To observe the effect of shikonin on the proliferation, migration, adhesion and invasion of rheumatoid arthritis(RA) fibroblast like synoviocytes induced by tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), and to explore its mechanism of action from aspects of protein kinase B(Akt) and mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK) signaling pathways. TNF-α(20 ng·mL~(-1)) was used in this experiment to induce human RA fibroblast like synovial cell line(MH7 A). After addition of different concentrations of shikonin(0.025, 0.05, 0.1 pmol·L~(-1)), the proliferation, migration, adhesion and invasion ability of MH7 A cells were detected by MTT test, scratch test, adhesion test, Transwell invasion test, respectively. Protein expression of Akt and MAPK signaling pathway molecules in MH7 A cells was detected by Western blot. The results showed that as compared with the control group, TNF-α could significantly induce the proliferation, migration, adhesion and invasion of MH7 A cells, and increase the phosphorylation level of Akt, JNK, p38 and extracellular regulatory protein kinase(ERK). As compared with the TNF-α group, shikonin had no significant effect on TNF-α-induced proliferation of MH7 A cells after 24 h treatment, and it could reduce the TNF-α-induced proliferation of MH7 A cells in a concentration dependent manner after 48 h treatment. Shikonin also significantly reduced the TNF-α-induced migration, adhesion, invasion and phosphorylation levels of Akt, JNK, p38, ERK in MH7 A cells within 24 h. These results suggested that shikonin could reduce the proliferation, migration, adhesion and invasion ability of MH7 A cells induced by TNF-α, and its mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of Akt and MAPK signaling pathway activation.To explore the effect of Fuke Qianjin Capsules on anti-endometrial fibrosis in intrauterine adhesion(IUA) rats through TGF-β1-PI3 K/Akt signaling pathway. With female SD rats as the object, IUA rat models were established through mechanical injury and infection, and they were randomly divided into normal group, sham operation group, Bujiale group(0.63 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), and high-dose Fuke Qianjin Capsules group(1.008 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), medium-dose Fuke Qianjin Capsules group(0.504 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), low-dose Fuke Qianjin Capsules group(0.252 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)). The rats were sacrificed 21 days after drug administration, and the uterus and liver were removed after blood collection from the abdominal aorta. The morphology of the uterus was observed with the naked eyes; the pathological and morphological changes of the uterine tissue and liver were observed by HE staining; the degree of fibrosis of the uterine tissue was observed by Masson staining; the expressions of TGF-β1, TNF-α and IL-6 in serum were detected; the expressions of TGF-β1, PI3 K, Akt, p-Akt protein in uterine tissue were detected by Western blot. The results showed that Fuke Qianjin Capsules could improve the pathological changes of uterine tissues in IUA rats, without damage to liver tissues, and reduce the expressions of TGF-β1, TNF-α and IL-6 in serum(P<0.01); significantly reduce TGF-β1, PI3 K, p-Akt protein expression in uterine tissues(P<0.05, P<0.01). It is indicated that Fuke Qianjin Capsules could exert the anti-endometrial fibrosis effect by regulating the TGF-β1-PI3 K/Akt signal pathway, so as to achieve the effect in treating IUA rats, especially with the best effect in medium-dose Fuke Qianjin Capsules group.To explore the effect of slient mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1(SIRT1) on the delay of D-galactose(D-gal) induced premature ovarian failure in mice with ginsenoside Rg_1(Rg_1). Fifty-four female SPF BALB/c mice were randomly divided into PBS group, D-gal group, and Rg_1 group. In the D-gal group, D-galactose(200 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)) was injected subcutaneously into the neck and back for 42 days. In the PBS group, the equal amount of phosphate buffered saline(PBS) was injected into the neck and back for 42 days. In addition to the therapy of D-gal group, Rg_1 group was given Rg_1(20 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)) through the intraperitoneal injection on the 15 th day for 28 days. At the same time, the D-gal group and the PBS group were also given an equal amount of PBS through hintraperitoneal injection on the 15 th day for 28 days. The changes in body weight and ovarian weight coefficient of mice were detected. Expressions of estradiol 2(E_2), luteinizing hormone(LH), superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase(CAT), the number of follicles in the Rg_1 group was increased, whereas the number of corpus luteum was decreased. Compared with the PBS group, SIRT1 expression was down-regulated in the D-gal group, while SIRT1 expression was up-regulated in the Rg_1 group compared with the D-gal group. The results suggested that Rg_1 could delay D-gal-induced premature ovarian failure in a mouse model of premature ovarian failure, and SIRT1 played an important role in this.The aim of this paper was to investigate the effect of total polysaccharide from Balanophora henryi(TBP) on alcoholic liver disease(ALD) and explore the possible mechanism. C57 BL/6 N mice were randomly divided into 4 groups pair-feeding group, alcohol-feeding model group, model+TBP group and TBP drug control group. The Gao-binge method was used to prepare the chronic ALD model, and at the same time, 400 mg·kg~(-1) TBP was given for interventional therapy. After feeding for 6 weeks, the serum, liver and colon tissues were collected for detection. As compared with the pair-feeding group, the model group mice showed obvious fatty degeneration and a large number of infiltration of inflammatory cells in the liver, with increased serum ALT and AST levels. Androgen Receptor Antagonist After TBP intervention, histopathological changes in liver tissues were significantly improved, with decreased lipid deposition, closer arrangement of hepatocytes, lower expression level of inflammatory factors, and reduced activity of serum ALT and AST, indicatision.In this study, the oxygen-glucose deprivation(OGD) model in the human brain microvascular endothelial cell(HBMEC) was used to simulate the ischemic neuronal damage and observe the inflammatory response, explore the possible mechanisms for treating cerebral ischemia/reperfusion and improving memory impairment from the view point of inhibiting inflammatory response, which is of great reference significance for related Chinese medicine treatment of ischemic diseases. HBMECs were given with drugs at the same time of OGD injury, and reoxygenated for 2 h after 4 h treatment. Cell supernatant was then collected, and the inflammatory factors in cell supernatant were detected. Immunofluorescence assay was used to detect HBMECs morphology and expression of p-nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B(p-NF-κB); Western blot was used to detect expression changes of Toll like receptor 4(TLR4), myeloid differentiation primary response 88(MYD88) and p-NF-κB. The results showed that, after OGD modeling, the levels of interleukin 6(IL-6), IL-1α, IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were significantly increased; baicalin protected HBMEC, inhibited intranuclear transcription of p-NF-κB, significantly decreased HBMEC release of inflammatory factors caused by OGD injury, and inhibited the expression of TLR4, MYD88, and p-NF-κB.
