Dihydroquercetin improves experimental acute liver failure by targeting ferroptosis and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis through the SIRT1/p53 axis. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 128:155533. [PMID: 38552433 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155533] [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: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ferroptosis and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis are both involved in the pathogenesis of acute liver failure (ALF). Ferroptosis-produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) trigger the chain oxidation of polyunsaturated phospholipids and promote mitochondrial apoptosis. Dihydroquercetin (DHQ) also plays an important protective role against liver injury. PURPOSE Here, we aimed to investigate the protective effects of DHQ on ALF. We also explored the underlying mechanism. METHODS We established a Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/D-galactosamine (D-Gal)-induced ALF mouse model and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)/D-Gal-induced ALF LO2 cell model. 2',7'-Dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) and Dihydroethidium (DHE) were used to detect total ROS levels. Lipid ROS was assessed using C11-BODIPY flow cytometry. Lipid peroxidative products levels were detected using MDA ELISA assay and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) immunohistochemistry. QRT-PCR and western blots were used to test mRNA and protein expression levels, respectively. Cell viability was evaluated with CCK8 assay, and apoptosis was analyzed using flow cytometry. RESULTS DHQ treatment improved LPS/D-Gal-induced ALF, as well as TNF-α/D-Gal-induced reductions in LO2 viability and increased sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression. DHQ pretreatment also reduced the accumulation of ROS, reduced lipid peroxidation, elevated mitochondrial membrane potentials (ΔΨm), and decreased liver cell apoptosis both in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, the knockdown of SIRT1 and p53 activator (Tenovin-6) treatment reversed DHQ's inhibitory effects on ferroptosis and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in vitro. DHQ enhanced p53 deacetylation by both up-regulating SIRT1 expression and directly bonding to SIRT1. We also found that Tenovin-6's stimulatory effects on ferroptosis and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in the DHQ-treated LO2 ALF cell model were partially attenuated by overexpression of solute carrier family 7member 11 (SLC7A11), as well as by apoptotic protease activating factor 1 (Apaf-1) knockdown. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that DHQ alleviated ALF by inhibiting both ferroptosis and mitochondria-mediated apoptosis by regulating the SIRT1/p53 axis. Thus, DHQ may serve as a novel therapy for ALF.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant health problem with elevated mortality rates, prompting intense exploration of its complex molecular mechanisms and innovative therapeutic avenues. Resveratrol (RSV), recognised for its anticancer effects through SIRT1 activation, is a promising candidate for CRC treatment. This study focuses on elucidating RSV's role in CRC progression, particularly its effect on autophagy-related apoptosis. Using bioinformatics, protein imprinting and immunohistochemistry, we established a direct correlation between FOXQ1 and adverse CRC prognosis. Comprehensive in vitro experiments confirmed RSV's ability to promote autophagy-related apoptosis in CRC cells. Plasmids for SIRT1 modulation were used to investigate underlying mechanisms. Molecular docking, glutathione-S-transferase pull-down experiments and immunoprecipitation highlighted RSV's direct activation of SIRT1, resulting in the inhibition of FOXQ1 expression. Downstream interventions identified ATG16L as a crucial autophagic target. In vivo and in vitro studies validated RSV's potential for CRC therapy through the SIRT1/FOXQ1/ATG16L pathway. This study establishes RSV's capacity to enhance autophagy-related cell apoptosis in CRC, positioning RSV as a prospective therapeutic agent for CRC within the SIRT1/FOXQ1/ATG16L pathway.

Abstract
Redox regulation is a fundamental physiological phenomenon related to oxygen-dependent metabolism, and skeletal muscle is mainly regarded as a primary site for oxidative phosphorylation. Several studies have revealed the importance of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) in the signaling process relating to muscle adaptation during exercise. To date, improving knowledge of redox signaling in modulating exercise adaptation has been the subject of comprehensive work and scientific inquiry. The primary aim of this review is to elucidate the molecular and biochemical pathways aligned to RONS as activators of skeletal muscle adaptation and to further identify the interconnecting mechanisms controlling redox balance. We also discuss the RONS-mediated pathways during the muscle adaptive process, including mitochondrial biogenesis, muscle remodeling, vascular angiogenesis, neuron regeneration, and the role of exogenous antioxidants.

