Abstract
Chinese cherry [Cerasus pseudocerasus (Lindl.) G.Don], native to China, is an economically important fruit crop with attractive colors and delicious flavors. However, the specific metabolites present in cherry fruits have remained unknown. Here, we firstly characterized 1439 metabolite components of Chinese cherry fruits, predominantly including amino acids, flavonoids, and phenolic acids. Moreover, we screened ten biomarkers of Chinese cherry accessions by ROC curve analysis. Among 250 flavonoids, 26 structurally unique anthocyanins collectively determined fruit color, with cyanidins playing a dominant role. Differences in accumulated metabolites between anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin pathways were likely responsible for the variation in fruit color, ranging from yellow to black purple. Meanwhile, we found limocitrin-7-O-glucoside, along with eight other compounds, as underlying contributors to bitter off-taste experienced in fruits. This study provides insights into the regulatory network of metabolites involved in color variation and bitterness formation and genetic improvement of Chinese cherry fruits.

The impact of dietary supplements on blood pressure in older adults: A network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Heliyon 2024; 10:e25615. [PMID: 38380006 PMCID: PMC10877265 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e25615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The prevalence of hypertension (HTN) increases with age and there is a need for effective, evidence-based treatments for HTN among older adults. The objective of this study was to perform a network meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of different forms of nutritional supplementation on reducing blood pressure in older adults. Methods A systematic review using PubMed and Clinical Key was performed to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the effects of dietary supplements on blood pressure in adults older than 65 years of age. Network meta-analysis (NMA) was used to compare and rank the effects of different supplements on systolic (sBP), diastolic (dBP), and mean (mBP) blood pressure. Supplements were ranked according to P score. Meta-regressions were conducted to examine whether treatment effects were moderated by baseline BP and supplementation duration. Findings We identified 144 relevant studies in the literature, twelve of which met criteria for inclusion in NMA. The included studies were published between 2003 and 2022. In reducing sBP, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), inorganic nitrates, tart cherry juice, and vitamin D supplementation were more effective than placebo, and the effect of tart cherry juice outranked that of vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K2. In reducing dBP, inorganic nitrates, DHA and EPA, protein, resveratrol, and vitamin D supplementation were more effective than placebo, and the effect of resveratrol outranked that of tart cherry juice, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K2. However, the effects of tart cherry juice on sBP and resveratrol on dPB were smaller than the pooled effect of placebo, and none of the pairwise differences between the effects of examined supplements were statistically significant. Caution is needed when interpreting these results given concerns about the risk of bias assessed in seven of the twelve studies included in this analysis.

Abstract
Chlorogenic acid (CGA) has been confirmed as a polyphenol, and existing research has suggested the high bioactivity of CGA for therapeutic effects on a wide variety of diseases. Despite the existing reports of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects of CGA, the role and mechanism of CGA in facilitating the regeneration of peripheral nerve defects have been rarely investigated. Herein, a biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL) conduit with embedded CGA-releasing GelMA microspheres (CGM/PCL) was successfully prepared and used for repairing a rate model with sciatic nerve defects. CGM and CGM/PCL conduits displayed high in vitro biocompatibility and can support the growth of cells for nerve regeneration. Furthermore, CGM/PCL conduits displayed high performance which is close to that of autologous nerve grafts in promoting in vivo PNI regeneration, compared with PCL conduits. The sciatic nerve functional index analysis, electrophysiological examination, and immunological analysis performed to evaluate the functional recovery of the injurious sciatic nerve of rats have indeed proved the favorable effects of CGM/PCL conduits. The result of this study not only aimed to explore CGA's contribution to nerve regeneration but also provided a new strategy for designing and preparing functional NGCs for PNI treatment.

Abstract
P. pseudocerasus and P. tomentosa are the two native Chinese cherry species of high economic and ornamental worths. Little is known about the metabolic information of P. pseudocerasus and P. tomentosa. Effective means are lacking for distinguishing these two similar species. In this study, the differences in total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and in vitro antioxidant activities in 21 batches of two species of cherries were compared. A comparative UPLC-QTOF/MS-based metabolomics coupled with three machine learning algorithms was established for differentiating the cherry species. The results demonstrated that P. tomentosa had higher TPC and TFC with average content differences of 12.07 times and 39.30 times, respectively, and depicted better antioxidant activity. Total of 104 differential compounds were identified by UPLC-QTOF/MS metabolomics. The major differential compounds were flavonoids, organooxygen compounds, and cinnamic acids and derivatives. Correlation analysis revealed differences in flavonoids content such as procyanidin B1 or isomer and (Epi)catechin. They could be responsible for differences in antioxidant activities between the two species. Among three machine learning algorithms, the prediction accuracy of support vector machine (SVM) was 85.7%, and those of random forest (RF) and back propagation neural network (BPNN) were 100%. BPNN exhibited better classification performance and higher prediction rate for all testing set samples than those of RF. The study herein found that P. tomentosa had higher nutritional value and biological functions, and thus considered for usage in health products. Machine models based on untargeted metabolomics can be effective tools for distinguishing these two species.

Abstract
Quercetin is a plant-derived polyphenol flavonoid that has been proven to be effective for many diseases. However, the mechanism and in vivo metabolism of quercetin remains to be clarified. It achieves a wide range of biological effects through various metabolites, gut microbiota and its metabolites, systemic mediators produced by inflammation and oxidation, as well as by multiple mechanisms. The all-round disease treatment of quercetin is achieved through the organic combination of multiple channels. Therefore, this article clarifies the metabolic process of quercetin in the body, and explores the new pattern of action of quercetin in the treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Natural products with good antioxidative properties have been paid increased attention globally. However, due to its chemical complexity, it is difficult to find out its antioxidative compounds. Herein, the chemical profiling and antioxidant capacity of CiNingJi (CNJ) were analyzed, as an example. By using UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS, a total of 82 compounds were tentatively deduced. Furthermore, its free radical scavenging capacity was assessed by different in vitro spectrophotometric-based assays. The result showed that one ingredient, Rosa roxburghii, plays a critical role in its antioxidant activity. In addition, 18 potential antioxidants were screened out in CNJ by comparing the difference of it with and without DPPH reaction. They were identified mainly as catechin, ellagic acid, kajiichigoside F1, and their derivatives or isomers. With the further quantification of major found antioxidants, our results may provide some knowledge on predicting the antioxidative compounds of natural products.

Abstract
Kidney dysfunction is particularly important in systemic organ injuries caused by aging. Metabolomics are utilized in this study to explore the mechanism of kidney dysfunction during aging by the identification of metabolites and the characterization of metabolic pathways. We analyzed the serum biochemistry and kidney histopathology of male Kunming mice aged 3 months and 24 months and found that the aged mice had inflammatory lesions, aggravated fibrosis, and functional impairment. A high-resolution untargeted metabolomics analysis revealed that the endogenous metabolites in the kidneys and urine of the mice were significantly changed by 25 and 20 metabolites, respectively. A pathway analysis of these differential metabolites revealed six key signaling pathways, namely, D-glutamine and D-glutamate metabolism, purine metabolism, the citrate cycle [tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle], histidine metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, and glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism. These pathways are involved in amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and nucleotide metabolism, and these can lead to immune regulation, inflammatory responses, oxidative stress damage, cellular dysfunction, and bioenergy disorders, and they are closely associated with aging and kidney insufficiency. We also screened nine types of sensitive metabolites in the urine as potential biomarkers of kidney dysfunction during the aging process to confirm their therapeutic targets in senior-induced kidney dysfunction and to improve the level of risk assessment for senile kidney injury.
