Abstract
Renal fibrosis plays a key role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD), in which the persistent high expression of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) contributes to the progression of CKD to renal failure. In order to improve the solubility, bioavailability, and targeting of tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA), a novel targeting material, aminoethyl anisamide-polyethylene glycol-1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate ethanolamine (AEAA-PEG-DSPE, APD) modified Tan IIA liposomes (APD-Tan IIA-L) was constructed. An animal model of glomerulonephritis induced by doxorubicin in BALB/c mice was established. APD-Tan IIA-L significantly decreased blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine (SCr), and the consequences of renal tissue oxidative stress indicators showed that APD-Tan IIA-L downregulated malondialdehyde, upregulated superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. Masson's trichrome staining showed that the deposition of collagen in the APD-Tan IIA-L group decreased significantly. The pro-fibrotic factors (fibronectin, collagen I, TGF-β1, and α-SMA) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition marker (N-cadherin) were significantly inhibited by APD-Tan IIA-L. By improving the microenvironment of fibrotic kidneys, APD-Tan IIA-L attenuated TGF-β1-induced excessive proliferation of fibroblasts and alleviated oxidative stress damage to the kidney, providing a new strategy for the clinical treatment of renal fibrosis.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 319:117354. [PMID: 38380573 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a severe diabetic microvascular complication with an increasing prevalence rate and lack of effective treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine has been proven to have favorable efficacy on DN, especially Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (SM), one of the most critical and conventional herbs in the treatment. Over the past decades, studies have demonstrated that SM is a potential treatment for DN, and the exploration of the underlying mechanism has also received much attention. AIM OF THIS REVIEW This review aims to systematically study the efficacy and pharmacological mechanism of SM in the treatment of DN to understand its therapeutic potential more comprehensively. MATERIALS AND METHODS Relevant information was sourced from Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, and CNKI databases. RESULTS Several clinical trials and systematic reviews have indicated that SM has definite benefits on the kidneys of diabetic patients. And many laboratory studies have further revealed that SM and its characteristic extracts, mainly including salvianolic acids and tanshinones, can exhibit pharmacological activity against DN by the regulation of metabolism, renal hemodynamic, oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, autophagy, et cetera, and several involved signaling pathways, thereby preventing various renal cells from abnormal changes in DN, including endothelial cells, podocytes, epithelial cells, and mesangial cells. CONCLUSION As a potential drug for the treatment of DN, SM has multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway pharmacological effects. This work will not only verify the satisfactory curative effect of SM in the treatment of DN but also provide helpful insights for the development of new anti-DN drugs and the application of traditional Chinese medicine.

Abstract
The kidney is an important organ in the human body, with functions such as urine production, the excretion of metabolic waste, the regulation of water, electrolyte and acid-base balance and endocrine release. The morbidity and mortality of kidney diseases are increasing year by year worldwide, and they have become a serious public health problem. In recent years, natural products derived from fungi, plants and animals have become an important alternative source of treatment for kidney diseases because of their multiple pathways, multiple targets, safety, low toxicity and few side effects. Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) is a lipid-soluble diterpene quinone isolated from the Chinese herb Salvia miltiorrhiza, considered as a common drug for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. As researchers around the world continue to explore its unknown biological activities, it has also been found to have a wide range of biological effects, such as anti-cancer, anti-oxidative stress, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and hepatoprotective effects, among others. In recent years, many studies have elaborated on its renoprotective effects in various renal diseases, including diabetic nephropathy (DN), renal fibrosis (RF), uric acid nephropathy (UAN), renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and drug-induced kidney injury caused by cisplatin, vancomycin and acetaminophen (APAP). These effects imply that Tan IIA may be a promising drug to use against renal diseases. This article provides a comprehensive review of the pharmacological mechanisms of Tan IIA in the treatment of various renal diseases, and it provides some references for further research and clinical application of Tan IIA in renal diseases.

