[PMID: 38225991 PMCID: PMC10788200 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrep.2023.101623] [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: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To investigate the effects of gastrodin on the biological behavior of osteoblasts and osseointegration on the surface of the titanium plate in a high glucose environment, and to explore the possible regulatory mechanisms involved. Methods A high glucose-induced oxidative damage model of MC3T3-E1 cells was established in vitro to observe the effects of gastrodin on cellular oxidative stress, cell viability, osteogenic differentiation, mineralization, migration, and adhesion ability on the titanium surface. Results High glucose environment can cause oxidative stress damage to MC3T3-E1 cells, leading to a decrease in cell viability, osteogenesis, migration, adhesion and other functions. Gastrodin can upregulate the expression of antioxidant enzymes (Nrf2 and HO-1) and osteogenic differentiation related proteins (RUNX2 and BMP2) in MC3T3-E1 cells in high glucose environment, thereby inhibiting the excessive production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), reversing the decrease in cell viability, and improving the osteogenic differentiation and mineralization ability of osteoblasts. And gastrodin alleviated the decline in cell migration ability, improved the morphology of the cytoskeleton and increased the adhesion ability of osteoblasts on the surface of titanium plates in high glucose environment. However, gastrodin itself did not affect the cell viability, osteogenic differentiation and mineralization ability of osteoblasts in normal environment. Conclusions Gastrodin may protect MC3T3-E1 cells osteogenesis and osseointegration on the surface of the titanium plate in vitro by upregulating antioxidant enzymes expression, and attenuating high glucose-induced oxidative stress. Therefore, gastrodin may be a potential drug to address the problem of poor implant osseointegration in patients with diabetes.

