OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Tongxie yaofang (TXYF) on the symptoms of rats with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) by regulating colonic tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH1), serotonin transporter (SERT) and intestinal flora. METHODS Forty-two SD rats were randomly divided into control group (7 rats) and modeling group (35 rats). In modeling group, rat model of IBS-D was established by intragastrical administration of 0.45 g/L senna leaf solution [10 mL/(kg·d)] combined with chronic unpredictable stimulation. Thirty-five successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group, pinaverium bromide group [15 mg/(kg·d)] and TXYF low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups [3.75、7.5、15 g/(kg·d), calculated by crude drug], with 7 rats in each group. Each administration group was orally administered the corresponding drug, once a day, for 10 consecutive days. The general condition and weight changes of each group of rats were compared before modeling, after modeling and before administration, after the last drug intervention; the diarrhea index and visceral sensitivity were detected, and pathological changes of colon tissue were observed after modeling and before administration, after the last drug intervention. The level and expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), protein and mRNA expressions of TPH1 and SERT were determined in colon tissue. The diversity and structural changes of fecal intestinal flora of rats were analyzed. RESULTS There was no significant change in colon histopathology in each group. Compared with model group, the general condition of rats in each medication group improved. The daily body weight gain of rats was significantly increased, while diarrhea index, visceral sensitivity, the expressions of 5-HT and TPH1 in colon tissue were significantly decreased; SERT expression of colon tissue was significantly increased in TXYF medium-dose and high-dose groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The diarrhea index, colon TPH1 protein expression and colon 5-HT protein positive rate in the TXYF low-dose group decreased while the mRNA expression of SERT increased significantly (P<0.05). There was a dose- dependent trend in the effect of TXYF. Compared with model group, Chao1 index and Shannon index of the rats in TXYF high- dose group were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), the beneficial bacteria such as Firmicutes and Lactobacillus increased significantly, while the pathogenic bacteria such as Proteobacteria, Escherichia-Shigella and Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_ group decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS TXYF can decrease the level of 5-HT and improve intestinal flora disorder by inhibiting the expression of TPH1 and up-regulating the expression of SERT in colon tissue, thus promoting the symptoms of IBS-D rats.

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are proline-induced serine/threonine kinases that are primarily involved in the regulation of cell cycle, gene transcription, and cell differentiation. In general, CDKs are activated by binding to specific regulatory subunits of cell cycle proteins and are regulated by phosphorylation of specific T-loops by CDK activated kinases. In the CDKs family, cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) is a specialized member whose activity is triggered only by interaction with p35 and p39, which do not have the same sequence as the cell cycle proteins, and this may be one reason why CDK5 is distinguished from other CDK members by its structural and functional differences. In addition, unlike most CDK members that require phosphorylation at specific sites to function, CDK5 does not require such phosphorylation, and it can be activated simply by binding to p35 and p39. More notably, inhibitors that are commonly used to inhibit the activity of other CDK members have almost zero effect on CDK5. In contrast, CDK5, as a unique CDK family member, plays an important role in the development of numerous diseases. In metabolic diseases, elevated CDK5 expression leads to decreased insulin secretion, increased foam cell formation and triggers decreased bone mass in the body, thus accelerating metabolic diseases, and the role of CDK5 in bone biology is gradually gaining attention, and the role of CDK5 in bone metabolic diseases may become a hotspot for research in the future; in neurodegenerative diseases, hyperphosphorylation of Tau protein is an important hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease development, and changes in CDK5 expression are associated with Tau protein phosphorylation and nerve death, indicating that CDK5 is highly related to the development of the nervous system; in tumor diseases, the role of CDK5 in the proliferation, differentiation and migration and invasion of tumor cells marks the development of tumorigenesis, but different researchers hold different views, and further studies are needed in the follow-up. Therefore, the study of its mechanism of action in diseases can help to reveal the pathogenesis and pathological process of diseases. Appropriate exercise not only helps in the prevention of diseases, but also plays a positive role in the treatment of diseases. Exercise-induced mechanical stress can improve bone microstructure and increase bone mass in osteoporosis patients. In addition, exercise can effectively inhibit neuronal apoptosis and improve mitochondrial dysfunction, more importantly, appropriate exercise can inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells to a certain extent. It can be seen that exercise occupies a pivotal position in the prevention and treatment of pathologic diseases. It has been shown that exercise can reduce the expression of CDK5 and affect the pathological process of neurological diseases. Currently, there is a dearth of research on the specific mechanisms of CDK5’s role in improving disease outcomes through exercise. In order to understand its effects more comprehensively, subsequent studies need to employ diverse exercise modalities, targeting patients with various types of diseases or corresponding animal models for in-depth exploration. This article focuses on the pathological functions of CDK5 and its relationship with exercise, with a view to providing new insights into the prevention and treatment of disease by CDK5.
