Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， through its multi-target and systematic regulatory effects， has demonstrated unique advantages in the treatment of gastric precancerous lesions （GPL）. At present， TCM theoretical research on GPL is mainly reflected in three aspects， the integration of macroscopic syndrome differentiation， the inflammation-carcinoma transformation mechanism， as well as the systematization and scientization of theoretical inheritance from famous TCM practitioners. High-quality evidence-based research findings serve as the foundation for clinical practice guidelines on GPL， and TCM has gained international academic recognition in the field of GPL prevention and treatment. Research on TCM mechanisms has yielded a series of important outcomes in the aspects of signaling pathways， gene expression regulation， cellular epigenetics， histone modification， and intestinal microecology. It is proposed that future research on GPL should focus on four key directions， establishing multi-omics data， exploring targeted intervention strategies on key regulatory nodes， advancing the standardization process of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine prevention and treatment technologies， and constructing stratified screening and intervention platforms. The in-depth integration of TCM microcosmic mechanism of action with its macroscopic syndrome differentiation and treatment system， coupled with interdisciplinary research， will provide valuable references for the clinical treatment and scientific research of GPL.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Xianglian Huazhuo prescription （XLHZ） ameliorates chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG） through regulating glycolysis via the microRNA-34b-5p （miR-34b-5p）/6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2，6-bisphosphatase 1 （PFKFB1） signaling pathway. MethodsBioinformatic screening was performed to identify the target genes of miR-34b-5p. In the animal experiments， a mouse model of CAG was established through a combination of N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine （MNNG）， ranitidine， and irregular feeding. The mice were randomized into the following groups： normal， model， Morodan group （2 g·kg^-1）， and high-， medium-， and low-dose XLHZ groups（7.2，3.8，1.9 g·kg^-1）. In the cell experiments， GES-1 cells were treated with MNNG for the modeling of CAG and grouped as follows： GES-1， MNNG+GES-1， MNNG+GES-1+XLHZ（10%）， MNNG+GES-1+miR-34b-5p mimics， MNNG+GES-1+miR-34b-5p inhibitor， MNNG+GES-1+PFKFB1 inhibitor， and MNNG+GES-1+PFKFB1 mimics+XLHZ（10%）. The general conditions of mice were observed. Real-time PCR was adopted to measure the expression levels of miRNA-34b-5p and PFKFB1 mRNA in the gastric mucosa of mice in each group. Dual luciferase reporter gene was used to verify the targeting interaction between miR-34b-5p and PFKFB1 in GES-1 cells exposed to MNNG. The cell-counting kit-8 （CCK-8） was used to screen the drug-containing serum concentration. Real-time PCR was employed to verify the transfection efficiency. Fluorescent probes were used to detect the expression and nuclear translocation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α） in each group of cells. The protein levels of HIF-1α， hexokinase 2 （HK2）， PFKFB1， phosphofructokinase 1 （PFK1）， and lactate dehydrogenase （LDHA） in the gastric mucosa of mice were determined by Western blot. The levels of glucose consumption and lactate in the serum and cells were measured by biochemical methods. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was adopted to measure the content of adenosine triphosphate （ATP） in the gastric mucosa tissue and cells. ResultsThe animal experiments showed that compared with the normal group， the model group exhibited symptoms including mental fatigue， lethargy， sparse and dull fur， a tendency to curl up， sluggish responses， reduced food and water intake， and slow body weight gain. In addition， the model group showed decreased expression of miRNA-34b-5p （P<0.01）， increased mRNA level of PFKFB1 （P<0.01）， upregulated protein levels of HIF-1α， HK2， PFKFB1， PFK1， and LDHA （P<0.01）， and increased glucose consumption， lactate content， and ATP content （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the XLHZ group and Morodan group showed improved mental state， gradually improved fur， increased activity， food and water intake， and body weight. HE showed that each treatment group exhibited well arranged and increased gastric mucosal glands， reduced inflammatory cells， and recovered gastric pits. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the size of mitochondria in each treatment group returned to normal， with no obvious irregular shape， complete and clear cristae， and uniform matrix. Furthermore， each treatment group showed increased expression of miRNA-34b-5p （P<0.05）， reduced mRNA level of PFKFB1 （P<0.05）， downregulated protein levels of HIF-1α， HK2， PFKFB1， PFK1， and LDHA （P<0.05）， and decreased glucose consumption， lactic acid， and ATP （P<0.05）. The cell experiments showed that the expression and nuclear translocation of HIF-1α were reduced in all groups after treatment （P<0.05）. The cell transfection efficiency was satisfactory （P<0.05）. miR-34b-5p exhibited an effect comparable to that of XLHZ， effectively inhibiting glycolysis， whereas PFKFB1 promoted glycolysis and reversed the protective effect of XLHZ in CAG mice （P<0.05）. ConclusionXLHZ could regulate the miR-34b-5p/PFKFB1 axis to inhibit glycolysis， thereby ameliorating MNNG-induced gastric mucosal atrophy.
