Inhibition of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) may improve the efficacy of cancer therapy. Polysaccharide extracted from polygonatum can selectively inhibit the growth of prostate-CAFs (p<0.001) without inhibiting the growth of normal fibroblasts (NAFs). Polysaccharides from polygonatum stimulate autophagy of prostate-CAFs. 3-methyl-adenine(3-MA) is an autophagy inhibitor. 3-MA was added to prostate-CAFs with polysaccharide from polygonatum to determine whether autophagy plays an important role in the restrained effect. Finally, polysaccharide from polygonatum treatment significantly increased the activation of Beclin-1 and LC3, key autophagy proteins. Polysaccharide from polygonatum stimulates autophagy of prostate-CAFs and inhibits prostate-CAF growth, indicating that a novel anti-cancer strategy involves inhibiting the growth of prostate-CAFs.
Therapeutic Effects of Ginseng on Psychotic Disorders
Yuan Ma,Jae Soon Eun,Ki-Wan Oh 고려인삼학회 2007 Journal of Ginseng Research Vol.31 No.3
Ginseng, the root of Panax species, a well-known herbal medicine has been used as a traditional medicine for thousands of years and is now a popular and worldwide used natural medicine. Ginseng has been used primarily as a tonic to invigorate weak bodies to help the restoration of homeostasis in a wide range of pathological conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, immune deficiency and hepatotoxicity. Although conclusive clinical data in humans is still missing, recent research results have suggested that some of the active ingredients ginseng exert beneficial effects on central nervous system (CNS) disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, suggesting it could be used in treatment of psychotic disorders. Data from neural cell cultures and animal studies contribute to the understanding of these mechanisms that involve inhibitory effects on stress-induced corticosterone level increasing and modulating of neurontransmitters, reducing Ca²? over-influx, scavenging of free radicals and counteracting excitotoxicity. In this review, we focused on recently reported medicinal effects of ginseng and summarized the possibility of its applications on psychotic disorders.

The present investigation was performed to evaluate the homeostatic regulation of sleep architecture by the ethanolextract of Korea red ginseng (KRG), since the available data were often controversial. In addition, it was also interested in whether the sleep-wake stages were differently affected by low and high doses of KRG. Each adult Wistar male rat was implanted with a transmitter for recording EEG and activity via telemetry. After one week of surgery, polygraphic signs of undisturbed sleep-wake activities were recorded for 12 h (between 9:00 am and 9:00 pm) after KRG administration. KRG (10 and 100 ㎎/㎏) increased non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep as well as total sleep. The total percentages of wakefulness were decreased comparably. KRG (10 ㎎/㎏) decreased the power density of the δ-wave (0.75-4.5 ㎐) and increased α-wave (8.0-13.0 ㎐) in the NREM and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. KRG also decreased δ-wave power density in wake time. However, KRG (100 ㎎/㎏) increased δ-wave and decreased θ-wave (5.0-9.0 ㎐) power density in wake time, while showed little effect on the power density in NREM and REM sleep. In conclusion, low and high doses of KRG increase spontaneous sleep and NREM sleep and differently regulate the EEG spectra in REM and NREM sleep.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>This study aimed to investigate the effects of obovatol isolated from <I>Magnolia obovata</I> on pentobarbital-induced sleeping behaviors and to determine whether these effects were mediated by GABA<SUB>A</SUB> receptors/chloride channel activation, using a western blot technique and Cl<SUP>−</SUP> sensitive fluorescence probe. GABA<SUB>A</SUB> receptors subunits expression and chloride influx were investigated in cultured cerebellar granule cells. Obovatol (0.05, 0.1, and 0.2mg/kg) prolonged the sleeping time induced by pentobarbital (42mg/kg). In addition, obovatol (20 and 50μM) significantly increased Cl<SUP>−</SUP> influx in the primary cultured cerebellar granule cells. Moreover, obovatol increased the expression of GABA<SUB>A</SUB> receptor α-, β-, and γ-subunits. However, it had no effect on the abundance of the expression of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), suggesting that obovatol might not activate GAD. These results suggest that obovatol potentiates pentobarbital-induced sleeping time through the GABA<SUB>A</SUB> receptors/chloride channel activation.</P>

