Abstract
Fucoidan is linked to a variety of biological processes. Differences in algae species, extraction, seasons, and locations generate structural variability in fucoidan, affecting its bioactivities. Nothing is known about fucoidan from the brown alga Dictyota bartayresiana, its anti-inflammatory properties, or its inherent mechanism. This study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory properties of fucoidan isolated from D. bartayresiana against LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages and to explore potential molecular pathways associated with this anti-inflammatory effects. Fucoidan was first isolated and purified from D. bartayresiana, and then, MTT assay was used to determine the effect of fucoidan on cell viability. Its effects on reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and apoptosis were also studied using the ROS assay and acridine orange/ethidium bromide fluorescence labelling, respectively. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies were performed on target proteins NF-κB and TNF-α to identify the route implicated in these inflammatory events. It was observed that fucoidan reduced LPS-induced inflammation in RAW 264.7 cells. Fucoidan also decreased the LPS-stimulated ROS surge and was found to induce apoptosis in the cells. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation studies revealed that fucoidan's potent anti-inflammatory action was achieved by obstructing the NF-κB signalling pathway. These findings were particularly noteworthy and novel because fucoidan isolated from D. bartayresiana had not previously been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties in RAW 264.7 cells or to exert its activity by obstructing the NF-κB signalling pathway. Conclusively, these findings proposed fucoidan as a potential pharmaceutical drug for inflammation-related diseases.

Deficiency of mindin reduces renal injury after ischemia reperfusion. Mol Med 2022; 28:152. [PMID: 36510147 PMCID: PMC9743537 DOI: 10.1186/s10020-022-00578-2] [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: 05/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute renal injury (AKI) secondary to ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury continues to be a significant perioperative problem and there is no effective treatment. Mindin belongs to the mindin/F-spondin family and involves in inflammation, proliferation, and cell apoptosis. Previous studies have explored the biological functions of mindin in liver and brain ischemic injury, but its role in AKI is unknown. METHOD To investigate whether mindin has a pathogenic role, mindin knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice were used to establish renal IR model. After 30 min of ischemia and 24 h of reperfusion, renal histology, serum creatinine, and inflammatory response were examined to assess kidney injury. In vitro, proinflammatory factors and inflammatory signaling pathways were measured in mindin overexpression or knockdown and vector cells after hypoxia/reoxygenation (HR). RESULTS Following IR, the kidney mindin level was increased in WT mice and deletion of mindin provided significant protection for mice against IR-induced renal injury as manifested by attenuated the elevation of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen along with less severity for histological alterations. Mindin deficiency significantly suppressed inflammatory cell infiltration, TNF-α and MCP-1 production following renal IR injury. Mechanistic studies revealed that mindin deficiency inhibits TLR4/JNK/NF-κB signaling activation. In vitro, the expression levels of TNF-α and MCP-1 were increased in mindin overexpression cells compared with vector cells following HR. Moreover, TLR4/JNK/NF-κB signaling activation was elevated in the mindin overexpression cells in response to HR stimulation while mindin knockdown inhibited the activation of TLR4/JNK/ NF-κB signaling after HR in vitro. Further study showed that mindin protein interacted directly with TLR4 protein. And more, mindin protein was confirmed to be expressed massively in renal tubule tissues of human hydronephrosis patients. CONCLUSION These data demonstrate that mindin is a critical modulator of renal IR injury through regulating inflammatory responses. TLR4/JNK/NF-κB signaling most likely mediates the biological function of mindin in this model of renal ischemia.

