Wang Y, Wu Y, Peng S. Resveratrol inhibits the inflammatory response and oxidative stress induced by uterine ischemia reperfusion injury by activating PI3K-AKT pathway. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0266961. [PMID: 35749345 PMCID: PMC9231784 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0266961] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2021] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Uterus transplantation is a complex surgical procedure. Uterine ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury that occurs during this process may cause a loss of function of the uterus and the failure of transplantation. Resveratrol (RSV) is a naturally occurring polyphenol found abundantly in the skin of grapes and red wine, and it has also been used as a dietary supplement in clinical practice. RSV possesses strong anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects, and exhibits a role in immune system regulation. However, the role of RSV in protecting the uterus against I/R-induced injury is yet to be fully elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms underlying RSV in I/R-induced uterus injury. A total of 48 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: Control (sham operation) group, the uterus I/R group, the 20 mg/kg RSV-pre-treated I/R (I/R+RSV/20) group and the 40 mg/kg RSV-pre-treated I/R (I/R+ RSV/40) group. A regular I/R model was established to induce uterus injury in rats. RSV at 20 or 40 mg/kg was intraperitoneally administrated into rats in both I/R+ RSV groups once per day for five consecutive days prior to ischemia. The control and I/R only groups received an intraperitoneal injection of the vehicle (ethanol) for the same period prior to ischemia. Samples from blood and uterine horns were collected 3 h after reperfusion. Changes in the levels of malondialdehyde, interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-10 and IL-37 were determined using ELISA, the activity levels of myeloperoxidase, catalase, and superoxidase dismutase were also determined using ELISA, the protein expression levels of PI3K, phosphorylated (p)-PI3K, AKT and p-AKT were determined using western blot analysis, and the uterine histology was investigated using H&E staining. Results of the present study demonstrated that treatment with RSV increased the capacity of antioxidants and suppressed uterine oxidative injury induced by I/R. Moreover, treatment with RSV decreased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increased the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, RSV promoted the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT, thus activating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway. Therefore, administration of RSV prior to uterine I/R effectively alleviated inflammatory response and oxidative stress via activation of the PI3K-AKT pathway, suggesting that RSV may play a protective role in I/R-induced uterus injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic kidney disease is a major cause of global end-stage renal diseases. Ectopic lipid deposition in the renal tissues of diabetic kidney disease is one major factor leading to renal fibrosis and chronic kidney disease. Pterostilbene has been reported to display lipid-lowing activity and participate in many kidney diseases. However, the influence of pterostilbene on the ectopic lipid deposition is unclear. We intend to explore the influence of pterostilbene on the ectopic lipid deposition in the kidney of mice induced by high fat. METHODS A high-fat diet-induced diabetic mouse model was established to detect the alleviative effect of pterostilbene on the ectopic lipid deposition in the kidney of diabetic mice. Biochemical analysis was performed to examine the level of urine albumin, urine creatinine, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen in mice after pterostilbene treatment. Histological analysis was conducted to detect the degree of renal injury and fibrosis. Oil red O staining and immunohistochemical staining were carried out to evaluate lipid droplets and the expression of adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) in renal tissues of the mice treated by pterostilbene. The protein levels were assessed by western blotting. RESULTS Pterostilbene inhibits the expression of the TGF-β1 and p-smad3 and suppresses the protein levels of SREBP-1 and FAS, and ultimately reduces the ectopic lipid deposition and alleviates the renal tubular damage and renal fibrosis in the kidneys of diabetic mice induced by high fat, and improved kidney function. CONCLUSION Pterostilbene alleviates renal fibrosis and ectopic lipid deposition in the kidneys of diabetic mice induced by high fat diet by inhibiting the TGF-β1/smad3 signaling.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that lacks a cure. The use of plant-derived antioxidant molecules such as those contained in turmeric powder and resveratrol may produce short-term anticonvulsant effects. A total of 42 three-month-old male Wistar rats were divided into six groups (n = 7 in each group): Vehicle (purified water), turmeric (150 and 300 mg/kg, respectively), and resveratrol (30 and 60 mg/kg, respectively), administered per os (p.o.) every 24 h for 35 days. Carbamazepine (300 mg/kg/5 days) was used as a pharmacological control for anticonvulsant activity. At the end of the treatment, status epilepticus was induced using the lithium-pilocarpine model [3 mEq/kg, intraperitoneally (i.p.) and 30 mg/kg subcutaneously (s.c.), respectively]. Seizures were evaluated using the Racine scale. The 300 mg/kg of turmeric and 60 mg/kg of resveratrol groups had an increased latency to the first generalized seizure. The groups treated with 150 and 300 mg/kg of turmeric and 60 mg/kg of resveratrol also had an increased latency to status epilepticus and a decreased number of generalized seizures compared to the vehicle group. The chronic administration of turmeric and resveratrol exerts anticonvulsant effects without producing kidney or liver damage. This suggests that both of these natural products of plant origin could work as adjuvants in the treatment of epilepsy.

