Abstract The majority of the immune cell population in tumor microenvironment (TME) consists tumor-associated macrophages (TAM), which are main players coordinating inflammation. TAM has a high plasticity and is divided into two phenotypes, pro-inflammatory M1 type anti-inflammatory M2 type, with tumor-suppressive tumor-promoting functions, respectively. Considering beneficial effects for anti-tumor macrophages, conversion to feasible positive treatment. This study sought evaluate whether glycopeptide derived from simulated digested Codonopsis pilosula extracts could regulate polarization M2-like toward phenotype potential regulatory mechanisms. results showed that after dCP1 treatment, mRNA relative expression levels some marker genes TME were reduced, inflammatory factor increased. Analysis RNA-Seq intervention gene sets such as glycolysis, associated macrophage phenotype, significantly up-regulated, whereas those IL-6-JAK-STAT3 pathway, down-regulated. Moreover, PCA analysis Pearson's correlation also indicated polarized at transcriptional level treatment dCP1. Lipid metabolomics was used further explore efficacy regulating phenotype. It found lipid metabolite profiles dCP1-treated metabolism compared blank TAM. key differential metabolites revealed interconversion between phosphatidylcholine (PC) diacylglycerol (DG) may be central reaction above suggest TME.

Muscular dystrophies (MDs) are an array of inherited disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. This review explores the genetic foundation, pathophysiological mechanisms, current treatments, therapeutic potential medicinal plants for MDs. Although gene therapy, exon-skipping, stem cell therapies substantial advancements, they encounter obstacles regarding immune responses, long-term efficacy, delivery efficiency. A promising complementary approach to conventional MD is presented natural compounds from plants. Recent studies historical use underscore multi-targeted effects phytochemicals, such as resveratrol, withaferin A, ginsenosides, curcumin, epigallocatechin gallate, on regeneration, oxidative stress, inflammation. These have demonstrated in pre-clinical enhance function, reduce inflammation, stress. Despite their potential, utilization treatment impeded regulatory hurdles, side effects, variability bioactive compound concentration, standardization issues. To address these challenges, it necessary implement rigorous clinical trials, protocols, comprehensive quality control measures. Future research should focus elucidating molecular mechanisms plant-derived compounds, improving biotechnological production techniques, integrating treatments into personalized, plans. Advances synthetic biology, genomics, metabolomics, nanoformulations improve efficacy safety phytomedicine MD. Implementing evidence-based integrative approaches can holistic care, patient outcomes, facilitate acceptance plant-based practice.
