of efficient CM biomimetic nanomaterials, which will promote the development of active components screening in TCM.

Abstract
The cell membrane-coated monolithic column (CMMC) ligand fishing assay is an interesting approach set up for the study of natural products (NPs). NPs such as Atractylodes lancea contain many compounds. Traditional methods used to separate compounds and determine active compounds by pharmacological tests are time-consuming and inefficient. Therefore, an alternative method is required to determine active compounds in NPs. Here, white blood cells were broken, and the white blood cell membranes (WBCMs) were immobilized on the surface of a monolithic column to form a CMMC. The column was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Combined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), the CMMC was used to screen active compounds in Atractylodes lancea. Three potential active compounds including hinesol, β-eudesmol, and 4-phenylbenzaldehyde were discovered. A molecular docking assay demonstrated that these compounds could bind to MD-2 laid on WBCMs. In addition, antiinflammatory effects by the discovered compound in vitro were confirmed, and β-eudesmol showed a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α of a RAW264.7 cell (P < 0.05). The CMMC ligand fishing assay exhibits good selectivity, great speed effects and is a potentially reliable tool for drug discovery in NPs.

Abstract
Membrane protein immobilization is particularly significant in in vitro drug screening and determining drug-receptor interactions. However, there are still some problems in the immobilization of membrane proteins with controllable direction and high conformational stability, activity, and specificity. Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) retains the complete biological structure of membrane proteins. However, conventional CMC has the limitation of poor stability, which results in its limited life span and low reproducibility. To overcome this limitation, we propose a method for the specific covalent immobilization of membrane proteins in cell membranes. We used the SNAP-tag as an immobilization tag fused to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and Cys145 located at the active site of the SNAP-tag reacted with the benzyl group of O6-benzylguanine (BG). The SNAP-tagged EGFR was expressed in HEK293 cells. We captured the SNAP-tagged EGFR from the cell membrane suspension onto a BG-derivative-modified silica gel. Our immobilization strategy improved the life span and specificity of CMC and minimized loss of activity and nonspecific attachment of proteins. Next, a SNAP-tagged EGFR/CMC online HPLC-IT-TOF-MS system was established to screen EGFR antagonists from Epimedii folium. Icariin, magnoflorine, epimedin B, and epimedin C were retained in this model, and pharmacological assays revealed that magnoflorine could inhibit cancer cell growth by targeting the EGFR. This EGFR immobilization method may open up possibilities for the immobilization of other membrane proteins and has the potential to serve as a useful platform for screening receptor-binding leads from natural medicinal herbs.

Abstract
Among cancers, colorectal cancer (CRC) has one of the highest annual incidence and death rates. Considering severe adverse reactions associated with classical chemotherapy medications, traditional Chinese medicines have become potential drug candidates. In the current study, the effects of cryptotanshinone (CPT), a major component of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Danshen) on CRC and underlying mechanism were explored. First of all, data from in vitro experiments and in vivo zebrafish models indicated that CPT selectively inhibited the growth and proliferation of HCT116 and SW620 cells while had little effect on SW480 cells. Secondly, both ER stress and autophagy were associated with CRC viability regulation. Interestingly, ER stress inhibitor and autophagy inhibitor merely alleviated cytotoxic effects on HCT116 cells in response to CPT stimulation, while have little effect on SW620 cells. The significance of apoptosis, autophagy and ER stress were verified by clinical data from CRC patients. In summary, the current study has revealed the anti-cancer effects of CPT in CRC by activating autophagy signaling mediated by ER stress. CPT is a promising drug candidate for CRC treatment.