Abstract
Mammalian single immunoglobulin (Ig) interleukin-1 receptor related molecule (SIGIRR), an important member of the Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) family, plays important balancing roles in the inflammatory responses. In the present study, the double Ig interleukin-1 receptor related molecule (DIGIRR), the homologous of SIGIRR, was characterized in golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) (termed as trDIGIRR). The full-length cDNA of trDIGIRR was 2,167 bp with an open reading frame (ORF) of 1,572 bp encoding 523 amino acids. The trDIGIRR contained several conserved domains including a signal peptide, two Ig domains, a transmembrane domain and a TIR domain, and shared high sequence identities with its teleost counterparts. Realtime qPCR analysis revealed that the trDIGIRR was distributed in all tissues examined, with high expressions in intestine, liver and head kidney. The expressions of trDIGIRR were induced by Vibrio alginolyticus, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) challenge. Further analysis revealed that trDIGIRR was mainly located in the cytoplasm. In addition, the co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) assay identified that trDIGIRR could interact with myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), but not interact with TIR domain containing adaptor protein inducing interferon-β (TRIF). Our results provide basis for studying the immune role of fish DIGIRR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sepsis causes excessive systemic inflammation and leads to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). The intestine plays a key role in the occurrence and development of sepsis. Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels et Gilg (San ye qing, SYQ), a precious Chinese medicine, has been widely used for centuries due to its high traditional value, such as a remarkable anti-inflammatory effect. However, the role of SYQ in intestinal permeability during the development of sepsis needs to be discovered. METHODS Mice were intraperitoneally injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to simulate intestinal mucosal barrier function damage in sepsis. Pathological section, inflammatory cytokines, tight junctions, cell apoptosis, and intestinal flora were detected to evaluate the protective effect of SYQ on intestinal mucosal barrier injury in LPS-induced septic mice. RESULTS The results showed that SYQ treatment obviously attenuated LPS-induced intestinal injury and reduced the production of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), and interleukin 6 (IL-6). Besides, SYQ also up-regulated the expressions of tight junctions, including Zonula occludens 1 (ZO-1), Claudin-5, and Occludin along with a decreased in the levels of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and myosin light chain (MLC). In addition, SYQ down-regulated the expression of Bax/Bcl2 as well as that of cleaved caspase-3 to prevent the cells from undergoing apoptosis. Further, SYQ restored the diversity of the intestinal flora, increased the abundance of Firmicutes, and decreased the abundance of Bacteroidota. CONCLUSIONS The study indicated that SYQ exerted its protective effect on intestinal mucosal barrier injury in LPS-induced septic mice by reducing inflammatory response, improving the tight junction protein expression, inhibiting cell apoptosis, and adjusting the intestinal flora structure.

Abstract
Tetrastigma hemsleyanum, a precious edible and medicinal plant in China, has attracted extensive research attention in recent years due to its high traditional value for the treatment of various diseases. In vitro digestion and colonic fermentation models were established to evaluate the stability of Tetrastigma hemsleyanum leaves (THL) phenolics by the HPLC-QqQ-MS/MS method. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents were degraded during digestion and fermentation. 3-caffeoylquinic acid, 5-caffeoylquinic acid, orientin and (iso)vitexin were metabolized by digestive enzymes and the gut microbiota, and absorbed in the form of glycosides and smaller phenolic acids for hepatic metabolism. The protective effects of THL on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice and potential mechanisms were explored. The results showed that THL supplementation increased the body weight and colon length, and the expression levels of tight junction proteins including occludin, claudin-1 and ZO-1 were up-regulated by THL. The secretions of pro-inflammatory cytokines containing IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly suppressed, whereas the content of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was promoted in the THL treated group. In addition, THL treatment activated the nuclear transfer of Nrf2, improved the expression of SOD, CAT, HO-1, NQO1 and GCLC, and decreased the content of MPO and MDA. It is worth noting that THL treatment significantly increased the content of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), increased the abundance of Ruminococcaceae, and decreased the abundance of Verrucomicrobia which is positively correlated with pro-inflammatory cytokines. These results indicated that THL effectively inhibited DSS-induced colitis by maintaining the intestinal epithelial barrier, mitigated oxidative stress through regulating the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway and regulated the imbalance of the intestinal flora structure.

