With high incidence and lethality rate and certain disability rate, tumor has become a major global public health threat. It has been verified that the occurrence and development of tumor are resulted from the synergy of environment, heredity, and gene mutation, involving the abnormal activation or inhibition of a variety of related pathways such as oxidative stress, inflammation, autophagy, and mesenchymal transition of cells. Among them, the excessive activation of inflammatory signaling pathway is one of the main mechanisms of carcinogenesis and tumor progression, which enhances the proliferation, chemoradiotherapy resistance, invasion, and metastasis of cancer cells. At the moment, the correlation between long-term chronic uncontrollable inflammation and "inflammation-cancer transformation" has been widely recognized. Therefore, it is of great significance for the prevention and treatment, diagnosis, and prognosis evaluation of tumor to clarify the role of inflammation in the incidence of tumor. Blockers or activators have been developed to target the corresponding inflammatory pathways. However, tumor is accompanied by the abnormality of multiple inflammatory pathways, especially the advanced tumor with metastasis of cancer cells, and thus the efficacy of single pathway-targeting agents is non-ideal. Chinese medicine, featuring multiple components and multiple targets, can remarkably control the inflammatory response, delay tumor progression, enhance the sensitivity of tumor cells to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and reduce postoperative infection and the adverse reactions caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, thereby exerting the anti-cancer effect. Nevertheless, a few reports on the anti-tumor effect of Chinese medicine from the perspective of inflammation are available. Therefore, this paper mainly expounds the influence of inflammation on the occurrence and development of tumor and summarizes the research on the intervention of tumor by Chinese medicine through inflammatory pathway, which is expected to provide a new mindset for the prevention and treatment of tumor.

As the pace of society increases and lifestyles change, the incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer continue to rise. Targeted therapies are now promising in the treatment of breast cancer, and a variety of protein targets have been identified to play an important role in the development of breast cancer. Among them, signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins constitute a crucial group that serves as important targets for transducing cellular transcriptional information, which can regulate downstream cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell migration, invasion, angiogenic factors, etc. and then affect the progression of breast cancer. The STAT family is closely associated with the inflammatory response to tumors and plays a landmark role in tumor development as well as in diagnosis and prognosis. The "inflammation-cancer" transformation refers to the process in which the inflammatory microenvironment caused by uncontrolled inflammation promotes normal cells to become cancerous. According to the theory of Chinese medicine, "heat toxicity" in "cancer toxicity" corresponds to inflammation, which is closely related to tumor development. As a major link associated with the inflammatory response, the STAT family has a promising role in the development and treatment of a variety of tumors, but its relevance to breast cancer remains inadequately explored. Chinese medicine has been shown to have good efficacy in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer, and some current studies have shown that the active ingredients and compounds of Chinese medicine have certain intervention effects on breast cancer-related STAT proteins, but there has not been a systematic review. In order to better sort out and summarize the studies on the effects of Chinese herbal medicines based on the STAT family interventions in breast cancer, this paper reviewed the studies on Chinese herbal medicines acting on the STAT family in recent years, aiming to provide new ideas for clinical applications in breast cancer and to provide thoughts for the development of STAT protein-based drugs.

Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a serious complication that occurs following shock and/or liver surgery. Gut microbiota and their metabolites are key upstream modulators of development of liver injury. Herein, we investigated the potential contribution of gut microbes to HIRI. Ischemia/reperfusion surgery was performed to establish a murine model of HIRI. 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabolomics were used for microbial analysis. Transcriptomics and proteomics analysis were employed to study the host cell responses. Our results establish HIRI was significantly increased when surgery occurred in the evening (ZT12, 20:00) when compared with the morning (ZT0, 08:00); however, antibiotic pretreatment reduced this diurnal variation. The abundance of a microbial metabolite 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropionic acid was significantly higher in ZT0 when compared with ZT12 in the gut and this compound significantly protected mice against HIRI. Furthermore, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropionic acid suppressed the macrophage pro-inflammatory response in vivo and in vitro. This metabolite inhibits histone deacetylase activity by reducing its phosphorylation. Histone deacetylase inhibition suppressed macrophage pro-inflammatory activation and diminished the diurnal variation of HIRI. Our findings revealed a novel protective microbial metabolite against HIRI in mice. The potential underlying mechanism was at least in part, via 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropionic acid-dependent immune regulation and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition in macrophages.
