Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are the leading causes of death worldwide and interact closely with each other. Danhong Injection (DHI) is a widely used preparation for the co-treatment of brain and heart diseases (CTBH). However, the underlying molecular endotype mechanisms of DHI in the CTBH remain unclear. AIM OF THIS STUDY To elucidate the underlying endotype mechanisms of DHI in the CTBH. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we proposed a modular-based disease and drug-integrated analysis (MDDIA) strategy for elucidating the systematic CTBH mechanisms of DHI using high-throughput transcriptome-wide sequencing datasets of DHI in the treatment of patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) and cerebral infarction (CI). First, we identified drug-targeted modules of DHI and disease modules of SAP and CI based on the gene co-expression networks of DHI therapy and the protein-protein interaction networks of diseases. Moreover, module proximity-based topological analyses were applied to screen CTBH co-module pairs and driver genes of DHI. At the same time, the representative driver genes were validated via in vitro experiments on hypoxia/reoxygenation-related cardiomyocytes and neuronal cell lines of H9C2 and HT22. RESULTS Seven drug-targeted modules of DHI and three disease modules of SAP and CI were identified by co-expression networks. Five modes of modular relationships between the drug and disease modules were distinguished by module proximity-based topological analyses. Moreover, 13 targeted module pairs and 17 driver genes associated with DHI in the CTBH were also screened. Finally, the representative driver genes AKT1, EDN1, and RHO were validated by in vitro experiments. CONCLUSIONS This study, based on clinical sequencing data and modular topological analyses, integrated diseases and drug targets. The CTBH mechanism of DHI may involve the altered expression of certain driver genes (SRC, STAT3, EDN1, CYP1A1, RHO, RELA) through various enriched pathways, including the Wnt signaling pathway.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We tried to show the effect of sinomenine (SIN) in diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP) and the related underlying mechanism. METHODS Network pharmacological analysis and bioinformatics analysis were carried out for identification of the active ingredients of Sinomenium acutum and the related genes. The DPNP rat model was constructed and primary rat spinal cord microglial cells were isolated for in vitro cell experiments. The therapeutic role of SIN in DPNP was determined in vivo and in vitro through analysis of microglial cell activation and inflammatory response. RESULTS Therapeutic role of S. acutum in DPNP was mainly achieved by regulating 14 key genes, among which the target gene prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) of SIN might be the key gene. An in vivo experiment showed that SIN inactivated the inositol-requiring enzyme 1 alpha-X-box binding protein 1 pathway by downregulating PTGS2, which relieved pain symptoms in DPNP rats. It was confirmed in vivo that SIN inhibited the pathway through PTGS2 to alleviate the activation of spinal cord microglial cells and inflammatory response. CONCLUSION SIN decreases the expression of PTGS2 to inactivate the inositol-requiring enzyme 1 alpha-X-box binding protein 1 signaling pathway, which inhibits microglial activation, as well as the release of inflammatory factors, thus alleviating DPNP.

Abstract
Cardio-cerebrovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide and there is currently no optimal treatment plan. Chinese herbal medicine injection (CHI) is obtained by combining traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory and modern production technology. It retains some characteristics of TCM while adding injection characteristics. CHI has played an important role in the treatment of critical diseases, especially cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, and has shown unique therapeutic advantages. TCMs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Salvia miltiorrhiza, Carthami flos, Panax notoginseng, and Chuanxiong rhizoma, account for a large proportion of CHIs of cardio-cerebrovascular disease. CHI is used to treat cardio-cerebrovascular diseases and has potential pharmacological activities such as anti-platelet aggregation, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrosis, and anti-apoptosis. However, CHIs have changed the traditional method of administering TCMs, and the drugs directly enter the bloodstream, which may produce new pharmacological effects or adverse reactions. This article summarizes the clinical application, pharmacological effects, and mechanism of action of different varieties of CHIs commonly used in the treatment of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, analyzes the causes of adverse reactions, and proposes suggestions for rational drug use and pharmaceutical care methods to provide a reference for the rational application of CHIs for cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.

Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:926123. [PMID: 35814256 PMCID: PMC9258960 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.926123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: A sharp decline in neural regeneration in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) exacerbates the decline of cognition and memory. It is of great significance to screen for innovative drugs that promote endogenous neural regeneration. Cytisine N-methylene-(5,7,4′-trihydroxy)-isoflavone (LY01) is a new compound isolated from the Chinese herbal medicine Sophora alopecuroides with both isoflavone and alkaloid characteristic structures. Its pharmacological effects are worth studying.Objective: This study was designed to determine whether LY01 delays the cognitive and memory decline in the early stage of AD and whether this effect of LY01 is related to promoting neural regeneration.Methods: Eight-week-old 5×Familial Alzheimer’s Disease (5×FAD) mice were used as disease models of early AD. Three doses of LY01 administered in two courses (2 and 5 weeks) of treatment were tested. Cognition, memory, and anxiety-like behaviors in mice were evaluated by the Morris water maze, fear conditioning, and open field experiments. Regeneration of neurons in the mouse hippocampus was observed using immunofluorescence staining. The effect of LY01 on cell regeneration was also demonstrated using a series of tests on primary cultured neurons, astrocytes, and neural stem cells (NSCs). In addition, flow cytometry and transcriptome sequencing were carried out to preliminarily explored the mechanisms.Results: We found that LY01 reduced the decline of cognition and memory in the early stage of 5×FAD mice. This effect was related to the proliferation of astrocytes, the proliferation and migration of NSCs, and increases in the number of new cells and neural precursor cells in the dentate gyrus area of 5×FAD mice. This phenomenon could be observed both in 2-week-old female and 5-week-old male LY01-treated 5×FAD mice. The neuronal regeneration induced by LY01 was related to the regulation of the extracellular matrix and associated receptors, and effects on the S phase of the cell cycle.Conclusion: LY01 increases the proliferation of NSCs and astrocytes and the number of neural precursor cells in the hippocampus, resulting in neural regeneration in 5×FAD mice by acting on the extracellular matrix and associated receptors and regulating the S phase of the cell cycle. This provides a new idea for the early intervention and treatment of AD.

Abstract
Emerging studies show that circRNA catenin beta 1 (circCTNNB1) plays a critical role in cancer. However, the expression and function of circCTNNB1 in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) have not been reported. The present study discovered that circCTNNB1 and scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SRB1) expression levels were significantly down-regulated in mouse astrocytes (mAS) treated with oxygen glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R), and similar results were observed in a mouse middle cerebral artery occlusion model. Overexpression of circCTNNB1 alleviated cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and the inflammatory response induced by OGD/R in vitro. Up-regulation of circCTNNB1 increased SRB1 expression levels to protect mAS cells from OGD/R-induced damage. CircCTNNB1 and SRB1 interacted with miR-96-5p, and the overexpression of miR-96-5p efficiently reversed the function of circCTNNB1 in OGD/R-treated mAS cells. CircCTNNB1 protected against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by up-regulating SRB1 in vivo. In conclusion, our findings suggest that circCTNNB1 acts as a competitive endogenous RNA for miR-96-5p to alleviate cerebral IRI, which provides novel evidence that circCTNNB1 and SRB1 may be biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cerebral IRI.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury (CIRI) is a great challenge for the patients with brain ischemia, but its pathophysiological mechanism has not been clearly explored. This study aims to decipher the effect of chrysin and plasminogen activator urokinase (PLAU) in CIRI. The immune-related genes were collected from the ImmPort website, and the differentially expressed genes were determined based on the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. PC12 cells were used to establish an ischemic stroke model under the condition of oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R). Small interfering RNA strategy was employed to knock down the PLAU expression of PC12 cells. The proliferation and apoptosis rates of PC12 cells treated by OGD/R or/and chrysin were detected with Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry. The protein and mRNA expressions were measured using western blotting and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). PLAU was identified as a candidate for CIRI treatment and expressed at higher levels in CIRI tissues compared with that in normal controls. Chrysin was determined as a crucial agent that could decrease the expression of PLAU. Chrysin significantly promoted the cell proliferation, inhibited the protein levels of PLAU, p–NF–κB, and p-IKκB in PC12 cells after OGD/R. Silencing of PLAU strengthened the protective effect of chrysin on PC12 cells treated by OGD/R, including the improvement of cell viability and suppression of apoptosis. Chrysin inactivated the NF-κB pathway via targeting PLAU in OGD/R-stimulated PC12 cells. Chrysin prevented PC12 cells from OGD/R-stimulated damage via decreasing PLAU expression and inactivating the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Pharmacological Mechanisms Underlying the Therapeutic Effects of Danhong Injection on Cerebral Ischemia. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:5584809. [PMID: 34093718 PMCID: PMC8163534 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5584809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2021] [Revised: 04/16/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Background Although Danhong injection (DHI) has been proved to be curative, the mechanism of its action against ischemia stroke (IS) is not clear. Here, we explored the therapeutic basis of DHI by network pharmacology. Methods Putative targets and activity scores for each compound in DHI were obtained from the Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology Database, Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships. Next, target proteins of IS were identified on GeneCards and CTD. Overlapping targets of DHI associated with IS were acquired via Venn diagram. GO and KEGG pathway analyses were done using WebGestalt. Cytoscape software was used for PPI network construction and hub nodes screening. Several validation studies were carried out by using AutoDock-Vina, label-free mass spectrometry, and transcriptome RNA-sequencing. Results The 37 active compounds and 66 targets were identified. Of these, 26 compounds and 41 targets belonged to diterpenoid quinones (DQs), which is the predominant category based on chemical structure. The results of enrichments analysis show that 8 DQs target proteins associated with IS were involved in several biological processes and signaling pathway such as apoptotic, cell cycle, cellular response to xenobiotic stimulus process, and the PI3K-Akt signaling. Moreover, 3 nodes in core module involved in PI3K-Akt signaling and 1 hub node were identified by PPI network analysis. Finally, the results of molecular docking and label-free mass spectrometry display good effect on hub node regulation in DHI treatment. Conclusions DQs is the predominant category of DHI and play an important role in antiapoptotic activity mediated by modulating PI3K-Akt signaling. Our findings offer insight into future research and clinical applications in IS therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effectiveness of Danhong Injection () on improving microcirculatory injury after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS A randomized controlled trial was conducted and 90 patients were enrolled. A random sequence was generated using statistical analysis software. Patients with microcirculatory injuries after PCI were randomly divided into 3 groups for treatment (30 subjects in each group): Danhong Injection group: after PCI, Danghong Injections were given with intravenous administration with 40 mL twice a day for a week; statins intensive group: after PCI, atorvastatin calcium tablets were given oral medication with 80 mg once, and then atorvastatin 40 mg daily for 1 week; the control group: after PCI, atorvastatin calcium tablets were given oral medication with 10-20 mg daily for 1 week. The index of microcirculation resistance (IMR) was used to assess microcirculatory injury during PCI. The IMR of the target vessel was reexamined after 1 week of drug treatment. RESULTS After one week's drug treatment, IMR was significantly decreased in both statins intensive group and Danhong Injection group compared with the control group (P<0.01), but no difference was found between statins intensive group and Danhong injection group (14.03 ± 2.54 vs. 16.03 ± 5.72 U, P=0.080). CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of Danhong Injection is non-inferior to statin. Early use of Danhong Injection after PCI can effectively improve coronary microcirculation injury after PCI.

