基于网络药理学和分子对接技术分析筒鞘蛇菰多糖治疗肝损伤的作用机制及体内实验研究＊

目的 基于网络药理学探讨并分析筒鞘蛇菰（Balanophora involucrata Hook. f.，BIH）治疗肝损伤的作用及分子机制，并通过大鼠体内实验验证相关预测靶点及筒鞘蛇菰提取物-蛇菰多糖（Polysaccharides of Balanophora involucrata Hook. f.，BPS）对实验性肝损伤的保护作用。方法 化学专业数据库、TCMID和TCMSP平台检索筒鞘蛇菰组成的化合物及可能靶点，以肝损伤为关键词检索GeneCards和网站，获得相关靶点，绘制Venn图，选交集靶点，将“化合物-靶点和疾病-靶点”关系导入Cytoscape V3.7.2软件，获得化合物-靶点-疾病的三重网络，对化合物及相关靶点蛋白行分子对接，并用交集靶点绘制蛋白互作网络图及进行GO生物功能和KEGG信号途径富集分析。结果 筒鞘蛇菰主要成分有11个化合物，其中与肝损伤有37个交集靶点，高度关联靶点包括NOS3、ESR1、TNF、MAOA、PTGS2、IL10等，GO和KEGG富集分析发现筒鞘蛇菰治疗肝损伤的分子机制，可能与调节肾上腺素能信号通路、cGMP-PKG信号及神经活性配体-受体交互通路等有关，而且ADRA1B、ADRA2A、ADRA2C、ADRB1/2等基因高度富集于这些通路中。动物体内实验发现BPS灌胃处理可减轻肝组织损伤、调控血清炎症因子肿瘤坏死因子α（Tumor necrosis factor， TNF-α）和白细胞介素10（IL-10）水平、提高抗氧化酶超氧化物歧化酶（superoxide dismutase，SOD）活性，并增强肝组织内氧化应激相关蛋白核因子E2相关因子2（NF-E2-related factor 2，NRF2）和醌NADH脱氢酶1（NQO1）的表达，从而抑制大鼠体内氧化应激损伤、减轻炎症反应和细胞凋亡，达到保护实验性肝损伤的作用。结论 本研究初步确定筒鞘蛇菰治疗肝损伤的有效成分、“化合物-蛋白-靶点”关联网络及发挥作用的分子机制，并通过动物体内实验证实蛇菰多糖保护肝损伤的机制与上调NRF2/NQO1通路来减轻氧化应激反应性损伤、减轻肝细胞凋亡有关。     

Zhang Weishen: A Pioneer in the Development and Industrial Production of Penicillin in New China

The research and development of penicillin started with difficulty before 1949 and achieved certain results. In 1951, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Weishen, as the only Chinese scientist who had been trained and worked in a penicillin research and development center in the United States for many years, overcame many difficulties and returned to China. In 1953, with the efforts of Zhang Weishen and his colleagues, China realized the industrialized production of penicillin, alleviating the urgent needs of the masses. Antibiotics has also become the first discipline to achieve major scientific and technological achievements after the founding of the New China. In the mid-1950s, the technical breakthrough in the localization of lactose substitutes marked the localization of the raw materials of the penicillin-producing culture medium, which paved the way for the industrialized production of penicillin with Chinese characteristics. Antibiotics have become one of the most widely used and affordable drugs for hundreds of millions of patients in China, and China has since ended the humiliating history of the “Sick Man of East Asia".     

Hepatotoxicity of cantharidin is associated with the altered bile acid metabolism

Cantharidin (CTD) is an effective antitumor agent. However, it exhibits significant hepatotoxicity, the mechanism of which remains unclear. In this study, biochemical and histopathological analyses complemented with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS)-based targeted metabolomic analysis of bile acids (BAs) were employed to investigate CTD-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Sixteen male and female Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups: control and CTD (1.0 mg/kg) groups. Serum and liver samples were collected after 28 days of intervention. Biochemical, histopathological, and BA metabolomic analyses were performed for all samples. Further, the key biomarkers of CTD-induced hepatotoxicity were identified via multivariate and metabolic pathway analyses. In addition, metabolite–gene–enzyme network and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses were used to identify the signaling pathways related to CTD-induced hepatotoxicity. The results revealed significantly increased levels of biochemical indices (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and total bile acid). Histopathological analysis revealed that the hepatocytes were damaged. Further, 20 endogenous BAs were quantitated via UHPLC-MS/MS, and multivariate and metabolic pathway analyses of BAs revealed that hyocholic acid, cholic acid, and chenodeoxycholic acid were the key biomarkers of CTD-induced hepatotoxicity. Meanwhile, primary and secondary BA biosynthesis and taurine and hypotaurine metabolism were found to be associated with the mechanism by which CTD induced hepatotoxicity in rats. This study provides useful insights for research on the mechanism of CTD-induced hepatotoxicity.
