    Article Title: Integrated serum pharmacochemistry, network pharmacology and transcriptomics reveals the mechanism of Periploca forrestii on rheumatoid arthritis bone erosion.
    Article Snippet: Ethnopharmacological relevance: Periploca forrestii Schltr. (PF), classified among the “Ten Major Miao Medicinal Herbs” of Guizhou, China, has been traditionally used in Miao medicine to treat fractures and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), in accordance with the principle of “using vines to alleviate obstruction-related pain.” However, the mechanism underlying its bone-protective effects, particularly regarding bone metabolism regulation in RA, remains incompletely elucidated.. Aim of the study: To investigate the potential pharmacodynamic material basis and mechanisms of PF against RAassociated bone erosion by integrating serum pharmacochemistry, network pharmacology, and transcriptomics, with in vivo experimental validation, thereby providing scientific evidence for its traditional application.. Materials and methods: Chemical constituents of PF and its plasma-absorbed components were characterized using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS and GNPS molecular networking, while potential targets and pathways were predicted through network pharmacology.

    Loss of SMAD4 impairs CCL, CXCL, and IL-family cytokine synthesis in PDAC cells. An equal number of PANC-1 cells were seeded into 6-well plates and incubated either with a control siRNA (siControl) or siRNA against SMAD4 (siSMAD4). After 24 hours, cells were treated with either a saline vehicle or 10ng/mL of recombinant TGFβ1. Following another 24 hours, cells were incubated with a protein transport inhibitor for one hour, lysed, and 200μg of total cell lysate was evaluated by a high throughput proteome profiler array (ARY022B). Pixel density was evaluated using ImageJ, and samples normalized to the mean intensity of the reference spots for each blot minus the background density. Values are presented as fold change for (A) CCL family cytokines/chemokines, (B) CXCL and IL family cytokines/chemokines, (C) additional immunomodulatory proteins. (*p < 0.05).

    JURKAT T-cells remain refractory from full activation when grown in conditioned media from SMAD4-deficient tumor cells. (A) PANC-1 tumor cells were incubated with either a control siRNA (siControl) or siRNA against SMAD4 (siSMAD4) and stimulated with 10ng/mL of recombinant TGFβ1 after 24 hours. Four hours after treatment, media was changed to serum-free DMEM and collected after another 24 hours. This media was supplemented with 10% FBS and 2μl/mL ImmunoCult Human CD3/CD28 T Cell Activator and administered to 1 million serum-starved JURKAT T-cells. After 24 hours, JURKAT cells were collected, incubated with a protein transport inhibitor for one hour, and analyzed for T-cell activation by flow cytometry for the activation markers CD69, IFNγ, or CD69 and IFNγ. (B) The modal expression of CD69 and IFNγ is displayed as a histogram plot. (C) Using the described gating, the relative percent of CD69+ and IFNγ+ events are plotted, as are the absolute number of each per 10,000 events (*p < 0.05). (D) MIA PaCa-2 tumor cells were incubated with either a siControl or siSMAD4, treated similarly, and media collected as described. This media was supplemented with 10% FBS and 2μl/mL ImmunoCult Human CD3/CD28 T Cell Activator, and administered to 1 million serum-starved JURKAT T-cells, which were analyzed by flow cytometry as described previously. (E) The modal expression of CD69 and IFNγ is displayed as a histogram plot. (F) Using the described gating, the relative percent of CD69+ and IFNγ+ events are plotted, as are the absolute number of each per 10,000 events. (*p < 0.05).

    TGFβ/SMAD signaling downregulates PD-L1 expression in vitro , yet SMAD4-intact tumors have higher expression of PD-L1 in vivo. (A) Non-malignant HPNE cells and human PDAC cell lines PANC-1, MIA PaCa-2, CaPan-1, CaPan-2, BxPC-3, and AsPC-1 were lysed and analyzed for basal expression of SMAD4, PD-L1, and HLA-A,B,C by western blot. (B-D) PANC-1, BxPC-3, and AsPC-1 cells were incubated with either a saline vehicle or 10ng/mL of recombinant TGFβ1 and evaluated after 24 hours by western blot. (E) PANC-1 and MIA PaCa-2 cells were incubated with either a control siRNA (siControl) or siRNA against SMAD4 (siSMAD4), and after 24 hours, CD274 (PD-L1) mRNA was evaluated by qPCR. (F, G) PANC-1 and MIA PaCa-2 cells were incubated with either siControl or siSMAD4 and, after 24 hours, stimulated with 10ng/mL of recombinant TGFβ1. Cells were lysed after another 24-hour period and evaluated by western blot analysis. (H) BxPC-3 cells were transfected with a wild-type SMAD4 plasmid (SMAD4 WT ). After 24 hours, cells were stimulated with 10ng/mL of recombinant TGFβ1 and evaluated by western blot analysis after another 24 hours. (I) Using the TCGA genomic database of pancreatic cancer patients (N=186), the 149 fully sequenced tumors were separated into two groups: those with no SMAD4 alteration (SMAD4 wild-type or WT), and those with presumptive SMAD4 loss via a known inactivating mutation, mRNA downregulation, and/or copy number deletion. We then compared the mRNA expression of CD274 in each group. (J) SMAD4 mRNA expression was plotted against that of CD274 . All mRNA expression values are plotted in log scale and are displayed with the associated p and Spearmen (S) coefficient values. (K) Excisional biopsies from two cohorts of PDAC patients (N=44 and N=36, respectively) were sectioned and stained via immunohistochemistry for SMAD4 or PD-L1. (L-N) Patients were grouped as being either SMAD4-expressing (SMAD4+) or SMAD4-non-expressing (SMAD4-), and the percent of each group also positive for PD-L1 displayed as a pie chart. (*p < 0.05).

    IFNγ overcomes the inhibitory effects of TGFβ/SMAD signaling on PD-L1 expression both in vivo and in vitro. (A) Excisional biopsies from 44 PDAC patients in cohort A and 36 PDAC patients in cohort B were sectioned and stained with H&E, lymphocytes quantified per 40X field, and arranged by PD-L1 status. (B-D) Using the TCGA genomic database of pancreatic cancer patients, CD274 mRNA expression was plotted against that of CD3E , CD3G , and IFNG . (E-G) Also, using the TCGA genomic database, IFNG mRNA expression was plotted against that of CD3E , CD3G , or SMAD4. ( H ) The 36 excisional PDAC specimens from cohort B were stained by immunohistochemistry for IFNγ, as well as dual-stained for either the duct marker CK19 and IFNγ, epithelial surrogate marker E-Cadherin and IFNγ, or the T-cell marker CD3 and IFNγ. The percent area positive for IFNγ was quantified as described and related to SMAD4 status. (I) The number of CD3+IFNγ+ cells were quantified per 40X field and arranged by both SMAD4 and PD-L1 status. (J) PANC-1 cells were incubated with 1ng/mL of recombinant IFNγ in the presence of increasing doses of recombinant TGFβ1, and PD-L1 expression evaluated by western blot after 24 hours. (K) PANC-1 cells were again incubated with either siControl or siSMAD4 and, after 24 hours, stimulated with 10ng/mL of recombinant TGFβ1. This experiment was also conducted in the presence of 1ng/mL recombinant IFNγ given concurrently with TGFβ1, and 24-hours after stimulation, cells were evaluated by western blot. (*p < 0.05).
