Project description:The cellular responses to the steroid hormones, estrogen (E2), and progesterone (P4) are governed by their cognate receptor’s transcriptional output. Although multiple mechanisms including the tissue-specific coactivators dictate these transcriptional signatures, the feed-forward mechanisms, that evolved to coordinate the cell-type specific transcriptional fulcrums for steroid receptors are not yet identified. In this report, we found that a common feed-forward mechanism between GREB1 and steroid receptors governs the differential effect of GREB1 on steroid hormones in a physiological or pathological context. We found that in physiological (receptive) endometrium, GREB1 is essential for progesterone but not estrogenic responses, whereas in endometriosis, an E2-dependent endometrial pathology, it pre-dominantly mediates estrogenic actions. Specifically, the deletion of GREB1 curtails endometrial receptivity and decidualization, owing to impaired P4-dependent stromal cell proliferation. In contrast, GREB1 is not required for E2-mediated epithelial proliferation of the receptive uterus. Of mechanism, in receptive endometrium, progesterone-induced GREB1 physically interacts with the progesterone receptor on chromatin and functions as a cofactor in a positive feedback mechanism to selectively regulate P4-responses. In pathological conditions (endometriosis), ablation of GREB1 led to the development of smaller endometriotic lesions in mice and reduced E2-driven proliferation of human endometriotic cells. Moreover, E2-induced GREB1 modulated the E2-dependent target gene expression in a feed-forward mechanism. Collectively, acting as a downstream effector, GREB1 governs either P4-responses or E2-responses depending on the physiological or pathological setting. Importantly, this differential action of GREB1 is exerted by a common feed-forward mechanism between GREB1 and steroid receptors, which conceptually advances our understanding of the mechanism(s) that underlie the distinct cell- and tissue-specific actions of steroid hormones.

Project description:This study explores how quercetin may treat endometriosis (EMs) by combining network pharmacology and transcriptome sequencing approaches. Through network pharmacology, 132 shared targets between quercetin and EMs were identified, with KEGG pathway analysis suggesting that the MAPK signaling pathway could be a significant therapeutic target. Transcriptome sequencing revealed that PDGFRB was highly expressed in ectopic endometrial tissue, a finding confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) showing elevated levels of PDGFRB, RAS, RAF1, and ERK1/2 in ectopic lesions. In an EMs mouse model, quercetin treatment led to a marked reduction in ectopic lesion volume, lowered adhesion scores, and decreased expression of PDGFRB, RAS, RAF1, and ERK1/2 in endometrial tissues. Additionally, the knockdown of PDGFRB in endometriosis cells inhibited their proliferation, invasion, and migration, processes critical to EMs pathology. Quercetin treatment further suppressed cell viability and downregulated the protein expression of RAS, phosphorylated RAF1, RAF1, phosphorylated ERK, and ERK1/2. These findings collectively suggest that quercetin exerts its therapeutic effect in endometriosis by regulating the MAPK signaling pathway via PDGFRB, thereby reducing EMs cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. This study provides insights into quercetin’s multi-targeted mechanism of action in endometriosis treatment.

Project description:Network pharmacology study indicated that Puerarin (PUE), wogonin (WOG), berberine (BER) and glycyrrhetinic acid (GLY) were the active components in GQD and performed synergistic effect on the targets of the Wnt signaling pathway. Pharmacologic research revealed that WOG, BER, GLY performed inhibited effect on SW480 cells and PUE only exhibited effective antitumor activity when combined with GLY. RNA-seq were used to discover synergistic mechanism of PUE-GLY and CTNNB1, CCND1, SMAD4 were identified as synergistic targets inhibited by PUE-GLY. Moreover, mechanism study explored PUE-GLY could affect the Wnt signaling pathway by up-regulated GSK3B and down-regulated CTNNB1 synergistically. Importantly, it showed that GLY could effectively increase the intracellular content of PUE based on HPLC/MS analysis, and this process was achieved by GLY through influencing the targets of membrane’s pathway, such as cell adhesion molecules, focal adhesion and tight junction. Our study revealed multi-target mechanism of GLY, down-regulated CTNNB1 as the material for efficacy and intervene membrane protein (CDH1, CADM1, ITGB2, ICAM1) as courier in the formulae. Moreover, the mechanism of synergistic antitumor action of Puerariae Lobatae Radix (Gegen-Monarch) and Glycyrrhiza Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao-Assistant) on Wnt signaling pathway was explored systematically.

