Abstract
Lactation women, a highly concerned demographic in society, face health risks that deserve attention. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are widely utilized in food and daily products due to their excellent physicochemical properties, leading to the potential exposure of lactating women to ZnO NPs. Hence, assessing the potential risks associated with ZnO NP exposure during lactation is critical. While studies have confirmed that exposure to ZnO NPs during lactation can induce toxic responses in multiple organs through blood circulation, the effects of lactational exposure on mammary tissue remain unclear. This research investigated the impairment of mammary tissue induced by ZnO NPs and its potential mechanisms. Through administering multiple injections of ZnO NPs into the tail vein of lactating ICR mice, our study revealed that ZnO NPs can deposit in the mammary tissues, downregulating key components of mammary epithelial barrier such as ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-3. In vivo, we also found that ZnO NPs can simultaneously induce apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis, called PANoptosis. Additionally, using EpH4-Ev cells to simulate an in vitro mammary epithelial barrier model, we observed that ZnO NPs effectively disrupted the integrity of mammary epithelial barrier and induced PANoptosis. Furthermore, we confirmed that PANoptosis was responsible for the mammary epithelial barrier disruption induced by ZnO NPs. Moreover, we identified that ZBP1 was the primary mechanism of ZnO NPs inducing PANoptosis. These discoveries are designed to enhance our comprehension of the mechanisms underlying mammary epithelial barrier disruption caused by ZnO NPs, and we aim to highlight the potential hazards associated with daily usage and therapeutic exposure to ZnO NPs during lactation.

Abstract
Mastitis is an easy clinical disease in dairy cows, which seriously affects the milk yield and quality of dairy cows. Chlorogenic acid (CGA), a polyphenolic substance, is abundant in Eucommia ulmoides leaves and has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress effects. Here, we explore whether CGA attenuated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation and decreased milk fat in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs). 10 μg/mL LPS was used to induce mastitis in BMECs. QRT-PCR, Western blotting, oil red O staining, and triglyceride (TG) assay were used to examine the effects of CGA on BMECs, including inflammatory response, oxidative stress response, and milk fat synthesis. The results showed that CGA repaired LPS-induced inflammation in BMECs. The expression of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, IL-1β, and iNOS was decreased, and the expression levels of CHOP, XCT, NRF2, and HO-1 were increased, which reduced the oxidative stress level of cells and alleviated the reduction of milk fat synthesis. In addition, the regulation of P65 phosphorylation by CGA suggests that CGA may exert its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects through the NF-κB signaling pathway. Our study showed that CGA attenuated LPS-induced inflammation and oxidative stress, and restored the decrease in milk fat content in BMECs by regulating the NF-κB signaling pathway.

[PMID: 38616753 DOI: 10.2174/0113816128289341240327072531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is an acute life-threatening disease, and luteolin has the potential to become a therapeutic agent for ARDS. However, its mechanism of action has not yet been clarified. OBJECTIVE The present study explored the potential effects and mechanisms of luteolin in the treatment of ARDS through network pharmacology analysis and verified them through biological experiments. METHODS The potential targets of luteolin and ARDS were obtained from online databases. Functional enrichment and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analyses were performed to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms and to identify hub targets. Molecular docking was used to verify the relationship between luteolin and target proteins. Finally, the effects of luteolin on key signaling pathways and biological processes were verified by in vitro and in vivo experiments. RESULTS A total of 146 luteolin- and 496 ARDS-related targets were extracted from public databases. The network pharmacological analysis suggested that luteolin could inhibit ARDS through the following potential therapeutic targets: AKT1, RELA, and NFKBIA. Inflammatory and oxidative stress responses were the main biological processes involved, with the AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway being the key signaling pathway targeted by luteolin for the treatment of ARDS. Molecular docking analysis indicated that luteolin had a good binding affinity to AKT1, RELA, and NFKBIA. The in vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that luteolin could regulate the inflammatory response and oxidative stress in the treatment of ARDS by inhibiting the AKT/NF- κB signaling pathway. CONCLUSION Luteolin could reduce the production of reactive oxygen species and inflammatory factors by inhibiting the AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway, thus reducing apoptosis and attenuating ARDS.

