IntroductionAn increase in the intraorbital adipose tissue is the main pathological feature of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). IGF-1R activates PI3K/AKT signaling and accelerates adipogenesis. Pingmu decoction has been demonstrated to promote orbital adipocyte apoptosis; however, less is reported regarding the action mechanism of Danshenol A (DA), a single active ingredient of Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen). Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate the role and association of DA and IGF-1R in the proliferation and lipid accumulation of orbital adipocytes.MethodsPrimary human orbital preadipocytes were chosen and authenticated using immunofluorescence. Cells were treated with the IGF-1R agonist ginsenoside Rg5, IGF-1R overexpression plasmid, dexamethasone (Dex), and/or DA, after which cell proliferation and differentiation were assessed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), oil red O staining, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot assays.ResultsOrbital preadipocytes showed positive expression of Pref-1. Treatment with IGF-1R agonist, as well as Dex, promoted orbital adipocyte viability and lipid accumulation, and increased the expression of adiponectin and leptin. It was observed that the overexpression of IGF-1R boosted PI3K/AKT activation and elevated PPARγ and C/EBPα expressions. Importantly, DA reversed the effects of IGF-1R on cell viability, lipid accumulation, and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.DiscussionThis study, for the first time, revealed the molecular mechanism by which DA regulates orbital fat metabolism through targeted inhibition of the IGF-1R/PI3K/AKT signaling axis. Notably, IGF-1R overexpression partially counteracted the inhibitory effect of DA, suggesting that this component has multi-target regulatory characteristics.ConclusionThis study not only reveals a new mechanism by which DA treats TAO but also provides theoretical support for the treatment of adipose metabolism.

As the most frequently occurring cancer worldwide, lung cancer is notoriously diagnosed at advanced stages, resulting in high mortality rates. The primary factor underlying this persistent global health burden remains tobacco consumption. Nicotine, a key component of cigarette smoke, is one of the major contributing factors to the development of lung cancer, but the molecular mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated. α7-nAChR, β2-AR, and HGF/c-Met are known to contribute to lung cancer development, respectively. However, the specific signaling cascade through which they interact in nicotine-induced malignancy is unclear. In this study, using CCK-8 assays across a range of concentrations (0–5 μM), we determined that 1 μM nicotine treatment for 48 h optimally enhances A549 cell proliferation, establishing this condition for subsequent experiments. This study uncovers nicotine’s role in driving malignant behaviors including proliferation, migration, and invasion in nonsmall cell lung cancer A549 cells. Notably, nicotine potently stimulated migration and invasion, accompanied by upregulation of Cyclin D1 and MMP-2, and downregulation of BAX, BAD, and Caspase-3. Mechanistically, nicotine induced synergistic engagement of α7-nAChR and β2-AR, leading to activation of the HGF/c-Met/PI3K/AKT axis and enhancing the secretion of both HGF and MMP-2. Importantly, we reveal a previously unrecognized bidirectional regulatory loop between α7-nAChR and β2-AR that functionally converges on the HGF/c-Met axis, which acts as a critical signaling hub to drive the downstream PI3K/AKT pathway and facilitate tumor progression. Our findings provide the first evidence of a coordinated α7-nAChR/β2-AR interface regulating HGF/c-Met signaling that orchestrates both intracellular signaling and extracellular secretory programs in nicotine-promoted lung cancer progression. This offers innovative insights for identifying potential antitumor therapeutic targets and presents novel perspectives for the prevention and clinical management of lung cancer, particularly in smokers with nonsmall cell lung cancer.

