Wu J, Li J, Shao W, Hu Y, Chen H, Chen Y, Chen Y, Liu Q, Ao M. Cyclodextrins as therapeutic drugs for treating lipid metabolism disorders. Obes Rev 2024; 25:e13687. [PMID: 38204297 DOI: 10.1111/obr.13687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study sought to systematically compare the efficacy and mechanism of cyclodextrins as drug interventions in lipid metabolism diseases, potentially providing ideas for subsequent research directions and clinical applications. METHODS We used the bibliometric method for feature mining, applied VOSviewer software for clustering analysis, and applied content analysis for objective descriptions and accurate analysis. RESULTS (1) We collected more than 50 studies, which is the basic database of this study. (2) The academic bubble map showed that this research area was popular in the United States. (3) Cluster analysis showed that the intensively studied diseases in this field were Niemann-Pick type C (NPC), atherosclerosis (AS), and obesity. The hot-spot cyclodextrin types were HP-β-CD. (4) Literature measurement revealed the involvement of 15 types of lipid metabolism diseases. Among them, NPC, diabetes, and obesity were studied in clinical trials. Dyslipidemia and AS have been reported relatively more frequently in animal experiments. The studies of cellular experiments provide insight into the molecular mechanisms that intervene in lipid metabolism diseases from multiple perspectives. The exploration of the molecular mechanisms by which cyclodextrins exert their pharmacological effects mainly revolves around lipid metabolism. CONCLUSION It is worthwhile to investigate the role and mechanism of cyclodextrins in other lipid metabolism diseases. The potential efficacy evaluation of cyclodextrins as pharmaceutical drugs for oral or injectable formulations is less studied and may become a new focus in the future.

Brain Behav 2023; 13:e3275. [PMID: 37837628 PMCID: PMC10726784 DOI: 10.1002/brb3.3275] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) seriously threatens the health of people. In addition, microglia M1 polarization was confirmed to be involved in the progression of ICH. Rosiglitazone was able to be used as an antidiabetic agent, which could activate PPAR-γ, and PPAR-γ was reported to inhibit inflammation in microglia. However, the detailed function of Rosiglitazone in ICH remains unclear. METHODS In vivo and in vitro experiments were used to test the function of Rosiglitazone in ICH. In addition, RT-qPCR and western blot were performed to evaluate the mRNA and protein level of PPAR-γ, respectively. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect the levels of CD206 and CD86, and ELISA was used to measure the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. RESULTS PPAR-γ was downregulated in ICH mice, whereas p-JNK and p-STAT3 were upregulated. Thrombin notably downregulated the level of PPAR-γ in BV2 cells, whereas Rosiglitazone partially reversed this phenomenon. In addition, Rosiglitazone markedly reversed thrombin-induced microglia M1 polarization. Consistently, thrombin-induced inflammatory response in BV2 cells was abolished in the presence of Rosiglitazone. SP600125 (JNK/STAT3 inhibitor) greatly reversed thrombin-induced M1 polarization in microglia, and GW9662 abolished the effect of SP600125. Meanwhile, Rosiglitazone could inactivate JNK/STAT3 pathway through the upregulation of PPAR-γ. Furthermore, Rosiglitazone notably alleviated the symptom of ICH in vivo through inhibiting the apoptosis and mediating PPAR-γ/JNK/STAT3 axis. CONCLUSION Rosiglitazone could attenuate the inflammation in ICH through inhibiting microglia M1 polarization. Thus, our research would shed now lights on exploring new therapeutic strategies against ICH.

Abstract
Conazole fungicides such as epoxiconazole are mostly used on cereals of crops to inhibit fungal growth through direct inhibition of sterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51A1). However, this enzyme is highly conserved and in humans it is part of the steroid hormone biosynthesis pathway. Endocrine disrupting effects of epoxiconazole have been shown in rodents and have been substantiated by in vitro data, however, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not clear. We took advantage of a human stem cell based in vitro model for developmental toxicity to study the molecular effects of epoxiconazole. This model is based on 3D cultures of embryoid bodies and differentiation into cardiomyocytes, which mimics the early stages of embryonic development. We have previously shown that epoxiconazole impairs differentiation of these embryoid bodies and therefore has the potential to affect human embryonic development. We employed global transcriptome analysis using RNA sequencing and found that the steroid biosynthesis pathway including CYP51A1, the human sterol 14α-demethylase, was highly deregulated by epoxiconazole in our model. We confirmed that most genes of the steroid biosynthesis pathway were upregulated, including CYP51A1, suggesting a compensatory mechanism at the gene expression level. Our data suggest that epoxiconazole acts mainly by decreasing cholesterol biosynthesis in the cells. We conclude that epoxiconazole bears the potential to harm human embryonic development through inhibition of the steroid biosynthesis pathway. As this may be a common feature of compounds that target sterol 14α-demethylase, we add evidence to the assumption that conazole fungicides may be human developmental toxicants.

