Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:603. [PMID: 38790708 PMCID: PMC11118839 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13050603] [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: 04/17/2024] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Blue light is the higher-energy region of the visible spectrum. Excessive exposure to blue light is known to induce oxidative stress and is harmful to the eyes. The stems of Dendrobium nobile Lindl. (Orchidaceae), named Jinchaishihu, have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for nourishing yin, clearing heat, and brightening the eyes. The polysaccharide is one of the major components in D. nobile. However, the effect on ocular cells remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether the polysaccharide from D. nobile can protect the eyes from blue light-induced injury. A crude (DN-P) and a partially purified polysaccharide (DN-PP) from D. nobile were evaluated for their protective effects on blue light-induced damage in ARPE-19 and 661W cells. The in vivo study investigated the electroretinographic response and the expression of phototransduction-related genes in the retinas of a Drosophila model. The results showed that DN-P and DN-PP could improve blue light-induced damage in ARPE-19 and 661W cells, including cell viability, antioxidant activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS)/superoxide production, and reverse opsin 3 protein expression in a concentration-dependent manner. The in vivo study indicated that DN-P could alleviate eye damage and reverse the expression of phototransduction-related genes, including ninaE, norpA, Gαq, Gβ76C, Gγ30A, TRP, and TRPL, in a dose-dependent manner in blue light-exposed Drosophila. In conclusion, this is the first report demonstrating that D. nobile polysaccharide pretreatment can protect retinal cells and retinal photoreceptors from blue light-induced damage. These results provide supporting evidence for the beneficial potential of D. nobile in preventing blue light-induced eye damage and improving eyesight.

Therapeutic Application of Dendrobium fimbriatum Hook for Retinopathy Caused by Ultraviolet Radiation and Chemotherapy Using ARPE-19 Cells and Mouse Retina. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:617. [PMID: 38475464 DOI: 10.3390/plants13050617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
Retinopathy caused by ultraviolet radiation and cancer chemotherapy has increased dramatically in humans due to rapid environmental and social changes. Therefore, it is very important to develop therapeutic strategies to effectively alleviate retinopathy. In China, people often choose dendrobium to improve their eyesight. In this study, we explored how Dendrobium fimbriatum extract (DFE) protects ARPE-19 cells and mouse retinal tissue from damage of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and chemotherapy. We evaluated the antioxidant capacity of DFE using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-trinitophenylhydrazine (DPPH) assay. The protective effects of DEF from UV- and oxaliplatin (OXA)-induced damage were examined in ARPE-19 cells using 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and immunofluorescence (IF) stains, and in mouse retinal tissue using immunohistochemistry (IHC) stains. Our results show that DFE has excellent antioxidant capacity. The ARPE-19 cell viability was decreased and the F-actin cytoskeleton structure was damaged by UV radiation and OXA chemotherapy, but both were alleviated after the DFE treatment. Furthermore, DFE treatment can alleviate OXA chemotherapy-induced reduced expressions of rhodopsin and SOD2 and increased expressions of TNF-α and caspase 3 in mouse retinal tissue. Thus, we suggest that DFE can act as suitable treatment for retinopathy through reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis.

Abstract
Dendrobium nobile is a traditional Chinese herb with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties. However, its antiaging effects are unclear. Herein, we studied the aging-related functions and the mechanism of action of the alcohol extract of Dendrobium nobile (DnAE) in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. The results indicated that 1 mg/mL DnAE slowed lipofuscin accumulation, decreased the levels of reactive oxygen species, elevated superoxide dismutase activity, enhanced oxidative and heat stress resistance, extended the lifespan of nematodes, protected their dopamine neurons from 6-hydroxydopamine-induced neurodegeneration, and reduced Aβ-induced neurotoxicity. DnAE upregulated the mRNA expression of the transcription factors DAF-16 and HSF-1, promoted the nuclear localization of DAF-16, and enhanced the fluorescence intensity of HSP-16.2. However, it had no effect on the lifespan of DAF-16 mutants. Thus, DnAE can significantly extend lifespan, enhance heat stress tolerance, and delay age-related diseases through a DAF-16-dependent pathway.

Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1294402. [PMID: 38149273 PMCID: PMC10749937 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1294402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Dendrobium nobile (D. nobile), a valued Chinese herb known for its diverse pharmacological effects, owes much of its potency to the bioactive compound dendrobine. However, dendrobine content varies significantly with plant age, and the mechanisms governing this variation remain unclear. This study delves into the potential role of endophytic fungi in shaping host-microbe interactions and influencing plant metabolism. Methods Using RNA-seq, we examined the transcriptomes of 1-year-old, 2-year-old, and 3-year-old D. nobile samples and through a comprehensive analysis of endophytic fungal communities and host gene expression in D. nobile stems of varying ages, we aim to identify associations between specific fungal taxa and host genes. Results The results revealing 192 differentially expressed host genes. These genes exhibited a gradual decrease in expression levels as the plants aged, mirroring dendrobine content changes. They were enriched in 32 biological pathways, including phagosome, fatty acid degradation, alpha-linolenic acid metabolism, and plant hormone signal transduction. Furthermore, a significant shift in the composition of the fungal community within D. nobile stems was observed along the age gradient. Olipidium, Hannaella, and Plectospherella dominated in 1-year-old plants, while Strelitziana and Trichomerium prevailed in 2-year-old plants. Conversely, 3-year-old plants exhibited additional enrichment of endophytic fungi, including the genus Rhizopus. Two gene expression modules (mediumpurple3 and darkorange) correlated significantly with dominant endophytic fungi abundance and dendrobine accumulation. Key genes involved in dendrobine synthesis were found associated with plant hormone synthesis. Discussion This study suggests that the interplay between different endophytic fungi and the hormone signaling system in D. nobile likely regulates dendrobine biosynthesis, with specific endophytes potentially triggering hormone signaling cascades that ultimately influence dendrobine synthesis.

Abstract
Our previous study reported that the marine dietary bioactive compound fucoxanthin (FX) has the potential to reduce the level of oxidation in retinal Müller cells (RMCs) induced by ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation. However, the gastrointestinal environment can inhibit the bioavailability and absorption of FX in the cell systems. In the current study, FX was initially digested in a simulated in vitro gastrointestinal fluid. Nine main digestive products were identified, and the photoprotective activities of FX simulated in vitro gastrointestinal digestion products (FX-ID) were assessed in the same RMC model. FX-ID significantly reduced intracellular ROS and alleviated apoptosis. Western blot assays showed that FX-ID inhibited phosphorylated proteins in the MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways. Our proteomics analysis revealed that the differentially expressed proteins were linked to biological networks associated with antioxidation and metabolic processes. The data may provide insight into the photoprotective mechanisms of FX-ID and promote the development of various functional foods to prevent retinal disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the neuroprotective effect of idebenone against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage in retinal ganglion cells-5 (RGC-5 cells). METHODS RGC-5 cells were pre-treated with various idebenone concentrations (5, 10, and 20 µM) for 12 h and were then subjected to 300 µM H2O2 for a further 12 h. Apoptosis in RGC-5 was measured by flow cytometry. The changes of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were detected by JC-1 staining. Autophagy in RGC-5 cells was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Western blots were used to measure the expression of autophagy-related protein light chain 3 (LC3), Beclin-1, and the release of Cytochrome c (Cyt-c). RESULTS Flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis rates in the normal control group, H2O2 group, and idebenone groups were 6.48 ± 0.55%, 27.3 ± 0.51%, 22.8 ± 0.52%, 15.45 ± 0.81%, and 12.59 ± 0.58%, respectively (F = 559.7, P < 0.0001). After incubation with H2O2, the number of autophagosomes increased significantly, whereas it was decreased in the idebenone groups. After incubation of RGC-5 cells with H2O2, MMP levels were significantly decreased, while idebenone could prevent the decrease in MMP levels. Compared with that in the normal control group, LC3 II/I, the expression levels of Beclin-1 and Cyt-c were increased significantly in the H2O2 group (P < 0.05). Compared with that in the H2O2 group, LC3 II/I, the expression of Beclin-1 and Cyt-c was significantly decreased in idebenone groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Idebenone protects RGC-5 cells against H2O2-induced oxidative damage by reducing mitochondrial damage and autophagic activity.

