SARS-CoV-2 inhibitory potential of fish oil-derived 2-pyrone compounds by acquiring linoleic acid binding site on the spike protein. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 275:133634. [PMID: 38964690 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133634] [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: 03/09/2024] [Revised: 06/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
Traditional medicines have reportedly treated SARS-CoV-2 infection. Substantial evidence shows that fish oil supplements promote human immune function, suggesting they may lessen susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection and suppress viral replication by inducing interferon. Fish oil was subjected to partition chromatography and separated into two compounds (EP01 and DH01). Isolated compounds were purified and characterized using UV, FTIR, NMR, and mass spectrometry to confirm their identity. Molecular docking was studied on the SARS CoV-2 variants of concern; SARS CoV-2 WT (PDB: 6VXX), SARS CoV-2 Alpha variant (PDB: 7LWS), SARS CoV-2 Delta variant (PDB: 7TOU), SARS CoV-2 Gamma variant (PDB: 7V78), SARS CoV-2 Kappa variant (PDB: 7VX9), and SARS CoV-2 Omicron variant (PDB: 7QO7) and TMPRSS2 (PDB: 7Y0E). Further selected protein-ligand complexes were subjected to 100 ns MD simulations to predict their biological potential in the SARS-CoV-2 treatment. In-vitro biological studies were carried out to support in-silico findings. Isolated compounds EP01 and DH01 were identified as 5-Tridecyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one and 5-Heptadecyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one, respectively. The compound EP01 significantly reduced (93.24 %) the viral RNA copy number with an IC50 of ~8.661 μM. EP01 proved to be a potent antiviral by in-vitro method against the SARS-CoV-2 clinical isolate, making it a promising antiviral candidate, with a single dose capable of preventing viral replication.

[PMID: 38552568 PMCID: PMC11000185 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.103660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Coccidiosis caused by Eimeria spp. results in substantial economic losses in the poultry industry. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids-enriched fish oil on growth performance, intestinal barrier integrity, and intestinal immune response of broilers challenged with Eimeria spp. A total of 576 fourteen-day-old broilers were randomly assigned in a completely randomized design with a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement, comprising 2 diets supplemented with either 5% fish oil or 5% soybean oil, and 3 Eimeria spp. infection levels: a nonchallenge control, a low dose of Eimeria challenge, and a high challenge dose. The results of the study revealed significant interactions between diet and Eimeria challenge to parameters of gut barrier integrity and feed intake. A significant interaction was observed in feed intake between 5 and 8 d postinfection (DPI), where the fish oil groups exhibited a higher amount of feed intake compared to the soybean oil diet groups after coccidiosis infection. The effects of the fish oil diet resulted in enhanced gut barrier integrity, as evidenced by a trend of decreased gastrointestinal leakage and a lower mean of small intestine lesion scores after Eimeria challenge. Additionally, significant interactions were noted between Eimeria spp. challenge and diet regarding jejunal crypt depth. The positive impact of the fish oil diet was particularly noticeable with the high Eimeria challenge dose. Overall, these findings underscore the relationship between the fish oil diet and Eimeria challenge on broiler chicken intestinal health. Dietary supplementation of fish oil has the potential to maintain small intestine barrier integrity with severe Eimeria infection conditions.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:5548. [PMID: 38791586 PMCID: PMC11122404 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25105548] [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: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
With the increasing rate of the antimicrobial resistance phenomenon, natural products gain our attention as potential drug candidates. Apart from being used as nutraceuticals and for biotechnological purposes, microalgae and phytoplankton have well-recognized antimicrobial compounds and proved anti-infectious potential. In this review, we comprehensively outline the antimicrobial activity of one genus of cyanobacteria (Arthrospira, formerly Spirulina) and of eukaryotic microalgae (Dunaliella). Both, especially Arthrospira, are mostly used as nutraceuticals and as a source of antioxidants for health supplements, cancer therapy and cosmetics. Their diverse bioactive compounds provide other bioactivities and potential for various medical applications. Their antibacterial and antifungal activity vary in a broad range and are strain specific. There are strains of Arthrospira platensis with very potent activity and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) as low as 2-15 µg/mL against bacterial fish pathogens including Bacillus and Vibrio spp. Arthrospira sp. has demonstrated an inhibition zone (IZ) of 50 mm against Staphylococcus aureus. Remarkable is the substantial amount of in vivo studies of Arthrospira showing it to be very promising for preventing vibriosis in shrimp and Helicobacter pylori infection and for wound healing. The innovative laser irradiation of the chlorophyll it releases can cause photodynamic destruction of bacteria. Dunaliella salina has exhibited MIC values lower than 300 µg/mL and an IZ value of 25.4 mm on different bacteria, while Dunaliella tertiolecta has demonstrated MIC values of 25 and 50 μg/mL against some Staphylococcus spp. These values fulfill the criteria for significant antimicrobial activity and sometimes are comparable or exceed the activity of the control antibiotics. The bioactive compounds which are responsible for that action are fatty acids including PUFAs, polysaccharides, glycosides, peptides, neophytadiene, etc. Cyanobacteria, such as Arthrospira, also particularly have antimicrobial flavonoids, terpenes, alkaloids, saponins, quinones and some unique-to-them compounds, such as phycobiliproteins, polyhydroxybutyrate, the peptide microcystin, etc. These metabolites can be optimized by using stress factors in a two-step process of fermentation in closed photobioreactors (PBRs).

