Sharma A, Anurag, Kaur J, Kesharwani A, Parihar VK. Antimicrobial Potential of Polyphenols: An Update on Alternative for Combating Antimicrobial Resistance. Med Chem 2024; 20:576-596. [PMID: 38584534 DOI: 10.2174/0115734064277579240328142639] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
The last decade has encountered an increasing demand for plant-based natural antibiotics. This demand has led to more research-based investigations for natural sources of antimicrobial agents and published reports demonstrating that plant extracts are widely applied in modern medicine, reporting potential activity that may be due to polyphenol compounds. Interestingly, the effects of polyphenols on the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics have not been well-studied. Hence, the current review encompasses the prospective application of plant-based phenolic extracts from plants of Indian origin. The emergence of resistance to antimicrobial agents has increased the inefficacy of many antimicrobial drugs. Several strategies have been developed in recent times to overcome this issue. A combination of antimicrobial agents is employed for the failing antibiotics, which restores the desirable effect but may have toxicity-related issues. Phytochemicals such as some polyphenols have demonstrated their potent activity as antimicrobial agents of natural origin to work against resistance issues. These agents alone or in combination with certain antibiotics have been shown to enhance the antimicrobial activity against a spectrum of microbes. However, the information regarding the mechanisms and structure-activity relationships remains elusive. The present review also focuses on the possible mechanisms of natural compounds based on their structure- activity relationships for incorporating polyphenolic compounds in the drug-development processes. Besides this work, polyphenols could reduce drug dosage and may diminish the unhidden or hidden side effects of antibiotics. Pre-clinical findings have provided strong evidence that polyphenolic compounds, individually and in combination with already approved antibiotics, work well against the development of resistance. However, more studies must focus on in vivo results, and clinical research needs to specify the importance of polyphenol-based antibacterials in clinical trials.

Biomed Pharmacother 2022; 152:113242. [PMID: 35691160 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2022.113242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2022] [Revised: 05/29/2022] [Accepted: 06/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Taxifolin (TAX) is a flavanol compound with hepatoprotective effect, but its application is severely limited by its poor water solubility and low oral bioavailability. Therefore, it is important to urgently find a method to improve the oral bioavailability of TAX. METHODS In this study, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate modified taxifolin liposomes (HPMCAS-TAX-Lips) were prepared by a thin-film dispersion method, and a series of physicochemical properties of the liposomes were studied. The cumulative in vitro release rates of free TAX, taxifolin liposomes (TAX-Lips), and HPMCAS-TAX-Lips in the simulated gastrointestinal fluid were measured by in vitro release experiments, and the effect of HPMCAS-TAX-Lips on the human hepatoellular carcinomas (HepG2) cells was detected by MTT assay. Finally, the hepatoprotective mechanism of HPMCAS-TAX-Lips was explored through in vivo experiments. RESULTS The results showed that the particle size of HPMCAS-TAX-Lips was 100.44 ± 2.85 nm, the zeta potential was - 51.13 ± 0.57 mV, the PDI was 0.170 ± 0.088, and the EE was 87.9 ± 3.73%. The in vitro release results showed that the cumulative release rates of TAX-Lips and HPMCAS-TAX-Lips in simulated gastric fluid for 24 h were 92.60 ± 5.31% and 66.91 ± 1.20%, respectively. The cumulative release rates in simulated intestinal fluid for 24 h were 72.61 ± 4.38% and 53.94 ± 3.2%, respectively. The results of cytotoxicity experiments proved that HPMCAS-TAX-Lips had a significant inhibitory effect on HepG2 cells. In vivo experiments further showed that HPMCAS-TAX-Lips significantly improved the survival rate of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced acute liver injury mice and exerted hepatoprotective effects by regulating the expression of autophagy proteins and inhibiting the activation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. CONCLUSION This study proved the significant hepatoprotective effect of HMPCAS-TAX-Lips and provided a new idea for the application of TAX.

