Evaluation of lung protection of Sanghuangporus sanghuang through TLR4/NF-κB/MAPK, keap1/Nrf2/HO-1, CaMKK/AMPK/Sirt1, and TGF-β/SMAD3 signaling pathways mediating apoptosis and autophagy. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 165:115080. [PMID: 37392658 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a type of interstitial pneumonia characterized by chronic and progressive fibrosis with an unknown etiology. Previous pharmacological studies have shown that Sanghuangporus sanghuang possesses various beneficial properties including immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, antitumor, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects. This study used a bleomycin (BLM)-induced IPF mouse model to illustrate the possible benefits of SS in ameliorating IPF. BLM was administered on day 1 to establish a pulmonary fibrosis mouse model, and SS was administered through oral gavage for 21 d. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson's trichrome staining results showed that SS significantly reduced tissue damage and decreased fibrosis expression. We observed that SS treatment resulted in a substantial lowering in the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines like TGF-β, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 as well as MPO. In addition, we observed a notable increase in glutathione (GSH) levels. Western blot analysis of SS showed that it reduces inflammatory factors (TWEAK, iNOS, and COX-2), MAPK (JNK, p-ERK, and p-38), fibrosis-related molecules (TGF-β, SMAD3, fibronectin, collagen, α-SMA, MMP2, and MMP9), apoptosis (p53, p21, and Bax), and autophagy (Beclin-1, LC3A/B-I/II, and p62), and notably increases caspase 3, Bcl-2, and antioxidant (Catalase, GPx3, and SOD-1) levels. SS alleviates IPF by regulating the TLR4/NF-κB/MAPK, Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1, CaMKK/AMPK/Sirt1, and TGF-β/SMAD3 pathways. These results suggest that SS has a pharmacological activity that protects the lungs and has the potential to improve pulmonary fibrosis.

Natural Morin-Based Metal Organic Framework Nanoenzymes Modulate Articular Cavity Microenvironment to Alleviate Osteoarthritis. RESEARCH (WASHINGTON, D.C.) 2023; 6:0068. [PMID: 36930778 PMCID: PMC10013961 DOI: 10.34133/research.0068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is always characterized as excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside articular cavity. Mimicking natural metalloenzymes with metal ions as the active centers, stable metal organic framework (MOF) formed by natural polyphenols and metal ions shows great potential in alleviating inflammatory diseases. Herein, a series of novel copper-morin-based MOF (CuMHs) with different molar ratios of Cu2+ and MH were employed to serve as ROS scavengers for OA therapy. As a result, CuMHs exhibited enhanced dispersion in aqueous solution, improved biocompatibility, and efficient ROS-scavenging ability compared to MH. On the basis of H2O2-stimulated chondrocytes, intracellular ROS levels were efficiently declined and cell death was prevented after treated by Cu6MH (Cu2+ and MH molar ratio of 6:1). Meanwhile, Cu6MH also exhibited efficient antioxidant and anti-inflammation function by down-regulating the expression of IL6, MMP13, and MMP3, and up-regulating cartilage specific gene expression as well. Importantly, Cu6MH could repair mitochondrial function by increasing mitochondrial membrane potential, reducing the accumulation of calcium ions, as well as promoting ATP content production. In OA joint model, intra-articular (IA) injected Cu6MH suppressed the progression of OA. It endowed that Cu6MH might be promising nanoenzymes for the prevention and treatment of various inflammatory diseases.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:963. [PMID: 35624827 PMCID: PMC9137647 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11050963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Revised: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Morin is a naturally occurring flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties. Therefore, we hypothesized that morin may prevent inflammatory bone loss by reducing oxidative stress. To investigate the effect of morin on inflammatory bone loss, mice were injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Osteoclasts (OCs) were analyzed by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and actin ring formation. Micro-computerized tomography analysis indicated that morin prevented LPS-induced bone loss in mice. In vivo TRAP staining indicated that morin decreased the number and surface of the OCs that were increased in LPS-treated mice. Furthermore, in vitro experiments indicated that morin decreased the number and activity of OCs upon LPS stimulation. Morin decreased actin ring-containing OCs with decreased activation of c-Src (Y416)/vav guanine nucleotide exchange factor 3/Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 compared with LPS alone. Morin decreased cytosolic reactive oxygen species (ROS), thus preventing the oxidation of Src homology region 2 domain-containing phosphatase 1 (SHP-1), followed by the inactivation of c-Src via direct interaction with SHP1. Conversely, SHP1 knockdown abolished the inhibitory effect of morin on OCs. Therefore, our findings suggest that morin disrupted cytoskeletal reorganization via an ROS/SHP1/c-Src axis in OCs, thereby granting protection from LPS-induced bone loss, which demonstrates its therapeutic potential against inflammatory bone loss.

