Ginsenoside Rg5 is an IGF-1R-angiogenic agent. Ginsenoside Rg5 exhibits angiogenic activity, which can be reduced by IGF-1R knockdown. Docking analysis was used to investigate the potential interaction of ginsenoside Rg5 with IGF-1R. The docking results indicated that ginsenoside Rg5 may interact with IGF-1R, and docking analysis was carried out. Rg5 binds to the cysteine-docking domain of IGF-1R at two locations, A and B, with Kd values of 20 and 27 nM, respectively. Using Rg5 as a transferable label for IGF-1 and HUVEC, the IC50 value was ~90 μM, which was higher than the IC50 value of ~1.4 nM for unlabeled IGF-1 [1]. The MTT assay results revealed that after 24, 48, and 72 hours of treatment with ginsenoside Rg5, dose-related parameters influenced MCF-7 cell growth. Various concentrations (0, 25, 50, and 100 μM) of ginsenoside Rg5 influenced MCF-7 cell cycle-related cosmetics. The induced cell cycle appears to be in the G0/G1 phase [3].

Ginsenoside Rg5 stimulates human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, with 20 μM Rg5 showing stronger activity than 10 ng/mL VEGF. It promotes HUVEC chemotactic migration and tube formation on Matrigel. Rg5 increases phosphorylation of ERK, Akt, eNOS, Src, FAK, and paxillin in a time-dependent manner. It elevates intracellular NO and cGMP levels, which are inhibited by L-NAME (NOS inhibitor) and IGF-1R knockdown. Rg5 enhances eNOS dimerization and Ca²⁺ mobilization via Gi protein and PLC-γ1 pathways. It does not increase VEGF mRNA expression, promoter activity, or vascular inflammation markers (ICAM-1, VCAM-1). Rg5 does not promote monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells or increase endothelial permeability. [1] |
| ln Vivo |
By blocking NF-κB p65's ability to bind DNA in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation in BV2 astrocytes, ginsenoside Rg5 suppresses the mRNA expression of COX-2. COX-2 and NF-κB p65 expression in the Rg5 model group. Acute cellular respiration occurred and renal tubular injury was evident in the group treated with low-dose ginsenoside Rg5 (10 mg/kg). Nevertheless, while appearing to have histologically normal renal tubules, no inflammation or cast formation was seen in the renal tissue in another group of ginsenoside Rg5 (20 mg/kg) [2].
Ginsenoside Rg5 promotes neovascularization in a Matrigel plug assay in mice, with increased hemoglobin content indicating blood vessel formation. It enhances vessel sprouting in ex vivo rat aortic ring assays. In a mouse hind limb ischemia model, Rg5 improves blood flow recovery and increases capillary density in ischemic muscle. Rg5 induces vasorelaxation in aortic rings from wild-type and high-cholesterol-fed ApoE⁻/⁻ mice, but not in eNOS⁻/⁻ mice. It does not increase vascular permeability in a Miles assay. [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
IGF-1 binding assay: HUVECs were pretreated with Rg5 (10⁻⁷–5×10⁻² M) for 20 min, followed by incubation with ¹²⁵I-labeled IGF-1 for 10 min. Cell-bound radioactivity was measured by scintillation counting. Rg5 inhibited IGF-1 binding with an IC₅₀ of ~90 nmol/L. [1]
Molecular docking simulation: Blind docking of Rg5 to IGF-1R (PDB: 11GR) was performed using Autodock 4.2 with a Lamarckian genetic algorithm. The grid box covered the entire IGF-1R molecule, and 50 million energy evaluations were performed. Binding sites and interactions were visualized using Chimera software. [1] |
| Cell Assay |
Cell proliferation: HUVECs were treated with Rg5 or VEGF for 30 h, then pulsed with ³H-thymidine for 6 h. Incorporated radioactivity was measured by scintillation counting.
Cell migration: HUVECs were placed in Transwell inserts coated with gelatin. Rg5 or VEGF was added to the lower chamber. After 4 h, migrated cells were stained and counted. Tube formation: HUVECs were plated on growth factor-reduced Matrigel and treated with Rg5 or VEGF. Tube networks were imaged and quantified after 20 h. NO measurement: HUVECs were loaded with DAF-FM diacetate, treated with Rg5 ± L-NAME, and fluorescence was measured by confocal microscopy. Ca²⁺ measurement: HUVECs were loaded with Fluo-4 AM, treated with Rg5 ± inhibitors, and Ca²⁺ flux was monitored by confocal microscopy. Western blot and immunoprecipitation: Phosphorylation of signaling proteins and eNOS dimerization were analyzed using specific antibodies and low-temperature SDS-PAGE. VEGF expression: VEGF mRNA was measured by RT-PCR, and promoter activity was assessed using a luciferase reporter assay. [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
Matrigel plug assay: C57BL/6 mice were injected subcutaneously with 400 μL Matrigel containing 200 nmol Rg5 or 100 ng VEGF. After 7 days, plugs were excised and hemoglobin content was measured.
Hind limb ischemia model: C57BL/6 mice underwent femoral artery ligation, followed by intramuscular injection of Rg5 (300 μmol/100 μL per mouse). Blood flow was monitored by laser-Doppler perfusion imaging at days 7, 14, and 21. Aortic ring vasorelaxation assay: Thoracic aortas from mice were cut into rings and mounted in a myograph system. Rings were preconstricted with U46619 or phenylephrine, then treated with Rg5 or acetylcholine. Relaxation responses were recorded. Miles permeability assay: Evans blue dye was injected intravenously into mice, followed by intradermal injection of Rg5 or VEGF. Dye leakage in skin was quantified spectrophotometrically. [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
Ginsenoside Rg5 is a triterpenoid saponin with the function of a metabolite. It has been reported that ginsenoside Rg5 exists in Panax notoginseng and Centella asiatica, and there are related data reports. Ginsenoside Rg5 is a saponin synthesized during the steaming process of ginseng. It is a novel non-biological IGF-1R agonist that can promote angiogenesis and vasodilation without the adverse reactions associated with VEGF therapy. Its mechanism of action involves multiple signaling pathways: PI3K/Akt/eNOS, MEK/ERK, Src/FAK/paxillin and Gi/PLC/Ca²⁺/eNOS dimerization. It may have the potential to treat ischemic vascular disease and hypertension. [1]