Abstract
The normal inflammatory reaction protects the body from harmful external factors, whereas abnormal chronic inflammation can cause various diseases, including cancer. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the anti‑inflammatory activity of a mixture of Chrysanthemum zawadskii, peppermint and Glycyrrhiza glabra (CPG) by analyzing the expression levels of inflammatory mediators, cytokines and transcription factors in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑stimulated Raw264.7 cells. A nitric oxide assay, ELISA, western blotting and immunofluorescence staining were performed to investigate the anti‑inflammatory activity of the CPG mixture. Pretreatment of Raw264.7 cells with CPG inhibited the increase of inflammatory mediators (inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase‑2 and IFN‑β) induced by LPS. Additionally, it inhibited the production of pro‑inflammatory cytokines (TNF‑α, IL‑6 and IL‑1β). CPG suppressed LPS‑induced phosphorylation of STAT1, AKT, Iκb and NF‑κB. Furthermore, CPG inhibited the translocation of NF‑κB into the nucleus. In summary, CPG could inhibit LPS‑induced inflammation, which occurs primarily through the AKT/Iκb/NF‑κB signaling pathway in RAW264.7 cells.

Abstract
It’s well known that the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) exerts a critical role in the regulator of immune cells and is associated with T cells dysfunction in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Antigen-induced T-cell proliferation via mTORC1 suppressed by Rapamycin has been used to improve SLE primarily. Previously it has showed that INK128, a highly potent, specific orally inhibitor of mTORC1 and mTORC2, significantly attenuates SLE in pristine-induced lupus mice. Herein we compared the cure effects of INK128 and rapamycin on lupus mice. We treated MRL/lpr mice with INK128 or rapamycin at 12 weeks-age. The effect of the two inhibitors on the lupus mice was determined by immunohistochemistry. The effect of the two inhibitors on T cell populations was investigated by flow cytometry. The mTOR signaling was measured by Western Blot. INK128 remarkably alleviated SLE by reducing splenomegaly, renal inflammation and damage, and resuming T-cell dysfunction. The more effective of INK128 on SLE than rapamycin. INK128 effectively suppressed mTORC1 and mTORC2 activity in T cells, but rapamycin just suppressed mTORC1 activity. Thus, our results show that INK128 is can effectively alleviate SLE and be used as one of the potential clinical therapeutic candidates for SLE.

Gallic Acid Alleviates Gouty Arthritis by Inhibiting NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Pyroptosis Through Enhancing Nrf2 Signaling. Front Immunol 2020; 11:580593. [PMID: 33365024 PMCID: PMC7750458 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2020.580593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 120] [Impact Index Per Article: 30.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Gallic acid is an active phenolic acid widely distributed in plants, and there is compelling evidence to prove its anti-inflammatory effects. NLRP3 inflammasome dysregulation is closely linked to many inflammatory diseases. However, how gallic acid affects the NLRP3 inflammasome remains unclear. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying the effects of gallic acid on the NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis, as well as its effect on gouty arthritis in mice. The results showed that gallic acid inhibited lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and pyroptosis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-primed and ATP-, nigericin-, or monosodium urate (MSU) crystal-stimulated macrophages. Additionally, gallic acid blocked NLRP3 inflammasome activation and inhibited the subsequent activation of caspase-1 and secretion of IL-1β. Gallic acid exerted its inhibitory effect by blocking NLRP3-NEK7 interaction and ASC oligomerization, thereby limiting inflammasome assembly. Moreover, gallic acid promoted the expression of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and reduced the production of mitochondrial ROS (mtROS). Importantly, the inhibitory effect of gallic acid could be reversed by treatment with the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385. NRF2 siRNA also abolished the inhibitory effect of gallic acid on IL-1β secretion. The results further showed that gallic acid could mitigate MSU-induced joint swelling and inhibit IL-1β and caspase 1 (p20) production in mice. Moreover, gallic acid could moderate MSU-induced macrophages and neutrophils migration into joint synovitis. In summary, we found that gallic acid suppresses ROS generation, thereby limiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation and pyroptosis dependent on Nrf2 signaling, suggesting that gallic acid possesses therapeutic potential for the treatment of gouty arthritis.

Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21145138.