Abstract
Supervillin (SVIL) is an actin-binding and membrane-associated protein, which belongs to villin/gelsolin family. It has been reported that SVIL was involved in the regulation of macrophages' movement and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) increased the SVIL mRNA expression in neutrophils, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. This work investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms of LPS regulating SVIL expression in macrophages and hence the possible role of SVIL in LPS-induced inflammation. We found that in THP-1-derived macrophages, LPS obviously increased SVIL mRNA and protein expression. Inhibition of TLR4 by Resatorvid (Res) remarkably reversed the LPS-induced SVIL expression. Additionally, inhibition of ERK1/2 signaling pathway (by U0126 or GDC-0994) and NF-κB (by BAY) significantly reduced the LPS-induced SVIL expression. Interestingly, down-regulation of SVIL by SVIL-specific shRNAs significantly attenuated the expression of IL-6, IL-1β & TNF-α induced by LPS at both mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, we also observed that SVIL knockdown decreased the proportion of cells in G2/M phase and increased the proportion of cells in S & G0-1 phase of THP-1 derived macrophages, but did not influence the cell viability. Taken together, we demonstrated that LPS induced the expression of SVIL via activating TLR4/NF-κB and ERK1/2 MAPK pathways, and SVIL participated in the inflammatory response of LPS-induced IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α upregulation in macrophages.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Drug resistance in tumors is one of the major factors that leads to chemotherapy failure. This study aims to investigate the effect of Radix Tetrastigma extracts (RTEs) on Taxol-induced autophagy and the chemosensitivity against drug resistance in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). METHODS Taxol-resistant MDA-MB-468 (MDA-MB-468/Taxol) cells were induced and treated with RTEs and/or Taxol. Mice were subcutaneously inoculated with MDA-MB- 468/Taxol cells to establish xenograft models. The associated protein levels were measured by western blotting. Flow cytometry, CCK-8 and EdU assay were performed to detect cell apoptosis, viability, and proliferation, respectively. RESULTS In MDA-MB-468/Taxol cells, RTEs & Taxol treatment increased cell apoptosis, reduced cell viability and proliferation, up-regulated anti-autophagy marker LC3I/LC3II ratio, and enhanced mTOR level. With RTEs & Taxol treatment, mTOR silencing downregulated LC3I/LC3II ratio, increased cell viability and proliferation, and reduced cell apoptosis, while mTOR overexpression showed the opposite results. PI3K inhibitor reduced AKT and mTOR levels, and the effects on cell activities were similar to the results of mTOR silencing. After RTEs & Taxol injection, xenograft tumor was smaller, and AKT, mTOR, LC3I/LC3II ratio and apoptotic marker cleaved caspase-3 were increased. CONCLUSION RTEs enhanced the chemosensitivity of resistant TNBC cells to Taxol through inhibiting PI3K/Akt/mTOR-mediated autophagy. MICRO RTEs exerted anti-tumor effects in various cancers, and this study determined its role in TNBC. Taxol-resistant MDA-MB-468 cells were induced and xenograft models were established. We found that RTEs inhibited autophagy of MDA-MB-468/Taxol cells and reduced tumor growth. Inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway promoted autophagy of MDA-MB-468/Taxol cells. We may provide a new potential strategy for TNBC treatment.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels et Gilg (T.hemsleyanum), a rare herbal plant distributed in subtropical areas of mainland China, has become a focus of scientific attention in recent years because of its high traditional value, including uses for treatment of children with fever, pneumonia, asthma, rheumatism, hepatitis, menstrual disorders, scrofula, and pharynx pain. AIM This systematic review aims to provide an insightful understanding of traditional uses, chemical composition, pharmacological effect and clinical application of T. hemsleyanum, and lay a foundation for the further study and for the utilization of T. hemsleyanum resource. MATERIALS AND METHODS A domestic and overseas literature search in known databases was conducted for published articles using the relevant keywords. RESULTS One hundred and forty-two chemical constituents identified from T. hemsleyanum have been reported, including flavonoids, phenolic acids, polysaccharide, organic acids, fatty acids, terpenoids, steroids, amino acid and others. Among these components, flavonoids and polysaccharides were the representative active ingredients of T. hemsleyanum, which have been widely investigated. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that these components exhibited various pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antivirus, antitumor, antipyretic, anti-hepatic injury, immunomodulatory, antibacterial etc. Moreover, different toxicological studies indicated that the clinical dosage of T. hemsleyanum was safe and reliable. CONCLUSIONS Modern pharmacological studies have well supported and clarified some traditional uses, and T. hemsleyanum has a good prospect for the development of new drugs due to these outstanding properties. However, the present findings did not provide an in-depth evaluation of bioactivity of the extracts, the composition of its active extracts was not clear. Moreover, they were insufficient to satisfactorily explain some mechanisms of action. Data regarding many aspects of T. hemsleyanum, such as links between the traditional uses and bioactivities, pharmacokinetics, quality control standard and the clinical value of active compositions is still limited which need more attention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation is a response to tissue injuries, which is indispensable and important for human health, but excessive inflammation can potentially cause damage to the host organisms. Camellia nitidissima Chi, one traditional medicinal and edible plant in China, was reported to exhibit anti-inflammation capability. Hence, this study was conducted to isolate the bioactive compounds from the flowers of C. nitidissima Chi and evaluate their anti-inflammatory activity. METHODS The phytochemicals from the flowers of C. nitidissima Chi were isolated and purified by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 gel, C18 reversed silica gel, semi-preparative HPLC, and identified by the spectrum technologies. The anti-inflammatory activity of isolated compounds was evaluated using cultured macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Whereafter the potential metabolic mechanism of the anti-inflammatory activity of the bioactive compound was investigated by a 1H-NMR based metabolomics approach. The metabolites in 1H-NMR spectra were identified by querying the Human Metabolome Database and Madison Metabolomics Consortium Database online. And the multivariate statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the variability of metabolites among samples and between sample classes. RESULTS The compound isolated from the flowers of C. nitidissima Chi was identified as 3-cinnamoyltribuloside (3-CT). 3-CT could inhibit the NO production and the mRNA expression of iNOS involved in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.7 cells. Moreover, 3-CT could inhibit the expression of a series of inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, both at the mRNA level and protein level. The 1H-NMR based metabolomics approach was applied to investigate the potential metabolic mechanism of the anti-inflammatory activity of 3-CT. Thirty-five metabolites were identified and assigned. Orthogonal signal correction partial least-squares discriminant analysis (OSC-PLS-DA) of the 1H-NMR data showed 3-CT could balance the significant changes in many endogenous metabolites (e.g., choline, glucose, phenylalanine) induced by LPS in RAW 264.7 cells, which related to cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, oxidative stress, energy metabolism, and amino acids metabolism. CONCLUSION 3-CT, isolated from the flowers of C. nitidissima Chi, had potent anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, our results indicated that 3-CT had effects on the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, oxidative stress, energy metabolism, and amino acids metabolism in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells.

