ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2023. [PMID: 37148149 DOI: 10.1002/tox.23806] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
Acute Lung Injury (ALI) is a critical medical condition that induces the injury into the lung tissue, resulting in decreased the oxygen levels in the circulation and finally causes the respiratory failure. In this study, we try to made effort for scrutinized the preventive effect of gossypin against lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced lung inflammation and explore the underlying mechanism. LPS (7.5 mg/kg) was used for induction the lung inflammation in the rats and rats were received the oral administration of gossypin (5, 10 and 15 mg/kg). The wet to dry weight lung ratio and lung index were estimated. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected to determination the inflammatory cells, total protein, macrophages and neutrophils. ELISA kits were used for the estimation of antioxidant, inflammatory cytokines, inflammatory parameters, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) parameters. Finally, we used the lung tissue for scrutinize the alteration in the lung histopathology. Gossypin treatment significantly (p < .001) reduced the W/D ratio of lung tissue and lung index. Gossypin significantly (p < .001) decreased the total cells, neutrophils, macrophages and total protein in BALF. It is also altered the level of inflammatory cytokines, antioxidant and inflammatory parameters, respectively. Gossypin improved the level of Nrf2 and HO-1 at dose dependent manner. Gossypin treatment remarkably enhance the ALI severity via balancing the structural integrity of lung tissue, decrease the thickness of the alveolar wall, decline the pulmonary interstitial edema, and number of inflammatory cells in the lung tissue. Gossypin is a promising agent for the treatment of LPS induced lung inflammation via altering Nrf2/HO-1 and NF-κB.

[PMID: 36537648 DOI: 10.1002/tox.23725] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The pro-inflammation M1 to anti-inflammation M2 macrophage ratio contribute to the severity of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI). JMJD3 aggravates the inflammatory reaction through affecting epigenetic modification and macrophage's phenotype to deteriorate ALI. To explore the mechanism underlying the upregulation of the macrophage M1/M2 ratio through JMJD3, we developed an ALI mouse model using intratracheal LPS, LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells, and inhibited JMJD3 using GSK-J4. H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 were investigated as JMJD3-mediated epigenetic alteration sites in vivo and in vitro. C/EBPβ and KDM5A were validated as linking factors between H3K27 and H3K4. IL4i1 was investigated as a JMJD3-mediated targeted gene to regulate the macrophage M1/M2 ratio. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was used to evaluate the relationship between H3K27me3 and C/ebpβ, C/EBPβ and Kdm5a, H3K4me3 and Il4i1. Inhibiting JMJD3 with GSK-J4 can relieve inflammation and pathological performance in ALI. JMJD3 can reduce IL4i1 expression to increase the macrophage M1/M2 ratio and aggravated ALI which process was mediated via JMJD3-indcued H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 demethylation, latter H3K4me3 demethylation inhibited IL4i1 transcription. Inhibiting JMJD3 with GSK-J4 can increase IL4i1 expression, subsequently decreasing the expressions of M1 and increasing of M2 in vivo. The over-expression IL4i1 in LPS-stimulated macrophage or inhibiting JMJD3 with GSK-J4 can both reverse the increase of the macrophage M1/M2 ratio in vitro. C/EBPβ and KDM5A were upregulated by LPS simulation, which linked JMJD3-induced H3K27-H3K4 demethylation. JMJD3 inhibited IL4i1 to increase the macrophage M1/M2 phenotype ratio and aggravate LPS-induced ALI. Using GSK-J4 to inhibit JMJD3 may facilitate the treatment of LPS-induced ALI.

