Abstract
Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides critically threatens the growth and commercial cultivation of Sarcandra glabra . However, the defence responses and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Herein, we aimed to investigate the molecular reprogramming in S. glabra leaves infected with C. gloeosporioides . Leaf tissues at 0, 24 and 48h post-inoculation (hpi) were analysed by combining RNA sequencing and Tandem Mass Tag-based liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. In total, 18 441 and 25 691 differentially expressed genes were identified at 24 and 48hpi compared to 0hpi (uninoculated control), respectively. In addition, 1240 and 1570 differentially abundant proteins were discovered at 24 and 48hpi compared to 0hpi, respectively. Correlation analysis revealed that transcription and translation levels were highly consistent regarding repeatability and expression. Analyses using databases KEGG and iPATH revealed tricitric acid cycle, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis were induced, whereas photosynthesis and tryptophan were suppressed. Enzymatic activity assay results were consistent with the upregulation of defence-related enzymes including superoxide dismutases, catalases, peroxidases and chitinases. The transcriptome expression results were additionally validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analyses. This study provides insights into the molecular reprogramming in S. glabra leaves during infection, which lay a foundation for investigating the mechanisms of host-Colletotrichum interactions and breeding disease-resistant plants.

Abstract
Sarcandra glabra (Thunb.) Nakai is a perennial evergreen herb categorised within the Sarcandra Gardner genus under the Chloranthaceae family. Indigenous to tropical and subtropical regions of East Asia and India, this species is extensively distributed across China, particularly in the southern regions (Sichuan, Yunnan, and Jiangxi). In addition to its high ornamental value, S. glabra has a rich history of use in traditional Chinese medicine, evident through its empirical prescriptions for various ailments like pneumonia, dysentery, fractures, bruises, numbness, amenorrhea, rheumatism, and other diseases. Besides, modern pharmacological studies have revealed various biological activities, such as antitumour, anti-bacterial, anti-viral anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. The diverse chemical constituents of S. glabra have fascinated natural product researchers since the 1900s. To date, over 400 compounds including terpenoids, coumarins, lignans, flavonoids, sterols, anthraquinones, organic acids, and organic esters have been isolated and characterised, some featuring unprecedented structures. This review comprehensively examines the current understanding of S. glabra's phytochemistry and pharmacology, with emphasis on the chemistry and biosynthesis of its unique chemotaxonomic marker, the lindenane-type sesquiterpenoids.

Uvangoletin, extracted from Sarcandra glabra, exerts anticancer activity by inducing autophagy and apoptosis and inhibiting invasion and migration on hepatocellular carcinoma cells. PHYTOMEDICINE 2021; 94:153793. [PMID: 34736000 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2021.153793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2021] [Revised: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 10/03/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Uvangoletin is a dihydrochalcone extracted from the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Sarcandra glabra. Previous research has showed that uvangoletin could induce leukemia cell death. However, the anticancer effect of uvangoletin on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been clarified. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to investigate the anti-cancer effects of uvangoletin on HCC and to explore its underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS We measured the anticancer activities of uvangoletin both in vitro and in vivo by MTT assay and HepG2 xenograft model. The effects of uvangoletin on apoptosis, autophagy, migration and invasion were also determined. Apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry method. Autophagy was assessed by immunofluorescence assay. Cell migration and invasion ability were validated by wound healing assay and cultrex® 96 well cell migration/invasion assay. The expression level of relevant proteins and pathways were examined by western blot. RESULTS The results of MTT assay and HepG2 xenograft model showed that uvangoletin could inhibit HCC cells proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Uvangoletin could induce HepG2 cell apoptosis as evidence by the increased expression of cleaved caspase 3, caspase 8 and Bax while decreased Bcl-2 expression. Wound healing assay and transwell assay showed that uvangoletin inhibited HepG2 cells migration and invasion and reduced vimentin, MMP9, MMP2 expression. Uvangoletin also promoted autophagy in HepG2 cells as confirmed by the accumulation of GFP-LC3 puncta. Autophagy inhibitors like 3-MA or CQ could suppress uvangoletin-induced apoptosis. Importantly, uvangoletin-induced anti-EMT effect was also attenuated after autophagy inhibitors added in. Mechanistically, the expressions of p-JNK, p-ERK, p-p38, p-AKT, p-p70S6k and p-mTOR were significantly decreased after uvangoletin treatment. CONCLUSION Our results showed that uvangoletin could induce apoptotic and autophagic cell death, inhibit cell proliferation and metastasis on HepG2 cells through Akt/mTOR, MAPK and TGFβ/Smad2 signal pathways.

