Wei B, Li H, Han T, Luo Q, Yang M, Qin Q, Chen Y, Wei S. Effects of dietary salidroside on intestinal health, immune parameters and intestinal microbiota in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 151:109750. [PMID: 38969153 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2024] [Revised: 06/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/07/2024]
Abstract
The largemouth bass has become one of the economically fish in China, according to the latest China Fishery Statistical Yearbook. The farming scale is constantly increasing. Salidroside has been found in past studies to have oxidative stress reducing and immune boosting properties. In this study, the addition of six different levels of salidroside supplements were 0、40、80、120、160 and 200 mg/kg. A 56-day feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of salidroside on the intestinal health, immune parameters and intestinal microbiota composition of largemouth bass. Dietary addition of salidroside significantly affected the Keap-1β/Nrf-2 pathway as well as significantly increased antioxidant enzyme activities resulting in a significant increase in antioxidant capacity of largemouth bass. Dietary SLR significantly reduced feed coefficients. The genes related to tight junction proteins (Occludin, ZO-1, Claudin-4, Claudin-5) were found to be significantly upregulated in the diet supplemented with salidroside, indicating that salidroside can improve the intestinal barrier function (p < 0.05). The dietary administration of salidroside was found to significantly reduce the transcription levels of intestinal tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) (p < 0.05). Furthermore, salidroside was observed to reduce the transcription levels of intestinal apoptosis factor Bcl-2 associated death promoter (BAD) and recombinant Tumor Protein p53 (P53) (p < 0.05). Concomitantly, the beneficial bacteria, Fusobacteriota and Cetobacterium, was significantly increased in the SLR12 group, while that of pathogenic bacteria, Proteobacteria, was significantly decreased (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the medium-sized largemouth bass optimal dosage of salidroside in the diet is 120mg/kg-1.

Discovery of Salidroside as a Novel Non-Coding RNA Modulator to Delay Cellular Senescence and Promote BK-Dependent Apoptosis in Cerebrovascular Smooth Muscle Cells of Simulated Microgravity Rats. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:14531. [PMID: 37833978 PMCID: PMC10572139 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241914531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Cardiovascular aging has been reported to accelerate in spaceflights, which is a great potential risk to astronauts' health and performance. However, current exercise routines are not sufficient to reverse the adverse effects of microgravity exposure. Recently, salidroside (SAL), a valuable medicinal herb, has been demonstrated to display an important role for prevention and treatment in cardiovascular and other diseases. In the present work, Sprague-Dawley rats with four-week tail-suspension hindlimb-unloading were used to simulate microgravity effects on the cardiovascular system. We found that intragastrical administration of SAL not only significantly decreased the expressions of senescence biomarkers, such as P65 and P16, but also obviously increased the expressions of BK-dependent apoptotic genes, including the large-conductance calcium-activated K+ channel (BK), Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase-3, in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in vivo and in vitro. In addition, relative non-coding RNAs were screened, and a luciferase assay identified that SAL increased apoptosis by activating LncRNA-FLORPAR, inhibiting miR-193, and then triggering the activity of the BK-α subunit. Our work indicated that SAL is a novel non-coding RNA modulator for regulating the LncRNA-FLORPAR sponging miR-193 pathway, which significantly promoted BK-dependent apoptosis and delayed cerebrovascular aging-like remodeling during simulated microgravity exposure. Our findings may provide a new approach to prevent cardiovascular aging in future spaceflights.