[PMID: 38562461 PMCID: PMC10982351 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1368949] [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: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of mortality worldwide, with dietary factors being the main risk contributors. Diets rich in bioactive compounds, such as (poly)phenols, have been shown to potentially exert positive effects on vascular health. Among them, resveratrol has gained particular attention due to its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action. Nevertheless, the results in humans are conflicting possibly due to interindividual different responses. The gut microbiota, a complex microbial community that inhabits the gastrointestinal tract, has been called out as potentially responsible for modulating the biological activities of phenolic metabolites in humans. The present review aims to summarize the main findings from clinical trials on the effects of resveratrol interventions on endothelial and vascular outcomes and review potential mechanisms interesting the role of gut microbiota on the metabolism of this molecule and its cardioprotective metabolites. The findings from randomized controlled trials show contrasting results on the effects of resveratrol supplementation and vascular biomarkers without dose-dependent effect. In particular, studies in which resveratrol was integrated using food sources, i.e., red wine, reported significant effects although the resveratrol content was, on average, much lower compared to tablet supplementation, while other studies with often extreme resveratrol supplementation resulted in null findings. The results from experimental studies suggest that resveratrol exerts cardioprotective effects through the modulation of various antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-hypertensive pathways, and microbiota composition. Recent studies on resveratrol-derived metabolites, such as piceatannol, have demonstrated its effects on biomarkers of vascular health. Moreover, resveratrol itself has been shown to improve the gut microbiota composition toward an anti-inflammatory profile. Considering the contrasting findings from clinical studies, future research exploring the bidirectional link between resveratrol metabolism and gut microbiota as well as the mediating effect of gut microbiota in resveratrol effect on cardiovascular health is warranted.

Abstract
Introduction Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is known to be involved in sensing cellular energy levels and regulating energy metabolism. This study aimed to evaluate fasting serum SIRT1 levels in healthy children, and to analyse the influence of age, sex, puberty, body weight, height, and diet on its concentration. Methods 47 healthy children aged 4-14 with weight and height within normal range and no chronic disease were included into the study. Fasting serum SIRT1 concentrations were estimated by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Results Results showed that serum SIRT1 concentrations in healthy children did not differ with respect to sex, age, height, weight and puberty. Whereas, it appeared that a higher frequency of fruits, vegetables and dairy products consumption was associated with an increase in serum SIRT1 levels. Discussion Studying SIRT1 in the context of children's health may have implications for a broader understanding of growth processes, pubertal development, metabolic disorders and nutrition.

Abstract
Aquaculture has intensified tremendously with the increasing demand for protein sources as the global population grows. However, this industry is plagued with major challenges such as poor growth performance, the lack of a proper environment, and immune system impairment, thus creating stress for the aquaculture species and risking disease outbreaks. Currently, prophylactics such as antibiotics, vaccines, prebiotics, probiotics, and phytobiotics are utilized to minimize the negative impacts of high-density farming. One of the promising prophylactic agents incorporated in fish feed is resveratrol, a commercial phytophenol derived via the methanol extraction method. Recent studies have revealed many beneficial effects of resveratrol in aquatic animals. Therefore, this review discusses and summarizes the roles of resveratrol in improving growth performance, flesh quality, immune system, antioxidant capacity, disease resistance, stress mitigation, and potential combination with other prophylactic agents for aquatic animals.

