Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is the cellular re- source for liver fibrogenesis, while transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is most potent fibrogenic factor. In this study we investigated the mechanism of SA-B action against liver fibrosis relating to the interference with TGF- β1 signaling at HSC. METHODS: Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) were isolated, cultured, and incubated with SA-B. The TGF-β1 content in the supernatant of subcultured HSCs was assayed with ELISA. Type I collagen and Smad3 protein in TGF-β1-sti- mulated primarily cultured HSCs for 4 days were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: TGF-β1 secreted in activated HSCs was more than in primary HSCs, and SA-B significantly decreased TGF-β1 secretion in activated HSCs. TGF-β1 increased the expression of type I collagen and Smad3 protein in d4 pri- mary HSCs, while SA-B inhibited their expression. CONCLUSIONS: SA-B inhibits TGF-β1 secretion in activa- ted HSCs and counteracts the expression of TGF-β1 stimu- lated type I collagen and Smad3. These actions are associat- ed with the effect of SA-B on liver fibrosis.展开更多

Cytochrome P450 isoenzymes (CYPs) are the most important phase I enzymes in the metabolism of xenobiotics. The products of phase I metabolism are then acted upon by phase II enzymes, including glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). Herbs that inhibit CYPs such as CYP3A4 or that induce GSTs may have the potential to protect against chemical carcinogenesis since the mutagenic effects of carcinogens are often mediated through an excess of CYP-generated reactive intermediates. This study was designed to investigate the effects of salvianolic acid B (Sal B), a pure compound extracted from Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, a Chinese herb, on cell proliferation and CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 mRNA expression in the presence or absence of rifampicin, a potent inducer of CYPs and GST protein expression in HepG2 cells. METHODS: HepG2 cells were incubated with different concentrations of Sal B. Cell proliferation was determined by SYTOX-Green nucleic acid staining. CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 mRNA expression was assayed by real-time PCR. GST protein expression was analyzed by Western blotting. RESULTS: Low concentrations of Sal B (0-20 μmol/L) had no significant effects on cell proliferation, while higher concentrations (100-250 μmol/L) significantly inhibited proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. Ten μmol/L Sal B, but not 1 μmol/L, down-regulated CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 mRNA expression after 24 hours of incubation, whereas both 1 and 10 μmol/L Sal B down-regulated CYP3A4mRNA expression after 96 hours of incubation; moreover, 1 and 10 μmol/L Sal B inhibited CYP3A4 mRNA expression induced by rifampicin. Both 1 μmol/L and 10 μmol/L Sal B increased GST expression. CONCLUSION: Sal B inhibits CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 mRNA expression and induces GST expression in HepG2 cells.展开更多

METHODS Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was used to measure cell viability. Apoptosis and death were assayed through flow cytometry. Brd U incorporation was used to detect cell proliferation. Serum alanine aminotransferase activity and liver malondialdehyde(MDA) content were measured. Liver histopathological changes were evaluated using hematoxylin-eosin staining. Lysosomal membrane permeability was detected with Lyso Tracker Green-labeled probes and acridine orange staining. The levels of protein carbonyl content(PCC), cathepsins(Cat)B/D, and lysosome-associated membrane protein 1(LAMP1) were evaluated through western blotting. Cytosol Cat B activity analysis was performed with chemiluminescence detection. The m RNA level ofLAMP1 was evaluated through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Results indicated that H_2O_2 induced cell injury/death. Sal B attenuated H_2O_2-induced cell apoptosis and death, restored the inhibition of proliferation, decreased the amount of PCC, and stabilized the lysosome membrane by increasing the LAMP1 protein level and antagonizing Cat B/D leakage into the cytosol. CCl_4 also triggered hepatocyte death. Furthermore, Sal B effectively rescued hepatocytes by increasing LAMP1 expression and by reducing lysosomal enzyme translocation to the cytosol.CONCLUSION Sal B protected mouse embryonic hepatocytes from H_2O_2/CCl_4-induced injury/death by stabilizing the lysosomal membrane.展开更多

The present study investigated whether Sal B has a neuroprotective effect on secondary spinal cord injury when administrated alone. In addition, the effects of Sal B on attenuating expression of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） following acute spinal cord injury were analyzed, as well as the effects of combined treatment of Sal B and etanercept. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that Sal B significantly reduced matrix metalloproteinase-1 and c-Fos expression at 24 hours after spinal cord injury, and decreased tissue edema was detected using the dry-wet weight method at 3 days after injury. In addition, Sal B significantly promoted recovery of motor function in rats. These effects were most significant at a dose of 20 mg/kg Sal B. At 24 hours after spinal cord injury, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blot assay results showed that Sal B, etanercept, or the combination significantly suppressed increased TNF-α mRNA and protein expression, although the combination resulted in more significant outcomes. These results suggested that Sal B exerted neuroprotective effects against secondary spinal cord injury by reducing expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1, c-Fos, and TNF-α. Moreover, Sal B combined with etanercept resulted in more significant anti-inflammatory effects.展开更多

