Abstract
Isatis indigotica Fortune is a biennial Chinese woad of the Cruciferae family. It is primarily cultivated in China, where it was a staple in indigo dye manufacture till the end of the 17th century. Today, I. indigotica is used primarily as a therapeutic herb in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The medicinal use of the plant is separated into its leaves (Da-Qing-Ye) and roots (Ban-Lan-Gen), whereas its aerial components can be processed into a dried bluish-spruce powder (Qing-Dai), following dehydration for long-term preservation. Over the past several decades, I. indigotica has been generally utilized for its heat-clearing effects and bodily detoxification in TCM, attributed to the presence of several classes of bioactive compounds, including organic acids, alkaloids, terpenoids, and flavonoids, as well as lignans, anthraquinones, glucosides, glucosinolates, sphingolipids, tetrapyrroles, and polysaccharides. This paper aims to delineate I. indigotica from its closely-related species (Isatis tinctoria and Isatis glauca) while highlighting the ethnomedicinal uses of I. indigotica from the perspectives of modern and traditional medicine. A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, PMC, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases was done for articles on all aspects of the plant, emphasizing those analyzing the bioactivity of constituents of the plant. The various key bioactive compounds of I. indigotica that have been found to exhibit anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, and anti-allergic properties, along with the protective effects against neuronal injury and bone fracture, will be discussed. Collectively, the review hopes to draw attention to the therapeutic potential of I. indigotica not only as a TCM, but also as a potential source of bioactive compounds for disease management and treatment.

Abstract
In X-ALD, mutation/deletion of ALD gene (ABCD1) and the resultant very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) derangement has dramatically opposing effects in astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. While loss of Abcd1 in astrocytes produces a robust inflammatory response, the oligodendrocytes undergo cell death leading to demyelination in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD). The mechanisms of these distinct pathways in the two cell types are not well understood. Here, we investigated the effects of Abcd1-knockdown and the subsequent alteration in VLCFA metabolism in human U87 astrocytes and rat B12 oligodendrocytes. Loss of Abcd1 inhibited peroxisomal β-oxidation activity and increased expression of VLCFA synthesizing enzymes, elongase of very long chain fatty acids (ELOVLs) (1 and 3) in both cell types. However, higher induction of ELOVL's in Abcd1-deficient B12 oligodendrocytes than astrocytes suggests that ELOVL pathway may play a prominent role in oligodendrocytes in X-ALD. While astrocytes are able to maintain the cellular homeostasis of anti-apoptotic proteins, Abcd1-deletion in B12 oligodendrocytes downregulated the anti-apototic (Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL) and cell survival (phospho-Erk1/2) proteins, and upregulated the pro-apoptotic proteins (Bad, Bim, Bax and Bid) leading to cell loss. These observations provide insights into different cellular signaling mechanisms in response to Abcd1-deletion in two different cell types of CNS. The apoptotic responses were accompanied by activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9 suggesting the involvement of mitochondrial-caspase-9-dependent mechanism in Abcd1-deficient oligodendrocytes. Treatment with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) corrected the VLCFA derangement both in vitro and in vivo, and inhibited the oligodendrocytes loss. These observations provide a proof-of principle that HDAC inhibitor SAHA may have a therapeutic potential for X-ALD.

Dietary supplementation with long-chain monounsaturated fatty acids attenuates obesity-related metabolic dysfunction and increases expression of PPAR gamma in adipose tissue in type 2 diabetic KK-Ay mice. Nutr Metab (Lond) 2013; 10:16. [PMID: 23360495 PMCID: PMC3570324 DOI: 10.1186/1743-7075-10-16] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2012] [Accepted: 01/27/2013] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
The objective of present study was to examine the effect of long-chain monounsaturated fatty acids (LC-MUFAs) with chain lengths longer than 18 (i.e., C20:1 and C22:1 isomers combined) on obesity-related metabolic dysfunction and its molecular mechanisms. Type-2 diabetic KK-Ay mice (n = 20) were randomly assigned to the 7% soybean oil-diet group (control group) and 4% LC-MUFA concentrate-supplemented-diet group (LC-MUFA group). At 8 weeks on the diet, the results showed that plasma, liver and adipose tissue levels of C20:1 and C22:1 isomers increased significantly with LC-MUFA treatment. Supplementation with LC-MUFAs markedly reduced white fat pad weight as well as adipocyte size in the mice. The levels of plasma free fatty acids, insulin, and leptin concentration in the obese diabetic mice of the LC-MUFA group were also decreased as compared with the mice in the soybean oil-diet control group. Dietary LC-MUFAs significantly increased the mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (Pparg), lipoprotein lipase (Lpl), fatty acid transport protein (Fatp), fatty acid translocase/CD36 (Cd36), as well as mRNA expression of genes involved in lipid oxidation such as carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1A (Cpt1a) and citrate synthase (Cs), and decreased the mRNA expression of inflammatory marker serum amyloid A 3 (Saa3) in the adipose tissues of diabetic mice. The results suggest that LC-MUFAs may ameliorate obesity-related metabolic dysfunction partly through increased expression of Pparg as well as its target genes, and decreased inflammatory marker expression in white adipose tissue.

