This article was aimed to explore the effect ofSan-Huang (SH) decoction on improving chemosensitivity of MCF-7 cells to epirubicin and inhibition of Aurora kinase A, in order to discuss its underlying mechanism. The inhibition of MCF-7 cells proliferation on breast cancer by SH decoction was determined by CCK-8 assay. RT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the Aurora A, p53 mRNA and protein expression level of MCF-7 cells by SH decoction. The siRNA silenced Aurora A of MCF-7 cells. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the inhibition of MCF-7 cells proliferation. CCK-8 assay and AnnexinV-FITC/PI staining were used to detect the inhibition rate and apoptosis rate of MCF-7 cells treated by the combination of SH decoction and epirubicin. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of apoptosis-related proteins. The results showed that SH decoction inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 cells in a dose-dependent manner (P< 0.05). The effect of 48 h medication was better than 24 h (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference with medication for 72 h (P > 0.05). SH decoction can regulate the Aurora A, p53 protein and mRNA expression of MCF-7 cells. siRNA silenced Aurora A, which downregulated the inhibition rate of MCF-7 cells by SH decoction for 50.0% (from 49.2% to 24.8%). The combination of SH decoction and epirubicin enhanced the effect of epirubicin on inhibiting the proliferation rate and apoptosis rate of MCF-7 cell, regulated the expression levels of apoptosis-related protein such as c-PARP, c-Caspase 3, Bcl-2, Bax, as well as the protein level of Aurora A. It was concluded that SH decoction can increase the chemosensitivity of MCF-7 cells to epirubicin, which may be related to the inhibition of Aurora Kinase A by SH decoction.

Aim To explore micro RNAs-integrated pathogenic signaling to control endothelial-mesenchy-mal transition ( EndMT ) in pulmonary hypertension ( PH) by a network bioinformatic approach. Methods Literature-mining method was used to find PH-relat-ed genes and EndMT/EMT-related miRNAs. Bioinfor-matic prediction approach ( DIANA3 , Miranda4 , PicT-ar5 , TargetScan6 , miRDB7 and microT-CDS8 ) was used for miRNA target prediction. Hypergeometric a-nalysis was used to predict miRNAs related to EndMT in PH. The analysis of interactions between PH-rele-vant genes( PH network) was performed with the use of Biological General Repository for Interaction Datasets ( BioGRID ) . These miRNAs were ranked with the highest probability of substantial overlap among their gene targets in the PH-network, the relationship be-tween their targets and the PH functional categories which include hypoxia, inflammation, and transforming growth factor/BMP signaling. Then, the part of results was validated by animal experiment. Lastly the miR-NA-Target network was built using Cytocape 3 . Results List of 230 genes was compiled that were directly im-plicated in the development of PH and 189 miRNAs were related to EndMT in PH. Among 189 miRNAs, only 22 microRNAs(miR-let-7 family, miR-124, miR-130 family, miR-135, miR-144, miR-149, miR-155, miR-16-1, miR-17, miR-181 family, miR-182, miR-200 family, miR-204, miR-205, miR-21, miR-224, miR-27, miR-29 family, miR-301a, miR-31, miR-361 and miR-375) were related to hypoxia, inflamma-tion, and transforming growth factor/BMP signaling. Among these miRNAs, the levels of let-7g, miR-21, miR-124 and miR-130 family were significantly changed in the pulmonary artery in hypoxia-induced PH rats. Conclusions Among numerous miRNAs,22 of which may be involved in hypoxia, inflammation, and transforming growth factor/BMP signaling and re-lated to EndMT in PH by network bioinformatic ap-proach, which provides a theoretical basis for further investigation of EndMT in PH.

Doxorubicin(DOX)is a commonly administered chemotherapy drug for treating hematological malignancies and solid tumors;however,its clinical application is limited by significant cardiotoxicity.Cynaroside(Cyn)is a flavonoid glycoside distributed in honeysuckle,with confirmed potential biological functions in regulating inflammation,pyroptosis,and oxidative stress.Herein,the effects of Cyn were evaluated in a DOX-induced cardiotoxicity(DIC)mouse model,which was established by intraperitoneal injections of DOX(5 mg/kg)once a week for three weeks.The mice in the treatment group received dexrazoxane,MCC950,and Cyn every two days.Blood biochemistry,histopathology,immunohistochemistry,reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR),and western blotting were conducted to investigate the cardioprotective effects and potential mechanisms of Cyn treatment.The results demonstrated the significant benefits of Cyn treatment in mitigating DIC;it could effectively alleviate oxidative stress to a certain extent,maintain the equilibrium of cell apoptosis,and enhance the cardiac function of mice.These effects were realized via regulating the transcription levels of pyroptosis-related genes,such as nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3),caspase-1,and gasdermin D(GSDMD).Mechanistically,for DOX-induced myocardial injury,Cyn could significantly modulate the expression of pivotal genes,including adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK),peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α(PGC-1α),sirtuin 3(SIRT3),and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2).We attribute it to the mediation of AMPK/SIRT3/Nrf2 pathway,which plays a central role in preventing DOX-induced cardiomyocyte injury.In conclusion,the present study confirms the therapeutic potential of Cyn in DIC by regulating the AMPK/SIRT3/Nrf2 pathway.
