Although the exact cause of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains elusive, mounting evidence continues to support the involvement of neuroinflammation in the development of AD. Triptolide isolated from the herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F has anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive activities. In this
Triptolide is an active ingredient isolated from an ancient Chinese herb (Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f) for inflammatory and immune disorders. It has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of skeletal muscle; however, mechanisms of this effect remain unclear. We used mouse C2C12 myotubes as an in
BACKGROUND
Subacute combined degeneration (SCD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by vitamin B
12 deficiency. The lesions mainly involve the posterior cord, lateral cord, and peripheral nerves. Occasionally, the lesions also involve brain white matter and optic
Celastrol, a quinine methide triterpene extracted from the perennial vine Tripterygium wilfordii, has been identified as a neuroprotective agent in various models of neurodegenerative disorders. We have reported earlier that systemic and intravitreal administration of celastrol stimulate the
The combined administration between Radix Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F (LGT) and Herba Lysimachia christinae Hance (JQC) belongs to mutual detoxication compatibility of seven emotions in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory. However, until now, the compatibility detoxication mechanisms remain
The RA mixture is composed of Tripterygium Wilfordii (TW) and other Chinese medicinal herbs with effect of expelling Wind, activiting blood circulation, invigorating the Kidney and Qi. The authors treated rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with RA mixture and compared it with D-penicillamine as
OBJECTIVE
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a progressive neuromuscular disease. Since disease severity is related to the amount of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein, up-regulated functional SMN protein levels from the SMN2 gene are considered a major SMA drug-discovery strategy. In this study, we
OBJECTIVE
To observe the influence of moxibustion of "Shenshu"(BL 23) and "Zusanli" (ST 36) on the microstructure of synovial cells in the knee-joint in rheumatoidarthritis (RA) rats so as to study its underlying mechanism in anti-inflammatory immune effect.
METHODS
A total of 120 Wistar rats were
Activation of microglia is a critical pathological marker of Parkinson's disease. Activated microglia produces proinflammatory and neurotoxic factors, which cause neurons to induce neurodegeneration. Although it is believed that Chinese herbs, such as Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, can ease
It has been reported recently that the immunosuppressant FK506 produced neurotrophic and neuroprotective effects on dopaminergic neurons in vitro and in vivo. We investigated whether tripchlorolide, an immunosuppressive extract of Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F, could exert similar
OBJECTIVE
To study the short- and long-term effects of multi-glycosides of tripterygium wilfordii (GTWon) the histological structures of testes in pubertal rats and possible mechanisms.
METHODS
Forty-eight 5-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly intragastrically administered with low-does
OBJECTIVE
Tripterygium wilfordii multiglycoside (GTW), an authorized Chinese patent drug, is used for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other immune disease. This study was to determine whether GTW induced different toxic reactions in adjuvant arthritis rats (AA rats) compared to those in normal
Recent studies indicate that beta-amyloid (Abeta) is the key factor to cause neuronal degeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the present study, we set up an Abeta induced PC12 cell damage modle and studied the protective effect and related mechanisms of T(10), monomer extracted from Chinese
The Tripterygium glycosides (TG) is the main active extractive of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F and is widely used in clinical practice to treat inflammatory diseases (including inflammatory bowel disease). However, due to its severe toxicity, TG is restricted to the treatment of many OBJECTIVE
To investigate the appropriate concentration of tripterygium wilfordii and immunological rejection of rats' sciatic nerve allograft with the tripterygium wilfordii's pretreatment so as to explore tripterygium wilfordii's suppression.
METHODS
Sixty SD rats (male, weighing 270-290 g), as
