    Breast cancer is a common clinical gynecological tumor. According to the 2022 global cancer data statistics, breast cancer ranks second in terms of incidence among newly diagnosed cancer cases worldwide. Modern medicine often adopts surgical operation, chemotherapy, and other methods, which have certain efficacy but also many problems such as high drug resistance rates and significant adverse reactions. Chinese patent medicines exhibit extensive anticancer effects. The study found that Shenyi Capsule, Pingxiao Capsule, and Zhenqi Fuzheng Granules were widely used in the treatment of breast cancer, exerting therapeutic effects on breast cancer by inhibiting cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, suppressing angiogenesis, reversing cellular drug resistance, and inhibiting precancerous lesions. Meanwhile, the oral administration of Chinese patent medicines in combination with other traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compounds, TCM decoctions, or modern medical treatments can improve patients' quality of life and reduce adverse reactions. Currently, there are numerous studies on the treatment of breast cancer with Chinese patent medicines, but a systematic summary is lacking. Therefore, this study conducted a systematic review of the mechanisms of action and clinical applications of Chinese patent medicines as adjuvant therapy for breast cancer, aiming to provide guidance for clinical medication.

    Renal injury is one of the common adverse reactions in the clinical application of chemotherapy drugs, which is the main reason why the chemotherapy can not be carried out in the whole cycle. The pathological mechanism of chemotherapy-induced renal injury is very complicated, mainly involving oxidative stress, inflammatory response, apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and regulation of transporters, causing pathological damage to renal tubules or glomeruli. At present, there is no specific pharmacological intervention for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced renal injury. As a treasure of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has the advantages of overall regulation, multi-targeting, small adverse reactions and no obvious drug dependence in the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced renal injury. In recent years, there have been more and more studies on the intervention of chemotherapy-induced renal injury by multi-component and multi-directional intervention of active components, extracts and compounds of traditional Chinese medicine, and some progress has been made. A large number of studies have shown that the potential mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in preventing and treating renal injury induced by chemotherapy include inhibiting oxidative stress, reducing inflammatory response and inhibiting apoptosis. Although there are many studies on the mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced renal injury, there is still a lack of systematic review. Based on this, this paper summarizes the mechanism of renal injury induced by chemotherapy and the intervention of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to provide theoretical support for its clinical treatment and new drug innovation.

    Vaccines are among the most effective measures for preventing infectious diseases and play a crucial role in controlling the spread of these diseases. Adjuvants, serving as auxiliary components in vaccines, are indispensable in the vaccine development process. Ideal adjuvants not only enhance the immune response, enabling the body to achieve optimal protective immunity but also play important roles in reducing the dosage of immunogens and lowering vaccine production costs. To meet the demands of novel vaccines, many new types of adjuvants have been developed. However, there is still a lack of adjuvants that are safe, effective, easy to prepare, highly pure, and suitable for a variety of vaccines in clinical settings. This article categorizes adjuvants and summarizes their mechanisms of action and characteristics, focusing on traditional aluminum salt adjuvants and more modern lipid-based and nucleic acid-based adjuvants. The summary is based on a computer search of databases including PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), VIP Database, and Wanfang Database, using English search keywords such as Adjuvants, Vaccine, Vaccine Adjuvant, aluminum salts, MF59, AS03, Toll-like receptor agonist, etc., and corresponding Chinese search terms. The aim is to provide references for the development and application of adjuvants.

    Heart failure (HF) has become a major global medical burden. Despite the existence of several drugs for the treatment of HF, the prognosis is still not optimistic, which motivates us to seek new treatments for this disease. Vericiguat, a novel soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator, has been approved for use in patients with heart failure. Cardiac remodeling is the important pathophysiological basis of cardiovascular disease occurrence and development, and closely related to the prognosis of patients. Accumulating evidence suggests that vericiguat inhibits cardiac remodeling, but the molecular mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanism of action of vericiguat will be important for future studies of this drug as a potential therapy for slowing the severity of heart failure. This article reviews the mechanism and research status of the inhibitory effect of Vericiguat on cardiac remodeling.

    Cardiovascular disease (CVD), as one of the diseases with the highest morbidity and mortality rates globally, has always been a focus of medical research. In recent years, with a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of CVD, novel metabolic drugs have demonstrated great potential in its treatment. These novel drugs regulate multiple aspects of cardiovascular metabolism, including reducing blood glucose and lipid levels, inhibiting inflammatory responses, and protecting vascular endothelial cells, thereby providing new strategies for the prevention and treatment of CVD. In terms of lowering blood glucose levels, SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors, and Metformin, as clinically commonly used drugs, have been proven to be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of CVD, regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes. For lipid regulation, PCSK9 inhibitors and Ezetimibe, as newly developed lipid-lowering drugs, not only reduce serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels but also directly protect the cardiovascular system from damage. The development and application of these drugs have not only improved the treatment outcomes of CVD but also provided patients with more therapeutic options.