Formulating Resveratrol and Melatonin Self-Nanoemulsifying Drug Delivery Systems (SNEDDS) for Ocular Administration Using Design of Experiments. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:125. [PMID: 38258134 PMCID: PMC10819881 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16010125] [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: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that Sirtuin-1 (SIRT-1)-activating molecules exert a protective role in degenerative ocular diseases. However, these molecules hardly reach the back of the eye due to poor solubility in aqueous environments and low bioavailability after topical application on the eye's surface. Such hindrances, combined with stability issues, call for the need for innovative delivery strategies. Within this context, the development of self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) for SIRT-1 delivery can represent a promising approach. The aim of the work was to design and optimize SNEDDS for the ocular delivery of two natural SIRT-1 agonists, resveratrol (RSV) and melatonin (MEL), with potential implications for treating diabetic retinopathy. Pre-formulation studies were performed by a Design of Experiment (DoE) approach to construct the ternary phase diagram. The optimization phase was carried out using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Four types of SNEDDS consisting of different surfactants (Tween® 80, Tween® 20, Solutol® HS15, and Cremophor® EL) were optimized to achieve the best physico-chemical parameters for ocular application. Stability tests indicated that SNEDDS produced with Tween® 80 was the formulation that best preserved the stability of molecules, and so it was, therefore, selected for further technological studies. The optimized formulation was prepared with Capryol® PGMC, Tween® 80, and Transcutol® P and loaded with RSV or MEL. The SNEDDS were evaluated for other parameters, such as the mean size (found to be ˂50 nm), size homogeneity (PDI < 0.2), emulsion time (around 40 s), transparency, drug content (>90%), mucoadhesion strength, in vitro drug release, pH and osmolarity, stability to dilution, and cloud point. Finally, an in vitro evaluation was performed on a rabbit corneal epithelial cell line (SIRC) to assess their cytocompatibility. The overall results suggest that SNEDDS can be used as promising nanocarriers for the ocular drug delivery of RSV and MEL.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction in pulmonary endothelial cells (ECs) plays a causative role in the initiation and progression of pulmonary hypertension (PH); how mitochondria become dysfunctional in PH remains elusive. Mitochondria-derived vesicles (MDVs) are small subcellular vesicles that excise from mitochondria. Whether MDV deregulation causes mitochondrial dysfunction in PH is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine MDV regulation in ECs and to elucidate how MDV deregulation in ECs leads to PH. MDV formation and mitochondrial morphology/dynamics were examined in ECs of EC-specific liver kinase B1 (LKB1) knockout mice (LKB1ec-/-), in monocrotaline-induced PH rats, and in lungs of patients with PH. Pulmonary ECs of patients with PH and hypoxia-treated pulmonary ECs exhibited increased mitochondrial fragmentation and disorganized mitochondrial ultrastructure characterized by electron lucent-swelling matrix compartments and concentric layering of the cristae network, together with defective MDV shedding. MDVs actively regulated mitochondrial membrane dynamics and mitochondrial ultrastructure via removing mitofission-related cargoes. The shedding of MDVs from parental mitochondria required LKB1-mediated mitochondrial recruitment of Rab9 GTPase. LKB1ec-/- mice spontaneously developed PH with decreased mitochondrial pools of Rab9 GTPase, defective MDV shedding, and disequilibrium of the mitochondrial fusion-fission cycle in pulmonary ECs. Aerosol intratracheal delivery of adeno-associated virus LKB1 reversed PH, together with improved MDV shedding and mitochondrial function in rats in vivo. We conclude that LKB1 regulates MDV shedding and mitochondrial dynamics in pulmonary ECs by enhancing mitochondrial recruitment of Rab9 GTPase. Defects of LKB1-mediated MDV shedding from parental mitochondria instigate EC dysfunction and PH.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) often induces severe sensory and motor dysfunction. Oxidative stress is an important pathophysiological process of secondary SCI, and its inhibition could facilitate the alleviation of the injury. Resveratrol is a natural plant polyphenol compound that has significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. It can inhibit oxidative stress by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signal pathway. In this report, we analyze the antioxidant effect of resveratrol in SCI, clarify the specific mechanism of action and provide a theoretical basis for the clinical employment of resveratrol for SCI.

Abstract
Resveratrol (3, 5, 4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a polyphenolic derivative with herbal origin. It has attracted considerable attention in recent decades. Many studies have revealed the benefits of Resveratrol over several human disease models, including heart and neurological diseases, nephroprotective, immune regulation, antidiabetic, anti-obesity, age-related diseases, antiviral, and anticancer in experimental and clinical conditions. Recently, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of Resveratrol have been observed, and it has been shown that Resveratrol reduces inflammatory biomarkers, such as tissue degradation factor, cyclooxygenase 2, nitric oxide synthase, and interleukins. All of these activities appear to be dependent on its structural properties, such as the number and position of the hydroxyl group, which regulates oxidative stress, cell death, and inflammation. Resveratrol is well tolerated and safe even at higher pharmacological doses and desirably affects cardiovascular, neurological, and diabetic diseases. Consequently, it is plausible that Resveratrol can be regarded as a beneficial nutritional additive and a complementary drug, particularly for therapeutic applications. The present review provides an overview of currently available investigations on preventive and therapeutic characteristics and the main molecular mechanisms of Resveratrol and its potent derivatives in various diseases. Thus, this review would enhance knowledge and information about Resveratrol and encourage researchers worldwide to consider it as a pharmaceutical drug to struggle with future health crises against different human disorders.

Kaffe D, Kaplanis SI, Karagogeos D. The Roles of Caloric Restriction Mimetics in Central Nervous System Demyelination and Remyelination. Curr Issues Mol Biol 2023; 45:9526-9548. [PMID: 38132442 PMCID: PMC10742427 DOI: 10.3390/cimb45120596] [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: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
The dysfunction of myelinating glial cells, the oligodendrocytes, within the central nervous system (CNS) can result in the disruption of myelin, the lipid-rich multi-layered membrane structure that surrounds most vertebrate axons. This leads to axonal degeneration and motor/cognitive impairments. In response to demyelination in the CNS, the formation of new myelin sheaths occurs through the homeostatic process of remyelination, facilitated by the differentiation of newly formed oligodendrocytes. Apart from oligodendrocytes, the two other main glial cell types of the CNS, microglia and astrocytes, play a pivotal role in remyelination. Following a demyelination insult, microglia can phagocytose myelin debris, thus permitting remyelination, while the developing neuroinflammation in the demyelinated region triggers the activation of astrocytes. Modulating the profile of glial cells can enhance the likelihood of successful remyelination. In this context, recent studies have implicated autophagy as a pivotal pathway in glial cells, playing a significant role in both their maturation and the maintenance of myelin. In this Review, we examine the role of substances capable of modulating the autophagic machinery within the myelinating glial cells of the CNS. Such substances, called caloric restriction mimetics, have been shown to decelerate the aging process by mitigating age-related ailments, with their mechanisms of action intricately linked to the induction of autophagic processes.