Abstract
PIM kinases, a small family of serine/threonine kinases, are important intermediates in the cytokine signaling pathway of inflammatory disease. In this study, we investigated whether the novel PIM kinase inhibitor KMU-470, a derivative of indolin-2-one, inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses in RAW 264.7 cells. We demonstrated that KMU-470 suppressed the production of nitric oxide and inducible nitric oxide synthases that are induced by LPS in RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, KMU-470 inhibited LPS-induced up-regulation of TLR4 and MyD88, as well as the phosphorylation of IκB kinase and NF-κB in RAW 264.7 cells. Additionally, KMU-470 suppressed LPS-induced up-regulation at the transcriptional level of various pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6. Notably, KMU-470 inhibited LPS-induced up-regulation of a major component of the inflammasome complex, NLRP3, in RAW 264.7 cells. Importantly, PIM-1 siRNA transfection attenuated up-regulation of NLRP3 and pro-IL-1β in LPS-treated RAW 264.7 cells. Taken together, these findings indicate that PIM-1 plays a key role in inflammatory signaling and that KMU-470 is a potential anti-inflammatory agent.

Abstract
Objectives Wedelolactone exhibits regulatory effects on some inflammatory diseases. However, the anti‐inflammatory mechanism of wedelolactone has not been entirely unravelled. Therefore, the present study focuses on investigating the mechanism of wedelolactone on NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages and its influence on MSU‐induced inflammation. Materials and Methods BMDM, J774A.1 and PMA‐differentiated THP‐1 macrophages were primed with LPS and then stimulated with ATP or nigericin or MSU crystal in the presence or absence of wedelolactone. The cell lysates and supernatants were collected to detect NLRP3 inflammasome components such as NLRP3, ASC and caspase 1, as well as pyroptosis and IL‐1β production. In addition, the anti‐inflammatory effects of wedelolactone on MSU‐induced peritonitis and arthritis mice were also evaluated. Results We found that wedelolactone broadly inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation and pyroptosis and IL‐1β secretion. Wedelolactone also block ASC oligomerization and speck formation. The inhibitory effects of wedelolactone were abrogated by PKA inhibitor H89, which also attenuated wedelolactone‐enhanced Ser/Thr phosphorylation of NLRP3 at PKA‐specific sites. Importantly, wedelolactone could abate MSU‐induced IL‐1β production and neutrophils migration into peritoneal cavity, and reduced caspase 1 (p20) and IL‐1β expression in the joint tissue of MSU‐induced arthritis. Conclusion Our results indicate that wedelolactone promotes the Ser/Thr phosphorylation of NLRP3 to inhibit inflammasome activation and pyroptosis partly through potentiating PKA signalling, thus identifying its potential use for treating MSU‐induced peritonitis and gouty arthritis.

Abstract
Inflammasomes are protein complexes responsible for the release of IL-1 family cytokines, and they play critical roles in immunity and inflammation. The best-characterized inflammasome, the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, is involved in the development of multiple autoimmune diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms of abnormal NLRP3 inflammasome activation in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remain elusive. Here, western blot analysis was used to detect the level of NLRP3 components and mTORC1/2 substrate in the kidney tissues from B6.MRL-FASlpr/J lupus mice and C57BL/6 mice, and the results showed that mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1/2 (mTORC1/2) and the NLRP3 inflammasome were hyperactivated in B6.MRL-FASlpr/J lupus mice. The inhibition of mTOR by INK128, a novel mTORC1/2 inhibitor, suppressed LPS/ATP and LPS/nigericin-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) in vitro. INK128 decreased both the mRNA and protein levels of NLRP3 in an NF-κB-independent manner. Moreover, we reported for the first time that the inhibition of mTOR suppressed mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in BMDMs stimulated by an NLRP3 agonist. Furthermore, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, a ROS inhibitor, decreased NLRP3 expression, and rotenone, a robust ROS inducer, partially reversed the inhibitory effect of INK128 on NLRP3. These results demonstrated that mTOR regulated the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome at least partially via ROS-induced NLRP3 expression. Importantly, in vivo data demonstrated that INK128 treatment prominently attenuated lupus nephritis and suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation in B6.MRL-FASlpr/J lupus mice. Taken together, our results suggest that activation of mTOR/ROS/NLRP3 signaling may contribute to the development of SLE.