[PMID: 38146239 PMCID: PMC10844697 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.18089] [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: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction is an independent risk factor for stroke. The dysfunction of endothelial cells (EC) is closely concerned with EC senescence. Gastrodin (GAS) is an organic compound extracted from the dried root mass of the Orchidaceae plant Gastrodiae gastrodiae. It is used clinically to treat diseases such as vertebrobasilar insufficiency, vestibular neuronitis and vertigo. In the present study, we used hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 )-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to establish an in vitro EC senescence model and to investigate the role and mechanism of GAS in EC senescence. It's found that H2 O2 -treated HUVECs increased the proportion of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA β-gal) positive cells and the relative protein expression levels of senescence-associated cyclin p16 and p21. In addition, GAS reduced the proportion of SA β-gal positive cells and the relative protein expression levels of p16 and p21, and increased the proliferation and migration ability of HUVECs. Meanwhile, GAS increased the expression of the anti-oxidative stress protein HO-1 and its nuclear expression level of Nrf2. The anti-senescence effect of GAS was blocked when HO-1 expression was inhibited by SnPPIX. Furthermore, absence of HO-1 abolished the effect of GAS on HUVEC proliferation and migration. In conclusion, GAS ameliorated H2 O2 -induced cellular senescence and enhanced cell proliferation and migration by enhancing Nrf2/HO-1 signalling in HUVECs. These findings of our study expanded the understanding of GAS pharmacology and suggested that GAS may offer a potential therapeutic agent for stroke.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 319:117282. [PMID: 37802374 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/09/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Cisplatin (CP) results in acute kidney injury (AKI) and negatively affects patients' therapy and survival. The dried rhizome of Gastrodia elata Blume has been used to treat clinical kidney diseases. Gastrodin (GAS) is an active ingredient of the G. elata tuber. It is unknown whether GAS can alleviate CP-induced AKI. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to investigate whether GAS, an active ingredient of G. elata Blume, can alleviate CP-induced AKI and to explore its underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Experiments were conducted with a CP-induced AKI mouse model and an immortalized human renal tubular epithelial cell line (HK-2). Serum creatinine, Periodic acid-Schiff staining, tissue iron, glutathione, malondialdehyde, and 4-Hydroxynonenal were detected in serum and kidney samples to observe whether GAS inhibits CP-induced tubule ferroptosis. The drug target was verified by detecting the effects of GAS on sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) activity in vitro. Transcriptional regulation of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) by forkhead box O3A (FOXO3A) was verified by siRNA knockdown, overexpression, and chromatin immunoprecipitation. The effects of FOXO3A, SIRT1, and GAS on CP-induced ferroptosis were measured with propidium iodide, dihydroethidium, monobromobimane, and dipyrromethene boron difluoride staining in HK-2 cells. The relationship between GAS and the SIRT1/FOXO3A/GPX4 pathway was studied using Western blotting. RESULTS GAS treatment inhibited CP-induced reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation, and tubule death in the cell and animal models. GAS activated SIRT1 in vitro. The SIRT1 inhibitor blocked the protective role of GAS in reducing lipid peroxidation in HK-2 cells. FOXO3A transcriptionally regulated GPX4 expression and inhibited CP-induced cell ferroptosis. Compared to CP-damaged mouse kidneys, GAS-treated mice demonstrated significantly increased SIRT1 and GPX4 expression levels, decreased CP-induced acetylation of FOXO3A, and inhibited lipid peroxidation and cell death. CONCLUSIONS GAS alleviated CP-induced AKI by inhibiting ferroptosis via the SIRT1/FOXO3A/GPX4 signaling pathway. The results offer new insights into the development of new anti-AKI drugs from traditional Chinese medicine.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Gastrodia elata Blume (G. elata) has a long historical application in Asian countries and its tubers, seeds, and stalks are capable of being utilized for medicine, food, or health care products. AIM OF THE REVIEW This study aimed to offer a systematic and up-to-date analysis of the current review of the G. elata research advances in traditional uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology, applications, and quality control, as well as a scientific reference for the development and utilization of this plant. MATERIALS AND METHODS Electronic databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, SciFinder, and CNKI were used for the collection of publications on G. elata. The following keywords of G. elata were used truncated with other relevant topic terms, such as phenolic compounds, polysaccharides, glycosides, neuroprotection, learning and memory improvement effects, cardioprotection, applications, and quality control. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Approximately 134 chemical components mainly categorizing as phenolic compounds, polysaccharides, glycosides, organic acids, and sterols were reported from this plant. Moreover, preclinical studies indicated that G. elata performs several functions, including neuroprotection, learning and memory improvement effects, cardioprotection, vaso-modulatory effect, anti-depression, anti-cancer, and other effects. Currently, G. elata has been widely applied to clinics and foods. The available literature shows that the quality of G. elata might be affected by factors such as origin, fungus, and harvest time, which will have an impact on the drug efficacy. According to past research, G. elata is a potential medicinal and edible plant with several active components and pharmacological activity that has a high application value in medicine and the food business. Nevertheless, few studies have concentrated on characterization of polysaccharides structure and study of non-medicinal parts, implying that further comprehensive research on its polysaccharides structure and non-medicinal parts is critical for full utilization of resources of G. elata.

Abstract
As severe conditions, acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) threaten human health. Inflammation and oxidative stress play a vital role in the pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS. Sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) significantly contributes to mediating inflammatory responses. Nevertheless, the impact of SphK1 on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-triggered ALI/ARDS remains largely undetermined. In our current work, we explored the impact of SphK1 on ALI/ARDS using a mouse model. We studied whether it could reduce LPS-triggered inflammatory response and oxidative stress by suppressing SphK1 in ALI/ARDS. The mice were treated with the inhibitor of SphK1 (N,N-dimethylsphingosine, DMS) before intraperitoneal injection of LPS. Moreover, we assessed the survival rate, and several parameters, such as the lung wet/dry (W/D) ratio, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and the release of inflammatory cytokines. Western blotting analysis was adopted to evaluate the levels of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/serine/threonine kinase (AKT) pathways. We showed that the inhibitor of SphK1 not only ameliorated LPS-stimulated lung histopathological changes and W/D ratio of lung tissue but also elevated the survival rate, the SOD activity and decreased the MDA content, MPO activity, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-ɑ (TNF-ɑ) production by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in lung tissue. Taken together, SphK1 played an essential role in inflammatory responses and oxidative stress. The underlying mechanism might be linked to the activation and up-regulation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in LPS-triggered ALI/ARDS.

