Objective To investigate the protective effects of remimazolam(Remi),a novel benzodiazepine sedative,on intestinal barrier function in septic mice.Methods A mouse model of sepsis was established using cecal ligation and puncture(CLP).A total of 96 SPF-grade adult male C57BL/6 mice were randomized into sham operation(Sham),sepsis(Sepsis),and sepsis with Remi intervention(Sepsis+Remi)groups.Survival rate and survival time were recorded within 72 h after modeling.Intestinal pathological alterations,barrier functional indicators,ZO-1 expression,and macrophage polarization status were observed and detected to evaluate the effects of Remi.Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)was used to treat RAW264.7 cells for 24 h to simulate in vitro sepsis model.The cells were divided into control(Control),LPS,and LPS+Remi groups.Immunofluorescence staining was performed to assess macrophage phenotype,mitochondrial morphology,and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species(MtROS),and Western blotting was applied to detect the protein expression of iNOS and CD206.Results Compared with the sepsis group,Remi intervention significantly improved the survival rate of septic mice from 12.50%to 68.75%and markedly prolonged survival duration(P<0.05).Histopathological analysis demonstrated partial restoration of intestinal villus architecture,accompanied with attenuated interstitial edema and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration after Remi intervention.Furthermore,the intervention group demonstrated significant improvement in functional indicators.Both in vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated elevated iNOS and decreased CD206 expression in the septic mice and LPS-stimulated macrophages(P<0.05),which were partially reversed after Remi intervention.Furthermore,LPS-stimulated macrophages exhibited fragmented mitochondria and elevated MtROS level,whereas Remi intervention ameliorated these conditions(P<0.05).Conclusion Remi protects intestinal barrier function in septic mice by mitigating mitochondrial dynamics imbalance-induced oxidative damage and ameliorating inflammatory macrophage activation.

Objective To observe the effect of Selinexor(SEL)combined with Imatinib(IM)on the proliferation and apoptosis of Imatinib-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia K562/G01(KG)cells and explore the possible mechanisms.Methods K562 cells and KG cells were treated with SEL or IM respectively or in combination.Cells viability was examined by MTT assay.Apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry.BCR-ABL mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.XPO1 was detected by Western blotting.Results IM and SEL both inhibited the proliferation of K562 cells and KG cells;half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)for 48 h was 0.16 μmol/L vs.6.48 μmol/L for IM and 132.0 nmol/L vs.275.9 nmol/L for SEL.Compared with SEL or IM alone,SEL combined with IM significantly inhibited the proliferation of KG cells(P<0.05),induced KG cells apoptosis(P<0.05),downregulated the levels of BCR-ABL mRNA(P<0.05),and inhibited the expressions of XPO1 in KG cells(P<0.05).Conclusion SEL combined with IM can synergistically inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of KG cells,and then inhibit the expressions of BCR-ABL mRNA and XPO1 to exert an anti-leukemia effect.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effects and mechanism of ziyuglycoside Ⅰ on acute lung injury in sepsis rats based on network pharmacology, and conduct experimental verification. METHODS The network pharmacology was used to predict the potential target of ziyuglycoside Ⅰ in the treatment of acute lung injury following sepsis. The rat model of sepsis was reproduced by cecum ligation and puncture for experimental verification. Totally 192 SD rats were randomly divided into the sham operation group (Sham group), sepsis group (Sep group), conventional therapy group (CT group) and ziyuglycoside Ⅰ group (Zg Ⅰ group), respectively. Sham group and Sep group were given sterile normal saline, and CT group and ZgⅠ group were given relevant volume of Ringer’s solution and ziyuglycoside Ⅰ. The arterial blood gas, serum inflammatory factors, lung wet/dry mass ratio, pathological changes of lung tissue, pulmonary vascular permeability, the expressions of pulmonary vein tight junction protein 1 (ZO-1) and vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) protein and 72-hour survival were observed in each group. RESULTS Results of network pharmacology showed that there were 47 potential targets of ziyuglycoside Ⅰ in the treatment of sepsis. The results of gene ontology function enrichment analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathway enrichment analysis showed that the mechanism could 598486924@qq.com be correlated with biological processes such as positive regulation of reactive oxygen species metabolism, wound healing, regulation of endothelial cell proliferation, cell activation, blood vessel development, response to oxidative stress, etc., and with signaling pathway such as apoptosis, tight junction, HIF-1 signaling pathway, etc. The results of experimental verification showed that compared with Sham group, pH value and the level of partial arterial oxygen pressure were decreased significantly in Sep group (P<0.05), while the level of partial pressure of carbon dioxide, serum levels of tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 6 were increased significantly (P<0.05); the ratio of lung wet/dry mass was increased significantly (P<0.05); the protein expressions of ZO-1 and VE-cadherin were decreased significantly (P<0.05); 72 h survival rate decreased,the survival time was significantly shortened (P<0.05); the results of pathological observation of lung tissue showed that the rats’ alveoli were extensively ruptured, the alveolar wall was thickened and accompanied with edema, and there was obvious inflammatory cell infiltration; the results of pulmonary vascular permeability observation showed that the lung surface of rats was dark, with a large amount of Evans blue exudation, and the left lower lung was obviously dark blue. Compared with Sep group, the levels of above indexes almost were reversed significantly in CT group and ZgⅠ group (P<0.05); the lung histopathology and pulmonary vascular permeability were significantly improved, and the recovery degree of ZgⅠ group was greater than that of CT group, which was close to the results of Sham group. CONCLUSIONS Ziyuglycoside Ⅰ can significantly reduce inflammatory reaction and acute lung injury in septic rats, which is related to vascular function and tight junction signal pathway.
