Radiation-induced thrombocytopenia (RIT) faces a perplexing challenge in the clinical treatment of cancer patients, and current therapeutic approaches are inadequate in the clinical settings. In this research, oxymatrine, a new molecule capable of healing RIT was screened out, and the underlying regulatory mechanism associated with magakaryocyte (MK) differentiation and thrombopoiesis was demonstrated. The capacity of oxymatrine to induce MK differentiation was verified in K-562 and Meg-01 cells in vitro. The ability to induce thrombopoiesis was subsequently demonstrated in Tg (cd41:enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP)) zebrafish and RIT model mice. In addition, we carried out network pharmacological prediction, drug affinity responsive target stability assay (DARTS) and cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) analyses to explore the potential targets of oxymatrine. Moreover, the pathway underlying the effects of oxymatrine was determined by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses, Western blot (WB), and immunofluorescence. Oxymatrine markedly promoted MK differentiation and maturation in vitro. Moreover, oxymatrine induced thrombopoiesis in Tg (cd41:eGFP) zebrafish and accelerated thrombopoiesis and platelet function recovery in RIT model mice. Mechanistically, oxymatrine directly binds to toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and further regulates the downstream pathway stimulator of interferon genes (STING)/nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB), which can be blocked by C29 and C-176, which are specific inhibitors of TLR2 and STING, respectively. Taken together, we demonstrated that oxymatrine, a novel TLR2 agonist, plays a critical role in accelerating MK differentiation and thrombopoiesis via the STING/NF-κB axis, suggesting that oxymatrine is a promising candidate for RIT therapy.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of serum bromodomain-containing pro-tein 4(BRD4)combined with gastrin-17(G-17)in Helicobacter pylori(Hp)-positive early gastric cancer.Methods A total of 88 patients with Hp-positive early gastric cancer admitted to our hospital from September 2021 to September 2023 were selected as early gastric cancer group.Meanwhile,92 patients with Hp-positive precancerous lesions and 80 patients with Hp-positive gastritis admitted dur-ing the same period were selected as precancerous lesion group and gastritis group,respectively.En-zyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the serum levels of BRD4 and G-17.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to screen the influencing factors of Hp-positive early gastric cancer.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum BRD4 and G-17 in Hp-positive early gastric cancer.Results Compared with the gastritis group,the levels of BRD4 and G-17 in the precancerous lesion group and early gastric cancer group were significantly increased(P<0.05).Furthermore,compared with the precancerous le-sion group,the levels of BRD4 and G-17 in the early gastric cancer group were also significantly elevated(P<0.05).The proportion of patients with a family history of gastric cancer,those who preferred hot food,cold food,or high-salt food,as well as the levels of PG Ⅱ,BRD4,and G-17 were signifi-cantly higher in the early gastric cancer group than in the non-gastric cancer group,while the level of pepsinogen(PG)Ⅰ was significantly lower(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis revealed that preference for hot food,high-salt food,PG Ⅱ,BRD4,G-17,and PG Ⅰ were all influencing factors for Hp-positive early gastric cancer(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)values for serum BRD4,G-17,and their combination in diagnosing Hp-positive early gastric cancer were 0.793,0.830,and 0.912,respectively.The diagnostic efficacy of the combined detection was superior to that of single detection(P<0.05).Conclusion The serum levels of BRD4 and G-17 are elevated in patients with Hp-positive early gastric cancer,and both exhibit certain diagnostic value for Hp-positive early gastric cancer,suggesting their potential as serum biomarkers for the diagnosis of Hp-positive early gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVE To study the pharmacological substance basis of Shaoyao gancao decoction for relieving acute and chronic pain. METHODS The antispasmodic effect of Shaoyao gancao decoction, ethyl acetate extract of Shaoyao gancao decoction and its effluent part of macroporous resin and 90% ethanol elution part of macroporous resin (the concentration of 4 drugs was 13.44 g/mL according to crude drug) was observed by in vitro small intestine tension test in rats. The acetic acid writhing test was conducted in mice to evaluate the analgesic effects of macroporous resin efflux site and macroporous resin 90% ethanol elution site (the dosage of 2.4 g/kg according to crude drug). The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL- 1β), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in serum of mice were detected. The serum prototype and metabolites of mice after intragastric administration of macroporous resin 90% ethanol elution site were identified by high performance liquid chromatogre-time-of-flight mass spectrometry. RESULTS In vitro experiment showed that 90% ethanol eluting part of macroporous resin represented the best antispasmodic effect, and the inhibitory rate of small intestine tension was significantly higher than macroporous resin efflux site of Shaoyao gancao decoction (P<0.05) without statistical significance, compared with Shaoyao gancao decoction (P>0.05). In the acetic acid writhing experiment, compared with model group, the writhing times of mice in the macroporous resin 90% ethanol elution part group were reduced significantly (P<0.05), the writhing latency was prolonged significantly (P<0.05), and the levels of COX-2, IL-1β, PGE2 and TNF-α in serum were decreased significantly (P<0.05). Ten kinds of protoproducts including paeoniflorin and glycyrrhizic acid were identified from serum of mice, and twenty-two kinds of metabolites including hydroxylated glycyrrhizin and glucosylated liquiritin were identified. CONCLUSIONS The effective part of Shaoyao gancao decoction for relieving acute and chronic pain is 90% ethanol elution part prepared by macroporous resin from the ethyl acetate extract. Ten components, including glycyrrhetinic acid and paeoniflorin, may be the basis of its pharmacological substances.