Abstract
Strategies for improving the quality of oocytes have important theoretical and practical significance for increasing the efficiency of livestock breeding. In this respect, the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a major factor affecting the development of oocytes and embryos. This study investigated the effects of Dendrobium nobile extract (DNE) on the in vitro maturation of bovine oocytes and embryonic development after IVF. DNE is an extract from Dendrobium rhizomes that contains alkaloids with anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-ageing functions. Various concentrations of DNE (0, 5, 10, 20 and 50 μmol/L) were added during oocyte maturation in vitro, and we found that 10 μmol/L of DNE remarkably increased the oocyte maturation rate, the subsequent blastocyst formation rate and embryo quality. Further, we found that DNE treatment decreased the frequency of spindle/chromosome defects and ROS and increased the oocyte glutathione and mitochondrial membrane potential in oocytes. Moreover, DNE upregulated the expression of oxidative stress-related genes (Sirt1, Sirt2, Sirt3 and Sod1) in oocytes and apoptosis-related genes (Caspase-3, Caspase-4, Bax, Bcl-xl and Survivin) in blastocysts. These results suggest that DNE supplementation can promote oocyte maturation and subsequent embryonic development by regulating redox reactions and inhibiting embryonic apoptosis.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by low-grade inflammation and cartilage degradation. Dendrobine (DEN) is reported to inhibit inflammation and oxidative stress in some diseases, but its role in chondrocyte senescence and OA progress has not yet been elucidated. Our study aimed to explore the protective effects of DEN on OA both in vitro and in vivo. We found that DEN inhibited extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and promoted ECM synthesis. Meanwhile, DEN inhibited senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors expression and senescence phenotype in IL-1β-treated chondrocytes. Furthermore, DEN improved mitochondrial function and reduced the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Also, DEN suppressed IL-1β-induced activation of the NF-κB pathway. Further, using NAC (ROS inhibitor), we found that DEN might inhibit NF-κB cascades by reducing ROS. Additionally, X-ray, micro-CT, and histological analyses in vivo demonstrated that DEN significantly alleviated cartilage inflammation, ECM degradation, and subchondral alterations in OA progression. In conclusion, DEN inhibits SASP factors expression and senescence phenotype in chondrocytes and alleviated the progression of OA via the ROS/NF-κB axis, which provides innovative strategies for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
Introduction Altitude, as a comprehensive ecological factor, regulates the growth and development of plants and microbial distribution. Dendrobium nobile (D. nobile) planted in habitats at different elevations in Chishui city, also shows metabolic differences and endophytes diversity. What is the triangular relationship between altitude, endophytes, and metabolites? Methods In this study, the diversity and species of endophytic fungi were tested by ITS sequencing and metabolic differences in plants were tested by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Elevation regulated the colonization of plant endophytic fungal species and fatty acid metabolites in D. nobile. Results The results indicate that and high altitude was better for the accumulation of fatty acid metabolites. Therefore, the high-altitude characteristic endophytic floras were screened, and the correlation with fatty acid metabolites of plants was built. The colonization of T. rubrigenum, P. Incertae sedis unclassified, Phoma. cf. nebulosa JZG 2008 and Basidiomycota unclassified showed a significantly positive correlation with fatty acid metabolites, especially 18-carbon-chain fatty acids, such as (6Z,9Z,12Z)-octadeca-6,9,12-trienoic acid, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-12-oxohexadeca-2,4-dienoic acid and Octadec-9-en-12-ynoic acid. What is more fascinating is these fatty acids are the essential substrates of plant hormones. Discussion Consequently, it was speculated that the D. nobile- colonizing endophytic fungi stimulated or upregulated the synthesis of fatty acid metabolites and even some plant hormones, thus affecting the metabolism and development of D. nobile.

