China Pharmacy 2024;35(1):44-50
OBJECTIVE To study the mechanism of oxymatrine inducing apoptosis of osteosarcoma MG63 cell line based on mitophagy mediated by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)/PTEN-induced putative kinase-1 (PINK1)/Parkinson disease protein-2 (Parkin) signaling pathway. METHODS MG63 cells were treated with 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 mg/mL oxymatrine and 6 μmol/L 5-fluorouracil, then the apoptotic rate, the expression of apoptosis-related proteins [B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 related X protein (Bax)], the proportion of decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, the level of mitophagy as well as the protein expressions of PINK1, Parkin, and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain-3Ⅱ (LC3-Ⅱ) were detected. PINK1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was adopted to intervene in the expression of PINK1, the cells were divided into control group, PINK1 siRNA group, oxymatrine group, and PINK1 siRNA+oxymatrine group; the protein expressions of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3-Ⅱ, the proportion of decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) as well as apoptotic rate were detected. The lentivirus infection technique was used to overexpress COX-2, the cells were divided into control group, oxymatrine group, COX-2 group, and COX-2+oxymatrine group. The protein expressions of COX-2, PINK1, and Parkin, as well as the proportion of decrease in MMP were detected. RESULTS After being treated with oxymatrine, the apoptotic rate, the protein expressions of Bax, PINK1, Parkin, and LC3-Ⅱ, the level of mitophagy as well as the proportion of decrease in MMP were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the protein expression of Bcl-2 was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the oxymatrine group, the protein expressions of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3-Ⅱ, apoptotic rate and the proportion of decrease in MMP were significantly decreased in PINK1 siRNA+oxymatrine group (P<0.05). Compared with the oxymatrine group, the protein expression of COX-2 in the COX-2+oxymatrine group was increased significantly (P<0.05), while the protein expressions of PINK1 and Parkin as well as the proportion of 526087266@qq.com decrease in MMP were decreased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Oxymatrine can mediate the overactivity of mitophagy based on the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway by inhibiting COX-2 expression, thus promoting the apoptosis of the MG63 osteosarcoma cell line.

China Pharmacy 2024;35(3):296-303
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of berberine on ferroptosis in MG63 osteosarcoma cells and its mechanism. METHODS Using cells without drug treatment as control, the cell viability, proliferation, the related indexes of ferroptosis [nuclear proliferation associated-antigen (Ki67), mitochondrial ultrastructure, ferric ion (Fe2+), reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and glutathione (GSH)], the protein expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), tumor protein 53 (p53), and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) were detected after being treated with different concentrations of berberine. Cells were transfected with p53 siRNA and then assigned to the control group, p53 siRNA group, berberine group, and p53 siRNA+berberine group to explore the role of p53 in berberine-induced ferroptosis. After 24 h incubation with 10.0 μmol/L berberine, the protein expressions of p53 and SLC7A11, the levels of mitochondrial membrane potential, GSH, and MDA content were determined. Cells were transfected with STAT3 overexpressed plasmid and then assigned to the control group, berberine group, STAT3 group, and STAT3+berberine group to explore the effect of STAT3 on the regulation of the p53/SLC7A11 pathway. After 24 h incubation with 10 μmol/L berberine, the protein expressions of p-STAT3, STAT3, p53, and SLC7A11 were detected. RESULTS Compared with the control cell, the concentrations of 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 μmol/L berberine could reduce the cell viability and expression of Ki67, and induce the morphological changes in ferroptosis-related mitochondria, increase the levels of Fe2+, ROS and MDA, and the protein expression of p53, reduce the level of GSH, the binding activity of STAT3 with DNA, and the protein expressions of p-STAT3 and SLC7A11; the above differences were statistically significant (P< 0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the berberine group,significantly down-regulated p53 protein expression and MDA level, up-regulated SLC7A11 protein expression, and increased mitochondrial membrane potential and GSH level were observed in the p53 siRNA+berberine group (P<0.01). Compared with the berberine group, the protein expressions of p-STAT3, STAT3, and SLC7A11 in the STAT3+berberine group were significantly increased (P<0.01), while the protein expression of p53 was significantly decreased (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Berberine can induce the ferroptosis of MG63 cells by mediating STAT3/p53/SLC7A11 signaling pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the values of 18F-PI-2620 PET/CT brain imaging with SUV ratio (SUVR) in the assessment of tau protein deposition in the brain of patients with different cognitive disorders and its correlation with cognition. Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From December 2019 to November 2022, a total of 67 subjects including 54 patients with Alzheimer′s disease (AD; 21 males, 33 females, age (68.6±7.8) years), 7 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI; 1 male, 6 females, age (63.1±11.2) years) and 6 healthy controls (HC; 4 males, 2 females, age (69.0±5.8) years) were enrolled retrospectively in Renji Hospital. All participants were examined by 18F-PI-2620 PET/CT. SUVRs of brain regions were obtained, including frontal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, parietal lobe, insular lobe, whole brain, as well as 10 independent brain ROIs (amygdala, orbitofrontal cortex, cingulate gyrus, superior occipital gyrus, superior parietal gyrus, inferior angular gyrus, precuneus, inferior temporal gyrus, entorhinal cortex and parahippocampal gyrus), with inferior cerebellum cortex as the reference region. All participants were estimated by cognitive scales(mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA)). One-way analysis of variance and the least significant difference t test were used to compare the differences of SUVR in each brain region among HC, MCI and AD groups. ROC curve analysis was used to determine the optimal cut-off values of SUVR in each brain region for the differential diagnosis of AD-MCI and AD-HC. Pearson correlation analysis was employed to examine the correlations of SUVR with cognitive scale scores. Results:The SUVR of whole brain was 1.40±0.31 in AD group, 1.08±0.19 in MCI group, and 1.01±0.12 in HC group. SUVR analysis in the whole brain and each brain region could distinguish AD from HC, AD from MCI ( F values: 1.76-10.09, t values: 2.98-7.47, all P<0.05), but could not distinguish HC from MCI ( t values: 0.17-1.53, all P>0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the best cut-off value of SUVR was 1.18 for whole brain (AUC=0.89), 1.13 for amygdala (AUC=0.94) and 1.26 for parahippocampal gyrus (AUC=0.94) for differential diagnosis of AD and HC, which was 1.06 for whole brain (AUC=0.82), 1.18 for amygdala (AUC=0.88) and 1.28 (AUC=0.88) for infratemporal gyrus to differential diagnosis of AD and MCI. SUVRs of the whole brain, frontal, occipital, parietal, temporal and insula were significantly negatively correlated with MMSE and MoCA cognitive scale scores ( r values: from -0.64 to -0.40, all P<0.05). Conclusions:SUVR quantitative analysis in 18F-PI-2620 PET imaging can assist the differential diagnosis of AD and HC, AD and MCI. The SUVRs of whole brain and five lobes show negative correlations with MMSE and MoCA scores.