Abstract
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD; OMIM #300100) is caused by defects of the ABCD1 gene on chromosome Xq28, resulting in an impairment of peroxisomal beta-oxidation and the accumulation of saturated very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). Primary manifestations occur in the CNS, the adrenal cortex and the testes' Leydig cells. The clinical presentation shows a marked variability which is not explained by the different X-ALD genotypes. Phenotypes range from rapidly progressive cerebral disease with childhood (childhood cerebral ALD [CCALD]) or adulthood (adult cerebral ALD [ACALD]) onset leading to death within a few years, over adult-onset adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) with or without focal CNS demyelination, AMN converting into a rapidly progressive, cerebral demyelinating phenotype resembling CCALD, to slow disease progression over decades, or adrenal insufficiency only. Approximately 50% of female heterozygotes develop moderate spastic paresis resembling the AMN phenotype. This review focuses on current experiences with different therapeutic approaches. Lorenzo's oil did not prove to be effective in cerebral inflammatory disease variants, but asymptomatic patients, and speculatively AMN variants without cerebral involvement, as well as female carriers may benefit from early intake of oleic and erucic acids in addition to VLCFA restriction. Hormone-replacement therapy is necessary in all patients with adrenal insufficiency. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been reported to be effective in presymptomatic or early symptomatic CCALD, and may well also be a final therapeutic option in early ACALD patients. Early detection of mutation carriers and timely initiation of therapy is important for the effectiveness of all therapeutic efforts. Gene therapy of endogenous hematopoietic stem cells, pharmacological upregulation of other genes encoding proteins involved in peroxisomal beta-oxidation, reduction of oxidative stress, and possibly lovastatin are candidates for future X-ALD therapies.

Abstract
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a clinically heterogeneous disorder ranging from the severe childhood cerebral form to asymptomatic persons. The overall incidence is 1:16,800 including hemizygotes as well as heterozygotes. The principal molecular defect is due to inborn mutations in the ABCD1 gene encoding the adrenoleukodystrophy protein (ALDP), a transporter in the peroxisome membrane. ALDP is involved in the transport of substrates from the cytoplasm into the peroxisomal lumen. ALDP defects lead to characteristic accumulation of saturated very long-chain fatty acids, the diagnostic disease marker. The pathogenesis is unclear. Different molecular mechanisms seem to induce inflammatory demyelination, neurodegeneration and adrenocortical insufficiency involving the primary ABCD1 defect, environmental factors and modifier genes. Important information has been derived from the X-ALD mouse models; species differences however complicate the interpretation of results. So far, bone marrow transplantation is the only effective long-term treatment for childhood cerebral X-ALD, however, only when performed at an early-stage of disease. Urgently needed novel therapeutic strategies are under consideration ranging from dietary approaches to gene therapy.