Abstract
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a severe eye disease leading to blindness. Abnormal vessel formation is the pathological hallmark of neovascular ROP. In forming vessels, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important stimulator. The current anti-ROP therapy has focused on bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody against VEGF, and pazopanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor on the VEGF receptor (VEGFR). Several lines of evidence have proposed that natural compounds may be more effective and safer for anti-VEGF function. Resveratrol, a common natural compound, binds to VEGF and blocks its interaction with VEGFR, thereafter suppressing angiogenesis. Here, we evaluate the efficacy of intravitreal injection, or topical instillation (eye drops), of resveratrol into the eyes of mice suffering from oxygen-induced retinopathy, i.e., developing ROP. The treatment of resveratrol significantly relieved the degree of vascular distortion, permeability and hyperplasia; the efficacy could be revealed by both methods of resveratrol application. In parallel, the treatments of resveratrol inhibited the retinal expressions of VEGF, VEGFR and CD31. Moreover, the applied resveratrol significantly relieved the damage caused by oxygen radicals through upregulating the level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and downregulating the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the retina. Taken together, the potential therapeutic benefit of resveratrol in pro-angiogenic diseases, including retinopathy, can be considered.

Abstract
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) alters metabolic signals frequently, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, such as increase of glycolysis and accumulation of lipid. Sirtuin3 (SIRT3) is a key factor for the regulation of both mitochondrial integrity and function. SIRT3 is downregulated and contributes in both cancer development and progression in ccRCC. The aim of this study is to investigate SIRT3-regulated mitochondrial biogenesis in ccRCC. SIRT3 overexpression alone reduced glucose uptake rate and enhanced membrane potential in mitochondria. ccRCC with overexpressed SIRT3 further improved the lethal effects when combined with anticancer drugs (Resveratrol, Everolimus and Temsirolimus). Cell viability was markedly decreased in a dose-dependent manner when treated with resveratrol or mTOR inhibitors in SIRT3 overexpressing ccRCC. In conclusion, SIRT3 improved mitochondrial functions in ccRCC through metabolic reprogramming. Mitochondrial reprogramming by SIRT3 regulation improves the sensitivity to anticancer drugs. The combination of SIRT3 and resveratrol functioned synergistically lethal effect in ccRCC.

Abstract
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) has become a prevalent and increasingly serious problem globally and resveratrol (Res) is a natural antitoxin that inhibits arterial thrombosis. To investigate the effect of Res on DVT and further explore its mechanism, thrombosis was monitored at different time points and the pathological changes occurring in the inferior vena cava (IVC) and lung tissue were observed in Sprague-Dawley rats. The protein expression of HIF-1α and NLRP3 in the IVC and lung tissue and the concentrations of D-dimer (D2D), prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (F1 + 2), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), caspase-1, and tissue factor (TF) in the plasma were determined. After setting different doses of Res groups and using low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) as a positive control to determine the effective experimental dose of Res, rats were further divided into sham, DVT, HIF-1α inhibitor, Res, and HIF-1α inhibitor + Res groups. The above indicators were tested repeatedly. The DVT was formed on the 1st day of modeling. With the extension of time, DVT was gradually institutionalized and finally recanalized. Lesions in the IVC and lung tissue were effectively ameliorated, and thrombosis was significantly decreased in the LMWH or 60 mg/kg Res-treated groups. The levels of D2D, F1 + 2, IL-1β, caspase-1, TF, and the expression of HIF-1α and NLRP3 were significantly reduced in the HIF-1α inhibitor, Res, and HIF-1α inhibitor + Res groups. Res can ameliorate DVT in rats by inhibiting HIF-1α/NLRP3 pathway, which provides a novel therapeutic strategy for DVT treatment.