Gut microbiota-based pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic study and molecular mechanism of specnuezhenide in the treatment of colorectal cancer targeting carboxylesterase. J Pharm Anal 2023; 13:1024-1040. [PMID: 37842660 PMCID: PMC10568112 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.06.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Specnuezhenide (SNZ) is among the main components of Fructus Ligustri Lucidi, which has anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, and anti-tumor effect. The low bioavailability makes it difficult to explain the mechanism of pharmacological effect of SNZ. In this study, the role of the gut microbiota in the metabolism and pharmacokinetics characteristics of SNZ as well as the pharmacological meaning were explored. SNZ can be rapidly metabolized by the gut microbiome, and two intestinal bacterial metabolites of SNZ, salidroside and tyrosol, were discovered. In addition, carboxylesterase may be the main intestinal bacterial enzyme that mediates its metabolism. At the same time, no metabolism was found in the incubation system of SNZ with liver microsomes or liver homogenate, indicating that the gut microbiota is the main part involved in the metabolism of SNZ. In addition, pharmacokinetic studies showed that salidroside and tyrosol can be detected in plasma in the presence of gut microbiota. Interestingly, tumor development was inhibited in a colorectal tumor mice model administered orally with SNZ, which indicated that SNZ exhibited potential to inhibit tumor growth, and tissue distribution studies showed that salidroside and tyrosol could be distributed in tumor tissues. At the same time, SNZ modulated the structure of gut microbiota and fungal group, which may be the mechanism governing the antitumoral activity of SNZ. Furthermore, SNZ stimulates the secretion of short-chain fatty acids by intestinal flora in vitro and in vivo. In the future, targeting gut microbes and the interaction between natural products and gut microbes could lead to the discovery and development of new drugs.

Abstract
Salidroside (Sal) possesses several pharmacological activities, such as antiaging, and anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer activities, and proliferation-promoting activities, but the effects of Sal on oocytes have rarely been reported. In the present study, we evaluated the beneficial effects of Sal, which is mainly found in the roots of Rhodiola. Porcine cumulus oocyte complexes were cultured in IVM medium supplemented (with 250 μmol/L) with Sal or not supplemented with Sal. The maturation rate in the Sal group increased from 88.34 ± 4.32% to 94.12 ± 2.29%, and the blastocyst rate in the Sal group increased from 30.35 ± 3.20% to 52.14 ± 7.32% compared with that in the control group. The experimental groups showed significant improvements in the cumulus expansion area. Sal reduced oocyte levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and enhanced intracellular GSH levels. Sal supplementation enhanced the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), ATP level, and mtDNA copy number, which shows that Sal enhances the cytoplasmic maturation of oocytes. Oocytes in the Sal group exhibited slowed apoptosis and reduced DNA breakage. Cell cycle signals and oocyte meiosis play important roles in oocyte maturation. The mRNA expressions of the MAPK pathway and MAPK phosphorylation increased significantly in the Sal group. The mRNA expression of the oocyte meiosis gene also increased significantly. These results show that Sal enhances the nuclear maturation of oocytes. Moreover, Sal increased the number of blastocyst cells, the proliferation of blastocysts, and the expressions of pluripotency genes. Sal down-regulated apoptosis-related genes and the apoptotic cell rate of blastocysts. In summary, our results demonstrate that Sal is helpful to improving the quality of porcine oocytes in vitro, and their subsequent embryonic development.

Abstract
Background: SHR-5 has been used as an "adaptogen" for enhancing physical and mental performance and for fighting stress in the healthy population. The purpose of this study is to determine the chemopreventive efficacy of SHR-5 for superficial bladder cancer and to investigate the underlying mechanisms of action. Methods: UPII-mutant Ha-ras bladder-cancer-transgenic mice, that developed low-grade and noninvasive papillary transitional urothelial cell carcinoma, were fed with 1.25 and 6.25 mg/mL SHR-5 in drinking water for 6 months. The survival of the mice, obstructive uropathy, tumor burden and morphology, and proliferation were evaluated by pathological, molecular, metabolic, and statistical analyses. Results: Approximately 95% or more of the male UPII-mutant Ha-ras mice that drank SHR-5 daily survived over 6 months of age, while only 33.3% of those mice that drank normal water survived over 6 months of age (p < 0.0001); SHR-5 drinking exposure also reduced tumor-bearing bladder weight and urinary tract obstruction and inhibited mTOR signaling in neoplastic tissues. Global metabolic analysis revealed that SHR-5 resulted in increased phenolic metabolites and decreased CoA, a critical metabolic cofactor for lipid metabolism. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the potential of SHR-5 as an anti-aging agent for bladder cancer prevention through reshaping tumor metabolism via the inhibition of the mTOR signaling. Global metabolomics profiling provides a unique and efficient tool for studying the mechanisms of complex herb extracts' action.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the leading cause of cancer‑associated death in the world. Chemotherapy remains the primary treatment method for HCC. Despite advances in chemotherapy and modalities, recurrence and resistance limit therapeutic success. Salidroside (Sal), a bioactive component extracted from the rhizome of Rhodiola rosea L, exhibits a spectrum of biological activities including antitumor effects. In the present study, it was demonstrated that Sal could induce apoptosis and autophagy of 97H cells by using CCK‑8 assay, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Hoechst33342 staining, MDC staining, western blotting. Pretreatment with Sal enhanced apoptosis and autophagy via upregulation of expression levels of Bax, Caspase‑3, Caspase‑9, light chain (LC)3‑II and Beclin‑1 proteins and downregulation of expression levels of Bcl‑2, LC3‑I and p62 protein in 97H cells. Furthermore, Sal was demonstrated to inhibit activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and, when combined with autophagy inhibitor chloroquine diphosphate (CQ), increased phosphorylation of PI3K, Akt and mTOR proteins. The combined treatment with Sal and CQ not only decreased Sal‑induced autophagy, but also accelerated Sal‑induced apoptosis. Therefore, Sal‑induced autophagy might serve a role as a defense mechanism in human liver cancer cells and its inhibition may be a promising strategy for the adjuvant chemotherapy of liver cancer.