Abstract
Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol found in grapes and beneficial for human health. Resveratrol regulates basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-induced osteoprotegerin synthesis through Akt pathway in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In this study, we investigated resveratrol effects on bFGF-induced macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) synthesis in MC3T3-E1 cells. bFGF significantly stimulated release and mRNA expression of M-CSF, which was reduced by resveratrol and SRT1720, sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) activator. Inauhzin, SIRT1 inhibitor, reversed inhibitory effects of resveratrol on bFGF-induced mRNA expression of M-CSF. Deguelin, Akt inhibitor, and LY294002, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) inhibitor, reduced bFGF-induced M-CSF synthesis. Inauhzin reversed inhibitory effects of resveratrol on bFGF-induced Akt phosphorylation. Suppressive effect of resveratrol on bFGF-induced osteoprotegerin mRNA expression was confirmed in the identical samples using in experiment of M-CSF mRNA expression. Therefore, resveratrol reduces bFGF-induced M-CSF synthesis in addition to osteoprotegerin synthesis by inhibiting PI3-kinase/Akt pathway and suppressive effects are mediated through SIRT1 activation in osteoblasts.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Unhealthy dietary habits have clearly been shown to contribute to the development of CVDs. Beyond the primary nutrients, a healthy diet is also rich in plant-derived compounds. Natural polyphenols, found in fruits, vegetables, and red wine, have a clear role in improving cardiovascular health. In this review, we strive to summarize the results of the relevant pre-clinical and clinical trials that focused on some of the most important natural polyphenols, such as resveratrol and relevant flavonoids. In addition, we aim to identify their common sources, biosynthesis, and describe their mechanism of action including their regulatory effect on signal transduction pathways. Finally, we provide scientific evidence regarding the cardiovascular benefits of moderate, long-term red wine consumption.

Meat Sci 2023; 204:109287. [PMID: 37490793 DOI: 10.1016/j.meatsci.2023.109287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of resveratrol on slow-twitch muscle fiber expression in bovine myotubes. The results revealed that resveratrol enhanced slow myosin heavy chain (MyHC) and suppressed fast MyHC protein expression, accompanied by increased MyHC I/IIa and decreased MyHC IIx/IIb mRNA levels in bovine myotubes (P < 0.05). Resveratrol also enhanced the activities of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content, but reduced lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the protein and gene expression of AMPK, SIRT1 and PGC-1α were upregulated by resveratrol (P < 0.05). Furthermore, PGC-1α inhibitor SR-18292 could attenuate resveratrol-induced muscle fiber conversion from fast-twitch to slow-twitch. These results suggest that resveratrol might promote muscle fiber type transition from fast-twitch to slow-twitch through the AMPK/PGC-1α signaling pathway and mitochondrial biogenesis in bovine myotubes.

Abstract
Sirtuins are a family of proteins with enzymatic activity. There are seven mammalian sirtuins (SIRT1-SIRT7) that are found in different cellular compartments. They are a part of crucial cellular pathways and are regulated by many factors, such as chemicals, environmental stress, and phytochemicals. Several in vitro and in vivo studies have presented their involvement in anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiapoptotic processes. Recent findings imply that phytochemicals such as resveratrol, curcumin, quercetin, fisetin, berberine, and kaempferol may regulate the activity of sirtuins. Resveratrol mainly activates SIRT1 and indirectly activates AMPK. Curcumin influences mainly SIRT1 and SIRT3, but its activity is broad, and many pathways in different cells are affected. Quercetin mainly modulates SIRT1, which triggers antioxidant and antiapoptotic responses. Fisetin, through SIRT1 regulation, modifies lipid metabolism and anti-inflammatory processes. Berberine has a wide spectrum of effects and a significant impact on SIRT1 signaling pathways. Finally, kaempferol triggers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects through SIRT1 induction. This review aims to summarize recent findings on the properties of phytochemicals in the modulation of sirtuin activity, with a particular focus on biochemical aspects.