Abstract
Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved, multi-step lysosomal degradation process for the clearance of damaged or superfluous proteins and organelles. Accumulating studies have recently revealed that autophagy is closely related to a variety of types of cancer; however, elucidation of its Janus role of either tumor-suppressive or tumor-promoting still remains to be discovered. In this review, we focus on summarizing the context-dependent role of autophagy and its complicated molecular mechanisms in different types of cancer. Moreover, we discuss a series of small-molecule compounds targeting autophagy-related proteins or the autophagic process for potential cancer therapy. Taken together, these findings would shed new light on exploiting the intricate mechanisms of autophagy and relevant small-molecule compounds as potential anti-cancer drugs to improve targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract
Fungal keratitis is a major cause of corneal ulcers, resulting in significant visual impairment and blindness. A phosphorylated glycoprotein secreted by immunocompetent cells, osteopontin (OPN) mediates cluster formation of the host fungal receptors and enhances the phagocytosis and clearance of pathogenic fungi. However, whether OPN production and function occurs in fungal keratitis is unknown. OPN expression in Aspergillus fumigatus keratitis patient corneas was assessed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunofluorescence. Human neutrophils, THP-1 macrophages and corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) stimulated with A. fumigatus were utilized for in vitro experiments. Mouse models of A. fumigatus keratitis were developed by intrastromal injection for in vivo experiments. Using siRNAs, neutralizing antibodies, recombinant proteins and inhibitors, the production and role of OPN in A. fumigatus infection was assessed by clinical evaluation, qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence, western blotting and bioluminescence image acquisition. We observed increased corneal OPN expression in A. fumigatus keratitis patients and mouse models compared to controls. OPN production in response to A. fumigatus infection was dependent on LOX-1 and Erk1/2. Compared to controls, OPN knockdown impaired proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β production, which was dependent on 4E-BP1. OPN knockdown decreased myeloperoxidase levels, and resulted in decreased neutrophil recruitment, higher fungal load and increased apoptosis in mouse A. fumigatus keratitis. Our results indicate that OPN is a critical component of the antifungal immune response and is essential for effective neutrophil recruitment, inflammatory cytokine production and apoptosis in A. fumigatus keratitis.

Oxyresveratrol prevents lipopolysaccharide/d-galactosamine-induced acute liver injury in mice. Int Immunopharmacol 2018; 56:105-112.

Abstract
Oxyresveratrol (Oxy) is a natural polyhydroxystilbene abundant in mulberry that has anti-inflammation and anti-oxidant activities. We evaluated the protective effect of Oxy in the context of the lipopolysaccharide and d-galactosamine (LPS/d-GalN) induced acute liver injury. Oxy restricted the development of histopathological changes, markedly reduced the activity of alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST), which are indicators of impaired liver function. Oxy significantly regulated the contents of oxidative stress related enzymes and products, and inhibited expressions of inflammatory mediators and cytokines. Oxy treatment diminished the Toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-kappa B (TLR4/NF-κB) signaling pathway in liver, activated the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(Keap1)-nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway, and increased expressions of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and quinine oxidoreductase 1(NQO1). Pretreatment with Oxy decreased LPS/d-GalN stimulated hepatocyte apoptosis by efficaciously raising the B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)/Bcl-2 associated X (Bax) ratio, inhibiting the expression and activation of caspases, and activating the phosphoinoside-3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt pathway. Our results demonstrate the hepatoprotective efficacy of Oxy. The protection is mainly due to the prevention of TLR4/NF-κB pathway activation, induced activation of Keap1-Nrf2 signaling pathway, and decreased hepatocyte apoptosis. Oxy warrants further study as a potential therapeutic agent candidate for the management of acute liver injury.

