OBJECTIVE To investigate the inhibiting role of Salvia miltiorrhiza monomer IH764-3 in proliferation and collagen synthesis and the effect on the expression of focal adhesion kinase in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) stimulated by H2O2 in vitro, so as to provide evidences for preventing hepatic

The possible effects of tanshinone VI (tsh), a diterpene from the root of Tan-Shen (Salvia miltiorrhiza, Bunge (Labiatae)) on hypertrophy and fibrosis in cultured neonatal rat cardiac myocytes and fibroblasts were examined. Tsh had no significant effect on protein synthesis, which was evaluated by

OBJECTIVE To investigate hepatic stellate cells (HSC) responses at different differentiation stages on transforming growth factor-beta 1, and to elucidate the mechanisms of salvianolic acid - B (SA-B), a water soluble compound from Salvia miltiorrhiza, against hepatic fibrosis, relating to

Cellulomonas uda efficiently solubilized chitinous substrates with a simple chitinase system composed of an endochitinase, designated ChiA, which hydrolyzed insoluble substrates into long-chain chitooligosaccharides, and an as yet uncharacterized exochitinase activity. ChiA, isolated from culture

A chitinase gene (chiA) from Pseudomonas sp. YHS-A2 was cloned into Escherichia coli using pUC19. The nucleotide sequence determination revealed a single open reading frame of chiA comprised of 1902 nucleotide base pairs and 633 deduced amino acids with a molecular weight of 67,452 Da. Amino acid

Pyrococcus furiosus was found to grow on chitin, adding this polysacharide to the inventory of carbohydrates utilized by this hyperthermophilic archaeon. Accordingly, two open reading frames (chiA [Pf1234] and chiB [Pf1233]) were identified in the genome of P. furiosus, which encodes chitinases with

Salvia miltiorrhiza is a medicinal herb commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. This study investigated the effects of Cardiotonic Pill (CP), a pharmaceutical preparation of Salvia miltiorrhiza, on cardiac myocytes and fibroblasts

BACKGROUND In utero environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure exacerbates initial lung responses of adult mice to ovalbumin (OVA), a common allergen in rodent models of allergic asthma. OBJECTIVE We tested the hypothesis that in utero ETS exposure alters expression of genes (including

Plant metabonomic analysis is essential for understanding plant systems responses to osmotic stresses. To understand the comprehensive metabolic responses of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (SMB) to continuous and exhaustive water depletion, we characterized the SMB metabonomic variations induced by three

BACKGROUND The transforming growth factor (TGF)-β/Smad pathway plays a key role in keloid development. We have previously demonstrated that compound Astragalus and Salvia miltiorrhiza extract (CASE) inhibits liver fibrosis and reduces invasion capacity of HepG2 cells by mediating the TGF-β/Smad

:p-Coumaric acid (p-CA) belongs to a family of natural esters of hydroxycinnamic acid compounds that have been shown to modulate plant growth and metabolism. In this study, we investigated the effect of exogenous p-CA on plant growth, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced

The effect of elicitors on the metabolites in the suspension cells of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge was elucidated by comparing and analyzing the metabolites of induced and uninduced suspension cells. The primary metabolites were detected by GC-MS. Twelve types of secondary metabolites, namely,

The effectiveness of autochthonous plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria was studied in Lavandula dentata and Salvia officinalis growing in a natural arid Mediterranean soil under drought conditions. These bacteria identified as Bacillus megaterium (Bm), Enterobacter sp. (E), Bacillus thuringiensis

Natural deep eutectic solvents (NaDESs) are recently developed green solvent alternatives to conventional fossil solvents. The present work systematically screened 22 different NaDESs for the ultrasonic-assisted extraction of bioactive components from Salvia miltiorrhiza (SM), a widely used
