“…TanIIA also inhibited the translocation of Cdk5 from the nucleus into the cytoplasm of primary neurons induced by Aβ [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] . Fan and coworkers [41] demonstrated that TSAII exerts anti-inflammatory effects by inhibition of inflammation cytokine (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) expression via the ER-dependent pathway and inhibition of iNOS gene expression and NO production. Proinflammatory cytokines have been implicated in the disruption of the BBB and the invasion of inflammatory cells into the CNS [41].…”

TSAII suppressed the expression of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-8, upregulated the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, and increased the TGF-β1 level.…”

“…However, treatment with isoliquiritigenin had no significant effect on these molecules, suggesting that the anti-angiogenesis action of Tanshinone IIA, isolated from the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza, is widely used in the prescriptions for treating vascular diseases. While the scientific evidence supporting its beneficial effect on vasculature in humans is not well established, some studies showed that tanshinone IIA protects against vascular inflammation and promotes vasodilatation [34][35][36]. In addition, tanshinone IIA has been shown to inhibit proliferation and migration of cancer cells [37][38][39].…”

Neovascularization is often involved in many diseases and there is no effective treatment for this pathological process. In searching for potential therapies for neovascularization, we screened nineteen pre-selected small molecules isolated from herbal extracts for their possible anti-angiogenic effect in vitro and in vivo. We found that isoliquiritigenin, a chalconoid compound isolated from Chinese herb medicine licorice, potently inhibited vascular endothelial cell (EC) proliferation, migration, tube -like structure formation ex vivo. Western blot analysis shows that exposure of ECs to isoliquiritigenin inhibited extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) phosphorylation. In Matrigel plug assay, isoliquiritigenin effectively blocked fibroblast growth factor-induced in vivo angiogenesis in mice. Consistently, topical application of isoliquiritigenin significantly inhibited chemical injury-induced corneal neovascularization in mice. Collectively, these results suggest that isoliquiritigenin may be a low-cost and effective natural agent to treat angiogenesis-dependent diseases.

Objectives : This study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix (SMR) water extract against the cerebral hemorrhage and the blood-brain barrier (BBB) impairment in the intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Method : ICH was induced by the stereotaxic intrastriatal injection of bacterial collagenase type IV in Sprague-Dawley rats. SMR was orally given three times every 20 hours during 3 days after the ICH induction. Hematoma volume, water content of brain tissue and volume of evans blue leakage were examined. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) positive neutrophils and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were observed with immunofluorescence labeling and confocal microscope. Results : SMR significantly reduced the hematoma volume of the ICH-induced rat brain. SMR significantly reduced the water content of brain tissue of the ICH-induced rat brain. SMR reduced the percentage of the evans blue leakage around the hematoma on the caudate putamen compared to the ICH group, especially on the cerebral cortex. SMR significantly reduced the volume of the evans blue leakage level in the peri-hematoma regions of the ICH-induced rat brain. SMR significantly reduced MPO positive neutrophils in the peri-hematoma regions of the ICH-induced rat brain. SMR reduced the TNF-α expression in peri-hematoma regions of the ICH-induced rat brain. TNF-α immuno-labeled cells were coincided with MPO immuno-labeled neutrophils in peri-hematoma regions of the ICH-induced rat brain. Conclusion : These results suggest that SMR plays a protective role against the blood-brain barrier impairment in the ICH through suppression of inflammation in the rat brain tissues.
