    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Huang-Lian-Jie-Du decoction (HLJD), a traditional Chinese medicine prescription, has been implicated as effective in treating colitis, depression and inflammation-related diseases. Whether HLJD decoction could ameliorate colitis-induced depression was still unknown and the underlying mechanism was needed to be clarified.
    Aim of the study: Our study aimed to explore the effect and the underlying mechanism of HLJD treatment on colitis-induced depression and the involvement of the inflammatory factors and microglial-activated related genes.
    Materials and methods: The chronic colitis model was established by treating male mice with 1% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) for 8 weeks. One week after DSS-treated, HLJD decoction was administered orally with 2 and 4 g/kg daily for 7 weeks. Behavior tests (Open field/Elevated plus maze/Novel object recognition) and TUNEL staining were then assessed. The expression of inflammatory-related genes and microglial dysregulation were measured by RT-PCR and the expression of Trem2, Danp12 and Iba1 were assessed by immunofluorescence methods.
    Results: Depressive-like behaviors were observed in mice treated with DSS, which suffered colitis. Compared to normal control (NC-V) mice, the density of TUNEL + cells in the habenula (Hb), hippocampus (HIP), and cortex were significantly higher in colitis (DSS-V) mice, especially in Hb. Compared to NC-V and several brain regions, the expression levels of the Il-1β, Il-10 and Dap12 mRNA were significantly increased in the lateral habenula (LHb) of colitis mice. Moreover, the expression of Trem2, Dap12 and Iba1 were increased in LHb of DSS-V mice. HLJD treatment could alleviate depressive-like behaviors, reduce the density of TUNEL + cells in Hb and the expression of Il-6, Il-10 and Dap12 mRNA in LHb of DSS-V mice. The overexpression of Trem2, Dap12 and Iba1 in LHb of DSS-V mice were reversed after HLJD treatment.
    Conclusion: These results reveal LHb is an important brain region during the process of colitis-induced depression. HLJD treatment could alleviates depressive-like behaviors in colitis mice via inhibiting the Trem2/Dap12 pathway in microglia of LHb, which would contribute to the precise treatment. It provides a potential mechanistic explanation for the effectiveness of HLJD treatment in colitis patients with depression.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Herbal formulas from Traditional Chinese Medicine are common and well-established practice for treating acute pancreatitis (AP) patients. However, little is known about their bioactive ingredients and mechanisms, such as their targets and pathways to inhibit inflammation.
    Aim of the study: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Qing Xia Jie Yi Formula (QXJYF) granules on AP and discuss the molecular mechanisms involved.
    Materials and methods: Major compounds in QXJYF granules were identified using UPLC-quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Orbitrap MS). The effect of QXJYF granules on experimental AP models both in vitro and in vivo, and detailed mechanisms were clarified. Two AP models were induced in mice by intraperitoneally injections of caerulein or L-arginine, and QXJYF granules were used to treat AP mice in vivo. Histological evaluation of pancreas and lung, serum amylase and lipase levels, serum inflammatory cytokines, inflammatory cell infiltration and macrophage phenotype were assessed. Bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) were cultured and treated with QXJYF granules in vitro. BMDM phenotype and glycolysis levels were measured. Lastly, clinical effect of QXJYF granules on AP patients was verified. Predicted severe AP (pSAP) patients eligible for inclusion were assessed for enrollment.
    Results: Nine major compounds were identified in QXJYF granules. Data showed that QXJYF granules significantly alleviated AP severity both in caerulein and L-arginine-induced AP models in vivo, pancreatic injury and inflammatory cell infiltration, systematic inflammation, lung injury and inflammatory cell infiltration were all improved after QXJYF treatment. QXJYF granules significantly reduced M1 macrophages during AP both in vivo and in vitro; besides, the mRNA expression levels of M1 genes such as inos, Tnfα, Il1β and Il6 were significantly lower after QXJYF treatment in M1 macrophages. Mechanistically, we found that HK2, PFKFB3, PKM, LDHα levels were increased in M1 macrophages, but significantly decreased after QXJYF treatment. Clinical data indicated that QXJYF granules could significantly reduce CRP levels and shorten the duration of organ failure, thereby reducing the incidence of SAP and preventing pSAP patients from progressing to SAP.