Abstract
Immunological adjuvants are an important part of tumor vaccines and are critical for stimulating anti-tumor immune responses. However, the clinical needs of strong adjuvants have not been met. In this work, we found that the purified acidic polysaccharide from Sarcandra glabra, named p-SGP, is an ideal adjuvant for tumor vaccines. Cancer vaccines could induce stronger humoral and cellular immune responses when they are adjuvanted with p-SGP. Compared with CpG, a well-studied adjuvant, p-SGP significantly augmented the anti-tumor immunity of various cancer vaccines, which is leading to noticeable inhibition of tumor growth and metastasis in tumor-bearing mice. Moreover, p-SGP promoted dendritic cells (DCs) maturation and Th1-polarized immune response. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) inhibitor TAK-242 could significantly inhibit the expression of mature molecules on the surface of DCs stimulated by p-SGP, suggesting that p-SGP could play the role of activating DCs through the TLR4 receptor. Results of RNA-seq showed that the Delta-like ligand 4 (DLL4) gene in the pathway Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation was significantly up-regulated in the DCs treated with p-SGP, suggesting that p-SGP has a unique mechanism of enhancing anti-tumor immunity.

[PMID: 32389856 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.112941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2020] [Revised: 04/30/2020] [Accepted: 04/30/2020] [Indexed: 05/18/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Proteoglycans are one of the active ingredients of great importance in Sarcandra glabra. The biological activities of proteoglycans extracted from Sarcandra glabra including suppressing tumor growth and antioxidant activity were studied. However, raw materials from different regions may cause differences in the activity of natural extracts, especially for bioactive biomacromolecules. Conventional identification of S.glabra cannot accurately reflect the distinguishing relationship between internal components and the pharmacological activity. The identification of biologically active structures was obtained by constructing multiple fingerprint and spectrum-effect relationship. AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the bioactive structural basis of proteoglycans from S.glabra based on spectrum-effect relationship and chemometric methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS Multiple fingerprinting including HPSEC, PMP-HPLC, and FT-IR of proteoglycans was established from 18 batches of samples based on the structural characteristics. Both antitumor activity and antioxidant activity were determined. Mathematical analysis was used to analyze the spectrum-effect relationship. RESULTS PCA results showed monosaccharides including Xly, Rha, and GlcA, carboxyl group in acidic sugars, peptide bond in proteins, and methylene groups could be used as markers for distinguishing the samples from different sources. The results of the spectrum-effect relationship analysis indicated that the bioactive markers of inhibitory activity on MG63 and U2OS cells by PLS-DA were related to GlcA, Xyl, Fuc, β-glycosidic bonds, peptide linkage, and methylene groups. Markers composing monosaccharide for antioxidant activity were Xyl, GlcA, and GlcN. Meanwhile, the group markers were pyranose ring, carboxyl group, peptide linkage, and methylene structure. CONCLUSIONS The material basis that affects the pharmacological efficacy could be found according to the spectrum-effect relationship analysis. This study could lay a foundation for further exploring the relationship between structural characteristics and pharmacodynamics of macromolecular glycoconjugates in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Abstract
Platelets have been proved to exacerbate influenza infection and its complications. Inhibition of platelet activation may be a feasible method for preventing severe infection and secondary acute lung injury (ALI). Isofraxidin (IFD) is a natural coumarin isolated from the plants Sarcandra glabra and Siberian ginseng, and exerts anticancer, antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects. In the present study, we examined the therapeutic effects of IFD in ADP- or arachidonic acid (AA)-induced platelet aggregation model and in influenza A virus (IAV)-induced ALI mouse model. The results showed that IFD significantly inhibited platelet aggregation induced by ADP and AA in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner as well as the release of soluble P-selectin and platelet factor 4. Moreover, IFD significantly relieved IAV-induced lung inflammation, reduced the expressions of platelet activation biomarkers (P-selectin and CD61), decreased the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and MIP-2, suppressed peripheral platelet aggregation and prolonged the survival time of infected mice. The western blotting results also demonstrated that IFD reduced the phosphorylation levels of PI3K, AKT and p38 in the activated platelets stimulated by ADP and IAV infection. But IFD did not have any effects on IAV replication. It indicated that IFD ameliorated IAV-induced severe lung damage and lethal infection by suppressing platelet aggregation via regulating PI3K/AKT and MAPK pathways.