Abstract
Background/aim Curcumin may have potential as a therapy for wound healing, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. It is not known whether curcumin can promote wound healing by activating Nrf2 signaling pathway and inducing apoptosis. This study determined the role of Nrf2 signaling pathway and apoptosis in curcumin-promoting skin wound healing. Materials and methods The full-thickness skin defect model of mice was made and randomly divided into a control group and a curcumin group. The mice in the curcumin group and in the control group received respectively a daily topical treatment of Vaseline cream with or without 5 mg curcumin. The wound healing of mice was observed daily. The mice in two groups were killed respectively on postinjury days 3, 7, and 14, and the wound tissues were collected, with 5 mice in each group. Pathological change and formation of collagen fibers were observed by HE and Masson staining respectively. The expression of caspase-3 was observed by immunohistochemistry. Western blot was used to examine the protein levels of Nrf2 and HO-1, and ELISA assay and colorimetry assay were used to check the contents of ROS, MDA, SOD, and GSH. Results The wound healing rates of curcumin group were higher than those of control group (p < 0.05), and the pathological changes were also significantly better than those in the control group (p < 0.05). Collagen fiber synthesis in curcumin group was higher than that in control group (p < 0.05). Moreover, the expression of caspase-3 in curcumin group was higher than that in control group on 7th day post wound (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the levels of ROS and MDA in curcumin were lower than those in control group (p < 0.05), and the level of Nrf2, HO-1, SOD and GSH were higher than those in control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion Curcumin improves skin wound healing by activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway and inducing apoptosis in mice.

Abstract
Kindlin-2 is critical for development and homeostasis of key organs, including skeleton, liver, islet, etc., yet its role in modulating angiogenesis is unknown. Here, we report that sufficient KINDLIN-2 is extremely important for NOTCH-mediated physiological angiogenesis. The expression of KINDLIN-2 in HUVECs is significantly modulated by angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor A or tumor necrosis factor α. A strong co-localization of CD31 and Kindlin-2 in tissue sections is demonstrated by immunofluorescence staining. Endothelial-cell-specific Kindlin-2 deletion embryos die on E10.5 due to hemorrhage caused by the impaired physiological angiogenesis. Experiments in vitro show that vascular endothelial growth factor A-induced multiple functions of endothelial cells, including migration, matrix proteolysis, morphogenesis and sprouting, are all strengthened by KINDLIN-2 overexpression and severely impaired in the absence of KINDLIN-2. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that KINDLIN-2 inhibits the release of Notch intracellular domain through binding to and maintaining the integrity of NOTCH1. The impaired angiogenesis and avascular retinas caused by KINDLIN-2 deficiency can be rescued by DAPT, an inhibitor of γ-secretase which releases the intracellular domain from NOTCH1. Moreover, we demonstrate that high glucose stimulated hyperactive angiogenesis by increasing KINDLIN-2 expression could be prevented by KINDLIN-2 knockdown, indicating Kindlin-2 as a potential therapeutic target in treatment of diabetic retinopathy. Our study for the first time demonstrates the significance of Kindlin-2 in determining Notch-mediated angiogenesis during development and highlights Kindlin-2 as the potential therapeutic target in angiogenic diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy.

