Aim To explore the compatibility and po-tential mechanism of effective components of Biejia-Ezhu against triple negative breast cancer(TNBC)and verify it by experiments.Methods Effective compo-nents and targets of Biejia-Ezhu were obtained by TC-MSP and Swiss Target Prediction.Disease targets of TNBC were obtained from OMMI and GeneCards data-bases.The PPI network was constructed using STRING database.GO and KEGG path enrichment analysis was performed using DAVID database.Cytoscape3.9.1 software was used to construct the"drug-component-target-disease"network,screen key targets and compo-nents for molecular docking,and further verify the com-patibility of key components and targets in vitro.Re-sults ① A total of 71 effective components were iden-tified in the Biejia-Ezhu drug pair.There were 146 drug targets associated with the disease.A total of 113 signaling pathways were identified by KEGG analysis.The 71 potential active components of Biejia-Ezhu mainly acted on key targets such as mTORC1,ULK1,TNF,EGFR,ESR1,STAT3,HIF1A,and PTGS2.Mo-lecular docking results showed that glycine and curcu-min were the key active components of Biejia-Ezhu,and both had strong docking activity against key target proteins mTORC1 and ULK1.②The results of in vitro experiment showed that glycine combined with curcu-min significantly inhibited the proliferation and clonal formation ability of TNBC cells(P＜0.05),up-regula-ted the expression of autophagy marker LC3 Ⅱ/Ⅰ,down-regulated the expression of EGFR,down-regula-ted the expression of pathway protein mTORC1,p-mTOR,p-ULK1,and promoted the expression of path-way protein ULK1(P＜0.05).Conclusion The key component of Biejia-Ezhu against triple-negative breast cancer is glycine-curcumin,the mechanism of which may be related to the regulation of the mTORC1/ULK1 signaling pathway to promote autophagy.

Objective:To investigate the effects of exosomes secreted by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) during osteogenic differentiation on the polarization of Raw264.7 macrophages and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.Methods:PBS, uninduced BMSCs conditioned medium (CM), and osteogenic induction BMSCs CM for 7 d, 14 d, and 21 d were respectively added to Raw264.7 macrophages. After 48 h of treatment, Western blotting was used to detect and compare the expression of M1 markers of macrophages [inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and CD86] and M2 markers of macrophages [arginase-1 (ARG-1) and CD163] in each group. In addition, Raw264.7 macrophages were divided into three groups: the PBS group (only PBS added), the BMSCs-exo group (exosomes derived from uninduced BMSCs were added), and 7D-BMSCs-exo (exosomes derived from BMSCs were added after 7 days of osteogenic induction). The absorbance values of Raw264.7 cells in each group at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h were detected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader. Western blotting was performed to assess changes of M1 or M2 marker proteins in Raw264.7 macrophages treated by exosome. The supernatants of the three groups of Raw264.7 macrophages were then co-cultured with BMSCs. Alizarin Red staining was used to quantify the formation of mineralized nodules, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining was used to evaluate the osteogenic activity, and the expression levels of osteogenesis-related proteins Runx2, ALP, osteopontin (OPN), and osteocalcin (OCN) were detected. The migration ability of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) was detected by scratch assay for migration distance, and the angiogenesis ability was detected by in vitro tube formation assay for the number of vascular rings formed. The expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) were detected by Western blot. The activation of the MAPK signaling pathway was evaluated by measuring phosphorylated and total P38 and ERK1/2 levels.Results:Western blot analysis showed that CM from BMSCs after 7 days of osteogenic induction (7D-BMSCs-CM) induced the strongest M2 polarization in macrophages. Compared with the PBS group, 7D-BMSCs-CM induced the most significant polarization of Raw264.7 macrophages to the M2 type, and increased ARG-1 and CD163 expression to 1.36±0.09 and 1.69±0.09, respectively ( P<0.05), while decreasing iNOS and CD86 to 0.21±0.03 and 0.29±0.03 ( P<0.05). The absorbance values of macrophages in the 7D-BMSCs-exo group were significantly higher than those in the PBS group at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h ( P<0.05). Compared with BMSCs-exo group, 7D-BMSCs-exo upregulated the expressions of CD163 and ARG-1 while inhibited the expressions of iNOS and CD86 ( P<0.05). Alizarin red staining showed enhanced mineral deposition and a higher degree of mineralization in the 7D-BMSCs-exo group, the staining intensity of ALP also increased simultaneously, the Western-blot results showed that the protein expressions of Runx2, ALP, OPN and OCN were respectively higher than those in the PBS group ( P<0.05). The results of the scratch assay showed that the relative migration distance of EPCs cells in the 7D-BMSCS-exo group at 24 h reached 2.30±0.05 μm, which was higher than that in the PBS group 1.10±0.02 μm ( P<0.05). The Tube formation experiment showed that the number of vascular rings in the EPCs group was higher than that in the PBS group (30.3±2.5 and 15.0±1.0, P<0.05), and the protein expressions of VEGF-A and PDGF were upregulated. Furthermore, the levels of phosphorylated P38 and ERK1/2 were significantly reduced in the 7D-BMSCs-exo group 0.40±0.06 and 0.25±0.06 compared with the PBS group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Exosomes secreted by BMSCs during osteogenic differentiation promote the M2 polarization of Raw264.7 macrophages, with the most pronounced effect observed at the 7th day. M2-polarized macrophages, in turn, enhance the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and the angiogenic capacity of EPCs. These processes are closely associated with the suppression of the MAPK signaling pathway.
