[PMID: 38754655 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
Currently, evidence from observational studies suggests dietary fiber intake may be associated with decreased risk of food allergy. As a type of dietary fiber, resistant starch was also widely reported to possess anti-allergic properties. However, there is a relative paucity of studies assessing the influence of resistant starch types on their anti-allergic activity and its possible underlying mechanisms. In the current study, the anti-allergic effects of RS3-type (retrograded starch), RS4-type (chemically modified starch, cross-bonded), and RS5-type (starch-palmitic acid complex) of lotus seed resistant starch were evaluated in the OVA (100 mg/kg)-induced food allergic mice model. The results showed that oral administration of RS3 or RS4 lotus seed resistant starch (0.3 g/100 g b.w.) for 25 days significantly improved adverse symptoms of food allergy such as weight loss, increases in allergy symptom score and diarrhea rate; with significant reduction of serum specific antibody IgE, TNF-α, IL-4 levels and improved Th1/Th2 balance being observed. The mechanism may involve the regulation of lotus seed resistant starch on intestinal flora and the metabolites short-chain fatty acids and bile acids. Taken together, the findings may enhance understanding towards ameliorative effects of resistant starch on food allergy, and offer valuable insights for the exploration of novel anti-allergic bioactive compounds.

Baicalin regulates autophagy to interfere with small intestinal acute graft-versus-host disease. Sci Rep 2022; 12:6551. [PMID: 35449393 PMCID: PMC9023573 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-10564-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is the main complication of and cause of death after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Baicalin can protect the small intestinal epithelial cells of rats against TNF-α-induced injury and alleviate enteritis-related diarrhea. To verify whether baicalin can protect the small intestinal mucosal barrier by regulating abnormal autophagy and interfering with intestinal aGVHD, a mouse model of aGVHD was established. CB6F1 micewere intravenously injected with a suspension of mononuclear cells derived from BALB/c donor mouse bone marrow and splenic tissue after treatment with 60Co X-rays. After treatment with different doses of baicalin for 15 days, the survival time, serum TNF-α and IL-10 levels, and autophagy markers levels in the intestine were assessed. A cell model of intestinal barrier dysfunction was also used to verify the effect of baicalin. The results showed that baicalin significantly prolonged the survival time, significantly reduced the aGVHD pathology score and clinical score by decreasing the TNF-α level with increasing the IL-10 level compared with the control. Transmission electron microscopy examination showed that baicalin treatment increased the number of autophagic vacuoles and led to the recovery of mitochondrial structures in the intestinal mucosal epithelial cells of mice and in Caco-2 cells. Western blotting results showed that baicalin treatment enhanced autophagy in vivo by regulating the AMPK/mTOR autophagy pathway. Similar results were observed in vitro in Caco-2 cells. Furthermore, the effect of baicalin was reduced after combination treatment with the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine(3-MA). Baicalin can decrease the severity of small intestinal aGVHD by regulating autophagy by influencing imbalances in inflammatory cytokine levels and mucosal barrier damage, thus baicalin may have potential as a new treatment for aGVHD.

Abstract
Baicalin has distinct therapeutic effects in various skin diseases animal models such as atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the anti-atopic dermatitis (AD) effects of baicalin in 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB)-treated mice. Female BALB/c mice treated with DNCB to induce AD-like skin lesions and orally administrated with baicalin daily for 14 consecutive days. Baicalin significantly inhibited dorsal skin thickness and trans-epidermal water loss and epidermal thickness in dorsal skin. In addition, baicalin also significantly up-regulated the protein expressions of filaggrin, involucrin, and loricrin, but inhibited the inflammatory response and the activation of NF-κB and JAK/STAT pathways in the dorsal skin of the DNCB-treated mice. Furthermore, baicalin significantly restored the abundance of probiotics in the gut microbiota of the DNCB-treated mice. Pseudo germ-free (GF) DNCB-treated mice receiving fecal microbiota from baicalin donors reduced the dorsal skin thickness and skin EASI score, and inhibited the release of IgE, histamine, TNF-α and IL-4 in serum of mice. In summary, baicalin ameliorates AD-like skin lesions induced by DNCB in mice via regulation of the Th1/Th2 balance, improvement of skin barrier function and modulation of gut dysbiosis, and inhibition of inflammation through suppressing the activation of NF-κB and JAK/STAT pathways.

