OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impacts of sulforaphane (SPN) on cell proliferation and apoptosis in acute promyelogenous leukemia by regulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. METHODS: NB4 cells were divided into 5 μmol/L SPN group, 10 μmol/L SPN group, 20 μmol/L SPN group, 740 Y-P (10 μmol/L) group and 20 μmol/L SPN+740 Y-P group, and the untreated NB4 cells were used as the control group. CCK-8, Hoechst 33342 staining, flow cytometry and monodansulfonylpentanediamine (MDC) were used to detect cell proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy, respectively. The expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax, cyclin D1 and LC3B mRNA were detected by qRT-PCR. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway-related proteins in NB4 cells. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the proliferation rate, Bcl-2, cyclin D1 mRNA expressions, p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR ratio were greatly increased in the 740 Y-P group (P < 0.05), the apoptosis rate, percentage of MDC positive, Bax and LC3B mRNA expression levels were greatly decreased (P < 0.05). The proliferation rate, Bcl-2, cyclin D1 mRNA expression levels, p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR ratio were greatly decreased in the 5 μmol/L SPN group, 10 μmol/L SPN group, and 20 μmol/L SPN group (P < 0.05), the apoptosis rate, percentage of MDC positive,Bax and LC3B mRNA expression levels were greatly increased, there were differences among different SPN treatment groups (P < 0.05). Compared with the 20 μmol/L SPN group, the proliferation rate, Bcl-2, cyclin D1 mRNA expression levels, p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR ratio were greatly increased in the 20 μmol/L SPN+740 Y-P group(P < 0.05), the apoptosis rate, percentage of MDC positive, Bax and LC3B mRNA expression levels were greatly decreased (P < 0.05). Compared with the 740 Y-P group, the proliferation rate, Bcl-2, cyclin D1 mRNA expression levels, p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR ratio in the 20 μmol/L SPN+740 Y-P group were greatly reduced (P < 0.05), the apoptosis rate, percentage of MDC positive, Bax and LC3B mRNA expression levels were greatly increased (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION SPN reduces the proliferation of acute promyelocytic leukemia cells and promotes cells apoptosis by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of DYRK1A in the cytarabine (Ara-C) resistance mechanism of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. METHODS: Overexpression and silencing of DYRK1A gene in THP-1 cells were used to observe whether the sensitivity of THP-1 cells to Ara-C was altered. RT-PCR was used to detect the changes in mRNA expression of related genes during Ara-C transport or metabolism. Western blot and RT-PCR were used to detect SAMHD1 expression after regulating DYRK1A expression in Ara-C treated cells. Co-IP technology was used to detect the interaction between Cyclin L2, DYRK1A, and SAMHD1. RESULTS: Overexpression of DYRK1A decreased Ara-C sensitivity in THP-1 cells while silencing DYRK1A increased it. Overexpression and silencing of DYRK1A did not affect Ara-C transport or metabolic gene expression. Overexpression of DYRK1A could increase the expression of SAMHD1 protein in cells, while silencing DYRK1A reduced SAMHD1 expression. Cyclin L2 interacted with DYRK1A and SAMHD1 in THP-1 cells. CONCLUSION DYRK1A is involved in Ara-C resistance in AML cells, and its mechanism may be related to increased expression of SAMHD1 by interacting with Cyclin L2.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of histone deacetylase (HDAC) levels on the proliferation and apoptosis of Burkitt lymphoma cells, and the changes in related signaling molecules in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, so as to explore the pathogenesis of Burkitt lymphoma. METHODS: HDAC levels in Burkitt lymphoma were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. CA46 and RAJI cells were treated with the HDAC selective inhibitor VPA. CCK8 assay was used to detect the proliferation ability of cells. Western Blot was used to measure the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway proteins and their phosphorylation levels. RESULTS: The expression levels of classⅠ HDAC in Burkitt lymphoma were higher than those in normal cells, and the HDAC1 inhibitor VPA could inhibit the proliferation of CA46 and RAJI cells. VPA decreased HDAC expression in CA46 and RAJI cells, inhibited the phosphorylation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway molecules AKT and p70S6K, increased the expression of apoptotic proteins Cleaved Caspase-3, Cleaved Caspase-8, Cleaved Caspase-9 and Bax, and decreased the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and PARP. CONCLUSION Inhibition of HDAC activity can Attenuate the proliferation of Burkitt lymphoma cells and induce apoptosis by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway activity.