Ye M, Liu J, Deng G, Cai X, Zhang X, Yao L, Wu J, He X, Peng D, Yu N. Protective effects of Dendrobium huoshanense polysaccharide on D-gal induced PC12 cells and aging mice, in vitro and in vivo studies. J Food Biochem 2022; 46:e14496. [PMID: 36350934 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.14496] [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: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 07/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Dendrobium huoshanense C. Z. Tang et S. J. Cheng polysaccharide (DHP) is the essential active ingredient of D.huoshanense and has high medicinal value. A high dose of D-galactose (D-gal) is commonly utilized in the aging model establishment. In this study, we explored whether DHP shields PC12 cells and aging mice from D-gal caused damage and the possible mechanism. In vitro experiments, D-gal induced PC12 cells were used to investigate, and then DHP was used for treatment. In vivo experiments, 72 SPF ICR male mice were randomly divided into six groups (control: normal saline; model: D-gal (400 mg/kg); VE group: VE (50 μg/ml); DHP groups: D-gal + DHP (15.6 mg/ml; 31.2 mg/ml; 62.4 mg/ml)). The results showed that DHP could enhance the viability of D-gal injured PC12 cells and prevent cell apoptosis. DHP effectively promoted the transition from phase G0/G1 to phase S and inhibited cell cycle arrest. DHP has a potential neuroprotective effect on D-gal caused cognitive and memory disorders in mice. On the one hand, DHP protects the antioxidant enzymes SOD, GSH-PX, and CAT from excessive ROS buildup. On the other hand, DHP was demonstrated to block the expression of the P53/P21 signaling pathway-related proteins P53, P21, and P16. These results imply that DHP could be a potential neuroprotective agent against aging. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Cognitive and memory decline caused by aging problems has become a problem in recent years. There are many theories about aging, among which oxidative stress is considered to be one of the important pathophysiological parts of various diseases in the aging process. In this study, DHP could not only improve the damage of D-Gal to PC12 cells, but also improve the cognitive and memory impairment caused by D-Gal in mice. In conclusion, this study verified the anti-aging effect of DHP from in vitro and in vivo experiments, and its mechanism may involve the P53/P21 pathway. Therefore, this study indicated that polysaccharides from Dendrobium huoshanense, a traditional Chinese medicine of homologous medicine and food, had potential and industrial value as potential anti-aging drugs.

Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2022; 454:116217. [PMID: 36058301 DOI: 10.1016/j.taap.2022.116217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2022] [Revised: 08/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/27/2022] [Indexed: 10/31/2022]
Abstract
Skin offers protection, regulation, and sensation to the body. In collaboration with other stromal cells of the skin, keratinocytes, which differentiate from epidermis basal layers (low) to outer layers (high) leading to the stratum corneum, ensure that skin barrier function is achieved. Despite this, age-related inflammation and oxidative stress in the skin can negatively impact skin quality. Antioxidants can protect against skin damage, preventing skin aging or even reversing to some extent. Previous studies showed that Dendrobium Nobile (D. nobile) resists aging, prolongs life span, and attenuates oxidative damage and inflammation in various models. However, how D. nobile protects skin against aging or other damage is not well described yet. Therefore, in this study, a keratinocyte cell line (HACAT) was used to investigate the effect of dendrobine, the main active component of D. nobile, on oxidative damage in skin. We found that dendrobine reduced the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species by regulating the balance of antioxidant enzymes and oxidases, as well as decreased the cell apoptosis in H2O2-induced HACAT. Dendrobine also significantly activated the nuclear erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2)/Keap1 signaling pathway. However, this antioxidant effect of dendrobine was abolished after Nrf2 gene being silenced. The results showed that dendrobine could resist the oxidative damage of skin cells, and its antioxidant function is related to the up-regulation of antioxidant enzymes as well as activation of Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway.

Efficacy of the Nourishing Yin and Clearing Heat Therapy Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Prevention and Treatment of Radiotherapy-Induced Oral Mucositis in Nasopharyngeal Carcinomas: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Thirty Randomized Controlled Trials. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:4436361. [PMID: 35529930 PMCID: PMC9068295 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4436361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Revised: 02/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of nourishing Yin and clearing heat therapy (NYCH therapy) based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis (RTOM) in nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPCs). A total of eight online databases were searched from inception to September 2021 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The control group was treated with Western medicine (WM) alone, whereas the experimental group was treated with a combined NYCH and WM therapy. A total of 30 RCTs involving 2562 participants were ultimately included. NYCH therapy combined with conventional WM delayed the onset time (days) of RTOM (MD = 10.80, p < 0.001), and at that time, a higher cumulative radiotherapy dose (Gy) (MD = 5.72, p < 0.001) was completed in the experimental group. The combination regimen also reduced the incidence of severe oral mucositis (Grade III–IV) (RR = 0.25, p < 0.001). In addition, the treatment efficacy of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group (RR = 1.31, p < 0.001). Compared with the patients in the control group, the experimental group had lower xerostomia scores (MD = -1.07, p < 0.001) and more saliva (MD = 0.36, p < 0.001). NYCH combined with WM improved the efficacy of treating RTOM in NPC. This study provides a sufficient basis for conducting further large RCTs to prove the efficacy of NYCH.