In this study, we report that Fresh Rehmannia glutinosa extract (RGE), effectively prevents and treats Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP) by regulating the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway to restore the Treg/Th17 balance. • RGE, a traditional "medicinal and edible homology" herb recently added to China's 2024 list, demonstrates therapeutic potential for HSP by aligning with the TCM principle of "clearing descending fire and nourishing yin" to treat blood syndromes. • RGE and its core active component catalpol significantly alleviate HSP symptoms, reducing skin and renal purpura, pathological damage, and IgA deposition in mouse models. • RGE and its core active component catalpol restore Treg/Th17 balance and suppresses inflammatory cytokines by inhibiting the PI3K-AKT-mTOR/NF-κB signaling pathway, as confirmed by network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vivo/in vitro experiments. • Multi-omics analysis reveals that RGE intervention reshapes gut microbiota structure and regulates metabolic homeostasis, suggesting a protective "gut-microbiota-immune" mechanism in HSP treatment. Background Therapeutic choices remain limited for Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), an IgA-associated vasculitis. Rehmannia glutinosa , a medicinal and edible herb traditionally used to "clear heat and cool blood," shows clinical promise, yet its precise pathogenesis remains elusive. Purpose This study was designed to examine the therapeutic impact of Rehmannia glutinosa extract (RGE) on HSP, characterize its primary active components, and explore the mechanistic basis of its activity. Study design An integrative approach encompassing in vivo and in vitro HSP models, network pharmacology, LC-MS, molecular docking, dynamics simulations, microbiomics, and metabolomics was utilized to systematically identify the anti-HSP material basis and underlying mechanisms of RGE. Methods Forty-one active components in RGE were identified via LC-MS. A multi-level computational strategy-encompassing network pharmacology, docking studies, and molecular dynamics was applied to screen and identify Catalpol (Cat) as the key active candidate. ICR mouse HSP models and cell cultures were treated with RGE or Cat. Pathological injuries, IgA deposition, and immune cell proportion changes were evaluated using RT-qPCR, Western blot, flow cytometry, and multiplex immunofluorescence. Furthermore, microbiomics and metabolomics were utilized to decipher the mechanism by which RGE exerts its effects through gut microbiota regulation. Results RGE and Cat significantly alleviated skin and kidney injuries and reduced abnormal IgA deposition. By suppressing the PI3K-AKT-mTOR/NF-κB pathway, they successfully rectified the Treg/Th17 imbalance and mitigated inflammatory cytokine production. Additionally, RGE effectively reshaped the gut microbiota ecology and regulated the metabolome. Molecular simulations further confirmed Cat as a key active compound. Conclusion RGE exerts therapeutic effects on HSP through multi-target immunomodulation and gut microbiota remodeling, with Cat identified as a critical active component. These data support the herapeutic prospects of RGE and Cat in the prophylaxis and management of HSP. Download: Download high-res image (351KB) Download: Download full-size image

Background
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, chronic inflammatory disease of the colon that imposes a significant global public health burden due to its recurrent and refractory nature. The therapeutic effects of butyrate on UC have been documented previously, but its specific mechanisms remain unclear.
Objective
This study aimed to investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of butyrate in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC.
Methods
A UC mouse model was induced utilizing 3% DSS, followed by interventions of 300 mg/kg, 600 mg/kg, or 1200 mg/kg of butyrate. The fecal condition and colonic pathology of the mice were observed, along with measurements of body weight and colon length. The expression of serum inflammatory factors, autophagy-related proteins, and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway-related proteins were detected. Additionally, the impact of butyrate on the mouse gut microbial communities was evaluated using 16S rRNA sequencing technology.
Results
It was demonstrated that butyrate effectively alleviated UC symptoms, including bloody stools, weight loss, and colon shortening. Furthermore, butyrate reduced colonic tissue damage, decreased the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, and significantly upregulated Beclin-1, Atg5, and the LC3II/I ratio, while reducing P62 expression. Butyrate also decreased the relative expression of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR. 16S rRNA sequencing results revealed that butyrate improved the intestinal microbial community structure by inhibiting harmful bacteria and accelerating the growth of beneficial bacteria.
Conclusion
This study suggests that butyrate may alleviate DSS-induced UC in mice by blocking the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway to facilitating autophagy in intestinal epithelial cells and by modulating the gut microbiota.

