Abstract | Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects play crucial roles in the recovery of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Wenshenqianlie (WSQL) capsule, a typical traditional Chinese medicine formulation combining 14 Chinese herbs, has been reported to exert tonic effects on the kidneys and improve clinical symptoms of BPH. However, its potential antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties and effects on the improvement of hormone levels have not been reported in depth. In this study, mice were subcutaneously injected with TP (5 mg/kg·d-1) to induce BPH. Forty-eight adult BALB/c male mice were randomly allocated to six groups based on the type of drug administered by gavage: control, BPH, BPH+WSQL (40 and 80 mg/kg·d-1), BPH+finasteride (1 mg/kg·d-1), and WSQL-only treated (80 mg/kg·d-1). We investigated the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect and mechanism of WSQL on BPH via histopathological examination, immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and western blotting combined with in vivo serum metabolomics, gut microbiomics analysis. WSQL alleviated prostate hyperplasia and reduced prostate-specific antigen, dihydrotestosterone, testosterone, and inflammation levels. Gut microbiomics and serum non-targeted metabolomics determined that the protective effect of WSQL against BPH may be related to the improvement of inflammation and testosterone-related gut microbiota and serum metabolites. Further studies showed that WSQL ameliorated nuclear factor-kappa B, its downstream inflammatory factors, and nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 pathway. |