Abstract
Our objective was to study the phenotype evolution of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) and the relation between axonal degeneration and cerebral demyelination. Although different X-ALD phenotypes are recognized, little is known about their evolution. Neuropathological and electrophysiological studies have shown that X-ALD is a disease with mixed features of axonal degeneration, leading to myeloneuropathy, and a severe inflammatory reaction in the cerebral white matter, resulting in demyelination. Retrospectively, 129 men with X-ALD were studied who were 1) at least 20 years presently or at the time of death, and 2) regularly monitored. Phenotype assignments were made at diagnosis and at present, or at death, using medical history and findings of neurological examination. Handicap was studied with the modified Rankin scale, and cerebral abnormalities with the X-ALD MRI severity (Loes) score. The mean follow-up interval was 10.1 +/- 5.0 years. Among 32 patients neurologically asymptomatic at diagnosis, 16 (50%) developed neurological deficits. Among 68 adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) patients initially without clinical brain involvement, 13 (19%) additionally developed cerebral demyelination. In a subset of 60 AMN patients, a moderate handicap evolved over a period of 16.2 +/- 8.9 years. Among 13 AMN patients with additional definite or probable cerebral involvement at diagnosis, eight died and one remained in a vegetative state. Most of the 16 patients with the cerebral phenotypes deteriorated. There is a high risk for adult neurologically asymptomatic patients to develop neurological deficits and for AMN patients to develop cerebral demyelination. Axonal degeneration and cerebral demyelination emerge in X-ALD independently of each other. This may have implications for the phenotype classification, the search for modifying factors, and the development and evaluation of new therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is an inherited disorder of peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation, biochemically characterised by the accumulation of saturated very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), particularly hexacosanoic acid (C26:0). Dietary treatment with a 4:1 mixture of glyceroltrioleate and glyceroltrierucate ("Lorenzo's oil") normalises plasma VLCFA concentrations, but neither ameliorates nor arrests the rapid progression of neurological symptoms in the cerebral variants of X-ALD. The efficacy of "Lorenzo's oil" in the milder phenotypes of X-ALD was assessed, as this has been much less investigated. METHODS Twenty two patients who were treated with "Lorenzo's oil" for at least 12 months for a median period of 2.5 (range 1.0-6.0) years were studied. Two had asymptomatic ALD, four the "Addison only" variant, 13 adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), and three were symptomatic female carriers. RESULTS The plasma C26:0 concentration normalised or near normalised in 19 patients (86%), in the three others it decreased significantly. Nevertheless, disability as measured with the extended disability status scale score increased mildly (0.5 (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.25-1.0)) in the 16 patients with neurological symptoms. Furthermore, one "Addison only" patient and one patient with AMN developed cerebral demyelination, and another "Addison only" patient developed AMN. Adrenocortical insufficiency evolved in one patient with AMN, and hypogonadism in one patient with asymptomatic ALD and two patients with AMN. Nerve conduction, evoked potential studies (SEP, BAEP, VEP), and abnormalities on cerebral MRI did not improve. On the other hand, side effects were often noted-namely, mild increases in liver enzymes (55%), thrombocytopenia (55%), gastrointestinal complaints (14%), and gingivitis (14%). We also found a mild decrease in haemoglobin concentration and leucocyte count. CONCLUSIONS The data suggest that treatment with "Lorenzo's oil" neither improved neurological or endocrine function nor arrested progression of the disease. Furthermore, the oil often induced adverse effects. Therefore, it is advocated that "Lorenzo's oil" should not be prescribed routinely to patients with X-ALD who already have neurological deficits.

Abstract
Human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) were exposed to erucic acid or erucic acid anilide to explore their effects on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the levels of free intracellular calcium. The compounds did not change the levels of intracellular calcium, but both dose-dependently induced respiratory burst in PMNL. Maximal production of ROS by erucic acid exceeded that induced by its anilide 13-fold. A protein kinase C inhibitor, Ro 31-8220, completely inhibited erucic acid and erucic acid anilide-induced production of ROS. Neither erucic acid nor erucic acid anilide modified FMLP-induced production of ROS. However, erucic acid (500 microM) amplified 5 nM PMA-induced ROS production 1.8-fold, but did not have this effect at a lower PMA concentration. On the contrary, erucic acid anilide inhibited PMA-induced oxidative burst, and shifted the peak ROS production induced by PMA to a later time-point. The present results show that aniline moiety modifies the effects of erucic acid on the activation of PMNL, and suggest that both erucic acid and erucic acid anilide may activate PMNL through a protein kinase C-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
X linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is an inherited disorder of peroxisomal metabolism, biochemically characterised by accumulation of saturated very long chain fatty acids. Accumulation of these fatty acids is associated with cerebral demyelination, peripheral nerve abnormalities, and adrenocortical and testicular insufficiency. The lowest estimated birth incidence is one per 100,000. At least six phenotypes can be distinguished, of which the two most frequent are childhood cerebral ALD and adrenomyeloneuropathy. The X-ALD gene has been identified, but thus far no relation between genotype and phenotype has been found. Diagnosis is relatively easy and can be confirmed reliably, and prenatal testing is possible in affected families. Several therapeutic options, some with promising perspectives, are available. Neurologists and other physicians seem not to be familiar with the many facets of X-ALD. In this review, the clinical presentation, the relative frequencies of the different phenotypes, and the diagnostic and therapeutic options are presented.

Abstract
Japanese patients with peroxisomal disorders in the pediatric field were screened. Very long chain fatty acid analysis in the serum sphingomyelin was introduced since 1987 and was useful for the first screening of peroxisomal disorders. Seventy-five patients were diagnosed since 1980: 15 patients with Zellweger syndrome, 2 with neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), 1 with rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata, 1 with Zellweger-like syndrome. 2 with acyl-CoA oxidase deficiency, 2 with bifunctional enzyme deficiency and 52 with X-linked ALD. The incidence of peroxisome-deficient disorders was estimated to be approximately 1 in 800,000 births which is far less than that in the USA. However, the incidence in Okinawa Islands was 1 in 30,000. Japanese Zellweger patients belonged to 5 complementation groups (A, B, C, E, F) and the patients in Okinawa Islands belonged to groups A and C. The results of this screening were useful for genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis, carrier detection and early medical care of patients with peroxisomal disorders.