Abstract
Background Children and adult with sickle cell disease (SCD) display priapism associated with low nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability and oxidative stress in penis. Aim This study aimed to evaluate the effects of hybrid compound RVT-FxMe, derived from resveratrol bearing a NO-donor subunit, on two murine model that display priapism phenotype, SCD transgenic mice and endothelial NO synthase gene-deficient (eNOS-/-) mice. Methods Wild-type, SCD, and eNOS-/- mice were treated with RVT-FxMe (25 mg/kg/d, 2 weeks). Outcomes Hematological parameters, concentration-response curves to acetylcholine (ACh) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP), as well as to electrical field stimulation (EFS), were obtained in mice corpus cavernosum strips. Results Corpus cavernosum relaxations to SNP and EFS were increased in eNOS-/- group, which were normalized by RVT-FxMe treatment. SCD mice exhibited an excessive CC relaxant response induced by ACh, EFS and SNP RVT-FxMe treatment did not change the increased relaxant responses to ACh, EFS and SNP in corpus cavernosum from SCD group. Clinical translation Excess of plasma hemoglobin in SCD may interfere in pharmacological activity of NO donors compounds. Strength/Limitations While mechanistic data with promising potential is showed, the current study is not without limitations. RVT-FxMe effects in the mid- and long-term warrant complementary studies. Conclusion Treatment with RVT-FxMe reversed the enhanced NO-cGMP-mediated CC relaxations in eNOS-/- mice, but not in SCD mice; it is likely that excess of plasma hemoglobin in SCD mice act to inactivate NO before it reaches soluble guanylyl cyclase, avoiding restoration of NO bioavailability in penis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aluminum is mainly exposed to the general population through food and water, and is absorbed into the systemic circulation through intestine, which in turn damages the intestinal barrier. METHODS The mice model of subchronic exposure to aluminum chloride (AlCl3 ) was established via oral. Tail suspension test was used to detect depressive behavior. H&E staining was performed to assess pathological intestinal injury. Intestinal permeability was estimated by exogenous Evans blue content. The level of inflammatory cytokines and tight junction protein were assessed via ELISA and western blotting. Simultaneously, resveratrol (Rsv, an agonist of Sirt1) was evaluated the protective role against intestinal barrier injuries caused by aluminum exposure. RESULTS Our results showed that AlCl3 induced depressive-like behavior, intestinal pathological damage and intestinal barrier permeability, resulting in intestinal barrier dysfunction. Besides, aluminum induced the expression of inflammatory cytokines, which further triggered IRF8-MMP9-mediated downregulation of tight junction proteins including CLD1, OCLD and ZO-1. After Rsv treatment, SIRT1 expression was increased, depressive symptom was improved, pathological injury was reduced, inflammatory reaction was alleviated, and intestinal barrier function restored. CONCLUSION Our findings revealed that aluminum exposure induced intestinal barrier dysfunction by IRF8-MMP9 signaling pathway. Rsv alleviated these injuries via activating SIRT1.

Abstract
The secreted factors from cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs) regulate the physiological activity of adjacent tissues and could be modulated by myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI). How this paracrine function of CMECs is regulated by MIRI and resveratrol remains to be elucidated. CMECs pretreated with/ without resveratrol were subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). Apoptosis was measured by flowcytometry. Protein antibody arrays were performed to find the alteration of cytokine secreted by CMECs. The Gene Ontology analysis was applied to interpret the function of modulated factors. We revealed resveratrol inhibited apoptosis of CMECs dose-dependently after H/R and reached its peak effect at the concentration of 100 μM. 29 factors were significantly changed by H/R, and resveratrol at 100 μM changed 98 types of factors compared with the H/R group. Among these factors, eight were increased by H/R and then were decreased by resveratrol. Eleven were attenuated by H/R and further decreased by resveratrol. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1 was upregulated by H/R and it was further increased by resveratrol. The altered factors were involved in cell proliferation, cell growth, cell motility, chemotaxis, angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. The study suggests that resveratrol inhibits the apoptosis and modulates the paracrine function of CMECs under ischemia/reperfusion condition.