Abstract
A novel stability-enhanced graphene quantum dot (GQD)-decorated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) cell membrane chromatography was constructed to study the potential application of GQDs in bioaffinity chromatography, and to screen active components acting on EGFR from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The carboxyl groups on the surface of GQDs reacted with the amino groups of the amino-silica gel (SiO2-NH2) to form a covalent bond, thereby preparing the GQD-decorated silica gel (SiO2-GQDs). The EGFR cell membrane was further immobilized on the SiO2-GQDs through the same covalent binding method to obtain the GQD-decorated cell membrane stationary phase (SiO2-GQDs-CMSP). In this way, the cell membrane was firmly immobilized on the decorated silica carrier. The life span and stability of the GQD-decorated cell membrane chromatographic (SiO2-GQDs-CMC) column were both enhanced, and the optimal immobilization conditions of the EGFR cell membrane were also determined. This model was then verified by establishing a SiO2-GQDs-CMC online liquid chromatography-ion trap-time-of-flight (LC-IT-TOF) system to screen possible active components in Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn. As a result, praeruptorin B (Pra-B) was screened out, and its inhibitory effect against EGFR cell growth was evaluated by the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Molecular docking assay was also conducted to further estimate the interaction between Pra-B and EGFR. Overall, this research indicated that GQDs may be a promising nanomaterial to be used in prolonging the life span of the CMC column, and Pra-B could be a potential EGFR inhibitor so as to treat cancer.

Comparative two-dimensional GPC3 overexpressing SK-Hep1 cell membrane chromatography /C18/ time-of-flight mass spectrometry for screening selective GPC3 inhibitor components from Scutellariae Radix. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2021; 1163:122492. [PMID: 33418242 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2020.122492] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2020] [Revised: 11/30/2020] [Accepted: 12/04/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Screening active components targeting membrane proteins is important for drug discovery from traditional Chinese medicine. Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) has achieved a wide application in screening active components on pathological cells due to its high sensitivity and effectiveness. However, it is hard to clarify the specific target protein through simply using pathological and normal cells. In this study, a novel comparative two-dimensional (2D) cell membrane chromatography system was established. Based on the construction of hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SK-Hep1-GPC3 with high expression of protein Glypican-3 (GPC3), SK-Hep1-GPC3/CMC column was loaded to screen selective antitumor components from Scutellariae Radix according to the retention behaviors on column. Viscidulin I was retained on SK-Hep1-GPC3/CMC column, and showed 4.33 μM affinity to GPC3 according to surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The IC50 of viscidulin I on SK-Hep1-GPC3 cells was 18.01 μM in cell proliferation assay. Thus, this method can be applied to screen complex herbal medicines for ligands bound to specific target protein receptor related to hepatic carcinoma.

Abstract
Despite the recent increase in the development of bioactive molecules in the drug industry, the enormous chemical space and lack of productivity are still important issues. Additional alternative approaches to screen and locate bioactive molecules are urgently needed. Label-free bio-affinity mass spectrometry (BA-MS) provides opportunities for the discovery and development of innovative drugs. This review provides a comprehensive portrayal of BA-MS techniques and of their applications in screening and locating bioactive molecules. After introducing the basic principles, alongside some application notes, the current state-of-the-art of BA-MS-assisted drug discovery is discussed, including native MS, size-exclusion chromatography-MS, ultrafiltration-MS, solid-phase micro-extraction-MS, and cell membrane chromatography-MS. Finally, several challenges and limitations of the current methods are summarized, with a view to potential future directions for BA-MS-assisted drug discovery. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Abstract
Bio-affinity chromatography is used in the study of drug-receptor interactions. A stepwise frontal analysis (SFA) method was developed based on frontal analysis (FA). A high expression alpha 1A adrenergic receptor (α1A AR) cell membrane chromatography (CMC) method was then developed and combined with SFA to investigate the affinity of three model α1A AR-binding drugs towards α1A AR. Equilibrium dissociation constant (Kd) values for drug-receptor interactions were determined by FA and SFA; results showed that these methods were highly consistent. The results demonstrate that the CMC/SFA method is a time-saving and less wasteful method than traditional method for the evaluation of drug-receptor binding characteristics, and could be used to study the interactions between drugs and membrane receptors.

