Ginsenoside Rd attenuates myocardial ischemia injury through improving mitochondrial biogenesis via WNT5A/Ca < sup > 2+ < /sup > pathways
Eur J Pharmacol. 2023 Sep 1;957:176044. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2023.176044. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGinsenoside Rd, one of the main active components in ginseng, exerts various biological activities. However, its effectiveness on myocardial ischemia injury and its potential mechanism need further clarification. The model of isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial ischemia injury (MI) mice and cobalt chloride (CoCl2)-induced cardiomyocytes injury were performed. Ginsenoside Rd significantly alleviated MI injury, as evidenced by ameliorated cardiac pathological features and improved cardiac function. Simultaneously, gins...

Doxorubicin resistance in breast cancer is mediated via the activation of FABP5/PPAR γ and CaMKII signaling pathway
Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy among women. Doxorubicin (Dox) resistance was one of the major obstacles to improving the clinical outcome of breast cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the FABP signaling pathway and Dox resistance in breast cancer. The resistance property of MCF-7/ADR cells was evaluated employing CCK-8, Western blot (WB), and confocal microscopy techniques. The glycolipid metabolic properties of MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells were identified using transmission electron microscopy, PAS, and Oil Red O staining. FABP5 and CaMKII expression levels w...

RUNX2 Mediates Renal Cell Carcinoma Invasion through Calpain2
In this study, RUNX2-negative A498 cells and strongly positive ACHN cells were selected as the study subjects. An invasion chamber assay was used to detect the invasive ability of the cells. The expression of each protein was detected by Western blotting or immunofluorescence assays. The invasive ability of A498 cells was enhanced after the expression of RUNX2 protein was upregulated, whereas ACHN cells decreased after the expression of RUNX2 protein was silenced. The expression of calcium-activated neutral protease 2 (Calpain2) and fibronectin (FN) proteins was upregulated in A498 cells overexpressing RUNX2 protein, where...

Chronic Administration of COVID-19 Drugs Fluvoxamine and Lopinavir Shortens Action Potential Duration by Inhibiting the Human Ether ‐à‐go‐go–Related Gene and Cav1.2
Conclusion: Chronic incubation with FLV and LPV produced more severe channel-blocking effects and contributed to altered channel gating and shortened action potential duration by inhibiting hERG and Cav1.2.

Ginsenoside Rh1 inhibits tumor growth in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells via mitochondrial ROS and ER stress-mediated signaling pathway
Arch Pharm Res. 2022 Mar 24. doi: 10.1007/s12272-022-01377-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGinsenoside-Rh1 (Rh1) is a ginseng-derived compound that has been reported to exert anticancer effects by regulating cell cycle arrest and apoptosis according to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. However, the effects of Rh1 on mitochondrial dysfunction are involved in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell apoptosis, and the related molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Rh1 treatment induced cell toxicity less than 50% at 50 μM. In addition, Rh1 induced apoptosis in TNBC cells through cleaved caspase-3 activation and G1/S...

MCU-dependent mitochondrial calcium uptake-induced mitophagy contributes to apelin-13-stimulated VSMCs proliferation
Vascul Pharmacol. 2022 Mar 16:106979. doi: 10.1016/j.vph.2022.106979. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTApelin is an endogenous ligand of the G protein-coupled receptor APJ. Both apelin and APJ receptors, which are expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), play important roles in the cardiovascular system. Our previous studies researches indicated that mitophagy mediated apelin-13-induced VSMCs proliferation. However, little is known about how apelin-13 regulates mitophagy to participate in VSMC proliferation. The results of the present study demonstrated that mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) uptake-dependent mit...

Bone-targeted nanoplatform enables efficient modulation of bone tumor microenvironment for prostate cancer bone metastasis treatment
Drug Deliv. 2022 Dec;29(1):889-905. doi: 10.1080/10717544.2022.2050845.ABSTRACTAs there is currently no effective therapy for patients with prostate cancer (PCa) bone metastasis, it was stringent to explore the relevant treatment strategies. Actually, the interaction between cancer cells and bone microenvironment plays important role in prostate cancer bone metastasis, especially the Sonic hedgehog protein (SHH) signaling in the bone microenvironment. The SHH promotes osteoblast maturation and osteoblast then secretes RANKL to induce osteoclastogenesis. Herein, this study develops bone-targeting calcium phosphate lipid hyb...