Abstract
Sirtuins are a family of NAD+-dependent deacylases with numerous physiological and pathological implications, which lately became an attractive therapeutic target. Sirtuin-activating compounds (STACs) could be useful in disease prevention and treatment. Despite its bioavailability issues, resveratrol exerts a myriad of beneficial effects, known as the "resveratrol paradox". Modulation of sirtuins' expression and activity may, in fact, underlie many of resveratrol revered actions; however, the cellular pathways affected by modulating the activity of each sirtuin isoform, in different physio-pathological conditions, are not fully known. The purpose of this review was to summarize recent reports concerning the effects of resveratrol on the activity of sirtuins in different experimental settings, focusing on in vitro and in vivo preclinical studies. Most reports concern SIRT1, however recent studies dive into the effects initiated via other isoforms. Numerous cellular signaling pathways were reported to be modulated by resveratrol in a sirtuin-dependent manner (increased phosphorylation of MAPKs, AKT, AMPK, RhoA, BDNF, decreased activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, NF-κB, STAT3, upregulation of SIRT1/SREBP1c pathway, reduced β-amyloid via SIRT1-NF-κB-BACE1 signaling and counteracting mitochondrial damage by deacetylating PGC-1α). Thus, resveratrol may be the ideal candidate in the search for STACs as a tool for preventing and treating inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction may cause cell death, which has recently emerged as a cancer prevention and treatment strategy mediated by chemotherapy drugs or phytochemicals. However, most existing drugs cannot target cancerous cells and may adversely affect normal cells via side effects. Mounting studies have revealed that phytochemicals such as resveratrol could ameliorate various diseases with dysfunctional or damaged mitochondria. For instance, resveratrol can regulate mitophagy, inhibit oxidative stress and preserve membrane potential, induce mitochondrial biogenesis, balance mitochondrial fusion and fission, and enhance the functionality of the electron transport chain. However, there are only a few studies suggesting that phytochemicals could potentially protect against the cytotoxicity of some current cancer drugs, especially those that damage mitochondria. Besides, COVID-19 and long COVID have also been reported to be correlated to mitochondrial dysfunction. Curcumin has been reported bringing a positive impact on COVID-19 and long COVID. Therefore, in this study, the benefits of resveratrol and curcumin to be applied for cancer treatment/prevention and disease amelioration were reviewed. Besides, this review also provides some perspectives on phytochemicals to be considered as a treatment adjuvant for COVID-19 and long COVID by targeting mitochondrial rescue. Hopefully, this review can provide new insight into disease treatment with phytochemicals targeting mitochondria.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to (i) investigate the effect of CYP3A4 variants on tofacitinib metabolism, and (ii) investigate the interaction of tofacitinib with resveratrol and its underlying mechanisms. The concentration of M9, the main metabolite of tofacitinib, was determined by ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The results showed that the clearance rate of CYP3A4.18 variant was significantly decreased compared with CYP3A4.1, and the CYP3A4.28 variant was changed, but not statistically significant. In addition, the potential interaction of resveratrol with tofacitinib was determined based on rat liver microsomes (RLM), human liver microsomes (HLM), and CYP3A4 response systems. Resveratrol has an IC50 of 15.67 μM in RLM with a non-competitive mechanism. In HLM with a non-competitive mechanism, the IC50 value was 8.88 μM. The IC50 values were 6.41 μM, 10.60 μM and 27.08 μM in CYP3A4.1, .18 and .28, respectively, all with a competitive mechanism. In the in vivo study, Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomized into two groups (n = 6) to receive tofacitinib with or without resveratrol. We found that the AUC(0-∞) of tofacitinib in the experimental group increased to around 207.5% compared with the control group. And Cmax increased to 260.0%. In summary, our data showed that resveratrol significantly affect the metabolism of tofacitinib, thus providing basic data for the precise clinical application of tofacitinib.

Abstract
Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) is a serine-threonine kinase that participates in multiple cellular and biological processes, including energy metabolism, cell polarity, cell proliferation, cell migration, and many others. LKB1 is initially identified as a germline-mutated causative gene in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) and is commonly regarded as a tumor suppressor due to frequent inactivation in a variety of cancers. LKB1 directly binds and activates its downstream kinases including the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and AMPK-related kinases by phosphorylation, which has been intensively investigated for the past decades. An increasing number of studies has uncovered the posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of LKB1 and consequent changes in its localization, activity, and interaction with substrates. The alteration in LKB1 function as a consequence of genetic mutations and aberrant upstream signaling regulation leads to tumor development and progression. Here, we review current knowledge about the mechanism of LKB1 in cancer and the contributions of PTMs, such as phosphorylation, ubiquitination, SUMOylation, acetylation, prenylation, and others, to the regulation of LKB1 function, offering new insights into the therapeutic strategies in cancer.

Abstract
Aging is associated with an increasing burden of morbidity, especially for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). General cardiovascular risk factors, ischemic heart diseases, heart failure, arrhythmias, and cardiomyopathies present a significant prevalence in older people, and are characterized by peculiar clinical manifestations that have distinct features compared with the same conditions in a younger population. Remarkably, the aging heart phenotype in both healthy individuals and patients with CVD reflects modifications at the cellular level. An improvement in the knowledge of the physiological and pathological molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac aging could improve clinical management of older patients and offer new therapeutic targets.

Resveratrol and SIRT1: Antiaging Cornerstones for Oocytes? Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14235101.

