인삼은 건강에 효과적인 약초라고 알려져 왔다. 인삼의 열매인 진생베리는 인삼의 주성분과 비슷한 ginsenoside, saponin, polyphenol, polyacetylene, alkaloid 등의 성분을 포함한다. 본 연구의 목적은 인삼과 같이 진생베리 열수 추출물(Ginseng berry water extract, GBE)이 당뇨와 연관된 세포 외 효소와 인슐린 신호전달 경로에 있는 분자의 발현에 어떤 효과를 가지고 있는지를 조사하였다. ${\alpha}$-Amylase와 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase는 섭취한 다당분자를 분해하여 포도당을 생성함으로 항당뇨 약물개발의 표적 효소이다. GBE에 의한 두 효소의 활성 억제능을 in vitro에서 측정하였으나 최고 $1,000{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서도 효소활성 억제능이 나타나지 않았다. 인슐린 신호전달 경로의 영향을 확인하기 위해서 HepG2 세포에서 GBE에 의한 인슐린 신호전달 경로의 주요 단백질인 protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B)와 Akt1의 발현수준 변화를 Western blot 방법으로 조사하였다. 이때 인슐린에 의한 이들 분자의 변화에 GBE가 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. PTP1B는 인슐린에 의해 증가된 발현량이 저농도의 GBE이 의해 더욱 증가하였으나, $200{\mu}g/ml$ 농도의 GBE에 의해서는 다소 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, Akt1도 인슐린에 의해 증가된 발현량이 GBE 농도에 따라 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is emerging as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of type-2 diabetes and obesity. To search for new types of PTP1B inhibitors, we have undertaken in vitro enzyme assay for some anthraquinones and stilbenes isolated from plants. Of the anthraquinones tested, physcion (1), 1-O-methylemodin (2), and emodin (3) showed high activities, with $IC_{50}$ values of 7.6, 7.0, and $3.8{\mu}g/mL$, respectively, while the anthraquinone glycosides, physcion-8-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (4) and emodin-8- O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (5), were less active than their aglycones. All the stilbenens (6 - 15) slightly inhibited PTP1B activity at high concentration of $30{\mu}g/mL$. Our findings suggest that the hypoglycemic effect of anthraquinones may be associated with their PTP1B inhibitory activity.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), a negative regulator of insulin signaling, has served as a potential drug target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The MeOH extracts of twenty-nine medicinal plants, traditionally used in Vietnam as anti-diabetes agents, were investigated for PTP1B inhibitory activity in vitro. The results indicated that, most materials showed moderate to strong inhibitory activity with $IC_{50}$ values ranging from $3.4\;{\mu}g/mL$ to $35.1\;{\mu}g/mL$; meanwhile, eleven extracts (37.9%) could demonstrate PTP1B activity with $IC_{50}$ values less than $15.5\;{\mu}g/mL$; sixteen extracts (55.2%) could demonstrate PTP1B activity with $IC_{50}$ values ranging from $15.5\;{\mu}g/mL$ to $35.1\;{\mu}g/mL$. The study may provide a proof, at least in a part, for the ethno-medical use in diabetes disease of these plants.