Abstract
Lovastatin is a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitor that is clinically used for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Although it has been reported that lovastatin has anti-inflammatory properties in several studies, how lovastatin regulates the inflammation is still unclear. To evaluate the effect of lovastatin on nitric oxide production (NO) in RAW264.7 macrophages, NO production assay was performed. Also, cell viability was measured to confirm cytotoxicity. Level of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) transcription was measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from total RNA in RAW264.7 cells. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining were used to investigate the regulation of lovastatin on the expression, phosphorylation, and nuclear translocation of cellular proteins. The results of the present study revealed that lovastatin reduced nitric oxide production via the reduction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells. The mRNA level of TNF-α was reduced in presence of lovastatin. In addition, lovastatin downregulated histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1), resulting in the accumulation of acetylated histone H3 and heat shock protein 70. Furthermore, the expression of phosphoinositide 3-kinase catalytic subunits α and β was reduced under lovastatin treatment, and the phosphorylation of Akt and mammalian target of rapamycin was consequently inhibited. Lovastatin also inhibited the phosphorylation of inhibitor of nuclear factor (NF)-κBα and the translocation of NF-κB into the nucleus. Therefore, the present study demonstrates that lovastatin inhibits the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators, including iNOS and TNF-α, through the suppression of HDAC1 expression, PI3K/Akt phosphorylation and NF-κB translocation in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thioredoxin (TRX)-1, a ubiquitous 12-kDa protein, exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. In contrast, the truncated form, called TRX80, produced by macrophages induces upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines. TRX80 also promotes the differentiation of mouse peritoneal and human macrophages toward a proinflammatory M1 phenotype. METHODS TRX1 and TRX80 plasma levels were determined with a specific ELISA. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein (ADAM)-10, ADAM-17, and ADAM-10 activities were measured with SensoLyte 520 ADAM10 Activity Assay Kit, Fluorimetric, and InnoZyme TACE Activity Kit, respectively. Western immunoblots were performed with specific antibodies to ADAM-10 or ADAM-17. Angiogenesis study was evaluated in vitro with human microvascular endothelial cells-1 and in vivo with the Matrigel plug angiogenesis assay in mice. The expression of macrophage phenotype markers was investigated with real-time polymerase chain reaction. Phosphorylation of Akt, mechanistic target of rapamycin, and 70S6K was determined with specific antibodies. The effect of TRX80 on NLRP3 inflammasome activity was evaluated by measuring the level of interleukin-1β and -18 in the supernatants of activated macrophages with ELISA. Hearts were used for lesion surface evaluation and immunohistochemical studies, and whole descending aorta were stained with Oil Red O. For transgenic mice generation, the human scavenger receptor (SR-A) promoter/enhancer was used to drive macrophage-specific expression of human TRX80 in mice. RESULTS In this study, we observed a significant increase of plasma levels of TRX80 in old subjects compared with healthy young subjects. In parallel, an increase in expression and activity of ADAM-10 and ADAM-17 in old peripheral blood mononuclear cells compared with those of young subjects was observed. Furthermore, TRX80 was found to colocalize with tumor necrosis factor-α, a macrophage M1 marker, in human atherosclerotic plaque. In addition, TRX80 induced the expression of murine M1 macrophage markers through Akt2/mechanistic target of rapamycin-C1/70S6K pathway and activated the inflammasome NLRP3, leading to the release of interleukin-1β and -18, potent atherogenic cytokines. Moreover, TRX80 exerts a powerful angiogenic effect in both in vitro and in vivo mouse studies. Finally, transgenic mice that overexpress human TRX80 specifically in macrophages of apoE-/- mice have a significant increase of aortic atherosclerotic lesions. CONCLUSIONS TRX80 showed an age-dependent increase in human plasma. In mouse models, TRX80 was associated with a proinflammatory status and increased atherosclerosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dishevelled, Egl-10 and Pleckstrin (DEP) domain-containing protein 5 (DEPDC5) is a protein subunit of the GTPase-activating proteins towards Rags 1 (GATOR1) complex. GATOR1 is a recently identified modulator of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) activity. mTOR is a key regulator of cell proliferation and metabolism; disruption of the mTOR pathway is implicated in focal epilepsy, both acquired and genetic. Tuberous sclerosis is the prototypic mTOR genetic syndrome with epilepsy, however GATOR1 gene mutations have recently been shown to cause lesional and non-lesional focal epilepsy. Areas covered: This review summarizes the mTOR pathway, including regulators and downstream effectors, emphasizing recent developments in the understanding of the complex role of the GATOR1 complex. We review the epilepsy types associated with mTOR overactivity, including tuberous sclerosis, polyhydramnios megalencephaly symptomatic epilepsy, cortical dysplasia, non-lesional focal epilepsy and post-traumatic epilepsy. Currently available mTOR inhibitors are discussed, primarily rapamycin analogs and ATP competitive mTOR inhibitors. Expert opinion: DEPDC5 is an attractive therapeutic target in focal epilepsy, as effects of DEPDC5 agonists would likely be anti-epileptogenic and more selective than currently available mTOR inhibitors. Therapeutic effects might be synergistic with certain existing dietary therapies, including the ketogenic diet.