Abstract
Crystal-induced kidney injury (CIKI) is the fundamental pathological change during nephrolithiasis, although the molecular mechanism is still unclear. Pyrrosia calvata (Bak.) Ching has been used in folk medicine to treat urolithiasis for years. To clarify the pharmacodynamic substances and the mechanism of its antiurolithiasis effects, in this study, a novel, stop-flow, comprehensive, two-dimensional (2D) HK-2 and HK-2/CIKI cell membrane chromatography (CMC) comparative analysis system was developed to screen for the potential active ingredients from Pyrrosia calvata (Bak.) Ching against CIKI. The comprehensive 2D CMC comparative analysis system showed satisfactory selectivity, and eight ingredients were screened and identified by this system. Among them, mangiferin exhibited higher affinity for the HK-2/CIKI CMC column than the HK-2 CMC column and was selected for further efficacy verification. Cell proliferation assays showed that mangiferin could protect HK-2 cell viability after stimulation with sodium oxalate (NaOX). Additionally, in a rodent model of CIKI, mangiferin decreased the deposition of calcium oxalate (CaOX) crystals in mouse kidneys, alleviated the pathological damage to kidney tissue, and inhibited the upregulation of OPN, MCP1, and CD44 expression caused by CaOX crystals. The established comprehensive 2D CMC comparative analysis system can be applied to screen active ingredients with disease specificity from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is suitable for other cell models.

Abstract
The actin-bundling protein L-plastin (LPL) mediates the resorption activity of osteoclasts, but its therapeutic potential in pathological bone loss remains unexplored. Here, we report that LPL knockout mice show increased bone mass and cortical thickness with more mononuclear tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive cells, osteoblasts, CD31hiEmcnhi endothelial vessels, and fewer multinuclear osteoclasts in the bone marrow and periosteum. LPL deletion impeded preosteoclasts fusion by inhibiting filopodia formation and increased the number of preosteoclasts, which release platelet-derived growth factor-BB to promote CD31hiEmcnhi vessel growth and bone formation. LPL expression is regulated by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT/specific protein 1 axis in response to receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand. Furthermore, we identified an LPL inhibitor, oroxylin A, that could maintain bone mass in ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis and accelerate bone fracture healing in mice. In conclusion, we showed that LPL regulates osteoclasts fusion, and targeting LPL serves as a novel anabolic therapy for pathological bone loss.

Abstract
Natural products have provided numerous lead compounds for drug discovery. However, the traditional analytical methods cannot detect most of these active components, especially at their usual low concentrations, from complex natural products. Herein, we reviewed the recent technological advances (2015–2019) related to the separation and screening bioactive components from natural resources, especially the emerging screening methods based on the bioaffinity techniques, including biological chromatography, affinity electrophoresis, affinity mass spectroscopy, and the latest magnetic and optical methods. These screening methods are uniquely advanced compared to other traditional methods, and they can fish out the active components from complex natural products because of the affinity between target and components, without tedious separation works. Therefore, these new tools can reduce the time and cost of the drug discovery process and accelerate the development of more effective and better-targeted therapeutic agents.

Development of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS)-modified bone marrow mononuclear cell membrane chromatography for screening anti-osteoporosis components from Scutellariae Radix. Acta Pharm Sin B 2020; 10:1856-1865. [PMID: 33163340 PMCID: PMC7606177 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2020.01.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2019] [Revised: 12/13/2019] [Accepted: 12/16/2019] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoporosis is a bone metabolic disease caused by the imbalance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts due to excess osteoclastogenesis, manifesting in the decrease of bone density and bone strength. Scutellariae Radix shows good anti-osteoporosis activity, but the effective component is still unclear. Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is a biological affinity chromatography with membrane immobilized on a silica carrier as the stationary phase. It can realize a dynamical simulation of interactions between drugs and receptors on cell membrane, which is suitable for screening active compounds from complex systems. In this study, the components of Scutellariae Radix with potential anti-osteoporosis activity through inhibiting the differentiation from bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) to osteoclast were screened by a BMMC/CMC analytical system. Firstly, a new 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS)-modified BMMC/CMC stationary phase was developed to realize covalent binding with cell membrane fractions. By investigating the retention time (tR) of the positive drug, the life span of the MPTS-modified CMC columns was significantly improved from 3 to 12 days. Secondly, 6 components of Scutellariae Radix were screened to show affinity to membrane receptors on BMMCs by a two-dimensional BMMC/CMC–TOFMS analytical system. Among them, tectochrysin demonstrated the best anti-osteoporosis effect in vitro, which has never been reported. We found that tectochrysin could inhibit the differentiation of BMMCs into osteoclasts induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor-κΒ ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) in a concentration-dependent manner in vitro. In vivo, it significantly reduced the loss of bone trabeculae in ovariectomized mice, and decreased the level of C-terminal cross-linking telopeptides of type 1 collagen (CTX-1), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP-5b), interleukin 6 (IL-6) in serum. In conclusion, tectochrysin serves as a potential candidate in the treatment of osteoporosis. The proposed two-dimensional MPTS-modified BMMC/CMC-TOFMS analytical system shows the advantages of long-life span and fast recognition ability, which is very suitable for infrequent cell lines.

