Exploring the protective mechanism of baicalin in treatment of atherosclerosis using endothelial cells deregulation model and network pharmacology
CONCLUSION: Collectively, we combined network pharmacology and endothelial injury models to investigate the anti-AS mechanism of baicalin. The results demonstrate that baicalin may exert anti-oxidative stress effects by targeting NOX4, providing new mechanisms and insights to baicalin for the treatment of AS.PMID:36192741 | DOI:10.1186/s12906-022-03738-3

Dihydrohomoplantagin and Homoplantaginin, Major Flavonoid Glycosides from Salvia plebeia R. Br. Inhibit oxLDL-Induced Endothelial Cell Injury and Restrict Atherosclerosis via Activating Nrf2 Anti-Oxidation Signal Pathway
In this study, we evaluated the effect of homoplantaginin and its derivative dihydrohomoplantagin on oxLDL-induced endothelial cell injury and atherosclerosis in apoE-/- mice. Our results showedthat both dihydrohomoplantagin and homoplantaginin inhibited apoptosis and the increased level of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in oxLDL-stimulated HUVECs and the plaque endothelium of apoE-/- mice. Additionally, both of them restricted atherosclerosis development of apoE-/- mice. Mechanistic studies showed that oxLDL-induced the increase in ROS production, phosphorylation of ERK and nuclear translocation of NF-κB in HUVECs was significantly i...

Xanthoangelol Prevents Ox-LDL–Induced Endothelial Cell Injury by Activating Nrf2/ARE Signaling
Conclusions: These data suggest that XAG cytoprotects against Ox-LDL–induced cell injury through activating Nrf2/ARE–mediated antioxidative stress. Cumulatively, these findings show that EX has the potential to prevent and treat AS.
