    Abstract Sepsis is a serious life-threatening health disorder with high morbidity and mortality rates that burden the world, but there is still a lack of more effective and reliable drug treatment. Liang-Ge-San (LGS) has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and is a promising candidate for the treatment of sepsis. However, the anti-sepsis mechanism of LGS has still not been elucidated. In this study, a set of genes related to inflammatory chemotaxis pathways was downloaded from Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and integrated with sepsis patient information from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to perform differential gene expression analysis. Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) was found to be the feature gene after these important genes were examined using the three algorithms Random Forest, support vector machine recursive feature elimination (SVM-REF), and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and then intersected with possible treatment targets of LGS found through the search. Upon evaluation, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of GSK-3β indicated an important role in the pathogenesis of sepsis. Immune cell infiltration analysis suggested that GSK-3β expression was associated with a variety of immune cells, including neutrophils and monocytes. Next, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced zebrafish inflammation model and macrophage inflammation model was used to validate the mechanism of LGS. We found that LGS could protect zebrafish against a lethal challenge with LPS by down-regulating GSK-3β mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner, as indicated by a decreased neutrophils infiltration and reduction of inflammatory damage. The upregulated mRNA expression of GSK-3β in LPS-induced stimulated RAW 264.7 cells also showed the same tendency of depression by LGS. Critically, LGS could induce M1 macrophage polarization to M2 through promoting GSK-3β inactivation of phosphorylation. Taken together, we initially showed that anti-septic effects of LGS is related to the ...

    Abstract Poplar, as a typical woody plant, is an ideal raw material for the production of lignocellulose biofuel. However, the longer life cycle is not conducive to the rapid identification of poplar genes. At present, protoplasts have been used for gene function identification and high-throughput analysis in many model plants. In this paper, a simplified and efficient protoplast isolation and transient expression system of Populus (Populus × xiaohei T. S. Hwang et Liang) is described. Firstly, we proposed an efficient enzyme hydrolysis method for isolating protoplasts from leaves of Populus × xiaohei. Secondly, we optimized the conditions of protoplast transformation mediated by PEG, and established an efficient transient expression system of protoplasts of Populus × xiaohei. Finally, the subcellular localization of three identified Dof transcription factors (PnDof19, PnDof20 and PnDof30) was also observed in the nucleus by using this scheme, which proved that the method was feasible. In general, this efficient method of protoplast isolation and transformation can be used for the study of protein subcellular localization and can be applied to other fields of molecular biology, such as protein interaction, gene activation and so on.

    Abstract Background: Dengue virus (DENV) is a major public health threat. However, there are no specific therapeutic drugs for DENV. Many Chinese heat-cleaning formulas, such as Liang-Ge-San (LGS), have been frequently used in the virus-induced diseases. The antiviral effect of LGS has not been reported yet.
    Purpose: In this study, the effect of LGS on the inhibition of dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2) was investigated and the relevant mechanism was explored.
    Methods: High-performance liquid chromatography was applied to analyze the chemical characterization of LGS. The in vitro antiviral activities of LGS against DENV-2 were evaluated by time-of-drug-addition assay. The binding of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) and envelope (E) protein or caveolin1 (Cav1) were analyzed by immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation assays. Then the role of Cav1 in the anti-DENV-2 effects of LGS was further examined. DENV-2 infected Institute of Cancer Research suckling mice (n = 10) and AG129 mice (n = 8) were used to examine the protective effects of LGS.
    Results: It was found that geniposide, liquiritin, forsythenside A, forsythin, baicalin, baicalein, rhein, and emodin maybe the characteristic components of LGS. LGS inhibited the early stage of DENV-2 infection, decreased the expression levels of viral E and non-structural protein 1 (NS1) proteins. LGS also reduced E protein and Hsp70 binding and attenuated the translocation of Hsp70 from cytoplasm to the cell membrane. Moreover, LGS decreased the binding of Hsp70 to Cav1. Further study showed that the overexpression of Cav1 reversed LGS-mediated E protein and Hsp70 inhibition in the plasma membrane. In the in vivo study, LGS was highly effective in prolonging the survival time, reducing viral loads.
    Conclusion: This work demonstrates for the first time that LGS exerts anti-DENV-2 activity in vitro and in vivo. LGS decreases DENV-2-stimulated cytoplasmic Hsp70 translocation into the plasma membrane by Cav1 inhibition, thereby inhibiting the early stage of virus infection. These findings indicate that LGS may be a candidate for the treatment of DENV.

    Abstract Background: Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is one of the commonest proctologic condition in the general population. Medical therapy for HD has not been formally confirmed due to the inconsistent of results. Liang-Xue-Di-Huang Decoction, a kind of ancient Chinese classical prescription, has been used to treat HD from the 19th century in China. However, clinical research of Liang-Xue-Di-Huang Decoction in the treatment of HD was lack. We designed this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Liang-Xue-Di-Huang Decoction in the treatment of HD.
    Methods/design: A randomized, controlled, double blind, double-mimetic agent, and multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Liang-Xue-Di-Huang Decoction is proposed. HD patients (stage I, II, III) will be randomly assigned into experimental group or control group. HD patients will receive a 7-day treatments and a 7-day follow-up. The primary outcome measure is the Hemorrhoid Bleeding Score in 7 and 14 days. The Secondary outcome measures are Goligher prolapse score and quality-of-life score in 7 and 14 days.
    Discussion: This study will provide objective evidences to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Liang-Xue-Di-Huang Decoction in treatment of HD.

    Abstract Myostatin (MSTN), a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily, is a negative regulator of muscle growth and development. Disruption of the MSTN gene in various mammalian species markedly promotes muscle growth. Previous studies have mainly focused on the disruption of the MSTN peptide coding region in pigs but not on the modification of the signal peptide region. In this study, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR associated protein 9 (Cas9) system was used to successfully introduce two mutations (PVD20H and GP19del) in the MSTN signal peptide region of the indigenous Chinese pig breed, Liang Guang Small Spotted pig. Both mutations in signal peptide increased the muscle mass without inhibiting the production of mature MSTN peptide in the cells. Histological analysis revealed that the enhanced muscle mass in MSTN

    Abstract Objective. Kawasaki disease (KD) is a multisystemic autoimmune vasculitis. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the first-line treatment for KD. It is unclear whether traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has an effect on KD. We aimed to observe the clinical efficacy of TCM on acute KD via serum interleukin-33 (IL-33) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) measurements. Methods. Thirty-one KD patients were treated with Qing Re Liang Xue decoction and Western medicine (integrative medicine treatment group), while 28 KD patients were treated with Western medicine only (Western medicine treatment group). Thirty patients were included in a febrile group and 28 healthy children were included in the control group. Clinical characteristics and laboratory findings were gathered and compared. Serum IL-33 and TNF-α levels were measured by multiplex Luminex assay. Results. The platelet count in the integrative medicine treatment group was significantly lower than that in the Western medicine treatment group. The integrative medicine group had a shorter fever duration and lower IL-33 and TNF-α levels than those in the Western medicine group, but there were no significant differences between the two KD groups after treatment. Conclusion. Qing Re Liang Xue decoction improved the hypercoagulable state of KD patients. Potential myocardial protective effects require further research.
