In vivo studies

Acute Lung Injury (ALI)

2.5–10 mg/kg

–

IL-6, KC, MIP-1α, MIP-2, MCP-1, RANTES

PI3K/AKT, ERK

Delivering RVT by polymeric nanocapsules via the ERK/PI3K/AKT pathways could ameliorate LPS-induced ALI

[49]

Sepsis

30 mg/kg

–

MIP-2, IL-18, IL-10, Caspase-3

PI3K/Nrf2/HO-1

RVT via inhibiting PI3K/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway could inhibit oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell apoptosis to alleviate ALI in septic rats

[50]

Sepsis

60 mg/kg

–

IL-6, IL-1b, TLR4, Capase-3, Bax, Bcl2, NF-kB

PI3K/AKT/mTOR

RVT via inhibiting the NF-kB and activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway could protect the myocardium in sepsis

[51]

Allergic Diseases

10 mg/kg, 10–100 μM

BMMCs, FSMCs, PBMCs

IL-6, IL-13, TNF-α, NF-κB, IKKα/β, p65, P-38, Syk, Gab2

MK2/PI3K/AKT

RVT via the MK2/3–PI3K/AKT axis could inhibit IL-33–mediated mast cell activation

[52]

Osteoarthritis (OA)

45 mg/kg 50 μM

SW1353

TLR4, MyD88, TRIF, IL-1β, NF-κB p65

PI3K/AKT

RVT by inhibiting TLR4 via the activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway could inhibit the development of obesity-related OA

[53]

Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress (CUMS)

40–80 mg/kg

–

TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, Bax, Bcl-2

AKT/GSK-3β

RVT via activating the AKT/GSK-3β pathway could exert a protective effect in CUMS–induced depressive-like behavior

[54]

–

100 mg/kg, 20 μM

293 T

klf5, c-Myc, Cav-1

PI3K/PKD1/AKT

RVT via inhibiting the PI3K/PKD1/AKT pathway could activate klf5 phosphorylation and then attenuate the interaction of klf5 with c-Myc

[55]

–

100 mg/kg 40–100 μM

hPASMC

Arginase I, Arginase II, Caspase-3

PI3K/AKT

RVT via the PI3K/AKT pathway could prevent hypoxia-induced arginase II expression and proliferation of hPASMC

[56]

In vitro studies

Thrombosis and atherosclerosis

1–100 μM

Platelet

PECAM-1, TLR4, STAT3, NF-кB p65, Sirt1

AKT, AMPK

RVT via STAT3 and AKT pathways could suppress TLR4 activation in oxidized low-density lipoprotein-activated platelets

[48]

–

15 μmol/L

BMSCs, P3

MyoD1, Myogenin

SIRT1/AKT/FOXO1

RVT via activating the SIRT1/AKT/FOXO1 pathway could reverse myogenic induction suppression caused by high glucose

[57]

–

20 μM

Chondrocytes

Collagen-II, COX-2, PGE2, JNK, P38

AKT, ERK, MAPK

RVT via the ERK/p38/AKT pathway could regulate the differentiation and inflammation of chondrocytes