[PMID: 36963481 DOI: 10.1016/j.mvr.2023.104531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 03/11/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/26/2023]
Abstract
In diabetes mellitus (DM), high glucose can result in endothelial cell injury, and then lead to diabetic vascular complications. Gastrodin, as the mainly components of Chinese traditional herb Tianma (Gastrodia elata Bl.), has been widely used for cardiovascular diseases. However, the known of the effect of gastrodin on endothelial cell injury is still limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect and possible mechanism of gastrodin on high glucose-injured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). High glucose (30 mmol/L) treatment caused HUVEC injury. After gastrodin (0.1, 1, 10 μmol/L) treatment, compared with the high glucose group, the cell proliferation ability increased in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, gastrodin (10 μmol/L) up-regulated the mRNA and protein expressions of PPARβ and eNOS, decreased the expressions of iNOS, also reduced the protein expression of 3-nitrotyrosine, and lowed the level of ONOO-, increased NO content. Both the PPARβ antagonist GSK0660 (1 μmol/L) and the eNOS inhibitor L-NAME (10 μmol/L) were able to block the above effects of gastrodin. In conclusion, gastrodin protectes vascular endothelial cells from high glucose injury, which may be, at least partly, mediated by up-regulating the expression of PPARβ and negatively regulating nitrative stress.

Abstract
The therapeutic effectiveness of stem cells after transplantation is hampered by the hypoxic milieu of chronic wounds. Prior research has established antioxidant priming as a thorough plan to improve stem cell performance. The purpose of this study was to ascertain how caffeic acid (CA) priming affected the ability of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) to function under hypoxic stress. In order to study the cytoprotective properties of CA, hASCs were primed with CA in CoCl2 hypoxic conditions. Microscopy was used to assess cell morphology, while XTT, Trypan Blue, X-gal, LDH, Live Dead, scratch wound healing, and ROS assays were used to analyze viability, senescence, cell death, proliferation, and reactive oxygen species prevalence in the cells. According to our findings, CA priming enhances hASCs' ability to survive and regenerate in a hypoxic microenvironment more effectively than untreated hASCs. Our in-vitro research suggested that pre-treatment with CA of hASCs could be a unique way to enhance their therapeutic efficacy and ability to survive in hypoxic microenvironments.

Abstract
Gastrodin, a traditional Chinese medicine ingredient, is widely used to treat vascular and neurological diseases. However, recently, an increasing number of studies have shown that gastrodin has anti-osteoporosis effects, and its mechanisms of action include its antioxidant effect, anti-inflammatory effect, and anti-apoptotic effect. In addition, gastrodin has many unique advantages in promoting bone healing in tissue engineering, such as inducing high hydrophilicity in the material surface, its anti-inflammatory effect, and pro-vascular regeneration. Therefore, this paper summarized the effects and mechanisms of gastrodin on osteoporosis and bone regeneration in the current research. Here we propose an assumption that the use of gastrodin in the surface loading of oral implants may greatly promote the osseointegration of implants and increase the success rate of implants. In addition, we speculated on the potential mechanisms of gastrodin against osteoporosis, by affecting actin filament polymerization, renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and ferroptosis, and proposed that the potential combination of gastrodin with Mg2+, angiotensin type 2 receptor blockers or artemisinin may greatly inhibit osteoporosis. The purpose of this review is to provide a reference for more in-depth research and application of gastrodin in the treatment of osteoporosis and implant osseointegration in the future.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of the oral administration of sea cucumber protein (SCP) on wound healing. SCP was isolated and purified from the body wall of Stichopus japonicus. A mouse skin incision model was operated on to evaluate the wound repair effect of SCP. The histological changes in the skin at the wound sites of BALB/c mice were observed by staining with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson's trichrome. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to analyze the expression of inflammatory cytokines in BALB/c mice. The boost cell migration ability was detected by a scratch assay after HaCaT cells were cultured with digested SCP (dSCP). Western blotting and RT-PCR assays were performed to determine the mechanism of SCP promoting wound healing. As a result, the wound healing rate in the SCP high dose group was 1.3-fold, compared to that in the blank group on day 14. Also, increased epidermal thickness and 1.79-fold collagen deposition contrasted with the blank group. Additionally, SCP could up-regulate the levels of pro-inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) from day 3 to 7 firstly and decreased from day 7 to 14. IL-8 expression continuously decreased while the level of anti-inflammatory factor (IL-10) increased during the healing stage. Furthermore, the cell closure area reached 67% after being treated with 50 μg mL-1 of dSCP for 48 h. Cell proliferation was associated with the dSCP-activated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Taken together, SCP can be orally used as an effective agent for wound repair.

