Abstract
Drug development for atherosclerosis, the underlying pathological state of ischemic cardiovascular diseases, has posed a longstanding challenge. Saponins, classified as steroid or triterpenoid glycosides, have shown promising therapeutic potential in the treatment of atherosclerosis. Through an exhaustive examination of scientific literature spanning from May 2013 to May 2023, we identified 82 references evaluating 37 types of saponins in terms of their prospective impacts on atherosclerosis. These studies suggest that saponins have the potential to ameliorate atherosclerosis by regulating lipid metabolism, inhibiting inflammation, suppressing apoptosis, reducing oxidative stress, and modulating smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration, as well as regulating gut microbiota, autophagy, endothelial senescence, and angiogenesis. Notably, ginsenosides exhibit significant potential and manifest essential pharmacological attributes, including lipid-lowering, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and anti-oxidative stress effects. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the pharmacological attributes of saponins in atherosclerosis, with particular emphasis on their role in the regulation of lipid metabolism regulation and anti-inflammatory effects. Thus, saponins may warrant further investigation as a potential therapy for atherosclerosis. However, due to various reasons such as low oral bioavailability, the clinical application of saponins in the treatment of atherosclerosis still needs further exploration.

Eugenol Inhibits Ox-LDL-Induced Proliferation and Migration of Human Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells by Inhibiting the Ang II/MFG-E8/MCP-1 Signaling Cascade. J Inflamm Res 2024; 17:641-653. [PMID: 38328560 PMCID: PMC10847669 DOI: 10.2147/jir.s446960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective In this study, we investigated the effect and mechanism of action of eugenol on oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced abnormal proliferation and migration of human vascular smooth muscle cells (HVSMCs). Methods HVSMCs were treated with 100 ug/mL ox-LDL for 24 hours to establish a cell model. After 1-hour pretreatment, eugenol at concentrations of 5, 25, and 50 uM was added. Cell viability was assessed using an MTT assay, PCNA expression was detected using Western blot, cell cycle distribution was analyzed using flow cytometry, and cell migration ability was evaluated using wound healing and Transwell migration assays. To investigate the mechanisms, Ang II receptors were inhibited by 1000 nM valsartan, MFG-E8 was knocked down by shRNA, MCP-1 was inhibited by siRNA, and MFG-E8 was overexpressed using plasmids. Results The findings from this study elucidated the stimulatory impact of ox-LDL on the proliferation and functionality of HVSMCs. Different concentrations of eugenol effectively mitigated the enhanced activity of HVSMCs induced by ox-LDL, with 50 uM eugenol exhibiting the most pronounced inhibitory effect. Flow cytometry and Western blot results showed ox-LDL reduced G1 phase cells and increased PCNA expression, while 50 uM eugenol inhibited ox-LDL-induced HVSMC proliferation. In wound healing and Transwell migration experiments, the ox-LDL group showed larger cell scratch filling and migration than the control group, both of which were inhibited by 50 uM eugenol. Inhibiting the Ang II/MFG-E8/MCP-1 signaling cascade mimicked eugenol's effects, while MFG-E8 overexpression reversed eugenol's inhibitory effect. Conclusion Eugenol can inhibit the proliferation and migration of ox-LDL-induced HVSMCs by inhibiting Ang II/MFG-E8/MCP-1 signaling cascade, making it a potential therapeutic drug for atherosclerosis.