Abstract
Resveratrol is a polyphenolic compound with anti-oxidation effects. The mechanisms underlying the antioxidant effects of resveratrol in duck intestinal epithelial cells remain unclear. The protective effects of resveratrol against oxidative stress induced by H2O2 on immortalized duck intestinal epithelial cells (IDECs) were investigated. IDECs were established by transferring the lentivirus-mediated simian virus 40 large T (SV40T) gene into small intestinal epithelial cells derived from duck embryos. IDECs were morphologically indistinguishable from the primary intestinal epithelial cells. The marker protein cytokeratin 18 (CK18) was also detected in the cultured cells. We found that resveratrol significantly increased the cell viability and activity of catalase and decreased the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, as well as the apoptosis rate induced by H2O2 (p < 0.05). Resveratrol up-regulated the expression of NRF2, p-NRF2, p-AKT, and p-P38 proteins and decreased the levels of cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-9 and the ratio of Bax to Bcl-2 in H2O2-induced IDECs (p < 0.05). Our findings revealed that resveratrol might alleviate oxidative stress by the PI3K/AKT and P38 MAPK signal pathways and inhibit apoptosis by altering the levels of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9, Bax, and Bcl-2 in IDECs exposed to H2O2.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus induces optic nerve injury via the excessive generation of mitochondria reactive free oxygen radical (mitROS). TRPM2 channel is activated by mitROS, although it is inhibited by selenium (Se) and resveratrol (RSV). The activation of TRPM2 induces apoptosis and oxidative injury in the optic nerve. The inhibition of TRPM2 may decrease the optic nerve injury action of diabetes mellitus after the treatments of Se and RSV. Present study aimed to investigate the protective actions of Se and RSV on the excessive Ca2+ influx and mitROS generation-mediated optic nerve oxidative injury via the modulation of TRPM2. Fifty-six C57BL/6j male mice were divided into seven groups as control, Se, RSV, streptozotocin (STZ), STZ + Se, STZ + RSV, and STZ + Se + RSV. The STZ-mediated stimulation of TRPM2 increased the cytosolic Ca2+, lipid peroxidation, mitROS, cytosolic ROS, apoptosis, caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 concentrations in the mice, although their concentrations were decreased in the optic nerve by the treatments of Se and RSV. The STZ-induced decrease of optic nerve viability, glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, vitamin A, and vitamin E concentrations was also upregulated by the treatments of Se and RSV. The STZ-induced increase of TRPM2, PARP-1, caspase-3, and caspase-9 protein band expressions was diminished by the treatments of Se and RSV. In conclusion, STZ induced the optic nerve oxidative injury and apoptosis via the upregulation of TRPM2 stimulation, although the treatments of Se and RSV decreased the injury and apoptosis via the downregulation of TRPM2 activity.

Abstract
AIMS Hypertension is one of the major causes of cardiac damage. In this study, the effects of resveratrol supplementation and regular exercise on hypertension-induced cellular stress responses of myocardium were compared. MAIN METHODS Hypertension was induced in male Wistar rats by deoxycorticosterone-acetate + salt administration for 12 weeks. Resveratrol and regular exercise were applied for the last six weeks. In addition to biochemical and molecular examinations, isoprenaline, phenylephrine and, acetylcholine-mediated contractions and sinus rate were recorded in the isolated cardiac tissues. KEY FINDINGS Resveratrol and regular exercise reduced systolic blood pressure in hypertensive rats. The altered adrenergic and cholinergic responses of the right atrium and left papillary muscles in hypertension were separately improved by resveratrol and regular exercise. Resveratrol and regular exercise decreased plasma and cardiac total antioxidant capacity and, augmented the expression of antioxidant genes in hypertensive rats. While regular exercise restored the increase in p-PERK expression associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress and decrease in mitophagic marker PINK1 expression, resveratrol only ameliorated PINK1 expression in hypertensive rats. Resveratrol and exercise training suppressed hypertension-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation by reversing the increase in NLRP3, p-NF-κB expression and the mature-IL-1β/pro-IL-1β and cleaved-caspase-1/pro-caspase-1 ratio. Resveratrol and exercise enhanced mRNA expression of caspase-3, bax, and bcl-2 involved in the apoptotic pathway, but attenuated phosphorylation of stress-related mitogenic proteins p38 and JNK induced by hypertension. SIGNIFICANCE Our study demonstrated the protective effect of resveratrol and exercise on hypertension-induced cardiac dysfunction by modulating cellular stress responses including oxidative stress, ER stress, mitophagy, NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammation, and mitogenic activation.

