Project description:Heart failure (HF), a major health concern worldwide, with high morbidity and mortality, renders the urgent need for new treatments. Lingguizhugan decoction (LD), a classic Chinese formula, has been clinically used to treat HF. However, the molecular mechanisms involved are not fully elucidated. In this study, we first used the experimental model of transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-induced HF in C57BL/6J mice to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of LD. Our results showed that LD exerted protective effects against TAC-induced HF by alleviating cardiac dysfunction and cardiac dilation, which might be associated with LD’s effects on down-regulating CH-related gene and protein expression. To further reveal the potential molecular mechanisms of LD in the treatment of HF, we utilized the network pharmacology to predict the core targets and potential pathways and further utilized the transcriptomics to provide changed gene profile in the heart tissue. Our results suggested that cardiac hypertrophy signaling including AKT and MAPKs signaling pathways were significantly enriched, indicating that these pathways may be the major regulatory for LD on HF treatment. Furthermore, the protein levels in AKT-GSK3β/mTOR and MAPKs pathway were determined in both compensated and decompensated states. LD inhibited the MAPKs activation, especially, reducing phosphorylated levels of p38 from the compensated state and phosphorylated levels of ERK from the decompensated state, and the latter might depend on the regulation of AMPK by LD. Moreover, LD exerts a dual role in regulating AKT-GSK3β/mTOR/P70S6K signaling pathway, characterized by active effects in the compensated state, and inhibitory effects in the decompensated state. The regulatory effect of LD on mTOR might rely on activating AKT in the compensatory state, while might be jointly determined by AKT and AMPKαin the decompensated state. Finally, by using UPLC-QE-MS/MS analysis, we detected 62 compounds in LD extract, and found 19 of which were detected in plasma of rats. Among them, 17 bioactive compounds likely regulate AKT-GSK3β/mTOR and MAPKs signaling pathway by using bioinformatics prediction. Taken together, our study showed that LD did have a better therapeutic effect on HF via dynamically balancing AKT-GSK3β/mTOR/P70S6K pathway and MAPKs pathway. Moreover, our study also provides possible bioactive compounds responsible for LD treatment on HF.

Project description:In order to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying right ventricular failure in human PAH, a RNA sequencing analysis was performed in RV tissues obtained from subjects clinically categorized as compensated RV (n=11), decompensated RV (n=7) and donor controls (n=14). The study unveils a plethora of factors dysregulated in the RV of PAH patients, which opens new perspectives for translational research.

Project description:We recently introduced a modification of the established monocrotaline (MCT) model for pulmonary hypertension (PH) and subsequent right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy, which allows for the selective induction of either a compensate or decompensated RV hypertrophic phenotype within four weeks after a single subcutaneous MCT injection. Both doses of 30 or 80 mg/kg body weight lead to an intermediate phase of compensated RV hypertrophy (day 14-19), while the former dose leads to a stable compensated phenotype (HYP) and the latter dose progresses towards decompensated ventricular hypertrophy and RV failure (CHF) around day 25-28 (Buermans et. al, Physiological Genomics 2005). This model provides the unique opportunity to characterize the development of either hypertrophic phenotype during the very early stages after imposition of RV pressure overload remodeling, well before phenotypical differences have become apparent. This experiment series describes gene expression profiles, generated by spotted oligonucleotide microarrays, to characterize and compare the expression of ~4800 genes from the RV of HYP, CHF and time matched control rats at 10, 19 and 25 days after injections. RV samples were hybridized against a common reference pool, prepared from total RNA isolated from the interventricular septum wall from animals at day 19 and 25. Keywords: dose response x time course

Project description:Influenza A viruses (IAVs), particularly H1N1, H5N1 and H7N9, pose a substantial threat to public health worldwide. Here, we report that MIR2911, a honeysuckle (HS)-encoded atypical microRNA, directly targets IAVs with a broad spectrum. MIR2911 is highly stable in HS decoction, and continuous drinking or gavage feeding of HS decoction leads to a significant elevation of the MIR2911 level in mouse peripheral blood and lung. Bioinformatics prediction and a luciferase reporter assay showed that MIR2911 could target various IAVs, including H1N1, H5N1 and H7N9. Synthetic MIR2911 significantly inhibited H1N1-encoded PB2 and NS1 protein expression but did not affect mutants in which the MIR2911-binding nucleotide sequences were altered. Synthetic MIR2911, extracted RNA from HS decoction and HS decoction all significantly inhibited H1N1 viral replication and improved viral infection-induced mouse weight loss but did not affect infection with a mutant virus in which the MIR2911-binding nucleotide sequences of PB2 and NS1 were altered. Importantly, the inhibitory effect of HS decoction on viral replication was abolished by an anti-MIR2911 antagomir, indicating that the physiological concentration of MIR2911 in HS decoction could directly and sufficiently suppress H1N1 viral replication. MIR2911 also inhibited H5N1 and H7N9 viral replication in vitro and in vivo. Strikingly, administration of MIR2911 or HS decoction both dramatically reduced mouse mortality caused by H5N1 infection. Our results demonstrate that MIR2911 is the first active component identified in Traditional Chinese Medicine to directly target various IAVs and may represent a novel type of natural product that effectively suppresses viral infection.

Project description:We performed molecular phenotyping of RV remodeling, using transcriptome analysis of RV tissue obtained from MCT-induced rats (of both male and female animals). The clustering approach along with precise hemodynamics assessments identified “early" and "late" subgroups of decompensated state in rat RV. Further molecular characterization of these subgroups identified distinct molecular genes and pathways within different stages of RV remodeling. This study provided a resource to comprehensively compare human RV remodeling with the current animal model of PH (MCT), and led to validation of state-specific biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for RV dysfunction.

Project description:We aimed to investigate the syndrome of Sini decoction pattern. The Sini decoction was first mentioned in Shang Han Za Bing Lun, then was developed into Sini decoction pattern (SDP) by Sun Simiao’s Qian Jin Yi Fang. The syndromes of SDP were correlated with various extremely Yang deficiency related symptoms, but there does not exist common definition.

Project description:Peritoneal macrophages (PM) are thought to regulate peritoneal inflammation and control bacterial infections in decompensated liver cirrhosis. The aim of this study was to characterize human PM heterogeneity. Employing CD206 surface expression, we identified subsets of human large (LPM) and small (SPM) PM, which differed in granularity and maturation states. FACS-sorted LPM from patients with decompensated cirrhosis revealed discrete transcriptome clusters, comprising more than 4000 differentially regulated genes involved in cell cycle, metabolism, and immune signaling.