The role of angiotensin II activation of yes-associated protein/PDZ-binding motif signaling in hypertensive cardiac and vascular remodeling. Eur J Pharmacol 2024; 962:176252. [PMID: 38061470 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2023.176252] [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: 07/02/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023]
Abstract
Vascular remodeling is the pathogenic basis of hypertension and end organ injury, and the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is central to vascular remodeling. Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) are key effectors of the Hippo pathway and crucial for controlling cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation. The present study investigated the role of YAP/TAZ in cardiac and vascular remodeling of angiotensin II-induced hypertension. Ang II induced YAP/TAZ activation in the heart and aorta, which was prevented by YAP/TAZ inhibitor verteporfin. Treatment with verteporfin significantly reduced Ang II-induced cardiac and vascular hypertrophy with a mild reduction in systolic blood pressure (SBP), verteporfin attenuated Ang II-induced cardiac and aortic fibrosis with the inhibition of transform growth factor (TGF)β/Smad2/3 fibrotic signaling and extracellular matrix collagen I deposition. Ang II induced Rho A, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and YAP/TAZ activation in VSMCs, either Rho kinase inhibitor fasudil or ERK inhibitor PD98059 suppressed Ang II-induced YAP/TAZ activation, cell proliferation and fibrosis of VSMCs. Verteporfin also inhibited Ang II-induced VSMC proliferation and fibrotic TGFβ1/Smad2/3 pathway. These results demonstrate that Ang II activates YAP/TAZ via Rho kinase/ERK1/2 pathway in VSMCs, which may contribute to cardiac and vascular remodeling in hypertension. Our results suggest that YAP/TAZ plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of hypertension and end organ damage, and targeting the YAP/TAZ pathway may be a new strategy for the prevention and treatment of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is the leading cause of respiratory diseases induced by uncontrolled inflammation and cell death. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major trigger of ALI in the progression through macrophage differentiation and the accelerated release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of human milk oligosaccharides, specifically 3'-sialyllactose (3'-SL) and 6'-sialyllactose (6'-SL), on LPS-induced ALI and elucidate their underlying signaling pathways. The inhibitory effects of 3'-SL and 6'-SL on inflammation were evaluated using LPS-treated RAW 264.7 macrophages. To establish the ALI model, mice were treated with 10 mg/kg LPS for 24 h. Histological changes in the lung tissues were assessed using hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunofluorescence. LPS causes thickening of the alveolar wall infiltration of immune cells in lung tissues and increased serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and GM-CSF. However, these effects were significantly alleviated by 100 mg/kg of 3'-SL and 6'-SL. Consistent with the inhibitory effects of 3'-SL and 6'-SL on LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion in serum, 3'-SL and 6'-SL suppressed mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, MCP-1, iNOS, and COX2 in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Mechanistically, 3'-SL and 6'-SL abolished LPS-mediated phosphorylation of NF-κB and STAT1. Interestingly, fludarabine treatment, a STAT1 inhibitor, did not affect LPS-mediated NF-κB phosphorylation. In summary, 3'-SL and 6'-SL protect LPS-induced macrophage activation and ALI through the STAT1 and NF-κB signaling pathways.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammatory disorder which leads to the defect of tooth-supporting tissue, especially in alveolar bone. During this process, the polarization behavior of macrophages affects immune inflammation and bone regeneration in which reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an essential role. ROS level should be regulated to the physiological level to protect stem cells from the inflammatory immune microenvironment. Our previous study constructed a ROS-responsive nanoplatform (Pssl-NAC), which possessed ROS-responsive antioxidative effect and could be potentially applied in periodontitis. However, the connection among bone regeneration, inflammation and oxidative stress remained in osteoimmune regulation is not clear. To further investigate the mechanism of the way how Pssl-NAC works in the treatment of periodontitis would be meaningful. Here, we investigated the effect of PssL-NAC in the regulation of the osteoimmune microenvironment through macrophage polarization. Results show PssL-NAC regulated the macrophage polarization direction in an inflammatory environment by maintaining an appropriate level of intracellular ROS, in which the MAPK/NFκB phosphorylation pathway is particularly important. In the macrophage-human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) co-culture system, PssL-NAC treatment significantly enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. In vivo experiment further confirmed the M2-like macrophages increased in the periodontal tissue of rats, and the expression of iNOS and p65 decreased after PssL-NAC treatment. In conclusion, PssL-NAC regulates the osteoimmune microenvironment and protects stem cells from oxidative stress injury for bone regeneration, which provides a strategy for the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
Previous clinical studies have found that the efficacy of processed Qixue Shuangbu Prescription has been significantly improved in the treatment of chronic heart failure. However, the absorbed constituents and synergistic mechanisms of processed Qixue Shuangbu Prescription to enhance the therapeutic effect of chronic heart failure remain unclear. In this study, we propose an integrated strategy combining plasma metabolomics, network pharmacology, and molecular docking to study the absorbed constituents and synergistic mechanisms of processed Qixue Shuangbu Prescription. A total of 34 prototype constituents and 24 metabolites were identified in rat plasma after administration of crude and processed Qixue Shuangbu Prescription. As a result, six potential absorbed constituents and six potential targets for the treatment of chronic heart failure were identified. In addition, the result of molecular docking indicated that the key constituents exhibited good affinity to hub targets. This study showed that the multiomics approach could effectively clarify absorbed constituents and synergistic mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine processing from a new perspective.

Abstract
Ginsenosides are steroid glycosides derived from ginseng plants such as Panax ginseng, Panax quinquefolium, and Panax notoginseng. Advances in recent studies have identified numerous physiological functions of each type of ginsenoside, i.e., immunomodulatory, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory functions, in the context of inflammatory diseases. Accumulating evidence has revealed the molecular mechanisms by which the single or combined ginsenoside(s) exhibit anti-inflammatory effects, although it remains largely unclear. It is well known that excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is associated with pathological inflammation and cell death in a variety of cells, and that inhibition of ROS generation ameliorates the local and systemic inflammatory responses. The mechanisms by which ginsenosides attenuate inflammation are largely unknown; however, targeting ROS is suggested as one of the crucial mechanisms for the ginsenosides to control the pathological inflammation in the immune and non-immune cells. This review will summarize the latest progress in ginsenoside studies, particularly in the context of antioxidant mechanisms for its anti-inflammatory effects. A better understanding of the distinct types and the combined action of ginsenosides will pave the way for developing potential preventive and therapeutic modalities in treating various inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
The nature of redox is electron transfer; in this way, energy metabolism brings redox stress. Lactate production is associated with NAD regeneration, which is now recognized to play a role in maintaining redox homeostasis. The cellular lactate/pyruvate ratio could be described as a proxy for the cytosolic NADH/NAD ratio, meaning lactate metabolism is the key to redox regulation. Here, we review the role of lactate dehydrogenases in cellular redox regulation, which play the role of the direct regulator of lactate–pyruvate transforming. Lactate dehydrogenases (LDHs) are found in almost all animal tissues; while LDHA catalyzed pyruvate to lactate, LDHB catalyzed the reverse reaction . LDH enzyme activity affects cell oxidative stress with NAD/NADH regulation, especially LDHA recently is also thought as an ROS sensor. We focus on the mutual regulation of LDHA and redox robustness. ROS accumulation regulates the transcription of LDHA. Conversely, diverse post-translational modifications of LDHA, such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination, play important roles in enzyme activity on ROS elimination, emphasizing the potential role of the ROS sensor and regulator of LDHA.