Abstract
It is well-known that there is an enormous variability in the aging-related decline of oocytes' quantity and their developmental competence among mammalian species. The implication of female germline aging is profound from the perspective of evolutionary conservation of the aging mechanism, a topic of continuous and widespread interest that has yet to be fully addressed for the mammalian oocyte. There is a certain need to develop novel antiaging strategies to delay or slow down aging, or even to reverse the aging phenotype in the oocyte. In the past two decades, several antioxidants have been tested for this purpose. Resveratrol is one of these latter-mentioned compounds, which has shown anti-inflammatory and antiaging properties in a dose-dependent manner. Interestingly, resveratrol appears to enhance the activity of so-called Sirtuin 1, too. Therefore, the aim of this review is to summarize and discuss the latest findings related to resveratrol, Sirtuin 1, and their crosstalk and influence on the mammalian oocyte to elucidate the question of whether these factors can delay or slow down reproductive aging.

Abstract
Transcription factors directly regulate gene expression by recognizing and binding to specific DNA sequences, involving the dynamic alterations of chromatin structure and the formation of a complex with different kinds of cofactors, like DNA/histone modifying-enzymes, chromatin remodeling factors, and cell cycle factors. Despite the significance of transcription factors, it remains unclear to determine how these cofactors are regulated to cooperate with transcription factors, especially DNA/histone modifying-enzymes. It has been known that DNA/histone modifying-enzymes are regulated by post-translational modifications. And the most common and important modification is phosphorylation. Even though various DNA/histone modifying-enzymes have been classified and partly explained how phosphorylated sites of these enzymes function characteristically in recent studies. It still needs to find out the relationship between phosphorylation of these enzymes and the diseases-associated transcriptional regulation. Here this review describes how phosphorylation affects the transcription activity of these enzymes and other functions, including protein stability, subcellular localization, binding to chromatin, and interaction with other proteins.

Abstract
Vascular metabolic dysfunction presents in various diseases, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. Due to the high prevalence of these diseases, it is important to explore treatment strategies to protect vascular function. Resveratrol (RSV), a natural polyphenolic phytochemical, is regarded as an agent to regulate metabolic pathways. Many studies have proven that RSV has beneficial effects on improving metabolism in endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which provide new directions to treat vascular metabolic diseases. Herein, we overviewed that RSV could regulate cell metabolism activity by inhibiting glucose uptake, suppressing glycolysis, preventing cells from fatty acid-related damages, reducing lipogenesis, increasing fatty acid oxidation, enhancing lipolysis, elevating uptake and synthesis of glutamine, and increasing NO release. Furthermore, in clinical trials, although the results from different studies remain controversial, we proposed that RSV had better therapeutic effects at high concentrations and for patients with metabolic disorders.

[PMID: 35820615 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpc.2022.109408] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 07/02/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Resveratrol (RES), as a polyphenol natural plant extract, mainly accumulates in the root of Polygonum cuspidatum, which can alleviate liver injury in mammals. Our study aims to explore the effects and potential mechanism of RES on lipid metabolism of red tilapia, and the effects of RES on liver structure, fat synthesis and metabolism of red tilapia were determined. The present study designed four groups named as 8 % fat (8%CK), 10 % fat (10 % HF), 10 % HF + RES and 10 % HF + RES + EX527 (selisistat). The liver tissues of red tilapia were collected at 3 (3 W), 6 (6 W) and 9 (9 W) weeks for parameter determination. Compared to the normal diet group, the hepatocyte of tilapia showed nuclear shift and vacuoles of different sizes when fed a high-fat diet. Meanwhile, the high-fat diet increased the contents of LDL, TC and TG significantly at 6 W, and significantly decreased the content of NAD+ at 9 W. Compared to the high-fat group, the nuclei of tilapia fed with RES were increased and visible, the degree of steatosis and the number of vacuoles were both reduced. At 3/6/9 W, RES significantly decreased the contents of LDL, TG and TMAO, and significantly increased the content of NAD+. A total of 1416 genes were up-regulated and 1928 genes were down-regulated in the group with added RES when compared to the 10 % HF group. The pathways related to lipid metabolism including PPAR signaling pathway have been enriched. Interestingly, the expressions of sirt1, pparα, fabp7 and cpt1b genes were up-regulated in RES diet group, while the expressions of pparγ, me1, scd and lpl genes were down-regulated. After the addition of an inhibitor (EX527), the above indexes showed an opposite trend when compared to the group with added RES. The overall results showed that the high-fat diet could cause fatty liver lesions in the liver of red tilapia, and RES could activate the sirt1 gene, regulate the PPARα/γ pathway and related genes, and thus regulate liver fat synthesis and metabolism leading to the alleviation of damage to liver tissue.