Abstract
Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels & Gilg (TDG), the family member of Vitaceae, is a traditional herbal medicine in China. The root of TDG can be immediately used after cleaning the muddy soil, and can be dehydrated for dry use. TDG is able to be collected all year round, which is commonly used in the treatment of hepatitis, infantile high fever, snake bite, etc. Based on phytochemistry, the chemical components of TDG are divided into flavonoids, phenolic acids, terpenes, steroids, polysaccharide, and other compounds, showing many pharmacological effects which include anti-tumor, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, and immunomodulatory activity, as well as other activities. Currently, TDG involves some problems of the reduction of wild resources, the backward processing methods, and storage difficulties as well as the imperfection of detection methods. Therefore, this review summarizes the literature of the past 20 years, and the purpose of this review is to summarize the recent researches on the phytochemistry, pharmacology, quality control, and clinical application of TDG. The above discussions provide new insights for the future research on TDG.

Abstract
With the progress of nanotechnology, the adverse effects of nanoscale materials are receiving much attention. Inhibition of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling is a hallmark for downregulating the expression of many inflammatory genes implicated in oxidative stress. Therefore, the present study aimed to demonstrate the influence of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSE) on the hepatic TLR-4/ NF-κB signaling pathway in TiO2-NP-induced liver damage in rats. Forty male Albino rats were divided into 4 groups (n = 10): G1 was used as a control, G2 received TiO2-NPs (500 mg/kg/day orally) from the 17th to 30th day (acute toxicity), G3 received GSE (75 mg/kg/day orally) for 30 days, and G4 pre- and co-treated with GSE (for 30 days) and TiO2-NPs (from the 17th to 30th day), with the aforementioned doses. TiO2-NPs induced severe hepatic injury that was indicated by biochemical alterations in serum liver markers (acetylcholinesterase, ALT, ALP, total proteins, albumin, and direct bilirubin), oxidative stress indicators (MDA, GSH, and catalase), and histopathological alterations as well. Moreover, TiO2-NPs triggered an inflammatory response via the upregulation of TLR-4, NF-κB, NIK, and TNF-α mRNA expressions. Pre- and co-treatments with GSE alleviated the detrimental effects of TiO2-NPs which were enforced by the histopathological improvements. These results indicated that GSE effectively protected against TiO2-NP-induced hepatotoxicity via the inhibition of TLR-4/NF-κB signaling and hence suppressed the production of pro inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and improved the antioxidant status of the rats.

[PMID: 32045682 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.112663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2019] [Revised: 01/20/2020] [Accepted: 02/07/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels et Gilg (Sanyeqing) is traditionally used as a folk medicine for the treatments of inflammation, high fever, hepatitis and cancer, and can improve the immune function of the patient. It belongs to the family of Vitaceae, and is mainly distributed in southeast China (Yunnan province) and can be found in India (Andaman Islands), Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia in the valleys with 1100-1300 m above the sea level. AIM OF THE STUDY The present study aimed to characterize the chemical properties of a purified polysaccharide extracted from the aerial part of Tetrastigma hemsleyanum (SYQP) and investigate its antipyretic and antitumor effects in mice models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Water-soluble crude polysaccharides from the aerial parts of Tetrastigma hemsleyanum were extracted and fractionated by DEAE and gel permeation chromatography. Homogeneity, molecular weight, monosaccharide composition, and FTIR analysis were performed to characterize the SYQP. Antipyretic effect of SYQP was examined using Brewer's yeast induced hyperthermia test. Antitumor effect was investigated using H22 tumor bearing mice. The serum cytokines were determined to evaluated the biological activities of SYQP. RESULTS SYQP was composed of galacturonic acid (GalA), glucose (Glc), mannose (Man), arabinose (Ara), galactose (Gal), and rhamnose (Rha) with a molar ratio of 11.3:7.1:2.5:1.0:0.9:0.5 and it had an average molecular weight of 66.2 kDa. The oral administration of SYQP at 200 and 400 mg/kg could markedly suppress the hyperthermia of mice induced by Brewer's yeast and decrease the production of cytokines especially prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the serum of mice. SYQP inhibited the growth of H22 tumor in mice with inhibitory rate of 39.9% at the administration dose of 200 mg/kg and increased the production of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) and interferon γ (IFN-γ). Experimental results showed that the preventive administration of SYQP before lipopolysaccharide (LPS) reduced the high cytokine levels such as IL-6, IL-10 and IFN-γ, indicating that SYQP might act as a competitor with LPS to interact with toll like receptor 4 (TLR4), which further regulated the secretion of cytokines. CONCLUSION The anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities of SYQP might be related to its regulation of host immune function by controlling the secretion of cytokines.

