Effect of Dendrobium nobile powder combined with conventional therapy on mild to moderate fatty liver

BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)encompasses a variety of liver conditions impacting individuals who consume minimal or no alcohol.Recently,traditional Chinese medicine has been gradually used to treat mild to moderate fatty liver,among which Dendrobium nobile Lindl.powder has been affirmed by many doctors and patients to be effective.However,there is limited research on combining this treatment with standard therapies for mild to moderate NAFLD.AIM To survey the effect of combining Dendrobium nobile Lindl.powder with standard treatment on liver function and lipid metabolism disorder in patients with mild to moderate NAFLD.METHODS Eighty patients with mild to moderate NAFLD participated in this retrospective study,classified into two groups:The observation group(n=40)and the control group(n=40).In November 2020 and November 2022,the study was conducted at People’s Hospital of Chongqing Liang Jiang New Area.The control group received standard treatment,while the observation group received Dendrobium nobile Lindl.powder based on the control group.The study compared differences in traditional Chinese medicine clinical syndrome scores,liver fibrosis treatment,liver function indicators,lipid levels,and serum inflammatory factor levels before and after treatment,and we calculated the incidence of adverse reactions for both groups.RESULTS The total effective rate was 97.50%in the observation group and 72.5%in the control group.After 8 weeks of treatment,the main and secondary symptom scores remarkably decreased,especially in the observation group(P<0.05),and there was a significant reduction in the serum levels of hyaluronic acid(HA),laminin(LN),human rocollagen III(PC III),and collagen type IV(CIV).The levels of HA,LN,PC III,and CIV were significantly lower in the observation group(P<0.05).After 8 weeks,both groups indicated remarkable improvements in liver function and blood lipid levels,with the observation group having even lower levels(P<0.05).Serum levels of interleukin-1β,tumor necrosis factor-α,and interleukin-8 also dropped significantly.The observation group had a lower rate of adverse reactions(5.00%)compared to the control group(22.50%).CONCLUSION Adding Dendrobium nobile Lindl.powder to standard treatment has been found to remarkably improve symptoms and reduce inflammation in patients with mild to moderate fatty liver disease.It also enhances hepatic function and lipid profile,ameliorates liver fibrosis indices,and lowers the risk of side effects.Consequently,this therapeutic protocol shows promise for clinical implementation and dissemination.

Metabolic and transcriptomic analyses elucidate a novel insight into the network for biosynthesis of carbohydrate and secondary metabolites in the stems of a medicinal orchid Dendrobium nobile

Dendrobium nobile is an important medicinal and nutraceutical herb.Although the ingredients of D.nobile have been identified as polysaccharides,alkaloids,amino acids,flavonoids and bibenzyls,our understanding of the metabolic pathways that regulate the synthesis of these compounds is limited.Here,we used transcriptomic and metabolic analyses to elucidate the genes and metabolites involved in the biosynthesis of carbohydrate and several secondary metabolites in the stems of D.nobile.A total of 1005 metabolites and 31,745 genes were detected in the stems of D.nobile.The majority of these metabolites and genes were involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates(fructose,mannose,glucose,xylulose and starch),while some were involved in the metabolism of secondary metabolites(alkaloids,β-tyrosine,ferulic acid,4-hydroxybenzoate and chrysin).Our predicted regulatory network indicated that five genes(AROG,PYK,DXS,ACEE and HMGCR) might play vital roles in the transition from carbohydrate to alkaloid synthesis.Correlation analysis identified that six genes(ALDO,PMM,BGLX,EGLC,XYLB and GLGA) were involved in carbohydrate metabolism,and two genes(ADT and CYP73A) were involved in secondary metabolite biosynthesis.Our analyses also indicated that phosphoenol-pyruvate(PEP) was a crucial bridge that connected carbohydrate to alkaloid biosynthesis.The regulatory network between carbohydrate and secondary metabolite biosynthesis established will provide important insights into the regulation of metabolites and biological systems in Dendrobium species.

