The compound that distributes in the herbs with one common effect was named as "co-effect compound" (CEC). The CECs of three traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) effects, purgative, relieving pain and clearing heat, had been found and studied. A strong corresponding relationship was found between the pharmacological activities of CECs and the TCM effect they belong to. The study shows that it may be a feasible method to connect traditional effect of TCM with modem pharmacological activity.

This study aimed to investigate the potential protective properties of a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbal product, Siraitia grosvenorii granules (SGG) against PM2.5-induced lung injury, as well as their active constituents and underlying mechanisms. The chemical composition of SGG, such as wogonin (MOL000173), luteolin (MOL000006), nobiletin (MOL005828), naringenin (MOL004328), acacetin (MOL001689), were identified via ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-Q Exactive (UHPLC-QE) Orbitrap/MS.

School of Medicine and Pharmacy, Ocean University of China, 5 Yushan Rd, Qingdao, Shandong, 266003, CHINA.

Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancy in the world, and early detection of lung cancer remains a challenge. The exhaled breath condensate (EBC) from lung and trachea can be collected totally noninvasively. In this study, our aim is to identify differential metabolites between non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and control EBC samples and discriminate NSCLC group from control group by orthogonal projections to latent structures-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) models.

KSHV hijacks the antiviral kinase IKKε to initiate lytic replication.

PLoS Pathog

January 2025

Institute of Pediatric Infection, Immunity, and Critical Care Medicine, Shanghai Children's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.

IKKε is a traditional antiviral kinase known for positively regulating the production of type I interferon (IFN) and the expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) during various virus infections. However, through an inhibitor screen targeting cellular kinases, we found that IKKε plays a crucial role in the lytic replication of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). Mechanistically, during KSHV lytic replication, IKKε undergoes significant SUMOylation at both Lys321 and Lys549 by the viral SUMO E3 ligase ORF45.