Abstract
Background Sanjie Zhentong capsule (SZC) offers excellent effect in treating adenomyosis (AM), which is a common and difficult gynecological disease in the clinic. However, the systematic analysis of its mechanism has not been carried out yet and further studies are needed to reveal the role of SZC. Methods A systematic network pharmacology analysis was conducted by integrating construction of SZC compound database and AM target database, prediction of potential active compounds and targets by molecular docking combined with compound-target prediction graph (CTPG), protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. Then, the anti-inflammation experiments in vitro were performed by investigating SZC and the representative compounds regulating nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-10 (IL-10). Results Our findings show that SZC mainly treated AM by stimulating 28 core targets through 30 key potential active compounds, and affecting 4 crucial pathways. The treatment was associated with inflammation reaction, hormone regulation, cell adhesion, proliferation, and angiogenesis. Additionally, SZC achieved the anti-inflammatory activity by the cooperation of the compounds through inhibiting NO and IL-6, both promoting and inhibiting IL-10. Conclusion This study investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of SZC based on a systematic analysis of SZC remedying AM, which was revealed to be one of the essential mechanisms. These findings will provide valuable guidance for further research of the SZC treatment of AM, and help improve the comprehension of SZC pharmacological basis as well as AM pathogenesis.

Abstract
Context: ALI is a common disease characterized by acute pulmonary inflammatory disorder. Abutilon theophrasti Medik. (Malvaceae), as a Chinese traditional medicine, is used for the treatment of inflammation. Its main constituents are flavonoid compounds. Objective: This study investigates the regulatory effect of a TFE from Abutilon theophrasti leaves on gene expression in LPS-induced ALI mice via the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways. Materials and methods: Kunming mice were intragastrically administered TFE (0.25, 0.5, 1.0 g/kg) for 5 days, and then ALI was induced via intranasal administration 40 μg of LPS in 10 μL PBS after intragastric administration on the 5th day, and PBS and DEX (2 mg/kg) were negative and positive control groups, respectively. Results: The relative expression of iNOS gene was 0.707, 0.507 and 0.483 for 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 g/kg TFE, and COX-2 gene expression was also reduced after treatment by three concentrations of TFE with 0.768, 0.545, and 0.478. The mRNA expression levels of p65 were 0.61, 0.43 and 0.27 for 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 g/kg TFE and IκB levels were increased in a dose-dependent manner with 3.99, 13.69 and 34.36. 0.5 and 1.0 g/kg TFE inhibited the expression of ERK1/2 with 0.59 and 0.38, p38MAPK with 0.62 and 0.54, and JNK with 0.37 and 0.29, and JNK mRNA expression was 0.60 for 0.25 g/kg TFE. Discussion and conclusion: These results indicate that the regulatory mechanisms of TFE on gene expression in LPS-induced ALI mice include inhibition of the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways.

