Therapeutic potential of Rosa rugosa polysaccharide and its nanofiber membrane in psoriasis via PI3K-AKT/mTOR pathway inhibition

Mengxiang Chen,Yi Peng,Rongtao Zhu,Xiaoting Luo,Xuemin Yang,Jiazhi Chen,Haiyan Chen,Wei Zhou,Zhiyun Du

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with significant impacts on quality of life. Current treatments face challenges like high costs and side effects. This study explores the therapeutic potential of Rosa rugosa polysaccharide (RRPS) and its nanofiber membrane in psoriasis treatment. RRPS was extracted using a yeast fermentation enzyme-assisted method and characterized. In vitro studies on RAW264.7 macrophages showed that RRPS significantly reduced nitric oxide (NO) production, indicating anti-inflammatory effects. The nanofiber membrane, fabricated via electrospinning, has high porosity and sustained-release properties, enhancing drug delivery and skin barrier repair. In vivo studies using an imiquimod-induced psoriasis mouse model demonstrated that both RRPS and its nanofiber membrane improved psoriasis symptoms, reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and inhibited pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6, IL-17A). Mechanistically, they suppressed the PI3K-AKT/mTOR pathway. The nanofiber membrane showed superior efficacy compared to RRPS alone, highlighting the benefits of electrospinning. This study suggests that Rosa rugosa polysaccharide and its nanofiber membrane could be a novel, effective, and safe alternative for psoriasis treatment by targeting the PI3K-AKT/mTOR pathway.

Upregulation of SEMP1 Contributes to Improving the Biological Functions of Trophoblast via the PI3K/AKT Pathway in Preeclampsia

Chang Ruijing,Su Yuan,Kong Hongfang,Wang Fang,Xing Ying,Jiang Lei,Xin Hong

Disturbance of extravillous trophoblast infiltration is associated with preeclampsia (PE), a severe condition of pregnancy characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. Senescence-associated epithelial membrane protein 1 (SEMP1), an integral membrane protein, is a vital component of tight junction strands in epithelial or endothelial cells, with no clear function reported in PE. Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets showed that SEMP1 expression was downregulated in the placental tissues of PE patients, which was confirmed by assessing SEMP1 levels in placental samples collected in our hospital. Furthermore, less SEMP1 was detected in cytokeratin 7 positive trophoblast cells in the spiral arteries of rat placentas post L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME) treatment. Trophoblast cells acquired robust ability of proliferation, migration, and invasion when SEMP1 was overexpressed. Such capability was weakened in SEMP1-silenced cells. Trophoblast cells overexpressing SEMP1 secreted more vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), which facilitated the tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Blockade of PI3K/AKT signaling transduction with LY294002 dampened the effects of SEMP1 on trophoblast cells. Collectively, we firstly indicated that SEMP1 inhibition is a potential driver for PE, which may be associated with the deactivation of the PI3K/AKT pathway. Graphical Abstract SEMP1 was involved in PE progression by regulating cell growth, migration, invasion, and tube formation via PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in trophoblast cells and endothelial cells.

Combination of Diosmetin With Chrysin Against Hepatocellular Carcinoma Through Inhibiting PI3K/AKT/mTOR/NF-кB Signaling Pathway: TCGA Analysis, Molecular Docking, Molecular Dynamics, In Vitro Experiment

Xiang Yu,Di Zhang,Chengming Hu,Zejun Yu,Yang Li,Cheng Fang,Yinsheng Qiu,Zhinan Mei,Lingyun Xu

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most prevalent malignant tumor. Hepatocellular carcinogenesis is closely linked to apoptosis, autophagy, and inflammation. Diosmetin and chrysin, are two flavonoid compounds, exhibit anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. In this study, the TCGA database was utilized to identify differentially expressed genes between normal subjects and HCC patients. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics analyses were employed to assess the binding affinity of chrysin and diosmetin to key proteins in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR/NF-κB signaling pathway. Western blotting and RT-qPCR were used to measure the protein and gene expression within this pathway. The results indicated that HCC patients had elevated levels of PI3K, AKT, mTOR, and P65 proteins compared to normal subjects, which adversely affected patient survival. Molecular docking and dynamics studies demonstrated that diosmetin and chrysin are effectively bound to these four proteins. In vitro experiments revealed that the combination of diosmetin and chrysin could induce apoptosis, enhance autophagy, reduce inflammatory mediator production, and improve the tumor cell microenvironment by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR/NF-κB signaling pathway. Notably, the synergy score for the combination of diosmetin (25 μM) and chrysin (10 μM) was 16. Thus, the diosmetin–chrysin combination shows promise as an effective therapeutic approach for hepatocellular carcinoma due to its strong synergistic effect.