OBJECTIVES: Injury to human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HCMECs) compromises myocardial microcirculation and may contribute to major cardiovascular events such as coronary heart disease, posing a serious health threat. Understanding the mechanisms of hypoxia-induced HCMEC damage is thus of great clinical relevance. This study aims to investigate the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of Li Qi Huo Xue Di Wan against hypoxia-induced HCMEC injury. METHODS: HCMECs were cultured under hypoxic conditions for 24 hours to establish a cellular model of hypoxic injury. Cells were divided into six groups: normal control, hypoxia, hypoxia + low-dose Li Qi Huo Xue Di Wan, hypoxia + medium-dose, hypoxia + high-dose, and hypoxia + salvianolic acid B (positive control). Cell viability was assessed using the MTS assay. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were measured to evaluate cytotoxicity and oxidative stress. Activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), caspase-3, and caspase-8 were determined with corresponding assay kits. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry, and expression of necroptosis-related proteins, receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and its phosphorylated form (p-RIPK1), receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and its phosphorylated form (p-RIPK3), mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) and its phosphorylated form (p-MLKL), was examined via Western blotting. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, hypoxia significantly decreased cell viability (P<0.01), increased MDA levels (P<0.05), and reduced CAT and SOD activity (P<0.05), accompanied by elevated apoptosis (P<0.01) and increased levels of p-RIPK1, p-RIPK3, and p-MLKL (P<0.05). High-dose Li Qi Huo Xue Di Wan significantly improved cell viability (P<0.01), reduced MDA content (P<0.05), increased CAT activity (P<0.05), and suppressed necroptosis-related protein expression (P<0.05) compared with the hypoxia group. CONCLUSIONS Li Qi Huo Xue Di Wan exerts a protective effect against hypoxia-induced injury in HCMECs. This effect is mediated by attenuation of oxidative stress, thereby reducing both apoptosis and necroptosis.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of Didang Decoction-medicated serum on autophagy in high glucose (HG)-induced rat glomerular endothelial cells (RGECs) and explore the pathway that mediates its effect. METHODS: Primary RGECs were isolated and cultured using sequential sieving combined with collagenase digestion, followed by identification using immunofluorescence assay for factor VIII. High glucose medium was used to induce RGECs to simulate a diabetic environment, and the effects of Didang Decoction-medicated serum and 3-MA (an autophagy inhibitor), either alone or in combination, on autophagy of HG-exposed cells were evaluated by observing autophagic vacuoles using monodansylcadaverine (MDC) staining. RT-qPCR and Western blotting were employed to measure mRNA and protein expression levels of Beclin-1, p62, LC3B, p-PI3K, p-Akt, and p-mTOR. RESULTS: Compared with the control cells, the HG-exposed RGECs showed significantly reduced autophagic fluorescence intensity, decreased Beclin-1 mRNA expression, increased p62 mRNA expression, downregulated Beclin-1 protein and LC3-II/I ratio, and upregulated p62, p-PI3K, p-Akt, and p-mTOR protein levels. Didang Decoction-medicated serum significantly enhanced autophagic fluorescence intensity in HG-exposed cells, increased Beclin-1 mRNA expression, decreased p62 mRNA expression, upregulated Beclin-1 protein, and downregulated p62, p-PI3K, p-Akt, and p-mTOR protein levels. CONCLUSIONS Didang Decoction-medicated serum enhances autophagy in HG-exposed RGECs by regulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, which sheds light on a new therapeutic strategy for diabetic nephropathy.

