    Abstract Yi-Fei-Jie-Du-Tang (YFJDT) is a traditional Chinese medicine formulation. Our previous studies have demonstrated that YFJDT can be used to treat non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but its protective effect against NSCLC and its mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, we evaluated the protective effects and potential mechanisms of YFJDT on a tumor-bearing mouse lung cancer model and A549 cell model. Tumor-bearing mice and A549 cells were treated with YFJDT, tumors were measured during the experiment, and tumor tissues and cell supernatants were collected at the end of the experiment to assess the levels of autophagy and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins. The results showed that YFJDT treatment reduced tumor volume and mass, increased the expression of the autophagy marker LC3, and inhibited EMT-related proteins compared with the model group. Cell survival was reduced in the YFJDT-treated groups compared with the model group, and YFJDT also reduced the migration and invasion ability of A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Western blotting detected that YFJDT also upregulated FAT4 in the tumor tissue and A549 cells and downregulated the expression of vimentin. Meanwhile, apoptosis in both tissues and cells was greatly increased with treatment of YFJDT. We further interfered with FAT4 expression in cells and found that the inhibitory effect of YFJDT on EMT was reversed, indicating that YFJDT affects EMT by regulating FAT4 expression. Taken together, results of this study suggested that the inhibitory effect of YFJDT on EMT in lung cancer tumors is through upregulating FAT4, promoting autophagy, and thus inhibiting EMT in cancer cells.

    Abstract: ... Fei-Pai-Du decoction (QFPDD), a Chinese herbal formula, is widely used in China to treat COVID-19 ...

    Abstract COVID-19 has posed unprecedented challenges to global public health since its outbreak. The Qing-Fei-Pai-Du decoction (QFPDD), a Chinese herbal formula, is widely used in China to treat COVID-19. It exerts an impressive therapeutic effect by inhibiting the progression from mild to critical disease in the clinic. However, the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. Both SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses elicit similar pathological processes. Their severe manifestations, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), multiple organ failure (MOF), and viral sepsis, are correlated with the cytokine storm. During flu infection, QFPDD reduced the lung indexes and downregulated the expressions of MCP-1, TNF-[Formula: see text], IL-6, and IL-1[Formula: see text] in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF), lungs, or serum samples. The infiltration of neutrophils and inflammatory monocytes in lungs was decreased dramatically, and lung injury was ameliorated in QFPDD-treated flu mice. In addition, QFPDD also inhibited the polarization of M1 macrophages and downregulated the expressions of IL-6, TNF-[Formula: see text], MIP-2, MCP-1, and IP-10, while also upregulating the IL-10 expression. The phosphorylated TAK1, IKK[Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text], and I[Formula: see text]B[Formula: see text] and the subsequent translocation of phosphorylated p65 into the nuclei were decreased by QFPDD. These findings indicated that QFPDD reduces the intensity of the cytokine storm by inhibiting the NF-[Formula: see text]B signaling pathway during severe viral infections, thereby providing theoretical and experimental support for its clinical application in respiratory viral infections.

    Abstract: ... known as Qing Fei Pai Du Decoction, has been demonstrated effective against Coronavirus Disease 2019 ...