Abstract
Adhesion is a frequent complication after abdominal surgery. Although various methods have been applied to prevent and treat postoperative abdominal adhesion (PAA), few modern drugs designed for clinical applications have reached the expected preventive or therapeutic effect so far. There is an imperative to develop some new strategies for the treatment of PAA. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been widely practiced for thousands of years and played an indispensable role in the prevention and treatment of diseases. Modern medicine researchers have accepted the therapeutic effects of many active components derived from Chinese medicinal herbs. The review stresses the most commonly used TCM treatment, including Chinese medicinal herbals and monomers, TCM formulas, and acupuncture treatment.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe cerebrovascular disease with a high incidence, mortality and disability rate. Danhong injection (DHI) is beneficial for ischemic stroke, but is prohibited for ICH due to risk of bleeding. The present study aims to explore the potential therapeutic time window and molecular mechanism of DHI in a collagenase-induced ICH model in aged rats. DHI administration after ICH could significantly improve body weight and neurological deficits, and reduce the hematoma volume and brain water content when compared to the vehicle control. Furthermore, the protective effect of DHI administration on days 1–3 after ICH was superior to those on days 3–5 or 7–9 after ICH. DHI remarkably increased the Peroxiredoxin 1 (Prx1) expression in astrocytes and reduced the expression of inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-β (IL-1β) after ICH. The immediate treatment of Prx1 inhibiter chelerythrine (Che) after ICH abolished the protective effect of DHI. Furthermore, the Che treatment reduced the expression of Prx1 in astrocytes, but increased the expression of TNF-α and IL-1β after ICH. DHI treatment could not reverse these changes. Therefore, the earlier DHI is administered, the better the neuroprotective effect. DHI exerts antioxidative and anti-inflammatory function by increasing Prx1 in astrocytes. These present results may change the established understanding of DHI, and reveal a novel treatment approach for ICH.

Clinical Prescription-Protein-Small Molecule-Disease Strategy (CPSD), A New Strategy for Chinese Medicine Development: A Case Study in Cardiovascular Diseases. Front Pharmacol 2020; 10:1564. [PMID: 32038243 PMCID: PMC6987446 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2019.01564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2019] [Accepted: 12/03/2019] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Chinese medicine is a national treasure that has been passed down for thousands of years in China. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, there are currently four billion people in the world who use Chinese medicine to treat diseases, accounting for 80% of the world's total population. However, the obscurity of its theory, its unmanageable quality, its complex compositions, and the unknown effective substances and mechanisms are great obstacles to the internationalization of Chinese medicine. Here, we propose a new strategy for the development of Chinese medicine: the clinical prescription (C)-protein (P)-small-molecule (S)-disease (D) strategy, namely the CPSD strategy. The strategy uses clinical prescriptions as the source of medicine and uses computer simulation technology to find small-molecule drugs targeting therapeutic proteins for treating specific diseases so as to deepen awareness of the value of Chinese medicine. At the same time, this article takes cardiovascular drug development as an example to introduce the application of CPSD, which will be instrumental in the further development, modernization, and internationalization of Chinese medicine.