Abstract
Pepper, a daily-used seasoning for promoting appetite, is widely used in folk medicine for treating gastrointestinal diseases. Piperine is the major alkaloid in pepper and possesses a wide range of pharmacological activities. However, the mechanism for linking metabolic and medicinal activities of piperine remains unknown. Here we report that piperine robustly boosts mTORC1 activity by recruiting more system L1 amino acid transporter (SLC7A5/SLC3A2) to the cell membrane, thus promoting amino acid metabolism. Piperine-induced increase of mTORC1 activity in resident peritoneal macrophages (pMΦs) is correlated with enhanced production of IL-6 and TNF-α upon LPS stimulation. Such an enhancement of cytokine production could be abrogated by inhibitors of the mTOR signaling pathway, indicating mTOR's action in this process. Moreover, piperine treatment protected resident pMΦs from bacterium-induced apoptosis and disappearance, and increased their bacterial phagocytic ability. Consequently, piperine administration conferred mice resistance against bacterial infection and even sepsis. Our data highlight that piperine has the capacity to metabolically reprogram peritoneal resident macrophages to fortify their innate functions against bacterial infection.

Abstract
The mTOR pathway has a central role in the regulation of cell metabolism, growth and proliferation. Studies involving selective gene targeting of mTOR complexes (mTORC1 and mTORC2) in renal cell populations and/or pharmacologic mTOR inhibition have revealed important roles of mTOR in podocyte homeostasis and tubular transport. Important advances have also been made in understanding the role of mTOR in renal injury, polycystic kidney disease and glomerular diseases, including diabetic nephropathy. Novel insights into the roles of mTORC1 and mTORC2 in the regulation of immune cell homeostasis and function are helping to improve understanding of the complex effects of mTOR targeting on immune responses, including those that impact both de novo renal disease and renal allograft outcomes. Extensive experience in clinical renal transplantation has resulted in successful conversion of patients from calcineurin inhibitors to mTOR inhibitors at various times post-transplantation, with excellent long-term graft function. Widespread use of this practice has, however, been limited owing to mTOR-inhibitor- related toxicities. Unique attributes of mTOR inhibitors include reduced rates of squamous cell carcinoma and cytomegalovirus infection compared to other regimens. As understanding of the mechanisms by which mTORC1 and mTORC2 drive the pathogenesis of renal disease progresses, clinical studies of mTOR pathway targeting will enable testing of evolving hypotheses.