Abstract
Diabetic skin ulcer is one of the most common complications in patients suffering diabetes mellitus. Xanthohumol (XN), a hop-derived prenylated dietary flavonoid, has multiple health beneficial bioactivities. In the present study, we reported XN alleviates oxidative damage and accelerates diabetic wound healing via Nrf2 activation. In vitro, XN attenuated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced cytotoxicity, ROS production, cell apoptosis, as well as high glucose-induced cell damage. Mechanistic studies further demonstrated that XN could stabilize nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and promote its nuclear translocation, which was associated with AMPKα activation and covalent modification of Keap1 by XN. In vivo, XN increased Nrf2 expression and accelerated diabetic wound healing. Our study revealed a novel function of XN in diabetic wound healing as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms, suggesting XN is a promising lead compound and a potential food and/or drug candidate for the treatment of diabetic skin ulcers.

Abstract
Random-pattern skin flap is a vital technique frequently applied in reconstruction surgeries for its convenience and effectiveness in solving skin defects. However, ischemic necrosis, especially in the distal areas of the flap, still needs extra attention after surgery. Earlier evidence has suggested that paeoniflorin (PF) could stimulate angiogenesis and suppress ischemic cardiovascular disease. However, few studies have focused on the role of PF in flap survival. In this study, we have demonstrated that the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with PF can alleviate tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-stimulated cellular dysfunction and apoptosis. To better evaluate, HUVECs' physiology, cell tube formation, migration, and adhesion were assessed. Mechanistically, PF protects HUVECs against apoptosis via stimulating the nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) pathway. PF also downregulates mitochondrial ROS production to reduce excessive intracellular ROS production induced by TBHP and restore TBHP-induced mitochondrial depolarization. As a result, silencing Nrf2 partially abolishes the protective effect of PF exposure on HUVECs. In in vivo experiments, the oral administration of PF was shown to have enhanced the vascularization of regenerated tissues and promote flap survival. However, the PF-mediated protection was partially lost after co-treatment with ML385, a selective Nrf2 inhibitor, suggesting that PF is a crucial modulator regulating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. In summary, our data have provided a new insight into PF as a potential therapy for enhancing random-pattern flap viability.

Abstract
Studies have shown that gastrodin has a protective effect on blood vessels. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of gastrodin on the angiogenesis ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and its mechanism. We found that treatment of HUVECs with 10 µM and 25 µM gastrodin, and Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) significantly upregulated the miR-21 expression in the cells. Meanwhile, gastrodin significantly increased the cell proliferation, migration and tube formation ability of HUVECs and increased the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA. In addition, gastrodin promoted the phosphorylation level of PI3K/Akt protein. However, down-regulating the miR-21 expression reduced the promoting effect of gastrodin on the HUVECs angiogenesis. In conclusion, gastrodin activates the PI3K/Akt pathway by up-regulating the miR-21 expression and promotes the HUVECs angiogenesis.