Abstract
Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) has been widely used for characterizing the interaction between drugs and membrane receptors to screen target components from herbal medicines. However, the column life, stability, and the efficiency cannot meet the needs of high-throughput screening purpose. In this study, a P-glycoprotein immobilized cell membrane stationary phase (P-gp/CMSP) was prepared with a simple and mild two-step aldehyde modification, realizing the covalent bonding between cell membrane and stationary phase. The column life and stability were significantly enhanced compared with the unmodified columns. The P-gp/CMC column was equipped into a comprehensive 2D P-gp/CMC/Capcell-C18/TOFMS system, which actualizes the automated and high-throughput analytical process and rapid identification of complex chemical samples with no data loss. Five compounds with significant retention were screened out and unambiguously identified by the comprehensive 2D analytical system. Baicalin was confirmed as a P-gp inhibitor with ATP depletion inhibition ratio of 83.4%. Moreover, the reversal index of baicalin on DOX significantly increased to 11.13 when its concentration reached 25 μM, revealing that baicalin could effectively reverse the MDR cell model induced by DOX. The integrated system is a practical drug discovery platform and could be applied to other transmembrane protein models.

Abstract
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is one of the polymers extensively applied in biomedicine. However, the application of PTFE as a small-diameter vascular graft results in thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia because of the immune response. Therefore, improving the biocompatibility and anticoagulant properties of PTFE is a key to solving this problem. In this study, a hydroxyl group-rich surface was obtained by oxidizing a benzoin-reduced PTFE membrane. Then, chondroitin sulfate (CS), an anticoagulant, was grafted on the surface of the hydroxylated PTFE membrane using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. The successful modification of the membrane in each step was demonstrated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Hydroxylation and the grafting of CS greatly increased the hydrophilicity and roughness of membrane samples. Moreover, the hydroxylated PTFE membrane enhanced the adhesion ability of endothelial cells, and the grafting of CS also promoted the proliferation of endothelial cells and decreased platelet adhesion. The results indicate that the PTFE membranes grafted with CS are able to facilitate rapid endothelialization and inhibit thrombus formation, which makes the proposed method outstanding for artificial blood vessel applications.

Abstract
Buyang Huanwu decoction (BHD), a popular formulation prescribed in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for the treatment of ischemic stroke, has been reported to have a potential role in promoting axonal regeneration. The purpose of the study was to screen and identify bioactive compounds from BHD using live PC12 cells coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). Using this approach, we successfully identified six bioactive components from BHD. These components have protective effects on oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) injury to PC12 cells. Furthermore, calycosin-7-d-glucoside (CG) and formononetin-7-O-β-d-glucoside (FG) could upregulate the protein expression of growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). This study suggests that living cells combined with HPLC-MS/MS can be used for the screening of active ingredients in TCMs.

Abstract
Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Danshen), a famous traditional Chinese herb, has been used clinically for the treatment of various diseases for centuries. Document data showed that tanshinones, a class of lipophilic abietane diterpenes rich in this herb, possess multiple biological effects in vitro and in vivo models. Among which, 15,16-dihydrotanshinone I (DHT) has received much attention in recent years. In this systematical review, we carefully selected, analyzed, and summarized high-quality publications related to pharmacological effects and the underlying mechanisms of DHT. DHT has anti-cancer, cardiovascular protective, anti-inflammation, anti-Alzheimer's disease, and other effects. Furthermore, several molecules such as hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α), human antigen R (HuR), acetylcholinesterase (AchE), etc. have been identified as the potential targets for DHT. The diverse pharmacological activities of DHT provide scientific evidence for the local and traditional uses of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. We concluded that DHT might serve as a lead compound for drug discovery in related diseases while further in-depth investigations are still needed.

A strategy for screening bioactive components from natural products based on two-dimensional cell membrane chromatography and component-knockout approach. J Chromatogr A 2019; 1601:171-177.

