    Abstract This study aimed to explore the mechanism of Qingre Huoxue Fang (QRHXF) treatment on anti-angiogenesis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on network pharmacology and in vitro experiments. We used the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and Therapeutic Target (TTD) database to extract the active components of QRHXF and potential targets for regulating angiogenesis. First, we used Cytoscape bioinformatics software to construct the network of QRHXF-angiogenesis and screened the potential targets. Then, we performed gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis on the potential core targets. In addition, enzyme-linked immune assay and Western blot were used for in vitro validation and to verify the effects of different concentrations of QRHXF on the expression levels of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor type 1 (VEGFR-1) and VEGFR-2 cytokines and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3k) and Ak strain transforming (Akt) proteins in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In results, we screened 179 core QRHXF antiangiogenic targets, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) cytokines. Enrichment analysis showed that the targets were enriched in 56 core signaling pathways, including PI3k and Akt. In vitro experiments showed that the migration distance and square, adhesion optical density (OD) values, and the number of branch points in tube formation significantly decreased in the QRHXF group compared with the induced group (P<0.01). Notably, the serum levels of VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 were lower compared with the induced group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In addition, the expressions of PI3K and p-Akt proteins were decreased in the middle- and high doses groups (P<0.01). This study's results suggest that the downstream mechanism of QRHXF anti-angiogenesis might inhibit the PI3K-Akt signalling pathway and downregulate VEGF-1 and VEGF-2.

    Abstract Abstract Background Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transitional state between normal ageing and dementia. Most MCI patients will progress to dementia within 5 years; therefore, early intervention for MCI is important for delaying the occurrence and progression of dementia. Yi Shen Fang (YSF) granules are a promising traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment that shows great neuroprotective potential against cognitive impairment, as evidenced in clinical and basic studies. This trial aims to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of YSF granules in elderly people with MCI. Methods This study is a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, controlled trial. Based on the results of previous clinical trials, 280 elderly patients with MCI will be randomly divided into a treatment group (n = 140) and control group (n = 140). The study will last 33 weeks, including 1 week of screening, 8 weeks of intervention, and 24 weeks of follow-up. The primary outcomes will be the changes in Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Memory and Executive Screening (MES) scores before and after the intervention. The secondary outcome measures will be homocysteine (HCY) levels, Functional Assessment Questionnaire (FAQ) scores and event-related potential (ERP) detection in typical cases. The TCM symptom scale is a combined measure of syndrome differentiation and treatment. During this study, the classifications and characteristics of adverse events, the times of occurrence and disappearance, the measures of treatment, their impact on the primary disease, and outcomes will be reported truthfully. Discussion This study will provide valuable clinical evidence that YSF can help to improve the cognitive function of elderly people with MCI, and the results will be disseminated via conferences and publications.

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: A herbal formula Tong-Xie-Yao-Fang (TXYF) is traditionally used to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), modern pharmacological evidence supports that the formula efficacy is associated with altered gut microbiota. Yet, the mechanistic role of gut microbiota in the therapy of TXYF remains unclear. We previously clarified that gut microbiota-dysregulated bile acid (BA) metabolism contribute to the pathogenesis of IBS, deriving a hypothesis that microbiota-BA metabolic axis might be a potential target of TXYF.
    Aim of the study: We aim to investigate a new gut microbiota-mediated mechanism underlying anti-IBS efficacy of TXYF.
    Materials and methods: We established an IBS rat model with a combination of stressors, compared the herbal efficacy in models undergone gut bacterial manipulations, also examined BA metabolism-related microbiota, metabolites, genes and proteins by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, targeted metabolomics, qPCR and multiplex immunofluorescence staining.
    Results: We observed that TXYF attenuated visceral hyperalgesia and diarrhea in IBS rats but not in those underwent gut bacteria depletion. Transferring gut microbiota from TXYF-treated donors also decreased visceral sensitivity and slightly relief diarrhea-like behaviors in IBS recipient rats. Fecal 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that TXYF modulated microbial β-diversity and taxonomic structure of IBS rats, with a significant increase in relative abundance of bile salt hydrolase (BSH)-expressing Bacteroidaceae. qPCR and culturing data validated that TXYF had a promotive effect on the growth and BSH activity of Bacteroides species. TXYF-reshaped microbiota upregulated the expression of intestinal Fgf15, a feedback signal to control BA synthesis in the liver. As a result, the BA synthetic and excretory levels in IBS rats were decreased by TXYF, so as that colonic BA membrane receptor Tgr5 sensing and its mediated Calcitonin gene-related peptide (Cgrp)-positive neuronal response were attenuated.
    Conclusion: This study poses a new microbiota-driven therapeutic action for TXYF, highlighting the potential of developing new anti-IBS strategies from the herbal formula targeting BSH-expressing gut bacteria.

