Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15556. [PMID: 37958538 PMCID: PMC10648967 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242115556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Tiliroside, a natural flavonoid, has various biological activities and improves several inflammatory diseases in rodents. However, the effect of Tiliroside on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the potential renoprotective effect of Tiliroside on LPS-induced AKI in mice. Male C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with LPS (a single dose, 3 mg/kg) with or without Tiliroside (50 or 200 mg/kg/day for 8 days). Tiliroside administration protected against LPS-induced AKI, as reflected by ameliorated renal dysfunction and histological alterations. LPS-stimulated renal expression of inflammatory cytokines, fibrosis markers, and kidney injury markers in mice was significantly abolished by Tiliroside. This flavonoid also stimulated autophagy flux but inhibited oxidative stress and tubular cell apoptosis in kidneys from LPS-injected mice. Mechanistically, our study showed the regulation of Tiliroside on the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system in LPS-induced AKI mice. Tiliroside treatment suppressed intrarenal AGT, Renin, ACE, and Ang II, but upregulated intrarenal ACE2 and Ang1-7, without affecting plasma Ang II and Ang1-7 levels. Collectively, our data highlight the renoprotective action of Tiliroside on LPS-induced AKI by suppressing inflammation, oxidative stress, and tubular cell apoptosis and activating autophagy flux via the shift towards the intrarenal ACE2/Ang1-7 axis and away from the intrarenal ACE/Ang II axis.

Abstract
Inflammation is the primary response to infection and injury. Its beneficial effect is an immediate resolution of the pathophysiological event. However, sustained production of inflammatory mediators such as reactive oxygen species and cytokines may cause alterations in DNA integrity and lead to malignant cell transformation and cancer. More attention has recently been paid to pyroptosis, which is an inflammatory necrosis that activates inflammasomes and the secretion of cytokines. Taking into consideration that phenolic compounds are widely available in diet and medicinal plants, their role in the prevention and support of the treatment of chronic diseases is apparent. Recently, much attention has been paid to explaining the significance of isolated compounds in the molecular pathways related to inflammation. Therefore, this review aimed to screen reports concerning the molecular mode of action assigned to phenolic compounds. The most representative compounds from the classes of flavonoids, tannins, phenolic acids, and phenolic glycosides were selected for this review. Our attention was focused mainly on nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways. Literature searching was performed using Scopus, PubMed, and Medline databases. In conclusion, based on the available literature, phenolic compounds regulate NF-κB, Nrf2, and MAPK signaling, which supports their potential role in chronic inflammatory disorders, including osteoarthritis, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular, and pulmonary disorders.

Tiliroside as a CAXII inhibitor suppresses liver cancer development and modulates E2Fs/Caspase-3 axis. Sci Rep 2021; 11:8626. [PMID: 33883691 PMCID: PMC8060393 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-88133-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2020] [Accepted: 03/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Liver cancer is the fatal cause of cancer deaths worldwide due to its aggressiveness and lack of effective therapies. Tiliroside (C30H26O13) is an active compound extracted from herb plant Tribulus terrestris L., which has been used as alternative therapy in clinic practice. However, its therapeutic use against liver cancer has not been previously reported. Here, we showed that Tiliroside exerted significantly higher anti-proliferation effect on liver cancer cell lines Hep3B and SNU-449 than on liver normal cell THLE-3 cells or NC group, respectively, by using MTS assay. Results from colony formation, immigration and invasion assays support the anticancer efficacy of Tiliroside and its low-toxic property while treating liver normal cell THLE-3. 3D spheroid formation and CD133 expression level also displays its anti-stemness effect. It has been showed that Tiliroside may function as Carbonic anhydrases XII (CAXII) inhibitor and affects apoptotic E2F1/E2F3/Caspase-3 axis by using CAXII esterase activity assay, Human carbonic anhydrase 12 (CA-12) ELISA Kit, quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) as well as CaspACE Assay System, respectively. In summary, we demonstrate for the first time that Tiliroside suppresses liver cancer development possibly by acting as a novel CAXII inhibitor, which warrant further investigation on its therapeutic implications.

Abstract
Although Edgeworthia gardneri (Wall.) Meisn and its main component tiliroside (TIL) show good bioactivity, its intestinal absorption data supporting its low bioavailability have not been reported.The evaluation results of three absorption models in vitro and in vivo indicated that the results of the Ussing chamber model were basically consistent with the results of in vivo experiments. It was thus applied to investigate the characteristics of TIL across various intestinal regions and the interaction between TIL and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette family proteins (ABC) including, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2), and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP).The data of the bi-directional transport showed that the ileum had the higher apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) of TIL than duodenum and jejunum, suggesting the best absorption of TIL in the ileum.In the presence of the MRP2 inhibitor, the absorption of TIL from water extracts of E. gardneri (Wall.) Meisn (WAE) was improved, indicating that MRP2 other than P-gp and BCRP affected the absorption of TIL and might be responsible for its low bioavailability. This study laid the foundation for enhancing the bioavailability of TIL and highlighted the influences of efflux transporters on bioavailability.

Characterisation of ACP5 missense mutations encoding tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase associated with spondyloenchondrodysplasia. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0230052. [PMID: 32214327 PMCID: PMC7098635 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0230052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2019] [Accepted: 02/20/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Biallelic mutations in ACP5, encoding tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP), have recently been identified to cause the inherited immuno-osseous disorder, spondyloenchondrodysplasia (SPENCD). This study was undertaken to characterize the eight reported missense mutations in ACP5 associated with SPENCD on TRACP expression. ACP5 mutant genes were synthesized, transfected into human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells and stably expressing cell lines were established. TRACP expression was assessed by cytochemical and immuno-cytochemical staining with a panel of monoclonal antibodies. Analysis of wild (WT) type and eight mutant stable cell lines indicated that all mutants lacked stainable enzyme activity. All ACP5 mutant constructs were translated into intact proteins by HEK-293 cells. The mutant TRACP proteins displayed variable immune reactivity patterns, and all drastically reduced enzymatic activity, revealing that there is no gross inhibition of TRACP biosynthesis by the mutations. But they likely interfere with folding thereby impairing enzyme function. TRACP exists as two isoforms. TRACP 5a is a less active monomeric enzyme (35kD), with the intact loop peptide and TRACP 5b is proteolytically cleaved highly active enzyme encompassing two subunits (23 kD and 16 kD) held together by disulfide bonds. None of the mutant proteins were proteolytically processed into isoform 5b intracellularly, and only three mutants were secreted in significant amounts into the culture medium as intact isoform 5a-like proteins. Analysis of antibody reactivity patterns revealed that T89I and M264K mutant proteins retained some native conformation, whereas all others were in “denatured” or “unfolded” forms. Western blot analysis with intracellular and secreted TRACP proteins also revealed similar observations indicating that mutant T89I is amply secreted as inactive protein. All mutant proteins were attacked by Endo-H sensitive glycans and none could be activated by proteolytic cleavage in vitro. In conclusion, determining the structure-function relationship of the SPENCD mutations in TRACP will expand our understanding of basic mechanisms underlying immune responsiveness and its involvement in dysregulated bone metabolism.