Abstract
Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is a bioaffinity chromatographic method used to screen active compounds from natural products. However, since the receptor capacity of CMC column is limited, high content/affinity compounds may cause column overloading and thus lead to ignorance of other positive candidates. For avoiding this effect and comprehensively discovering bioactive components, a strategy based on two-dimensional CMC and component-knockout approach was proposed. As an illustrative case study, red yeast rice (RYR), a rice product with good myocardial protective effect in clinical studies, was selected as the model experimental sample. For discovering its potential cardioprotective compounds, a CMC model with H9c2 rat cardiac myoblasts (H9c2/CMC) with good selectivity, stability and reproducibility was established. By using two-dimensional H9c2/CMC-HPLC coupled with QTOF MS system, three components were firstly screened out. After knocking out high content/affinity compound, another four bioactive compounds were then found. By this two-round screening, column overloading caused by high concentration or infinity compounds was avoided, and trace compounds were enriched. As a result, one pigment and six monacolins from RYR were fished out. The results indicate the proposed strategy might be used to discover active compounds from complex matrix.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been practiced for thousands of years and at the present time is widely accepted as an alternative treatment for cancer. In this review, we sought to summarize the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the chemopreventive and therapeutic activity of TCM, especially that of the Chinese herbal medicine-derived phytochemicals curcumin, resveratrol, and berberine. Numerous genes have been reported to be involved when using TCM treatments and so we have selectively highlighted the role of a number of oncogene and tumor suppressor genes in TCM therapy. In addition, the impact of TCM treatment on DNA methylation, histone modification, and the regulation of noncoding RNAs is discussed. Furthermore, we have highlighted studies of TCM therapy that modulate the tumor microenvironment and eliminate cancer stem cells. The information compiled in this review will serve as a solid foundation to formulate hypotheses for future studies on TCM-based cancer therapy.

Abstract
Ligand fishing is a widely used approach for screening active compounds from natural products. Recently, cell membrane (CM) as affinity ligand has been applied in ligand fishing, including cell membrane chromatography (CMC) and CM-coated magnetic bead. However, these methods possess many weaknesses, including complicated preparation processes and time-consuming operation. In this study, cheap and easily available cellulose filter paper (CFP) was selected as carrier of CM and used to fabricate a novel CM-coated CFP (CMCFP) for the first time. The type of CFP was optimized according to the amount of immobilized protein, and the immobilization of CM onto CFP by the insertion and self-fusion process was verified by confocal imaging. The CMCFP exhibited good selectivity and stability and was used for fishing potentially active compounds from extracts of Angelica dahurica. Three potentially active compounds, including bergapten, pabulenol, and imperatorin, were fished out and identified. The traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform was used to build an active compound-target protein network, and accordingly, the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-1 (GABRA1) was deduced as potential target of CM for the active compounds of Angelica dahurica. Molecular docking was performed to evaluate the interaction between active compounds and GABRA1, and bergapten was speculated as a new potentially active compound. Compared with other methods, the fishing assay based on CMCFP was more effective, simpler, and cheaper.

Abstract
Cell membrane chromatography is a promising technique for screening active components from complex matrices. Unfortunately, the large consumption of cells and low resolutions of analytes limit the applications of this method. Herein, we report polyether ether ketone tube as a novel cellular membrane carrier for cell membrane chromatography. Its inner surface is firstly coated by polyvinyl alcohol and then cell membranes are physically adsorbed onto the polyvinyl alcohol layer. To verify this approach, osteoclast and osteoblast micro-column were prepared and characterized by calcitonin and verapamil, respectively. Comparing with common cell membrane chromatographic column, the micro-cell membrane chromatographic columns showed about 1000-fold decrease of cell consumption and satisfactory retention behavior. The developed column was applied to screen potential active components from Cortex Phellodendri Chinensis. A total of 18 components in Cortex Phellodendri Chinensis extract were observed as having retention property of osteoclast micro-cell membrane chromatographic column, while 10 components retained on osteoblast micro-cell membrane chromatographic column. The results of in vitro assay showed that berberine, obacunoic acid and phellodendrine had an obvious inhibitory effect on osteoclast differentiation and function. Berberine and tetrahydropalmatine increased the osteoblast proliferations and mineralized nodules density. This cell membrane/polyvinyl alcohol column can be applied to various biological chromatography models.