Baicalin suppresses type 2 immunity through breaking off the interplay between mast cell and airway epithelial cell. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 267:113492. [PMID: 33091489 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.113492] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2020] [Revised: 10/12/2020] [Accepted: 10/16/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The traditional Japanese herbal medicine Shin'iseihaito was reported to ameliorate the airway type 2 inflammatory response in clinical and experimental studies. Airway type 2 inflammatory diseases, including bronchial asthma and eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS), often coexist and interact with each other. However, it is still unclear how Shin'iseihaito exerts its pharmacological effects on cells involved in airway mucosa. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aims to examine the direct effect of baicalin, a representative bioactive compound of Shin'iseihaito, on type 2 immune responses in human airway epithelial cells and mast cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS We measured the plasma pharmacokinetics of flavonoids derived from Shin'iseihaito and investigated the effects of baicalin on type 2 immune responses in human airway epithelial cells and human mast cells. RESULTS Baicalin, wogonin, and wogonoside were detected in the plasma. The maximum plasma concentration of baicalin was highest at 1610 ng/ml (3.6 μM). In the normal human bronchial epithelial cells treated with baicalin, with or without stimulation by IFN-γ, the IL-33 expression was significantly downregulated. However, baicalin treatment did not affect the levels of thymic stromal lymphopoietin and IL-25. We noted that IL-33-dependent expression of tryptase mRNA in mast cells was significantly inhibited by baicalin. Also, the expression of IL-5 in mast cells enhanced by stimulation with TSLP plus IL-1β was significantly downregulated by baicalin treatment. Moreover, the enhancement of IL-13 expression in mast cells by IL-33 simulation was also significantly inhibited by baicalin. CONCLUSIONS Our results prove that by breaking off the vicious circle of mast cells and airway epithelial cells, baicalin may be an effective alternative therapeutic option for the treatment of type 2 inflammatory diseases, such as ECRS and comorbid asthma.

Abstract
The Malus pumila leaves are used as a kind of tea drink in China, and there are abundant flavonoids in the leaves of Malus pumila. In this study, BALB/c mice received senna extract solution via gavage, which induced acute diarrhea, and the interventive effect of Malus pumila leaf flavonoids (MPLF) was observed. The results showed that MPLF decreased the diarrhea index, and MPLF also decreased the capillary permeability in the abdominal cavity of mice. The result of serum cytokine detection indicated that MPLF decreased the levels of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 12 (IL-12), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). The results of quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) indicated that diarrhea decreased the mRNA and protein expression of aquaporin-3 (AQP3) in the jejunum and aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in the ileum, which were inhibited by MPLF. By high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), MPLF mainly contains 10 flavonoids, which are rutin, hyperoside, isoquercitrin, taxifolin, quercitrin, hesperidin, myricetin, baicalin, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone and quercetin, the synergistic effect of these components plays an antidiarrhea role in MPLF. Therefore, MPLF achieved good antidiarrheal effect, which was better than that of the commonly used montmorillonite powder at the same concentration. MPLF is a natural raw material for functional food with an antidiarrheal effect.

Abstract
Inflammation plays a key role in diseases such as diabetes, asthma, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Diet can influence different stages of inflammation and can have an important impact on several inflammatory diseases. Increasing scientific evidence has shown that polyphenolic compounds, such as flavonoids, which are found in fruits, vegetables, legumes, or cocoa, can have anti-inflammatory properties. Recent studies have demonstrated that flavonoids can inhibit regulatory enzymes or transcription factors important for controlling mediators involved in inflammation. Flavonoids are also known as potent antioxidants with the potential to attenuate tissue damage or fibrosis. Consequently, numerous studies in vitro and in animal models have found that flavonoids have the potential to inhibit the onset and development of inflammatory diseases. In the present review, we focused in flavonoids, the most abundant polyphenols in the diet, to give an overview of the most recent scientific knowledge about their impact on different inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
The gut microbiome has important effects on gastrointestinal diseases. Diarrhea attenuation functions of baicalin (BA) is not clear. Baicalin-aluminum complexes (BBA) were synthesized from BA, but the BBA's efficacy on the diarrhea of piglets and the gut microbiomes have not been explored and the mechanism remains unclear. This study has explored whether BBA could modulate the composition of the gut microbiomes of piglets during diarrhea. The results showed that the diarrhea rate reduced significantly after treatment with BBA. BBA altered the overall structure of the gut microbiomes. In addition, the Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis indicated that the functional differentially expressed genes, which were involved in the top 30 GO enrichments, were associated with hydrogenase (acceptor) activity, nicotinamide-nucleotide adenylyltransferase activity, and isocitrate lyase activity, belong to the molecular function. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed that flagellar assembly, bacterial chemotaxis, lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis, ATP-binding cassette transporters (ABC) transporters, biosynthesis of amino acids, and phosphotransferase system (PTS) were the most enriched during BBA treatment process. Taken together, our results first demonstrated that BBA treatment could modulate the gut microbiomes composition of piglets with diarrhea, which may provide new potential insights on the mechanisms of gut microbiomes associated underlying the antimicrobial efficacy of BBA.