Abstract
The objective was to investigate whether resveratrol (RSV) can improve exercise capacity in patients with fatty acid oxidation (FAO) disorders. The study was a randomized, double-blind, cross-over trial. Nine patients with very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency or carnitine palmitoyl transferase (CPT) II deficiency were randomized to receive either 8 weeks of 1000 mg day-1 RSV or placebo (P) followed by a 4-weeks wash-out period and subsequently 8 weeks of the opposite treatment. Primary outcome measures were heart rate and FAO as measured via stable isotope technique during constant workload exercise. Secondary outcome measures included fat and glucose metabolism; perceived exertion; as well as subjective measures of energy expenditure, fatigue, and daily function. Eight participants completed the trial. Heart rate did not differ at the end of exercise after treatment with RSV vs placebo (P = .063). Rate of oxidation of palmitate at end of exercise was not different with 1.5 ± 0.8 (RSV) vs 1.3 ± 0.6 (P) μmol kg-1 min-1 (P = .109). Secondary outcomes did not change except for increased plasma glycerol and decreased plasma glucose levels at the end of exercise after treatment with RSV vs placebo. A daily dose of 1000 mg resveratrol does not improve exercise capacity or FAO during exercise in patients with CPTII or VLCAD deficiencies.

Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common hematological malignancy affecting pediatric patients. ALL treatment regimens with cytostatics manifest substantial toxicity and have reached the maximum of well-tolerated doses. One potential approach for improving treatment efficiency could be supplementation of the current regimen with naturally occurring phytochemicals with anti-cancer properties. Nutraceuticals such as quercetin, curcumin, resveratrol, and genistein have been studied in anti-cancer therapy, but their application is limited by their low bioavailability. However, their cooperative activity could potentially increase their efficiency at low, bioavailable doses. We studied their cooperative effect on the viability of a human ALL MOLT-4 cell line in vitro at the concentration considered to be in the bioavailable range in vivo. To analyze their potential side effect on the viability of non-tumor cells, we evaluated their toxicity on a normal human foreskin fibroblast cell line (BJ). In both cell lines, we also measured specific indicators of cell death, changes in cell membrane permeability (CMP), and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Even at a low bioavailable concentration, genistein and curcumin decreased MOLT-4 viability, and their combination had a significant interactive effect. While resveratrol and quercetin did not affect MOLT-4 viability, together they enhanced the effect of the genistein/curcumin mix, significantly inhibiting MOLT-4 population growth in vitro. Moreover, the analyzed phytochemicals and their combinations did not affect the BJ cell line. In both cell lines, they induced a decrease in MMP and correlating CMP changes, but in non-tumor cells, both metabolic activity and cell membrane continuity were restored in time. (4) Conclusions: The results indicate that the interactive activity of analyzed phytochemicals can induce an anti-cancer effect on ALL cells without a significant effect on non-tumor cells. It implies that the application of the combinations of phytochemicals an anti-cancer treatment supplement could be worth further investigation regardless of their low bioavailability.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a worldwide chronic epidemic disease of impaired glucose metabolism. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is considered a promising emerging treatment strategy for diabetes. However, the harsh internal environment of DM patients can inhibit the treatment effects of transplanted MSCs. Fortunately, this adverse effect can be reversed by resveratrol (Res). Therefore, we investigated and summarized relevant studies on the combined treatment of diabetes with MSCs and resveratrol. This review presents the therapeutic effects of this combination therapy strategy on DM in glycemic control, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative stress and anti-fibrotic. Moreover, this review explained the mechanisms of MSCs and resveratrol in diabetes treatment from 3 aspects, including promoting cell survival and inhibiting apoptosis, inhibiting histiocyte fibrosis, and improving glucose metabolism. These findings help to understand in-depth mechanisms of the treatment of DM and help to propose a potential treatment strategy for DM and its complications.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of resveratrol (RES) on inflammation-induced cartilage endplate (CEP) degeneration, and its regulatory mechanism on high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) signaling pathway. Methods The intervertebral CEP cells of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats aged 3 weeks were extracted and identified by toluidine blue staining and immunofluorescence staining of rabbit anti-rat collagen type Ⅱ. The cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) method was used to screen the optimal concentration of RES on intervertebral CEP cells. Gene chip analysis was used to determine the target of RES on intervertebral CEP cells. Interleukin 1β (IL-1β) was used to construct the intervertebral CEP cell degeneration model caused by inflammation and the 7-8-week-old SD rat intervertebral disc degeneration model, and pcDNA3.1-HMGB1 (pcDNA3.1) was used as the control of RES effect. Flow cytometry and TUNEL staining were used to detect the apoptotic rate of intervertebral CEP cells and rat intervertebral disc tissue cells, respectively. ELISA kit was used to detect the content of interleukin 10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) in the cell supernatant and rat serum. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of HMGB1, extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK), phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK), B cell lymphoma/leukemia 2 gene (Bcl-2), and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax). Results The extracted cells were identified as rat intervertebral CEP cells. CCK-8 method screened out the highest activity of intervertebral CEP cells treated with 30 μmol/L RES. The gene chip analysis confirmed that the HMGB1-ERK signal was the target of RES. Both cell experiments and animal experiments showed that RES treatment can significantly down-regulate the apoptosis rate of intervertebral CEP cells, inhibit the release of TNF-α, and increase the content of IL-10; and down-regulate the expressions of HMGB1, p-ERK, and Bax, and increase Bcl-2; and pcDNA3.1 could partially reverse these effects of RES, and the differences were all significant (P<0.05). Conclusion RES can significantly inhibit the apoptosis of intervertebral CEP cells induced by inflammation, which is related to inhibiting the expression of HMGB1.