Abstract
Protozoa exert a serious global threat of growing concern to human, and animal, and there is a need for the advancement of novel therapeutic strategies to effectively treat or mitigate the impact of associated diseases. Omega polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-PUFAs), including Omega-3 (ω-3) and omega-6 (ω-6), are constituents derived from various natural sources, have gained significant attention for their therapeutic role in parasitic infections and a variety of essential structural and regulatory functions in animals and humans. Both ω-3 and ω-6 decrease the growth and survival rate of parasites through metabolized anti-inflammatory mediators, such as lipoxins, resolvins, and protectins, and have both in vivo and in vitro protective effects against various protozoan infections. The ω-PUFAs have been shown to modulate the host immune response by a commonly known mechanism such as (inhibition of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolic process, production of anti-inflammatory mediators, modification of intracellular lipids, and activation of the nuclear receptor), and promotion of a shift towards a more effective immune defense against parasitic invaders by regulation the inflammation like prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxane, are involved in controlling the inflammatory reaction. The immune modulation may involve reducing inflammation, enhancing phagocytosis, and suppressing parasitic virulence factors. The unique properties of ω-PUFAs could prevent protozoan infections, representing an important area of study. This review explores the clinical impact of ω-PUFAs against some protozoan infections, elucidating possible mechanisms of action and supportive therapy for preventing various parasitic infections in humans and animals, such as toxoplasmosis, malaria, coccidiosis, and chagas disease. ω-PUFAs show promise as a therapeutic approach for parasitic infections due to their direct anti-parasitic effects and their ability to modulate the host immune response. Additionally, we discuss current treatment options and suggest perspectives for future studies. This could potentially provide an alternative or supplementary treatment option for these complex global health problems.

[PMID: 36356379 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2022.111863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Revised: 08/28/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) can decrease the risk of calcium oxalate stone formation, which accounts for 80% of all renal stones. This study aimed to investigate the protective mechanisms of PUFAs against renal stones. METHODS Urine samples of patients with renal stones and biopsy tissue samples from patients with nephrocalcinosis were tested for miR-93-5p expression. A renal stone mouse model was established with intraperitoneal injection of glyoxylic acid, during which mice were treated with PUFAs and/or an miR-93-5p inhibitor adenovirus. Periodic acid-Schiff staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling staining, oil red O staining, triacylglycerol assay, and colorimetry testing were performed to assess glycogen deposition, apoptosis, lipid accumulation, blood urea nitrogen, and serum creatinine levels, respectively. Renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (human kidney 2 [HK-2]) were subjected to gain- and loss-of-function assays before calcium-oxalate monohydrate (COM) induction and PUFA treatment. Cell counting kit 8, flow cytometry, and lactate dehydrogenase activity assays were used to examine cell viability, apoptosis, and damage. A luciferase reporter gene assay verified the interaction between miR-93-5p and Pknox1, and miR-93-5p and Pknox1 levels were assessed using a reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. RESULTS miR-93-5p was downregulated in clinical samples with renal stones and negatively targeted Pknox1. PUFAs increased miR-93-5p expression and reduced apoptosis, glycogen deposition, and lipid accumulation in mice with renal stones, which were annulled by miR-93-5p downregulation. PUFAs increased proliferation and diminished apoptosis, lipid accumulation, and lactate dehydrogenase activity in COM-induced HK-2 cells, which were negated by miR-93-5p inhibition. Pknox1 overexpression reversed the effect of miR-93-5p upregulation on COM-induced HK-2 cells. CONCLUSIONS PUFAs repressed renal stone-induced renal tubular damage via the miR-93-5p/Pknox1 axis.