Pteris cretica L. var. nervosa is one of the most well-known Chinese medicines. Although it is widely used to treat jaundice hepatitis, the main ingredient for its treatment was not thoroughly explored until recently. Essentially, the purpose of this study is to find the monomer compound in Pteris cretica L. var. nervosa , which is most likely to be effective in treating liver injury. Through the model of LPS/D-gal-induced liver injury in mice, the best therapeutic site of the total extract was explored, the chemical components of the parts with the best therapeutic effect were separated, a total of 10 flavonoids were isolated, and the RAW264.7 cells induced by LPS were used as the experimental model to explore the preliminary anti-inflammatory activity of NO production in vitro. Finally, the anti-inflammatory activity and the highest content in this plant Luteolin-7-O-rutinoside (LUT) were selected, as the object of study in vivo. It was found that LUT could not only reduce alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, but also significantly reduce the release of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and inhibit PI3K/AKT/AMPK/NF-κB pathway. In addition, LUT can increase levels of SOD and GSH to reduce oxidative stress. It has an obvious therapeutic effect on acute liver injury induced by LPS/D-gal in mice. Therefore, infer LUT is a functional substance in Pteris cretica L. var. nervosa. Graphical abstract

Polymer microspheres have recently shown outstanding potential for bone tissue engineering due to their large specific surface area, good porosity, injectable property, good biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Their good load-release function and surface modifiability make them useful as a carrier of drugs or growth factors for the repair of bone defects in irregularly injured or complex microenvironments, such as skull defects. In this study, berberine (BBR)-encapsulated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)/hydroxyapatite (HA) microspheres were fabricated using electrified liquid jets and a phase-separation technique, followed by modification with the 3,4-hydroxyphenalyalanine-containing recombinant insulin-like growth–factor-1 (DOPA-IGF-1). Both the BBR and the IGF-1 exhibited sustained release from the IGF-1@PLGA/HA-BBR microspheres, and the composite microspheres exhibited good biocompatibility. The results of the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assays showed that the BBR and IGF-1 in the composite microspheres synergistically promoted the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Furthermore, it was confirmed that immobilized IGF-1 enhances the mRNA expression of an osteogenic-related extracellular matrix and that BBR accelerates the mRNA expression of IGF-1-mediated osteogenic differentiation and cell mineralization. Further cellular studies demonstrate that IGF-1 could further synergistically activate the IGF-1R/PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway using BBR, thereby enhancing IGF-1-mediated osteogenesis. Rat calvarial defect repair experiments show that IGF-1@PLGA/HA-BBR microspheres can effectively promote the complete bony connection required to cover the defect site and enhance bone defect repair. These findings suggest that IGF-1@PLGA/HA-BBR composite microspheres show a great potential for bone regeneration.Keywords:polymer microspheres;berberine (BBR);IGF-1;bone regeneration;osteogenic differentiation

Paeonol (2'-hydroxy-4'-methoxyacetophenone) is an active component isolated from the root of Paeonia Suffruticosa Andrews. We previously found that paeonol inhibited vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM‑1) expression, and thus may be useful for the prevention and treatment of rabbit atherosclerosis (AS); however, the underlying mechanisms are not yet well known. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) have been reported to play an important role in the pathogenesis of AS. In the present study, we examined the effects of paeonol on miRNA-126 (miR‑126) expression, and its ability to inhibit monocyte adhesion to oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-injured vascular endothelial cells (VECs). VECs were isolated from the rat thoracic aorta and stimulated with ox-LDL (20 mg/l) in the presence of paeonol. We found that miR‑126 had a lower expression in the ox-LDL-injured VECs, and VCAM‑1 was identified as a target gene of miR‑126. Furthermore, paeonol promoted miR‑126 expression and suppressed VCAM‑1 expression at the mRNA and protein level. It also inhibited monocyte adhesion to ox-LDL-injured VECs through the promotion of miR‑126 expression. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that paeonol blocked the activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway by promoting miR-126 expression. Taken together, and to the best of our knowledge, the findings of this study provide the first evidence that paeonol promotes miR‑126 expression to inhibit monocyte adhesion to ox-LDL-injured VECs and block the activation of the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway. Our data suggest that miR‑126 plays a crucial role in vascular inflammation and may be an important therapeutic target in the treatment of AS with the use of paeonol.

