Abstract
Ovotransferrin (OVT) has been confirmed to have anti-inflammatory activity. However, its effect and mechanism on gastric inflammation are unclear. In this study, the effect and mechanism of the OVT on the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced inflammatory response in gastric epithelial cells (GES-1) were investigated. The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the levels of inflammation cytokines, followed by RNA sequencing to explore the potential pathways of its anti-inflammatory effect, and then it was validated by Western blotting and pathways inhibitors. Results showed that the OVT at concentrations of 50-400 μg/mL displayed nontoxicity against GES-1 cells. Additionally, 100 μg/mL of OVT obviously reduced the secretion of interleukin (IL)-8, IL-6, and TNF-α by 63.02% (630.09/1703.98), 35.53% (935.81/1451.43), and 36.19% (964.60/1511.63), respectively. The results of RNA sequencing exhibited that the OVT significantly influences the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain enhancer of activated B cell (NF-κB) pathways, which was verified by the levels of p-IKK, p-IκB, p-P65, p-ERK, p-JNK, and p-P38 protein. IL-8 contents released by GES-1 cells after incubation with inhibitors of NF-κB and MAPK pathways further confirmed that OVT hindered activation of these two pathways. Collectively, these results suggested that OVT was a natural protein with the potential to treat gastric inflammation.

Abstract
Colorectal (CRC) and gastric cancers (GC) are the most common digestive tract cancers with a high incidence rate worldwide. The current treatment including surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy has several limitations such as drug toxicity, cancer recurrence or drug resistance and thus it is a great challenge to discover an effective and safe therapy for CRC and GC. In the last decade, numerous phytochemicals and their synthetic analogs have attracted attention due to their anticancer effect and low organ toxicity. Chalcones, plant-derived polyphenols, received marked attention due to their biological activities as well as for relatively easy structural manipulation and synthesis of new chalcone derivatives. In this study, we discuss the mechanisms by which chalcones in both in vitro and in vivo conditions suppress cancer cell proliferation or cancer formation.

Abstract
Chalcones have a three-carbon α,β-unsaturated carbonyl system composed of two phenolic rings. Many chalcones have shown broad spectrum of biological activities with clinical potentials against various diseases. They are usually abundant in seeds, fruit skin, bark and flowers of most edible plants. Among them, chalcones bearing 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-3-butenyl (HMB) group have been reported several times in the past few decades due to their novel scaffolds and numerous interesting biological activities. In this paper, we reviewed the isolation of twelve natural chalcones and a natural chalcone-type compound bearing 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-3-butenyl group discovered so far, and reviewed their synthesis methods and biological activities reported in the literature. We anticipate that this review will inspire further research of natural chalcones.

Abstract
This paper reports the obtention of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) of xanthohumol (XH) in PCL containing up to 50 wt% of the bioactive compound in the amorphous form thanks to the advantageous specific interactions established in this system. The miscibility of the PCL/XH blends was investigated using DSC. Melting point depression analysis yielded a negative interaction parameter indicating the occurrence of favorable inter-association interactions. XRD analyses performed at room temperature agree with the crystallinity results obtained on the heating runs performed by DSC. FTIR spectroscopy reveals strong C[double bond, length as m-dash]OO-H specific interactions between the hydroxyl groups of XH and the carbonyl groups of PCL. The AFM analysis of the blends obtained by spin-coating shows the variation of crystalline morphology with composition. Finally, tensile tests reveal high toughness retention for the blends in which XH can be dispersed in the amorphous form (containing up to 50 wt% XH). In summary, PCL is a convenient matrix to disperse XH in the amorphous form, bringing the possibility of obtaining completely amorphous bioactive materials suitable for the development of non-stiff biomedical devices.

Biomolecules 2020; 10:E1215.

Abstract
Twenty natural remedies traditionally used against different inflammatory diseases were probed for their potential to suppress the expression of the inflammatory markers E-selectin and VCAM-1 in a model system of IL-1 stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). One third of the tested extracts showed in vitro inhibitory effects comparable to the positive control oxozeaenol, an inhibitor of TAK1. Among them, the extract derived from the roots and rhizomes of Peucedanum ostruthium (i.e., Radix Imperatoriae), also known as masterwort, showed a pronounced and dose-dependent inhibitory effect. Reporter gene analysis demonstrated that inhibition takes place on the transcriptional level and involves the transcription factor NF-κB. A more detailed analysis revealed that the P. ostruthium extract (PO) affected the phosphorylation, degradation, and resynthesis of IκBα, the activation of IKKs, and the nuclear translocation of the NF-κB subunit RelA. Strikingly, early effects on this pathway were less affected as compared to later ones, suggesting that PO may act on mechanism(s) that are downstream of nuclear translocation. As the majority of cognate NF-κB inhibitors affect upstream events such as IKK2, these findings could indicate the existence of targetable signaling events at later stages of NF-κB activation.
