BACKGROUNDAlthough chronic treatment with glucocorticoids, such as dexamethasone, is frequently associated with muscle atrophy, effective and safe therapeutics for treating muscle atrophy remain elusive. Jakyak-gamcho-tang (JGT), a decoction of Paeoniae Radix and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, has long been used to relieve muscle tension and control muscle cramp-related pain. However, the effects of JGT on glucocorticoid-induced muscle atrophy are yet to be comprehensively clarified.PURPOSEThe objective of the current study was to validate the protective effect of JGT in dexamethasone-induced muscle atrophy models and elucidate its underlying mechanism through integrated in silico - in vitro - in vivo studies.STUDY DESIGN AND METHODSDifferential gene expression was preliminarily analyzed using the RNA-seq data to determine the effects of JGT on C2C12 myotubes. The protective effects of JGT were further validated in dexamethasone-treated C2C12 myotubes by assessing cell viability, myotube integrity, and mitochondrial function or in C57BL/6 N male mice with dexamethasone-induced muscle atrophy by evaluating muscle mass and physical performance. Transcriptomic pathway analysis was also performed to elucidate the underlying mechanism.RESULTSBased on preliminary gene set enrichment analysis using the RNA-seq data, JGT regulated various pathways related to muscle differentiation and regeneration. Dexamethasone-treated C2C12 myotubes and muscle tissues of atrophic mice displayed substantial muscle protein degradation and muscle loss, respectively, which was efficiently alleviated by JGT treatment. Importantly, JGT-mediated protective effects were associated with observations such as preservation of mitochondrial function, upregulation of myogenic signaling pathways, including protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin/forkhead box O3, inhibition of ubiquitin-mediated muscle protein breakdown, and downregulation of inflammatory and apoptotic pathways induced by dexamethasone.CONCLUSIONTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to demonstrate that JGT could be a potential pharmaceutical candidate to prevent muscle atrophy induced by chronic glucocorticoid treatment, highlighting its known effects for relieving muscle spasms and pain. Moreover, transcriptomic pathway analysis can be employed as an efficient in silico tool to predict novel pharmacological candidates and elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of herbal medications comprising diverse biologically active ingredients.

Integrating Network Pharmacology and Experimental Validation to Elucidate the Mechanism of Jiegeng Decoction in Improving Allergic Asthma

Article

Author: Shi, Yuanyuan ; Luo, Zhiqiang ; Sun, Wen ; Ding, Qi ; Wu, Zhihai

Allergic asthma is a prevalent form of asthma that is characterized primarily by airway inflammation. Jiegeng decoction (JGT) is a traditional Chinese herbal formula known for its anti-inflammatory properties and has been used to treat respiratory diseases for centuries. This study aimed to investigate the biological effects and mechanisms of action of JGT in improving allergic asthma. An experimental allergic asthma mouse model was established using ovalbumin. The results showed that JGT significantly improved inflammation cell infiltration in the lung tissue of allergic asthmatic mice and the inflammatory environment of Th2 cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid while also reducing serum IgE levels. Subsequently, 38 components of JGT were identified through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Network pharmacology revealed that regulating inflammation and immune responses is the primary biological process by which JGT improves allergic asthma, with Th2 cell differentiation and the JAK-STAT signaling pathway being the key mechanisms of action. Finally, qPCR, flow cytometry, and Western blotting were used to validate that JGT inhibited Th2 cell differentiation by blocking the JAK1-STAT6 signaling pathway in CD4⁺ T cells, ultimately improving allergic asthma. This study provides a novel perspective on the therapeutic potential of JGT in the treatment of allergic asthma.

AbstractObjectivesJie Geng Tang (JGT) is an ancient traditional Chinese herbal decoction that exhibits various pharmacological activities, however, is poorly understood in the sensitivity of lung cancer to chemotherapy. Here, we explored the effect of JGT on sensitizing cisplatin (DDP)-resistant A549 cells (A549/DDP).MethodsCell viability was assessed using cell counting kit-8 assay. Flow cytometry was applied to detected cell apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Western blotting and qRT-PCR were performed to determine protein and mRNA levels.Key findingsThe results demonstrated that DDP co-treatment with JGT significantly increased the cytotoxicity of A549/DDP cells and exhibited efficacy in suppressing the migration and proliferation. The rate of apoptosis was increased by co-treatment with DDP and JGT, along with a higher rate of Bax/Bcl-2, and increased loss of MMP. Furthermore, the combination promoted ROS accumulation and increased γ-H2AX levels. Moreover, Nrf2 levels were suppressed in a dose- and time-dependent manner, Nrf2 stability was reduced following treatment with JGT. Notably, the combination induced inhibition of the Nrf2/ARE pathway at the mRNA and protein levels.ConclusionsCollectively, these results indicate that co-treatment with JGT and DDP can be considered a combinational approach to treating DDP resistance.