    Conclusion: QXJYF granules alleviated AP through the inhibition of M1 macrophage polarization by suppressing glycolysis.

    Abstract Background: The clinical application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is limited by their drug resistance, necessitating the development of ICI sensitizers to improve cancer immunotherapy outcomes. Huang Lian Jie Du Decoction (HLJD, Oren-gedoku-to in Japanese, Hwangryunhaedok-tang in Korean), a famous traditional Chinese medicinal prescription, has exhibited potential in the field of cancer treatment. This study aims to investigate the impact of HLJD on the efficacy of ICIs in melanoma and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
    Methods: The potential synergistic effects of HLJD and ICIs were investigated on the tumor-bearing mice model of B16F10 melanoma, and the tumor infiltration of immune cells was tested by flow cytometry. The differential gene expression in tumors between HLJD and ICIs group and ICIs alone group were analyzed by RNA-seq. The effects of HLJD on oxidative stress, TLR7/8, and type I interferons (IFN-Is) signaling were further validated by immunofluorescence, PCR array, and immunochemistry in tumor tissue.
    Results: HLJD enhanced the anti-tumor effect of ICIs, significantly inhibited tumor growth, and prolonged the survival duration in melanoma. HLJD increased the tumor infiltration of anti-tumor immune cells, especially DCs, CD4
    Conclusions: HLJD enhanced the therapeutic benefits of ICIs in melanoma, through increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS), promoting the TLR7/8 pathway, and activating IFN-Is signaling, which in turn activated DCs and T cells.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Xue-Jie-San (XJS), as a traditional Chinese herb prescription, has satisfactory effects on improving clinical symptoms and facilitating the healing of intestinal ulcers in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). This motivates the application of XJS on CD-associated complications.
    Aim of the study: Intestinal fibrosis is a debilitating complication of CD. Currently, there is no effective medication available for preventing or reversing CD-related intestinal fibrosis. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of XJS in the treatment of colitis-associated intestinal fibrosis.
    Materials and methods: A rat model of CD-related intestinal fibrosis was induced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid administration and treated with XJS. The pathological changes of intestinal fibrosis were evaluated using Masson staining. Collagen deposition and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were verified by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot analysis. Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) was assessed with immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical staining as well as Western blot analysis. Transmission electron microscopy was utilized to observe autophagosomes. The levels of autophagy-related proteins were detected via immunofluorescence staining and Western blot. Finally, the mTOR/ULK1 signaling pathway regulated by Notch1 or FGL1 was analyzed by Western blot.
    Results: The results found that XJS ameliorated intestinal fibrosis through reducing the deposition of collagens such as Collagen 1 and Collagen 3. XJS inhibited the EMT process by increasing E-cadherin levels and decreasing the expressions of N-cadherin, Vimentin and Snail, which played a crucial role in collagen secretion and intestinal fibrosis. In addition, XJS also repressed the EndoMT process as reflected by the upregulation of CD31 and VE-cadherin levels and the downregulation of FSP1 and α-SMA expressions. Autophagy was activated following XJS treatment via suppression of the mTOR/ULK1 signaling pathway. Furthermore, XJS acted as an inhibitor of Notch1 and FGL1 signals, both of which regulated the mTOR signaling.
    Conclusions: Our findings validated that XJS prevented the early development of CD-related intestinal fibrosis by blocking the Notch1 and FGL1 signaling pathways to activate autophagy and thereby inhibit EMT and EndoMT.

