Kobayashi H, Hirao Y, Kawanishi S, Kato S, Mori Y, Murata M, Oikawa S. Rosmarinic acid, a natural polyphenol, has a potential pro-oxidant risk via NADH-mediated oxidative DNA damage. Genes Environ 2024; 46:13. [PMID: 38831385 PMCID: PMC11149181 DOI: 10.1186/s41021-024-00307-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rosmarinic acid (RA) has a wide range of beneficial effects on human health. On the other hand, RA has been reported to induce metal-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and DNA damage. However, its mechanism remains unknown. In this study, to clarify the underlying mechanism, we analyzed metal-mediated DNA damage in isolated DNA treated with RA and its analog isorinic acid. RESULTS RA plus Cu(II), but not Fe(III), significantly increased 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) formation, an indicator of oxidative DNA damage, in calf thymus DNA. Furthermore, a comparison of the 8-oxodG formation induced by RA and its analog isorinic acid suggested that the catechol groups in RA could be associated with their abilities to form 8-oxodG. Interestingly, the 8-oxodG formation induced by RA and isorinic acid plus Cu(II) was markedly enhanced by the addition of NADH, an endogenous reductant. To elucidate the mechanism of RA plus Cu(II)-induced oxidative DNA damage, we examined DNA damage in 32P-labeled DNA treated with RA in the presence of Cu(II). RA plus Cu(II) caused DNA cleavage, which was enhanced by piperidine treatment, suggesting that RA causes not only DNA strand breakage but also base modification. RA plus Cu(II)-induced DNA damage was inhibited by catalase (H2O2 scavenger), bathocuproine (Cu(I) chelator), and methional (scavenger of a variety of ROS other than •OH) but not by typical •OH scavengers and SOD, indicating the involvement of H2O2, Cu(I), and ROS other than •OH. DNA cleavage site analysis showing RA-induced site-specific DNA damage (frequently at thymine and some cytosine residues) supports the involvement of ROS other than •OH, because •OH causes DNA cleavage without site specificity. Based on these results, Cu(I) and H2O2 generation with concomitant RA autoxidation could lead to the production of Cu(I)-hydroperoxide, which induces oxidative DNA damage. o-Quinone and o-semiquinone radicals are likely to be again reduced to RA by NADH, which dramatically increases oxidative DNA damage, particularly at low concentrations of RA. CONCLUSIONS In this study, physiologically relevant concentrations of RA effectively induced oxidative DNA damage in isolated DNA through redox cycle reactions with copper and NADH.

Renoprotective effect of rosmarinic acid by inhibition of indoxyl sulfate-induced renal interstitial fibrosis via the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 135:112314. [PMID: 38788450 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
We previously reported that rosmarinic acid (RA) ameliorated renal fibrosis in a unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) murine model of chronic kidney disease. This study aimed to determine whether RA attenuates indoxyl sulfate (IS)-induced renal fibrosis by regulating the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome/IL-1β/Smad circuit. We discovered the NLRP3 inflammasome was activated in the IS treatment group and downregulated in the RA-treated group in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, the downstream effectors of the NLRP3 inflammasome, cleaved-caspase-1 and cleaved-IL-1β showed similar trends in different groups. Moreover, RA administration significantly decreased the ROS levels of reactive oxygen species in IS-treated cells. Our data showed that RA treatment significantly inhibited Smad-2/3 phosphorylation. Notably, the effects of RA on NLRP3 inflammasome/IL-1β/Smad and fibrosis signaling were reversed by the siRNA-mediated knockdown of NLRP3 or caspase-1 in NRK-52E cells. In vivo, we demonstrated that expression levels of NLRP3, c-caspase-1, c-IL-1β, collagen I, fibronectin and α-SMA, and TGF- β 1 were downregulated after treatment of UUO mice with RA or RA + MCC950. Our findings suggested RA and MCC950 synergistically inhibited UUO-induced NLRP3 signaling activation, revealing their renoprotective properties and the potential for combinatory treatment of renal fibrosis and chronic kidney inflammation.