Abstract
Two proteoglycans (HPP and LPP) with different ratios of protein/polysaccharide were extracted from S. glabra. The chemical compositions, relative average molecular weights, monosaccharide compositions, FT-IR spectra, and rheological properties of the two proteoglycans were determined. The results exhibited that the two proteoglycans had pseudoplastic fluids properties and displayed shear-thinning behavior. The apparent viscosity of the two proteoglycans both increased with increasing concentrations. The temperature had different effects on the viscosity of the two proteoglycans. As temperature increased from 25 to 85 °C, the viscosity of LPP descended while the HPP's viscosity rose first and then dropped slightly. The effects of CaCl2 addition on the two samples were like that of the temperature. The viscosities of HPP and LPP had different tolerances to acidity and alkalinity. HPP solution was more sensitive to pH changes due to its high protein content. The addition of sucrose increased the viscosities of samples. The modulus G' and G″ of HPP and LPP were increased with the increase of oscillation frequency, while the crossover points of G' and G″ values decreased with the increasing concentrations of HPP and LPP. The above data presented that the two proteoglycans could be promising candidates for food industries and pharmacological applications.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw (BIONJ) is a commonly encountered side effect of Bisphosphonates (BPs). Although certain aspects of BIONJ have been studied, the effects of BPs on the proliferation, differentiation, and maintenance of dental stem cells (DSC) in way that might account for development of BIONJ have not been evaluated. In the current study, Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs), Periodontal Stem Cells (PDLSCs), and human Tooth Germ Stem Cells (hTGSCs) were characterized and then each stem cell type were treated with selected BPs: Zoledronate (ZOL), Alendronate (ALE), and Risedronate (RIS). Negative effect on osteogenesis capacity of DSCs has not been observed after differentiation experiments in vitro. BPs exerted inhibitory effect on the migratory capacities of stem cells confirmed by in vitro scratch assay analysis. Angiogenesis of endothelial cells was blocked by BPs treatment in tube formation analysis. In conclusion, inhibitory effects of BPs on migration capacity of DSCs localized in close proximity to the jaw bone might be the primary reason for the side effects of BPs in the development of BIONJ process. Therefore, further in vivo evidence is required to investigate DSC properties in BP treated animals which might elucidate the importance of DSCs in BIONJ formation.

Abstract
Multiple techniques including high performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and pre-column derivatization high-performance liquid chromatography (PCD-HPLC) were applied to the fingerprint analysis of the polysaccharides from Sarcandra glabra (SGPs) in different regions. Chemometrics was used to evaluate the similarity and differences of SGPs from different regions based on their fingerprints. The results of the present study showed that polysaccharides from 18 batches of Sarcandra glabra had a high degree of similarity based on the HPSEC, PCD-HPLC, and FT-IR fingerprints. The samples from different regions could be classified by clustering analysis based on their nuances. The five monosaccharides (Gal, Rha, Xyl, GlcA, and Glc) and the wavelengths of FT-IR (3371 cm-1 and 1411 cm-1) could be selected as herb markers for the quality control of Sarcandra glabra.