GSTA2 overexpression alleviates bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)-induced male reproductive disorders by inhibiting oxidative stress-mediated cell apoptosis via the activated PI3K/AKT signaling pathway

Lei Wei,Zonggang Feng,Qian Dou,Genhong Mao,Hu Zhao,Xinghua Zhao,Bin Hao

Male reproductive disorders are responsible for approximately 50% of infertility cases. Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a common environmental pollutant known for its reproductive toxicity. Oxidative stress is a key mechanism in response to DEHP exposure. Glutathione S-transferase A2 (GSTA2), a member of the glutathione S-transferase family, has the capacity to detoxify environmental toxins. However, its role in regulating DEHP-induced male reproductive disorders remains unexplored. Next, male mice aged 3 weeks were orally administered with DEHP (500 mg/kg/day) for 14 days to induce male reproductive disorders. We observed a decrease in the GSTA2 expression in the testicular tissues of DEHP-treated mice. To investigate the role of GSTA2 in DEHP exposure, lentiviral vectors carrying GSTA2 sequences (1 × 10 7 TU/mL, 20 μL) were given to mice on the first day of DEHP treatment. GSTA2 overexpression was found to alleviate testicular damage induced by DEHP, as well as to inhibit oxidative stress and subsequent cell apoptosis. In addition, the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, which is associated with oxidative stress and DEHP exposure, was activated in DEHP-exposed mice following GSTA2 overexpression. Subsequently, mouse spermatocyte GC-2spd cells with DEHP treatment were used to mimic male reproductive disorders in vitro . Consistently, the GSTA2 expression was decreased in GC-2spd cells with DEHP treatment. GSTA2 overexpression inhibited oxidative stress and cell apoptosis in DEHP-treated GC-2spd cells by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Moreover, we discovered that GSTA2 overexpression significantly altered the metabolic profiles of DEHP-treated GC-2spd cells. Collectively, our results suggest that GSTA2 overexpression alleviates DEHP-induced male reproductive disorders by suppressing oxidative stress-mediated cell apoptosis via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, providing a novel insight into mitigating reproductive toxicity caused by DEHP exposure.

Self-renewal or quiescence? Orchestrating the fate of mesenchymal stem cells by matrix viscoelasticity via PI3K/Akt-CDK1 pathway

Chuanchuan Lin,Ye He,Qian Feng,Kun Xu,Zhe Chen,Bailong Tao,Xuemin Li,Zengzilu Xia,Hong Jiang,Kaiyong Cai

To control the fate of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in a 3D environment by adjusting the mechanical parameters of MSC-loading scaffolds, is one of the hot topics in the field of regenerative biomaterials. However, a thorough understanding of the relevant MSCs behaviors affected by viscoelasticity , a dynamic physical parameter of scaffolds, is still lacking. Herein, we established an alginate hydrogel system with constant stiffness and tunable stress relaxation rate, which is a key parameter for the viscoelastic property of material. MSCs were cultured inside three groups of alginate hydrogels with various stress relaxation rates, and then RNA-seq analysis of cells was performed. Results showed that the change of stress relaxation rates of hydrogels regulated the most of the different expression genes of MSCs, which were enriched in cell proliferation-related pathways. MSCs cultured in hydrogels with fast stress relaxation rate presented a high self-renewal proliferation profile via activating phosphatidylinositol 3- kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway. In contrast, a slow stress relaxation rate of hydrogels induced MSCs to enter a reversible quiescence state due to the weakened PI3K/Akt activation. Combined with a further finite element analysis , we speculated that the quiescence of MSCs could be served as a positive strategy for MSCs to deal with the matrix with a low deformation to keep stemness. Based on the results, we identified that stress relaxation rate of hydrogel was a potential physical factor of hydrogel to regulate the self-renewal or quiescence of MSCs. Thus, our findings provide a significant guiding principle for the design of MSCs-encapsulated biomaterials.