Background: Ginsenoside compound K (CK) stimulated activation of the PI3K-Akt signaling is one of the major mechanisms in promoting cell survival after stroke. However, the underlying mediators remain poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the docking protein of ginsenoside CK mediating the neuroprotective effects. Materials and methods: Molecular docking, surface plasmon resonance, and cellular thermal shift assay were performed to explore ginsenoside CK interacting proteins. Neuroscreen-1 cells and middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model in rats were utilized as in-vitro and in-vivo models. Results: Ginsenoside CK interacted with recombinant human PTP1B protein and impaired its tyrosine phosphatase activity. Pathway and process enrichment analysis confirmed the involvement of PTP1B and its interacting proteins in PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. PTP1B overexpression reduced the tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) after oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) in neuroscreen-1 cells. These regulations were confirmed in the ipsilateral ischemic hemisphere of the rat brains after MCAO/R. Ginsenoside CK treatment reversed these alterations and attenuated neuronal apoptosis. Conclusion: Ginsenoside CK binds to PTP1B with a high affinity and inhibits PTP1B-mediated IRS1 tyrosine dephosphorylation. This novel mechanism helps explain the role of ginsenoside CK in activating the neuronal protective PI3K-Akt signaling pathway after ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is important in the regulation of metabolic diseases and has emerged as a promising signaling target. Previously, we reported the PTP1B inhibitory activity of Rheum undulatum (RU). In the present study, we investigated the metabolic regulatory effects of RU in a high-fat diet (HFD) model. RU treatment significantly blocked body weight gain, which was accompanied by a reduction of feed efficiency. In addition, it led to a reduction of liver weight mediated by overexpression of PPAR${\alpha}$ and CPT1 in the liver, and an increase in the expression of adiponectin, aP2, and UCP3 in adipose tissue responsible for the reduction of total and LDL-cholesterol levels. Chrysophanol and physcion from RU significantly inhibited PTP1B activity and strongly enhanced insulin sensitivity. Altogether, our findings strongly suggest that 2 compounds are novel PTP1B inhibitors and might be considered as anti-obesity agents that are effective for suppressing body weight gain and improving lipid homeostasis.

In order to search for protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitors as therapy of type 2 diabetes and obesity from Korean traditional prescriptions, we selected 58 traditional prescriptions based on a review of the Korean traditional medicine books. The hot water extracts of Korean traditional prescriptions were screened for the inhibitory activity against PTP1B. Among the tested extracts, water extracts of Jakgamhwangsinbu-tang, Seonbanghwalmyung-eum, and Takreeonjoong-tang showed relatively good inhibitory activity against PTP1B at the concentration of $30{\mu}g/ml$. Additionally, we evaluated PTP1B inhibitory effect for each herbal ingredient and composition in Jakgamhwangsinbu-tang (芍甘黃辛附湯). Of the tested ingredients from this herbal medicine, water extracts of Paeoniae Radix rubra and Rhei Rhizoma, and ethanol extracts of Paeoniae Radix alba, Rhei Rhizoma, Asiasari Radix, and Aconiti Tuber showed good PTP1B inhibitory effect. Herbal compositions composed of these active herbal ingredients exhibited significant activity for PTP1B inhibition over 70% at $7.5{\mu}g/ml$.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate whether type 3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M3R) dysfunction induced vascular hyperpermeability. Transwell system analysis showed that M3R inhibition by selective antagonist 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine methiodide (4-DAMP) and small interfering RNA both increased endothelial permeability. Using coimmunoprecipitation and Western blot assay, we found that M3R inhibition increased VE-cadherin and ${\beta}$-catenin tyrosine phosphorylation without affecting their expression. Using PTP1B siRNA, we found that PTP1B was required for maintaining VE-cadherin and ${\beta}$-catenin protein dephosphorylation. In addition, 4-DAMP suppressed PTP1B activity by reducing cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), but not protein kinase $C{\alpha}$ ($PKC{\alpha}$). These data indicate that M3R preserves the endothelial barrier function through a mechanism potentially maintaining PTP1B activity, keeping the adherens junction proteins (AJPs) dephosphorylation.

Anti-diabetic potential of the leaves of A. elata through the inhibitory activity on PTP1B and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase has not been reported. In this study, the EtOAc fraction of methanolic extract from the leaves of A. elata showed potent inhibitory activity against the PTP1B and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase with $IC_{50}$ value of $96.29{\pm}0.3$ and $264.71{\pm}14.87{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Three known triterpenoids, oleanolic acid, oleanolic acid-28-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside and oleanolic acid-3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside were isolated from the most active EtOAc fraction. We determined the chemical structure of these triterpenoids through comparisons of published nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic data. Furthermore, we screened these triterpenoids for their ability to inhibit PTP1B and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase over a range of concentrations ($12.5-50{\mu}M$). All three terpenoids significantly inhibited PTP1B in a concentration dependent manner and oleanolic acid effectively inhibited ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. In addition, these compounds revealed potent inhibitory activity with negative binding energies toward PTP1B, showing high affinity and tight binding capacity in the molecular docking studies. Therefore, the results of the present study clearly demonstrate that A. elata leaves and its triterpenoid constituents might be beneficial in the prevention or treatment of diabetic disease.