Abstract
This study was conducted to explore the regulatory mechanism of Eucommia ulmoides flavones (EUF) using enterocyte damage model induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Intestinal porcine epithelial cell line (IPEC-J2) cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified eagle medium with high glucose (DMEM-H) medium containing 0 or 10 μg/mL EUF, 0 or 40 ng/mL LPS. The results showed that LPS impaired DNA synthesis, cell viability, mitochondrial function, arrested cell cycle and induced apoptosis, reduced SOD activity while the EUF treated cells provided beneficial effect on all these parameters (P < 0.05). The addition of EUF increased phosphorylated Akt, IκBα and phosphorylated IKKα/β, but decreased Bax and Caspase-3 protein expressions in LPS-treated cells (P < 0.05). For the second experiment, cells were treated by DMEM-H medium containing 10 μg/mL EUF+ 40 ng/mL LPS or 10 μg/mL EUF+ 40 ng/mL LPS+ 10 μmol/L LY29400. EUF + LPS + LY29400 treatment significantly reduced cell viability, proliferation, mitochondrial bioenergetics parameters, SOD activity, and decreased protein expressions of PI3K, p-Akt, p-IKKα/β, p-NFκB and Bax (P < 0.05). These findings revealed the cytoprotective effects of EUF in enterocyte, which may involve the PI3K-NFκB signaling pathway, and it provides a theoretical basis for exploration of EUF as a potential anti-inflammatory compound to intervene intestinal inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
The main flavonoid components of Radix Tetrastigma (RTF) were extracted and identified by UPLC-TOF/MS. In vitro, RTF prevented inflammation in RAW 264.7 cells by suppressing morphological (both cell and nucleus) changes, and decreasing nitric oxide (NO), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) contents. Exposure to LPS also leads to oxidant damage, and RTF alleviated damage to mitochondria, decreased O2- accumulation, and restored the glutathione level. RTF intervention decreased the expression of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 phosphorylation, accompanied by downregulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1). In vivo, aging of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) by paraquat (PQ) was observed through lifespan, lipofuscin, and enzyme analysis. RTF protected against damage in N2 worms but not in daf-16 mutants. Gene expression was further assessed, and p38/PMK-1 and Nrf2/SKN-1 expression in worms was suppressed by PQ, which was reversed by RTF treatment. Together, these results suggested that RTF could help ameliorate inflammation-induced damage through JNK, p38 and Nrf2 pathways.

[PMID: 30986450 DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2019.04.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2018] [Revised: 04/10/2019] [Accepted: 04/10/2019] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
C1q, as a LAIR-1 ligand, maintains monocytes quiescence and possess immunosuppressive properties. To understand the roles and molecular mechanisms, C1q mediated inflammation cytokines and several pivotal proteins in THP-1 cells after H. pylori infection were detected. The results showed that the expression of IL-8, IL-10, LAIR-1, phosphorylated/total JNK, phosphorylated/total p38-MAPK, phosphorylated/total AKT and phosphorylated/total NF-κB were up-regulated significantly in THP-1 cells after H. pylori infection. There was significant upregulation in IL-10 concentration, phosphorylated/total p38-MAPK and phosphorylated/total AKT, and downregulation in phosphorylated/total JNK in non-H. pylori infected THP-1 cells pretreated with C1q. C1q was also able to increase IL-8 and IL-10 production, and reduce LAIR-1 and phosphorylated/total p38-MAPK expression in pretreatment-C1q THP-1 cells after H. pylori infection. These results together indicated that H. pylori might induce IL-8 and IL-10 production through JNK, p38-MAPK, PI3K/AKT and NF-κB signaling pathway. C1q manipulate LAIR-1 to regulation IL-8 and IL-10 secretion in THP-1 cells after H. pylori infection through the p38-MAPK signaling pathway. This information is helpful to further understand the role and mechanisms of C1q on inflammation cytokines secretion in monocytes after H. pylori infection.

[PMID: 30424767 PMCID: PMC6234691 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-018-2363-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2018] [Accepted: 10/25/2018] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Epimedium sagittatum (Sieb.et Zucc.) Maxim., Ying-Yang-Huo in Chinese has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine and is deemed to "reinforce the kidney Yang". Previous studies showed that E. sagittatum could modulate the immune system and treat some chronic disease such as rheumatic arthritis, cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of ethyl acetate extracts (YYHs) of E. sagittatum and its mechanisms of action. METHODS In order to explore the composition of YYHs, YYHs was analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) and in comparison with reference standards. Anti-inflammatory model was established in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. The levels of nitric oxide (NO) were measured with the Griess reagent. Production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). In addition, expression of p-p65 protein and TLR4/MD-2 complex was detected by western blots and flow cytometric, respectively. Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) nuclear translocation was observed by fluorescence microscope. RESULTS A total of eight compounds were identified, of which icariside II was the most abundant compound. YYHs (12.5-50 μg/mL) had no obvious cytotoxic effect on cells, and remarkably inhibited LPS-induced production of NO, TNF-α and IL-2 with a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, YYHs up-regulated expression of p-p65 and TLR4/MD-2 complex. Further research showed that YYHs significantly suppressed NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation. CONCLUSION In brief, YYHs contributed to the inhibition of LPS-induced inflammatory response through the TLR4/MD-2-mediated NF-κB pathway and may be a potential choice to combat inflammation diseases. It includes a schema of pathways at the end of the paper.