OBJECTIVES: To observe the effect of 4-(arylethynyl)-pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidine (10b) on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-like behaviors and ERK1/2-SGK1 signaling pathway in mice. METHODS: C57BL/6 mouse models exposed to single prolonged stress (SPS) were treated with daily gavage of saline, 10b at low, moderate and high doses, or paroxetine for 14 days. The changes in PTSD-like behaviors of SPS mice with different treatments were observed using behavioral tests. Western blotting and immunofluorescence assay were used to detect the protein expression levels of mGluR5, p-ERK, and SGK1 in the hippocampus of the mice. Pathological changes in the liver and kidney tissues of the mice were examined using HE staining. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics analyses were employed to evaluate the binding stability between the compound 10b and mGluR5. RESULTS: Compared to the normal control mice, the SPS mice exhibited obvious PTSD-like behaviors with increased hippocampal expressions of mGluR5 and p-ERK proteins and decreased SGK1 protein expression. Compound 10b significantly ameliorated behavioral abnormalities in SPS mice, inhibited mGluR5 expression, and reversed the dysregulation of p-ERK and SGK1. No obvious liver or kidney toxicity was observed after 10b treatment. Molecular docking and dynamics studies demonstrated a stable interaction between 10b and mGluR5. CONCLUSIONS The compound 10b ameliorates PTSD-like behaviors induced by SPS in mice possibly by inhibiting mGluR5 expression to modulate the ERK1/2-SGK1 signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the inhibitory effect of Zheng GanDecoction (ZGF) on tumor progression in a rat model of diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and explore the possible mechanism. METHODS: Seventy SD rats were subjected to regular intraperitoneal injections of DEN (50 mg/kg) for 12 weeks to induce HCC tumorigenesis, with another 10 rats receiving saline injections as the normal control. After successful modeling, the rats were randomized into 5 groups (n=10) for daily treatment with distilled water ( model group), Huaier Granules (4 g/kg; positive control group), or ZGF at low, medium, and high doses (2, 4, and 8 g/kg, respectively) via gavage for 17 weeks. Body weight changes of the rats were monitored, and after completion of the treatments, the rats were euthanized for measurement of liver, spleen and thymus indices and morphological and histopathological examinations of the liver tissues using HE staining. The expressions of YAP, p-YAP, MST1, LATS1 and p-LATS1 in the liver tissues were detected using immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. RESULTS: Compared with the normal control rats, the rat models with DEN-induced HCC exhibited much poorer general condition with a significantly reduced survival rate, increased body weight and liver and spleen indices, and a lowered thymus index. ZGF treatment obviously reduced liver and spleen indices, increased the thymus index, and improved pathologies of the liver tissues of the rat models. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting showed a dose-dependent reduction of YAP expression and an increment of p-YAP expression in ZGF-treated rats, which also exhibited significantly upregulated hepatic expressions of MST1, LATS1 and p-LATS1. CONCLUSIONS ZGF inhibits DEN-induced HCC in rats by activating the Hippo/YAP pathway via upregulating MST1 and LATS1 expression, which promotes YAP phosphorylation and degradation to suppress proliferation and induce apoptosis of the tumor cells.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on autophagy in hypoxic/reoxygenated (H/R) cardiomyocytes and its relationship with the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) signaling pathway. METHODS: The rat cardiomyocyte cell line H9c2 was routinely cultured in vitro and passaged for experiments when the cells grew to 80% fusion. (1) CGRP dosage screening experiment: the cells were divided into blank control group, H/R group and different dosages of CGRP pretreatment groups. H9c2 cells were placed in a closed hypoxia chamber for 2 hours and then reoxygenated in a conventional incubator for 12 hours to prepare the H/R model. The CGRP pretreatment groups were pretreated with 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, and 10 μmol/L CGRP before the modeling process. The blank control group was not given any treatment. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the cell survival rate, and the most suitable drug dosage was screened out. (2) Intervention experiment: H9c2 cells were divided into blank control group, H/R group, CGRP+H/R group, and CGRP+PI3K target inhibitor ly294002 (LY)+H/R group. H/R group was prepared as cellular H/R model. CGRP (1 μmol/L) alone or in combination with LY (10 μmol/L) was administered to CGRP+H/R group and CGRP+LY+H/R group, respectively, prior to the preparation of cellular H/R model. The blank control group was cultured routinely without treatment. The cell survival rate was detected by CCK-8. The level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release was detected by colorimetric assay. The expressions of autophagy-related proteins [autophagy effector protein Beclin-1, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-II (LC3-II), autophagy protein p62] and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway proteins [phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), phosphorylated mTOR (p-mTOR)] were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS: (1) Results of CGRP dosage screening experiment: compared with the blank control group, the cell survival rate of the H/R group decreased significantly; and after giving 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5 μmol/L CGRP for pretreatment, the cell survival rate increased significantly, and intervention effect of 1 μmol/L CGRP was the best, and the difference was statistically significant when compared with that of the H/R group [(74.23±6.18)% vs. (23.43±4.09)%, P < 0.01], so it was used as