Welfare issues and potential solutions for laying hens in free range and organic production systems: A review based on literature and interviews. Front Vet Sci 2022; 9:952922. [PMID: 35990274 PMCID: PMC9390482 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.952922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
In free-range and organic production systems, hens can make choices according to their needs and desires, which is in accordance with welfare definitions. Nonetheless, health and behavioral problems are also encountered in these systems. The aim of this article was to identify welfare challenges observed in these production systems in the EU and the most promising solutions to overcome these challenges. It is based on a review of published literature and research projects complemented by interviews with experts. We selected EU specific information for welfare problems, however, the selected literature regarding solutions is global. Free range use may increase the risk of infection by some bacteria, viruses and parasites. Preventive methods include avoiding contamination thanks to biosecurity measures and strengthening animals' natural defenses against these diseases which can be based on nutritional means with new diet components such as insect-derived products, probiotics and prebiotics. Phytotherapy and aromatherapy can be used as preventive and curative medicine and vaccines as alternatives to antibiotics and pesticides. Bone quality in pullets and hens prevents keel deviations and is favored by exercise in the outdoor range. Free range use also lead to higher exposure to variable weather conditions and predators, therefore shadow, fences and guard animals can be used to prevent heat stress and predation respectively. Granting a free range provides opportunities for the expression of many behaviors and yet many hens usually stay close to the house. Providing the birds with trees, shelters or attractive plants can increase range use. Small flock sizes, early experiences of enrichment and personality traits have also been found to enhance range use. Severe feather pecking can occur in free range production systems, although flocks using the outdoor area have better plumage than indoors. While many prevention strategies are facilitated in free range systems, the influence of genetics, prenatal and nutritional factors in free range hens still need to be investigated. This review provides information about practices that have been tested or still need to be explored and this information can be used by stakeholders and researchers to help them evaluate the applicability of these solutions for welfare improvement.

Lipidomics of Serum and Hippocampus Reveal the Protective Effects of Fermented Soybean Lipid on Rats of Microwave-Induced Cognitive Damage. ACS Chem Neurosci 2021; 12:2122-2132.

Abstract
Fermented soybean lipids (FSE-C) is an extract enriched in active lipid classes. To explore whether FSE-C can alleviate cognitive damage triggered by the exposure to microwave radiation through regulating lipid metabolism, we employed lipidomic profiling based on a UPLC-MS to investigate differential lipid metabolites in the serum and hippocampus of rats. The results showed that orally administered FSE-C could protect from cognitive damage in microwave-induced rats. Serum lipidomics indicated that FSE-C effectively facilitated the recovery of 43 differential lipid metabolites including 6 phosphatidylcholines (PCs), 5 phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs), 1 phosphatidylinositol, 3 lysophosphatidylcholines (LPCs), 6 lysophosphatidylethanolamines (LPEs), and 22 triglycerides (TGs), which was consistent with the analysis of serum TG levels. Moreover, FSE-C positively coordinated hexacosanoic acid, 2 PCs, 4 sphingomyelins (SMs), and 11 TGs, through the hippocampal lipidomics. Collectively, these findings suggested that phospholipid and TG metabolisms were significantly modified in microwave-exposed rats. TGs may be regarded as potential biomarkers to further investigate and evaluate the roles and functions of FSE-C on the attenuation of cognitive damage induced by microwave radiation.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. A metabolomic approach based on an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-Orbitrap analytical method was established to analyze the metabolites and to investigate the therapeutic mechanism of colchicine. Forty-six biomarkers were significantly changed between the sham group and the MI group. Thirty-five metabolites were increased and 11 were decreased in MI rats, and colchicine reversed all of them. Pathway analysis showed that the TCA cycle, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism and arginine biosynthesis were altered in the MI group. Ingenuity pathway function and network analysis showed that colchicine improved MI through regulation of cardiac β-adrenergic signaling and cardiac hypertrophy signaling. The present study provided a useful approach for exploring the mechanism of MI and evaluating the efficacy of colchicine.
