    Abstract The vascular structure and function are potentially useful biomarkers for tumor detection. Treatment with chemotherapeutic agents may impair vascular function and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to use noninvasive pulse waveform measurements to identify differences in the frequency-domain indices of the pulse waveform in breast-cancer patients following anthracycline chemotherapy between with (Group KSY) and without (Group NKSY) receiving Kuan-Sin-Yin (KSY) treatment.Radial blood pressure waveform (BPW) signals were measured noninvasively for 3 minutes in 31 patients, and the FACT-G, BFI-T, and EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaires were administered. The following pulse indices were calculated for 10 harmonics: the amplitude proportion and its coefficient of variation, and the phase angle and its standard deviation.The changes in spectral BPW indices were more prominent in Group NKSY than in Group KSY, especially for the decreases in BPW variability indices. Scores on the FACT-G, BFI-T, and EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaires suggested that the quality of life following chemotherapy was better in Group KSY.The identified decreases in pulse variability indices could be related to the greater impairment of regulatory activities in Group NKSY. The present findings may be meaningful in developing techniques with advantages such as being noninvasive and time-saving to evaluate the blood supply and physiological conditions following chemotherapy or other treatment strategies in cancer patients.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Kuan-Sin-Yin (KSY) is a traditional Chinese medical decoction, designed based on the classic Si-Jun-Zi-Tang decoction and used clinically to improve the synergic effects of energy promotion, liver function and cancer related symptom and quality of life. However, the anti-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) function of KSY is unclear.
    Aim of the study: This study aimed to investigate the anti-mobility activity of KSY on HCC cells and elucidate its molecular mechanism.
    Materials and methods: Two malignancy hepatocellular carcinoma cells, Mahlavu and SK-Hep-1, were used for the test of cell proliferation via alarm blue assay. The wound healing and Transwell assays were used to determine the anti-mobility activity of KSY in HCC cells. Cell morphology was analyzed via confocal microscopy. The genomic profile of KSY-treated HCC cells was analyzed by microarray. The potential signaling pathways and bio-functions of KSY-mediated genes were analyzed by ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA). Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the messenger RNA (mRNA) level of indicated gene.
    Results: KSY did not affect cell viability of HCC cells but significantly inhibited cell migration and invasion in those HCC Mahlavu and SK-Hep-1 cells. In parallel, KSY induced changes in morphology of HCC cells via re-modulating actin cytoskeleton. KSY upregulated 1270 genes but reduced 1534 genes in Mahlavu cells. KSY regulated various gene networks which controlled cell migration, invasion and movement. Specifically, KSY reduced expression of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), which is correlated to cell mobility, and concomitantly downregulated mRNA levels of phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 3 (PIK3R3) and CEA cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1).
    Conclusion: These findings indicated that regulation of CCL2-mediated PIK3R3 and CEACAM1 may be involved in KSY inhibited cell mobility. Moreover, KSY may be a potential a Chinese decoction for reducing cell mobility.

    Abstract A water-soluble polysaccharide (PSRC) was extracted and purified from the roots of Radix Cyathulae officinalis Kuan, and its chemical characteristics, monosaccharide composition and antioxidant activities were characterized. The average of molecular weight (Mw) of PSRC was 182 kDa. The majority of monosaccharide components of PSRC was glucose (relative mass 48.8%) with lower levels of mannose, rhamnose, galactose, fructose and arabinose (relative mass of 15.7, 14.3, 10.6, 6.1 and 4.5%, respectively). In vitro assays revealed that RSRC possessed potent scavenging activities against DPPH, hydroxyl and superoxide anion radicals. Oral administration of PSRC significantly enhanced antioxidant enzyme activities (including total superoxide dismutase, copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD), manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD), glutathione peroxidase and catalase (CAT)) and capacities of scavenging superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals, markedly lowered lipid peroxidation formation of malondialdehyde and significantly up-regulated mRNA expressions of Cu,Zn-SOD, Mn-SOD, CAT, glutathione peroxidase 1, thioredoxin 1 and thioredoxin 2, in a d-galactose-induced aging mouse model. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that PSRC could be used as a novel promising source of natural antioxidants and antiaging drugs.

