Abstract
The development of liver fibrosis is a result of chronic liver injuries may progress to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. In recent years, liver fibrosis has become a major global problem, and the incidence rate and mortality are increasing year by year. However, there are currently no approved treatments. Research on anti-liver-fibrosis drugs is a top priority. Dietary polyphenols, such as plant secondary metabolites, have remarkable abilities to reduce lipid metabolism, insulin resistance and inflammation, and are attracting more and more attention as potential drugs for the treatment of liver diseases. Gradually, dietary polyphenols are becoming the focus for providing an improvement in the treatment of liver fibrosis. The impact of dietary polyphenols on the composition of intestinal microbiota and the subsequent production of intestinal microbial metabolites has been observed to indirectly modulate signaling pathways in the liver, thereby exerting regulatory effects on liver disease. In conclusion, there is evidence that dietary polyphenols can be therapeutically useful in preventing and treating liver fibrosis, and we highlight new perspectives and key questions for future drug development.

[PMID: 37490819 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2022] [Revised: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023]
Abstract
Ferritin has a unique hollow spherical structure, which makes it a promising nanocarrier for food functional substances. In this study, a new ferritin was successfully extracted from the liver of Northern pike, purified, and identified. We used the reversible self-assembly characteristics of ferritin to fabricate chlorogenic acid (CA)-loaded apoferritin (Apo) complex (Apo-CA) and sodium alginate (SA)-apoferritin (Apo) co-encapsulate system. Apo-CA was encapsulated into the SA system to form SA-Apo-CA. The fabricated composites were analyzed using particle size, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, flourier transform infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscope. Physicochemical property of analysis confirmed th successful preparation of Apo-CA/SA-Apo-CA and improved thermal and UV radiation stability. The effect of sustained-release of CA were tested in vitro of simulated gastrointestinal tract digestion. SA-Apo-CA exhibited greater release ability than unencapsulated CA and Apo-CA. This study provides a new strategy for designing a multilayer delivery system with improved stability and sustained-release property.

Chlorogenic acid protects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice by inhibiting Lnc Neat1/NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis. Sci Rep 2023; 13:17803. [PMID: 37853132 PMCID: PMC10584886 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-45017-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Increasing evidences demonstrate that chlorogenic acid (CGA), a polyphenol with multiple effects such as anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation, protects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) in vitro and in vivo. But its detailed cardiac protection mechanism is still unclear. The MIRI mice model was established by ligating the left anterior descending branch (LAD) of the left coronary artery in C57BL/6 mice. Sixty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups. CGA group and CGA + I/R group (each group n = 15) were gavaged with 30 mg/kg/day CGA for 4 weeks. Sham group and I/R group mice (each group n = 15) were administered equal volumes of saline. In vitro MIRI model was constructed by hypoxia and reoxygenation of HL-1 cardiomyocytes. The results showed that CGA pretreatment reduced myocardial infarction size and cTnT contents in serum, simultaneously reduced the levels of Lnc Neat1 expression and attenuated NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis in myocardial tissue. Consistent with in vivo results, the pretreatment of 0.2 μM and 2 μM CGA for 12 h in HL-1 cardiomyocytes depressed hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced Lnc Neat1 expression, NLRP3 inflammasome activation and pyroptosis. Lnc Neat1 shRNA transfection mediated by lentivirus in HL-1 cardiomyocytes significantly reduced activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis. Our findings suggest that CGA protects against MIRI by depressing Lnc Neat1 expression and NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyrotosis. Inhibiting the levels of Lnc Neat1 expression may be a therapeutic strategy for MIRI.

Abstract
A biological process called epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) allows epithelial cells to change into mesenchymal cells and acquire some cancer stem cell properties. EMT contributes significantly to the metastasis, invasion, and development of treatment resistance in cancer cells. Current research has demonstrated that phytochemicals are emerging as a potential source of safe and efficient anti-cancer medications. Phytochemicals could disrupt signaling pathways related to malignant cell metastasis and drug resistance by suppressing or reversing the EMT process. In this review, we briefly describe the pathophysiological properties and the molecular mechanisms of EMT in the progression of cancers, then summarize phytochemicals with diverse structures that could block the EMT process in different types of cancer. Hopefully, these will provide some guidance for future research on phytochemicals targeting EMT.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in-hospital preparations are approved for use only in the hospital where they are prepared. They are widely used in China because of their efficacy and affordable price. However, few researchers focused on their quality controls and treatment mechanisms, for which a key consideration is the elucidation of their chemical composition. Runyan mixture (RY) is a typical in-hospital TCM preparation comprising a formula of eight herbal drugs used for adjuvant therapy of upper respiratory tract infections. The chemical constituents of formulated RY have not yet been elucidated. In the present work, RY was analyzed by a ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography system equipped with high-resolution orbitrap mass spectrometry (MS). The acquired MS data were processed by MZmine and a feature-based molecular networking was constructed to identify the metabolites of RY. 165 compounds including 41 flavonoid O-glycosides, 11 flavonoid C-glycosides, 18 quinic acids, 54 coumaric acids, 11 iridoids, and 30 others were identified. This study demonstrates an efficient method to identify compounds in complex herbal drug mixtures using high-resolution MS and molecular networking tools which will support future research into quality controls and treatment mechanisms of in-hospital TCM preparations.