Objective:To assess the diagnostic efficiency of 18F-FDG PET for Alzheimer′s disease (AD) in patients with memory impairment. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 96 patients (40 males, 56 females, age: 69.0(62.8, 74.0) years) initially diagnosed with memory impairment in Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University between August 2019 and September 2023. The amyloid-tau-neurodegeneration (ATN) criteria, based on 18F-AV45+ 18F-PI-2620 PET/CT+ MRI imaging results, were used as the diagnostic standard for AD. Visual analysis (temporoparietal or posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) hypometabolism) and semi-quantitative analysis methods (PET-SCORE and NeuroQ software analysis (SUV ratio, SUVR)) were applied to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of 18F-FDG PET imaging for AD. Diagnostic efficiencies of visual assessment and semi-quantitative parameters were compared by χ2 test. Additionally, Pearson correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between results of PET-SCORE and cognitive scales. Results:Of the 96 patients initially diagnosed with memory impairment, 61 were clinically diagnosed with AD, while 35 were non-AD patients. Visual assessment of temporoparietal hypometabolism showed the highest sensitivity (91.80%, 56/61), which was significantly different from the sensitivities of PET-SCORE (40.98%(25/61); χ2=29.03, P<0.001) and visual assessment of PCC hypometabolism (77.05%(47/61); χ2=5.82, P=0.016). While semi-quantitative assessment using PET-SCORE demonstrated the highest specificity (100%, 35/35), which was significantly different from the specificities of visual assessment methods (temporoparietal hypometabolism: 17.14%(6/35), χ2=27.03, P<0.001; PCC hypometabolism: 54.29%(19/35), χ2=14.06, P<0.001). PET-SCORE exhibited statistically significant correlations with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scores ( r values: -0.38, -0.36, 0.31, all P<0.01). Conclusions:Among patients initially diagnosed with memory impairment, visual assessment in 18F-FDG PET imaging analysis demonstrates higher sensitivity, while semi-quantitative analysis using PET-SCORE exhibits higher specificity. PET-SCORE shows statistically significant correlation with the severity of cognitive decline.

The condition of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) complicated by corona virus 2019 disease (COVID-19) is complex. sTBI can significantly increase the probability of COVID-19 developing into severe or critical stage, while COVID-19 can also increase the surgical risk of sTBI and the severity of postoperative lung lesions. There are many contradictions in the treatment process, which brings difficulties to the clinical treatment of such patients. Up to now, there are few clinical studies and therapeutic norms relevant to sTBI complicated by COVID-19. In order to standardize the clinical treatment of such patients, Critical Care Medicine Branch of China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Healthcare and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate the Chinese expert consensus on clinical treatment of adult patients with severe traumatic brain injury complicated by corona virus infection 2019 ( version 2023) based on the joint prevention and control mechanism scheme of the State Council and domestic and foreign literatures on sTBI and COVID-19 in the past 3 years of the international epidemic. Fifteen recommendations focused on emergency treatment, emergency surgery and comprehensive management were put forward to provide a guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of sTBI complicated by COVID-19.
