    Abstract An imbalance in PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway signaling in humans often leads to cancer. Therefore, the investigation of anti-cancer medications that inhibit PI3K and mTOR has emerged as a significant area of research. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of XIN-10, a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, on the growth as well as antiproliferation of tumor cells and to investigate the anti-tumor mechanism of XIN-10 by further exploration. We screened three cell lines for more in-depth exploration by MTT experiments. From the AO staining, cell cycle and apoptosis, we found that XIN-10 had a more obvious inhibitory effect on the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line and used this as a selection for more in-depth experiments. A series of in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that XIN-10 has superior antiproliferative activity compared with the positive drug GDC-0941. Meanwhile, through the results of protein blotting and PCR experiments, we concluded that XIN-10 can block the activation of the downstream pathway of mTOR by inhibiting the phosphorylation of AKT(S473) as well as having significant inhibitory effects on the gene exons of PI3K and mTOR. These results indicate that XIN-10 is a highly potent inhibitor with low toxicity and has a strong potential to be developed as a novel PI3Kα/mTOR dual inhibitor candidate for the treatment of positive breast cancer.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Kai-Xin-San (KXS) is a classic herbal formula for the treatment and prevention of AD (Alzheimer's disease) with definite curative effect, but its mechanism, which involves multiple components, pathways, and targets, is not yet fully understood.
    Aim of the study: To verify the effect of KXS on gut microbiota and explore its anti-AD mechanism related with gut microbiota.
    Materials and methods: AD rat model was established and evaluated by intraperitoneal injection of D-gal and bilateral hippocampal CA1 injections of Aβ
    Results: KXS could significantly improve cognitive impairment, reduce neuronal damage and attenuate neuroinflammation and colonic inflammation in vivo in AD model rats. Nine differential intestinal bacteria associated with AD were screened, in which four bacteria (Lactobacillus murinus, Ligilactobacillus, Alloprevotella, Prevotellaceae_NK3B31_group) were very significant.
    Conclusion: KXS can maintain the ecological balance of intestinal microbiota and exert its anti-AD effect by regulating the composition and proportion of gut microbiota in AD rats through the microbiota-gut-brain axis.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Kai-Xin-San (KXS) is a classic famous prescription that has been utilized for centuries to address dementia. New investigations have shown that the anti-dementia effect of KXS is connected with improved neuroinflammation. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism is not well elucidated.
    Aim of the study: We propose to discover the ameliorative impact of KXS on Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its regulatory role on the mitochondrial autophagy-nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome pathway.
    Materials and methods: The Y maze, Morris water maze, and new objection recognition tests were applied to ascertain the spatial learning and memory capacities of amyloid precursor protein/presenilin 1 (APP/PS1) mice after KXS-treatment. Meanwhile, the biochemical indexes of the hippocampus were detected by reagent kits. The pathological alterations and mitochondrial autophagy in the mice' hippocampus were detected utilizing hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence staining, and transmission electron microscopy. Besides, the PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin and NLRP3 inflammasome pathways protein expressions were determined employing the immunoblot analysis.
    Results: The results of behavioral tests showed that KXS significantly enhanced the AD mice' spatial learning and memory capacities. Furthermore, KXS reversed the biochemical index levels and reduced amyloid-β protein deposition in AD mice brains. Besides, H&E staining showed that KXS remarkably ameliorated the neuronal damage in AD mice. Concurrently, the results of transmission electron microscopy suggest that KXS ameliorated the mitochondrial damage in microglia and promoted mitochondrial autophagy. Moreover, the immunofluorescence outcomes exhibited that KXS promoted the expression of protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B) associated with microtubule and the generation of autophagic flux. Notably, the immunofluorescence co-localization results confirmed the presence of mitochondrial autophagy in microglia. Finally, KXS promoted the protein expressions of the PINK1/Parkin pathway and reduced the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. Most importantly, these beneficial effects of KXS were attenuated by the mitochondrial autophagy inhibitor chloroquine.
    Conclusion: KXS ameliorates AD-related neuropathology and cognitive impairment in APP/PS1 mice by enhancing the mitochondrial autophagy and suppressing the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.

    Abstract Globally, breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths. In Taiwan, it is the most prevalent cancer among females. Since San-Huang-Xie-Xin-Tang (SHXXT) exerts not only an anti-inflammatory but an immunomodulatory effect, it may act as a potent anti-tumor agent. Herein, the study aimed to explore the influence of SHXXT and its constituents on the mortality rate among breast cancer patients in Taiwan regarding the component effect and the dose-relationship effect. By using the Taiwan National Health Insurance (NHI) Research Database (NHIRD), the study analyzed 5387 breast cancer patients taking Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) and 5387 breast cancer patients not using CHM. CHM means SHXXT and its constituents in the study. The Kaplan-Meier method was utilized to determine the mortality probabilities among patients. Whether the CHM influences the mortality rate among patients was estimated by Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. The use of CHM could lower the cancer mortality rate by 59% in breast cancer patients. The protective effect was parallel to the cumulative days of CHM use and the annual average CHM dose. In addition, the mortality rate was lower in patients who used SHXXT compared to those who only used one of its constituents. SHXXT and its constituents were all promising therapeutic weapons against breast cancer.