    Abstract Crohn's disease (CD) is an incurable inflammatory bowel disease due to unclear etiology and pathogenesis. Accumulating evidences have shown the harmful role of ferroptosis in CD onset and development. Additionally, fibrinogen-like protein 1 (FGL1) has been verified to be a potential therapeutic target of CD. Xue-Jie-San (XJS) is an effective prescription for treating CD. However, its therapeutic mechanism has not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to determine whether XJS alleviating CD via regulating ferroptosis and FGL1 expression. A colitis rat model was induced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid and treated with XJS. The disease activity indices of the colitis rats were scored. Histopathological damage was assessed using HE staining. ELISA was performed to examine inflammatory cytokines. Transmission electron microscopy was utilized to observe ultrastructure changes in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Iron load was evaluated by examining iron concentrations, the expressions of FPN, FTH and FTL. Lipid peroxidation was investigated through detecting the levels of ROS, 4-HNE, MDA and PTGS2. Furthermore, the SLC7A11/GSH/GPX4 antioxidant system and FGL1/NF-κB/STAT3 signaling pathway were examined. The results showed that colitis was dramatically ameliorated in the XJS-treated rats as evidenced by relief of clinical symptoms and histopathological damages, downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-17 and TNF-α, and upregulation of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. Furthermore, XJS administration led to ferroptosis inhibition in IECs by reducing iron overload and lipid peroxidation. Mechanistically, XJS enhanced the SLC7A11/GSH/GPX4 antioxidant system negatively regulated by the FGL1/NF-κB/STAT3 positive feedback loop. In conclusion, XJS might restrain ferroptosis in IECs to ameliorate experimental colitis by inhibition of FGL1/NF-κB/STAT3 positive feedback loop.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Ischemic stroke poses a serious risk to public health and quality of life. Jie-Du-Huo-Xue decoction (JDHXD) is a classical and well-known Chinese formula for stroke treatment, but the pharmacological mechanism is still unclear.
    Aim of the study: This study aims to investigate the mechanism underlying microglial pyroptosis and polarization, as well as the potential efficacy of JDHXD against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI).
    Materials and methods: Models of CIRI were established by the middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) method in rats. In the first stage, 36 SD rats were randomly divided into sham group, I/R group, JDHXD-L group (5.36 g/kg/day), JDHXD-M group (10.71 g/kg/day), JDHXD-H group (21.42 g/kg/day), and positive drug edaravone group. The effectiveness of JDHXD on CIRI was confirmed by neurological function testing and cerebral infarct measuring. The best dose (JDXHD-M) was subsequently chosen to perform the tests that followed. In the second stage, 36 SD rats were randomly divided into the sham group, the I/R group, and the JDHXD-M group. Detection of nerve damage using Nissl staining, proteins of pyroptosis, Iba-1, and NeuN expressions were detected by western blotting, and proteins of microglial pyroptosis and M1/M2 phenotypic polarization were detected by immunofluorescence.
    Results: In rats after CIRI, JDHXD significantly reduced neurological impairment and cerebral infarction. In addition, JDHXD facilitated the M1-to-M2 transition of microglia in order to minimize neuroinflammation and improve anti-inflammatory repair. In addition, JDXHD inhibited microglial pyroptosis by blocking the cleavage of caspase-1 P10 and gasdermin D, hence reducing neuronal damage and enhancing neuronal survival following reperfusion. Interestingly, JDHXD also demonstrated a protective effect on the glial-vascular unit (GVU).
    Conclusions: Our investigation demonstrated that JDHXD exerted a GVU-protective effect on CIRI rats by decreasing neuroinflammation-associated microglial pyroptosis, suppressing microglial M1 activation, and promoting microglial M2 activation.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Xiao-Ai Jie-Du decoction (XAJDD) has been used in clinical practice to treat diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL); its prescriptions vary based on the pathogenesis of patients.
    Aim of the study: We aimed to determine the core formula of XAJDD and investigate its mechanism of action against DLBCL.
