Polyamine metabolism is innervation responsive and involved in denervation‐induced muscle atrophy. Inhibition of polyamine metabolism attenuates muscle atrophy by restraining proteolysis and preserving MuSCs homeostasis. Denervation‐induced activation of FAP‐derived FGF7 drives premature MuSCs activation, while DFMO suppresses this paracrine cue to ...

Catalpol represses the migration, proliferation and epithelial mesenchymal transition of TGF β2 stimulated lens epithelial cells via TGF β/Smad and Notch1 signaling pathways [PDF]
Purpose: To investigate the role of catalpol in posterior capsule opacification (PCO). Methods: Human lens epithelial cells (SRA01/04) were treated with TGF-β2 or co-treated with TGF-β2 and different concentrations of catalpol.

ABSTRACT Iridoids constitute a prominent class of plant‐specialised metabolites, with carbocyclic iridoids (e.g., geniposide) and secoiridoids (e.g., loganin) diverging early in their biosynthetic pathways. This divergence is marked by substrate‐specific carboxyl methyltransferases—GjGAMT and CrLAMT—that catalyse the decisive methylation step in ...

Catalpol alleviates the lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory response of BV2 cells
This study aimed to investigate the effect of catalpol on the inflammatory response of murine microglial cell line (BV2 cells) induced by lipopolysaccharide. Cell proliferation activity was detected by CCK-8 assay.

Effect of catalpol on behavior and neurodevelopment in an ADHD rat model
Studies suggest that abnormal neurodevelopment of prefrontal striatal circuits is implicated in the pathogenesis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In the present study, we investigated the effect of catalpol, an active ingredient of Rehmanniae radix preparata, which is the most frequently used Chinese medicinal herb for the treatment ...

α-Synuclein induced cell death in mouse hippocampal (HT22) cells is mediated by nitric oxide-dependent activation of caspase-3 [PDF]
Our previous studies indicated that exogenous α-synuclein (ASN) activates neuronal nitric oxide (NO) synthase (nNOS) in rat brain slices. The present study, carried out on immortalized hippocampal neuronal cells (HT22), was designed to extend the ...

Cistanche deserticola (CD) Y. C. Ma is a well‐known tonic medicinal material, and its clinical value and industrial development are highly dependent on the integrity of core pharmacodynamic components (such as phenylosides and polysaccharides). This article systematically reviews the impact of three key links: harvest maturity, postharvest preservation
