    Abstract An imbalance in PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway signaling in humans often leads to cancer. Therefore, the investigation of anti-cancer medications that inhibit PI3K and mTOR has emerged as a significant area of research. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of XIN-10, a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, on the growth as well as antiproliferation of tumor cells and to investigate the anti-tumor mechanism of XIN-10 by further exploration. We screened three cell lines for more in-depth exploration by MTT experiments. From the AO staining, cell cycle and apoptosis, we found that XIN-10 had a more obvious inhibitory effect on the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line and used this as a selection for more in-depth experiments. A series of in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that XIN-10 has superior antiproliferative activity compared with the positive drug GDC-0941. Meanwhile, through the results of protein blotting and PCR experiments, we concluded that XIN-10 can block the activation of the downstream pathway of mTOR by inhibiting the phosphorylation of AKT(S473) as well as having significant inhibitory effects on the gene exons of PI3K and mTOR. These results indicate that XIN-10 is a highly potent inhibitor with low toxicity and has a strong potential to be developed as a novel PI3Kα/mTOR dual inhibitor candidate for the treatment of positive breast cancer.

    Abstract Kai Xin San (KXS, containing ginseng, hoelen, polygala, and acorus), a traditional Chinese herbal compound, has been found to regulate cognitive dysfunction; however, its mechanism of action is still unclear. In this study, 72 specific-pathogen-free male Kunming mice aged 8 weeks were randomly divided into a vehicle control group, scopolamine group, low-dose KXS group, moderate-dose KXS group, high-dose KXS group, and positive control group. Except for the vehicle control group and scopolamine groups (which received physiological saline), the doses of KXS (0.7, 1.4 and 2.8 g/kg per day) and donepezil (3 mg/kg per day) were gastrointestinally administered once daily for 2 weeks. On day 8 after intragastric treatment, the behavioral tests were carried out. Scopolamine group and intervention groups received scopolamine 3 mg/kg per day through intraperitoneal injection. The effects of KXS on spatial learning and memory, pathological changes of brain tissue, expression of apoptosis factors, oxidative stress injury factors, synapse-associated protein, and cholinergic neurotransmitter were measured. The results confirmed the following. (1) KXS shortened the escape latency and increased residence time in the target quadrant and the number of platform crossings in the Morris water maze. (2) KXS increased the percentage of alternations between the labyrinth arms in the mice of KXS groups in the Y-maze. (3) Nissl and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling staining revealed that KXS promoted the production of Nissl bodies and inhibited the formation of apoptotic bodies. (4) Western blot assay showed that KXS up-regulated the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and inhibited the expression of pro-apoptotic protein Bax. KXS up-regulated the expression of postsynaptic density 95, synaptophysin, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. (5) KXS increased the level and activity of choline acetyltransferase, acetylcholine, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase, and reduced the level and activity of acetyl cholinesterase, reactive oxygen species, and malondialdehyde through acting on the cholinergic system and reducing oxidative stress damage. These results indicate that KXS plays a neuroprotective role and improves cognitive function through reducing apoptosis and oxidative stress, and regulating synapse-associated protein and cholinergic neurotransmitters.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Kai-Xin-San (KXS) is a classic herbal formula for the treatment and prevention of AD (Alzheimer's disease) with definite curative effect, but its mechanism, which involves multiple components, pathways, and targets, is not yet fully understood.
    Aim of the study: To verify the effect of KXS on gut microbiota and explore its anti-AD mechanism related with gut microbiota.
    Materials and methods: AD rat model was established and evaluated by intraperitoneal injection of D-gal and bilateral hippocampal CA1 injections of Aβ
    Results: KXS could significantly improve cognitive impairment, reduce neuronal damage and attenuate neuroinflammation and colonic inflammation in vivo in AD model rats. Nine differential intestinal bacteria associated with AD were screened, in which four bacteria (Lactobacillus murinus, Ligilactobacillus, Alloprevotella, Prevotellaceae_NK3B31_group) were very significant.
    Conclusion: KXS can maintain the ecological balance of intestinal microbiota and exert its anti-AD effect by regulating the composition and proportion of gut microbiota in AD rats through the microbiota-gut-brain axis.

    Abstract Limited studies are associated with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)-related osteoimmune disorder currently. Bu-Shen-Ning-Xin decoction (BSNXD) displayed a favorable role in treating postmenopausal osteoporosis. However, its impact on the POI-related osteoimmune disorder remains unclear. The study primarily utilized animal experiments and network pharmacology to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of BSNXD on the POI-related osteoimmune disorder. First, a 4-vinylcyclohexene dioxide (VCD)-induced POI murine model was conducted to explore the therapeutical action of BSNXD. Second, we analyzed the active compounds of BSNXD and predicted their potential mechanisms for POI-related osteoimmune disorder via network pharmacology, further confirmed by molecular biology experiments. The results demonstrated that VCD exposure led to elevated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, a 50% reduction in the primordial follicles, bone microstructure changes, and macrophage activation, indicating an osteoimmune disorder. BSNXD inhibited macrophage activation and osteoclast differentiation but did not affect serum FSH and estradiol levels in the VCD-induced POI model. Network pharmacology predicted the potential mechanisms of BSNXD against the POI-related osteoimmune disorder involving tumor necrosis factor α and MAPK signaling pathways, highlighting BSNXD regulated inflammation, hormone, and osteoclast differentiation. Further experiments identified BSNXD treatment suppressed macrophage activation via downregulating FSH receptor (FSHR) expression and inhibiting the phosphorylation of ERK and CCAAT enhancer binding proteins β. In conclusion, BSNXD regulated POI-related osteoimmune disorder by suppressing the FSH/FSHR pathway to reduce macrophage activation and further inhibiting osteoclastogenesis.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Kai-Xin-San (KXS, or Happy Feeling Powder), a typical Chinese herbal prescription, is frequently used for treating depression by the multi-level and multi-target mechanism.
    Aim of the study: To systematically investigate the efficacy and safety of KXS on depression in preclinic trials.
    Materials and methods: We independently searched for preclinical animal studies of KXS on depression from inception to June 28, 2022, using electronic databases, e.g., PUBMED. The measurements were performed to assess the outcomes of behavioral tests.
    Results: This systematic review and meta-analysis included twenty-four studies and 608 animals. A remarkable effect of KXS in depression behavioral tests, including sucrose consumption test (SMD: 2.36, 95% CI: (1.81, 2.90); Z = 8.49, P < 0.00001)., forced swimming test (MD = -60.52, 95% CI: (-89.04, -31.99); Z = 4.16, P < 0.0001), rearing times (MD=4.48, 95% CI: (3.39, 5.57); Z = 8.05, P < 0.00001) and crossing times (MD = -33.7, 95% CI: (25.74, 41.67); Z = 8.29, P < 0.00001) in the open field test, showing KXS's excellent efficiency in improving depressive-like symptoms of animals.
    Conclusions: Our meta-analysis showed KXS remarkably relieved animals' depressive-like symptoms, providing evidence that KXS can be a promising drug candidate for depression treatment.
