Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI), characterized by necroptosis and activation of MAPK pathway, causes sudden declines in renal function. To date, efficacious treatments are lacking. JianPiYiShen Formula (JPYSF) has a protective effect on the kidneys. The aim of this study is to explore the mechanism of JPYSF in cisplatin-induced AKI. METHODS Male C57/BL6J mice were divided into control group, cisplatin group and cisplatin + JPYSF group. Before establishing the model, the cisplatin + JPYSF group was administered JPYSF (18.35 g/kg/day) by gavage for 5 consecutive days. A single intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin (20 mg/kg) was used to establish AKI model. Measurement of renal function and H&E staining were performed to assess renal damage. WB, PCR, TUNEL staining and immunohistochemistry were used to detect related indicators of mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, necroptosis, inflammation and MAPK pathway. And one-way analysis of variance was used to compare group differences. RESULTS Compared with the cisplatin group, JPYSF can attenuate AKI, reflected by the decrease in Scr and BUN levels, the improvement of renal tubular injury, and the downregulation of NGAL and KIM1. Cisplatin can induce mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, triggering necroptosis. In this study, JPYSF improved mitochondrial dysfunction to enhance oxidative stress, as manifested by upregulation of OPA1, PGC-1α, SOD and CAT, and downregulation of DRP1 and MFF. Then JPYSF showed a significant protective effect in necroptosis, as embodied by reduced number of TUNEL-positive cells, decreased the gene expression of RIPK3 and MLKL, as well as downregulation the proteins expression of P-RIPK1, P-RIPK3, and P-MLKL. Moreover, necroptosis can aggravate inflammation. JPYSF ameliorated inflammation by improving inflammatory and anti-inflammatory indexes, including downregulation of TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1 and LY6G, and upregulation of IL-10. In addition, JPYSF also inhibited MAPK pathway to improve necroptosis by decreasing the expression of P-JNK and P-ERK. CONCLUSION Our data showed that JPYSF prevents cisplatin-induced AKI by improving necroptosis through MAPK pathway, which is related to the improvement of mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the main cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide, and there is a lack of effective treatment strategies. Autophagy is a highly conserved lysosomal degradation process that maintains homeostasis and energy balance by removing protein aggregates and damaged organelles. Increasing evidence suggests that dysregulated autophagy may contribute to glomerular and tubulointerstitial lesions in the kidney under diabetic conditions. Emerging studies have shown that Chinese herbal medicine and its active compounds may ameliorate diabetic kidney injury by regulating autophagy. In this review, we summarize that dysregulation or insufficiency of autophagy in renal cells, including podocytes, glomerular mesangial cells, and proximal tubular epithelial cells, is a key mechanism for the development of DKD, and focus on the protective effects of Chinese herbal medicine and its active compounds. Moreover, we systematically reviewed the mechanism of autophagy in DKD regulated by Chinese herb compound preparations, single herb and active compounds, so as to provide new drug candidates for clinical treatment of DKD. Finally, we also reviewed the candidate targets of Chinese herbal medicine regulating autophagy for DKD. Therefore, further research on Chinese herbal medicine with autophagy regulation and their targets is of great significance for the realization of new targeted therapies for DKD.

Abstract
The cognitive and behavioral decline observed in cancer survivors who underwent doxorubicin (DOX)-based treatment raises the need for therapeutic interventions to counteract these complications. Galangin (GAL) is a flavonoid-based phytochemical with pronounced protective effects in various neurological disorders. However, its impact on DOX-provoked neurotoxicity has not been clarified. Hence, the current investigation aimed to explore the ability of GAL to ameliorate DOX-provoked chemo-brain in rats. DOX (2mg/kg, once/week, i.p.) and GAL (50mg/kg, 5 times/week., via gavage) were administered for four successive weeks. The MWM and EPM tests were used to evaluate memory disruption and anxiety-like behavior, respectively. Meanwhile, targeted biochemical markers and molecular signals were examined by the aid of ELISA, Western blotting, and immune-histochemistry. In contrast to DOX-impaired rats, GAL effectively preserved hippocampal neurons, improved cognitive/behavioral functions, and enhanced the expression of the cell repair/growth index and BDNF. The antioxidant feature of GAL was confirmed by the amelioration of MDA, NO and NOX-1, along with restoring the Nrf-2/HO-1/GSH cue. In addition, GAL displayed marked anti-inflammatory properties as verified by the suppression of the HMGB1/TLR4 nexus and p-NF-κB p65 to inhibit TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and iNOS. This inhibitory impact extended to entail astrocyte activation, as evidenced by the diminution of GFAP. These beneficial effects were associated with a notable reduction in p-p38MAPK, p-JNK1/2, and p-ERK1/2, as well as the necroptosis cascade p-RIPK1/p-RIPK3/p-MLKL. Together, these pleiotropic protective impacts advocate the concurrent use of GAL as an adjuvant agent for managing DOX-driven neurodegeneration and cognitive/behavioral deficits. DATA AVAILABILITY: The authors confirm that all relevant data are included in the supplementary materials.

Abstract
Necroptosis, a distinctive type of programmed cell death different from apoptosis or necrosis, triggered by a series of death receptors such as tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1), TNFR2, and Fas. In case that apoptosis process is blocked, necroptosis pathway is initiated with the activation of three key downstream mediators which are receptor-interacting serine/threonine protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3, and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL). The whole process eventually leads to destruction of the cell membrane integrity, swelling of organelles, and severe inflammation. Over the past decade, necroptosis has been found widely involved in life process of human beings and animals. In this review, we attempt to explore the therapeutic prospects of necroptosis regulators by describing its molecular mechanism and the role it played in pathological condition and tissue homeostasis, and to summarize the research and clinical applications of corresponding regulators including small molecule inhibitors, chemicals, Chinese herbal extracts, and biological agents in the treatment of various diseases.
