To investigate the regulatory mechanism of Caesalpinia sappan L. ethyl acetate extract (CSEAE) on angiogenesis in atherosclerosis (AS) based miR-126/VEGF signalling pathway. Our study first screened for differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) associated with AS using Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) public database at National Center Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and R language software. Subsequently, our verified target-regulatory relationship between miR-126 vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) human umbilical vein cells (HUVECs) by "TargetScan" website dual-luciferase reporter assay. In cellular experiments, used cell proliferation assays flow cytometry to assess effects CSEAE-Mediated serum apoptosis HUVECs. animal HE staining, Oil Red O staining immunohistochemistry (IHC) detect plaque area/lumen area (%), lipid area/plaque (%) microvessel density (MVD) mouse aortas. addition, performed RT‒PCR, ELISA Western blot ex vivo experiments. A total 39 miRNAs were identified, among which expression level was significantly downregulated.

As a potent chemotherapeutic agent, doxorubicin (DOX) is widely used for the treatment of variety cancers However, its clinical utility limited by dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, and pathogenesis has traditionally been attributed to formation reactive oxygen species (ROS). Accordingly, prevention DOX-induced cardiotoxicity an indispensable goal optimize therapeutic regimens reduce morbidity. Acetylation emerging important epigenetic modification regulated histone deacetylases (HDACs) acetyltransferases (HATs). Despite extensive studies molecular basis biological functions acetylation, application acetylation as target in initial stage, further are required clarify complex network improve management cardiotoxicity. In this review, we summarize pivotal HDACs HATs oxidative stress, underlying mechanisms, contributions noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) exercise-mediated Furthermore, describe research progress related several SIRT activators HDAC inhibitors with potential value chemotherapy Collectively, comprehensive understanding specific roles recent developments doxorubicin-induced will provide improved outcomes cancer cardiovascular diseases.

As a common air pollutant, formaldehyde is widely present in nature, industrial production and consumer products. Endogenous mainly produced through the oxidative deamination of methylamine catalysed by semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) ubiquitous human body fluids, tissues cells. Vascular endothelial cells smooth muscle are rich this formaldehyde-producing enzyme easily damaged owing to consequent cytotoxicity. Consistent with this, increasing evidence suggests that cardiovascular system stages heart development also susceptible harmful effects formaldehyde. Exposure from different sources can induce disease such as arrhythmia, myocardial infarction (MI), failure (HF) atherosclerosis (AS). In particular, long-term exposure high concentrations pregnant women more likely affect embryonic cause malformations than low Specifically, ability mouse embryos effect clearance far lower rat embryos, readily allowing its accumulation.

Neurological diseases, including Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s (AD), Huntington’s (HD), stroke, cerebral infarction, ischemia-reperfusion injury, depression and, stress, have high incidence and morbidity often lead to disability. However, there is no particularly effective medication against them. Therefore, finding drugs with a suitable efficacy, low toxicity manageable effects improve the quality of life patients an urgent problem. Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) main active component ginseng has variety pharmacological effects. In this review, we focused on therapeutic potential for improving neurological diseases.

Atherosclerosis (AS) and the accompanied cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) were leading cause of death worldwide. Recently, association between CVDs, gut microbiota, metabolites had aroused increasing attention. In study, we headed our investigation into underlying mechanism ginsenoside Rc (GRc), an active ingredient ginsenosides used for treatment in apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE −/− ) mice with high-fat diet (HFD). Seven-week-old male ApoE randomly divided four groups: normal control (NC) group, HFD GRc group (40 mg/kg/d), atorvastatin (Ato) (10 mg/kg/d). Atherosclerotic injury was evaluated by aortic lesions, serum lipid levels, inflammatory factors. The composition microbiota fecal metabolite profile analyzed using 16S rRNA sequence untargeted metabolomics, respectively. results showed that significantly alleviated HFD-induced reduced levels total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6 IL-1β, increased high-density (HFD-C) level, as well alteration composition, function, profile. also reversed change Bacteroidetes Firmicutes at phylum Muribaculaceae, Lactobacillus , Ileibacterium Bifidobacterium Faecalibaculum Oscillibacter Blautia Eubacterium_coprostanoligenes_group genus 23 key involved taurine hypotaurine metabolism, arginine biosynthesis, ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, primary bile acid purine tricarboxylic (TCA) cycle, glucagon signaling pathways.

Conditions like diabetes mellitus (DM), cancer, infections, inflammation, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and gastrointestinal (GI) disorders continue to have a major global impact on mortality morbidity. Medicinal plants been used since ancient times in ethnomedicine (e.g., Ayurveda, Unani, Traditional Chinese Medicine, European Medicine) for the treatment of wide range disorders. Plants are rich source diverse phytoconstituents with antidiabetic, anticancer, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, antioxidant, antihyperlipidemic, cardioprotective, immunomodulatory, and/or anti-inflammatory activities. This review focuses 35 most commonly reported these disorders, particular emphasis their traditional uses, phytoconstituent contents, pharmacological properties, modes action. Active phytomolecules therapeutic potential include cucurbitane triterpenoids, diosgenin, limonoids (azadiradione gedunin), which exhibit antidiabetic triterpenoids specifically activating Glucose Transporter Type 4 (GLUT4) translocation.