Abstract
Programing self-assembly of naturally bioactive molecules has been a wide topic of great significance for biomedical uses. Despite the fact that plant-derived polyphenols with catechol or pyrogallol moieties have been widely studied to construct nanocomplexes or nanocoatings via self-polymerization, there is no report on the self-assembly of these polyphenols into therapeutic hydrogels for potential applications. Here, we reported that adding a very small amount of resveratrol (Res) into the gallic acid (GA) aqueous solution could trigger the quick self-assembly of GA to form a fibrous hydrogel within 5 min through hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions. The length of GA/Res (GR) fibrils in gels varied from 100 to 1000 microns, with a diameter of around 1 μm. Notably, these GR hydrogels showed excellent colloid stability, providing better slow release and outstanding biocompatibility. Also, in vivo experiments indicated the hydrogels had high antibacterial effects and excellent wound healing capabilities in a total skin defect model via regulating the expression of inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α) due to the release of therapeutic agents (GA and Res) into the matrix. Overall, our results provide a new strategy to accelerate self-assembly of GA by adding Res to form hydrogels, which is further proved as a promising therapeutic carrier for wound healing.

Abstract
Since COVID-19 has affected global public health, there has been an urgency to find a solution to limit both the number of infections, and the aggressiveness of the disease once infected. The main characteristic of this infection is represented by a strong alteration of the immune system which, day by day, increases the risk of mortality, and can lead to a multiorgan dysfunction. Because nutritional profile can influence patient’s immunity, we focus our interest on resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound known for its immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory properties. We reviewed all the information concerning the different roles of resveratrol in COVID-19 pathophysiology using PubMed and Scopus as the main databases. Interestingly, we find out that resveratrol may exert its role through different mechanisms. In fact, it has antiviral activity inhibiting virus entrance in cells and viral replication. Resveratrol also improves autophagy and decreases pro-inflammatory agents expression acting as an anti-inflammatory agent. It regulates immune cell response and pro-inflammatory cytokines and prevents the onset of thrombotic events that usually occur in COVID-19 patients. Since resveratrol acts through different mechanisms, the effect could be enhanced, making a totally natural agent particularly effective as an adjuvant in anti COVID-19 therapy.

