    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Si-Miao-Yong-An decoction (SMYAD), a classical traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, has been used to treat various cardiovascular diseases in clinics.
    Aim of the study: The aim of this study is to investigate the effective combinatorial components from SMYAD and its mechanism regarding the intervention on myocardial hypertrophy.
    Materials and methods: SMYAD constituents absorbed in rat plasma and heart were identified using UHPLC Q-Exactive-Orbitrap MS/MS. The identified constituents in SMYAD were further analyzed using ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) prediction and molecular docking. The effective constituents were identified using isoproterenol (ISO)-induced H9c2 cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, and neochlorogenic acid (NCA), chlorogenic acid (CA), cryptochlorogenic acid (CCA), isochlorogenic acid C (ICAC), angoroside C (AGDC), isochlorogenic acid A (ICAA), sweroside (SRD), and harpagide (HPD) in SMYAD extract were quantified by HPLC for compatibility. Finally, anti-hypertrophic activities of candidate effective combinatorial components, which were prepared according to the determined molar concentration ratio of effective constituents using reference substance solution, were analyzed using immunofluorescence staining and Quantitative real-time PCR. The expression levels of PI3Kα, p-ERK, p-Akt, Akt, p-mTOR, mTOR and HIF-1α were measured using Western blot.
    Results: 32 prototypes of SMYAD were identified from plasma and heart tissue of rat. Combining with ADMET prediction, 31 dominant constituents were focused. Based on HIF-1 pathway identified in preliminary result, 17 targets were focused, which were used to dock with 31 constituents. 27 constituents were therefore hit as the potential effective constituents of SMYAD in inhibiting myocardial hypertrophy. Bioactivity evaluation showed that NCA, CA, CCA, ICAC, AGDC, ICAA, SRD, and HPD significantly inhibited the increase of H9c2 cell surface area induced by ISO. Except for ICAA and AGDC, the remaining 6 effective constituents, showing a certain inhibitory effect on ISO-induced ANP mRNA overexpression at high and low concentrations, participated in compatibility based on the molar concentration ratio determined by HPLC. Effective combinatorial components composed of the 6 effective constituents (effective combinatorial components ABC) showed significant inhibitory effect on the increase of cell surface area, and the overexpression of ANP and β-MHC mRNA in H9c2 cells induced by ISO. Moreover, effective combinatorial components ABC significantly inhibited the protein overexpressions of p-Akt, p-mTOR and HIF-1α. Based on the results, we put forward the strategy of "Focusing constituents" and "Focusing targets" for the effective constituents research of TCM formula.
    Conclusion: Effective combinatorial components ABC composed of NCA, CA, CCA, ICAC, SRD and HPD from SMYAD inhibited ISO-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and down-regulated expression of ANP and β-MHC mRNA through the inactivation of Akt/mTOR/HIF-1α pathway.

    Abstract A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the Cadmium (Cd) toxicity alleviated by the rhizosphere of Kandelia obovata (S., L.) Yong (K. obovata), using a rhizobox with Cd concentrations of 0, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 mg kg(-1) soil. The rhizobox used to plant K. obovata was divided into five sections by nylon cloth (S2-S5). Our results showed that pH was lower in rhizosphere than in non-rhizosphere soil. Microbial biomass C (Cmic) and N (Nmic) was stimulated in rhizosphere zone, but inhibited by Cd additions. Soil enzyme activities were significantly higher in rhizosphere (S2) than in non-rhizosphere soil (S5) (p < 0.05). In addition, DTPA-extractable Cd in different rhizosphere zone soil (S2-S5) was influenced directly under different rates of Cd supply. Moreover, Cd treatments could induce the enhancement of DTPA-extractable Cd. This study suggests that Cd toxicity can be alleviated in the rhizosphere even under high Cd supply.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: The Si-miao-yong-an decoction (SMYAD) is a famous traditional Chinese medicinal formula that has been used for centuries in ancient China for treating thromboangiitis obliterans. Because of its long history of use, it has been used to treat patients in China for thousands of years. In recent years, SMYAD has been widely used for treating cardiovascular and endocrine diseases. It was shown to significantly increase high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels and reduce total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels in the serum.
    Aim of the study: Herein, a serum metabonomics approach based on the HPLC-MS/MS method was adopted to evaluate the therapeutic effect of SMYAD on high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia, and investigate the mechanisms for treating hyperlipidemia.
    Materials and methods: Firstly, the change in body weight, liver histopathology, and serum biochemistry, including that in the levels of hepatotoxicity-related enzymes, oxidative stress indexes, and inflammatory factors were monitored in rats, to evaluate the therapeutic effect of SMYAD on high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia. Then, a serum metabolomics approach was applied, to cluster different groups using principle component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), as well as to screen out sensitive and reliable biomarkers. Finally, the metabolic pathways associated with specific biomarkers were analyzed, to understand the possible mechanism underlying the action of SMYAD.
    Results: The results indicated that SMYAD had significant anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. Based on the results of serum metabolomics analysis, the hyperlipidemic rats showed completely different results compared to the control rats; metabolite profiles of rats from the SMYAD treatment groups showed a trend comparable to those of the normal control group in a dose-dependent manner. Besides, twelve biomarkers associated with pyruvate metabolism, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, TCA cycle, bile acid metabolism, and glucose metabolism were identified and confirmed, to clarify the mechanism of action of SMYAD.
    Conclusion: Using metabonomics technology, it was predicted that the therapeutic effects of SMYAD were associated with its anti-oxidation as well as anti-inflammatory activities and the adjustment of the pyruvate, taurine as well as hypotaurine metabolism pathways in the hyperlipidemic state. This study provided evidence regarding the clinical application of SMYAD and thoroughly explored the mechanism underlying the action of this traditional Chinese medicine.