Abstract
Silent mating type information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1), an NAD+-dependent histone/protein deacetylase, has multifarious physiological roles in development, metabolic regulation, and stress response. Thus, its abnormal expression or malfunction is implicated in pathogenesis of various diseases. SIRT1 undergoes post-translational modifications, including phosphorylation, oxidation/reduction, carbonylation, nitrosylation, glycosylation, ubiquitination/deubiquitination, SUMOylation etc. which can modulate its catalytic activity, stability, subcellular localization, and also binding affinity for substrate proteins. This short review highlights the regulation of SIRT1 post-translational modifications and their pathophysiologic implications.

Abstract
Methods The mitochondrial dysfunction of HCE-2 human corneal epithelial cells was induced by high osmotic pressure exposure and treated with resveratrol (50 μM). Western blotting was used to detect the expression of the antioxidant proteins SOD2, GPx, and SIRT1, and flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis and ROS production. The DED mouse model was induced by 0.2% benzalkonium chloride (BAC) and treated with resveratrol. The tear yield was measured by the phenol cotton thread test, the density of cup cells in the conjunctiva was measured by periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining, and the expression levels of SIRT1, GPx, and SOD2 in lacrimal glands were detected by Western blotting. Results In hypertonic conditions, the apoptosis of HCE-2 cells increased, the expression of the antioxidant proteins SOD2 and GPx decreased, ROS production increased, and the expression of SIRT1 protein, an essential regulator of mitochondrial function, was downregulated. Treatment with resveratrol reversed the mitochondrial dysfunction mediated by high osmotic pressure. In the DED mouse model, resveratrol treatment promoted tear production and goblet cell number in DED mice, decreased corneal fluorescein staining, upregulated SIRT1 expression, and induced SOD2 and GPx expression in DED mice. Conclusion Resveratrol alleviates mitochondrial dysfunction by promoting SIRT1 expression, thus reducing ocular surface injury in mice with dry eye. This study suggests a new path against DED.

Synergistic Tumor Inhibition via Energy Elimination by Repurposing Penfluridol and 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose in Lung Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14112750.

Abstract
Simple Summary Drug repurposing has been effective for discovering novel treatments for cancer. The antipsychotic agent penfluridol was reported to suppress lung cancer growth via ATP energy deprivation. The aim of our study was to investigate how penfluridol influences energy metabolism in lung cancer cells. We observed that penfluridol inhibited mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), but induced glycolysis to compensate for the loss of ATP caused by suppression of mitochondrial OXPHOS. We also confirmed that inhibition of glycolysis by 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) significantly augmented the antitumor effects caused by penfluridol in vitro and in vivo. Our studies provide novel insights into repurposing penfluridol combined with 2-DG for lung cancer treatment. Abstract Energy metabolism is the basis for cell growth, and cancer cells in particular, are more energy-dependent cells because of rapid cell proliferation. Previously, we found that penfluridol, an antipsychotic drug, has the ability to trigger cell growth inhibition of lung cancer cells via inducing ATP energy deprivation. The toxic effect of penfluridol is related to energy metabolism, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Herein, we discovered that treatment of A549 and HCC827 lung cancer cells with penfluridol caused a decrease in the total amount of ATP, especially in A549 cells. An Agilent Seahorse ATP real-time rate assay revealed that ATP production rates from mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis were, respectively, decreased and increased after penfluridol treatment. Moreover, the amount and membrane integrity of mitochondria decreased, but glycolysis-related proteins increased after penfluridol treatment. Furthermore, we observed that suppression of glycolysis by reducing glucose supplementation or using 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) synergistically enhanced the inhibitory effect of penfluridol on cancer cell growth and the total amount of mitochondria. A mechanistic study showed that the penfluridol-mediated energy reduction was due to inhibition of critical regulators of mitochondrial biogenesis, the sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)/peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor co-activator-1α (PGC-1α) axis. Upregulation of the SIRT1/PGC-1α axis reversed the inhibitory effect of penfluridol on mitochondrial biogenesis and cell viability. Clinical lung cancer samples revealed a positive correlation between PGC-1α (PPARGC1A) and SIRT1 expression. In an orthotopic lung cancer mouse model, the anticancer activities of penfluridol, including growth and metastasis inhibition, were also enhanced by combined treatment with 2DG. Our study results strongly support that a combination of repurposing penfluridol and a glycolysis inhibitor would be a good strategy for enhancing the anticancer activities of penfluridol in lung cancer.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and cognitive impairment; yet, there is currently no treatment. A buildup of Aβ, tau protein phosphorylation, oxidative stress, and inflammation in AD is pathogenic. The accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides in these neurocognitive areas is a significant characteristic of the disease. Therefore, inhibiting Aβ peptide aggregation has been proposed as the critical therapeutic approach for AD treatment. Resveratrol has been demonstrated in multiple studies to have a neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant characteristic and the ability to minimize Aβ peptides aggregation and toxicity in the hippocampus of Alzheimer's patients, stimulating neurogenesis and inhibiting hippocampal degeneration. Furthermore, resveratrol's antioxidant effect promotes neuronal development by activating the silent information regulator-1 (SIRT1), which can protect against the detrimental effects of oxidative stress. Resveratrol-induced SIRT1 activation is becoming more crucial in developing novel therapeutic options for AD and other diseases that have neurodegenerative characteristics. This review highlighted a better knowledge of resveratrol's mechanism of action and its promising therapeutic efficacy in treating AD. We also highlighted the therapeutic potential of resveratrol as an AD therapeutic agent, which is effective against neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Our previous study confirmed that polydatin (PD) can alleviate sepsis-induced multiorgan dysfunction (in the vascular endothelium, kidney, and small intestine) by activating Sirt1 and that PD protects against traumatic brain injury in rats via increased Sirt1 and inhibition of the p38-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. We aim to investigate whether PD may also attenuate sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE). METHODS In this study, we constructed an SAE mouse model by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and measured Sirt1 protein activity, p38 phosphorylation, brain tissue pathological damage, pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6), mitochondrial function (mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP content, and reactive oxygen species), neurological function, and animal survival time. Sirt1 selective inhibitor Ex527 and p38 inhibitor SB203580 were used to explore the possible mechanism of PD in SAE. RESULTS We confirmed that PD inhibits neuroinflammation evidenced by reduced proinflammatory cytokines. In addition, PD protects mitochondria as demonstrated by restored mitochondrial membrane potential and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content, and decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. As we expected, p38 inhibition reduces neuroinflammation and mitochondrial damage. In contrast, Sirt1 inhibition aggravates cerebral cortex mitochondrial damage and neuroinflammation and promotes phosphorylation of p38. Mechanistically, PD treatment suppressed p38 phosphorylation and consequently reduced the neuroinflammatory response, and these effects were blocked by the Sirt selective inhibitor Ex527. CONCLUSIONS This study, to the best of our knowledge, is the first to demonstrate that PD alleviates SAE, at least partially, by upregulating Sir1-mediated neuroinflammation inhibition and mitochondrial function protection.