Camellia oleifera Abel ( C. oleifera ) is a multifunctional oilseed, which is rich in many biological active substances with health-promoting properties, especially polyphenols. Previous research revealed that camellia oil phenolics exhibited anti-inflammatory effect, which originated from seed. Thus, we aimed to explore the components of camellia seed phenolics and its potential mechanism of anti-inflammation. Initially, fractional extraction was processed to prepare the phenolics from camellia seed kernels, and we compare four different fractions of phenolics under the LPS-induced Caco-2/RAW264.7 coculturing model. Results showed that free phenolics (FP) had best effect on alleviating pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α) compared to esterified-bound phenolics (EP), glycosylated-bound phenolics (GP) and insoluble-bound phenolics (IP). Furthermore, FP reduced inflammation by suppressing the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway and effectively inhibited LPS-induced intestinal permeability increase, tight junction related proteins loss (ZO-1, claudin-1). Same results obtained, as the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity of high-dose FP treated group was high than model group. Finally, molecular docking was used for evaluating the anti-inflammatory effect for phenolic monomer. KGRG (kaempferol −3-O-(2-O-glucopyranosyl-6-O-rhamnopyranosyl)-glucopyranoside), KXR (kaempferol 3-O-(2′’-xylopyranosyl)-rutinoside) and leucoside (kaempferol 3-O-sambubioside) show lower binding energy docking with NF-κB, PI3K and Akt protein, indicating better interactions, which might be effective constituents against inflammation. Subsequently, five major polyphenols were obtained to validate the docking results, especially, indicating the best anti-inflammatory activities of KGRG. Overall, this research sheds insights on the therapy of phenolics from C. oleifera seed towards LPS-induced intestinal inflammation model in vitro and its related mechanism.

Critical-sized bone defect regeneration remains a significant clinical challenge due to the complex cascade of biological processes involved. To address this, we developed a sophisticated hierarchical biomembrane (PCS@MPN10) designed to modulate the osteogenic microenvironment. Using coaxial electrospinning, we fabricated a core–shell structure with polylactic acid (PLA) as the membrane base, incorporating simvastatin in the core and chitosan in the shell. The membrane surface was further modified with a tannic acid-iron metal-polyphenol network coating. Our results demonstrated that the biomembrane exhibits excellent biocompatibility, photothermal properties, and significant antibacterial activity. Additionally, the membrane regulates the microenvironment by promoting M1-to-M2 macrophage polarization, showing strong osteogenic potential both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, PCS@MPN10+NIR modulates mitochondrial function through the PI3K-AKT pathway, clears mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), and alleviates cellular oxidative stress, thereby enhancing bone regeneration. Overall, these findings suggest that this biomembrane holds great promise as a strategy for improving bone regeneration in critical-sized defects.