    Abstract Hyperlipidemia is common, and its renal toxicity has attracted a great deal of attention. Si-miao-yong-an (SMYA) is a famous ancient decoction of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which is still widely used in clinical treatment. In this study, we observed and explored its efficacy and mechanism in protecting renal function in an atherosclerosis model. The results showed that the serum, Cr urinal KIM-1, and NGAL were significantly decreased in SMYA group. Although SMYA failed to alleviate the lipid accumulation, decrease p-NFκB, or increase SOD in kidney tissue, the levels of ubiquitinated protein and P62 were decreased in SMYA group. What is more, a higher LC3 II level was observed in the SMYA group. In conclusion, these data indicated that SMYA decoction may protect renal function in hyperlipidemia

    Abstract Heart failure (HF), the main cause of death in patients with many cardiovascular diseases, has been reported to be closely related to the complicated pathogenesis of autophagy, apoptosis, and inflammation. Notably, Si-Miao-Yong-An decoction (SMYAD) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) used to treat cardiovascular disease; however, the main active components and their relevant mechanisms remain to be discovered. Based on our previous ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/TOF-MS) results, we identified angoriside C (AC) and 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (3,5-DiCQA) as the main active components of SMYAD. In vivo results showed that AC and 3,5-DiCQA effectively improved cardiac function, reduced the fibrotic area, and alleviated isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocarditis in rats. Moreover, AC and 3,5-DiCQA inhibited ISO-induced autophagic cell death by inhibiting the PDE5A/AKT/mTOR/ULK1 pathway and inhibited ISO-induced apoptosis by inhibiting the TLR4/NOX4/BAX pathway. In addition, the autophagy inhibitor 3-MA was shown to reduce ISO-induced apoptosis, indicating that ISO-induced autophagic cell death leads to excess apoptosis. Taken together, the main active components AC and 3,5-DiCQA of SMYAD inhibit the excessive autophagic cell death and apoptosis induced by ISO by inhibiting the PDE5A-AKT and TLR4-NOX4 pathways, thereby reducing myocardial inflammation and improving heart function to alleviate and treat a rat ISO-induced heart failure model and cell heart failure models. More importantly, the main active components of SMYAD will provide new insights into a promising strategy that will promote the discovery of more main active components of SMYAD for therapeutic purposes in the future.

    Abstract Vibrio mediterranei 117-T6 is extensively pathogenic to several Pyropia species, leading to the death of conchocelis. In this study, the first V. mediterranei phage (named Vibrio phage Yong-XC31, abbreviated as Yong-XC31) was isolated. Yong-XC31 is a giant phage containing an icosahedral head about 113 nm in diameter and a contractible tail about 219 nm in length. The latent period of Yong-XC31 is 30 min, and burst size is 64,227. Adsorption rate of Yong-XC31 to V. mediterranei 117-T6 can reach 93.8% in 2 min. The phage genome consisted of a linear, double-stranded 290,532 bp DNA molecule with a G + C content of 45.87%. Bioinformatic analyses predicted 318 open reading frames (ORFs), 80 of which had no similarity to protein sequences in current (26 January 2021) public databases. Yong-XC31 shared the highest pair-wise average nucleotide identity (ANI) value of 58.65% (below the ≥95% boundary to define a species) and the highest nucleotide sequence similarity of 11.71% (below the >50% boundary to define a genus) with the closest related phage. In the proteomic tree based on genome-wide sequence similarities, Yong-XC31 and three unclassified giant phages clustered in a monophyletic clade independently between the family Drexlerviridae and Herelleviridae. Results demonstrated Yong-XC31 as a new evolutionary lineage of phage. We propose a new phage family in Caudovirales order. This study provides new insights and fundamental data for the study and application of giant phages.