Antioxidant phenanthrenes and lignans from Dendrobium nobile

To study the antioxidant constituents from the stems of Dendrobium nobile, and to discuss theft structure-activity relationship. Compounds were isolated from a 60% ethanolic extract by various chromatographic techniques and were identified by spectral analysis. The antioxidant activities of compounds were evaluated by DPPH free radical scavenging assay. Five phenanthrenes and four lignans were obtained from the active fractions ofD. nobile. Their structures were identified as fimbriatone （1）, confusarin （2）, flavanthrinin （3）, 2,5-dihydroxy-4,9-dimethoxyphenanthrene （4）, 3,7-dihydroxy-2,4-dimethoxyphenanthrene （5）, syringaresinol （6）, pinoresinol （7）, medioresinol （8） and lirioresinol-A （9）, respectively. Compounds 2 and 6 exhibited more potent DPPH scavenging activities than vitamin C. All the above compounds were reported from this plant for the first time, and compounds 3, 4 and 9 were reported for the first time from the genus of Dendrobiurn. For all phenanthrenes and lignans, an electron-donating methoxyl group in the ortho position to the phenolic hydroxyl group exhibits enhanced antioxidant activities.

Protective effects of Dendrobium nobile Lindl. alkaloids on amyloid beta(25–35)-induced neuronal injury

Dendrobium nobile Lindl.alkaloids（DNLA）,the active ingredients of a traditional Chinese medicine Dendrobium,have been shown to have anti-oxidative effects,anti-inflammatory action,and protective effect on neurons against oxygen-glucose deprivation.However,it is not clear whether DNLA reduces amyloid-beta（Aβ）-induced neuronal injury.In this study,cortical neurons were treated with DNLA at different concentrations（0.025,0.25,and 2.5 mg/L）for 24 hours,followed by administration of Aβ（25-35）（10μM）.Aβ（25-35） treatments increased cell injury as determined by the leakage of lactate dehydrogenase,which was accompanied by chromatin condensation and mitochondrial tumefaction.The damage caused by Aβ（25-35） on these cellular properties was markedly attenuated when cells were pretreated with DNLA.Treatment with Aβ（25-35）down-regulated the expressions of postsynaptic density-95 mRNA and decreased the protein expression of synaptophysin and postsynaptic density-95,all changes were significantly reduced by pretreatment of cells with DNLA.These findings suggest that DNLA reduces the cytotoxicity induced by Aβ（25-35） in rat primary cultured neurons.The protective mechanism that DNLA confers on the synaptic integrity of cultured neurons might be mediated,at least in part,through the upregulation of neurogenesis related proteins synaptophysin and postsynaptic density-95.

Influence of light intensity and water content of medium on total dendrobine of Dendrobium nobile Lindl

Objective: To ascertain the influence of light intensity and water content of medium on the total dendrobine of Dendrobium nobile(D. nobile).Method: The principal component analysis combined with total dendrobine accumulation was conducted to assess the yield and quality of D. nobile in all treatments. In the experiment, D. nobile plants were cultivated in greenhouse as tested materials, and complete test of 9 treatments was adopted with relative light intensities 75.02%, 39.74%,29.93% and relative water content of medium 50%, 65%, 80%. The plants were treated in June and harvested till December. Indexes including agronomic traits, fresh weight and dry weight of stem and leaf, ash content, extract, and dendrobine were measured.Results: Under the light intensity treatments of 75.02% with 50%, 65%, 80% water content of medium, the basal stems of plants were comparatively thicker with more leaves, and the fresh weight and dry weight of stems and leaves were significantly higher than other 6 treatments.Leaves in all treatments contained dendrobine. Under the light intensity treatments of 75.02%with 50%, 65%, 80% water content of medium, dendrobine content of leaves was lower while dendrobine contents of other treatments were more than 0.60%. After comprehensive assessment through the principal component analysis and total dendrobine accumulation, the results showed that 3 treatments with relative light intensity of 75.02% ranked the top three.Conclusions: In brief, the moderately strong light intensity and water content of medium from low to medium can facilitate the growth and yield of D. nobile plants, while light intensity from moderately weak to weak can enhance the dendrobine content.

