Polygonum cuspidatum Extract Exerts Antihyperlipidemic Effects by Regulation of PI3K/AKT/FOXO3 Signaling Pathway.

ABSTRACT: Polygonum cuspidatum (PC) has been reported to exert a potent antihyperlipidemic effect. However, its mechanisms of action and active ingredients remain elusive and require further research. In this study, we first conducted in vivo experiments to validate that Polygonum cuspidatum extract (PCE) could ameliorate the blood lipid level in hyperlipidemia model rats. Then, ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q-Exactive MS/MS (UPLC-QE-MS/MS) was applied to verify its 12 main active ingredients. The pharmacophore matching model was employed to predict the target point of the active ingredient, and 27 overlapping genes were identified via database and literature mining. String online database and Cytoscape software were utilized to construct a Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network, followed by function annotation analysis and pathway enrichment analysis. The results showed that the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and its downstream FOXO3/ERα factors were significantly enriched. Furthermore, in vitro experiments were performed to determine the lipid content and oxidative stress (OS) indicators in OA-induced HepG2 cells, and immunofluorescence and western blotting analysis were carried out to analyze the effects of PCE on related proteins. Our experimental results show that the mechanism of antihyperlipidemic action of PCE is related to the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and its downstream FOXO3/ERα factors, and polydatin and resveratrol are the main active ingredients in PCE that exert antihyperlipidemic effects.

Polygonum cuspidatum Extract (Pc-Ex) Containing Emodin Suppresses Lung Cancer-Induced Cachexia by Suppressing TCF4/TWIST1 Complex-Induced PTHrP Expression.

Project description:Cachexia, which is characterised by the wasting of fat and skeletal muscles, is the most common risk factor for increased mortality rates among patients with advanced lung cancer. PTHLH (parathyroid hormone-like hormone) is reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of cancer cachexia. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of PTHLH expression and the inhibitors of PTHLH have not yet been identified. The PTHLH mRNA levels were measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, while the PTHrP (parathyroid hormone-related protein) expression levels were measured using Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The interaction between TCF4 (Transcription Factor 4) and TWIST1 and the binding of the TCF4-TWIST1 complex to the PTHLH promoter were analysed using co-immunoprecipitation and chromatin immunoprecipitation. The results of the mammalian two-hybrid luciferase assay revealed that emodin inhibited TCF4-TWIST1 interaction. The effects of Polygonum cuspidatum extract (Pc-Ex), which contains emodin, on cachexia were investigated in vivo using A549 tumour-bearing mice. Ectopic expression of TCF4 upregulated PTHLH expression. Conversely, TCF4 knockdown downregulated PTHLH expression in lung cancer cells. The expression of PTHLH was upregulated in cells ectopically co-expressing TCF4 and TWIST1 when compared with that in cells expressing TCF4 or TWIST1 alone. Emodin inhibited the interaction between TCF4 and TWIST1 and consequently suppressed the TCF4/TWIST1 complex-induced upregulated mRNA and protein levels of PTHLH and PTHrP. Meanwhile, emodin-containing Pc-Ex significantly alleviated skeletal muscle atrophy and downregulated fat browning-related genes in A549 tumour-bearing mice. Emodin-containing Pc-Ex exerted therapeutic effects on lung cancer-associated cachexia by inhibiting TCF4/TWIST1 complex-induced PTHrP expression.