    WANG Long, WANG Yuchen, GUO Yilin, WU Jinhui
    Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics    2025, 30 (3): 297-312.   DOI: 10.12092/j.issn.1009-2501.2025.03.002
    Abstract419)      PDF (1338KB)(2445)       Save
    The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment significantly limits the efficacy of immunotherapy. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, often exhibit an immunosuppressive M2 phenotype, contributing to this immunosuppressive landscape. Modulating TAMs to adopt anti-tumor phenotypes can enhance immunotherapy outcomes and inhibit tumor progression.In recent years, tumor immunotherapy leveraging engineered bacteria has garnered considerable attention. Bacteria possess the ability to target tumors, preferentially colonizing tumor regions, and contain abundant pathogen-associated molecular patterns that effectively activate TAMs within the immunosuppressive tumor environment. This activation enhances the tumoricidal and clearance capabilities of TAMs. With the rapid advancements in synthetic biology, engineered bacteria have emerged as a potent therapeutic modality for immunotherapy, leading to increased focus on the regulation of TAMs by engineered bacteria.This paper first outlines clinical studies on targeted TAMs therapy and engineered bacteria-based tumor therapy. It then reviews recent advancements in bacterial regulation of TAMs, detailing how engineered bacteria enhance TAM recruitment, improve TAM phagocytosis, and remodel TAM phenotypes. Modulating TAMs with engineered bacteria presents a promising therapeutic strategy and introduces a novel approach in tumor immunotherapy.

    As phagocytic innate immune cells, macrophages interact with various tissue types and play an important role in immune defense, inflammatory response and tissue remodeling. Macrophages participate in the occurrence and development of disease by polarizing into classically activated M1 type and substitutively activated M2 type, or more complex phenotypes, when the tissue microenvironment changes. This paper focused on the application of macrophage polarization in cardiovascular diseases, and introduces macrophage origin and activation to propose the relationship between macrophage polarization and cardiovascular diseases. Then, the strategies for targeted macrophage therapy were proposed to provide an important theoretical basis for improving the inflammatory state of cardiovascular diseases.

    Malignant tumors of digestive system are highly prevalent malignant tumors that seriously threaten human health around the world. At present, the curative efficacy and prognosis of traditional treatment methods cannot reach the expectation, so it is urgent to find new targets for cancer treatment and realize targeted therapy for tumors. Abnormal energy metabolism in tumor  cells is regarded as a hallmark of cancer, and malignant tumor cells absorb glucose through aerobic glycolysis pathway, and obtain a small amount of energy and produce lactate under the catalysis of a series of enzymes. Lactate dehydrogenase A (Lactate dehydrogenase A, LDHA), as a key enzyme in the aerobic glycolysis pathway of tumor cells, plays an important role in the metabolic changes of tumor cells. Studies have demonstrated that LDHA has high expression characteristics in a variety of tumor cells,and its high expression in clinic is often related to the poor prognosis and high metastasis rate of tumors, which is expected to be a new target for cancer therapy. This article reviews the role of LDHA in the development of digestive system tu- mors and the research progress of related drugs.

    AIM: To analyze the expression of secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in SMARCA4-deficient non-small cell lung cancer, and to provide a scientific basis for the study of the follow-up treatment of this rare pathological type of lung cancer. METHODS: The clinical and pathological characteristics of 12 patients with this disease were analyzed retrospectively, and the patients were divided into two groups of adenocarcinomas and poorly differentiated carcinomas according to their morphological characteristics, and the relationship between the expression of SPP1 and PD-L1 was analyzed in the two groups. RESULTS: SPP1 expression was detected in all patients and Its expression level was significantly higher in the poorly differentiated carcinoma group compared with the adenocarcinoma group (P=0.015); PD-L1 expression was found in 6/7 patients (5 cases were not measured), compared with the adenocarcinoma group,PD-L1 was also highly expressed in the poorly differentiated carcinoma group (P=0.048) and the PD-L1 difference between the two groups suggested that the results were similar to those of SPP1. CONCLUSION: SMARCA4-deficient non-small cell lung cancer has high positive expression of SPP1 and PD-L1. It was more pronounced in patients with poorly differentiated carcinoma. There may be a positive correlation between SPP1 and PD-L1 expression in SMARCA4-deficient non-small cell lung cancer and the mechanism of the correlation needs to be further verified in subsequent studies.

