Heliyon 2023; 9:e20114. [PMID: 37809705 PMCID: PMC10559851 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e20114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Geniposide, as a pharmacologically bioactive component, is derived from a classic and common Chinese herb, Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. Geniposide has been shown to be effective for treating I/R injury in recent studies. Current effectively pharmaceutical treatments are scarce, and treatment based on geniposide may become a novel option. As far as we know, this research is the initial systematic evaluation of the protective effects of geniposide in I/R injury. Aim of the study This study is engrossed in evaluating the mechanism of action of geniposide in I/R injury through a preclinical systematic review with meta-analysis and network pharmacology. Materials and methods We built a systematic review which provided a view of effect and mechanism of geniposide for I/R injury. Based on seven databases, an open-ended search from their inception to August 31st, 2022, was conducted. Animal studies on the effects of geniposide in I/R injury were considered. The data was analyzed using Review Manager 5.3, and bias was assessed using the CAMARADES 10-item scale. 13 articles including 279 animals were selected finally. And network pharmacology was joined to elucidate the mechanism. Results According to the meta-analysis, in I/R injury, geniposide can attenuate cardiomyocytes viability and the size of MI, decrease the volume of cerebral infraction and neurological score, decrease serum ALT and AST activity, and downregulated serum Cr and BUN. The review found that geniposide protects against I/R injury by inhibiting apoptosis, oxidation, inflammation and improvement of autophagy and mitochondrial respiration, which is consistent with the results of the network pharmacology screening. Conclusion This preclinical systematic review including meta-analysis and network pharmacology, which was the first one summarizing the relationship between geniposide and ischemia diseases, shows a novel therapy for I/R injury and appears an enticing implication of geniposide in I/R injury, and further research is looked forward. Given the restricted quantity of included researches and the unclear risk of bias of the studies, we should interpret the results with caution.

Traditional Chinese medicine in treating ischemic stroke by modulating mitochondria: A comprehensive overview of experimental studies. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1138128. [PMID: 37033646 PMCID: PMC10073505 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1138128] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Ischemic stroke has been a prominent focus of scientific investigation owing to its high prevalence, complex pathogenesis, and difficulties in treatment. Mitochondria play an important role in cellular energy homeostasis and are involved in neuronal death following ischemic stroke. Hence, maintaining mitochondrial function is critical for neuronal survival and neurological improvement in ischemic stroke, and mitochondria are key therapeutic targets in cerebral stroke research. With the benefits of high efficacy, low cost, and high safety, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has great advantages in preventing and treating ischemic stroke. Accumulating studies have explored the effect of TCM in preventing and treating ischemic stroke from the perspective of regulating mitochondrial structure and function. In this review, we discuss the molecular mechanisms by which mitochondria are involved in ischemic stroke. Furthermore, we summarized the current advances in TCM in preventing and treating ischemic stroke by modulating mitochondria. We aimed to provide a new perspective and enlightenment for TCM in the prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke by modulating mitochondria.

Chin Med 2022; 17:144. [PMID: 36572936 PMCID: PMC9793677 DOI: 10.1186/s13020-022-00697-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been practiced and developed in China over thousands of years under the guidance of a series of complicated traditional theories. Herbs within TCM usually are classified according to their different properties ranging from cold, cool, warm to hot, which are simplified as Cold and Hot properties. TCM with either Cold or Hot properties are used in various formulae designed for the purpose of restoring the balance of patients. Emerging evidence has highlighted that an altered gut microbiota or host metabolism are critically involved in affecting the healing properties of TCM. However, at present the exact influences and crosstalk on the gut microbiota and host metabolism remain poorly understood. METHODS In the present study, the divergent impacts of six TCMs with either Cold or Hot properties on gut microbiome and host metabolism during short- or long-term intervention in mice were investigated. Six typical TCMs with Hot or Cold properties including Cinnamomi Cortex (rougui, RG), Zingiberis Rhizoma (ganjiang, GJ), Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata (fuzi, FZ), Rhei Radix et Rhizoma (dahuang, DH), Scutellariae Radix (huangqin, HQ), and Copitdis Rhizoma (huanglian, HL) were selected and orally administered to male C57BL/6J mice for a short- or a long-term (7 or 35 days). At the end of experiments, serum and cecal contents were collected for metabolomic and gut microbiome analyses using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or 16S ribosomal deoxyribonucleic acid (16S rDNA) sequencing. RESULTS The results revealed that the gut microbiome underwent divergent changes both in its composition and functions after short-term intervention with TCM possessing either Cold or Hot properties. Interestingly, the number of changed genus and bacteria pathways was reduced in Hot_LT, but was increased in Cold_LT, especially in the HL group. Increased α diversity and a reduced F/B ratio revealed the changes in Hot_ST, but a reduced Shannon index and increased altered bacteria function was evident in Cold_LT. The serum metabolic profile showed that the influence of TCM on host metabolism was gradually reduced over time. Glycolipid metabolism related pathways were specifically regulated by Hot_ST, but also surprisingly by Cold_LT. Reduced lactic acid in Cold_ST, increased tryptophan concentrations and decreased proline and threonine concentrations in Cold_LT perhaps highlighting the difference between the two natures influence on serum metabolism. These metabolites were closely correlated with altered gut microbiota shown by further correlation analyses. CONCLUSION The results indicated that TCM properties could be, at least partially characterized by an alteration in the gut microbiota and metabolic profile, implying that the divergent responses of gut microbiome and host metabolism are involved in different responses to TCM.

ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:25521-25531.

Abstract
Gardeniae fructus (GF), the fruit from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, is a traditional Chinese medicine used for the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the clinic. To explore the hepatoprotective mechanism of GF for the treatment of NAFLD, we proposed a novel strategy that integrated in vivo efficacy evaluation, network pharmacology analysis, molecular docking, and experimental validation. A NAFLD animal model induced by high fat diet (HFD) feed was established, then orally administrated with or without GF. The results showed that GF significantly decreased the levels of serum total cholesterol (TC), lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, free fatty acids, glucose, and insulin and the levels of liver TG, TC, and malondialdehyde compared with the nontreated HFD group. Network pharmacology studies showed that quercetin, oleanolic acid, kaempferol, and geniposide were the main biocompounds in GF that targeted the PPARα and PPARγ genes through regulating the PPAR and AMPK signal pathways to protect against NAFLD. The interactions between bioactive compounds and their corresponding target proteins were analyzed by molecular docking and subsequently confirmed using the qRT-PCR assay. Collectively, GF was a therapeutic drug for the treatment of NAFLD.
