Assessment of the Effects of Structural Modification of Gastrodia elata Polysaccharide on Anti-Breast Cancer Activity Using Asymmetrical Flow Field-Flow Fractionation.

Summary

In this study, researchers investigated different modifications of a polysaccharide derived from the "Tian Ma" plant used in traditional Chinese medicine to enhance its anti-breast cancer activity. By analyzing the physicochemical properties and structure of the modified polysaccharides, they found that the modifications improved solubility and anti-breast cancer activity while decreasing the size of the polysaccharides. They also discovered that one of the modifications allowed for better uptake of the polysaccharide by breast cancer cells. These findings suggest that structural modifications can enhance the therapeutic potential of polysaccharides and provide a starting point for further research in this area.

Fresh Gastrodia elata Blume alleviates simulated weightlessness-induced cognitive impairment by regulating inflammatory and apoptosis-related pathways.

Summary

Blume, a traditional medicinal plant, has been used to treat neurological diseases due to its neuroprotective effect. To study its effect on cognition impaired by simulated weightlessness, mice subjected to hindlimb unloading were given fresh Blume orally. Behavioral tests showed significant improvement in short- and long-term spatial memory, while biochemical tests demonstrated a reduction in oxidative stress levels and maintenance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factor balance in the hippocampus. Fresh Blume also corrected abnormal changes in synapse- and glutamate neurotransmitter-related protein. These results suggest a potential application of fresh Blume in the prevention of cognitive impairment in space.

Protective effect of Gastrodia elata Blume in a Caenorhabditis elegans model of Alzheimer's disease based on network pharmacology.

Summary

Researchers used network pharmacology to study the potential protective effect of Blume against Alzheimer's disease. They identified key targets of Blume and conducted protein-protein interaction and molecular docking analyses, finding that the components 4,4'-dihydroxydiphenyl methane and protocatechuic aldehyde were most strongly associated with AD, along with five core targets including GAPDH, EP300, HSP90AB1, KDM6B, and CREBBP. Both components were found to delay paralysis and inhibit aggregation of Aβ plaques in a model, with DM upregulating the expression of KDM6B and both components upregulating HSP90AB1. These results suggest that DM and PA may be potential active components of Blume in the treatment of AD.

Gastrodin and Gastrodigenin Improve Energy Metabolism Disorders and Mitochondrial Dysfunction to Antagonize Vascular Dementia.

Summary

This study explored the effects of two bioactive components of a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, GEB, on cognitive dysfunction in vascular dementia. The effectiveness of Gastrodin and Gastrodigenin was tested using various methods, including a water maze test and immunohistochemistry. The study showed that these components attenuated learning memory dysfunction and neuronal damage, reduced protein accumulation in the brain tissue and improved energy metabolism disorders in rats. This suggests that these components may provide neuroprotective effects by regulating energy metabolism and mitochondrial function in vascular dementia.

Gastrodin Improves Cognitive Dysfunction in REM Sleep-Deprived Rats by Regulating TLR4/NF-κB and Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathways.

Summary

Gastrodin, previously shown to improve cerebral ischemia-reperfusion and hypoperfusion injury and cognitive deficit in Alzheimer's disease, was administered orally to rats for 7 days to examine its effects on REM sleep deprivation. Results showed that gastrodin improved sleep disturbance, cognitive deficits, and neuron damage in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex. It did so by regulating the TLR4/NF-κB and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways. Gastrodin shows potential as a treatment for REM sleep deprivation.

Anti-depressive-like and cognitive impairment alleviation effects of Gastrodia elata Blume water extract is related to gut microbiome remodeling in ApoE(-/-) mice exposed to unpredictable chronic mild stress.

Summary

Gastrodia elata Blume (GE) is a traditional Chinese treatment for neurological disorders. Recent tests with a water extract of GE showed it can reduce inflammation and enhance social behavior in mice. But, it wasn't known if the extract could also alleviate depression-like symptoms and cognitive issues in mice with gut microbiome problems.

Glial Nrf2 signaling mediates the neuroprotection exerted by Gastrodia elata Blume in Lrrk2-G2019S Parkinson's disease.

Summary

Researchers studied the effect of water extracts from the herbal medicine Blume (GE) on G2019S-induced Parkinson's disease (PD) in flies and mice. The study found that treatment with GE improved locomotion and protected dopaminergic neurons. GE suppressed the hyperactivation of G2019S proteins in dopaminergic neurons and activated the antioxidation and detoxification factor Nrf2 mainly in astrocyte-like and ensheathing glia. This glial activation antagonized G2019S-induced Mad/Smad signaling and prevented locomotion defects and neuronal loss in transgenic mice. These findings may offer a potential therapeutic avenue for PD.

Gastrodia elata Blume (Tianma): Hope for Brain Aging and Dementia.

Summary

Physician-scientists are searching for new ways to treat aging-related diseases like dementia. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may provide a promising approach. One TCM, Blume (tianma), has been studied for treating cerebrocardiovascular diseases (CCVDs) like Alzheimer's disease (AD). Studies examined its potential efficacy and safety in well-characterized aging-related disease models, with positive results. Other related herbal preparations and natural products have also shown potential in treating CCVDs and dementia. Overall, data suggest that tianma treatment could be a promising complementary therapy for AD.

A Review on Central Nervous System Effects of Gastrodin.

Summary

Gastrodin, a compound found in the Chinese herb , has been traditionally used for treating various disorders. Recent studies have investigated its effects on the central nervous system (CNS) and found that it has beneficial effects on diseases such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease through several mechanisms. These mechanisms include modulating neurotransmitters, antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects, and regulating neurotrophins. Despite the promising preclinical data, more clinical studies are needed to determine its effectiveness in treating neurological disorders.