Project description:Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic that can cause substantial weight gain. The pharmacological targets and molecular mechanisms related to risperidone-induced lipogenesis (RIL) remain to be elucidated. Therefore, network pharmacology and further experimental validation were undertaken to explore the action mechanisms of RIL. In this study, RIL was systematically analyzed using integrating multiple databases through integrated network pharmacology, transcriptomics, molecular docking, and molecular experiment analysis. The potential signaling pathways for RIL were identified and experimentally validated using Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. Our experimental data showed that Risperidone promotes adipocyte differentiate and lipid accumulation. And network pharmacology and GO analyses showed that risperidone induced adipocyte metabolism, differentiation, and lipid accumulation related functions. Intersecting analysis, molecular docking, and pathway validation analysis indicated that risperidone activated adipocytokine signaling pathway related genes by targeting MAPK14 (Mitogen-activated protein kinase 14), MAPK8 (Mitogen-activated protein kinase 8), and RXRA (Retinoic acid receptor RXR-alpha), thereby inhibiting long-chain fatty acid beta-oxidation by suppressing STAT3 (Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) expression and phosphorylation. This study suggested that Risperidone increases adipocyte lipid accumulation by plausible inhibiting long-chain fatty acid beta-oxidation through targeting MAPK14, MAPK8, and RXRA.

Project description:We have published a novel method for the large-scale in vitro generation of megakaryocytes (MKs), the blood platelet precursors, by applying a transcription factor (TF) driven forward programming strategy to human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). We have demonstrated that the concurrent expression of GATA1, FLI1 and TAL1 in hPSCs and chemically defined culture conditions with minimal supportive cytokines produce highly pure MK cultures with long-term growth and release of functional platelets. Unravelling the molecular mechanisms underlying MK forward programming will bring biological insights that shall lead to improvements of the MK programming technology. Particularly, we have been focusing on the characterisation of the MK progenitor that allows long-term expansion of pure MK cultures, which is a key asset of the method. Using single cell RNA sequencing of long-term cultures, we have started to identify and functionally confirmed surface markers of the MK progenitor.

Project description:Wang Bi Tablet (WBT) exhibits effective power in clinic during the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in China. We aimed to employ the “integrative pharmacology strategy”, including rapid analysis of chemical composition, pharmacological experiment, and network pharmacology analysis, to delineate the main active components and reveal the underlying mechanism of WBT acting on RA. UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS provided the chemical fingerprint of WBT and UNIFI 1.8 software assisted in chemical composition identification by matching the MSE raw data to the in-house library. The anti-inflammatory effect of WBT was evaluated in TNF-α- stimulated RAW264.7 cells by ELISA and transcriptome sequencing. Network pharmacology analysis was carried out based on Integrative Pharmacology-based Network Computational Research Platform of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCMIP V2.0, http://www.tcmip.cn/). Functional enrichment and network visualization was performed by DAVID v6.8 and NaviGator v3.0 respectively. Altogether, 293 chemical constituents were preliminarily identified or tentatively characterized in the extract of WBT, and it could effectively against inflammatory response in TNF-α-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. One hundred and thirty-five hub genes were delineated based on the network construction of “Anti-inflammatory Core Genes-Putative Targets-RA genes”, which were mainly involved in inflammation-immune regulation, closely relating to the occurrence and development of RA, such as Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, Chemokine signaling pathway, etc., Forty-eight key active constituents were selected according to the frequency binding to hub targets and contents in WBT, corresponding to 13 herbal medicines. In summary, it is the first time to explore the active constituents and underlying mechanism of WBT acting on RA using integrative pharmacology strategy, which may provide an efficient way for the analysis of chemical constituents and exploration of pharmacological mechanism of TCM.

Project description:Wang Bi Granule (WBG), composed of 16 botanical drugs and 1 animal drug, is clinically used to treat “Wang Bi” syndrome, which mainly refers to later rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in modern medicine, as well as ankylosing spondylitis, tuberculous arthritis, and Kashin-Beck disease characterized by joint pain and swelling deformation. However, its chemical composition and pharmacological mechanisms have not been clarified. Therefore, in the present study we aimed to characterize the chemical components of WBG and explore its mechanism in treating RA using integrative pharmacology, including chemical composition detection, efficacy evaluation, and mechanism exploration. We employed UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS to describe the chemical profile of WBG, TNF-α-stimulated RAW264.7 cells to simulate inflammatory process of RA and evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of WBG, and network pharmacology to mine the mechanism of WBG acting on RA. As a result, a total of 278 chemical components were identified or tentatively characterized and the water extract of WBG improved the imbalance of inflammation by regulating 179 differential genes in RAW264.7 cells induced by TNF-α. 55 key active constituents were obtained based on the interactions among “components’ targets, RA-related genes, and differential genes (WBG vs TNF-α group)”, which may ameliorate RA conditions by regulating 161 hub genes that mainly involved in inflammation-immune related pathways. The present study, for the first time, employed integrative pharmacology to characterize the chemical profile of WBG and reveal its mechanism against RA through inflammation-immune regulation system.
