Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease caused by various factors such as aging, obesity, trauma, and genetics. It is a challenging condition faced by orthopedic doctors in clinical practice and places a heavy burden on patients and their families. Currently, the treatment of OA primarily focuses on symptomatic relief and lacks ideal therapeutic methods. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenolic compound with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and in recent years, it has gained attention as a candidate drug for OA treatment. This article provides an overview of the research status on the role and mechanisms of resveratrol in treating OA. It has been found that resveratrol can prevent the development of OA by inhibiting inflammatory responses, protecting chondrocytes, maintaining cartilage homeostasis, promoting autophagy, and has shown certain therapeutic effects. This process may be related to the regulation of signaling pathways such as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1). We summarize the current molecular mechanisms of resveratrol in treating OA, hoping to provide a reference for further research and application of resveratrol in OA treatment.

Abstract
Marmesin is essential in plant defense systems and exhibits various biological activities. In this study, we reconstituted the marmesin biosynthetic pathway in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741 chassis. We engineered the aromatic amino acid (AAA) biosynthetic pathways by introducing Escherichia coli-derived ppsA to improve the availability of the AAA precursor phosphoenolpyruvate, overexpressing the feedback inhibition resistance genes ARO4K229L and ARO7G141S to direct the metabolic flux toward the tyrosine branch, and deleting ARO10, PDC5, and PDC6 to reduce the byproducts from the Ehrlich pathway. The umbelliferone 6-dimethylallyltransferase (U6DT) and marmesin synthase (MS) involved in marmesin synthesis were optimized to increase marmesin production. Marmesin production was improved by truncating the transmembrane domains of PcU6DT, FcMS, and AtCPR1 and increasing the copy numbers of the genes encoding the truncated enzymes. Finally, a marmesin titer of 27.7 mg/L was obtained in shake flasks using the engineered yeast strain MU5. The constructed marmesin-producing strain provides the foundation for the green and large-scale production of pharmaceutically important furanocoumarins.

Abstract
Lignin is the most affluent natural aromatic biopolymer on the earth, which is the promising renewable source for valuable products to promote the sustainability of biorefinery. Flavonoids are a class of plant polyphenolic secondary metabolites containing the benzene ring structure with various biological activities, which are largely applied in health food, pharmaceutical, and medical fields. Due to the aromatic similarity, microbial conversion of lignin derived aromatics to flavonoids could facilitate flavonoid biosynthesis and promote the lignin valorization. This review thereby prospects a novel valorization route of lignin to high-value natural products and demonstrates the potential advantages of microbial bioconversion of lignin to flavonoids. The biodegradation of lignin polymers is summarized to identify aromatic monomers as momentous precursors for flavonoid synthesis. The biosynthesis pathways of flavonoids in both plants and strains are introduced and compared. After that, the key branch points and important intermediates are clearly discussed in the biosynthesis pathways of flavonoids. Moreover, the most significant enzyme reactions including Claisen condensation, cyclization and hydroxylation are demonstrated in the biosynthesis pathways of flavonoids. Finally, current challenges and potential future strategies are also discussed for transforming lignin into various flavonoids. The holistic microbial conversion routes of lignin to flavonoids could make a sustainable production of flavonoids and improve the feasibility of lignin valorization.