Abstract
Most of the spray products in the market for wound healing applications are loaded with antibiotics that exert their antibacterial effect within the inflammatory stage of wound healing without demonstrating any effect in the subsequent proliferation stage. This study introduces a new aerosolized nanopowder (ANP) formula that not only exhibits antibacterial effect but also antioxidant and enhanced cell proliferation effects. Within the introduced ANP formula, Avicenna marina (Am) extract and neomycin (NM) antibiotic have been loaded within silk-fibroin nanoparticles (FB NPs). The Am has been extracted via different solvent systems, and investigated for its antioxidant and antibacterial activity as well as its ability to enhance cell proliferation. The physicochemical properties, size, zeta-potential and morphology of the prepared Am/FB NPs, NM/FB NPs and ANP formula were investigated. Besides, the ANP formula exhibited good antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin resistant S. aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Resistant P. aeruginosa. Scratch wound healing assay on human fibroblast monolayers demonstrated 100% wound closure after 24 h upon using the ANP formula as compared to 70% wound closure for positive control (NM). The wound healing ability of the ANP formula has been further confirmed by histopathological evaluation of the wound site and depicted a marked increase in fibroblast proliferation and reduction of inflammatory cells after 15 days with a complete wound closure as compared to controls. The obtained results prove the beneficial effects of the Am extract on wound healing and introduce the developed multitask nanopowder formula as a potential wound healing spray.

Abstract
Vascular grafts must avoid negative inflammatory responses and thrombogenesis to prohibit fibrotic deposition immediately upon implantation and promote the regeneration of small diameter blood vessels (<6 mm inner diameter). Here, polyurethane (PU) elastomers incorporating anti-coagulative and anti-inflammatory Gastrodin were fabricated. The films had inter-connected pores with porosities equal to or greater than 86% and pore sizes ranging from 250 to 400 μm. Incorporation of Gastrodin into PU films resulted in desirable mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, swelling ratios and degradation rates without collapse. The released Gastrodin maintained bioactivity over 21 days as assessed by its anti-oxidative capability. The Gastrodin/PU had better anti-coagulation response (less observable BSA, fibrinogen and platelet adhesion/activation and suppressed clotting in whole blood). Red blood cell compatibility, measured by hemolysis, was greatly improved with 2Gastrodin/PU compared to other Gastrodin/PU groups. Notably, Gastrodin/PU upregulated anti-oxidant factors Nrf2 and HO-1 expression in H2O2 treated HUVECs, correlated with decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β in RAW 264.7 cells. Upon implantation in a subcutaneous pocket, PU was encapsulated by an obvious fibrous capsule, concurrent with a large amount of inflammatory cell infiltration, while Gastrodin/PU induced a thinner fibrous capsule, especially 2Gastrodin/PU. Further, enhanced adhesion and proliferation of HUVECs seeded onto films in vitro demonstrated that 2Gastrodin/PU could help cell recruitment, as evidenced by rapid host cell infiltration and substantial blood vessel formation in vivo. These results indicate that 2Gastrodin/PU has the potential to facilitate blood vessel regeneration, thus providing new insight into the development of clinically effective vascular grafts.

Abstract
The random-pattern flap has a significant application in full mouth restoration (reconstructive surgery) and plastic surgery owing to an easy operation with no axial vascular restriction. However, distal necrosis after flap operation is still considered the most common complication which makes it the Achilles heel in the clinical application of random-pattern flaps. A Chinese medicinal herb named gastrodin is an effective active ingredient of Gastrodia. Herein, the existing study explored the significant potential of gastrodin on flap survival and its underlying mechanism. Our obtained results show that gastrodin will significantly improve flap survival, reduce tissue edema, and increase blood flow. Furthermore, our studies reveal that gastrodin can promote angiogenesis and reduce the apoptotic process as well as oxidative stress. The results of immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting revealed that gastrodin has a role in the elevation of autophagy flux which results in induced autophagy. The use of 3MA (3-methyladenine) for the inhibition of induced autophagy significantly weakened the underlying benefits of gastrodin treatment. Taken together, our obtained results confirmed that gastrodin is an effective drug that can considerably promote the survival rate of flaps (random pattern) via enhancing autophagy. Enhanced autophagy is correlated with the elevation of angiogenesis, reduced level of oxidative stress, and inhibition of cell apoptosis.