EGCG protects against homocysteine-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells apoptosis by modulating mitochondrial-dependent apoptotic signaling and PI3K/Akt/eNOS signaling pathways

Liu Shumin,Sun Zhengwu,Chu Peng,Li Hailong,Ahsan Anil,Zhou Ziru,Zhang Zonghui,Sun Bin,Wu Jingjun,Xi Yalin,Han Guozhu,Lin Yuan,Peng Jinyong,Tang Zeyao

Homocysteine (Hcy) induced vascular endothelial injury leads to the progression of endothelial dysfunction in atherosclerosis. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a natural dietary antioxidant, has been applied to protect against atherosclerosis. However, the underlying protective mechanism of EGCG has not been clarified. The present study investigated the mechanism of EGCG protected against Hcy-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) apoptosis. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay (MTT), transmission electron microscope, fluorescent staining, flow cytometry, western blot were used in this study. The study has demonstrated that EGCG suppressed Hcy-induced endothelial cell morphological changes and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Moreover, EGCG dose-dependently prevented Hcy-induced HUVECs cytotoxicity and apoptotic biochemical changes such as reducing mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), decreasing Bcl-2/Bax protein ratio and activating caspase-9 and 3. In addition, EGCG enhanced the protein ratio of p-Akt/Akt, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activation and nitric oxide (NO) formation in injured cells. In conclusion, the present study shows that EGCG prevents Hcy-induced HUVECs apoptosis via modulating mitochondrial apoptotic and PI3K/Akt/eNOS signaling pathways. Furthermore, the results indicate that EGCG is likely to represent a potential therapeutic strategy for atherosclerosis associated with Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy).

Icariin protects against glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis, increases the expression of the bone enhancer DEC1 and modulates the PI3K/Akt/GSK3β/β-catenin integrated signaling pathway

Jinhua Hu,Zhao Mao,Shuangcheng He,Yuanran Zhan,Rui Ning,Wei Liu,Bingfang Yan,Jian Yang

Osteoporosis is a serious public health concern worldwide. Herba epimedii has been used for centuries and even thousands of years to treat osteoporotic conditions. Icariin , a flavonol glycoside , is one of the major active ingredients. In this study, we have shown that icariin protected against glucocorticoid-induced osteoporotic changes in SaoS-2 cells and mice. We have also shown that dexamethasone (a glucocorticoid) suppressed and icariin induced DEC1, a structurally distinct helix-loop-helix protein. DEC1 overexpression promoted whereas DEC1 knockdown decreased osteogenic activity. Likewise, DEC1 overexpression and knockdown inversely regulated the expression of β-catenin and PIK3CA, an essential player in the Wnt/β-catenin and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways, respectively. Interestingly, DKK1, an inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling inhibitor, and LY294002 , an inhibitor of PI3K/Akt signaling, abolished the induction of DEC1 by icariin. It is established that these two pathways are interconnected by the phosphorylation status of GSK3β. Dexamethasone decreased but icariin increased GSK3β phosphorylation. Finally, DEC1 deficient mice developed osteoporotic phenotypes. Taken together, it is concluded that DEC1 likely supports the action of icariin against glucocorticoid induced osteoporosis with an involvement of the PI3K/Akt/GSK3β/β-catenin integrated signaling pathway.

Mulberroside A: A Multi-Target Neuroprotective Agent in Alzheimer’s Disease via Cholinergic Restoration and PI3K/AKT Pathway Activation

Jin Li,Jiawen Wang,Yaodong Li,Jingyi Guo,Ziliang Jin,Shourong Qiao,Yunxia Zhang,Guoyin Li,Huazhen Liu,Changjing Wu

Simple SummaryAlzheimer’s disease is a severe, gradually worsening brain disorder leading to memory loss and dementia, with no effective treatments currently available. In this study, we investigated a natural compound called mulberroside A, derived from the mulberry plant, to determine its potential protective effects against Alzheimer’s disease. Utilizing a mouse model and human brain cells, we discovered that mulberroside A enhanced memory and decreased brain cell damage. Additionally, it increased the levels of crucial brain chemicals, facilitating better communication between nerve cells. Moreover, it alleviated harmful stress in the brain and reduced the formation of two hallmark pathologies: toxic tau protein tangles and amyloid plaques. The compound significantly decreased phosphorylated tau—a key driver of neuronal degeneration—while simultaneously inhibiting amyloid plaque formation. Mulberroside A operated by activating specific neuroprotective pathways that promote brain health, including those that encourage nerve growth. These findings indicate it could serve as a promising new treatment to slow or prevent Alzheimer’s disease by targeting multiple disease mechanisms.Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia, with current therapies offering only limited symptomatic relief and lacking disease-modifying efficacy. Addressing this critical therapeutic gap, natural multi-target compounds like mulberroside A (MsA)—a bioactive glycoside fromMorus albaL.—present promising alternatives. This study investigated MsA’s neuroprotective potential using scopolamine-induced AD-like mice and N2a/APP695swe cells. In vivo, MsA significantly ameliorated cognitive deficits and neuronal loss, concurrently enhancing cholinergic neurotransmission through increased acetylcholine levels and inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE)/butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activities. MsA also upregulated neurotrophic factors (BDNF, CREB) in critical brain regions. In vitro, MsA restored cholinergic function, mitigated oxidative stress, and crucially reduced amyloid-β (Aβ) production by dual regulation of APP processing: promoting the non-amyloidogenic pathway via ADAM10 upregulation and inhibiting the amyloidogenic pathway via suppression of BACE1 and γ-secretase components. Mechanistically, these multi-target benefits were mediated by MsA’s activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway, which triggered downstream inhibitory phosphorylation of GSK3β—directly reduced tau hyperphosphorylation—and activation of CREB/BDNF signaling. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that MsA confers comprehensive neuroprotection against AD pathology by simultaneously targeting cholinergic dysfunction, oxidative stress, Aβ accumulation, tau phosphorylation, and impaired neurotrophic signaling, highlighting its strong therapeutic candidacy.