Abstract
Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) have been highlighted to improve plant growth and development in the recent years. Although positive effects of some NPs have been reported on medicinal plants, the knowledge for stimulations application of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) NPs is not available. Hence, the present work aimed to discover the effects of Fe NPs at 10, 20, and 30 mg L-1 and Zn NPs at 60 and 120 mg L-1 on growth, water content, photosynthesis pigments, phenolic content, essential oil (EO) quality, and rosmarinic acid (RA) production of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.). The results showed that Fe NPs at 20 and 30 mg L-1 and Zn NPs at 120 mg L-1 significantly improved biochemical attributes. Compared with control plants, the interaction of Fe NPs at 30 mg-1 and Zn NPs at 120 mg L-1 led to noticeable increases in shoot weight (72%), root weight (92%), chlorophyll (Chl) a (74%), Chl b (47%), RA (66%), proline (81%), glycine betaine (GB, 231%), protein (286%), relative water content (8%), EO yield (217%), total phenolic content (63%), and total flavonoid content (57%). Heat map analysis revealed that protein, GB, EO yield, shoot weight, root weight, and proline had the maximum changes upon Fe NPs. Totally, the present study recommended the stimulations application of Fe NPs at 20-30 mg L-1 and Zn NPs at 120 mg L-1 to reach the optimum growth and secondary metabolites of lemon balm.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Skin cancer poses a significant health risk globally, necessitating effective and safe therapeutic interventions. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) from green tea and rosmarinic acid (RA) from herbs like rosemary offer promising anticancer properties. Combining these compounds may enhance their effectiveness, prompting the need for a reliable analytical method to quantify them. OBJECTIVE Herein, we present the development and validation of a high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method for concurrent quantification of EGCG and RA in lipid-based nanoparticles and biological samples. METHODOLOGY The method underwent optimisation through design of experiments (DoE), resulting in the establishment of robust chromatographic conditions. The separation process utilised aluminium HPTLC plates coated with silica gel 60 F254 as the stationary phase, with the mobile phase comprising ethyl acetate, toluene, formic acid, and methanol in a ratio of 4:4:1:1 v/v. RESULTS The retention factor (Rf) values obtained were 0.38 for EGCG and 0.61 for RA. The method demonstrated linearity over a range of 100-500 ng/band for both compounds with excellent correlation coefficients. Limits of detection and quantification were determined, indicating high sensitivity. Precision evaluations revealed relative standard deviation below 2%, ensuring method reproducibility. Recovery assays in lipid-based nanoparticles, plasma, and urine samples demonstrated excellent recoveries (96.2%-102.1%). Forced degradation studies revealed minimal degradation under various stress conditions, with photolytic degradation showing the least impact. CONCLUSION The developed HPTLC method offers a rapid, sensitive, and reliable approach for quantifying EGCG and RA, laying the groundwork for their further investigation as anticancer agents alone and in combination therapies.

Abstract
Cutaneous melanoma is a complex pathology that still has only treatments that lack efficiency and offer many adverse effects. Due to this scenario emerges the need to analyze other possible treatments against this disease, such as the effect of phenolic compounds. These substances have proven antitumor effects, but still have not been fully explored as a form of therapy to combat melanoma. Also, the purinergic receptors, along with its system molecules, take part in the formation of tumors from many pathways, such as the actions of ectoenzymes and receptors activity, especially P2Rs family, and are formed by structures that can be modulated by the phenolic compounds. Therefore, more studies have to be made with the aim of explaining the purinergic system activity in carcinogenesis of cutaneous melanoma and the effects of its modulation by phenolic compound, in order to enable the development of new therapies to combat this aggressive and feared cancer.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is a highly debilitating malignancy affecting females globally and imposing a substantial burden on healthcare systems in both developed and developing nations. Despite the application of conventional therapeutic modalities such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormonal intervention, BC frequently exhibits resistance, necessitating the urgent development of novel, cost-effective, and accessible treatment strategies. In this context, there is a growing scientific interest in exploring the pharmacological potential of chemical compounds derived from botanical sources, which often exhibit notable biological activity. Extensive in vitro and in vivo investigations have revealed the capacity of these compounds, referred to as phytochemicals, to attenuate the metastatic cascade and reduce the risk of cancer dissemination. These phytochemicals exert their effects through modulation of key molecular and metabolic processes, including regulation of the cell cycle, induction of apoptotic cell death, inhibition of angiogenesis, and suppression of metastatic progression. To shed light on the latest advancements in this field, a comprehensive review of the scientific literature has been conducted, focusing on secondary metabolite agents that have recently been investigated and have demonstrated promising anticancer properties. This review aims to delineate their underlying mechanisms of action and elucidate the associated signaling pathways, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of their therapeutic potential in the context of BC management.

Abstract
Rosmarinic acid (RA) is a phenolic ester that protects human keratinocytes against oxidative damage induced by ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure, however, the mechanisms underlying its effects remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the cell signaling mechanisms that regulate the antioxidant activity of RA and confirm its cyto-protective role. To explore the signaling mechanisms, we used the human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT and SKH1 hairless mouse skin. RA enhanced glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC) and glutathione synthetase (GSS) expression in HaCaT cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Moreover, RA induced nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (NRF2) nuclear translocation and activated the signaling kinases protein kinase B (AKT) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). Treatment with the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002, the ERK inhibitor U0126, and small interfering RNA (siRNA) gene silencing suppressed RA-enhanced GCLC, GSS, and NRF2 expression, respectively. Cell viability tests showed that RA significantly prevented UVB-induced cell viability decrease, whereas the glutathione (GSH) inhibitors buthionine sulfoximine, LY294002, and U0126 significantly reduced this effect. Moreover, RA protected against DNA damage and protein carbonylation, lipid peroxidation, and apoptosis caused by UVB-induced oxidative stress in a concentration-dependent manner in SKH1 hairless mouse skin tissues. These results suggest that RA protects against UVB-induced oxidative damage by activating AKT and ERK signaling to regulate NRF2 signaling and enhance GSH biosynthesis. Thus, RA treatment may be a promising approach to protect the skin from UVB-induced oxidative damage.