Radiation proctitis is a common complication after radiotherapy for pelvic malignant tumors. This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of novel almagate enemas in hemorrhagic chronic radiation proctitis (CRP) and evaluate risk factors related to rectal deep ulcer or fistula secondary to CRP. All patients underwent a colonoscopy to confirm the diagnosis of CRP and symptoms were graded. Typical endoscopic and pathological images, risk factors, and quality of life were also recorded. A total of 59 patients were enrolled. Gynecological cancers composed 93.1% of the primary malignancies. Complete or obvious reduction of bleeding was observed in 90% (53/59) patients after almagate enema. The mean score of bleeding improved from 2.17 to 0.83 (P<0.001) after the enemas. The mean response time was 12 days. No adverse effects were found. Moreover, long-term successful rate in controlling bleeding was 69% and the quality of life was dramatically improved (P=0.001). The efficacy was equivalent to rectal sucralfate, but the almagate with its antacid properties acted more rapidly than sucralfate. Furthermore, we firstly found that moderate to severe anemia was the risk factor of CRP patients who developed rectal deep ulcer or fistulas (P= 0.015). We also found abnormal hyaline-like thick wall vessels, which revealed endarteritis obliterans and the fibrosis underlying this disease. These findings indicate that almagate enema is a novel effective, rapid and well-tolerated method for hemorrhagic CRP. Moderate to severe anemia is a risk factor for deep ulceration or fistula.

KRG (10 mg/kg) decreased the power density of the ${\delta}-wave$ (0.75-4.5 Hz) and increased ${\alpha}-wave$ (8.0-13.0 Hz) in the NREM and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. KRG also decreased ${\delta}-wave$ power density in wake time. However, KRG (100 mg/kg) increased ${\delta}-wave$ and decreased ${\theta}-wave$ (5.0-9.0 Hz) power density in wake time, while showed little effect on the power density in NREM and REM sleep. In conclusion, low and high doses of KRG increase spontaneous sleep and NREM sleep and differently regulate the EEG spectra in REM and NREM sleep.

<P>Zizyphi Spinosi Semen (ZSS) has been widely used for the treatment of insomnia in oriental countries. This experiment was performed to investigate whether sanjoinine A, one of major alkaloid compounds of ZSS, has hypnotic effects and/or enhances pentobarbital-induced sleeping behaviors through the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic systems. Sanjoinine A itself did not induce sleeping at the higher dose used in this experiment. However, sanjoinine A prolonged sleeping time and reduced the sleeping latency induced by pentobarbital in a dose-dependent manner similar to muscimol, a GABA<SUB>A</SUB> receptor agonist. Sanjoinine A also increased sleeping rate and sleeping time when administered combined with pentobarbital at a sub-hypnotic dosage and showed synergistic effects with muscimol in potentiating sleeping onset and enhancing sleeping time induced by pentobarbital. In addition, both sanjoinine A and pentobarbital increased chloride influx in primary cultured cerebellar granule cells. Sanjoinine A also showed similar effects with muscimol in potentiating chloride influx inducing effects of low dose pentobarbital. Sanjoinine A decreased GABA<SUB>A</SUB> receptor α-subunit expression and increased γ-subunit expression, and had no effects on the abundance of β-subunits in primary cultured cerebellar granule cells, showing different subunit expression from pentobarbital. In addition, we found that sanjoinine A also enhanced expression of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), but pentobarbital did not. In conclusion, sanjoinine A itself does not induce sleeping, but it augments pentobarbital-induced sleeping behaviors through the modification of GABA-ergic systems.</P>