C-Phycocyanin Ameliorates the Senescence of Mesenchymal Stem Cells through ZDHHC5-Mediated Autophagy via PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway

Guoxiang Liu,Xiaoxia Li,Fanghao Yang,Jingyu Qi,Lipeng Shang,Huhu Zhang,Shuang Li,Fenghua Xu,Lingne Li,Huaxin Yu,Yang Li,Xiaolei Dong,Qinghang Song,Feng Zhu,Guang Chen,Can Cao,Liangqian Jiang,Junzhe Su,Lina Yang,Xiaohui Xu,Zhe Zhang,Robert Chunhua Zhao,Bing Li

The senescence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) impairs their regenerative capacity to maintain tissue homeostasis. Numerous studies are focusing on the interventions and mechanisms to attenuate the senescence of MSCs. C-phycocyanin (C-PC) is reported to have multiple functions such as antitumor, antioxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-aging roles, but there is little research about the effects of C-PC on the senescence of MSCs. Here we investigated the roles and mechanism of C-PC on MSCs senescence. In vitro results showed that C-PC could reduce senescence, enhance proliferation, promote the adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation in senescent MSCs induced by oxidative stress. In vivo D-Galactose (D-Gal) induced rats aging models showed C-PC also increased the viability and differentiation of intrinsic senescent bone marrow derived MSCs (BMSCs). Furthermore, C-PC also decreased the levels of oxidative stress markers ROS or MDA, elevated the SOD activity, and increased the anti-inflammatory factors. Proteomic chip analysis showed that C-PC interacted with ZDHHC5, and their interaction was verified by pull down assay. Overexpression of ZDHHC5 aggravated the senescence of MSCs and greatly lessened the beneficial effects of C-PC on senescence. In addition, we found ZDHHC5 regulated autophagy by altering LC3, Beclin1 and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. In summary, our data indicated that C-PC ameliorates the senescence of MSCs through zinc finger Asp-His-His-Cys (DHHC) domain-containing protein 5 (ZDHHC5) mediated autophagy via PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. The present study uncovered the key role of autophagy in MSCs senescence and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway may be a potential target for anti-senescence studies of MSCs.

Cabazitaxel suppresses the proliferation and promotes the apoptosis and radiosensitivity of castration-resistant prostate cancer cells by inhibiting PI3K/AKT pathway

Zheng Xu,Luwei Xu,Yuzheng Ge,Hongbin Sun,Jiageng Zhu,Quanliang Dou,Ruipeng Jia

Background: Cabazitaxel has been applied to the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), but the molecular mechanism remained to be fully understood. Methods: After treatment with Cabazitaxel alone or in combination with ionizing radiation (IR), CRPC cell viability, proliferation and apoptosis were determined by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation, and flow cytometry, respectively. Tumor volume was measured after the establishment of animal xenograft model. Relative expressions of proteins related to apoptosis (B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), and cleaved caspase 3) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway were measured by Western blot, and the phosphorylated-PI3K/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT ratios were determined as well. Results: Cell viability and proliferation were suppressed, and apoptosis was promoted in CRPC cells after Cabazitaxel treatment alone, accompanied with upregulated expressions of Bax and cleaved caspase 3 and downregulated Bcl-2 expression. Also, a single treatment with Cabazitaxel resulted in suppression of PI3K/AKT pathway activation, along with downregulated expressions of p-PI3K and p-AKT and a reduced ratio of p-PI3K/PI3K to p-AKT/AKT. Meanwhile, Cabazitaxel enhanced the effects of IR on suppressing survival and promoting apoptosis in CRPC cells through downregulating Bcl-2 and upregulating Bax and cleaved caspase 3. However, Cabazitaxel suppressed IR-induced PI3K/AKT pathway activation via downregulating p-PI3K and p-AKT, leading to a reduced ratio of p-PI3K/PI3K to p-AKT/AKT. Furthermore, Cabazitaxel further promoted the effects of IR on suppressing tumor growth in vivo . Conclusion: Cabazitaxel inhibited the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis and radiosensitivity of CRPC cells, which is related to the suppression of PI3K/AKT pathway, providing a therapeutic method for CRPC in clinical practice.