    Abstract: ... Fang-Shuai formula (M-SYFSF) has excellent clinical efficacy in treating diabetic kidney disease ...

    Abstract Context: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the main cause of end-stage renal disease. Modified Shen-Yan-Fang-Shuai formula (M-SYFSF) has excellent clinical efficacy in treating diabetic kidney disease. However, the potential mechanism of M-SYFSF remains unknown.
    Objective: To investigate the mechanism of M-SYFSF against DN by network pharmacological analysis and biological experiments.
    Materials and methods: Utilizing a web-based pharmacology database, the potential mechanisms of M-SYFSF against DN were identified.
    Results: Network pharmacological analysis showed that MAPK pathway was the potential pathway. Results showed that compared with the Model group, M-SYFSF significantly reduced 24h urine albumin, UACR, and serum creatinine levels (54.90 ± 26.67 vs. 111.78 ± 4.28, 8.87 ± 1.69 vs. 53.94 ± 16.01, 11.56 ± 1.70 vs. 118.70 ± 49.57, respectively), and improved renal pathological changes. Furthermore, the intervention of M-SYFSF reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inhibited the activation of MAPK pathway in AGEs-treated HK-2 cells.
    Discussion and conclusion: M-SYFSF is likely to reduce inflammation in DN by inhibiting the MAPK pathway. It provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of M-SYFSF in the treatment of DN.

    Abstract: ... herbal formulae BuShen JianGu Fang (BSJGF) has been clinically applied for treating OA-related syndromes ...

    Abstract Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is an inflammatory response in chondrocytes, causing extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and cartilage destruction, affecting millions of people worldwide. Chinese herbal formulae BuShen JianGu Fang (BSJGF) has been clinically applied for treating OA-related syndromes, but the underlying mechanism still unclear.
    Methods: The components of BSJGF were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). To make a traumatic OA model, the anterior cruciate ligament of 6-8-week-old male SD rats were cut and then the 0.4 mm metal was used to destroy the knee joint cartilage. OA severity was assessed by histological and Micro-CT. Mouse primary chondrocytes were utilized to investigate the mechanism of BSJGF alleviate osteoarthritis, which was examined by RNA-seq technology combined with a series of functional experiments.
    Results: A total 619 components were identified by LC-MS. In vivo, BSJGF treatment result in a higher articular cartilage tissue area compared to IL-1β group. Treatment also significantly increased Tb.Th, BV/TV and BMD of subchondral bone (SCB), which implied a protective effect on maintaining the stabilization of SCB microstructure. In vitro results indicated BSJGF promoted chondrocyte proliferation, increased the expression level of cartilage-specific genes (Sox9, Col2a1, Acan) and synthesized acidic polysaccharide, while inhibiting the release of catabolic enzymes and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by IL-1β. Transcriptome analysis showed that there were 1471 and 4904 differential genes between IL-1β group and blank group, BSJGF group and IL-1β group, respectively, including matrix synthesis related genes (Col2a1, H19, Acan etc.), inflammation related genes (Comp, Pcsk6, Fgfr3 etc.) and oxidative stress related genes (Gm26917, Bcat1, Sod1 etc.). Furthermore, KEGG analysis and validation results showed that BSJGF reduces OA-mediated inflammation and cartilage damaged due to modulation of NF-κB/Sox9 signaling axis.
    Conclusion: The innovation of the present study was the elucidation of the alleviating cartilage degradation effect of BSJGF in vivo and in vitro and discovery of its mechanism through RNA-seq combined with function experiments, which provides a biological rationale for the clinical application of BSJGF for OA treatment.

