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.

This study aims to clearly define efficacy underlying mechanism P. its active components protecting against atherosclerosis. Experimental Approach The anti‐atherogenic total saponin extract (TGS) was evaluated on Ldlr −/− mice. Gut microbial structure analysed by 16S rRNA sequencing PCR. Bile acid profiles were revealed using targeted metabolomics with LC–MS/MS analysis. contribution gut microbiota atherosclerosis assessed co‐housing experiments. Key Results Ginsenoside Rb1, representing protopanaxadiol (PPD)‐type saponins, increased intestinal Lactobacillus abundance, resulting enhanced bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activity promote conjugated hydrolysis excretion, followed suppression enterohepatic farnesoid X receptor (FXR)–fibroblast growth factor 15 (FGF15) signal, thereby cholesterol 7α‐hydroxylase (CYP7A1) transcriptional expression facilitated metabolic elimination cholesterol. Synergistically, protopanaxatriol (PPT)‐type represented ginsenoside Rg1, protected atherogenesis‐triggered leak endotoxaemia. Rg1 directly induced mucin production nutritionally maintain Akkermansia muciniphila , which reciprocally inhibited permeation. Rb1/Rg1 combination, rather than a single compound, can largely mimic holistic TGS mice from atherogenesis.