Abstract
Accompanied by the damages of epithelial and capillary endothelial cell, acute lung injury is diagnosed with the typical pathological symptoms in clinic, including diffusing of pulmonary interstitial, alveolar oedema and hypoxic respiratory insufficiency. Current study focused on the investigation the anti-inflammatory action and mechanisms of total flavonoids extract (TFE) from Abutilon theophrasti Medic. leaves on ALI mice induced by LPSs. Mice were administrated intragastrically with TFE at the concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, or 1.0 g/kg for 5 days, and on last day, nasal administration of LPSs for 6 h after 30 min for intragastric administration of TFE. Pretreatment with TFE not only reduced oxidative damage but also alleviated lung edema in ALI mice. Increased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6, caused by LPSs was reversed by TFE; on the contrary, the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was upregulated. The proteins expressions of pro-inflammatory mediators iNOS and COX-2 induced by LPSs, were down-regulated by TFE. Moreover, the activation of NF-κB and MAPK signalling pathways was inhibited by TFE in LPSs induced ALI mice. The results revealed that the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of TFE were via inhibition of NF-κB and MAPK activation. Combined, the results suggested that TFE might exert in vivo antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions in LPSs stimulated mice, and will be potential in adjuvant treatment in oxidative stress and inflammation diseases.

Molecules 2018; 23:molecules23061445. [PMID: 29899226 PMCID: PMC6099609 DOI: 10.3390/molecules23061445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2018] [Revised: 06/07/2018] [Accepted: 06/09/2018] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Alkaloids 1–10 were isolated from the aerial parts of Tetrastigma hemsleyanum (APTH) and obtained from species of the genus Tetrastigma for the first time. The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were identified by NMR, UV, and MS analyses. Their anti-inflammatory activities were investigated by measuring nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 macrophages. Among all the isolates, compounds 6, 7 and 10 showed potent inhibitory activity against LPS-stimulated NO production in RAW264.7 cells (IC50: 31.9, 25.2 and 6.3 μM, respectively). Furthermore, APTH and S-(−)-trolline (10) inhibited induction of inflammatory cytokines or mediators such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) via suppression of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) translocation into the nucleus. In addition, 10 suppressed extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner. These results conclusively demonstrated that compound 10 displays anti-inflammatory activity via suppression of NF-κB activation and the ERK-MAPK signaling pathway in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells.

Abstract
We investigated the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of quercetin in monosodium urate crystals (MSU)-induced gout arthritis, and the sensitivity of quercetin effects to naloxone, an opioid receptor antagonist. Mice were treated with quercetin, and mechanical hyperalgesia was assessed at 1-24 h after MSU injection. In vivo, leukocyte recruitment, cytokine levels, oxidative stress, NFκB activation, and gp91phox and inflammasome components (NLRP3, ASC, Pro-caspase-1, and Pro-IL-1β) mRNA expression by qPCR were determined in the knee joints at 24 h after MSU injection. Inflammasome activation was determined, in vitro, in lipopolysaccharide-primed macrophages challenged with MSU. Quercetin inhibited MSU-induced mechanical hyperalgesia, leukocyte recruitment, TNFα and IL-1β production, superoxide anion production, inflammasome activation, decrease of antioxidants levels, NFκB activation, and inflammasome components mRNA expression. Naloxone pre-treatment prevented all the inhibitory effects of quercetin over MSU-induced gout arthritis. These results demonstrate that quercetin exerts analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect in the MSU-induced arthritis in a naloxone-sensitive manner.