    Abstract Blocking the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway has been widely recognized as an attractive cancer therapeutic strategy because of its crucial role in cell growth and survival. In this study, a novel series of 2-arylurea-1,3,5-triazine derivatives had been synthesized and evaluated as highly potent PI3K and mTOR inhibitors. The new compounds exhibited cytotoxic activities against MCF-7, Hela and A549 cancer cell lines (IC<sub>50</sub> = 0.03-36.54 μM). The most promising compound XIN-9 exhibited potent inhibition against PI3K and mTOR kinase (IC<sub>50</sub> = 23.8 and 10.9 nM). Mechanistic study using real-time PCR revealed the ability of XIN-9 to inhibit PI3K and mTOR. In addition, compound XIN-9 arrested the cell cycle of MCF-7 cells at the G0/G1 phase. XIN-9 also caused a significant dose-dependent increase of early and late apoptotic events. Molecular docking analysis revealed a high binding affinity for XIN-9 toward PI3K and mTOR. Following in vitro studies, XIN-9 was further evaluated in MCF-7 xenograft models to show significant in vivo anticancer efficacies with tumor growth inhibitions of 41.67% (po, 75 mg/kg). Overall, this work indicated that compound XIN-9 represents a potential anticancer targeting PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Kai Xin San (KXS), first proposed by Sun Simiao during the Tang Dynasty, has been utilized to treat dementia by tonifying qi and dispersing phlegm.
    Aim of the study: This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism by which KXS exerts its therapeutic effects on Alzheimer's disease (AD) by targeting ferroptosis, using a combination of network pharmacology, bioinformatics, and experimental validation strategies.
    Materials and methods: The active target sites and the further potential mechanisms of KXS in protecting against AD were investigated through molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, and network pharmacology, and combined with the validation of animal experiments.
    Results: Computational and experimental findings provide the first indication that KXS significantly improves learning and memory defects and inhibits neuronal ferroptosis by repairing mitochondria damage and upregulating the protein expression of ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) in vivo APP/PS1 mice AD model. According to bioinformatics analysis, the mechanism by which KXS inhibits ferroptosis may involve SIRT1. KXS notably upregulated the mRNA and protein expression of SIRT1 in both vivo APP/PS1 mice and in vitro APP-overexpressed HT22 cells. Additionally, KXS inhibited ferroptosis induced by APP-overexpression in HT22 cells through activating the SIRT1-FSP1 signal pathway.
    Conclusions: Collectively, our findings suggest that KXS may inhibit neuronal ferroptosis through activating the SIRT1/FSP1 signaling pathway. This study reveals the scientific basis and underlying modern theory of replenishing qi and eliminating phlegm, which involves the inhibition of ferroptosis. Moreover, it highlights the potential application of SIRT1 or FSP1 activators in the treatment of AD and other ferroptosis-related diseases.

    Abstract: ... therapeutic efficacy of Xin-shu-bao (XSB) at different stages of HF following induction ...

    Abstract Traditional Chinese medicine offer unique advantages in mitigating and preventing early or intermediate stage for treating heart failure (HF). The purpose of this study was to assess the in vivo therapeutic efficacy of Xin-shu-bao (XSB) at different stages of HF following induction of a myocardial infarction (MI) in mice and use mass spectrometry-based proteomics to identify potential therapeutic targets for different stages of HF based on the molecular changes following XSB treatment. XSB had high cardioprotective efficacy in the pre-HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) stages, but had a weak or no effect in the post-HFrEF stages. This was supported by echocardiographic measurements showing that XSB decreased ejection fraction and fractional shortening in HF. XSB administration improved cardiac function in the pre- and post-HFrEF mouse model, ameliorated deleterious changes to the morphology and subcellular structure of cardiomyocytes, and reduced cardiac fibrosis. Proteomics analysis showed that XSB intervention exclusively targeted thrombomodulin (THBD) and stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) proteins when administered to the mice for both 8 and 6 weeks. Furthermore, XSB intervention for 8, 6, and 4 weeks after MI induction increased the expression of fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) and decreased arrestin β1 (ARRB1), which are classic biomarkers of cardiac fibroblast transformation and collagen synthesis, respectively. Overall, the study suggests that early intervention with XSB could be an effective strategy for preventing HFrEF and highlights potential therapeutic targets for further investigation into HFrEF remediation strategies.