To better understand its mechanism, the antioxidant capacities of Sal B was evaluated with human endothelial cells under oxidative stress. Human endothelial cells were pretreated with Sal B for 12 h followed by hydrogen peroxide for another 12 h. Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and concentration of glu-tathione were measured. Protective effect of Sal B on the endothelial cells from hydrogen peroxide-induced damage was observed, and ROS production in the cells was found significantly inhibited. Sal B remarkably enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes SOD, CAT and GPX. Furthermore, Sal B up-regulated the intracellular glu-tathione concentration. The results indicate that Sal B protected endothelial cells from oxidative stress by improving the redox status of the cells through enhancing the antioxidant enzyme activities and increasing the reductive glu-tathione concentration after the oxidative challenge.展开更多

The results showed that the proton selective relaxation rates and the molecular rotational correlation time of proton pairs for compounds 1 and 2 increased significantly by adding of AChE in mixing solution. The study reveals that the two compounds might bind to the enzyme and have ACHE inhibitory effect, which could contribute to the ameliorating effect at some extent on old ages memory disorder.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND: Salvianolic acid B (SA-B), one of water soluble compounds derived from Radix salviae miltiorrhizae, had good action against liver fibrosis of patients with chro- nic hepatitis. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is the cellular re- source for liver fibrogenesis, while transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is most potent fibrogenic factor. In this study we investigated the mechanism of SA-B action against liver fibrosis relating to the interference with TGF- β1 signaling at HSC. METHODS: Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) were isolated, cultured, and incubated with SA-B. The TGF-β1 content in the supernatant of subcultured HSCs was assayed with ELISA. Type I collagen and Smad3 protein in TGF-β1-sti- mulated primarily cultured HSCs for 4 days were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: TGF-β1 secreted in activated HSCs was more than in primary HSCs, and SA-B significantly decreased TGF-β1 secretion in activated HSCs. TGF-β1 increased the expression of type I collagen and Smad3 protein in d4 pri- mary HSCs, while SA-B inhibited their expression. CONCLUSIONS: SA-B inhibits TGF-β1 secretion in activa- ted HSCs and counteracts the expression of TGF-β1 stimu- lated type I collagen and Smad3. These actions are associat- ed with the effect of SA-B on liver fibrosis.

文摘BACKGROUND: Enzymes involved in drug and xenobiotic metabolism have been considered to exist in two groups: phase I and phase II enzymes. Cytochrome P450 isoenzymes (CYPs) are the most important phase I enzymes in the metabolism of xenobiotics. The products of phase I metabolism are then acted upon by phase II enzymes, including glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). Herbs that inhibit CYPs such as CYP3A4 or that induce GSTs may have the potential to protect against chemical carcinogenesis since the mutagenic effects of carcinogens are often mediated through an excess of CYP-generated reactive intermediates. This study was designed to investigate the effects of salvianolic acid B (Sal B), a pure compound extracted from Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, a Chinese herb, on cell proliferation and CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 mRNA expression in the presence or absence of rifampicin, a potent inducer of CYPs and GST protein expression in HepG2 cells. METHODS: HepG2 cells were incubated with different concentrations of Sal B. Cell proliferation was determined by SYTOX-Green nucleic acid staining. CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 mRNA expression was assayed by real-time PCR. GST protein expression was analyzed by Western blotting. RESULTS: Low concentrations of Sal B (0-20 μmol/L) had no significant effects on cell proliferation, while higher concentrations (100-250 μmol/L) significantly inhibited proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner. Ten μmol/L Sal B, but not 1 μmol/L, down-regulated CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 mRNA expression after 24 hours of incubation, whereas both 1 and 10 μmol/L Sal B down-regulated CYP3A4mRNA expression after 96 hours of incubation; moreover, 1 and 10 μmol/L Sal B inhibited CYP3A4 mRNA expression induced by rifampicin. Both 1 μmol/L and 10 μmol/L Sal B increased GST expression. CONCLUSION: Sal B inhibits CYP3A4 and CYP1A2 mRNA expression and induces GST expression in HepG2 cells.

