Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common condition worldwide, affecting millions of people. Women are more commonly affected than men, and the risk increases with age. Inflammatory reaction plays a crucial role in the expansion of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is characterized by a gradual decline in bone density and bone tissue quality, which increases fragility and raises the risk of fractures. We scrutinized the anti-osteoporosis effect of hydroxysafflor yellow A (HYA) against glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) in rats. In-silico study was carried out on EGFR receptor (PDBID: 1m17), Estrogen Alpha (PDB id: 2IOG), MTOR (PDB id: 4FA6), RANKL (PDB id: 1S55), and VEGFR2 (PDB id: 1YWN) protein. For this investigation, Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used, and they received an oral dose of HYA (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg, b.w.) along with a subcutaneous injection of dexamethasone (0.1 mg/kg/day) to induce osteoporosis. The biomechanical, bone parameters, antioxidant, cytokines, inflammatory, nutrients, hormones, and urine parameters were estimated. HYA treatment significantly suppressed the body weight and altered the organ weight. HYA treatment remarkably suppressed the level of alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, and improved the level of bone mineral density (total, proximal, mild, and dis). HYA treatment restored the level of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), estradiol (E2), and parathyroid hormone near to the normal level. HYA treatment remarkably altered the level of biomechanical parameters, antioxidant, cytokines, urine, and inflammatory parameters. HYA treatment altered the level of osteoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa beta (RANKL) and RANKL/OPG ratio. The result clearly showed the anti-osteoporosis effect of HYA against GIOP-induced osteoporosis in rats via alteration of antioxidant, cytokines, inflammatory, and bone protective parameters.

Peroxynitrite-activated fluorescent probe with two reaction triggers for pathological diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation of inflammation. Bioorg Chem 2024; 147:107362. [PMID: 38615474 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107362] [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: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
Excessive peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is closely related to the occurrence and progression of inflammation. Therefore, the development of an efficacious ONOO- activatable probe holds great potential for the early diagnosis of pathological inflammation, and the direct evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy of active protectants. In this work, a new ONOO--activated fluorescent probe (SZP) which greatly improved the specificity and sensitivity (LOD = 8.03 nM) with large Stokes shift (150 nm) through introducing two reaction triggers (diphenyl phosphinate moiety, CC unsaturated bond) was rationally designed for rapid detecting ONOO- (within 2 min). The excellent properties of probe SZP enable it to realize the fluorescence-guided diagnosis of inflammation. More importantly, probe SZP has also been utilized to assess the anti-inflammatory efficacy of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) active ingredients for the remediation of inflammation by monitoring ONOO- fluctuation for the first time.

Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1413666. [PMID: 38873425 PMCID: PMC11169665 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1413666] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Ulcerative colitis (UC) is marked by recurring inflammation. Existing treatments are ineffective and may have toxic side effects. Thus, new therapeutic agents are urgently needed. We studied the botanical formula "Li-Hong Tang (LHT)", which contains two main ingredients, Salvia plebeia R. Br and Rhodiola crenulata (Hook. f. et Thoms.) H. Ohba. In this study, we aimed to identify the effects of LHT on UC and explore its potential mechanism. Methods LHT was analyzed using a mass spectrometer (MS). DSS at a dose of 2.5% was utilized to develop UC in mice. The administered groups received low, medium, and high dosages (0.32 g/kg, 0.64 g/kg, and 1.28 g/kg) of LHT and the positive medication, sulfasalazine (0.2 g/kg), respectively. Body weight, disease activity index (DAI) score, colon length, spleen index, serum myeloperoxidase (MPO), nitric oxide (NO), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and inflammatory factor concentrations were monitored. The expression of NRF2 and HO-1 in colonic tissues was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. 16S rDNA sequencing was employed to investigate alterations in the gut microbiota of the mice, aiming to elucidate the extent of LHT's impact. Results LHT may ameliorate DSS-induced colitis in mice by lowering inflammation, reducing oxidative stress, restoring the intestinal barrier, and influencing the NRF2/HO-1 pathway. Moreover, LHT treatment exhibited a regulatory effect on the gut microbiota, characterized by elevated levels of Patescibacteria, Verrucomicrobiota, Candidatus_Saccharimonas, Lactobacillus, and Ligilactobacillus levels while decreasing Oscillibacter and Colidextribacter levels. Further study indicated that MPO, NO, and inflammatory factors were positively correlated with Oscillibacter, Colidextribacter, Escherichia-Shigella, Anaerostines, and negatively with Lactobacillus, Clostridiales_unclassified, Candidatus_Saccharimonas, and Patescibacteria. Furthermore, colony network analysis revealed that Lactobacillus was negatively associated with Oscillibacter and Colidextribacter, whereas Oscillibacter was positively related to Colidextribacter. Conclusion LHT protects against DSS-induced mice by inhibiting the inflammatory response, oxidative stress, and mucosal injury. The protective role may involve regulating the NRF2/HO-1 signaling pathway and gut microbiota.

