Icaritin(ICT)is an 8-isopentenylflavonoid,which is the main effective component of the tra-ditional Chinese medicine Epimedium.Previously,we found that Icaritin inhibits the growth of glioblasto-ma(GBM)cells.Herein we aim to study the in vivo anti-GBM effectiveness of Icaritin and explore its mechanism.The results of MTT assay,flow cytometry,comet assay and cellular immunofluorescence as-say in vitro showed that ICT inhibited the proliferation of four kinds of GBM cells,U87,U251,U118 and A172,induced early apoptosis(P<0.001)and late apoptosis(P<0.05)in U87 cells,induced DNA damage in U87 cells,and blocked the growth of U87 cells at the G0/G1 phase(P<0.0001)in a concen-tration-time-dependent manner.In vivo subcutaneous tumor transplantation tumor experiments showed that feeding 200 mg/kg(P<0.01)and 400 mg/kg(P<0.001)ICT had a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of GBM subcutaneous tumors,and had no significant toxic effects on heart,liver,spleen,lung and kidney tissues.The results of network pharmacological analysis,molecular docking and cellular thermodynamic experiments showed that there were 26 possible target proteins between ICT and GBM,a-mong which the expression of p53 in GBM tissues was significantly(P<0.001)higher than in normal tis-sues,and the binding energy of ICT and p53 was lower;cellular thermodynamic experiments verified that ICT significantly enriched the level of p53 in the living cells of GBM,which indicated that ICT could tar-get p53.The expression of key proteins in the DNA damage repair and apoptosis-associated FOXO signa-ling pathway was detected by ICT.The results showed that the expression of ATR(P<0.01),P53(P<0.001),P21(P<0.05)and γ-H2AX(P<0.05)was up-regulated,whereas the expression of Cyc-lin E1(P<0.01),E2F1(P<0.05),CDK2(P<0.01),Rb(P<0.001),p-Rb(P<0.0001)and WRN(P<0.0001)expression were down-regulated.There was no significant change in the expres-sion of FOXO 1 in the FOXO pathway or a significant down-regulation of its phosphorylation level.This study demonstrated that ICT could effectively inhibit the growth of GBM cells in vivo.It targets p53 to regulate the DNA damage repair pathway and FOXO signaling pathway to induce GBM cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

The current treatment of glioma is facing drug resistance,which limits the efficacy of traditional chemotherapy drugs.This study aims to explore the potential mechanisms of the trifluoromethylquinazoline compound(KZL204)against glioma.Through the Cell Counting Kit-8(CCK-8)assay,we found that KZL204 significantly inhibits the growth of drug-resistant cancer cells,with a 48-hour half-maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)of 3.63±0.38 μmol/L,which is significantly better than the positive control drug temozolomide(TMZ)(IC50 value of 81.67±5.49 μmol/L).Additionally,flow cytometry analysis showed that KZL204 treatment significantly increased the apoptosis rate of drug-resistant tumor cells and arrested the cell cycle at the G2/M phase.At the same time,the Transwell assay confirmed the inhibitory effect of KZL204 on the migration and invasion of drug-resistant cancer cells.Transcriptome analysis revealed 2 435 differentially expressed genes in drug-resistant cancer cells treated with KZL204,of which 1 320 were upregulated,and 1 115 were downregulated.KEGG and GO enrichment analysis showed that these differential genes were significantly enriched in apoptosis-related signaling pathways.Further bioinformatics prediction and Venn diagram analysis identified 35 potential core targets,with the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway being the most significant among the differentially expressed genes.Quantitative real-time PCR(RT-qPCR)experiments confirmed the downregulating effects of KZL204 on genes such as CREB3L1,CSF1,CXCL5,BCL3,and the upregulating effects on genes like FOS,LT A,PTGS2,MAP2K3.Immunoblotting experiments at the protein level also confirmed the impact of KZL204 on the expression of apoptotic proteins,including the upregulation of Bax,cleaved Caspase-3 protein,and the downregulation ofAKT,Bcl-2,Caspase-3,and Caspase-8 protein expression.In summary,KZL204 significantly inhibits the growth and metastasis of drug-resistant glioblastoma and induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest by regulating the PI3K-AKT and apoptosis-related signaling pathways,demonstrating its potential as a candidate drug against drug-resistant glioma.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the protective effects and its possible mechanism of Wuzi Yanzong Pill (WYP) on Parkinson's disease (PD) model mice.
METHODS:
Thirty-six C57BL/6 male mice were randomly assigned to 3 groups including normal, PD, and PD+WYP groups, 12 mice in each group. One week of intraperitoneal injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) was used to establish the classical PD model in mice. Meanwhile, mice in the PD+WYP group were administrated with 16 g/kg WYP, twice daily by gavage. After 14 days of administration, gait test, open field test and pole test were measured to evaluate the movement function. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) neurons in substantia nigra of midbrain and binding immunoglobulin heavy chain protein (GRP78) in striatum and cortex were observed by immunohistochemistry. The levels of TH, GRP78, p-PERK, p-eIF2α, ATF4, p-IRE1α, XBP1, ATF6, CHOP, ASK1, p-JNK, Caspase-12, -9 and -3 in brain were detected by Western blot.
RESULTS:
Compared with the PD group, WYP treatment ameliorated gait balance ability in PD mice (P<0.05). Similarly, WYP increased the total distance and average speed (P<0.05 or P<0.01), reduced rest time and pole time (P<0.05). Moreover, WYP significantly increased TH positive cells (P<0.01). Immunofluorescence showed WYP attenuated the levels of GRP78 in striatum and cortex. Meanwhile, WYP treatment significantly decreased the protein expressions of GRP78, p-PERK, p-eIF2α, ATF4, p-IRE1 α, XBP1, CHOP, Caspase-12 and Caspase-9 (P<0.05 or P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONS
WYP ameliorated motor symptoms and pathological lesion of PD mice, which may be related to the regulation of unfolded protein response-mediated signaling pathway and inhibiting the endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated neuronal apoptosis pathway.

There are many types in food allergy, and the most common is mediated by IgE. Currently, the diagnosis of food allergy mainly relied on skin prick test and serum specific IgE of allergen extract, which can not identify cross-sensitization. Component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) can identify the major allergen components and cross-components of food allergens, which plays an important role in dietary guidance, prognosis monitoring and diagnosis of special types of IgE-mediated food allergy. This article enumerates clinical characteristics of the IgE-mediated common food allergies, such as milk, egg and seafood allergy, and special type of food allergy, such as cat pork syndrome, oral allergy syndrome, α-gal syndrome and food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis, summarizes the advances of CRD in these types of IgE-mediated food allergy, in order to provide an evidence for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of IgE-mediated food allergy.
