Biological target: Berberine chloride induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and inhibits DNA topoisomerase.
In vitro activity: Berberine chloride (BBC) inhibited the proliferation and colony formation of human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In addition, BBC induced DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) through downregulating TOP2B level, leading to apoptosis in human NSCLC cells. Furthermore, BBC decreased Sin3A expression and shortened the half-life of Sin3A, resulting in downregulation of TOP2B in human NSCLC cells. Reference: Cancer Chemother Pharmacol. 2020 Jul;86(1):151-161. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00280-020-04050-y
In vivo activity: A dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced chronic relapsing colitis model was used to assess the ameliorating activity of berberine. The colitis mice were orally administered 20mg/kg berberine from day 13 onward for 30days and monitored daily. Results showed that berberine significantly ameliorated the disease activity index (DAI), colon shortening, colon tissue injury, and reduction of colonic expression of tight junction (TJ) protein ZO-1 and occludin of colitis mice. Notably, berberine treatment pronouncedly reduced DSS-upregulated Th17-related cytokine (IL-17 and ROR-γt) mRNAs in the colon. Furthermore, the mRNA expression of IL-6 and IL-23, and the phosphorylation of STAT3 in colon tissues from DSS-treated mice were pronouncedly inhibited by berberine.
