细胞外囊泡的中药药理作用及其与中医“气”的研究进展

Research advances on extracellular vesicles-based regulation by traditional Chinese medicines and the relationship with TCM "Qi"

  • 摘要: 细胞外囊泡(extracellular vesicles, EVs) 是生物体内一类重要的活性微泡结构, EVs包裹并传递功能物质如miRNAs、转录因子、蛋白质等, 是介导细胞通讯和器官对话的重要载体。近年来研究表明, 相当多的中药具有调控EVs的药理作用, 在治疗疾病中发挥独特的跨器官、远程作用; 有些中药本身还含有植物源性EVs, 可直接参与疾病的治疗。“气”是中医学的核心理论之一, 在人体生理病理及中药药理过程中发挥多种重要作用, 但其作用的科学内涵及潜在的物质载体尚不尽清晰。最新研究提示, EVs的作用与“气”的作用有潜在相关性。为此, 本文综述了近年来益气中药调控EVs在治疗心血管疾病、神经系统疾病、肝脏疾病、肾性疾病、恶性肿瘤等疾病中的作用。EVs可能作为中间媒介物质, 在部分中药治疗疾病的药理作用中扮演了重要角色。EVs具有远程输送的特性, 与中医“气”的运动性相符合; EVs携带多种功能性分子, 与“气”的功能性相符合。EVs可能作为中医“气”的潜在物质基础, 其功能值得深入研究。

     

    Abstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are an important type of active microvesicles. EVs encapsulate and transfer functional substances such as miRNAs, transcription factors and proteins, which are important vectors for cell communication and organ dialogue. In recent years, studies have shown that quite a number of Chinese medicinal herbs have the pharmacological effect of regulating EVs, and play a unique trans-organ and remote role in the treatment of diseases. Some Chinese medicinal herbs also contain plant-derived EVs themselves, which can be directly involved in the treatment of diseases. As one of the core theories of raditional Chinese medicines (TCM), Qi plays a variety of important roles in the physiological and pathological processes of human body and pharmacology. However, the scientific connotation of Qi′s role and the potential material carrier are still unclear. The latest research suggests that the effect of EVs is potentially related to that of Qi. Therefore, this paper reviews the effect of Qi nourishing Chinese medicinal herbs in regulating EVs in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, nervous system diseases, liver diseases, renal diseases, malignant tumors and other diseases in recent years. EVs may play an important role in the pharmacological effect of some Chinese medicinal herbs in the treatment of diseases as an intermediary substance. EVs have the characteristics of long-distance transportation, which is consistent with the movement of Qi in TCM. EVs carry a variety of functional molecules, which is consistent with the function of Qi. As the potential material basis of Qi in TCM, the function of EVs is worth further study.