文摘Salvianolic acid B(Sal B)is a polyphenolic antioxidant that has been shown to have anti-lipid accumulation,anti-inflammatory,and free oxygen radical scavenging activities in various diseases.Here,we aimed to examine whether Sal B could alleviate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and explore the possible mechanisms.Signaling pathways involved in oxidative stress,including SIRT3,SOD2,and FOXO1 pathways,were investigated by Western blotting analysis,RT-qPCR,and immunoprecipitation(IP).In the present study,oleic acid(OA)successfully induced lipid and peroxide accumulation,decreased SIRT3 expression,and increased FOXO1 acetylation.However,Sal B significantly reversed these trends.SIRT3 plasmid transfection further reduced the expression of acetylated FOXO1 and considerably enhanced the regulation of SIRT3 and acetylated FOXO1 induced by Sal B.Following SIRT3 siRNA transfection,Sal B-induced down-regulation of acetylated FOXO1 was blocked,suggesting that Sal B-mediated protection occurred through SIRT3-mediated FOXO1 deacetylation.The SIRT3/FOXO1 pathway was a critical therapeutic target for controlling oxidative stress in NAFLD,and Sal B conferred protection against OA-induced hepatic steatosis and oxidative stress through SIRT3-mediated FOXO1 deacetylation.

文摘Salvianolic acid B,an active pharmaceutical compound present in Salvia miltiorrhiza,exerts a neuroprotective effect in animal models of brain and spinal cord injury.Salvianolic acid B can promote recovery of neurological function;however,its protective effect on the myelin sheath after spinal cord injury remains poorly understood.Thus,in this study,in vitro tests showed that salvianolic acid B contributed to oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation,and the most effective dose was 20μg/m L.For in vivo investigation,rats with spinal cord injury were intraperitoneally injected with 20 mg/kg salvianolic acid B for 8 weeks.The amount of myelin sheath and the number of regenerating axons increased,neurological function recovered,and caspase-3 expression was decreased in the spinal cord of salvianolic acid B-treated animals compared with untreated control rats.These results indicate that salvianolic acid B can protect axons and the myelin sheath,and can promote the recovery of neurological function.Its mechanism of action is likely to be associated with inhibiting apoptosis and promoting the differentiation and maturation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells.

文摘Vascular endothelial cells and oxidation reduction system play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis(AS).If these conditions are disordered,it will inevitably lead to plaque formation and even rupture.Astragaloside IV(AsIV)and salvianolic acid B(Sal B)are the main active ingredients of Astragalus membranaceus and Salvia miltiorrhiza,respectively,and found to ameliorate vascular endothelial dysfunction and protect against oxidative stress in recent studies.However,it is still unknown if the combination of AsIV and Sal B(AsIV+Sal B)can inhibit the development of plaque through amplifying the protective effect of vascular endothelial cells and anti-oxidative stress effect.To clarify the role of AsIV+Sal B in AS,we observed the efficacy of each group(Control,Model,AsIV,Sal B,and AsIV+Sal B)by biomolecular assays,such as observing the pathological morphology of the aorta by oil red O staining,evaluating the level of oxidative stress and endothelial cells in the serum by the Elisa test,and analyzing the changes of all small molecule metabolites in liver tissue by UPLC-QTOF-MS.Results showed that AsIV,Sal B and AsIV+Sal B decreased the deposition of lipid in the arterial wall,so as to exert the effect of anti-oxidant stress and vascular endothelial protection,where the inhibitory effect of AsIV+Sal B was the most obvious.Metabonomics analysis showed that Sal B regulated the metabolic pathways of arginine and proline.AsIV regulated glycerol metabolism and saturated fatty acid biosynthesis metabolism.AsIV+Sal B is mainly related to the regulation of the citrate cycle(TCA cycle),alanine,aspartic acid,and glutamate metabolism,cysteine,and methionine metabolism.Succinic acid and methionine are synergistic metabolites that exert an enhancing effect when AsIV and Sal B were used in combination.In conclusion,we demonstrated that AsIV acompanied with Sal B can be successfully used for anti-oxidative stress and vascular endothelial protection of AS,and succinic acid and methionine are the synergistic metabolites.

文摘Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF)is a serious and fatal pulmonary inflammatory disease with an increasing incidenceworldwide.The drugs nintedanib and pirfenidone,are listed as conditionally recommended drugs in the“Evidence-Based Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis”.However,these two drugs have many adverse reactions in clinical application.Salvianolic acid B(Sal B),a water-soluble component of Salvia miltiorrhiza,could alleviate bleomycin-induced peroxidative stress damage,and prevent or delay the onset of IPF by regulating inflammatory factors and fibrotic cytokines during the disease’s progression.However,Sal B is poorly absorbed orally,and patient compliance is poor when administered intravenously.Therefore,there is an urgent need to find a new non-injection route of drug delivery.In this study,Sal B was used as model drug and l-leucine(LL)as excipient to prepare Sal B dry powder inhaler(Sal B-DPI)by spray drying method.Modern preparation evaluation methods were used to assess the quality of Sal B-DPI.Sal B-DPI is promising for the treatment of IPF,according to studies on pulmonary irritation evaluation,in vivo and in vitro pharmacodynamics,metabolomics,pharmacokinetics,and lung tissue distribution.

