Aging is the crucial co-morbidity that prevents the full cardioprotection against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Combination therapy as a promising strategy may overcome this clinical problem. This study aimed to investigate the cardioprotective effects of Ginsenoside compound-Mc1 (GMc1) and Dendrobium Nobile Lindl (DNL) in myocardial I/R injury and explore the involvement of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in aged rats. In vivo I/R injury and myocardial infarction was established by temporary coronary ligation in 22–24 months’ old Sprague Dawley male rats. GMc1 (10 mg/kg) and DNL (80 mg/kg) were administered intraperitoneally for 4 weeks and orally for 14 days, respectively, before I/R injury. Infarct size was measured through triphenyl-tetrazolium-chloride staining. ELISA assay was conducted to quantify the levels of cardiotroponin, and myocardial content of TNF-α and glutathione. Western blotting was employed to detect the expression of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB proteins. GMc1 and DNL significantly reduced the infarct size to a similar extent ( p < 0.05) but their combined effect was greater than individual ones ( p < 0.01). Combination therapy significantly restored the left ventricular end-diastolic and developed pressures at the end of reperfusion as compared with the untreated group ( p < 0.01). Although the GMc1 and DNL reduced the levels of inflammatory cytokine TNF-α and increased the contents of antioxidant glutathione significantly, their individual effects on the reduction of protein expression of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway were not consistent. However, their combination could significantly reduce all parameters of this inflammatory pathway as compared to untreated I/R rats ( p < 0.001). Therefore, the combined treatment with GMc1 and DNL increased the potency of each intervention in protecting the aged hearts against I/R injury. Reduction in the activity of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway and subsequent modulation of the activity of inflammatory cytokines and endogenous antioxidants play an important role in this cardioprotection.

Emergency of nanoparticulate drug delivery systems has improved the target, bioavailability, and curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, the application of nano-preparation has been limited owing to the low content of active ingredients in part TCM. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate plant growth, development, and response to environmental stresses at post-transcriptional regulation level by cleavage or translational inhibition. The molecular functions of miRNAs playing a role in synthesizing active comportments at medicinal plants have been widely researched. Dendrobium nobile is a perennial herb in the orchidaceae family. D. nobile protocorm can produce plant-specific metabolites at a short period. Therefore, it is a good substitute for producing metabolites. To understand the functions of miRNAs in D. nobile protocorm, Illumina sequencing of D. nobile protocorm (Dnp), D. officinale protocorm (Dcp), and D. nobile leaf (Dnl) were carried out. A total of 439, 412, and 432 miRNAs were identified from Dnp, Dcp, and Dnl, respectively. Some specific miRNAs were identified among them. Through combing GO and KEGG function annotation, miRNAs mainly involved metabolic pathways, plant hormone signal transduction, biological regulation, and protein binding. Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (AACT), mevalonate kinase (MK), 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR), and 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate cytidylyltransferase (HDS), synthesizing basic precursor isoprene pyrophosphate (IPP) in terpenoid backbone biosynthesis pathway, were predicted as potential targets of 6 different miRNAs. Twenty-six miRNAs participated in auxin, cytokinin, abscisic acid, jasmonic acid, and salicylic acid signal transduction pathway. This report provided valuable candidate genes in Dnp involved in terpenoid biosynthesis and plant hormone signal transduction pathway. At the same time, it can help accelerate the use of dendrobine into nano preparation.

Background: High methionine-diet (HMD) causes Alzheimer's disease (AD)-like symptoms. Previous studies have shown that Dendrobium nobile Lindle. alkaloids (DNLA) had potential benefits for AD. Object: Whether DNLA can improve AD-like symptoms induced by HMD is to be explored. Method: Mice were fed with 2% HMD diet for 11 weeks, the DNLA20 control group (20 mg/kg), DNLA10 group (10 mg/kg), and DNLA20 group (20 mg/kg) were administrated with DNLA for 3 months. Morris water maze test was used to detect learning and memory ability. Neuron damage was evaluated by HE and Nissl stainings. Levels of homocysteine (Hcy), beta-amyloid 1-42 (Aβ1-42), S-adenosine methionine (SAM), and S-adenosine homocysteine (SAH) were detected by ELISA. Immunofluorescence and western blotting (WB) were used to determine the expression of proteins. CPG island methylation. Results: Morris water maze test revealed that DNLA improved learning and memory dysfunction. HE, Nissl, and immunofluorescence stainings showed that DNLA alleviated neuron damage and reduced the 5-methylcytosine (5-mC), Aβ1-40, and Aβ1-42 levels. DNLA also decreased the levels of Hcy and Aβ1-42 in the serum, along with decreased SAM/SAH levels in the liver tissue. WB results showed that DNLA down-regulated the expression of the amyloid-precursor protein (APP), presenilin-1 (PS1), beta-secretase-1 (BACE1), DNA methyltransferase1 (DNMT1), Aβ1-40, and Aβ1-42 proteins. DNLA also up-regulated the expression of the protein of insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE), neprilysin (NEP), DNMT3a, and DNMT3b. Meanwhile, DNLA increased CPG island methylation levels of APP and BACE1 genes. Conclusions: DNLA alleviated AD-like symptoms induced by HMD via the DNA methylation pathway.

A água de coco é um dos componentes orgânicos de baixo custo mais utilizados nos meios de cultura para cultivo in vitro de plantas, mas poucas são as informações sobre seus efeitos em orquídeas, onde esse tipo de propagação é utilizado. Assim, objetivou-se estudar as quantidades de água de coco acrescidas ao meio de cultura quanto aos seus efeitos na germinação e crescimento in vitro de Dendrobium nobile. Foi utilizado o delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, com três repetições, e os tratamentos compostos de cinco volumes de água de coco (0; 50; 100; 150 e 200 mL L-1), que foram adicionados ao meio de cultura. Foram utilizadas como material de estudo sementes de D. nobile produzidas mediante autopolinização manual. Após a semeadura, as culturas permaneceram por seis meses em sala de crescimento com temperatura e fotoperíodo controlados (12 horas, 1000 lux; 23ºC ± 2) quando as plântulas foram avaliadas. A adição de 200 mL L-1 de água de coco ao meio de cultura propiciou os melhores resultados para comprimento, diâmetro e número dos pseudobulbos, número de folhas, número de raízes, comprimento de raízes e massa fresca de D. nobile, não influenciando apenas a porcentagem de germinação e o número de plântulas produzidas.
