[Regulatory effect of ginsenoside Rh2 on HDAC1/2 activity and cyclin in human erythroleukemia K562 cells].[Pubmed: 25270209]

Xi Bao Yu Fen Zi Mian Yi Xue Za Zhi. 2014 Oct;30(10):1062-6.

To investigate the effects of the 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 [Rh2(S)]on cell proliferation, histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) and HDAC2 activity, and expression of cyclin in human erythroleukemia K562 cells.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
The proliferation of K562 cells was inhibited by 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 (20-80 μmol/L) in dose-and time-dependent manner. FCM analyses revealed that the number of the K562 cells treated with 60 μmol/L 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 was arrested in G0/G1 phase. The apoptosis rates of K562 cells were respectively (8.09±0.86)%, (9.44±0.53)% and (22.80±2.16)% after induced by 20, 40, 60 μmol/L 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2, which showed statistically significant difference (P<0.05) compared with the control group (2.63±0.14)%. HDAC activity of the cells treated with 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 (40, 60 μmol/L) was reduced. Western blotting showed that the expressions of HDAC1, HDAC2, cyclin D1 and CDK4 decreased after induced by 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2, and p16INK4A, p21 proteins were enhanced significantly.
CONCLUSIONS:
The 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 can inhibit the proliferation of K562 cells and induce its cycle arrest and apoptosis through inhibiting HDAC1 and HDAC2 activity, down-regulating the expression of cyclin D1 and activating p16INK4A and p21.

20S-Ginsenoside Rh2 induces apoptosis in human Leukaemia Reh cells through mitochondrial signaling pathways.[Pubmed: 24492721]

Biol Pharm Bull. 2014;37(2):248-54.

20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 (GRh2) and ginsenoside Rg3 (GRg3) are members of the protopanaxadiol family and have been investigated for possible chemopreventive activity. This study explored the biological and apoptotic mechanisms induced by 20(S)-GRh2 in human acute leukaemia line-Reh cells.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Reh cells were treated with different concentration of 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 in vitro. Cell viability was determined by Cell Counting Kit-8 and Annexin V/7-AAD assays. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was examined through JC-1 staining. Activation of caspases associated with the mitochondria-mediated apoptosis pathway was determined by Western blot. We observed that survival of Reh cells decreased after exposure to 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover,20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 can induce mitochondria depolarization of Reh cells as evident in the shift in JC-1 fluorescence from red to green. In addition, 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 induced the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c and activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3 in Reh cells.
CONCLUSIONS:
These results indicate that 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 could induce apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway, demonstrating its potential as a chemotherapeutic agent for leukaemia therapy.

20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 as aldose reductase inhibitor from Panax ginseng.[Pubmed: 25152999]

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2014 Sep 15;24(18):4407-9.

The root of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer (Araliaceae) is a well-known herbal medicine in East Asia. The major bioactive metabolites in this root are commonly identified as ginsenosides.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
A series of ginsenosides were determined for in vitro human recombinant aldose reductase. This Letter aims to clarify the structural requirement for aldose reductase inhibition. We discovered that only 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 showed potent against aldose reductase, with an IC50 of 147.3 μM.
CONCLUSIONS:
These results implied that the stereochemistry of the hydroxyl group at C-20 may play an important role in aldose reductase inhibition. An understanding of these requirements is considered necessary in order to develop a new type of aldose reductase inhibitor. Furthermore, P. ginseng might be an important herbal medicine in preventing diabetic complications.

Pharmacokinetic interactions between 20(S)-ginsenoside Rh2 and the HIV protease inhibitor ritonavir in vitro and in vivo.[Pubmed: 23892274]

Acta Pharmacol Sin. 2013 Oct;34(10):1349-58.

20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 (Rh2) has shown potent inhibition on P-glycoprotein (P-gp), while most HIV protease inhibitors are both substrates and inhibitors of P-gp and CYP3A4. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential pharmacokinetic interactions between Rh2 and the HIV protease inhibitor ritonavir.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 (10 μmol/L) significantly increased the accumulation and inhibited the efflux of ritonavir in Caco-2 and MDCK-MDR1 cells, as verapamil did. But 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 did not significantly alter ritonavir accumulation or transport in MDCK-WT cells. Intravenous 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 significantly increased the plasma exposure of ritonavir while reducing its excretion in the bile, and oral verapamil or GF120918 also increased plasma exposure of ritonavir but without changing its excretion in the bile. Interestingly, oral 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 at both doses did not significantly change the plasma profile of ritonavir. Moreover, oral 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 (25 mg/kg) significantly elevated the ritonavir concentration in the hepatic portal vein, and markedly increased its urinary excretion and tissue distribution, which might counteract the elevated absorption of ritonavir.
CONCLUSIONS:
20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 inhibits the efflux of ritonavir through P-gp in vitro. The effects of 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 on ritonavir exposure in vivo depend on the administration route of 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2: intravenous, but not oral, administration of 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 significantly increased the plasma exposure of ritonavir.

Background on 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2

Ginsenoside Rh2 is isolated from the root of Ginseng. Ginsenoside Rh2 induces the activation of caspase-8 and caspase-9. Ginsenoside Rh2 induces cancer cell apoptosis in a multi-path manner.

