A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF CHEMOTHERAPEUTICAGENTS IN COMBINATION WITH CHINESE HERBAL COMPOUNDS AS IMMUNOMODULATORS IN MOUSE S_(180)

The effect of the Chinese herbal compound (CHC) on solid sarcoma 180 (S180) in Swiss mice was studied either alone or in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5FU), cyclophosphamide (CYT) or mitomycin C (MMC). The preliminary results indicated that combination treatment seemed to possess better antitumor activity than chemotherapy alone. The treatment with CHC alone however had neither an obvious antitumor effect in tumor bearing mice nor toxicity in normal mice. These results show that CHC may stimulate organs of the immune system such as the spleen to be im-munomodulators and enhance the antitumor activity of some chemotherapeutic agents.

Herbal compound 861 regulates mRNA expression of collagen synthesis- and degradation-related genes in human hepatic stellate cells

AIM:To identify the role of herbal compound 861(Cpd 861)in the regulation of mRNA expression of collagen synthesis-and degradation-related genes in human hepatic stellate cells(HSCs). METHODS:mRNA levels of collagen typesⅠand III,matrix metalloproteinase 1(MMP-1),matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP-2),membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase(MT1-MMP),tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1(TIMP-1),and transforming growth factorβ1(TGF-β1)in cultured-activated HSCs treated with Cpd 861 or interferon-g(IFN-g)were determined by real-time PCR. RESULTS:Both Cpd 861 and IFN-g reduced the mRNA levels of collagen typeⅢ,MMP-2 and TGF-β1.Moreover, Cpd 861 significantly enhanced the MMP-1 mRNA levels while down-regulated the TIMP-1 mRNA expression, increasing the ratio of MMP-1 to TIMP-1 to(6.3+0.3)- fold compared to the control group. CONCLUSION:The anti-fibrosis function of Cpd 861 may be mediated by both decreased interstitial collagen sythesis by inhibiting the transcription of collagen type Ⅲand TGF-β1 and increased degradation of these collagens by up-regulating MMP-1 and down-regulating TIMP-1 mRNA levels.

Effects of drug serum of anti-fibrosis I herbal compound on calcium in hepatic stellate cell and its molecular mechanism

AIM: To investigate the effects of anti-fibrosis I herbal compound on intracellular Ca2+ in activated hepatic stellate cell (HSC) and to try to survey its molecular mechanism in treatment and prevention of hepatic fibrosis and portal hypertension.METHODS: The activated HSC line was plated on small glass cover slips in 24 wells culture dishes at a density of 5x106/mL, and incubated in RPMI-1640 media for 24 h.After the cells were loaded with Fluo-3/AM, intracellular Ca2+ was measured with laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). The dynamic changes of intracellular Ca2+,stimulated by carbon tetrachloride, TGF-β1 antibody and the drug serum of anti-fibrosis I herbal compound and under orthogonal design were determined by LSCM. The effect of anti-fibrosis I herbal compound on intracellular Ca2+ was observed before and after the addition of TGF-β1antibody.RESULTS: The intracellular Ca2+ were significantly different in different dosage of carbon tetrachloride anti-fibrosis Iformula drug serum, TGF-β1 antibody and different turn of these substance, but their interval time between CCl4and TGF-β1 antibody, CCl4 and anti-fibrosis I drug serum had no influence on intracellular Ca2+. The result showed intracellular Ca2+ wasn't significantly different between rat serum without anti-fibrosis I and untreated group.After carbon tetrachloride stimulation, intracellular Ca2+ of activated HSC increased significantly when the dosage of CCl4 from 5 to 15 mmol/L, however, decreased significantly after stimulation by 5-20 μg/mL TGF-β1antibody or 5-20 mL/L drug serum. Moreover, before and after the addition of TGF-β1 antibody, intracellular Ca2+was significantly different. These results suggested that the molecular mechanism was independent of blocking TGF-β1 effects.CONCLUSION: Anti-fibrosis I herbal compound may treat hepatic fibrosis and decrease portal hypertension by inhibiting activated HSC contractility through decrease of intracellular Ca2+.

Down-regulation of transforming growth factor β1/activin receptor-like kinase 1 pathway gene expression by herbal compound 861 is related to deactivation of LX-2 cells

AIM: To investigate the effect of herbal compound 861 (Cpd861) on the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1)/ activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ALK1, type Ⅰ receptor) signaling-pathway-related gene expression in the LX-2 cell line, and the inhibitory mechanism of Cpd861 on the activation of LX-2 cells. METHODS: LX-2 cells were treated with TGFβ1 (5 ng/mL) Cpd861 (0.1 mg/mL), TGFβ1 (5 ng/mL) plus Cpd861 (5 ng/mL) for 24 h to investigate the effect of Cpd861 on the TGFβ1/ALK1 pathway. Real-time PCR was performed to examine the expression of α-SMA (α-smooth muscle actin), ALK1, Id1 (inhibitor of differentiation 1). Western blotting was carried out to measure the levels of α-SMA and phosphorylated Smad1, and immunocytochemical analysis for the expression of α-SMA. RESULTS: In LX-2 cells, TGFβ1/ALK1-pathway-related gene expression could be stimulated by TGFβ1, which led to excessive activation of the cells. Cpd861 decreased the activation of LX-2 cells by reducing the expression of α-SMA mRNA and protein expression. This effect was related to inhibition of the above TGFβ1/ALK1-pathway- related expression of genes such as Id1 and ALK1, and phosphorylation of Smad1 in LX-2 cells, even with TGFβ1 co-treatment for 24 h. CONCLUSION: Cpd861 can restrain the activation of LX-2 cells by inhibiting the TGFβ1/ALK1/Smad1 pathway.