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history in the prevention and treatment of pandemics. The TCM formula Lung Cleansing and Detoxifying Decoction (LCDD), also known as Qing Fei Pai Du Decoction, has been demonstrated effective against Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
    Aim of the study: This work aimed to elucidate the active ingredients, targets and pathway mechanism of LCDD related to suppression of inflammatory, immunity regulation and relaxation of airway smooth muscle for the treatment of COVID-19.
    Materials and methods: Mining chemical ingredients reported in LCDD, 144 compounds covering all herbs were selected and screened against inflammatory-, immunity- and respiratory-related GPCRs including GPR35, H1, CB2, B2, M3 and β2-adrenoceptor receptor using a label-free integrative pharmacology method. Further, all active compounds were detected using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and an herb-compound-target network based on potency and content of compounds was constructed to elucidate the multi-target and synergistic effect.
    Results: Thirteen compounds were identified as GPR35 agonists, including licochalcone B, isoliquiritigenin, etc. Licochalcone B, isoliquiritigenin and alisol A exhibited bradykinin receptor B2 antagonism activities. Atractyline and shogaol showed as a cannabinoid receptor CB2 agonist and a histamine receptor H1 antagonist, respectively. Tectorigenin and aristofone acted as muscarinic receptor M3 antagonists, while synephrine, ephedrine and pseudoephedrine were β2-adrenoceptor agonists. Pathway deconvolution assays suggested activation of GPR35 triggered PI3K, MEK, JNK pathways and EGFR transactivation, and the activation of β2-adrenoceptor mediated MEK and Ca
    Conclusions: This study elucidates the active ingredients, targets and pathways of LCDD. This is useful for elucidating multitarget synergistic action for its clinical therapeutic efficacy.

    Abstract Exosomes display efficient biocompatibility and represent valuable vehicles for drug or effective material delivery in a tumour-therapeutic approach. Following treatment with Fei-Liu-Ping (FLP) ointment, a traditional Chinese herbal formula, which is used for treating lung cancer patients, could inhibit lung carcinoma growth in clinical and animal studies. In the present study, the values of VEGF and PDGF, which were closely related to angiogenesis, were estimated in serum and carcinoma tissue exosomes to unveil the FLP effects on angiogenesis. The common inflammatory factors of IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and TGF-β in serum exosomes were also detected with the Lewis xenograft model. Methods. Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups, namely, normal, model, cyclophosphamide (CTX), and FLP treatment groups. Histological structures were observed and imaged by H&E. CD31 expressions in tumour tissues were detected by immunofluorescence (IF) and western blot (WB). VEGF, PDGF, and PDGFR levels in exosomes, serum, tumour, and lung tissues were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and WB, respectively. IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, and TGF-β levels in exosomes were measured by multiplex immunoassay panels. Results. The results showed that FLP had tumour growth inhibition rate (39.31%). CD31 protein expression was obviously decreased in tumour tissues of CTX- and FLP-treated MO mice, compared to that of MO mice (P<0.05 or P<0.001). VEGF, PDGF, and PDGFR expression levels with FLP treatment were downregulated in exosomes, serum, tumour, and lung tissues compared to model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The expressions of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α were downregulated in exosomes compared to the model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusions. This study suggested that FLP had the ability of inhibiting tumourigenesis in a Lewis lung xenograft mouse model, whose therapeutic mechanisms might relate with the downregulation of angiogenesis factor and tumour inflammatory ...

    Abstract Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history in the prevention and treatment of pandemics. The TCM formula Lung Cleansing and Detoxifying Decoction (LCDD), also known as Qing Fei Pai Du Decoction, has been demonstrated effective against Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).This work aimed to elucidate the active ingredients, targets and pathway mechanism of LCDD related to suppression of inflammatory, immunity regulation and relaxation of airway smooth muscle for the treatment of COVID-19.Mining chemical ingredients reported in LCDD, 144 compounds covering all herbs were selected and screened against inflammatory-, immunity- and respiratory-related GPCRs including GPR35, H1, CB2, B2, M3 and β2-adrenoceptor receptor using a label-free integrative pharmacology method. Further, all active compounds were detected using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and an herb-compound-target network based on potency and content of compounds was constructed to elucidate the multi-target and synergistic effect.Thirteen compounds were identified as GPR35 agonists, including licochalcone B, isoliquiritigenin, etc. Licochalcone B, isoliquiritigenin and alisol A exhibited bradykinin receptor B2 antagonism activities. Atractyline and shogaol showed as a cannabinoid receptor CB2 agonist and a histamine receptor H1 antagonist, respectively. Tectorigenin and aristofone acted as muscarinic receptor M3 antagonists, while synephrine, ephedrine and pseudoephedrine were β2-adrenoceptor agonists. Pathway deconvolution assays suggested activation of GPR35 triggered PI3K, MEK, JNK pathways and EGFR transactivation, and the activation of β2-adrenoceptor mediated MEK and Ca²⁺. The herb-compound-target network analysis found that some compounds such as licochalcone B acted on multiple targets, and multiple components interacted with the same target such as GPR35, reflecting the synergistic mechanism of Chinese medicine. At the same time, some low-abundance compounds displayed high target activity, meaning its important role in LCDD for anti-COVID-19.This study elucidates the active ingredients, targets and pathways of LCDD. This is useful for elucidating multitarget synergistic action for its clinical therapeutic efficacy.