Dendrobium nobile Lindl. alkaloids alleviate Mn-induced neurotoxicity via PINK1/Parkinmediated mitophagy in PC12 cells

OBJECTIVE Activation of the PINK1/Parkin-mediated autophagy pathway has been proposed to play a protective role in the development of neurological disorders through the elimination of damaged macromolecules or organelles.Exposure to excessive manganese(Mn) causes neurotoxicity and can produce a Parkinson disease(PD)-like neurological disorder.Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are implicated in the mechanism of Mn induced neurotoxicity.The present study was designed to determine whether Dendrobium nobile Lindl.alkaloids(DNLA),a Chinese medicinal herb extract,confers protective function over Mn-induced cell toxicity,and to investigate whether the modulation of PINK1/Parkin-mediated autophagy is involved in the mechanism of DNLA-mediated cell protection over Mn toxicity.METHODS AND RESULTS Rat adrenal pheochromocytoma PC12 cells were utilized as an in vitro model of Mn cell toxicity.It was found that the treatment of the PC12 cells with Mn resulted in concentration-dependent cell death,accompanied by a decrease in mitochondrial respiration capacity and an increase in ROS generation,whereas pretreatment of cells with DNLA significantly alleviated cell toxicity induced by Mn and improved mitochondrial function and oxidative status.Mn treatment enhanced apoptotic cells along with a marked increase in the protein expression of Bax and a decrease in the expression of Bcl-2 protein.On the contrary,DNLA increased Bcl-2 expression,and concomitantly dramatically decreased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio.Analysis of the expression of PINK1 and Parkin revealed that pretreatment of cells with DNLA significantly alleviated the decrease in protein levels of both PINK1 and Parkin caused by Mn.Furthermore,cells treated with Mn exhibited increased expression of LC3-Ⅱ and a decrease in accumulation of P62,which was noticeably reversed by the pretreatment of cells with DNLA.CONCLUSION DNLA inhibits Mn induced cytotoxicity,which may be mediated through modulating PINK1/Parkin-mediated autophagic flux and improving mitochondrial function.

Dendrobium nobile protects against ovalbumin-induced allergic rhinitis by regulating intestinal flora and suppressing lung inflammation

Antibiotic exposure-induced dysbiosis of the intestinal flora increases the risk of developing allergic rhinitis.Hence,regulating the balance of intestinal flora may be useful for preventing and treating allergic rhinitis.However,the underlying mechanism is unclear.Dendrobium nobile(Shihu)exhibits anti-inflammatory and immune activities.Hence,in this study,we investigated the mechanism via which Shihu may improve allergic rhinitis.Mouse models of allergic rhinitis with intestinal flora dysbiosis(Model-D,antibiotics induce intestinal flora dysbiosis with ovalbumin-induced allergy)and normal intestinal flora with allergic rhinitis(Model-N,ovalbumin-induced allergy)were established.The effect of Shihu on intestinal flora and inflammation caused during allergic rhinitis were analyzed.Allergic symptoms,infiltration of hematoxylin and eosin in the lungs and nose,and the release of various factors[interleukin(IL)-2,IL-4,IFN-y,IL-6,IL-10,and IL-17]in the lungs were evaluated.The results indicate that intestinal flora dysbiosis exacerbated lung and nose inflammation in allergic rhinitis.However,treatment with the Shihu extract effectively reversed these symp-toms.Besides,the Shihu extract inhibited the PI3K/AXT/mTOR pathway and increased the level of Forkhead box protein in the lungs.Additionally,the Shihu extract reversed intestinal flora dysbiosis at the phylum and genus levels and improved regulator T cell differentiation.Furthermore,in the Model-D group,the Shihu extract inhibited the decrease in the diversity and abundance of the intestinal flora.Screening was performed to determine which intestinal flora was positively correlated with Treg differentiation using Spearman5 s correlation analysis.In conclusion,we showed that Shihu extract restored the balance in intestinal flora and ameliorated inflammation in the lungs of allergic rhinitis mice and predicted a therapeutic new approach using Traditional Chinese Medicine to improve allergic rhinitis.