    AIM: To investigate the preventive and therapeutic effects of Hawthorn flavone on hy-perlipidemia and atherosclerosis rats. METHODS: The atherosclerosis model was established by high fat diet plus vitamin D2. The blood lipid levels, heart index, atherosclerosis index (AI1, AI2) and cor-onary heart index were measured in each group. The histopathological changes of aorta were ob-served by oil red O staining, HE staining and Mas-son staining. ELISA experiments were used to de-tect IL-6, ICAM-1, MCP-1 and VCAM-1 protein level. RESULTS: Compared with normal group, total cho-lesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipopro-tein (LDL-C), heart index, atherosclerosis index (AI1, AI2) and coronary index in atherosclerosis model group were significantly increased (P<0.01), while high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was significantly decreased (P<0.01). The pathological score of aorta and the degree of fibrosis were sig-nificantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group, TC, TG, LDL-C, heart index, atherosclerosis index (AI1, AI2) and coronary heart index were significantly decreased (P<0.01), and high-density lipo-protein cholesterol (HDL-C) was significantly in-creased (P<0.01) in medium, high dose hawthorn flavonoids and atorvastatin groups. The pathological score of aorta significantly decreased and the degree of fibrosis significantly improved (P<0.01). The variation trend of blood lipid levels in hyperlip-idemia rats is basically consistent with atheroscle-rotic rats. Meanwhile, compared with model group, the medium, high dose hawthorn flavonoids and atorvastatin groups could significantly inhibit the expression levels of IL-6, MCP-1, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 adhesion molecules (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The hawthorn flavone can inhibit the forma-tion of aortic endothelial atherosclerotic plaque, re-duce the degree of fibrosis and inflammation of atherosclerotic plaque in rats, and achieve the pur-pose of anti-atherosclerosis. Meanwhile, the haw-thorn flavone has the effect of regulating blood lip-id.

    Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly aggressive and heterogeneous biliary malignancy characterized by challenges in early diagnosis, limited efficacy of traditional chemotherapy, and poor prognosis. Due to its significant heterogeneity at the genomic, epigenetic, and molecular levels, molecular testing and targeted therapy have become increasingly important in CCA management, forming an integral part of the era of precision oncology. The development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has advanced research into the molecular subtypes and therapeutic targets of CCA, including FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements, IDH1 mutations, and BRAF mutations. Recently, two phase III clinical trials, TOPAZ-1 and KEYNOTE-966, have established the pivotal role of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy in advanced CCA. While precision diagnosis and treatment in CCA have shown promising progress, this field remains in its exploratory phase and faces numerous challenges. This review summarizes recent advancements in the diagnosis, molecular targeted therapy, immunotherapy, resistance mechanisms, and the development of novel strategies for CCA.

    Cholestatic liver disease is a common disease that causes bile flow dysfunction due to various reasons. The etiology of cholestatic liver disease is complexed, and therapeutic drugs are extremely limited. To date, ursodeoxycholic acid is the only FDA-approved drug for treating primary biliary cirrhosis, whereas its efficacy is limited to early stage of the disease, therefore novel drugs are urgently needed. Nuclear receptors become therapeutic hotspot target in cholestasis since these receptors play a key role in regulating bile acid homeostasis. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) is an important nuclear receptor involved in regulating multiple mechanisms of cholestasis in vivo. It can improve intrahepatic cholestasis by inhibiting bile acid synthesis, reducing bile acid toxicity, affecting the expression of bile acid metabolic enzymes and transporters, and can play an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation and anti-fibrosis role. A number of studies have shown that PPAR agonists represented by fibrates alone or in combination can improve liver function indexes, inflammatory factors and fibrosis markers in patients with cholestasis. This review analyzes and summarizes the lastest advances in the molecular mechanism of PPAR as a therapeutic target for cholestasis and drug treatment in development or have been used in clinical.

    Breast cancers that are positive for hormone receptor but negative for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (abbreviated as HR+/HER2-) account for approximately 60% of total cases. Targeting estrogen signaling is one of the most important therapeutic strategies for HR+/HER2- breast cancer. However, the management of endocrine-resistant HR+/HER2- breast cancer remains a difficult issue in clinical practice. Previous multi-omic analysis and translational research have identified the mechanisms underlying endocrine-resistance including genomic alteration and abnormal epigenetic modification. To overcome endocrine-resistance, we have established a comprehensive and coherent therapeutic strategy.  In addition, several novel therapies have shown promising efficacy in previous clinical trials and will emerge as alternative options for targeting endocrine-resistant HR+/HER2- breast cancer. In this review, we will introduce the mechanisms of endocrine-resistance, explain the current therapeutic strategy for endocrine-resistant HR+/HER2- breast cancer and discuss the possible targeted therapies in the future.