    Materials and methods: Apriori data mining of 187 clinical cases (including 421 Traditional Chinese Medicines, TCMs) was conducted to retrieve the core formula of XAJDD. Comprehensive in silico modeling was used to identify potential active components and corresponding targets. The potential targets of 16 compounds were identified based on network pharmacology using in silico modeling. Thereafter, experimental determination of the active compounds and their mechanism of action in treating DLBCL was performed using different assays (including CCK-8, Annexin V-FITC/PI double-staining, Western blot, and flow cytometry assays).
    Results: The core formula of XAJDD included six herbs: Astragalus mongholicus Bunge (Huangqi, family: Fabaceae), Scutellaria barbata D. Don (Banzhilian, family: Lamiaceae), Prunella vulgaris L. (Xiakucao, family: Lamiaceae), Smilax glabra Roxb. (Tufuling, family Smilacaceae) and Fritillaria thunbergii Miq. (Dabei, family: Liliaceae), and Curcuma zanthorrhiza Roxb. (Ezhu, family: Zingiberaceae); Databases including 62 druggable compounds and 38 DLBCL-related structural targets were constructed; ∼0.3 million data points produced by computational modeling based on potential compounds and targets six components from XAJDD, including astibin, folic acid, baicalin, kaempferol, quercetin, and luteolin, significantly inhibited DLBCL cell proliferation, induced apoptosis, and suppressed the expression of key oncogenes.
    Conclusion: This study provides an integrated strategy for determining the core formula of XAJDD and reveals the molecular mechanisms underlying the treatment of DLBCL, which were consistent with the principle of "monarch (Jun), minister (Chen), adjunctive (Zuo), and guide (Shi)", confirming that XAJDD may serve as a promising natural therapeutic agent against DLBCL.

    Abstract: ... on the neuroprotective effects of Huanglian Jie Du decoction (HLJDD), an ancient and classical Chinese herbal formula ...

    Abstract Ischemic stroke is a major cause of mortality and neurological morbidity worldwide. The underlying pathophysiology of ischemic stroke is highly complicated and correlates with various pathological processes, including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress injury, altered cell apoptosis and autophagy, excitotoxicity, and acidosis. The current treatment for ischemic stroke is limited to thrombolytic therapy such as recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. However, tissue plasminogen activator is limited by a very narrow therapeutic time window (<4.5 hours), selective efficacy, and hemorrhagic complication. Hence, the development of novel therapies to prevent ischemic damage to the brain is urgent. Chinese herbal medicine has a long history in treating stroke and its sequela. In the past decades, extensive studies have focused on the neuroprotective effects of Huanglian Jie Du decoction (HLJDD), an ancient and classical Chinese herbal formula that can treat a wide spectrum of disorders including ischemic stroke. In this review, the current evidence of HLJDD and its bioactive components for ischemic stroke is comprehensively reviewed, and their potential application directions in ischemic stroke management are discussed.

    Abstract Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is becoming a global disease. A percentage of IBD patients will not react to therapy or will lose their response. Qu-Yu-Jie-Du Decoction (QYJD) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula commonly used for intestinal diseases. It has been reported that QYJD has an anti-inflammatory effect, but the mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, we mainly evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of QYJD and explored the possible mechanisms.
    Methods: Twenty-four BALB/
    Results: QYJD alleviated the weight loss and colitis symptoms of mice caused by DSS. QYJD fought against the shortening of the intestine caused by DSS; that is, it improved the decline of intestinal compliance in mice and had a protective effect on colon tissues. The mechanisms were related to downregulating macrophages and neutrophils in colon tissues of infiltration. Besides, QYJD simultaneously reduced the activity of myeloperoxidase activity (MPO) and the contents of IL-1
    Conclusions: QYJD can ameliorate DSS-induced colitis in mice and the mechanism is connected with a reduction in neutrophil and macrophage infiltration.