Effect of Chinese Herbal Compound Naofucong (脑复聪) on theInflammatory Process Induced by High Glucose in BV-2 Cells

Objective: To determine the effect of medicated serum of Chinese herbal compound Naofucong(脑复聪, NFC) on the microglia BV-2 cells viability and the transcription and expression of interleukin-6(IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α) in microglia BV-2 cells to further explore the mechanisms underlying the protective effect of NFC on inflammatory process induced by high glucose. Methods: The microglia BV-2 cells incubated in vitrowere divided into different groups: the control group(25 mmol/L glucose), the model group(75 mmol/L glucose), high glucose media containing different dose medicated serum of NFC. After being cultured for 24 h, changes in IL-6 and TNF-α were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of surface marker CD11 b of activated microglia was measured by confocal laser scanning microscope and Western blot. Nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) p-p65 expression was analyzed by Western blot. Results: The model group obviously increased the expression of microglial surface marker CD11 b and NF-κB p-p65(all P<0.01), induced a significant up-regulation of release and the m RNA expression of IL-6 and TNF-α(P<0.01 or P<0.05). The medicated serum of NFC could obviously down-regulate the transcription and expression of surface marker CD11 b and NF-κB p-p65(all P<0.01), and inhibit the m RNA and protein expression(P<0.01 or P<0.05) of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNF-α, in microglia BV-2 cells cultured with high glucose for 24 h. Conclusions: The inhibition of microglial activation and IL-6 and TNF-α expression induced by high glucose may at least partly explain NFC therapeutic effects on diabetes-associated cognitive decline diseases. Its underlying mechanism could probably be related to the inhibition of NFC on NF-κB phosphorylation.

Effects of Herbal Compound 861 on Collagen Synthesis and Degradation in Rat Mesangial Cells Exposed to High Glucose

Objective： To investigate the effects of Herbal Compound 861 （Cpd 861） on collagen synthesis and degradation in rat mesangial cells exposed to high glucose. Methods： The third to fifth passage of rat mesangial cells were exposed to high glucose and Cpd 861 at a concentration of 0.25-4.00 g/L for 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively. Benazepril （107-10s mmol/L） was selected as positive control. The methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium colorimetric assay was used to evaluate the effect of Cpd 861 on cell proliferation. After incubation with Cpd 861 at a concentration of 2.00 g/L for 48 h, the protein secretions of collagen type IV, matrix metallopeptidase 9 （MMP-9）, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 （TIMP-1）, transforming growth factor beta 1 （TGF-131）, and hepatocyte growth factor （HGF） were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. And rat mesangial cells were harvested to determine MMP-9, TIMP-1, TGF-131 and HGF mRNA expression by revers^transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results： Cpd 861 inhibited cell proliferation induced by high glucose in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Compared with high glucose, collagen type IV production was decreased significantly by Cpd 861 （P〈0.01）. Cpd 861 increased the protein secretions and mRNA expressions of MMP-9 and HGF, whereas the protein secretions and mRNA expressions of TIMP-1 and TGF-131 were reduced markedly （P〈0.05）. The ratio of MMP-9 to TIMP-1 was enhanced by Cpd 861 significantly. There was no significant difference in all above-mentioned effects between Cpd 861 （2.00 g/L） and benazepril （10-5 mmol/L）. Conclusion： The anti-glomerulosclerosis mechanisms of Cpd 861 were partly attributed to its effects of inhibiting mesangial cell proliferation, decreasing collagen synthesis and enhancing collagen degradation.

Suppressive effect of herbal compound 861 on chemical hepatocarcinogenesis in rats

Objective To investigate the effects of herbal compound 861 (Cpd861) on hepatocarcinogenesis induced by diethylntrosamine and 2-acetylaminofluorene (DEN-AAF) in female Sprague Dawley rats.Methods Liver preneoplastic foci were induced using the DEN-AAF method in female Sprague Dawley rats, which were then treated with Cpd861. For quantitative assessment of liver preneoplastic foci, the placental form of glutathione-S-transferase (GST-P) positive foci were measured using immunohistochemical staining and image analysis. GST-P protein expression was measured by Western blotting, mRNA expression was assessed by Northern blotting.Results Treatment using DEN-AAF caused a significant decrease in body weight and increase in liver weight compared to the control group. Oral Cpd861 administration essentially prevented DEN-AAF-induced body weight loss and liver weight increase. When 2-AAF was followed by treatment with Cpd861, there was a decrease in the number of large foci as compared to 2-AAF alone. However, there were still considerable numbers of small mixed clear/vacuolated cell foci, some of which were positive for GST-P. Significant increase in GST-P protein and mRNA expression were observed in the DEN-AAF group, while treatment with Cpd861 inhibited the increase. The effect of Cpd861 on hepatocarcinogenesis occurred in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion Chinese herbal compound Cpd861 prevents hepatocarcinogenesis in DEN-AAF-induced liver preneoplastic lesions in rats.