    AIM: To study the mechanism of Siheifang (SHF) in improving pigment deficiency disease (PD) by combining network pharmacology and metabolomics. METHODS: Using zebrafish embryos with pigment deficiency disease induced by 1-phenyl-2-thiourea (PTU) as an animal model, the effects of SHF extract (0.01, 0.02, 0.04 mg/mL) on the morphology, melanin area, tyrosinase activity, and melanin content of zebrafish embryos were analyzed. Ultra high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) was used to screen differential metabolites and obtain relevant metabolic pathways in the SHF treatment of melanin deficient zebrafish embryos model. Network pharmacology was used to obtain key targets for SHF treatment of PD and conduct KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. Import The identified differential metabolites and SHF PD intersection targets were imported into the Metscape plugin, to establish a "metabolite reaction enzyme gene" network, and search for key metabolites, targets, and metabolic pathways. RESULTS: SHF treatment could increase the formation of zebrafish melanin, activate tyrosinase activity, and increase melanin content. Metabolomics analysis obtained 54 differential metabolites, and metabolic pathway analysis was conducted on these metabolites, involving the biosynthesis of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, glycerol phospholipid metabolism, tyrosine metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism, and aminoacyl tRNA biosynthesis pathways. Network pharmacology had obtained 55 cross targets of components and diseases. KEGG involved pancreatic cancer, TNF, cancer and other signal pathways. The joint analysis of metabolomics and network pharmacology identified four key targets: COMT, CYP1B1, TYR, and ALDH2; three key metabolites: L-tyrosine, homovanllate, L-lysine; three important metabolic pathways: tyrosine metabolism, valine/leucine/isoleucine degradation, and lysine metabolism. CONCLUSION: SHF has a good improvement effect on PD, and combined with metabolomics and network pharmacology, SHF may enhance its influence on the tyrosine metabolism pathway by regulating the metabolite L-tyrosine, thereby promoting the formation of melanin.

    AIM: To explore the mechanism of Ginkgo biloba in the treatment of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head based on net-work pharmacology. METHODS: The active ingredients and targets of Ginkgo biloba were predicted by the TCMSP, ADME, and PharmMapper databases. The disease targets related to steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head were searched by the GeneCards and OMIM databases. Cytoscape 3.6.1 was used to construct a protein-protein inter-action network. The core target analysis, modular analysis, GO enrichment analysis, and KEGG pathway analysis of the targets of Ginkgo biloba in the intervention of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head were performed by the STRING database. RESULTS: In this study, a total of 16 active ingredients of Ginkgo biloba and 547 targets were screened, of which 133 targets were related to steroid-induced femoral head necrosis. By PPI network topology analysis, TP53, AKT1, IL6, VEGFA, MAPK1, JUN, MAPK8, EGFR, EGF, and MYC were identified as the core targets. GO modularization analysis showed that these core targets were mainly related to apoptosis and angiogenesis. GO enrichment analysis was used to analyze the biological processes, cellular localization, and molecular functions of the core targets. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the targets were mainly involved in molecular signaling pathways, among which the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was the most relevant. CONCLUSION: Ginkgo biloba can inhibit steroid-induced os-teonecrosis of the femoral head through multiple components, targets, and pathways, which pro-vides the theoretical basis and reference for subse-quent cell and animal experiments.

