  • SP94 Peptide-Functionalized PEG-PLGA Nanoparticle Loading with Cryptotanshinone for Targeting Therapy of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
    AAPS PharmSciTech, 2020
    Co-Authors: Xiaoling Nie, Ying Wang, Yuan Liu, Wanwen Yuan, Sixi Huang, Di Ren, Yan Wang
    Abstract:

    To achieve improved drug delivery efficiency to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), biodegradable poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PEG-PLGA) nanoparticles (NP), surface-modified with SP94 peptide, were designed for the efficient delivery of Cryptotanshinone to the tumor for the treatment of HCC. Cryptotanshinone NP and SP94-NP were prepared by using nanoprecipitation. The physicochemical and pharmaceutical properties of the NP and SP94-NP were characterized, and the release kinetics suggested that both NP and SP94-NP provided continuous, slow release of Cryptotanshinone for 48 h. The in vitro cellular experiment demonstrated that SP94-NP significantly enhanced the cellular uptake of Cryptotanshinone and induced high cytotoxicity and cellular apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells. The in vivo detecting results of targeting effect using the Cy5.5 probe evidenced that SP94-NP showed an accumulation in tumor more efficiently than that of unconjugated ones. Meanwhile, SP94-NP exhibited the smallest tumor size than other groups and showed no toxicity to body. The results of this study provide a promising nanoplatform for the targeting of HCC.

  • Cryptotanshinone protects dextran sulfate sodium-induced experimental ulcerative colitis in mice by inhibiting intestinal inflammation.

    Co-Authors: Xiangjing Min, Ying Wang, Xi Zeng, Wenwen Zhao, Zhiwu Han, Yantao Han, Lixia Pei, Xiuping Chen
    Abstract:

    The incidence of ulcerative colitis (UC) is increasing in recent years. The protective effect of Cryptotanshinone, a natural compound from Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, on UC was investigated both in vivo and in vitro models. UC model was established by dextran sulfate sodium administration in drinking water and Cryptotanshinone was orally administrated. RAW264.7 cells were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) with or without Cryptotanshinone pretreatment. The body weights and disease activity index (DAI) were recorded. The pathological alterations were evaluated by H&E staining. The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in colon tissues and cell culture medium were determined with enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA) kits. The protein expression was detected by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Results showed that Cryptotanshinone significantly increased the body weight and colon length, reduced the score of DAI, and improved pathological changes. Furthermore, the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, receptor-interacting protein kinase 3, NF-κB p65 and the secretion of tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-6 in colon tissues and LPS-stimulated cells were significantly inhibited by Cryptotanshinone. Besides, Cryptotanshinone significantly inhibited LPS-triggered toll-like receptor 4 luciferase reporter activity with an IC50 at 7.2 μM. In conclusion, Cryptotanshinone ameliorated experimental UC possibly by inhibiting intestinal inflammation.

  • Cryptotanshinone sensitizes antitumor effect of paclitaxel on tongue squamous cell carcinoma growth by inhibiting the jak stat3 signaling pathway
    Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2017
    Co-Authors: Ying Wang, Yong-dong Liu, Li-yun Yang, Qing-kun Jiang, Xiao-jun Zhu, Hua-nan Fan, Yong Qian
    Abstract:

    Abstract Cryptotanshinone, a natural compound isolated from the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge (Danshen), has been found to induce cancer cells apoptosis and impair cell migration and invasion in various malignancies, but its antiproliferation and chemosensitization effects of Cryptotanshinone on tongue squamous cell carcinoma(TSCC)still remain fully elucidated. In this study, the effects of Cryptotanshinone on the proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle of human TSCC cells, including CAL 27 and SCC 9 cells, were measured. The results demonstrated that Cryptotanshinone dose-dependently inhibited cell migration and proliferation, and induced apoptosis in TSCC cells. Mechanistic study revealed that Cryptotanshinone suppressed the expression of p -STAT3, Bcl-2, CDK2, Snail and MMP2, and induced the expression of E-cadherin, P53, P21 and β-catenin. Furthermore, we found that the combination treatment of Cryptotanshinone and paclitaxel more effectively inhibited TSCC cell proliferation and migration, and induced apoptosis via the inhibition of STAT3 signaling pathway. In brief, we provided the new evidence that Cryptotanshinone could enhance the efficacy of paclitaxel on TSCC cells in vitro and demonstrated that STAT3 signaling pathway played an important role in Cryptotanshinone-induced anticancer effects in human TSCC.

