    Abstract Jian-Pi-Yi-Shen formula (JPYSF), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been recommended to treat renal fibrosis for decades. Previous studies had shown that JPYSF could inhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), an important regulatory role in renal fibrosis. However, the mechanism of JPYSF action is largely unknown. In this study, network pharmacology and experimental verification were combined to elucidate and identify the potential mechanism of JPYSF against renal fibrosis by suppressing EMT at molecular and pathway levels. Network pharmacology was first performed to explore the mechanism of JPYSF against renal fibrosis targeting EMT, and then a 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6 Nx)-induced rat model of renal fibrosis was selected to verify the predictive results by Masson's trichrome stains and western blot analysis. Two hundred and thirty-two compounds in JPYSF were selected for the network approach analysis, which identified 137 candidate targets of JPYSF and 4,796 known therapeutic targets of EMT. The results of the Gene Ontology (GO) function enrichment analysis included 2098, 88, and 133 GO terms for biological processes (BPs), molecular functions (MFs), and cell component entries, respectively. The top 10 enrichment items of BP annotations included a response to a steroid hormone, a metal ion, oxygen levels, and so on. Cellular composition (CC) is mainly enriched in membrane raft, membrane microdomain, membrane region, etc. The MF of JPYSF analysis on EMT was predominately involved in proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding, protein heterodimerization activity, RNA polymerase II proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding, and so on. The involvement signaling pathway of JPYSF in the treatment of renal fibrosis targeting EMT was associated with anti-fibrosis, anti-inflammation, podocyte protection, and metabolism regulation. Furthermore, the

    Abstract Jujube polysaccharides (JP) is one of the active food sourced glycans in dietary fruit of Ziziphus jujuba, which has been considered for the treatment of blood deficiency. In this study, a chronic kidney disease (CKD) rat model was used to evaluate the effect of JP and its mechanism on CKD-associated anemia. In CKD rats, JP treatment significantly ameliorated kidney function, kidney pathological injury and hematological parameters, including increasing red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelet count. Moreover, LC-MS/MS targeted metabolomics results showed that JP promoted short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) release in CKD rats. Besides, JP alternated the serum erythropoietin (EPO) level, kidney EPO mRNA and kidney EPO protein via HIF-α signaling. Collectively, these results provide evidence that the effect of JP on CKD-associated anemia may be involved in regulation of SCFAs release and erythropoietin production, supporting further development of JP as food supplements in treating CKD-associated anemia.

    Abstract Objective: Jian-Pi-Yi-Shen formula (JPYSF) is a traditional Chinese herbal decoction and has been used for treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) in clinics for decades. However, the potential mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. This study was designed to test the efficacy of JPYSF in treating CKD and explore the underlying mechanism.
    Methods: Two CKD rat models were established by 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6 Nx) and feeding with adenine-containing feed, respectively. The intervention dose of JPYSF was 10.89 g/kg/d by gastric irrigation. Renal function was assessed by serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and Masson's trichrome staining were used to evaluate renal histopathological changes. The levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD
    Results: The results show that administration of JPYSF significantly lowered Scr and BUN levels, improved renal tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis, and decreased renal extracellular matrix deposition in two CKD rat models. In addition, CKD rats exhibited suppressed QPRT/NAD
    Conclusion: In conclusion, administration of JPYSF effectively alleviated CKD progression in two rat models, which may be related with regulation of the QPRT/NAD

    Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a leading public health problem with high morbidity and mortality. However, the therapies remain limited. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used for treating kidney disease for thousands of years and is an effective alternative treatment for CKD patients in China and other Asian countries. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of Huangqi-Danshen decoction (HDD), a TCM herbal decoction, on treating CKD. CKD rat model was induced by adding 0.75% adenine to the diet for 4 weeks. HDD extract was administrated orally to CKD rats at the dose of 4.7 g/kg/d for consecutive 4 weeks in adenine-induced CKD rats. Kidney function was evaluated by the levels of serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). The pathological changes of kidney tissues were observed by periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and Masson's trichrome staining. The proteins expression of renal fibrosis and mitochondrial dynamics were determined and quantified by Western blot analysis. CKD rats showed obvious decline in renal function as evidenced by increased levels of Scr and BUN, which were blunted by HDD treatment. HDD could also improve tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis of CKD rats. Moreover, HDD downregulated fibronectin, type IV collagen, and

    Abstract Introduction: Jian-Pi-Yi-Shen pill (JPYSP) is a Chinese medicine formula developed for the treatment of anaemic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
    Objective: To investigate the chemical profile of JPYSP in the treatment of renal anaemia.
    Methods: A method coupling ultra-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) was established to characterise the chemical constituents present in JPYSP. Subsequently, a high-performance liquid chromatography method coupled with triple-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-QQQ-MS/MS) was developed to quantify the major constituents from the identified compounds related to the treatment of CKD and anaemia.
    Results: A total of 71 compounds were tentatively identified from JPYSP, including saponins, flavonoids, sesquiterpenoids, coumarins, phenylpropanoids, anthranones, anthraquinones, tannins, phenolic acids and others. Amongst them, 12 compounds (i.e. astragaloside IV, calycosin, calycosin 7-O-glucoside, salvianolic acid A, rosmarinic acid, rhein, liquiritin, formononetin, atractylenolide I, dioscin, tanshinone IIA, and acteoside) were further quantified simultaneously by HPLC-QQQ-MS/MS.
    Conclusion: The newly developed approach is suitable for the chemical profiling analysis and quality control of JPYSP, and could lead to additional pharmacodynamic studies involving the components of JPYSP.

    Abstract 9,11-Dehydroergosterol peroxide [9(11)-DHEP] is an important steroid from medicinal mushroom, which has been reported to exert antitumor activity in several tumor types. However, the role of 9(11)‑DHEP toward the malignant melanoma cells has not been investigated. In the present study, the steroid from Ganoderma lucidum was purified on a submerged culture, and its antitumor mechanisms on A375 human malignant melanoma cells was investigated by MTT, flow cytometry and western blotting. The studies demonstrated that apoptotic mechanisms of the steroid were caspase‑dependent and mediated via the mitochondrial pathway. The steroid did not cause significant changes in the expression levels of B‑cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl‑2) family proteins, Bcl‑2‑like protein 11, p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis, Bcl‑2‑associated X protein, BH3 interacting‑domain death agonist, Bcl‑2‑associated death promoter and Bcl‑2, but it significantly downregulated induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein Mcl‑1 (Mcl‑1) in melanoma cells, suggesting the key role of Mcl‑1 in regulating apoptosis of melanoma cells induced by the steroid. These properties of 9(11)‑DHEP advocate its usage as supplements in human malignant melanoma chemoprevention. The present study also suggests that mycelium of G. lucidum has a potential for producing bioactive substances and extracts with applications in medicine.
