Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Houttuynia cordata Thunb and phylogenetic relationships.

ABSTRACT: In this study, I presented the chloroplast genome of Houttuynia cordata Thunb using BGISEQ-500 sequencing data. Its chloroplast genome is 160,226 bp in size. It contains a pair of inverted repeat regions of 26,853 bp, each separating a small single copy region of 18,340 bp and a large single copy region of 88,180 bp. Totally, 112 unique genes, including 78 protein coding genes, 30 tRNAs and 4 rRNAs, were identified and annotated in the chloroplast genome. Phylogenetic maximum likelihood analysis indicated that H. cordata Thunb is closest to Piper cenocladu.

Project description:Houttuynia cordata Thunb (H. cordata; Saururaceae) is widely distributed in Asian regions. It plays an important role in traditional health care and disease treatment, as its aboveground stems and leaves have a long medicinal history in China and are used in the treatment of pneumonia and lung abscess. In clinical treatment, it can usually be combined with other drugs to treat dysentery, cold, fever, and mumps; additionally, H. cordata is an edible plant. This review summarizes detailed information on the phytochemistry and pharmacological effects of H. cordata. By searching the keywords "H. cordata and lung", "H. cordata and heart", "H. cordata and liver", and "H. cordata and inflammation" in PubMed, Web of Science and ScienceDirect, we screened out articles with high correlation in the past ten years, sorted out the research contents, disease models and research methods of the articles, and provided a new perspective on the therapeutic effects of H. cordata. A variety of its chemical constituents are characteristic of medicinal plants, the chemical constituents were isolated from H. cordata, including volatile oils, alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenolic acids. Flavonoids and volatile oils are the main active components. In pharmacological studies, H. cordata showed organ protective activity, such as reducing the release of inflammatory factors to alleviate lung injury. Moreover, H. cordata regulates immunity, enhances the immune barriers of the vagina, oral cavity, and intestinal tract, and combined with the antibacterial and antiviral activity of its extract, effectively reduces pathogen infection. Furthermore, experiments in vivo and in vitro showed significant anti-inflammatory activity, and its chemical derivatives exert potential therapeutic activity against rheumatoid arthritis. Antitumour action is also an important pharmacological activity of H. cordata, and studies have shown that H. cordata has a notable effect on lung tumour, liver tumour, colon tumour, and breast tumour. This review categorizes the biological activities of H. cordata according to modern research papers, and provides insights into disease prevention and treatment of H. cordata.