In Vitro:Ginsenoside Rh2 induces the activation of two initiator caspases, caspase-8 and caspase-9 in human cancer cells. Ginsenoside Rh2 induces cancer cell apoptosis in a multi-path manner and is therefore a promising candidate for anti-tumor drug development. Ginsenoside Rh2 triggers p53-dependent Fas expression and consequent activation of caspase-8 and p53-independent caspase-9-mediated intrinsic pathway to cause cancer cell death.The cytotoxic activity of Ginsenoside Rh2 in the human tumor cell lines HeLa, SK-HEP-1, SW480, and PC-3 is assessed by MTT. The cell viability of HeLa cells is remarkably inhibited by Ginsenoside Rh2, with an IC50 value of 2.52 μg/mL, whereas SK-HEP-1 and SW480 cells are less sensitive to Ginsenoside Rh2, with IC50 values of 3.15 μg/mL and 4.06 μg/mL, respectively. PC-3 cells are the least vulnerable to Ginsenoside Rh2, with an IC50 value of 7.85 μg/mL, 3-fold higher than HeLa cells[1].

In Vivo:A total of 15 days following B16-F10 cell injection, tumor sizes from the 3 tumor bearing groups are measured. The tumor sizes in the G-L group and G-H group (G-L and G-H refer to a low or high dose of ginsenoside Rh2 injection) are reduced compared with the tumor group (P<0.05). The survival analysis reveals that the Ginsenoside Rh2 treated groups survive longer than the untreated tumor group and the effect is dose-dependent (P<0.05)[2].

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of the 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 [Rh2(S)]on cell proliferation, histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) and HDAC2 activity, and expression of cyclin in human erythroleukemia K562 cells. METHODS: The K562 cells were treated with Rh2(S) at various concentrations (10-80 mumol/L). Cell proliferation activity was detected by CCK-8 assay. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to detect cell cycle and apoptotic changes. The HDAC activity of cells was measured by chemical colorimetry. The protein expressions of HDAC1, HDAC2, cyclin D1, CDK4, p16INK4A and p21 after 48 hour-treatment of Rh2 (S) (10, 20, 40, 60 mumol/L) were examined by Western blotting. RESULTS: The proliferation of K562 cells was inhibited by Rh2 (S) (20-80 mumol/L) in dose-and time-dependent manner. FCM analyses revealed that the number of the K562 cells treated with 60 mumol/L Rh2(S) was arrested in G0/G1 phase. The apoptosis rates of K562 cells were respectively (8.09+/-0.86)%, (9.44+/-0.53)% and (22.80+/-2.16)% after induced by 20, 40, 60 mumol/L Rh2(S), which showed statistically significant difference (P<0.05) compared with the control group (2.63+/-0.14)%. HDAC activity of the cells treated with Rh2(S) (40, 60 mumol/L) was reduced. Western blotting showed that the expressions of HDAC1, HDAC2, cyclin D1 and CDK4 decreased after induced by Rh2(S), and p16INK4A, p21 proteins were enhanced significantly. CONCLUSION: The Rh2(S) can inhibit the proliferation of K562 cells and induce its cycle arrest and apoptosis through inhibiting HDAC1 and HDAC2 activity, down-regulating the expression of cyclin D1 and activating p16INK4A and p21.

Pharmacokinetic interactions between 20(S)-ginsenoside Rh2 and the HIV protease inhibitor ritonavir in vitro and in vivo.[Pubmed:23892274]

Acta Pharmacol Sin. 2013 Oct;34(10):1349-58.

AIM: 20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 (Rh2) has shown potent inhibition on P-glycoprotein (P-gp), while most HIV protease inhibitors are both substrates and inhibitors of P-gp and CYP3A4. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential pharmacokinetic interactions between Rh2 and the HIV protease inhibitor ritonavir. METHODS: The effects of Rh2 on the cellular accumulation and transepithelial transport of ritonavir were studied in Caco-2 and MDCK-MDR1 cells. Male rats were administered Rh2 (25 or 60 mg/kg, po) or Rh2 (5 mg/kg, iv), followed by ritonavir (25 mg/kg, po). The P-gp inhibitors verapamil (20 mg/kg, po) or GF120918 (5 mg/kg, po) were used as positive controls. The concentrations of ritonavir in plasma, bile, urine, feces and tissue homogenates were analyzed using LC-MS. RESULTS: Rh2 (10 mumol/L) significantly increased the accumulation and inhibited the efflux of ritonavir in Caco-2 and MDCK-MDR1 cells, as verapamil did. But Rh2 did not significantly alter ritonavir accumulation or transport in MDCK-WT cells. Intravenous Rh2 significantly increased the plasma exposure of ritonavir while reducing its excretion in the bile, and oral verapamil or GF120918 also increased plasma exposure of ritonavir but without changing its excretion in the bile. Interestingly, oral Rh2 at both doses did not significantly change the plasma profile of ritonavir. Moreover, oral Rh2 (25 mg/kg) significantly elevated the ritonavir concentration in the hepatic portal vein, and markedly increased its urinary excretion and tissue distribution, which might counteract the elevated absorption of ritonavir. CONCLUSION: Rh2 inhibits the efflux of ritonavir through P-gp in vitro. The effects of Rh2 on ritonavir exposure in vivo depend on the administration route of Rh2: intravenous, but not oral, administration of Rh2 significantly increased the plasma exposure of ritonavir.
