Yang Q, Zhang P, Han L, Shi P, Zhao Z, Cui D, Hong K. Mitochondrial-related genes PDK2, CHDH, and ALDH5A1 served as a diagnostic signature and correlated with immune cell infiltration in ulcerative colitis. Aging (Albany NY) 2024; 16:3803-3822. [PMID: 38376420 PMCID: PMC10929806 DOI: 10.18632/aging.205561] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
We conducted an investigation to determine the potential of mitochondrial-related genes as diagnostic biomarkers in ulcerative colitis (UC), while also examining their association with immune cell infiltration. To achieve this, we acquired four datasets pertaining to UC, which included gene expression arrays and clinical data, from the GEO database. Subsequently, we selected three signature genes (PDK2, CHDH, and ALDH5A1) to construct a diagnostic model for UC. The nomogram and ROC curves exhibited exceptional diagnostic efficacy. Following this, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting assays validated the decreased mRNA and protein expression of PDK2, CHDH, and ALDH5A1 in the model of UC cells and dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS)-induced mice colitis tissues, aligning with the findings in the risk model. This investigation suggested a negative correlation between the expression of ALDH5A1, CHDH, and PDK2 and the infiltration of M1 macrophages. Then, immunofluorescence analysis confirmed the augmented expression of CD86 in the tissue of mice subjected to DSS, while a diminished expression of ALDH5A1, CHDH, and PDK2 was observed. Consequently, it can be inferred that targeting mitochondria-associated genes, namely PDK2, CHDH, and ALDH5A1, holds potential as a viable strategy for prognostic prediction and the implementation of immune therapy for UC.

Molecules 2024; 29:540. [PMID: 38276618 PMCID: PMC10818773 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29020540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 01/13/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Sinomenine, an isoquinoline alkaloid extracted from the roots and stems of Sinomenium acutum, has been extensively studied for its derivatives as bioactive agents. This review concentrates on the research advancements in the biological activities and action mechanisms of sinomenine-related compounds until November 2023. The findings indicate a broad spectrum of pharmacological effects, including antitumor, anti-inflammation, neuroprotection, and immunosuppressive properties. These compounds are notably effective against breast, lung, liver, and prostate cancers, exhibiting IC50 values of approximately 121.4 nM against PC-3 and DU-145 cells, primarily through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR, NF-κB, MAPK, and JAK/STAT signaling pathways. Additionally, they manifest anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects predominantly via the NF-κB, MAPK, and Nrf2 signaling pathways. Utilized in treating rheumatic arthritis, these alkaloids also play a significant role in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protection, as well as organ protection through the NF-κB, Nrf2, MAPK, and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways. This review concludes with perspectives and insights on this topic, highlighting the potential of sinomenine-related compounds in clinical applications and the development of medications derived from natural products.

J Vet Pharmacol Ther 2019; 42:732-737. [PMID: 31490576 DOI: 10.1111/jvp.12807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2019] [Revised: 07/31/2019] [Accepted: 07/31/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
The aim of the research was to investigate the anti-endotoxin and anti-inflammatory effects of Sinomenine, an agent commonly found in Chinese herbal medicines. Endotoxin (i.e., 1 mg lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/kg)) was administered via intraperitoneal (IP) injection to piglets in high-, middle-, and low-dose sinomenine groups. Piglets were then treated with 1, 5 or 10 mg/kg sinomenine, intramuscularly (i.m.), 3 hr after LPS. Vehicle was administered, as above, to drug control group piglets followed 3 hr later by 10 mg/kg sinomenine i.m.. LPS control group piglets were challenged with 1 mg/kg LPS IP, followed by vehicle i.m., and naïve control piglets were treated with normal saline IP, followed by normal saline i.m., as above. Temperatures were measured, and blood samples were collected from the precaval veins of piglets at 12, 24, and 48 hr post-LPS or vehicle injection. Clinical signs were recorded, and index levels were analyzed via ELISA. Sinomenine was found to reduce the incidence and severity of LPS-induced toxicities, including body temperature elevation, cell adhesion, and systemic inflammation. These data suggest that sinomenine may be effective for regulating inflammatory responses and has the potential for use as an anti-endotoxin therapy.