Coix seed polysaccharides alleviate type 2 diabetes mellitus via gut microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids activation of IGF1/PI3K/AKT signaling

Ting Xia,Chang-Shun Liu,Yan-Nan Hu,Zhen-Ye Luo,Fei-Long Chen,Li-Xia Yuan,Xiao-Mei Tan

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has become a worldwide concern in recent years. Coix seed (CS) as a homologous substance of traditional Chinese medicine and food, its polysaccharides can improve the symptoms of patients with metabolic disorders. Since most plant polysaccharides are difficult to digest and absorb, we hypothesized that Coix seed polysaccharides (CSP) exert hypoglycemic effects through the gut. In this study, the underlying mechanisms regulating hypoglycemic effects of CSP on a T2DM mouse model were investigated. After treatment with CSP, serum insulin and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were increased, while total cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were decreased in T2DM mice. In addition, CSP treatment helped repair the intestinal barrier and modulated the gut microbial composition in T2DM mice, mainly facilitating the growth of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria, Spearman’s analysis revealed these bacteria were positively related with the hypoglycemic efficacy of CSP. Colonic transcriptome analysis indicated the hypoglycemic effect of CSP was associated with the activation of the IGF1/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Correlative analysis revealed that this activation may result from the increase of SCFAs-producing bacteria by CSP. GC–MS detection verified that CSP treatment increased fecal SCFAs levels. Molecular docking revealed that SCFAs could bind with IGF1, PI3K, and AKT. Our findings demonstrated that CSP treatment modulates gut microbial composition, especially of the SCFAs-producing bacteria, activates the IGF1/PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, and exhibits hypoglycemic efficacy.

Jieduquyuziyin Prescription alleviates hepatic gluconeogenesis via PI3K/Akt/PGC-1α pathway in glucocorticoid-induced MRL/lpr mice

Li-na Ji,Shan Wu,Dan-qing Fu,Si-jia Fang,Guan-qun Xie,Yong-sheng Fan,Jie Bao

Ethnopharmacological relevance Jieduquyuziyin prescription (JP) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula. According to both TCM theory and more than a decade of clinical practice, JP has been testified to be effective for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) treatment as an approved hospital prescription in China. Aim of the study To determine the effect of JP on the treatment of SLE by glucocorticoid (GC) and to further examine the molecular mechanisms. Materials and methods We conducted in vivo experiments to estimate the effect of JP on hepatic gluconeogenesis in MRL/lpr mice treated with GC. Additionally, isoproterenol (ISO) induced hepatic gluconeogenesis model and GC-treated MRL/lpr mouse hepatocytes were carried out in vitro experiments to verify the effect of JP on gluconeogenesis. Results The results showed that JP combined with GC could effectively alleviate the lupus symptoms in MRL/lpr mice and improve the pathological changes of the kidney and liver. And the combination of JP reduced the side effects caused by GC, which was related to the inhibition of GC-induced hepatic gluconeogenesis in MRL/lpr mice. Specifically, JP up-regulated the expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) α, phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) and Akt restrained by GC to reduce the production of forkhead box O1 (FoxO1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), and the gluconeogenic genes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase). In viv o, the use of JP either alone or with GC could reduce spleen enlargement , high levels of serum antibodies, aggravated urine protein and renal pathological damage in MRL/lpr mice. Furthermore, the glucose content was reduced in the liver of MRL/lpr mice treated with JP, and the liver damage and steatosis were also alleviated. In vitro , the expressions of PI3K and Akt increased and the expressions of FoxO1, PGC-1α, PEPCK and G6Pase decreased after JP treatment in ISO-treated hepatocytes. Compared with MRL/MP mice, we found that JP could significantly inhibit the expression of gluconeogenesis in the hepatocytes of MRL/lpr mice induced by GC to a greater extent. Conclusions The therapeutic effect of JP on GC-induced is likely related to hepatic gluconeogenesis, which provides a new perspective to reveal the positive role of JP in SLE.