Abstract
Kaempferol has been reported to exhibit beneficial effect on the osteogenic differentiation in mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and osteoblasts. In our previous study, dexamethasone (DEX) demonstrated inhibitory effect on MC3T3-E1 cells differentiation. In this study, we mainly explored the protective effect of kaempferol on the inhibitory activity of DEX in the osteogenesis of MC3T3-E1 cells. We found that kaempferol ameliorated the proliferation inhibition, cell cycle arrest, and cell apoptosis and increased the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and the mineralization in DEX-treated MC3T3-E1 cells. Kaempferol also significantly enhanced the expression of osterix (Osx) and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) in MC3T3-E1 cells treated with DEX. In addition, kaempferol attenuated DEX-induced reduction of cyclin D1 and Bcl-2 expression and elevation of p53 and Bax expression. Kaempferol also activated JNK and p38-MAPK pathways in DEX-treated MC3T3-E1 cells. Furthermore, kaempferol improved bone mineralization in DEX-induced bone damage in a zebrafish larvae model. These data suggested that kaempferol ameliorated the inhibitory activity of DEX in the osteogenesis of MC3T3-E1 cells by activating JNK and p38-MAPK signaling pathways. Kaempferol exhibited great potentials in developing new drugs for treating glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.

Abstract
Morin is a natural compound isolated from moraceae family members and has been reported to possess a range of pharmacological activities. However, the effects of morin on bone-associated disorders and the potential mechanism remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the anti-osteoclastogenic effect of morin in vitro and the potential therapeutic effects on ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis in vivo. In vitro, by using a bone marrow macrophage-derived osteoclast culture system, we determined that morin attenuated receptor activator of nuclear factor (NF)-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast formation via the inhibition of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), NF-κB and calcium pathways. In addition, the subsequent expression of nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1) and c-fos was significantly suppressed by morin. In addition, NFATc1 downregulation led to the reduced expression of osteoclastogenesis-related marker genes, such as V-ATPase-d2 and Integrin β3. In vivo, results provided that morin could effectively attenuate OVX-induced bone loss in C57BL/6 mice. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that morin suppressed RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis via the NF-κB, MAPK and calcium pathways, in addition, its function of preventing OVX-induced bone loss in vivo, which suggested that morin may be a potential therapeutic agent for postmenopausal osteoporosis treatment.

Abstract
Pathological mechanisms underlining diabetic bone defects include oxidative damage and insulin/IGF-1 imbalance. Morin is a bioflavonoid with antioxidant and anti-diabetic effects. This study evaluates morin's protective effects against altered bone histomorphometry in diabetic rats through assessing insulin/IGF-1 pathway as a potential mechanism. Diabetic animals were administered two morin doses (15 and 30 mg/kg) for 5 weeks. Different serum hepatic and renal functions tests were assessed. Bone density and histomorphometry in cortical and trabecular tissues were evaluated histologically. The expressions of insulin, c-peptide and IGF-1 were estimated. In addition, the enzymatic activities of the major antioxidant enzymes were determined. Diabetic-associated alterations in serum glucose, aminotransferases, urea and creatinine were attenuated by morin. Diabetic bone cortical and trabecular histomorphometry were impaired with increased fibrosis, osteoclastic functions, osteoid formation and reduced mineralization, which was reversed by morin; particularly the 30 mg/kg dose. Insulin/IGF-1 levels were diminished in diabetic animals, while morin treatment enhanced their levels significantly. Diabetes also triggered systemic oxidative stress noticeably. The higher dose (30 mg/kg) of morin corrected the endogenous antioxidant enzymatic activities in diabetic rats. Findings indicate the potential value of morin supplementation against hyperglycemia-induced skeletal impairments. Activation of insulin/IGF-1 signaling could be the underlining mechanism behind these effects.