    Abstract Background: Fei-Liu-Ping (FLP) ointment is an oral prescription medication that has been widely applied to treat lung cancer patients in China. Regulation of the metastatic microenvironment is an important therapeutic approach for prevention and treatment of tumor recurrence and metastasis. The advantage of Traditional Chinese Medicine management of lung cancer lies in the prevention of recurrence and metastasis. Our previous study has demonstrated that FLP ointment could regulate lung inflammatory microenvironment in vitro. However, the effects of FLP on the tumor microenvironment in vivo are still poorly understood. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of FLP alone or in combination with celecoxib in the prevention of lung cancer progression by Cyclooxygenase (Cox)-2 mediated tumor inflammatory microenvironment in vivo.
    Methods: 120 Lewis lung carcinoma xenograft mice were divided equally into four groups: vehicle, FLP, celecoxib, and FLP plus celecoxib. The dynamic growth of the xenografted tumors was observed using an in vivo fluorescence imaging system. Mice were sacrificed on day 14, day 21, and day 28, and tumor specimens and lung tissues were harvested to detect the metastasis-associated protein expression.
    Results: Tumor inhibition rate was 15.4, 44.2, 47.4 % at day 14, 37.3, 34.7, 61.5 % at day 21, and 15.5, 10.3, 32.5 % at day 28 after treatment of FLP, celecoxib, and FLP plus celecoxib, respectively. Upon treatment of FLP and celecoxib together, lung metastasis rate was 30 % (8 metastatic nodules) lower than other groups. FLP inhibited Cox-2 expression in a time-dependent manner. Moreover, FLP inhibited N-cadherin, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-9, and Vimentin expression. Treatment of FLP in combination with celecoxib was more effective than FLP or celecoxib alone in inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor receptors β, microsomal Prostaglandin E synthase-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, N-cadherin, and Vimentin expression, but increased E-cadherin expression.
    Conclusions: FLP inhibited tumor growth and metastasis in a Lewis lung xenograft mice model through the Cox-2 pathway. FLP in combination with celecoxib enhanced the antitumor growth and anti-metastasis effects. Traditional Chinese herbs combined with anti-inflammatory drugs might offer a promising strategy to prevent tumor metastasis.

    Abstract Objective: To study the in vitro antiviral effect of ribavirin combined with an oral preparation of traditional Chinese medicine "Hu Fei" (protecting the lung) on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
    Methods: Cytopathic effects (CEP) of RSV on Hep2 cells were observed after adding different concentrations of ribavirin, Hu Fei and combination of both into the culture medium.
    Results: The minimum concentration of ribavirin and Hu Fei for complete inhibition of CPE caused by RSV was 7.80 microg/ml and 5.00 mg/ml, respectively. When the combination of ribavirin and Hu Fei was applied, their minimum concentrations needed for complete inhibition were decreased to 0.98 ?g/ml and 0.63 mg/ml.
    Conclusions: Both ribavirin and Hu Fei showed in vitro anti-RSV effect, but the inhibitory effect of combined ribavirin and Hu Fei was more potent than either of the preparation alone.