    Abstract Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease, and its conventional treatment has exhibited limited therapeutic efficacy. Qing Zao Fang (QZF), a traditional Chinese medicine formula, is used in the treatment of Sjögren's syndrome, but its chemical composition is complex, and its pharmacological mechanism is not clear. Therefore, this study aims to explore the potential mechanism of QZF in the treatment of Sjögren's syndrome based on network pharmacology and SS mouse model. The main active components and predicted targets of QZF were analyzed by network pharmacology. The SS mouse model was constructed and divided into 6 groups: control, SS, SS + hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)-treated, SS + low-dose QZF-treated, SS + medium-dose QZF-treated, and SS + high-dose QZF-treated group. Immunohistochemical, ELISA, and qRT-PCR assays were performed to detect the expressions of targets associated with SS. TUNEL staining was used to detect apoptosis. Cumulatively, 230 active compounds and 1883 targets of QZF were identified. There were 227 common targets for QZF and SS. The effective active ingredients were stigmasterol, neocryptotanshinone II, neotanshinone C, miltionone I, and beta-pinene. It mainly acts on biological processes such as inflammatory response, chemokine metabolic process, and immune response as well as pathways such as FoxO signaling pathway,

    Abstract: ... of ferroptosis. Huayu Jiedu Fang (HYJDF) is an empirical prescription for EM treatment. This study combined ...

    Abstract Endometriosis (EM) is a common chronic inflammatory disease in women. Sampson's retrograde menstruation theory is the most widely accepted theory of EM pathogenesis. The periodic bleeding of ectopic lesions is an important pathological feature of this disease, and the occurrence and progression of EM are closely associated with the iron overload caused by ectopic lesions. However, animal models that simulate menstrual-blood reflux and hemorrhage from EM lesions are lacking. In this study, we performed intraperitoneal injection of endometrial fragments and periodic intraperitoneal blood injection to simulate the real cause and disease state of EM and successfully constructed a mouse model of EM iron overload. Our research found that the number, size, and degree of adhesion of EM lesions in the iron-overload model mouse were significantly higher than those in the model mouse. Moreover, the iron concentration in the abdominal fluid and ovary significantly increased, and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the ovary increased. Conversely, GPX4, GSH, and other anti-ferroptosis-related proteins were downregulated, proving the occurrence of ferroptosis. Huayu Jiedu Fang (HYJDF) is an empirical prescription for EM treatment. This study combined animal experiments, UHPLC-QE-MS analysis, and network pharmacology to analyze whether HYJDF can inhibit ferroptosis to slow down the progression of EM and protect ovarian function. Based on the constructed iron-overload model, HYJDF can reduce the volume of EM lesions and the degree of adhesion, downregulate the total iron concentration in the peritoneal fluid and ovary, upregulate GPX4 expression and GSSG in the ovary, downregulate the level of MDA in the ovary, and promote the development of follicles. We further confirmed that HYJDF can inhibit the progression of EM disease and improve the ovarian function of the model mouse by inhibiting ferroptosis. Finally, through UHPLC-QE-MS and network pharmacology analysis, the natural compounds in HYJDF were identified and verified and the regulatory effect of HYJDF on the EM ferroptosis pathway through the IL-6/hepcidin pathway was preliminarily elucidated.

    Abstract Sjögren's syndrome (SS) which could lead to a disorder of our immune system is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by invading exocrine glands such as salivary glands and lacrimal glands and other exocrine glands. Its common symptom is dry mouth and dry eyes, often accompanied by a large number of lymphocyte infiltrations and can involve other organs to cause complex clinical manifestations. In this study, we aimed at investigating the effect of QZF in SS, identifying the molecular mechanism in modulating autoimmune response, and determining the important roles of these factors' function as a modulator in the pathogenesis of SS. The NOD mice were utilized to establish the rats' model of Sjögren's syndrome. After 10 weeks' hydroxychloroquine and QZF in different dose interference, submandibular gland tissue was collected. The therapeutic effect of QZF on SS rats was identified, and the results suggest the comparable potential to hydroxychloroquine. In submandibular gland tissue, interleukin- (IL-) 17 was significantly lower in high-dose QZF than that in SS rats and the focal lymphocytes were highly attenuated. Moreover, we found that PI3K/Akt signals were activated and the downstream HIF-1