Curr Drug Targets 2024; 25:135-148. [PMID: 38213165 DOI: 10.2174/0113894501275292231220062838] [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: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Astragali Radix (AR) has a long history as a traditional Chinese medicine for anti-osteoporosis (OP) treatment. The aim of the study was to explore the effect and optimal regimens of AR and its main ingredients (IAR) in OP treatment. METHODS Eligible animal studies were searched in seven databases (PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, SciELO Citation Index, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang). The primary outcomes were bone metabolic indices. The secondary outcome measure was the anti-OP mechanism of IAR. RESULTS 21 studies were enrolled in the study. The primary findings of the present article illustrated that IAR could significantly increase the bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume over the total volume, trabecular number, trabecular thickness, bone maximum load and serum calcium, while trabecular separation and serum C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen were remarkably decreased (P < 0.05). In subgroup analysis, the BMD in the long treatment group (≥ 10 weeks) showed better effect size than the short treatment group (< 10 weeks) (P < 0.05). Modeling methods and animal sex were factors affecting serum alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin levels. CONCLUSION The findings suggest the possibility of developing IAR as a drug for the treatment of OP. IAR with longer treatment time may achieve better effects regardless of animal strain and age.

Abstract
Objective To explore the efficacy of Danshen injection combined with calcitriol and calcium/Vitamin-D in the treatment of osteoporotic fractures. Methods This was a case-control study. We retrospectively reviewed clinical data of 91 patients with osteoporotic fractures who received treatment in Rui'an People's Hospital from February 2021 to July 2022. The data were divided into a control group with 44 records of patients who received treatment with calcitriol and calcium/Vitamin-D, and a study group with 47 patients who received Danshen injection combined with calcitriol and calcium/Vitamin-D. The control group individuals were coordinated with the patients in terms of their age and gender. Treatment effects, inflammatory response levels, and bone metabolic status levels were comparable between the two groups before and after the treatment. Results The total efficacy of the treatment in the study group was better than that in the control group (P<0.05). After the treatment, levels of serum inflammatory factors in both groups decreased compared to those before the treatment, and the study group displayed lower levels than the control group (P<0.05). After the treatment, the bone metabolism status of both groups improved, and the improvement effect of the study group was better (P<0.05). The incidences of adverse reactions were similar in both groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Danshen injection combined with calcitriol and calcium/Vitamin-D for the treatment of osteoporotic fractures can effectively reduce inflammation, regulate bone metabolism, and improve fracture treatment efficacy with a favorable safety profile.

[PMID: 37748788 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.8013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/27/2023]
Abstract
Galangin is an important flavonoid with natural activity, that is abundant in galangal and propolis. Currently, various biological activities of galangin have been disclosed, including anti-inflammation, antibacterial effect, anti-oxidative stress and aging, anti-fibrosis, and antihypertensive effect. Based on the above bioactivities, more and more attention has been paid to the role of galangin in neurodegenerative diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, skin diseases, and cancer. In this paper, the natural sources, pharmacokinetics, bioactivities, and therapeutic potential of galangin against various diseases were systematically reviewed by collecting and summarizing relevant literature. In addition, the molecular mechanism and new preparation of galangin in the treatment of related diseases are also discussed, to broaden the application prospect and provide reference for its clinical application. Furthermore, it should be noted that current toxicity and clinical studies of galangin are insufficient, and more evidence is needed to support its possibility as a functional food.

Abstract
Bone metabolic homeostasis is dependent on coupled bone formation dominated by osteoblasts and bone resorption dominated by osteoclasts, which is a process of dynamic balance between bone formation and bone resorption. Notably, the formation of bone relies on the development of bone vasculature. Previous studies have shown that oxidative stress caused by disturbances in the antioxidant system of the whole organism is an important factor affecting bone metabolism. The increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species can lead to disturbances in bone metabolism, which can initiate multiple bone diseases, such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. Traditional Chinese medicine is considered to be an effective antioxidant. Cumulative evidence shows that the traditional Chinese medicine can alleviate oxidative stress-mediated bone metabolic disorders by modulating multiple signaling pathways, such as Nrf2/HO-1 signaling, PI3K/Akt signaling, Wnt/β-catenin signaling, NF-κB signaling, and MAPK signaling. In this paper, the potential mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine to regulate bone me-tabolism through oxidative stress is summarized to provide direction and theoretical basis for future research related to the treatment of bone diseases with traditional Chinese medicine.