SPAG5 interacts with CEP55 and exerts oncogenic activities via PI3K/AKT pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundDeregulation of microtubules and centrosome integrity is response for the initiation and progression of human cancers. Sperm-associated antigen 5 (SPAG5) is essential for the spindle apparatus organization and chromosome segregation, but its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains undefined.MethodsThe expression of SPAG5 in HCC were examined in a large cohort of patients by RT-PCR, western blot and IHC. The clinical significance of SPAG5 was next determined by statistical analyses. The biological function of SPAG5 in HCC and the underlying mechanisms were investigated, using in vitro and in vivo models.ResultsHere, we demonstrated that SPAG5 exhibited pro-HCC activities via the activation of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. SPAG5 expression was increased in HCC and correlated with poor outcomes in two independent cohorts containing 670 patients. High SPAG5 expression was associated with poor tumor differentiation, larger tumor size, advanced TNM stage, tumor vascular invasion and lymph node metastasis. In vitro and in vivo data showed that SPAG5 overexpression promoted tumor growth and metastasis, whereas SPAG5 knockdown led to the opposite phenotypes. SPAG5 interacted with centrosomal protein CEP55 to trigger the phosphorylation of AKT at Ser473. Inhibition of PI3K/AKT signaling markedly attenuated SPAG5-mediated cell growth. Furthermore, SPAG5 expression was suppressed by miR-363-3p which inhibited the activity of SPAG5 mRNA 3'UTR. Ectopic expression of SPAG5 partly abolished the miR-363-3p-caused cell cycle arrest and suppression of cell proliferation and migration.ConclusionsCollectively, these findings indicate that SPAG5 serves a promising prognostic factor in HCC and functions as an oncogene via CEP55-mediated PI3K/AKT pathway. The newly identified miR-363-3p/SPAG5/CEP55 axis may represent a potential therapeutic target for the clinical intervention of HCC.

Fangchinoline exerts antitumour activity by suppressing the EGFR‑PI3K/AKT signalling pathway in colon adenocarcinoma.

Project description:Fangchinoline (FAN), an alkaloid extracted from Stephania tetrandra, has a variety of biological and pharmacological activities, but evidence of its effects on colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is limited. Therefore, the present study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which FAN affects COAD. The cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation of DLD‑1 and LoVo cells were assessed in the presence of FAN using MTT and colony formation assays. The effects of FAN on apoptosis and the cell cycle in COAD cells were analysed by flow cytometry, and the migration and invasion of these cells were assessed by wound healing and Transwell experiments. Furthermore, a network pharmacological analysis was conducted to investigate the target of FAN and the results were confirmed by western blotting. In addition, a xenograft model was established in nude mice, and ultrasound imaging was used to assess the preclinical therapeutic effects of FAN in vivo. To the best of our knowledge, the results of this study provided the first evidence that FAN inhibited cellular proliferation, stemness, migration, invasion, angiogenesis and epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT), and induced apoptosis and G1‑phase cell cycle arrest. Network pharmacological analysis further confirmed that FAN prevented EMT through the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‑phosphoinositide 3‑kinase (PI3K)/AKT signalling pathway. Finally, FAN significantly repressed tumour growth and promoted apoptosis in xenografts. Thus, targeting EGFR with FAN may offer a novel therapeutic approach for COAD.

Octaketide Synthase from Polygonum cuspidatum Implements Emodin Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Plant anthranoids are medicinally used for their purgative properties. Their scaffold was believed to be formed by octaketide synthase (OKS), a member of the superfamily of type III polyketide synthase (PKS) enzymes. Here, a cDNA encoding OKS of Polygonum cuspidatum was isolated using a homology-based cloning strategy. When produced in Escherichia coli, P. cuspidatum octaketide synthase (PcOKS) catalyzed the condensation of eight molecules of malonyl-CoA to yield a mixture of unphysiologically folded aromatic octaketides. However, when the ORF for PcOKS was expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana, the anthranoid emodin was detected in the roots of transgenic lines. No emodin was found in the roots of wild-type A. thaliana. This result indicated that OKS is the key enzyme of plant anthranoids biosynthesis. In addition, the root growth of the transgenic A. thaliana lines was inhibited to an extent that resembled the inhibitory effect of exogenous emodin on the root growth of wild-type A. thaliana. Immunochemical studies of P. cuspidatum plants detected PcOKS mainly in roots and rhizome, in which anthranoids accumulate. Co-incubation of E. coli - produced PcOKS and cell-free extract of wild-type A. thaliana roots did not form a new product, suggesting an alternative, physiological folding of PcOKS and its possible interaction with additional factors needed for anthranoids assembling in transgenic A. thaliana. Thus, transgenic A. thaliana plants producing PcOKS provide an interesting system for elucidating the route of plant anthranoid biosynthesis.