Abstract
With an increased transmissibility but milder form of disease of the omicron variant of COVID-19 and the newer antivirals often still out of reach of many populations, a refocus of the current treatment regimens is required. Safe, affordable, and available adjuvant treatments should also be considered and known drugs and substances need to be repurposed and tested. Resveratrol, a well-known antioxidant of natural origin, shown to act as an antiviral as well as playing a role in immune stimulation, down regulation of the pro-inflammatory cytokine release and reducing lung injury by reducing oxidative stress, is such an option. New initiatives and collaborations will however need to be found to unleash resveratrol's full potential in the pharmaceutical market.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect of resveratrol on cardiomyocytes after hypoxia/ reoxygenation intervention based on PTEN-induced putative kinase protein 1/Parkinson disease protein 2 (PINK1/PARKIN) signaling pathway. METHODS 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenylte-trazolium bromide was used to detect the effect of resveratrol on the viability of H9C2 cells; the hypoxia/ reoxygenation (H/R) model was established in tri-gas incubator; 2', 7'-Dichlorofluorescin diacetate staining was used to measure the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS); the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential was determined by 5,5',6,6'-Tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethyl-imidacarbocyanine iodide staining; the changes of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex activity was evaluated by enzyme activity kits; flow cytometry was used to detect the ratio of apoptotic cells; transmission electron microscope was used to observe the ultrastructure of H9C2 cells; Western blot was used to detect the protein changes of mitochondrial 20 kDa outer membrane protein (TOM20), translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 23 (TIM23), presenilins associated rhomboid-like protein (PARL), PINK1, PARKIN and mitofusin 1 (Mfn1), mitofusin 2 (Mfn2), phosphotyrosine independent ligand for the Lck SH2 domain of 62 kDa (P62), microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta (LC3B); the mRNA levels of PINK1 and PARKIN was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction; immunoprecipitation assay was used to detect the interaction between PARKIN and Ubiquitin. RESULTS Resveratrol could inhibit the proliferation of H9C2 cells in a time- and concentration- dependent manner; however, pretreatment with low cytotoxic resveratrol could reduce the H/R-induced increase in cellular ROS levels, alleviate the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential induced by H/R, inhibit H/R-induced apoptosis of H9C2 cells, and protect the mitochondrial structure and respiratory chain of H9C2 cells from H/R damage. Resveratrol could further increase the levels of p62, PINK1, PARKIN protein, the expression of PINK1, PARKIN mRNA and the ratio of LC3BⅡ/LC3BⅠin H/R-induced H9C2 cells, inhibit the interaction between PARKIN and Ubiquitin in H/R-induced H9C2 cells, and further reduce the expression of TOM20,TIM23, PARL, Mfn1 and Mfn2 protein in H/R-induced H9C2 cells. The effect of resveratrol is consistent with that of autophagy activator on H/R-induced H9C2 cells. CONCLUSIONS Resveratrol can protect H9C2 cells from H/R injury, which may be related to resveratrol promoting mitochondrial autophagy by activating PINK1/PARKIN signaling pathway.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effect of resveratrol on intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) and its effect on the gut microbiome profiles, thus contributing to the potential therapeutic strategies for ICP. ICP rat models were established by injecting 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE) subcutaneously from the thirteenth day of gestation for four days and then treated with EE (D group, n=5), resveratrol (R group, n=5), or ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA; U group, n=5) from the seventeenth to the twentieth day of gestation. Fecal samples were analyzed with 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequencing. In results: the gut microbiota of pregnant rats was characterized with reduced alpha diversity (Chao1 index), and significant variation in the microbiota structure (ANOSIM) was also observed after being treated with EE. The richness of four phyla and ten genera was upregulated, and five phyla and ten genera were downregulated by EE treatment. The dysbiosis of Bilophila, Ruminococcus, and Actinobacteria caused by EE treatment was reversed by resveratrol administration. There was a correlation between total bile acid and alanine aminotransferase in ICP rats. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis results suggested that the secondary bile acid biosynthesis was decreased, and the alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism was increased after being treated with EE in pregnant rats. In conclusion, EE treatment could lead to gut microbiome dysbiosis and bile acid metabolism dysregulation in pregnant rats. Resveratrol could partially rescue gut microbiota dysbiosis and improve the biochemical characteristics caused by EE treatment.