文摘AIM To investigate the capability of salvianolic acid B(Sal B) to protect hepatocytes from hydrogen peroxide(H_2O_2)/carbon tetrachloride(CCl_4)-induced lysosomal membrane permeabilization. METHODS Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was used to measure cell viability. Apoptosis and death were assayed through flow cytometry. Brd U incorporation was used to detect cell proliferation. Serum alanine aminotransferase activity and liver malondialdehyde(MDA) content were measured. Liver histopathological changes were evaluated using hematoxylin-eosin staining. Lysosomal membrane permeability was detected with Lyso Tracker Green-labeled probes and acridine orange staining. The levels of protein carbonyl content(PCC), cathepsins(Cat)B/D, and lysosome-associated membrane protein 1(LAMP1) were evaluated through western blotting. Cytosol Cat B activity analysis was performed with chemiluminescence detection. The m RNA level ofLAMP1 was evaluated through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Results indicated that H_2O_2 induced cell injury/death. Sal B attenuated H_2O_2-induced cell apoptosis and death, restored the inhibition of proliferation, decreased the amount of PCC, and stabilized the lysosome membrane by increasing the LAMP1 protein level and antagonizing Cat B/D leakage into the cytosol. CCl_4 also triggered hepatocyte death. Furthermore, Sal B effectively rescued hepatocytes by increasing LAMP1 expression and by reducing lysosomal enzyme translocation to the cytosol.CONCLUSION Sal B protected mouse embryonic hepatocytes from H_2O_2/CCl_4-induced injury/death by stabilizing the lysosomal membrane.

文摘The work aims to investigate the in vitro release,pharmacokinetics(PK),pharmacodynamics(PD)and PK-PD relationships of Salvianolic Acid B micro-porous osmotic pump pellets(SalB-MPOPs)in angina pectoris New Zealand White(NZW)rabbits,compared with those of SalB immediate-release pellets(SalB-IRPs).The SalB plasma concentrations and Superoxide dismutase levels(PD index)were recorded continuously at predetermined time interval after administration,and the related parameters were calculated by using Win-Nonlin software.The release profile of MPOPs was more sustained than that of IRPs.PK results indicated that the mean C_(max)was significantly lower,the SalB plasma concentrations were steadier,both area under concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h(AUC_(0-24 h))and from 0 to infinity(AUC_(0-∞))were presented larger,and both the peak concentration time(T_(max))and mean residence time(MRT)were prolonged for MPOPs,as compared with those of IRPs.PD results suggested that peak drug effect(E_(max))was lower and the equilibration rate constant(k_(e0))between the central compartment and the effect compartment was higher of MPOPs vs.those of IRPs.PKePD relationships demonstrated that the effectconcentration-time(ECT)course of MPOPs was clockwise hysteresis loop,and that of IRPs was counter-clockwise hysteresis loop.Collectively,those results demonstrated that MPOPs were potential formulations in treating angina pectoris induced by atherosclerosis.

文摘Salvianolic acid B （Sal B）, an effective ingredient of Danshen （salvia miltiorrhiza root）, has been shown to exhibit anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. The present study investigated whether Sal B has a neuroprotective effect on secondary spinal cord injury when administrated alone. In addition, the effects of Sal B on attenuating expression of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） following acute spinal cord injury were analyzed, as well as the effects of combined treatment of Sal B and etanercept. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that Sal B significantly reduced matrix metalloproteinase-1 and c-Fos expression at 24 hours after spinal cord injury, and decreased tissue edema was detected using the dry-wet weight method at 3 days after injury. In addition, Sal B significantly promoted recovery of motor function in rats. These effects were most significant at a dose of 20 mg/kg Sal B. At 24 hours after spinal cord injury, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blot assay results showed that Sal B, etanercept, or the combination significantly suppressed increased TNF-α mRNA and protein expression, although the combination resulted in more significant outcomes. These results suggested that Sal B exerted neuroprotective effects against secondary spinal cord injury by reducing expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1, c-Fos, and TNF-α. Moreover, Sal B combined with etanercept resulted in more significant anti-inflammatory effects.