Abstract
Background The pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases often involves the microglial activation and associated inflammatory processes. Activated microglia release pro-inflammatory factors that may be neurotoxic. 6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) is a well-established immunosuppressive drug. Common understanding of their immunosuppressive properties is largely limited to peripheral immune cells. However, the effect of 6-MP in the central nervous system, especially in microglia in the context of neuroinflammation is, as yet, unclear. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a key cytokine of the immune system that initiates and promotes neuroinflammation. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of 6-MP on TNF-α production by microglia to discern the molecular mechanisms of this modulation. Methods Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to induce an inflammatory response in cultured primary microglia or murine BV-2 microglial cells. Released TNF-α was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Gene expression was determined by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Signaling molecules were analyzed by western blotting, and activation of NF-κB was measured by ELISA-based DNA binding analysis and luciferase reporter assay. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis was performed to examine NF-κB p65 and coactivator p300 enrichments and histone modifications at the endogenous TNF-α promoter. Results Treatment of LPS-activated microglia with 6-MP significantly attenuated TNF-α production. In 6-MP pretreated microglia, LPS-induced MAPK signaling, IκB-α degradation, NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation, and in vitro p65 DNA binding activity were not impaired. However, 6-MP suppressed transactivation activity of NF-κB and TNF-α promoter by inhibiting phosphorylation and acetylation of p65 on Ser276 and Lys310, respectively. ChIP analyses revealed that 6-MP dampened LPS-induced histone H3 acetylation of chromatin surrounding the TNF-α promoter, ultimately leading to a decrease in p65/coactivator-mediated transcription of TNF-α gene. Furthermore, 6-MP enhanced orphan nuclear receptor Nur77 expression. Using RNA interference approach, we further demonstrated that Nur77 upregulation contribute to 6-MP-mediated inhibitory effect on TNF-α production. Additionally, 6-MP also impeded TNF-α mRNA translation through prevention of LPS-activated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling cascades. Conclusions These results suggest that 6-MP might have a therapeutic potential in neuroinflammation-related neurodegenerative disorders through downregulation of microglia-mediated inflammatory processes.

Abstract
Since the discovery of Rapamycin (RAPA) and its immunosuppressive properties, enormous progress has been made in characterizing the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). Use of RAPA and its analogues (rapalogs) as anti-rejection agents has been accompanied by extensive investigation of how targeting of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1), the principal target of RAPA, and more recently mTORC2, affects the function of immune cells, as well as vascular endothelial cells, that play crucial roles in regulation of allograft rejection. While considerable knowledge has accumulated on the function of mTORC1 and 2 in T cells, understanding of the differential roles of these complexes in antigen-presenting cells, NK cells and B cells/plasma cells is only beginning to emerge. Immune cell-specific targeting of mTORC1 or mTORC2, together with use of novel, second generation, dual mTORC kinase inhibitors (TORKinibs) have started to play an important role in elucidating the roles of these complexes and their potential for targeting in transplantation. Much remains unknown about the role of mTOR complexes and the consequences of mTOR targeting on immune reactivity in clinical transplantation. Here we address recent advances in understanding and evolving perspectives of the role of mTOR complexes and mTOR targeting in immunity, with extrapolation to transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mTOR pathway, which consists of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2), is activated in polycystic kidney disease (PKD) kidneys. Sirolimus and everolimus indirectly bind and inhibit mTORC1. A novel group of drugs, the mTOR kinase inhibitors, directly bind to mTOR kinase, thus inhibiting both mTORC1 and 2. The aim of the study was to determine the therapeutic effect of an mTOR kinase inhibitor, PP242, in the Han:SPRD rat (Cy/+) model of PKD. METHODS Male rats were treated with PP242 5 mg/kg/day IP or vehicle for 5 weeks. RESULTS PP242 significantly reduced the kidney enlargement, the cyst density and the blood urea nitrogen in Cy/+ rats. On immunoblot of kidneys, PP242 resulted in a decrease in pS6, a marker of mTORC1 signaling and pAkt(Ser473), a marker of mTORC2 signaling. mTORC plays an important role in regulating cytokine production. There was an increase in IL-1, IL-6, CXCL1 and TNF-α in Cy/+ rat kidneys that was unaffected by PP242. Apoptosis or proliferation is known to play a causal role in cyst growth. PP242 had no effect on caspase-3 activity, TUNEL positive or active caspase-3-positive tubular cells in Cy/+ kidneys. PP242 reduced the number of proliferating cells per cyst and per non-cystic tubule in Cy/+ rats. CONCLUSIONS In a rat model of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, PP242 treatment (i) decreases proliferation in cystic and non-cystic tubules; (ii) inhibits renal enlargement and cystogenesis and (iii) significantly reduces the loss of kidney function.
