OBJECTIVE To investigate the targeting effect of folic acid-modified crebanine nanoparticles (FA-Cre@PEG- PLGA NPs, hereinafter referred to as “NPs”) combined with ultrasound irradiation on M109 cells in vitro and in vivo after administration, and explore the anti-tumor mechanism. METHODS CCK-8 assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation on the proliferation of M109 cells, and the best ultrasound time was selected. Using human lung cancer A549 cells as a control, the targeting of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation to M109 cells was evaluated by free folic acid blocking assay and cell uptake assay. The effects of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation on the migration, invasion, apoptosis, cell cycle and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels of M109 cells were detected by cell scratch test, Transwell chamber test and flow cytometry at 1 h after 958401536@qq.com administration; the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were observed by fluorescence inverted microscope. A mouse subcutaneous tumor model of M109 cells was constructed, and the in vivo tumor targeting of NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation was investigated by small animal in vivo imaging technology. RESULTS NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation could significantly inhibit the proliferation of M109 cells, and the optimal ultrasound time was 1 h after administration. The free folic acid could antagonize the inhibitory effect of NPs on the proliferation of M109 cells, and combined with ultrasound irradiation could partially reverse this antagonism. Compared with A549 cells, the uptake rate of NPs in M109 cells was significantly higher (P<0.01), and ultrasound irradiation could promote cellular uptake. NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation could inhibit the migration and invasion of M109 cells and block the cell cycle in the G0/G1 and G2/M phases. Compared with control group, the apoptosis rate of M109 cells and ROS level were increased significantly (P<0.01), while the MMP decreased significantly (P<0.01) in the different concentration (100, 200, 300 μg/mL) groups of M109 cells. Compared with the mice in non-ultrasound group, the fluorescence intensity and tumor-targeting index of the tumor site in the 0 h ultrasound group were significantly enhanced (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS NPs combined with ultrasound irradiation have a strong targeting effect on M109 cells in vitro and in vivo, the anti-tumor mechanism includes inhibiting cell migration and invasion, blocking cell cycle, and inducing apoptosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Shegan Mahuangtang and its pungent and bitter Chinese herbs on the expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) and bitter taste receptor 14 (TAS2R14) in the lung tissue of the rat model of cold asthma. MethodSeventy SD rats were randomized into 7 groups: normal, model, Shegan Mahuangtang, pungent Chinese herbs, bitter Chinese herbs (6.43 g·kg-1), dexamethasone (0.5 g·kg-1), and Guilong Kechuanning (10 g·kg-1). The rat model of cold asthma was established by intraperitoneal injection and subcutaneous injection of 10% ovalbumin (OVA) and aluminium hydroxide in the limbs, combined with 2% OVA atomization and cold (2-4 ℃) stimulation. The rats were treated with corresponding drugs by gavage and atomization, and the normal and model groups were treated with the same amount of normal saline for 3 weeks. After the last excitation, airway inflammation and cell proliferation were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE), periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), and Masson staining of the lung tissue. The levels of interleukin-5 (IL-5), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in the serum were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of TRPV1 and TAS2R14 was detected by immunofluorescence. The expression of TRPV1, TAS2R14, phospholipase Cβ2 (PLCβ2), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in the lung tissue was determined by Western blot. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed decreased water intake, food intake, and body weight, increased airway inflammatory cell infiltration, goblet cell proliferation, tissue fibrosis and collagen deposition, elevated levels of IL-5, TNF-α, TSLP, and TGF-β1 in the serum (P<0.01), upregulated expression of TRPV1, PLCβ2, and α-SMA, and downregulated expression of TAS2R14 and Bcl-2 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with model group, Shecgan Mahuangtang, pungent Chinese herbs, and bitter Chinese herbs increased the water intake, food intake, and body weight, reduced the inflammatory cell infiltration and goblet cell proliferation, alleviated tissue fibrosis and collagen deposition, lowered the levels of IL-5, TNF-α, TSLP, and TGF-β1 in the serum (P<0.01), downregulated the expression of TRPV1, PLCβ2, and α-SMA, and upregulated the expression of TAS2R14 and Bcl-2 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionShegan Mahuangtang and its pungent and bitter Chinese herbs can reduce OVA-induced airway inflammation, downregulate the expression of TRPV1, PLCβ2, and α-SMA, and upregulate the expression of TAS2R14 and Bcl-2 in asthmatic rats. Moreover, bitter Chinese herbs outperformed pungent Chinese herbs, and the combination of them enhanced the therapeutic effect. It is suggested that Shegan Mahuangtang and its pungent and bitter Chinese herbs may ameliorate the OVA-induced airway inflammation by inhibiting TRPV1 and activating TAS2R14.
