The aims of this study are to (1) review the fundamental knowledge of AR from the perspectives of the Western medicine and CM perspectives, (2) investigate the effectiveness and the safety of CHM used for the management of AR by conducting a systematic review (SR) of the RCTs, (3) elucidate the pharmacological effects and the mechanisms of actions of the five herbs commonly used in the RCTs, and (4) extract the herbs used in retrospective diagnosis of ARlike signs and symptoms from the classical texts, conduct pattern analyses of the herbs used classically by employing principal component a...

Nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a crucial transcription factor that regulates the expression of defensive antioxidants and detoxification enzymes in cells. In a previous study, we showed that expression of the Nrf2 gene is regulated by an epigenetic modification. Rauvolfia verticillata, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine widely used in China, possesses anticancer and antioxidant effects. In this study, we investigated how Nrf2 is epigenetically regulated by reserpine, the main active component in R. verticillata, in mouse skin epidermal JB6 P+ cells.

The rhizome of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels (Umbelliferae) is known as "Danggui" in China, has been used widely in traditional Chinese medicine to treat irregular menstruation, anaemia, headache, hypertension, chronic asthma and rheumatism. From the ethyl acetate extract of its roots four phthalides have been isolated. Their structures were identified by MS and NMR spectroscopic methods to be (Z)-3-butylidenphthalide, senkyunolide H, senkyunolide I and dihydroxyligustilide.

The cloned guinea-pig Y2 neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, as well as the Y2 receptors natively expressed in rat forebrain, are distributed in two populations. A smaller population that is readily accessed by agonist peptides on the surface of intact cells constitutes less than 30% of Y2 receptors detected in particulates after cell homogenization. A much larger fraction of cell surface Y2 sites can be activated by sulfhydryl modifiers.

The structure of post-translational modifications of human heparin cofactor II isolated from human serum and from recombinant Chinese hamster ovary cells and their effects on heparin binding have been characterized. Oligosaccharide chains were found attached to all three potential N-glycosylation sites in both protein preparations. The carbohydrate structures of heparin cofactor II circulating in blood are complex-type diantennary and triantennary chains in a ratio of 6 : 1 with the galactose being 90% sialylated with a2 fi 6 linked N-acetylneuraminic acid....

Froma cDNA library of Chinese scorpionButhus martensii Karsch, full-length cDNAs of 351 nucleotides encoding precursors (named BmKIM) that contain signal peptides of 21 amino acid residues, a mature toxin of 61 residues with four disulfide bridges, and an extra Gly-Lys-Lys tail, were isolated. The genomic sequence of BmKIM was cloned and sequenced; it consisted of two exons disrupted by an intron of 1622 bp, the largest known in scorpion toxin genomes, inserted in the region encoding the signal peptide. The cDNA was expressed inEscherichia coli....

We examined the effect of suboptimal concentrations of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, which do not interfere with cell proliferation, on retinoblastoma expression in hamster (Chinese hamster ovaryK1) and human (K562 and HeLa) cells. To achieve this, we used the chemical inhibitors roscovitine and olomoucine (which inhibit CDK2 prefer-entially),UCN-01 (which also inhibits CDK4/6) andp21 (as an intrinsic inhibitor). All chemical inhibitors and over-expression of p21 strongly induced retinoblastoma protein expression.

GM-CSF is one of several naturally occurring glycoproteins that regulate leukocyte production, migration and function. It has been produced in different cell types, with different properties that depend on the production process used. The purpose of this work was to characterize the recombinant human GM-CSF from an engineered Chinese hamster ovary cell line grown in suspension and as adherent culture for the identification of the glycosylation sites and the defi-nition of the glycosidic moiety, including the degree of site occupancy....

A cDNA encoding a novel plant type III polyketide synthase was cloned and sequenced from the Chinese club moss Huperzia serrata(Huperzia-ceae). The deduced amino acid sequence ofHu. serratapolyketide synthase 1 showed 44–66% identity to those of other chalcone synthase superfamily enzymes of plant origin.