Abstract
Caffeic acid, a plant-sourced phenolic compound, has a variety of biological activities, such as antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. The caffeic acid biosynthetic pathway was initially constructed in S. cerevisiae, using codon-optimized TAL (coTAL, encoding tyrosine ammonia lyase) from Rhodobacter capsulatus, coC3H (encoding p-coumaric acid 3-hydroxylase) and coCPR1 (encoding cytochrome P450 reductase 1) from Arabidopsis thaliana in 2 μ multi-copy plasmids to produce caffeic acid from glucose. Then, integrated expression of coTAL via delta integration with the POT1 gene (encoding triose phosphate isomerase) as selection marker and episomal expression of coC3H, coCPR1 using the episomal plasmid pLC-c3 were combined, and caffeic acid production was proved to be improved. Next, the delta and rDNA multi-copy integration methods were applied to integrate the genes coC3H and coCPR1 into the chromosome of high p-coumaric acid yielding strain QT3-20. The strain D9 constructed via delta integration outperformed the other strains, leading to 50-fold increased caffeic acid production in optimized rich media compared with the initial construct. The intercomparison between three alternative multi-copy strategies for de novo synthesis of caffeic acid in S. cerevisiae suggested that delta-integration was effective in improving caffeic acid productivity, providing a promising strategy for the production of valuable bio-based chemicals in recombinant S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN) as a severe complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), is a crucial menace for human health and survival and remarkably elevates the healthcare systems' costs. Therefore, it is worth noting to identify novel preventive and therapeutic strategies to alleviate the disease conditions. Resveratrol, as a well-defined anti-diabetic/ antioxidant agent has capabilities to counteract diabetic complications. It has been predicted that resveratrol will be a fantastic natural polyphenol for diabetes therapy in the next few years. OBJECTIVE Accordingly, the current review aims to depict the role of resveratrol in the regulation of different signaling pathways that are involved in the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, inflammatory processes, autophagy, and mitochondrial dysfunction, as critical contributors to DN pathophysiology. RESULTS The pathogenesis of DN can be multifactorial; hyperglycemia is one of the prominent risk factors of DN development that is closely related to oxidative stress. Resveratrol, as a well-defined polyphenol, has various biological and medicinal properties, including anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidative effects. CONCLUSION Resveratrol prevents kidney damages that are caused by oxidative stress, enhances antioxidant capacity, and attenuates the inflammatory and fibrotic responses. For this reason, resveratrol is considered an interesting target in DN research due to its therapeutic possibilities during diabetic disorders and renal protection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND GOAL Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound found in Curcuma longa. This bioactive molecule has several reported health-benefit effects, being the anticarcinogenic activity among the most promising ones. However, curcumin extraction from natural sources is hampered by impure products obtained from harsh chemicals and limited by plant seasonality and high prices. Therefore, curcumin heterologous production emerged as an interesting alternative. Escherichia coli has been explored as chassis but the implementation of the pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae can have several advantages, including its generally regarded as safe status. Hence, S. cerevisiae was engineered for the first time to produce curcumin from its precursor ferulic acid. METHODS AND RESULTS The enzymes 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL1) from Arabidopsis thaliana or feruloyl-CoA synthetase (FerA) from Pseudomonas paucimobilis and type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) from Oryza sativa or C. longa were expressed in BY4741 strain. To avoid ferulic acid deviation, the gene FDC1 coding a ferulic acid decarboxylase was deleted. The maximum curcumin titer was obtained with FerA combined with C. longa PKSs (2.7 mg L-1 ). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Up to our knowledge, this is the first work reporting the expression of a feruloyl-CoA synthase and also curcuminoid biosynthetic enzymes in S. cerevisiae, and consequently, curcumin production.

Abstract
As a natural phenolic acid product of plant source, caffeic acid displays diverse biological activities and acts as an important precursor for the synthesis of other valuable compounds. Limitations in chemical synthesis or plant extraction of caffeic acid trigger interest in its microbial biosynthesis. Recently, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been reported for the biosynthesis of caffeic acid via episomal plasmid-mediated expression of pathway genes. However, the production was far from satisfactory and even relied on the addition of precursor. In this study, we first established a controllable and stable caffeic acid pathway by employing a modified GAL regulatory system to control the genome-integrated pathway genes in S. cerevisiae and realized biosynthesis of 222.7 mg/L caffeic acid. Combinatorial engineering strategies including eliminating the tyrosine-induced feedback inhibition, deleting genes involved in competing pathways, and overexpressing rate-limiting enzymes led to about 2.6-fold improvement in the caffeic acid production, reaching up to 569.0 mg/L in shake-flask cultures. To our knowledge, this is the highest ever reported titer of caffeic acid synthesized by engineered yeast. This work showed the prospect for microbial biosynthesis of caffeic acid and laid the foundation for constructing biosynthetic pathways of its derived metabolites. KEY POINTS: Genomic integration of ORgTAL, OHpaB, and HpaC for caffeic acid production in yeast. Feedback inhibition elimination and Aro10 deletion improved caffeic acid production. The highest ever reported titer (569.0 mg/L) of caffeic acid synthesized by yeast.

Abstract
To facilitate broad applications and enhance bioactivity, resveratrol was esterified to resveratrol butyrate esters (RBE). Esterification with butyric acid was conducted by the Steglich esterification method at room temperature with N-ethyl-N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) and 4-dimethyl aminopyridine (DMAP). Our experiments demonstrated the synthesis of RBE through EDC- and DMAP-facilitated esterification was successful and that the FTIR spectra of RBE revealed absorption (1751 cm−1) in the ester region. 13C-NMR spectrum of RBE showed a peak at 171 ppm corresponding to the ester group and peaks between 1700 and 1600 cm−1 in the FTIR spectra. RBE treatment (25 or 50 μM) decreased oleic acid-induced lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells. This effect was stronger than that of resveratrol and mediated through the downregulation of p-ACC and SREBP-2 expression. This is the first study demonstrating RBE could be synthesized by the Steglich method and that resulting RBE could inhibit lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells. These results suggest that RBE could potentially serve as functional food ingredients and supplements for health promotion.