文摘Salvianolic acid B(Sal B) is an active component of traditional Chinese medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza and is used to treat vascular diseases. To better understand its mechanism, the antioxidant capacities of Sal B was evaluated with human endothelial cells under oxidative stress. Human endothelial cells were pretreated with Sal B for 12 h followed by hydrogen peroxide for another 12 h. Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and concentration of glu-tathione were measured. Protective effect of Sal B on the endothelial cells from hydrogen peroxide-induced damage was observed, and ROS production in the cells was found significantly inhibited. Sal B remarkably enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes SOD, CAT and GPX. Furthermore, Sal B up-regulated the intracellular glu-tathione concentration. The results indicate that Sal B protected endothelial cells from oxidative stress by improving the redox status of the cells through enhancing the antioxidant enzyme activities and increasing the reductive glu-tathione concentration after the oxidative challenge.

文摘In order to understand whether the ameliorating effect on old ages memory disorder by the root of Salvia miltiorhiza is related to the acetylcholinesterase （ACHE） inhibition, two main ingredients, salvianolic acid B （1） and rosmarinic acid （2）, which were isolated from S. miltiorhiza water extract, were investigated in vitro by NMR relaxation rate in this work. The results showed that the proton selective relaxation rates and the molecular rotational correlation time of proton pairs for compounds 1 and 2 increased significantly by adding of AChE in mixing solution. The study reveals that the two compounds might bind to the enzyme and have ACHE inhibitory effect, which could contribute to the ameliorating effect at some extent on old ages memory disorder.

文摘This study investigates a novel pH-responsive hydrogel composed of polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)and boric acid(BA)designed for the con-trolled release of salvianolic acid B(SAB),addressing the critical challenge of scar formation and skin regeneration.The dual-crosslinked network architecture of the hydrogel exhibits remark-able pH sensitivity,enabling it to achieve a peak SAB release within 48 hours in the acidic microenvironment characteristic of early-stage wound healing.In vitro assessments demonstrated that the PVA-BA-SAB hydrogel significantly inhibits fibroblast acti-vation and mitigates abnormal collagen deposition,effectively preventing excessive scar formation.Transcriptome sequencing reveals the potential role of PVA-BA-SAB hydrogel in balancing TGF-βand Wnt signaling pathways.Furthermore,in vivo studies revealed enhanced tissue regeneration,characterized by improved collagen organization and increased vascularization,as well as the promotion of mature hair follicle development.The hydrogel’s biocompatibility,mechanical robustness and adhesive properties were also thor-oughly evaluated,confirming its suitability for clinical applications.These findings suggest that the PVA-BA-SAB hydrogel fully exerts the excellent characteristics of biomaterials and maximizes the pharmacological effect of SAB.Our innovative drug delivery system not only facilitates enhanced wound healing but also offers a strategic approach to minimize scarring.This research provides valuable insights into innovative therapeutic strategies for effective wound management and tissue repair.

文摘Background Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury is the main reason for the loss of neurons in the ischemic cerebrovascular disease.Therefore,to deeply understand its pathogenesis and find a new target is the key issue to be solved.This research aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of salvianolic acid B(SalB)against oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion(OGD/RP)damage in primary rat cortical neurons.Methods The primary cultures of neonatal Wister rats were randomly divided into the control group,the OGD/RP group and the SalB-treatment group(10 mg/L).The cell model was established by depriving of oxygen and glucose for 3 hours and reperfusion for 3 hours and 24 hours,respectively.The neuron viability was determined by MTT assay.The level of cellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)was detected by fluorescent labeling method and spin trapping technique respectively.The activities of neuronal Mn-superoxide dismutase(Mn-SOD),catalase(CAT)and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX)were assayed by chromatometry.The mitochondria membrane potential(△ψm)was quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometry.The release rate of cytochrome c was detected by Western blotting.The neuronal ultrastructure was observed by transmission electron microscopy.Statistical significance was evaluated by analysis of variance(ANOVA)followed by Student-Newman-Keuls test.Results OGD/RP increased the level of cellular ROS,but decreased the cell viability and the activities of Mn-SOD,CAT and GSH-PX;SalB treatment significantly reduced the level of ROS(P<0.05);and enhanced the cell viability(P<0.05)and the activities of these antioxidases(P<0.05).Additionally,OGD/RP induced the fluorescence value of△ψm to diminish and the release rate of cytochrome c to rise notably;SalB markedly elevated the level of△ψm(P<0.01)and depressed the release rate of cytochrome c(P<0.05);it also ameliorated the neuronal morphological injury.Conclusion The neuroprotection of SalB may be attributed to the elimination of ROS and the inhibition of apoptosis.