[PMID: 36350155 DOI: 10.1002/tox.23699] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2021] [Revised: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated immune inflammatory response that mainly affects the nasal mucosa. Currently, there is evidence that apigenin, as a flavonoid, has anti-allergic potential. MATERIAL/METHODS In vitro, compound 48/80 and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were used to induce mast cell activation and inflammation in HMC-1 cells. In vivo, ovalbumin (OVA) induced and stimulated AR in BALB/c mice. ELISA was used to detect the contents of β-hexosaminidase, histamine, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), OVA-specific IgE, IgG1, and IgG2a, inflammatory factors in cells and mouse serum. Cell viability and apoptosis were measured with MTT and flow cytometry. Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor88 (MyD88)/Nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway-related proteins in cells and mouse nasal mucosa tissues were analyzed with Western blotting. The levels of Th1 (IFN-γ) and Th2 (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13) cytokines and Th1 (T-bet) and Th2 (GATA-3) specific transcription factors were also assessed. The ratio of Th1 (CD4+ IFN-γ+ ) / Th2 (CD4+ IL-4+ ) cells in mouse peripheral blood mononuclear cells was evaluated by flow cytometry. RESULTS Apigenin significantly inhibited compound 48/80-induced secretion of β-hexosaminidase and histamine. Apigenin blocked LPS-induced decrease in cell viability and increase in cell apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine secretion by suppressing the activity of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway. Apigenin treatment reduced the levels of OVA-specific IgE, IgG1 and IgG2a as well as β-hexosaminidase, histamine and ECP levels in mouse serum. Moreover, administration with apigenin decreased Th2 cytokine and transcription factor levels and increased Th1 cytokine and transcription factor levels, and promoted the ratio of Th1/Th2 cells in AR mice. Additionally, apigenin significantly alleviated nasal symptoms and nasal eosinophil infiltration in AR mice. CONCLUSIONS Apigenin alleviates the inflammatory response of allergic rhinitis by inhibiting the activity of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to explore the neuroprotective mechanism of JDYZF in treating AD from the perspective of inflammation and intestinal microflora. METHODS A total of 24 APP/PS1 mice were randomly divided into four groups: model (n = 6), JDYZF low-dose (n = 6), JDYZF high-dose (n = 6), and positive drug (n = 6), six C57 mice were used as the control group. The body weights and diets of all mice were examined daily. After 8 weeks of administration, the learning and memory of mice were evaluated by the Morris water maze test. The histopathological changes of hippocampus, liver and kidney in mice were observed by HE staining after being euthanized. The expression of p-tau in hippocampus tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. After that, 16S rDNA sequencing was used to investigate the relationship between JDYZF and intestinal microbiota. Finally, a comparison of TLR4, p65, p-p65, iκB, p-iκB, and IL-1β protein expression in the hippocampus tissue of mice in each group was measured by Western blot. RESULTS The results showed that APP/PS1 mice taking JDYZF orally were generally in good condition. Compared with the control group, JDYZF significantly improved learning and memory ability in ethology. Histology showed that JDYZF improved the hippocampal structure of mice and inhibited the deposition of p-tau. JDYZF treatment could regulate the gut microbiota of APP/PS1 mice by increasing the richness of Lachnospiraceae, Ruminococcaceae, and Actinobacteria and reducing that of Alistipes and Muribaculaceae. It also significantly inhibited the activation of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in the brain. In addition, no obvious toxic reactions were found in the liver and kidney of APP/PS1 mice after taking JDYZF for 8 weeks. CONCLUSION The findings revealed that JDYZF improved cognitive ability and alleviated the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in APP/PS1 mice, and the modulating the gut microbiota presented here may help illuminate its activation mechanism.

Progressive disruption of neurodevelopment by mid-gestation exposure to lipopolysaccharides and the ameliorating effect of continuous alpha-glycosyl isoquercitrin treatment. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2023; 38:49-69. [PMID: 36125228 DOI: 10.1002/tox.23661] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2022] [Revised: 08/28/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
We investigated the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced maternal immune activation used as a model for producing neurodevelopmental disorders on hippocampal neurogenesis and behaviors in rat offspring by exploring the antioxidant effects of alpha-glycosyl isoquercitrin (AGIQ). Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were intraperitoneally injected with LPS (50 μg/kg body weight) at gestational days 15 and 16. AGIQ was administered in the diet to dams at 0.5% (w/w) from gestational day 10 until weaning at postnatal day 21 and then to offspring until adulthood at postnatal day 77. During postnatal life, offspring of LPS-injected animals did not show neuroinflammation or oxidative stress in the brain. At weaning, LPS decreased the numbers of type-2b neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and PCNA+ proliferating cells in the subgranular zone, FOS-expressing granule cells, and GAD67+ hilar interneurons in the dentate gyrus. In adulthood, LPS decreased type-1 neural stem cells, type-2a NPCs, and GAD67+ hilar interneurons, and downregulated Dpysl3, Sst, Fos, Mapk1, Mapk3, Grin2a, Grin2b, Bdnf, and Ntrk2. In adults, LPS suppressed locomotor activity in the open field test and suppressed fear memory acquisition and fear extinction learning in the contextual fear conditioning test. These results indicate that mid-gestation LPS injections disrupt programming of normal neurodevelopment resulting in progressive suppression of hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity of newborn granule cells by suppressing GABAergic and glutamatergic neurotransmitter signals and BDNF/TrkB signaling to result in adult-stage behavioral deficits. AGIQ ameliorated most aberrations in hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity, as well as behavioral deficits. Effective amelioration by continuous AGIQ treatment starting before LPS injections may reflect both anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress effects during gestation and neuroprotective effects of continuous exposure through adulthood.