Abstract
Cancer has a high morbidity and mortality; therefore, it poses a major global health concern. Imbalance in endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis can induce endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). ERS has been shown to play both tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressive roles in various cancer types by activating a series of adaptive responses to promote tumor cell survival and inducing ERS-related apoptotic pathways to promote tumor cell death, inhibit tumor growth and suppress tumor invasion. Because multiple roles of ERS in tumors continue to be reported, many studies have attempted to target ERS in cancer therapy. The therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatments on tumors have been widely recognized. TCM treatments can enhance the sensitivity of tumor radiotherapy, delay tumor recurrence and improve patients' quality of life. However, there are relatively few reports exploring the antitumor effects of TCM from the perspective of ERS. This review addresses the progress of TCM intervention in tumors via ERS with a view to providing a new direction for tumor treatment.

Abstract
The treatment for tuberculosis (TB), especially multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), has a prolonged cycle which can last up to a year. This is partially due to the lack of effective therapies. The development of novel anti-TB drugs from the perspective of host immune regulation can provide an important supplement for conventional treatment strategies. Salidroside (SAL), a bioactive component from the Tibetan medicine Rhodiola rosea, has been used in the treatment of TB, although its mechanism remains unclear. Here, the bacteriostatic effect of SAL in vivo was first demonstrated using a zebrafish–M. marinum infection model. To further investigate the underlying mechanism, we then examined the impact of SAL on immune cell recruitment during wound and infection. Increased macrophage and neutrophil infiltrations were found both in the vicinity of the wound and infection sites after SAL treatment compared with control, which might be due to the elevated chemokine expression levels after SAL treatment. SAL treatment alone was also demonstrated to improve the survival of infected zebrafish larvae, an effect that was amplified when combining SAL treatment with isoniazid or rifampicin. Interestingly, the reduced bacterial burden and improved survival rate under SAL treatment were compromised in tnfα-deficient embryos which suggests a requirement of Tnfα signaling on the anti-mycobacterial effects of SAL. In summary, this study provides not only the cellular and molecular mechanisms for the host anti-mycobacterial effects of the Tibetan medicine SAL but also proof of concept that combined application of SAL with traditional first-line anti-TB drugs could be a novel strategy to improve treatment efficacy.