the intervention dosage for the subsequent experiment. (2) Intervention experiment results: compared with the blank control group, the cell survival rate in the H/R group was significantly reduced, the level of LDH release was significantly increased, the protein expressions of Beclin-1 and LC3-II were significantly increased, and the protein expressions of p62, p-Akt and p-mTOR were significantly reduced, indicating that the death of cardiomyocytes occurred after the treatment of H/R and was accompanied by the elevation of autophagy level, and this process was associated with the activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Compared with the H/R group, CGRP pretreatment increased cell survival rate [(76.02±2.43)% vs. (46.15±3.29)%, P < 0.01], decreased the level of LDH release (U/L: 169.83±11.65 vs. 590.17±34.50, P < 0.01), and down-regulated the protein expressions of Beclin-1 and LC3-II [Beclin-1 protein (Beclin-1/β-actin): 1.27±0.15 vs. 1.93±0.19, LC3-II protein (LC3-II/LC3-I): 1.27±0.13 vs. 1.98±0.18, both P < 0.01], up-regulated the protein expressions of p62, p-Akt, p-mTOR [p62 protein (p62/β-actin): 0.96±0.02 vs. 0.63±0.05, p-Akt protein (p-Akt/Akt): 0.76±0.04 vs. 0.48±0.02, p-mTOR protein (p-mTOR/mTOR): 1.13±0.09 vs. 0.68±0.15, all P < 0.05], suggesting that CGRP was able to reduce the H/R-induced cardiomyocyte injury, and this process was accompanied by a decrease in the level of cellular autophagy and activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Compared with the CGRP+H/R group, the cell survival rate was significantly lower than that in the CGRP+LY+H/R group [(56.95±6.63)% vs. (76.02±2.43)%, P < 0.01], LDH release level was significantly higher (U/L: 436.00±27.44 vs. 169.83±11.65, P < 0.01), and the protein expressions of Beclin-1 and LC3-II were significantly up-regulated [Beclin-1 protein (Beclin-1/β-actin): 1.63±0.12 vs. 1.27±0.15, LC3-II protein (LC3-II/LC3-I): 1.61±0.13 vs. 1.27±0.13, both P < 0.01], and significantly down-regulated p62, p-Akt, and p-mTOR protein expressions [p62 protein (p62/β-actin): 0.57±0.09 vs. 0.96±0.02, p-Akt protein (p-Akt/Akt): 0.45±0.01 vs. 0.76±0.04, p-mTOR protein (p-mTOR/mTOR): 0.66±0.06 vs. 1.13±0.09, all P < 0.05], suggesting that PI3K-targeted inhibitor was able to reverse the protective effect of CGRP on H/R cells. CONCLUSIONS CGRP pretreatment attenuated H/R-induced cardiomyocyte injury, increased cell survival rate, and reduced cellular LDH release. This effect may be achieved through inhibiting the activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Cancer represents a significant disease that profoundly impacts human health and longevity. Projections indicate a 47% increase in the global cancer burden by 2040 compared to 2020, accompanied by a further rise in the associated economic burden. Consequently, there is an urgent need to discover and develop new alternative drugs to mitigate the global impact of cancer. Natural products (NPs) play a crucial role in the identification and development of anticancer therapeutics. This study identified ustusolate E (UE) and its analog 11α-hydroxy-ustusolate E (HUE) from strain Aspergilluscalidoustus TJ403-EL05, and examined their antitumor activities and mechanisms of action. The findings demonstrate that both compounds significantly inhibited the proliferation and colony formation of AGS (human gastric cancer cells) and 786-O (human renal clear cell carcinoma cells), induced irreversible DNA damage, blocked the cell cycle at the G₂/M phase, and further induced apoptosis in tumor cells. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report on the anticancer effects of UE and HUE and their underlying mechanisms. The present study suggests that HUE and UE could serve as lead compounds for the development of novel anticancer drugs.

BACKGROUND: Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death caused by acute ocular hypertension is an important characteristic of acute glaucoma. Receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) that mediates necroptosis is a potential therapeutic target for RGC death. However, the current understanding of the targeting agents and mechanisms of RIPK3 in the treatment of glaucoma remains limited. Notably, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have significantly advanced drug discovery. This study aimed to discover RIPK3 inhibitor with AI assistance. METHODS: An acute ocular hypertension model was used to simulate pathological ocular hypertension in vivo . We employed a series of AI methods, including large language and graph neural network models, to identify the target compounds of RIPK3. Subsequently, these target candidates were validated using molecular simulations (molecular docking, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity [ADMET] prediction, and molecular dynamics simulations) and biological experiments (Western blotting and fluorescence staining) in vitro and in vivo . RESULTS: AI-driven drug screening techniques have the potential to greatly accelerate drug development. A compound called HG9-91-01, identified using AI methods, exerted neuroprotective effects in acute glaucoma. Our research indicates that all five candidates recommended by AI were able to protect the morphological integrity of RGC cells when exposed to hypoxia and glucose deficiency, and HG9-91-01 showed a higher cell survival rate compared to the other candidates. Furthermore, HG9-91-01 was found to protect the retinal structure and reduce the loss of retinal layers in an acute glaucoma model. It was also observed that the neuroprotective effects of HG9-91-01 were highly correlated with the inhibition of PANoptosis (apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis). Finally, we found that HG9-91-01 can regulate key proteins related to PANoptosis, indicating that this compound exerts neuroprotective effects in the retina by inhibiting the expression of proteins related to apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis. CONCLUSION AI-enabled drug discovery revealed that HG9-91-01 could serve as a potential treatment for acute glaucoma.