Abstract
Enzyme assisted extraction was used to extract the polysaccharides from pumpkin seeds (PSP) and the extraction parameters were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). Under the optimum experimental parameters: Extraction temperature of 60 °C, extraction time of 43 min, enzyme concentration of 2.5%, and pH of 6.0, the yield of PSP was 3.22 ± 0.04%, which was in close agreement with the predicted value (3.24%). After further purification on anion exchange column and gelfiltration column, a novel purified polysaccharide (PSPE) with molecular weight of 16,700 g/mol was obtained. PSPE was mainly composed of mannose, galactose and glucose in the molar ratio of 1.00:3.84:1.62. NMR spectra analysis showed that the major backbone of PSPE consisted of →4)-α-d-Glcp-(1→, →4)-β-d-Manp-(1→, →3,6)-β-d-Glap-(1→, and β-d-galactose.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Experience-based herbal medicine as a complementary to modern western medicine has triggered an array of studies in quest of novel anticancer drugs. Scutellaria barbata D. Don (SB) is commonly used to treat different types of cancers, but its molecular mechanism of action is not clearly understood. In this study, we attempted to elucidate the mode of action of a traditional Chinese medicine prescription with a total of 14 components, named Lian-Jia-San-Jie-Fang (LJSJF, in Chinese), where SB works as the "principle" against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four different NSCLC cell lines (A549, H460, H1650, and H1975) were used. Cytotoxicity, in vitro tumorigenicity, gene expression, and protein expression were analyzed by MTT assay, soft agar assay, real-time PCR, and Western blots, respectively. RESULTS Among the 14 components in LJSJF, SB was the only one to possess cytotoxic effects at its pharmacologically relevant doses. Additionally, we observed synergistically dose-dependent cytotoxic effects of SB in combination with other LJSJF components. After SB or LJSJF treatment, significant reductions in colony number and/or size were observed in A549 and H460; a notable dose-dependent decrease in EGFR was observed in A549, H460, and H1650; significant downregulation in EGFR and its downstream signaling targets mTOR and p38MAPK were also observed in A549 and H460; and p53 and p21 were significantly increased while survivin, cyclin D1, and MDM2 were significantly decreased in A549. Additionally, p53, p21, and Mettl7b were decreased, but p73 was increased in H460. Neither EGFR nor p53 was changed in H1975. Therefore, SB or LJSJF may induce cytotoxic effects by regulating multiple and/or distinct apoptotic pathways in different NSCLC cells. CONCLUSION LJSJF exerts more pronounced cytotoxic effects against NSCLC cells than SB does by synergistically regulating the underlining molecular mechanisms including EGFR and/or p53 signaling pathways.

Abstract
We have developed gadolinium-based theranostic nanoparticles for co-delivery of drug and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent using Zn/Al-layered double hydroxide as the nanocarrier platform, a naturally occurring phenolic compound, gallic acid (GA) as therapeutic agent, and Gd(NO3)3 as diagnostic agent. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were grown on the system to support the contrast for MRI imaging. The nanoparticles were characterized using techniques such as Hi-TEM, XRD, ICP-ES. Kinetic release study of the GA from the nanoparticles showed about 70% of GA was released over a period of 72 h. The in vitro cell viability test for the nanoparticles showed relatively low toxicity to human cell lines (3T3) and improved toxicity on cancerous cell lines (HepG2). A preliminary contrast property test of the nanoparticles, tested on a 3 Tesla MRI machine at various concentrations of GAGZAu and water (as a reference) indicates that the nanoparticles have a promising dual diagnostic and therapeutic features to further develop a better future for clinical remedy for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Sarcandra glabra (Thunb.) Nakai (Chloranthaceae) is a medicinal plant used as herbal tea or food supplement to promote human health. We isolated 14 phenolic compounds from the n-butanol fraction of S. glabra and investigated their anti-inflammatory potential using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW264.7 macrophages. We demonstrated that methyl isorinate, a previously uncharacterized compound in S. glabra, is able to suppress NF-κB activation and reduce the expression of iNOS and COX-2 as well as the phosphorylation of IκB in LPS-treated RAW264.7 cells. In addition, the production of two inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α), as well as release of reactive oxygen species, in the LPS-stimulated macrophages was also inhibited by this compound. Furthermore, the structure-activity relationships of all of the isolated phenolic compounds present were analyzed. Overall, this study revealed several anti-inflammatory compounds that were present in S. glabra, and the results suggest that these diverse phenolic compounds are associated with the anti-inflammatory effects of S. glabra.