  • preventive effects of a purified extract isolated from salvia miltiorrhiza enriched with tanshinone i tanshinone iia and Cryptotanshinone on hepatocyte injury in vitro and in vivo
    Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2009
    Co-Authors: Eunjeon Park, Yuzhe Zhao, Younchul Kim, Dong Hwan Sohn
    Abstract:

    Abstract Salvia miltiorrhiza is traditionally used to treat liver disease in Asia. In this study, we tested the ability of a purified extract of S. miltiorrhiza (PF2401-SF) and its constituents, tanshinone I, tanshinone IIA, and Cryptotanshinone, to protect against acute and subacute liver damage induced by carbon tetrachloride by measuring serum transaminase levels, the reduced form of glutathione (GSH), antioxidant enzyme activities, and lipid peroxidation levels in the liver. We also evaluated their ability to protect primary cultured rat hepatocytes from tertiary-butylhydroperoxide (tBH) or d -galactosamine (GalN). PF2401-SF was protective at 50–200 mg/kg per day in acute liver injury and 25–100 mg/kg per day in subacute liver injury. Tanshinone I, tanshinone IIA, and cryptotanshinon (40 μM), inhibited lactate dehydrogenase leakage, GSH depletion, lipid peroxidation and free radical generation in vitro. PF2401-SF and its major constituents, tanshinone I, tanshinone IIA and Cryptotanshinone, can protect against liver toxicity in vivo and in vitro due to its antioxidant effects.

  • simultaneous determination of tanshinone i dihydrotanshinone i tanshinone iia and Cryptotanshinone in rat plasma by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry application to a pharmacokinetic study of a standardized fraction of salvia miltiorrhiz
    Biomedical Chromatography, 2008
    Co-Authors: Eun Jeong Park, Younchul Kim, Dong Hwan Sohn, Nam Jin Kim, Won Young Song, Young Hoon Kim, Hye Suk Lee
    Abstract:

    A rapid, sensitive and selective liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of tanshinone I, dihydrotanshinone I, tanshinone IIA and Cryptotanshinone, the active components of Salvia miltiorrhiza in rat plasma, was developed. After liquid–liquid extraction with tariquidar as an internal standard, tanshinone I, dihydrotanshinone I, tanshinone IIA and Cryptotanshinone were eluted from an Atlantis dC18 column within 5 min with a mixture of methanol and ammonium formate (10 mm, pH 6.5; 85:15, v/v). The analytes were detected by an electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry in the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. The standard curves were linear (r = 0.999) over the concentration range of 0.25–80 ng/mL for tanshinone I, dihydrotanshinone I, tanshinone IIA and Cryptotanshinone in rat plasma. The coefficients of variation and the relative errors of tanshinone I, dihydrotanshinone I, tanshinone IIA and Cryptotanshinone for intra- and inter-assay at four quality control (QC) concentrations were 1.1–5.1% and −4.0–6.0%, respectively. The lower limit of quantification for tanshinone I, dihydrotanshinone I, tanshinone IIA and Cryptotanshinone was 0.25 ng/mL from 100 µL of plasma. This method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of tanshinone I, dihydrotanshinone I, tanshinone IIA and Cryptotanshinone after oral administration of PF2401-SF, the standardized fraction of Salvia miltiorrhiza enriched with tanshinone I, dihydrotanshinone I, tanshinone IIA and Cryptotanshinone to male Sprague–Dawley rats.
