Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Dan-shen Yin (DSY) originated from the "Shi Fang Ge Kuo" is a Chinese formula composed of three medicines: Salvia miltiorrhiza (Dan-shen), Santalum album L. (Tan-xiang) and Amomum villosum Lour. (Sha-ren).

Regulation of T cells in the tumor microenvironment by histone methylation: LSD1 inhibition-a new direction for enhancing immunotherapy.

Although immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has been shown to achieve durable therapeutic responses in various types of tumors, only 20-40 % of patients benefit from this therapy. A growing body of research suggests that epigenetic modulation of the tumor microenvironment may be a promising direction for enhancing the efficacy of immunotherapy, for example, histone methylation plays an important role in the regulation of T cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). In particular, histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1/KDM1A), as an important histone-modifying enzyme in epigenetics, was found to be an important factor in the regulation of T cells.

The role of histone methylase and demethylase in antitumor immunity: A new direction for immunotherapy.

Epigenetic modifications may alter the proliferation and differentiation of normal cells, leading to malignant transformation. They can also affect normal stimulation, activation, and abnormal function of immune cells in the tissue microenvironment. Histone methylation, coordinated by histone methylase and histone demethylase to stabilize transcription levels in the promoter area, is one of the most common types of epigenetic alteration, which gained increasing interest.

Integrating Anti-Influenza Virus Activity and Chemical Pattern Recognition to Explore the Quality Evaluation Method of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos.

Lonicerae japonicae flos (LJF, Thunb.) is adopted as a core herb for preventing and treating influenza. However, the anti-influenza virus components of LJF and the impact of quality-affecting factors on the anti-influenza activity of LJF have not been systematically investigated.

Ginsenoside Rg5 allosterically interacts with P2RY and ameliorates deep venous thrombosis by counteracting neutrophil NETosis and inflammatory response.

Background: Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) highly occurs in patients with severe COVID-19 and probably accounted for their high mortality. DVT formation is a time-dependent inflammatory process in which NETosis plays an important role. However, whether ginsenoside Rg5 from species of genus could alleviate DVT and its underlying mechanism has not been elucidated.

Discrimination of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos according to species, growth mode, processing method, and geographical origin with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography analysis and chemical pattern recognition.

Lonicerae japonicae flos (LJF, Lonicera japonica Thunb.) is often confused and/or adulterated with Lonicerae flos (LF, Lonicera macrantha (D.Don) Spreng.

Chemical Pattern Recognition for Quality Analysis of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Lonicerae Flos Based on Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Anti-SARS-CoV2 Main Protease Activity.

Lonicerae japonicae flos (L. japonicae flos, Thunb.) is one of the most commonly prescribed botanical drugs in the treatment or prevention of corona virus disease 2019.

Application of UHPLC Fingerprints Combined with Chemical Pattern Recognition Analysis in the Differentiation of Six Species.

, especially and , is an increasingly widely used traditional medicine or dietary supplement in Asian and western countries. Because of the phytochemical diversity and difference of therapeutic efficacy among species, it is crucial to accurately identify them. In this study, a simple and efficient method of the classification of , , and their confusable species (, , and ) was established by UHPLC fingerprints combined with chemical pattern recognition analysis.

[Construction of T7 RNA polymerase gene expression system in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 for the expression of hG-CSF].

The low expression rate of exogenous genes in cyanobacteria is one of the bottlenecks of cyanobacteria genetic engineering. The T7 RNA polymerase expression system has achieved the efficient expression of exogenous genes in Escherichia coli. Cyanobacteria and E.
