Herein, we investigated whether berberine delayed the progression of castrate-resistant prostate cancer by reducing androgen synthesis through the inhibition of Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3. Cell viability and cellular testosterone content were measured in prostate cancer cells. Aido-keto reductase family 1 member C3 mRNA and protein level were detected by RT-PCR and Western bolt analyses, respectively. Computer analysis with AutoDock Tools explored the molecular interaction of berberine with Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3. We found that berberine inhibited 22Rvl cells proliferation and decreased cellular testosterone formation in a dose-dependent manner. Berberine inhibited Aldo-keto reductase family I member C3 enzyme activity, rather than influenced mRNA and protein expressions. Molecular docking study demonstrated that berberine could enter the active center of Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 and form π-π interaction with the amino-acid residue Phe306 and Phe311. In conclusion, the structural interaction of berberine with Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 is attributed to the suppression of Aldo-keto reductase family I member C3 enzyme activity and the inhibition of 22Rvl prostate cancer cell growth by decreasing the intfacellular androgen synthesis. Our result provides the experimental basis for the design, research, and development of AKRlC3 inhibitors using berberine as the lead compound.展开更多

Methods A total of 209 diabetic patients without any antihyperglycemic history were recruited and treated with repaglinide or rosiglitazone randomly for 48 weeks （104 and 105 patients, respectively）. Anthropometric measurements and clinical laboratory tests were carried out before and after the treatment. An non-synonymous variant rs13266634 was genotyped by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectroscopy. Results Ninety-one patients in repaglinide group and ninety-three patients in rosiglitazone group completed the study. 6 value of homeostasis model assessment of beta cell function （HOMA-B） and 6 value of fasting proinsulin levels were statistically significant between three genotype groups （P=0.0149 and 0.0246, respectively） after rosiglitazone treatment. However, no genotype association was observed in the repaglinide or rosiglitazone group with other parameters. Conclusion The SLC3OA8 variant was associated with the efficacy of insulin sensitizer monotherapy on insulin secretion in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus in Shanghai, China.展开更多