DRUG DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND THERAPY 2020; 14:5547-5558. [PMID: 33364751 PMCID: PMC7751705 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s280922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2020] [Accepted: 12/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Background Acute lung injury (ALI) is a fatal disease in the absence of pharmacological treatment. Oxidative stress and inflammation are closely related to ALI. Innate immune cells are the main source of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Macrophages play an extremely important role in ALI through the activation of inflammation and oxidative stress. Itaconate, a metabolite of tricarboxylic acid, has been reported to have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the role of itaconate in ALI is unclear. Herein, we use 4-octyl itaconate (OI), the cellular permeable derivate of itaconate, to study the effects of itaconate in vivo and in vitro. Methods We used OI to pretreat C57BL/6 mice and LPS-induced ALI models to illustrate the role of itaconate in acute lung injury. The mice were randomly divided into four groups: control group, OI (100 mg/kg) group, ALI Group, ALI + OI (50 mg/kg) group, and ALI + OI (100 mg/kg) group. RAW264.7 cells were used to further prove the role and mechanism of itaconate in vitro. Results According to the H&E staining of the lung, OI was observed to significantly reduce lung inflammation. The active oxygen content of tissues was also significantly reduced (P<0.05). OI reduced the accumulation of neutrophils and secretion of inflammatory factors in LPS-induced ALI (P<0.05). At the cellular level, OI also reduced oxidative stress and inflammation. Intervention with OI was also observed to upregulate the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf-2) and Nrf-2 target genes in the lung tissue and RAW264.7 cells. Conclusion OI alleviates LPS-induced ALI. Moreover, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of OI might depend on the activation of Nrf-2. Therefore, OI might have therapeutic potential for the treatment of ALI.

Abstract
Over a short span of two decades, the central role of angiogenesis in the treatment of wound healing, diverse cancers, nerve defect, vascular injury and several ophthalmic diseases has become evident. Tetrahydropalmatine, as the index component of Corydalis yanhusuo W. T. Wang, is inseparable from protecting cardiovascular system, yet its role in angiogenesis has been poorly characterized. We have demonstrated the binding potential of THP and VEGFR2 using molecular docking based on the clinical experience of traditional Chinese medicine in the pretest study. Here, we identified tetrahydropalmatine (THP) as one proangiogenic trigger via regulation of arginine biosynthesis by pharmacological assays and DESI-MSI/GC-MS based metabolomics. First, the proangiogenic effects of THP were evaluated by quail chorioallantoic membrane test in vivo and multiple models of endothelial cells in vitro. According to virtual screening, the main mechanisms of THP (2/5 of the top terms with smaller p-value) were metabolic pathways. Hence, metabolomics was applied for the main mechanisms of THP and results showed the considerable metabolite difference in arginine biosynthesis (p < 0.05) altered by THP. Finally, correlated indicators were deteced using targeted metabolomics and pharmacological assays for validation, and results suggested the efficacy of THP on citrulline to arginine flux, arginine biosynthesis, and endothelial VEGFR2 expression sequentially, leading to the promotion of angiogenesis. Overall, this manuscript identified THP as the proangiogenic trigger with the potential to develop as pharmacological agents for unmet clinical needs.

Abstract
Background G9a, a well-known methyltransferase, plays a vital role in biological processes. However, its role in corneal neovascularization (CoNV) remains unclear. Methods. In vitro and in vivo models were assessed in hypoxia-stimulated angiogenesis and in a mouse model of alkali burn-induced CoNV. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured under hypoxic conditions and different reoxygenation times to identify the molecular mechanisms involved in this process. Results In this study, we found that G9a was positively related to corneal alkali burn-induced injury. Inhibition of G9a with BIX 01294 (BIX) alleviated corneal injury, including oxidative stress and neovascularization in vivo models were assessed in hypoxia-stimulated angiogenesis and in a mouse model of alkali burn-induced CoNV. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured under hypoxic conditions and different reoxygenation times to identify the molecular mechanisms involved in this process.