Abstract
Epigenetic reprogramming and autophagy have critical roles in differentiation of stem cells. However, very little is known about how epigenetic modifications are mediated and how they contribute to autophagy and differentiation in human cardiac stem cells (hCSCs). Previously, we have reported that intracellular matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9), a collagenase, mediates cell death in hCSCs. Here, we investigated whether intracellular MMP9 mediates epigenetic modifications and autophagy in hCSCs. We created MMP9KO hCSCs and treated them with 5-azacytidine, an inhibitor of DNA methylation, and bafilomycin A1, an inhibitor of autophagosome degradation, and evaluated epigenetic modifications, autophagic flux, and differentiation. Our results showed compromised epigenetic modifications, reduced autophagy, and impaired differentiation in MMP9KO hCSCs. Remarkably, paracrine MMP9 supplementation restored epigenetic modifications but further reduced autophagy in MMP9KO hCSCs. We conclude that intracellular MMP9 is a critical mediator of epigenetic modifications and autophagy in hCSCs. Furthermore, the endocrine and paracrine effects of MMP9 vary for regulating autophagy in hCSCs. These novel roles of MMP9 are valuable for stem cell therapy.

Abstract
Supramolecular encapsulation removes harmful substances from organisms has evolved into a new strategy. In this article, we prepared three supramolecular complexes of acyclic cucurbit[n]urils (ACBs) with uric acid (UA), and studied the inclusion behaviors of ACBs and UA by fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. Furthermore, we characterized the effect of the complexes of UA with ACBs on the expression of inflammatory biomarkers in human hepatoma HepG2 cell lines through C-reactive protein (CRP) western blot. The results showed UA molecules can be recognized by three ACBs with different binding constants, and ACBs successfully blocked the inflammatory stimulation of uric acid on HepG2 cell lines and inhibited the expression of the major inflammatory factor CRP by formations of complexes between UA and ACBs. This article proves that ACBs can efficiently reversing cytotoxicity of UA, which provides a new method to treating hyperuricemia disease.

Abstract
There have been many reviews of the cyclic oligosaccharide cyclodextrin (CD) and CD-based materials used for drug delivery, but the capacity of CDs to complex different agents and their own intrinsic properties suggest they might also be considered for use as active drugs, not only as carriers. The aim of this review is to summarize the direct use of CDs as drugs, without using its complexing potential with other substances. The direct application of another oligosaccharide called cyclic nigerosyl-1,6-nigerose (CNN) is also described. The review is divided into lipid-related diseases, aggregation diseases, antiviral and antiparasitic activities, anti-anesthetic agent, function in diet, removal of organic toxins, CDs and collagen, cell differentiation, and finally, their use in contact lenses in which no drug other than CDs are involved. In the case of CNN, its application as a dietary supplement and immunological modulator is explained. Finally, a critical structure-activity explanation is provided.

Abstract
Blood vessels serve an important role in tumor growth and metastasis, and recent studies have shown that certain tumor cancer stem cells may differentiate into endothelial cells and contribute to angiogenesis. In the present study, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was used to induce endothelial differentiation of breast cancer stem‑like cells (BCSLCs), and methods including flow cytometry, western blotting and immunofluorescence were used to study the relationship between autophagy and the endothelial differentiation of BCSLCs. The results showed that BCSLCs could differentiate into endothelial cells under the induction of VEGF in vitro. Subsequently, the role of autophagy in the endothelial differentiation of BCSLCs was examined. Autophagic activity was measured during endothelial differentiation of BCSLCs, and the association between autophagy and endothelial differentiation was investigated using autophagy activators, autophagy inhibitors and autophagy related 5 (Atg5)‑knockdown BCSLCs. Autophagy was increased during endothelial differentiation of BCSLCs, and there was a positive association between autophagy and endothelial differentiation. The ability of cells to undergo endothelial differentiation was reduced in BCSLCs with Atg5 knockdown. Therefore, autophagy was essential for endothelial differentiation of BCSLCs, and the findings of the present study may highlight novel potential avenues for reducing angiogenesis and improving treatment of breast cancer.

Autophagy in Stem Cell Biology: A Perspective on Stem Cell Self-Renewal and Differentiation. Stem Cells Int 2018; 2018:9131397.

Abstract
Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular process that degrades modified, surplus, or harmful cytoplasmic components by sequestering them in autophagosomes which then fuses with the lysosome for degradation. As a major intracellular degradation and recycling pathway, autophagy is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis, as well as for remodeling during normal development. Impairment of this process has been implicated in various diseases, in the pathogenic response to bacterial and viral infections, and in aging. Pluripotent stem cells, with their ability to self-replicate and to give rise to any specialized cell type, are very valuable resources for cell-based medical therapies and open a number of promising avenues for studying human development and disease. It has been suggested that autophagy is vital for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis in stem cells, and subsequently more in-depth knowledge about the regulation of autophagy in stem cell biology has been acquired recently. In this review, we describe the most significant advances in the understanding of autophagy regulation in hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells, as well as in induced pluripotent stem cells. In particular, we highlight the roles of various autophagy activities in the regulation of self-renewal and differentiation of these stem cells.