    Abstract Si-Miao-Yong-An decoction (SMYAD), a Chinese herbal formula, has been used in treating ischemic cardiovascular diseases. However, the cardioprotective mechanism of SMYAD treating heart failure (HF) remains unclear. Herein we investigated the effect of SMYAD on isoprenaline (ISO)-induced HF in C57BL/6 mice. Cardiac function and pathological changes in myocardial tissue were evaluated as well as A-type natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) expression. The underlying mechanism of SMYAD was deciphered using UHPLC MS/MS coupled with bioinformatics and was verified. SMYAD treatment significantly ameliorated cardiac function, reduced collagen deposition and cardiomyocyte apoptosis, reversed cardiac hypertrophy and down-regulated the expression levels of ANP and BNP mRNA compared with those in HF mice. Decipherment analyses based on 138 ingredients prompted that anti-oxidation was the key mechanism of SMYAD treating HF. In vitro and in vivo, SMYAD showed antioxidant activity, significantly up-regulated superoxide dismutase (SOD)-1 and SOD-2 mRNA expression levels and reduced NADP/NADPH ratio. Moreover, the increased expression levels of NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2), p47

    Abstract Si-Miao-Yong-An decoction (SMYAD), a classical traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, has been used to treat various cardiovascular diseases in clinics.The aim of this study is to investigate the effective combinatorial components from SMYAD and its mechanism regarding the intervention on myocardial hypertrophy.SMYAD constituents absorbed in rat plasma and heart were identified using UHPLC Q-Exactive-Orbitrap MS/MS. The identified constituents in SMYAD were further analyzed using ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) prediction and molecular docking. The effective constituents were identified using isoproterenol (ISO)-induced H9c2 cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, and neochlorogenic acid (NCA), chlorogenic acid (CA), cryptochlorogenic acid (CCA), isochlorogenic acid C (ICAC), angoroside C (AGDC), isochlorogenic acid A (ICAA), sweroside (SRD), and harpagide (HPD) in SMYAD extract were quantified by HPLC for compatibility. Finally, anti-hypertrophic activities of candidate effective combinatorial components, which were prepared according to the determined molar concentration ratio of effective constituents using reference substance solution, were analyzed using immunofluorescence staining and Quantitative real-time PCR. The expression levels of PI3Kα, p-ERK, p-Akt, Akt, p-mTOR, mTOR and HIF-1α were measured using Western blot.32 prototypes of SMYAD were identified from plasma and heart tissue of rat. Combining with ADMET prediction, 31 dominant constituents were focused. Based on HIF-1 pathway identified in preliminary result, 17 targets were focused, which were used to dock with 31 constituents. 27 constituents were therefore hit as the potential effective constituents of SMYAD in inhibiting myocardial hypertrophy. Bioactivity evaluation showed that NCA, CA, CCA, ICAC, AGDC, ICAA, SRD, and HPD significantly inhibited the increase of H9c2 cell surface area induced by ISO. Except for ICAA and AGDC, the remaining 6 effective constituents, showing a certain inhibitory effect on ISO-induced ANP mRNA overexpression at high and low concentrations, participated in compatibility based on the molar concentration ratio determined by HPLC. Effective combinatorial components composed of the 6 effective constituents (effective combinatorial components ABC) showed significant inhibitory effect on the increase of cell surface area, and the overexpression of ANP and β-MHC mRNA in H9c2 cells induced by ISO. Moreover, effective combinatorial components ABC significantly inhibited the protein overexpressions of p-Akt, p-mTOR and HIF-1α. Based on the results, we put forward the strategy of “Focusing constituents” and “Focusing targets” for the effective constituents research of TCM formula.Effective combinatorial components ABC composed of NCA, CA, CCA, ICAC, SRD and HPD from SMYAD inhibited ISO-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and down-regulated expression of ANP and β-MHC mRNA through the inactivation of Akt/mTOR/HIF-1α pathway.

    Abstract Background: Myocardial fibrosis is an important pathological feature of pressure overload cardiac remodeling. Si-Miao-Yong-An decoction (SMYAD), a traditional Chinese formula, is now clinically used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases in China. However, its mechanisms in the prevention of heart failure are not fully revealed.
    Purpose: To determine whether treatment with SMYAD for 4 weeks would lead to changes in collagen metabolism and ventricular remodeling in a mice model of heart failure.
    Methods: Mice were subjected to transverse aorta constriction to generate pressure overload induced cardiac remodeling and then were administered SMYAD (14.85 g/kg/day) or captopril (16.5 mg/kg/day) intragastrically for 4 weeks after surgery. Echocardiography and immunohistochemical examination were used to evaluate the effects of SMYAD. The mRNA of collagen metabolism biomarkers were detected. Protein expression of TGF-β1/Smad and TGF-β1/TAK1/p38 pathway were assessed by Western blot.
    Results: SMYAD significantly improved cardiac function, increased left ventricle ejection fraction, and decreased fibrosis area and αSMA expression. Moreover, SMYAD reduced proteins expression related to collagen metabolism, including Col1, Col3, TIMP2 and CTGF. The increased levels of TGF-β1, Smad2, and Smad3 phosphorylation were attenuated in SMYAD group. In addition, SMYAD reduced the levels of TGF-β1, p-TAK1 and p-p38 compared with TAC group.
    Conclusions: SMYAD improved cardiac fibrosis and heart failure by inhibition of TGF-β1/Smad and TGF-β1/TAK1/p38 pathway. SMYAD protected against cardiac fibrosis and maintained collagen metabolism balance by regulating MMP-TIMP expression. Taken together, these results indicate that SMYAD might be a promising therapeutic agent against cardiac fibrosis.