[PMID: 36820318 PMCID: PMC9938769 DOI: 10.1155/2023/9150324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Revised: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/13/2023]
Abstract
Objective To explore the potential molecular mechanism of Pueraria Lobata Radix (RP) and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix (RS) in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) based on network pharmacology and molecular docking. Methods The chemical constituents and core targets of RP and RS were searched by Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology (TCMSP); target genes related to T2DM were obtained through GeneCards database, component target network diagram was constructed, intersection genes of active compounds and T2DM were synthesized, protein-protein interaction (PPI) relationship was obtained, and core targets were screened by using Cytoscape 3.7.2. Gene Ontology (GO) biological process and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway were analyzed utilizing R studio 4.0.4 according to David database. Based on molecular docking, the screened active components of RP and RS were verified by molecular docking with the core target using Discovery Studio 2019. Results There were totally 92 components and 29 corresponding targets in the component target network of RP and RS drug pair, of which 6 were the core targets of RP and RS in the treatment of T2DM. Molecular docking results showed that the active compounds of puerarin, formononetin, tanshinone iia, and luteolin had better binding activity with AKT1, VEGFA, NOS3, PPARG, MMP9, and VCAM1, respectively. Among them, puerarin showed significant effects in activating NOS3 pathway and luteolin exhibited significant effects in activating MMP9 pathway, respectively. The main biological processes mainly including xenobiotic stimulus, response to peptide, gland development, response to radiation, cellular response to chemical stress, response to oxygen levels, and the main signal pathways include response to xenobiotic stimulus, cellular response to chemical stress, response to peptide, gland development, and response to oxygen levels. Conclusion Network pharmacology is an effective tool to explain the action mechanism of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from the overall perspective. RP and RS pair could alleviate T2DM via the molecular mechanism predicted by the network pharmacology, which provided new ideas and further research on the molecular mechanism of T2DM.

The C-Terminal 300 Amino Acid Residues of the G Protein and Putative Open Reading Frame X of the G Gene of Tailam Paramyxovirus (TlmPV) Are Not Required for Replication in Tissue Culture Cells. J Virol 2023; 97:e0180222. [PMID: 36521070 PMCID: PMC9888184 DOI: 10.1128/jvi.01802-22] [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] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Tailam paramyxovirus (TlmPV) was identified in Sikkim Rats in Hong Kong, China in 2011. Its negative sense RNA genome is similar to J paramyxovirus (JPV) and Beilong paramyxovirus (BeiPV), the prototypes of the recently established genus Jeilongvirus. TlmPV genome is predicted to have eight genes in the order 3'-N-P/V/C-M-F-SH-TM-G/X-L-5'. The predicted size of the TlmPV G protein is 1,052 amino acid (aa) residues and much larger than G proteins of typical paramyxoviruses, which are often less than 800 aa. In addition to G open reading frame (ORF) in the G gene, another ORF, termed ORF-X exists in the G gene transcript. Similar ORF-X exists in JPV and BeiPV G gene, but their expression in virus-infected cells has not been confirmed. In this study, we generated infectious TlmPV using a newly developed reverse genetics system. We have found that the G protein of TlmPV is truncated in cultured cells: stop codons emerged in the G open reading frame, resulting in deletions of amino acid residues beyond residue 732. We have obtained infectious TlmPV lacking the C-terminal 307 aa (rTlmPV-G745) and TlmPV lacking the C-terminal 306 aa and the ORF-X (rTlmPV-GΔ746-X). The recombinant TlmPVs lacking the C-terminal 300 aa reach a higher peak viral titer and have improved genome stability in tissue cultured cells. The work indicates that the C-terminal of the G protein of TlmPV and ORF-X are not required for replication in tissue culture cells, and the deletion of the C-terminal confers a growth advantage in tissue culture cells. IMPORTANCE TlmPV is a member of the recently established genus Jeilongvirus. TlmPV encodes a large G protein and its G gene contains ORF-X. In this work, infectious TlmPV was recovered using reverse genetics. Using this system, we have demonstrated that 300 aa of C-terminal of G and the ORF-X are not required for viral replication in tissue culture cells.