Abstract
Flavonoids are natural plant-derived dietary bioactive compounds having a substantial impact on human health. Morin hydrate is a bioflavonoid mainly obtained from fruits, stem, and leaves of Moraceae family members' plants. Plenty of evidences supported that morin hydrate exerts its beneficial effects against various chronic and life-threatening degenerative diseases. Our current article discloses the recent advances that have been studied to explore the biological/pharmacological properties and molecular mechanisms to better understand the beneficial and multiple health benefits of morin hydrate. Indeed, Morin hydrate exerts free radical scavenging, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancerous, anti-microbial, antidiabetic, anti-arthritis, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, nephroprotective, and hepatoprotective effects. Moreover, morin hydrate exhibits its pharmacological activities by modulating various cellular signaling pathways such as Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-қB), Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), Janus kinases/ Signal transducer and activator of transcription proteins (JAKs/STATs), Kelch-like ECH-associated protein1/Nuclear erythroid-2-related factor (Keap1/Nrf2), Endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis, Wnt/β-catenin, and Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). Most importantly, morin hydrate has the potential to modulate a variety of biological networks. Therefore, it can be predicted that this therapeutically potent compound could serve as a dietary agent for the expansion of human health and might be helpful for the development of the novel drug in the future. However, due to the lack of clinical trials, special human clinical trials are needed to address the effects of morin hydrate on various life-threatening disparities to recommend morin and/or morin-rich foods with other foods or bioactive dietary components, as well as dose-response interaction and safety profile.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of combined application of Wuweizi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus) and dexamethasone in rats with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and the possible protective effect of Wuweizi against dexamethasone-induced glucocorticoid osteoporosis (GIOP). Methods There were five groups in this study, including the sham operation group, model group, Wuweizi group, dexamethasone group, and the combination group. A rat IPF model was made by the endotracheal injection of bleomycin. After modeling, rats were given drug interventions for 7 and 28 days. Rats were sacrificed for pathological morphology examination of the bone and lung and quantitative determination of biochemical markers of bone metabolism and angiogenesis-related cytokine to observe therapeutic efficacy on the 7th and 28th day. ELISA was used for the quantitative determination of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP), hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), and endostatin in serum. The concentrations of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) were detected with the automatic biochemical analyzer. Results After drug interventions for 7 and 28 days, alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis in treatment groups showed significant improvement compared with those in the model group (P < 0.05). Bone histopathological figures showed severely damaged trabecular bone and bone marrow cavity in the dexamethasone group, but it was significantly alleviated in the combination group. The concentrations of BALP and Ca in the combination group were significantly higher than those in the dexamethasone group after treatment, while the concentrations of TRACP and P were lower than those in the dexamethasone group (P < 0.05).

Abstract
Cuscuta chinensis Lam. (Convolvulaceae) is an important herbal medicine widely used to improve sexual function, treat osteoporosis, and prevent aging, and has been reported to exhibit anti-osteoporotic effects in vitro. However, the activity of Cuscuta chinensis Lam. on glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis still remains unclear. The present study aimed to assess the protective effect and the underlying mechanism of action of Cuscuta chinensis extract (CCE) against glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in vivo. Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups as follows: control group, osteoporosis group, and 2 CCE-treated osteoporosis groups (100 mg·kg-1·day-1). Blood samples and femur bones were collected for immunohistochemistry, biochemical, mRNA expression, and western blot analysis. HPLC analysis revealed that chlorogenic acid, quercetin, and hyperin were the major constituents of CCE. The results indicated that CCE increased bone length, bone weight, and bone mineral density and suppressed dexamethasone (DEX)-induced reduction in body weight. In addition, TRAP staining indicated that CCE reduced osteoclasts in DEX-induced osteoporosis rats. Mechanistically, CCE treatment alleviated the increase of bone resorption markers and the decline of osteogenic markers, which might be partially mediated by regulation of RANKL/OPG and RunX2 pathways. These results suggest that CCE showed promising effects in the protection against glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis through protecting osteoblasts and suppressing osteoclastogenesis.