Abstract
Rosmarinus officinalis L. compounds, especially its main polyphenolic compounds, carnosic acid (CA) and rosmarinic acid (RA), influence various facets of cancer biology, making them valuable assets in the ongoing fight against cancer. These two secondary metabolites exhibit formidable antioxidant properties that are a pivotal contributor against the development of cancer. Their antitumor effect has been related to diverse mechanisms. In the case of CA, it has the capacity to induce cell death of cancer cells through the rise in ROS levels within the cells, the inhibition of protein kinase AKT, the activation of autophagy-related genes (ATG) and the disrupt mitochondrial membrane potential. Regarding RA, its antitumor actions encompass apoptosis induction through caspase activation, the inhibition of cell proliferation by interrupting cell cycle progression and epigenetic regulation, antioxidative stress-induced DNA damage, and interference with angiogenesis to curtail tumor growth. To understand the molecular interaction between rosemary compounds (CA and RA) and a protein that is involved in cancer and inflammation, S100A8, we have performed a series of molecular docking analyses using the available three-dimensional structures (PDBID: 1IRJ, 1MR8, and 4GGF). The ligands showed different binding intensities in the active sites with the protein target molecules, except for CA with the 1MR8 protein.

Abstract
Orthosiphon aristatus has been traditionally used as a medicinal herb for various illnesses in Southeast Asia and Europe. The most dominant bioactive compound of the herb is rosmarinic acid (RosA) which has been demonstrated for its remarkable anti-inflammatory properties. This review describes the recent progress of studies on multi-target molecular pathways of RosA in relation to targeted inflammatory-associated diseases. An inclusive literature search was conducted using electronic databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, Springer Link, PubMed, Medline, Wiley and Science Direct for studies reporting on the anti-inflammatory actions of RosA from 2008 until 2023. The keywords of the search were RosA and anti-inflammatory in relation to hepatoprotective, chondroprotective, cardioprotective, neuroprotective and toxicity. Only publications that are written in English are included in this review. The inhibition and deactivation of pro-inflammatory biomolecules by RosA were explained based on the initial inflammation stimuli and their location in the body. The activation of Nrf2/HO-1 expression to inhibit NF-κB pathway is the key mechanism for hepatoprotection. Besides NF-κB inhibition, RosA activates PPARγ to alleviate ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced myocardial injury for cardioprotection. The regulation of MAPK and T-cell activation is important for chondroprotection, whereas the anti-oxidant property of RosA is the main contributor of neuroprotection. Even though less studies on the anti-inflammation of RosA extracts from O. aristatus, but the effective pharmacological properties of RosA has promoted it as a natural potent lead for further investigation.

[PMID: 37481060 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/24/2023]
Abstract
In ancient times, herbal plants were considered one of the greatest gifts from nature that human beings could receive, and about 80% of these plants have medicinal uses. In traditional medicine, Mentha arvensis, commonly known as mint, has many applications, and in the present study, the mint leaf extract has been used to synthesis nanoparticles using the mint leaf extract as a biosource for the extraction of nanoparticles. In addition to having a wide range of applications in various fields, calcium oxide (CaO) nanoparticles are also considered to be safe for human use. In order to assess the characteristics of the abstracted CaO nanoparticles, UV-visible absorption spectrophotometers, Fourier Transform Infrared spectrophotometers (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), and X-ray Diffraction Spectrophotometers (XRDs) were used. By conducting a protein denaturation assay and nitric oxide scavenging assay, mint leaf mediated CaO nanoparticles were evaluated for their therapeutic applications. MTT assays were used to prove that the CaO nanoparticles mediated by mint leaf had anti-cancer properties. By examining the ability of mint leaf mediated CaO nanoparticles to degrade various dyes such as methyl red, methyl orange, and methylene blue, which are the most used azo dyes in textile industries resulting in water contamination, the ability of these nanoparticles to act as a photocatalytic agent was examined.

Danthron, an Anthraquinone Isolated from a Marine Fungus, Is a New Inhibitor of Angiogenesis Exhibiting Interesting Antitumor and Antioxidant Properties. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:antiox12051101.

Abstract
The role played by a sustained angiogenesis in cancer and other diseases stimulates the interest in the search for new antiangiogenic drugs. In this manuscript, we provide evidence that 1,8- dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone (danthron), isolated from the fermentation broth of the marine fungus Chromolaenicola sp. (HL-114-33-R04), is a new inhibitor of angiogenesis. The results obtained with the in vivo CAM assay indicate that danthron is a potent antiangiogenic compound. In vitro studies with human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVEC) reveal that this anthraquinone inhibits certain key functions of activated endothelial cells, including proliferation, proteolytic and invasive capabilities and tube formation. In vitro studies with human breast carcinoma MDA-MB231 and fibrosarcoma HT1080 cell lines suggest a moderate antitumor and antimetastatic activity of this compound. Antioxidant properties of danthron are evidenced by the observation that it reduces the intracellular reactive oxygen species production and increases the amount of intracellular sulfhydryl groups in endothelial and tumor cells. These results support a putative role of danthron as a new antiangiogenic drug with potential application in the treatment and angioprevention of cancer and other angiogenesis-dependent diseases.