Efficacy and Safety of Tanshinone for Chronic Kidney Disease: A Meta-Analysis. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2020; 2020:3091814. [PMID: 32419800 PMCID: PMC7201484 DOI: 10.1155/2020/3091814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2019] [Revised: 12/02/2019] [Accepted: 12/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of tanshinone for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the treatment of CKD using tanshinone were searched using 4 Chinese databases (China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Value In Paper (VIP), Wanfang, and Chinese Biology Medicine (CBM)) and 3 English databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Excerpta Medica Database (Embase)). The results included data on blood urine nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), 24 h urine protein, microalbuminuria (mALB), β2-macroglobulin (β2-MG), cystatin C (CysC), and safety events. The data were analyzed using Revman 5.3 and Stata 12.0 software. Results Twenty-one studies were entered into this meta-analysis, which involved 1857 patients including 954 cases from the tanshinone treatment group and 903 cases from the control group. BUN levels in the tanshinone treatment group were significantly reduced compared with the control (standardized mean difference (SMD) = −0.65, 95% confidence interval (CI): −0.81 to −0.49, p < 0.01). In addition, subgroup analysis indicated that tanshinone had a significant effect in reducing Scr levels at 14, 21, and 28 days. Scr levels in the tanshinone treatment group were significantly reduced compared with the control group (SMD = −1.40, 95% CI: −2.09 to −0.71, p < 0.01); subgroup analysis based on treatment time also yielded the same results. GFR in the tanshinone treatment group was better than that in the control group (SMD = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.59 to 1.07, p < 0.01). In terms of urine protein levels, 24 h urine protein level, mALB, and β2-MG of CKD patients were reduced to some degree compared with controls, and CysC levels in the tanshinone treatment group were also significantly reduced compared with the control group (SMD = −0.24, 95% CI: −0.44 to −0.03, p < 0.05). Safety in the tanshinone treatment group did not differ significantly from that of the control group (risk ratio (RR) = 7.78, 95% CI: 0.99 to 61.05, p > 0.05). Conclusion This meta-analysis showed that tanshinone could control urine protein level in CKD patients, improve kidney function, and delay the evolution of CKD without significant side effects. However, the results were limited and should be interpreted with caution because of the low quality of the included studies. In the future, more rigorous clinical trials need to be conducted to provide sufficient and accurate evidence.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a diabetes complication that comes from overactivation of Renin-Angiotensin System, excessive pro-inflammatory factors, reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction, and potential epigenetic changes. Tanshinone IIA (TIIA), a diterpene quinone phytochemical, has been shown to possess powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, epigenetics, and protective effects against different diseases including DN by inhibiting ROS induced by high glucose (HG). However, epigenomic and transcriptomic study of DN and the protective effect of TIIA are lacking. In this study, next-generation sequencing of RNA and DNA methylation profiles on the potential underlying mechanisms of a DN model in mouse kidney mesangial mes13 cells challenged with HG and treatment with TIIA were conducted. Bioinformatic analysis coupled with Ingenuity Pathway analysis of RNA-seq was performed, and 1780 genes from HG/LG and 1416 genes from TIIA/HG were significantly altered. Several pro-inflammatory pathways like leukotriene biosynthesis and eicosanoid signaling pathways were activated by HG stimulation, while TIIA treatment would enhance glutathione-mediated detoxification pathway to overcome the excess oxidative stress and inflammation triggered by HG. Combination analysis of RNA-seq and Methyl-seq data sets, DNA methylation, and RNA expression of a list of DN associated genes, Nmu, Fgl2, Glo, and Kcnip2, were found to be altered in HG-induced mes13 DN model, and TIIA treatment would effectively restore the alterations. Taken together, these findings provide novel insights into the understanding of how epigenetic/epigenomic modifications could affect the progression of DN and the potential preventive effect of TIIA in DN.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2019; 58:152871. [PMID: 30851580 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2019.152871] [Citation(s) in RCA: 86] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2018] [Revised: 02/01/2019] [Accepted: 02/17/2019] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Salvia miltiorrhiza (SM), one of the frequently used herbs in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has now attracted rising interests for a possible alternative in the management of diabetes. This review is aimed to providing a comprehensive perspective of SM in phytochemical constituents, pharmacological activities against diabetes and its complications, and safety. METHODS A comprehensive search of published literatures was conducted to locate original publications pertaining to SM and diabetes till the end of 2017 using PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, National Science and Technology Library, China Science and Technology Journal Database, and Web of Science database. The main inquiry was used for the presence of the following keywords in various combinations in the titles and abstracts: Salvia miltiorrhiza, diabetes, obesity, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and safety. About 200 research papers and reviews were consulted. RESULTS SM exhibited anti-diabetic activities by treating macro- and micro-vascular diseases in preclinical experiments and clinical trials through an improvement of redox homeostasis and inhibition of apoptosis and inflammation via the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin, TSP-1/TGF-β1/STAT3, JNK/PI3K/Akt, kinin B2 receptor-Akt-GSK-3β, AMPKβ/PGC-1α/Sirt3, Akt/AMPK, TXNIP/NLRP3, TGF-β1/NF-κB, mineralocorticoid receptor/Na+/K+-ATPase, AGEs/RAGE, Nrf2/Keap1, CaMKKβ/AMPK, AMPK/ACC, IRS-1/PI3K signaling pathways, and modulation of K+-Ca2+ channels, as well as influence of VEGF, NOS, AGEs, PPAR expression and hIAPP aggregation. The antidiabetic effects of this herb may be related to its TCM characters of improving blood circulation and reliving blood stasis. The main ingredients of SM included salvianolic acids and diterpenoid tanshinones, which have been well studied in the diabetic animals. Acute and subacute toxicity studies supported the notion that SM is well tolerated. CONCLUSION SM may offer a new strategy for prevention and treatment of diabetes and its complications that stimulates extensive research into identifying potential anti-diabetic compounds and fractions as well as exploring the underlying mechanisms of this herb. Further scientific evidences are still required from well-designed preclinical experiments and clinical trials on its anti-diabetic effects and safety.