Abstract
Caffeic acid is a plant phenolic compound possessing extensive pharmacological activities. Here, we identified that p-coumaric acid 3-hydroxylase from Arabidopsis thaliana was capable of hydroxylating p-coumaric acid to form caffeic acid in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Then, we introduced a combined caffeic acid biosynthetic pathway into S. cerevisiae and obtained 0.183 mg L-1 caffeic acid from glucose. Next we improved the tyrosine biosynthesis in S. cerevisiae by blocking the pathway flux to aromatic alcohols and eliminating the tyrosine-induced feedback inhibition resulting in caffeic acid production of 2.780 mg L-1. Finally, the medium was optimized, and the highest caffeic acid production obtained was 11.432 mg L-1 in YPD medium containing 4% glucose. This study opens a route to produce caffeic acid from glucose in S. cerevisiae and establishes a platform for the biosynthesis of caffeic acid derived metabolites.

Resveratrol prevents diabetic nephropathy by reducing chronic inflammation and improving the blood glucose memory effect in non-obese diabetic mice. Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol 2020; 393:2009-2017. [PMID: 31970441 DOI: 10.1007/s00210-019-01777-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2019] [Accepted: 11/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Chronic inflammation plays an important role in the development of diabetic nephropathy. Advanced glycation end product receptor (RAGE), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase 4 (NOX4) are involved in the development of inflammation. Resveratrol is a plant antitoxin; it is believed to have anti-inflammatory effects and can improve blood glucose. We speculate that resveratrol treatment can protect renal function by reducing blood glucose, decreasing the expression of inflammatory factors. Non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice were randomly divided into three groups: T1DM, insulin (INS) and resveratrol (Res) groups. Mice without diabetes were classified as the non-diabetic control group (NOD-C group). The blood glucose (BG) level, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level, serum creatinine (SCr) level and 24-h urinary microalbumin quantitative (UMA) were measured. The glomerulosclerosis index and basement membrane thickness were calculated under light and electron microscopes. The expression levels of RAGE, NF-кB (P65) and NOX4 in renal tissues were detected by Western blot analysis. We found that resveratrol treatment significantly reduced blood glucose within 28 days of the experiment, but the hypoglycemic effect was not lasting. At the same time, resveratrol reduced BUN, SCr, 24 h UMA and the expression of the inflammatory factors RAGE, NF-кB (P65) and NOX4 and improved the renal pathological structure. We believe that resveratrol improves renal function not only by its anti-inflammatory effect but also by improving the metabolic memory of hyperglycemia.

Abstract
β-Amyrin is a plant-derived triterpenoid skeleton with wide applications in food and medical industry. β-Amyrin biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is derived from the mevalonate pathway with cytosolic acetyl-CoA as a precursor. In this work, endogenous and several heterologous acetyl-CoA synthesis pathways were coupled to β-amyrin production and a combinational acetyl-CoA supply route was demonstrated to be optimal due to more balanced redox cofactors, much lower energy consumption, and glucose utilization as well as significantly enhanced β-amyrin production (a 200% increase compared to the original β-amyrin-producing strain). Further disruption of an acetyl-CoA competing pathway led to a 330% increase in β-amyrin production as compared to the original strain. Finally, the engineered strain harboring the optimal pathway configuration achieved a final β-amyrin production of 279.0 ± 13.0 mg/L in glucose fed-batch fermentation, which is the highest as ever reported. This work provides an efficient platform for triterpenoid biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The Effects of Resveratrol in the Treatment of Metabolic Syndrome. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20030535. [PMID: 30695995 PMCID: PMC6387422 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20030535] [Citation(s) in RCA: 78] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2018] [Revised: 01/22/2019] [Accepted: 01/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Resveratrol, also known as 3,5,4′-trihydroxystilbene, is a natural polyphenol that occurs as a phytoalexin. It is produced by plant sources such as grapes, apples, blueberries, plums, peanuts, and other oilseeds. This compound has a variety of effects on human health and diseases. This review summarizes the mounting evidence that resveratrol is helpful in treating metabolic syndrome and related disorders. Resveratrol can be provided either early as a reprogramming agent or later as part of treatment. A few of the main mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of resveratrol on metabolic syndrome are outlined. This review also discusses the potential of resveratrol derivatives as a complementary or alternative medicine. In conclusion, resveratrol could be a useful regimen for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome and its related conditions.