Ethnopharmacological relevance Yuye Jiedu Granule (YYJD), a traditional herb preparation developed by Hunan Changde Sanjin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., has been used in clinical settings for many years to manage upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) attributed to exogenous wind-heat. Although its effectiveness is well recognized, the active constituents responsible for its effects and the molecular pathways involved are not clear yet. Aim of the study To identify the bioactive constituents of YYJD and elucidate its molecular mechanisms in treating URTI. Materials and methods Initially, the chemical composition of YYJD was analyzed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) in combination with a molecular networking approach. Anti-inflammatory components within the formula were then identified using a UPLC-based separation system and a dual-luciferase reporter gene screening assay, followed by in vitro validation. Subsequently, an acute pneumonia model was developed using Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection to comprehensively assess the therapeutic efficacy of YYJD through integrated transcriptomic, metabolomic, and network pharmacology analyses. Finally, the underlying molecular mechanisms were experimentally confirmed. Results A total of 145 chemical constituents were identified in YYJD, among which 15 were found to inhibit NF-κB. In vivo studies demonstrated that YYJD notably decreased mortality, lung indices, and serum pro-inflammatory cytokines in P. aeruginosa -infected mice. Integrated multi-omics analysis highlighted adenosine monophosphate (AMP) as a central metabolite, with major bioactive compounds classified as organic acids, flavonoids, iridoid glycosides, and triterpenoid saponins . Nine pivotal targets and the AMPK-mTORC1/2-PI3K/Akt/NF-κB axis were identified as central to YYJD’s anti-URTI effects. Mechanistically, YYJD modulated the phosphorylation of GSK3β, Akt, IκBα, mTOR, and AMPK, along with the p65 expression. Conclusion This study presents the first in-depth analysis of YYJD’s chemical profile and elucidates its multi-target therapeutic mechanisms against URTI through AMPK-centered metabolic-inflammatory interplay. These results offer a stronger scientific foundation for the clinical use of YYJD and introduce a potential new approach for treating respiratory infections.

Background IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a major and growing public health problem. Renal fibrosis plays a vital role in the progression of IgAN. This study is to investigate the mechanisms of action underlying the therapeutic effects of Shenbing Decoction II (SBDII) in IgAN renal fibrosis treatment based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), network pharmacology and experimental verification. Method We first used UPLC-MS/MS to explore the main compounds of SBDII, and then used network pharmacology to predict the targets and key pathways of SBDII in the treatment of IgAN renal fibrosis. Next, bovine serum albumin (BSA), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) were used to induce IgAN in rats, and then biochemical indicators, renal tissue pathology, and renal fibrosis-related indicators were examined. At the same time, part of the results predicted by network pharmacology were also verified. Result A total of 105 compounds were identified in SBDII by UPLC-MS/MS. Network pharmacology results showed that the active compounds such as acacetin, eupatilin, and galangin may mediate the therapeutic effects of SBDII in treating IgAN by targeting tumor protein p53 (TP53) and regulating phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt kinase (Akt) signaling pathway. Animal experiments showed that SBDII not only significantly improved renal function and fibrosis in IgAN rats, but also significantly downregulated the expressions of p53, p-PI3K and p -Akt. Conclusion This UPLC-MS/MS, network pharmacological and experimental study highlights that the TP53 as a target, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway are the potential mechanism by which SBDII is involved in IgAN renal fibrosis treatment. Acacetin, eupatilin, and galangin are probable active compounds in SBDII, these results might provide valuable guidance for further studies of IgAN renal fibrosis treatment.

This study aims to systematically characterize the protein and metabolite compositions of the secretome isolated from menstrual blood-derived endometrial stem cell (MenSC-S), elucidate its biological properties, explore potential active components and mechanisms of action as an acellular therapeutic agent, and provide a scientific foundation for advancing its clinical applications. A total of 878 shared proteins were identified in MenSC-S samples from volunteers of varying ages (25, 35, and 45 years), among which 242 were recognized as secretory proteins. The investigation revealed that the key protein heat shock protein family A member 8 (HSPA8) negatively regulates the assembly of the NLRP3 inflammasome complex by activating the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Untargeted metabolomic analysis indicated that metabolites present in MenSC-S play significant roles in biological processes such as nitrogen metabolism, amino acid synthesis, and detoxification. Integrated protein-metabolite analysis highlighted the considerable complexity of both proteome and metabolome along with their synergistic effects. Dialysis experiments confirmed that the metabolite fractions within MenSC-S are crucial for enhancing cell viability in both normal cells and those damaged by Cisplatin. This study partially elucidates the biological properties of MenSC-S along with potential molecular mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects. It not only identifies specific potential active components for developing acellular therapeutic strategies targeting various diseases based on MenSC-S but also establishes a foundation for further exploration into the clinical translation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their derivatives.
