Hair loss is one of the skin conditions that can affect people’s mental health. Plant raw material extracts are great interest due to their safety. In this study, we utilize reverse network pharmacology screen for key targets Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and TGFβ/BMP pathway, as well differential lipids, plant materials selection. The aim identify may have anti-hair properties validate these findings through cell experiments. Licorice, salvia miltiorrhiza, mulberry leaf, ephedra curcumae radix were found possess effects. Licorice water extract (LWE), miltiorrhiza (SMWE), leaf (MLWE), (EWE) (CRWE) did not exhibit cytotoxicity on human dermal papilla cells (HDPCs). Through ALP staining, it was expression in HDPCs treated with LWE, SMWE, MLWE, EWE CRWE enhanced. addition, reduced hair growth inhibitory factor TGF-β1 inflammatory IL-6. Additionally, various enhance secretion VEGF, high concentrations exhibiting better efficacy. Furthermore, β-catenin, a enhanced by treatment cultured HDPCs. conclusion, all five showed some potential, providing theoretical support application products.

A Direct Relationship Between ‘Blood Stasis’ and Fibrinaloid Microclots in Chronic, Inflammatory, and Vascular Diseases, and Some Traditional Natural Products Approaches to Treatment

Pharmaceuticals, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 18(5), P. 712 - 712

‘Blood stasis’ (syndrome) (BSS) is a fundamental concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where it known as Xue Yu (血瘀). Similar concepts exist Korean (‘Eohyul’) and Japanese Kampo medicine (Oketsu). Blood stasis considered to underpin large variety of inflammatory diseases, though an exact equivalent Western systems yet be described. Some time ago we discovered that blood can clot into anomalous amyloid form, creating what have referred fibrinaloid microclots. These microclots occur great many chronic, diseases are comparatively resistant fibrinolysis, thus the ability block microcapillaries hence lower oxygen transfer tissues, with multiple pathological consequences. We here develop idea precisely relate to, largely mechanistically responsible for, traditional (a term also used by Virchow). First, associated all stasis. Secondly, blocking red cell transport, provide simple mechanistic explanation for physical slowing down (‘stasis’) flow. Thirdly, herbal formulae proposed treat these especially Fu Zhu its derivatives, anticoagulatory anti-inflammatory, consistent they actually helping levels microclots, plausibly part catalysis polymerization fibrinogen form. rehearse some actions constituent herbs specific bioactive molecules contain. Consequently, such formulations (and their components), which little science medicine, would seem offer opportunity novel, safe, useful treatments chronic display including Myalgic Encephalopathy/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, long COVID, even ischemic stroke.

Thlaspi arvense suppresses gut microbiota related TNF inflammatory pathway to alleviates ulcerative colitis

Frontiers in Immunology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16

Published: April 22, 2025

Thlaspi arvense (TA), commonly known as "Ximi" or "Subaijiang," is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb used to prevent and treat ulcerative colitis (UC). However, the precise mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects remain unclear, necessitating further investigation identify potential pharmaceutical applications for UC management. This study aims elucidate efficacy of TA active constituents in treatment. first evaluated varying doses on 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC. Gut microbiota alterations mice were analyzed via 16S rRNA sequencing, with correlation analyses reveal relationship between gut cytokines. Then, network pharmacology was utilized identified targets Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes Genomes (KEGG) enrichment employed explore TA's mechanisms. Molecular docking dynamics simulations validated interactions compounds UC-related targets. Finally, TNF pathway modulation by component, isovitexin, verified vitro vivo. alleviated DSS-induced weight loss dose-dependent manner, reduced disease activity indices, preserved intestinal mucosal barrier integrity. Subsequently, fluorescence situ hybridization (FISH) revealed suppressed microbial translocation tissues. To characterize inflammatory responses, ELISA demonstrated that modulated levels key cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10) oxidative stress markers (SOD, MDA), indicating systemic anti-inflammatory effects. Building these findings, sequencing showed regulated alpha/beta diversity inhibited infectious disease-related pathways. Notably, heatmaps highlighted strong association TNF-α Escherichia-Shigella abundance, high-dose significantly reducing this pathogenic bacterial genus. systematically molecular mechanisms, 220 Consistent experimental data, PPI KEGG implicated TNF-α, AKT targets, primarily through signaling modulation. validate predictions, confirmed stable while specifically emphasized isovitexin's high affinity TNF-α. experiments vivo inhibition TNF-α-mediated NF-κB activation, studies isovitexin directly mitigated TNF-α-induced epithelial damage. Furthermore, potent activation tissues, constituent effectively cell damage, collectively highlighting their complementary Collectively, (TA) ameliorates synergistic involving modulation, suppression, preservation. By remodeling communities reduce colonization translocation. concurrently inhibits TNF-α/NF-κB-driven inflammation, regulation. attenuates demonstrating multi-scale efficacy. These findings establish multi-target spanning host-microbe intracellular signaling, providing rationale standardizing TA-based formulations advancing precision agent bowel diseases.