    Abstract This study was designed to investigate the effects of oral administration of the polysaccharide from the Radix Cyathulae officinalis Kuan (RCPS) for its adjuvant potential on the specific cellular and humoral immune responses in mice. In this study, our data demonstrated that oral administration of RCPS significantly enhanced the phagocytic capacity of peritoneal macrophage, splenocyte proliferation, the activity of natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and OVA-specific IgG, IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b antibody titers. Furthermore, RCPS promoted the level of interleukin-2(IL-2), IFN-γ and IL-4 in CD4(+)T cells and level of IFN-γ in CD8(+)T cells. In addition, RCPS enhanced the expression of CD40(+), CD80(+) and CD86(+) on the dendritic cells (DCs). Importantly, RCPS down-regulated the frequency of CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+)Treg cells. Taken together, these results suggested that RCPS could increase both cellular and humoral immune responses via up-regulating DCs maturation, and suppressing Treg frequency.

    Abstract Background: Complementary therapies are widely used among cancer patients. Kuan-Sin-Yin (KSY) decoction, a popular qi-promoting herbal medicine, was constituted with several herbs known to exhibit immunomodulating or anticancer activity. After combining these herbs as a compound formula, it is necessary to reassess the immunomodulation effects, the effects on tumor growth, and possible toxicity of KSY.
    Methods: The anti-cancer effects of KSY in vivo were determined by measuring the tumor volumes, anticancer-associated cytokines (IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-2, and IL-12), accumulation of tumor infiltrating leukocytes (TILs), proliferation and apoptosis-related molecular markers (Ki-67, p53, p21, activated caspase 3, and cleaved PARP), and an in situ TUNEL assay. The body weight and serum chemistry of treated mice were also assessed. In vitro, the effects of KSY were evaluated using MTT assay, BrdU incorporation assay and cell growth curve.
    Results: In vivo, KSY suppressed bladder or lung cancer growth but did not promote the production of cytokines nor increase the accumulation of TILs. The expression of p53 and p21 in KSY-treated mice were increased. The numbers of apoptotic tumor cells and the expression of apoptosis marker proteins (Caspase 3 and cleaved PARP) were not significantly elevated after KSY treatment. In vitro, the viability and proliferation of tumor cells, but not normal cells, were suppressed by KSY treatment. No significant toxicity was found in KSY-treated mice.
    Conclusions: KSY suppressed the tumor growth in vivo and in vitro, which resulted from its cytostatic effects on cancer cells, rather than the induction of anti-cancer immunity. Under these experimental conditions, no apparent toxicity was observed.

    Abstract Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a kind of the important animal infectious disease caused by the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of the polysaccharide from the Radix Cyathulae officinalis Kuan (RCPS) for its adjuvant potential on the FMDV-specific cellular and humoral immune responses in mice. In this study, our findings shows that oral administration of RCPS significantly enhanced the phagocytic capacity of peritoneal macrophage, splenocyte proliferation, the activity of natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and IgG, IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b antibody titers. Furthermore, RCPS promoted the level of IL-2, IFN-γ and IL-4 in CD4(+)T cells and level of IFN-γ in CD8(+)T cells. In addition, RCPS enhanced the expression of CD40(+), CD80(+) and CD86(+) on DCs. Importantly, RCPS could up-regulated the mRNA level of MHC I, MHC II, TLR-2, TLR-4. Interestingly, RCPS down-regulated the frequency of CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+)Treg cells. Taken together, these results demonstrate that RCPS can enhance both cellular and humoral immune responses via up-regulating DCs maturation through TLR2, TLR4 signaling pathway, and suppressing Treg frequency.