Abstract
Perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) is a serious nervous system complication characterized by progressive cognitive impairment, especially in geriatric population. However, the neuropathogenesis of PND is complex, and there are no approved disease-modifying therapeutic options. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been demonstrated to contribute to the occurrence and development of PND. Transcranial near-infrared (tNIR) light treatment helps to improve mitochondrial dysfunction and enhance cognition, but its effect on PND remains unclear. Here, we evaluated the effect of tNIR light treatment on PND caused by anesthesia and surgery in aged mice. We built the PND models with 18-month C57BL/6 male mice by exploratory laparotomy under isoflurane inhalation anesthesia, and treated by tNIR light with wavelength 810 nm for 2 weeks. The short-term and long-term changes in cognitive function were analyzed by behavioral tests. We further explored the effects of tNIR light on mitochondria, synapses, neurons, and signaling pathways through different experimental methods. The results demonstrated that the cognitive impairment and mitochondrial dysfunction in PND mice were ameliorated after tNIR light treatment. Further experiments demonstrated that photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) increased synapse-related protein expression, neuronal survival, and protected synapse from depletion. Moreover, downregulated sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) were increased after tNIR light treatment. Our results suggested that tNIR light was an effective treatment of PND through PBMT effect, accompanied by synaptic and neuronal improvement. The improvement of mitochondrial dysfunction mediated by SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway might participate in this process. Those findings might provide a novel and noninvasive therapeutic target for PND.

Abstract
Deleted in Breast Cancer 1 (DBC1) is an important metabolic sensor. Previous studies have implicated DBC1 in various cellular functions, notably cell proliferation, apoptosis, histone modification, and adipogenesis. However, current reports about the role of DBC1 in tumorigenesis are controversial and designate DBC1 alternatively as a tumor suppressor or a tumor promoter. In the present study, we report that polyoma small T antigen (PyST) associates with DBC1 in mammalian cells, and this interaction leads to the posttranslational downregulation of DBC1 protein levels. When coexpressed, DBC1 overcomes PyST-induced mitotic arrest and promotes the exit of cells from mitosis. Using both transient and stable modes of PyST expression, we also show that cellular DBC1 is subjected to degradation by LKB1, a tumor suppressor and cellular energy sensor kinase, in an AMP kinase-independent manner. Moreover, LKB1 negatively regulates the phosphorylation as well as activity of the prosurvival kinase AKT1 through DBC1 and its downstream pseudokinase substrate, Tribbles 3 (TRB3). Using both transient transfection and stable cell line approaches as well as soft agar assay, we demonstrate that DBC1 has oncogenic potential. In conclusion, our study provides insight into a novel signaling axis that connects LKB1, DBC1, TRB3, and AKT1. We propose that the LKB1–DBC1–AKT1 signaling paradigm may have an important role in the regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis and consequently tumorigenesis.