    AIM: To explore the molecular mechanism of Fuyangjing gel in the treatment of chronic eczema rats model based on janus protein kinase 1 (JAK1)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) signaling pathway. METHODS: Thirty-six SPF Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, Qingpeng ointment group, Fuyangjing gel low, medium and high dose groups. Except the normal group, the other groups of rats were treated with 2,4-dinitrochlorophenone solution to induce chronic eczema-like lesions on the back. After 3 weeks of modeling, Qingpeng ointment group and Fuyangjing gel low, medium and high dose groups were respectively treated with corresponding drugs. The model group was smeared with blank gel matrix once a day for 2 weeks, while the normal group was not treated. The severity and pathological changes of back lesions in chronic eczema rats were observed. The expression of phosphorylated protein tyrosine kinase 1 (p-JAK1) and phosphorylated signal transduction and transcriptional activator 5 (p-STAT5) in rat dorsal skin was detected by Western blot. Detection of thymic stromallymphopietin (TSLP), JAK1, STAT5, interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IL-17 mRNA expression levels in rat back skin by qRT-PCR; The levels of IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13 and IL-17 in serum of rats were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS: Compared with normal group, the serum levels of IL-4, IL-6, IL-13 and IL-17 in model group were significantly increased, while IL-10 levels were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The expression levels of p-JAK1, p-STAT5 protein and TSLP, JAK1, STAT5 and IL-17 mRNA in back lesions were significantly increased, while IL-10 mRNA levels were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with model group, serum levels of IL-4, IL-6, IL-13 and IL-17 in Qingpeng ointment group and Fuyangjing gel low, medium and high dose groups were significantly decreased, while IL-10 levels were significantly increased (P<0.05). The expression levels of p-JAK1, p-STAT5 protein and TSLP, JAK1, STAT5 and IL-17 mRNA in back lesions were significantly decreased, while the mRNA levels of IL-10 were significantly increased (P<0.05). The serum levels of IL-4, IL-6, IL-13 and IL-17 in Qingpeng ointment group were decreased, while IL-10 levels were increased (P<0.05). The expression levels of p-JAK1, p-STAT5 protein and TSLP, JAK1, STAT5 and IL-17 mRNA in back lesions were decreased, while the mRNA levels of IL-10 were increased (P<0.05). Compared with Qingpeng ointment group, there were no significant differences in serum levels of IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13 and IL-17 in Fuyangjing gel high-dose group (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the expression levels of p-JAK1, p-STAT5 protein and TSLP, JAK1, STAT5, IL-10 and IL-17 mRNA in back lesions (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Fuyangjing gel may play a role in the treatment of chronic eczema by regulating the expression of JAK1/STAT5 signaling pathway related inflammatory factors, proteins and genes.

    AIM: To investigate autophagic status in ischemic stroke with Liver Yang Hyperactivity and the mechanism of Tianma Gouteng Decoction (TMGTD). METHODS: SD rats were divided into sham, model, TMGTD high/medium/low-dose (20.52/10.26/5.13 g·kg-1·d-1), and Nimodipine (30 mg·kg-1·d-1) groups. A Liver Yang Hyperactivity and cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model was established using Fuzi Decoction (2 g·kg-1·d-1) and thread-occlusion. After 21 days of Fuzi decoction pretreatment, rats received daily drug administration for 12 days. Syndrome indicators (irritability, 24-hour water intake, 24-hour urine volume, facial temperature) were recorded, plasma NE, E, cAMP, and cGMP were measured by ELISA, neurological function was assessed using Zea Longa and mNSS methods, brain histopathology was evaluated by HE staining, protein expression of soluble/insoluble p62 and LC3B was detected by Western blot, autophagy-related genes were analyzed by PCR array, additionally, mRNA and protein levels of CXCR4 and CXCL12 were measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot. RESULTS: Compared to the sham group, the model group showed increased irritability, 24-hours water intake, 24-hours urine volume, facial temperature, and level of NE, E, cGMP (P<0.01), neurological scores (P<0.01), LC3B-II, insoluble p62, CXCR4, CXCL12 expression (P<0.01), but decreased soluble p62 (P<0.01). TMGTD groups exhibited reduced irritability, water intake, urine volume, facial temperature, NE, E, cGMP (P<0.05, P<0.01), neurological scores (P<0.05, P<0.01), p62 expression (P<0.01), alongside increased LC3B-II (P<0.01) and improved cortical pathology. TMGD also reversed dysregulated autophagy-apoptosis genes (CXCR4, Lamp1, Tgfb1, APP, Rab24) and reduced CXCR4, CXCL12 expression (P<0.01). CONCLUSION:In the Liver Yang Hyperactivity and cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model, autophagy genes were activated but flux was impaired, and Tianma Gouteng Decoction may protect by restoring autophagic flux and inhibiting the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis.

    As a chronic, immune-mediated in-flammatory disease, plaque psoriasis has a great burden of disease and influences on patient's physi-cal and mental health. In the past decade, plaque psoriasis treatment with biological agents achieved breakthrough development, while oral drugs with promising efficacy and safety are yet to be met. By cell signal transduction, the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription pathway plays an important role in numerous immune-relat-ed diseases. Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), a member of the JAK family, can impact on plaque psoriasis by regulating signaling and functional responses down-stream of IL-12, IL-23, IFN. Deucravacitinib, a highly selective TYK2 inhibitor, has finished its phase 3 clinical trials and shown its efficacy and safety in treatment of plaque psoriasis. Several kinds of TYK2 inhibitors are under research and develop-ment at the moment. In this review, we demon-strate roles of JAK-STAT pathway and TYK2 in plaque psoriasis as well as updates on ongoing and recently completed trials of TYK2 inhibitors.