Abstract
Cancer pain is an important factor affecting life quality of patients especially in the advanced stage and relieving pain is one of fundamental strategies for cancer treatment. Opioids such as morphine are the most widely used in clinics. However, they have been reported to be associated with the occurrence and development of several types of cancer. Thus, search for an opioid that has analgesic effect and can retard cancer progress simultaneously is critical for cancer management. In this study, we first examined the expression of μ and κ (MOR and KOR) in cell lines and tumor tissues of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a malignant tumor with high mortality, and then compared the effects of opioid receptors-specific agonists on malignant phenotypes of HCC cells in vitro and tumor growth in an HCC xenograft mouse model. KOR and MOR were found to be highly expressed in HCC cell lines and HCC tissues. The KOR-specific agonist U50488h, oxycodone (agonist for both KOR and MOR) and the MOR-specific agonist morphine inhibited HCC cell proliferation, while only U50488h and oxycodone suppressed colony formation and migration of HCC cells. U50488h and oxycodone, but not morphine, induced HCC apoptosis. Further detection of PERK, GRP78 and CHOP revealed that PERK signaling was upregulated by treatment with U50488h, while treatment with the PERK inhibitor GSK2656157 partially reversed the promotion of apoptosis and inhibition of cell proliferation by U50488h, indicating that endoplasmic reticulum stress is associated with its suppressing effect on HCC malignant phenotypes. Similar to the in vitro results, HCC growth was significantly reduced by administration of U50488h and oxycodone, but not by morphine, in the HCC xenograft mouse model. PERK and caspase-3 in the HCC tissues were up-regulated by U50488h treatment as detected by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Taken together, our results revealed that activation of KOR by U50488h inhibited malignant phenotypes of HCC both in vitro and in vivo, while activation of MOR by morphine did not have such effect. Because of their dual roles in the relief of pain and in the suppression of malignant phenotypes, opioids such as U50488h that act on KOR should be considered as the first choice for HCC management.

Abstract
To study the effect of Salidroside on nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells and its mechanism. NPC cells were cultured, MTT was used to detect the effect of Salidroside on cell proliferation, apoptosis detected by flow cytometry assay, Western blot was used to detect the related protein expression. MiR-4262 and GRP78 used qRT-PCR for evaluation. Mimics/mimic NC and miR-4262 inhibitor/inhibitor NC were transfected into CNE2 and HONE1 cell lines, and cell viability was detected by MTT. Caspase-3, −8 and −9 activities were detected by caspase colorimetric assay kit. Targetscan predicted that downstream target of miR-4262. Relative luciferase activity was detected by luciferase assay. The effect of Salidroside on the growth of transplanted tumor in nude mice was observed. After Salidroside treatment, cell proliferation decreased and apoptosis increased, Bax protein expression increased and Bcl-2 decreased; miR-4262 expression level in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues was lower than that in adjacent tissues. GRP78 was the target of miR-4262 and downregulate the expression of miR-4262 in NPC cells can increase the expression of GRP78, and the expression of GRP78 decreased after upregulating the expression of miR-4262. Salidroside could inhibit the growth of NPC xenografts in nude mice. The level of Bax was increased and Bcl-2 was decreased in Salidroside group. Salidroside can significantly inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of NPC cells via regulating miR-4262/GRP78 signal axis.

Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2020; 531:242-249. [PMID: 32798018 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2020.07.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2020] [Accepted: 07/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Syringic acid is an abundant phenolic acid compound that possesses anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-endotoxic properties. However, the research of pretreatment with syringic acid against myocardial ischemia reperfusion is still limited. Thus, our research revealed the protective effect of syringic acid in the rat model with myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury. Histological analysis was performed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). The myocardial systolic function was detected by echocardiographic. Myocardial infarct size was measured by Evans blue and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) double staining. The apoptosis index was recorded by Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling staining (TUNEL). The contents of creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the serum were determined by a commercial kit. The expression of the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway-related molecules and apoptosis-associated indicators was detected by western blotting or real-time PCR. We found that pretreatment with syringic acid obviously increased the myocardial systolic function (LVEF and LVFS) and decreased the infarct size, the apoptosis index as well as the serum level of CK-MB and LDH. Meanwhile, syringic acid also remarkably augmented the contents of p-PI3K, p-Akt, p-GSK-3β, Bcl-2 and mitochondria cytochrome c. However, the expression of caspase-3, -9 and Bax significantly reduced. Interestingly, co-treatment with PI3K inhibitor of LY294002 counteracted those effects induced by syringic acid. In conclusion, pretreatment with syringic acid can mitigate myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury by inhibiting mitochondria-induced apoptosis which is regulated by the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway.