Abstract
To investigate the effects and mechanisms of resveratrol on glucolipid metabolism in diabetic humans. In this paper, we introduced the knowledge discovery theory into the data processing of the factors related to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes for the first time, and identified valid, potentially useful, and understandable pathogenesis patterns from a large amount of measured data. A data mining C4.5 algorithm was used to classify 17072 validated cross-sectional health survey data from the whole population according to the characteristics of type ρ diabetes data. A human model of diabetes mellitus was prepared by high sugar and high fat diet plus low dose streptozotocin (STZ, 35 mg/kg) and randomly grouped into four groups: the normal control group, the model group, the resveratrol group, and the pioglitazone group. 8 animals in each group were treated with the corresponding drugs for 8 weeks. Hepatic steatosis and damage were significantly reduced compared with the model group as observed by HE staining. Resveratrol has obvious effects on regulating glucolipid metabolism, and its mechanism of action is associated with its ability to increase the antioxidant activity of the body, activate the Akt signaling pathway, and improve liver pathological damage.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies have shown that consumption of green tea, coffee, wine, and curry may contribute to a reduced risk of various cancers. However, there are some cancer site-specific differences in their effects; for example, the consumption of tea or wine may reduce bladder cancer risk, whereas coffee consumption may increase the risk. Animal and cell-based experiments have been used to elucidate the anticancer mechanisms of these compounds, with reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based mechanisms emerging as likely candidates. Chlorogenic acid (CGA), curcumin (CUR), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and resveratrol (RSV) can act as antioxidants that activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) to downregulate ROS, and as prooxidants to generate ROS, leading to the downregulation of NF-κB. Polyphenols can modulate miRNA (miR) expression, with these dietary polyphenols shown to downregulate tumor-promoting miR-21. CUR, EGCG, and RSV can upregulate tumor-suppressing miR-16, 34a, 145, and 200c, but downregulate tumor-promoting miR-25a. CGA, EGCG, and RSV downregulate tumor-suppressing miR-20a, 93, and 106b. The effects of miRs may combine with ROS-mediated pathways, enhancing the anticancer effects of these polyphenols. More precise analysis is needed to determine how the different modulations of miRs by polyphenols relate to the cancer site-specific differences found in epidemiological studies related to the consumption of foods containing these polyphenols.

Abstract
Loss-of-function mutations in parkin is associated with onset of juvenile Parkinson's disease (PD). Resveratrol is a polyphenolic stilbene with neuroprotective activity. Here, we evaluated the rescue action of resveratrol in parkin mutant D. melanogaster. The control flies (w1118) received diet-containing 2% ethanol (vehicle), while the PD flies received diets-containing resveratrol (15, 30 and 60 mg/kg diet) for 21 days to assess survival rate. Consequently, similar treatments were carried out for 10 days to evaluate locomotor activity, oxidative stress and antioxidant markers. We also determined mRNA levels of Superoxide dismutase 1 (Sod1, an antioxidant gene) and ple, which encodes tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting step in dopamine synthesis. Our data showed that resveratrol improved survival rate and climbing activity of PD flies compared to untreated PD flies. Additionally, resveratrol protected against decreased activities of acetylcholinesterase and catalase and levels of non-protein thiols and total thiols displayed by PD flies. Moreover, resveratrol mitigated against parkin mutant-induced accumulations of hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide and malondialdehyde. Resveratrol attenuated downregulation of ple and Sod1 and reduction in mitochondrial fluorescence intensity displayed by PD flies. Overall, resveratrol alleviated oxidative stress and locomotor deficit associated with parkin loss-of-function mutation and therefore might be useful for the management of PD.

Abstract
Doxorubicin is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug known to induce bone loss. The mechanism behind doxorubicin-mediated bone loss is unclear, but oxidative stress has been suggested as a potential cause. Antioxidants that can counteract the toxic effect of doxorubicin on the bone would be helpful for the prevention of secondary osteoporosis. We used resveratrol, a natural antioxidant, and MitoTEMPO, a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant, to counteract doxorubicin-induced bone loss and mineralization on Sparus aurata larvae. Doxorubicin supplemented Microdiets increased bone deformities, decreased mineralization, and lipid peroxidation, whereas Resveratrol and MitoTEMPO supplemented microdiets improved mineralization, decreased bone deformities, and reversed the effects of doxorubicin in vivo and in vitro, using osteoblastic VSa13 cells. Partial Least-Squares Discriminant Analysis highlighted differences between groups on the distribution of skeletal anomalies and mineralization of skeleton elements. Calcium and Phosphorus content was negatively affected in the doxorubicin supplemented group. Doxorubicin reduced the mRNA expression of antioxidant genes, including catalase, glutathione peroxidase 1, superoxide dismutase 1, and hsp90 suggesting that ROS are central for Doxorubicin-induced bone loss. The mRNA expression of antioxidant genes was significantly increased on resveratrol alone or combined treatment. The length of intestinal villi was increased in response to antioxidants and reduced on doxorubicin. Antioxidant supplements effectively prevent bone deformities and mineralization defects, increase antioxidant response and reverse doxorubicin-induced effects on bone anomalies, mineralization, and oxidative stress. A combined treatment of doxorubicin and antioxidants was beneficial in fish larvae and showed the potential for use in preventing Doxorubicin-induced bone impairment.