Abstract
Objective Acne vulgaris (AV) is a common problem with a relatively high incidence rate among Asian people. The potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of banana peels have been demonstrated in previous studies but have not been studied in cases of AV. Therefore, this study was aimed at investigating the protective effects of banana (Musa balbisiana) peel extract (MBPE) against AV. Methods Thirty rats were divided into five groups (n = 6 rats per group): an AV group, AV group treated with 0.15% MBPE, AV group administered 0.30% MBPE, AV group administered 0.60% MBPE, and AV group administered clindamycin (the standard drug treatment). We assessed nodule size, bacterial count, histopathology, and cytokine levels (IL-1α, IFN-γ, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and IL-8). Enzyme linked immunoassays were used to measure the cytokine levels. In addition, we performed molecular docking studies to determine the interactions between phytochemicals (trigonelline, vanillin, ferulic acid, isovanillic acid, rutin, and salsolinol) via the Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways. Results All MBPE treatment groups, compared with the AV group, showed suppression of both bacterial growth and proinflammatory cytokine production, as well as resolved tissue inflammation. The nodule size was significantly suppressed in the groups receiving the two highest doses of MBPE, compared with the AV group. However, the pharmacological action of MBPE remained inferior to that of clindamycin. Docking studies demonstrated that rutin was the phytocompound with the most negative interaction energy with TLR2 or NF-κB. Conclusions Our results indicated that MBPE has anti-inflammatory effects against AV, by suppressing nodule formation, inhibiting bacterial growth, and decreasing proinflammatory cytokine production.

[PMID: 37964842 PMCID: PMC10641157 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e21219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Background In the Qing dynasty, Yanghe decoction was as a therapeutic soup for effectively treating chronic inflammatory disorders. It was used as a therapeutic soup for effectively treating chronic inflammatory disorders. In the clinical use of Yanghe decoction, the adjustment of the medication for a variety of inflammatory diseases have therapeutic effect, including mastitis. Therefore, Jiawei Yanghe decoction (JWYHD) may be used to treat inflammatory breast diseases. Methods First, LM- and JWYHD-related components were retrieved from the database and analysis platform. Next, protein-protein interaction networks were constructed to screen the key targets, and gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of gene and genome enrichment analyses were performed to predict the potential biological functions and mechanisms of JWYHD. Simultaneously, the JWYHD samples were collected and analyzed by UPLC-HRMS. Finally, in vivo and in vitro experiments were conducted to construct animal and cellular inflammation models of mastitis with LPS. Pathological changes in the mammary tissues were detected. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and Western blotting was performed to determine the mRNA and protein levels of inflammatory cytokines and toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation primary response 88/nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway in the breast tissues to elucidate the potential underlying mechanisms of anti-mastitis effects of JWYHD from different aspects. Results In total, 103 compounds were detected in JWYHD by UPLC-HRMS. 691 active ingredients of JWYHD were screened by network pharmacology, and 47 LM-related targets were identified. The PPI network analysis of the targets revealed the 5 core targets. The KEGG enrichment results established the NF-κB signaling pathways as the core. After JWYHD intervention, low inflammatory enrichment and mild inflammatory damage in breast tissues were observed. Furthermore, JWYHD treatment affected mammary gland inflammatory cytokines and the TLR4/Myd88/NF-κB signaling pathway by considerably reducing the respective protein levels and gene expression; thus, JWYHD alleviated LM symptoms. Conclusions We hypothesized and demonstrated the anti-inflammatory effects of JWYHD by cytokine regulation via the TLR4/Myd88/NF-κB signaling pathway. In conclusion, JWYHD showed its potential in LM treatment and in treating other acute and chronic inflammatory diseases.

Development and efficacy assessment of hand sanitizers and polylactic acid films incorporating caffeic acid and vanillin for enhanced antiviral properties against HCoV-229E. Virol J 2023; 20:194. [PMID: 37641064 PMCID: PMC10463313 DOI: 10.1186/s12985-023-02159-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although three years after the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, the virus is still having a significant impact on human health and the global economy. Infection through respiratory droplets is the main transmission route, but the transmission of the virus by surface contact cannot be ignored. Hand sanitizers and antiviral films can be applied to control SARS-CoV-2, but sanitizers and films show drawbacks such as resistance of the virus against ethanol and environmental problems including the overuse of plastics. Therefore, this study suggested applying natural substrates to hand sanitizers and antiviral films made of biodegradable plastic (PLA). This approach is expected to provide advantages for the easy control of SARS-CoV-2 through the application of natural substances. METHODS Antiviral disinfectants and films were manufactured by adding caffeic acid and vanillin to ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, benzalkonium chloride, and PLA. Antiviral efficacies were evaluated with slightly modified international standard testing methods EN 14,476 and ISO 21,702. RESULTS In suspension, all the hand sanitizers evaluated in this study showed a reduction of more than 4 log within 2 min against HCoV-229E. After natural substances were added to the hand sanitizers, the time needed to reach the detection limit of the viral titer was shortened both in suspension and porcine skin. However, no difference in the time needed to reach the detection limit of the viral titer was observed in benzalkonium chloride. In the case of antiviral films, those made using both PLA and natural substances showed a 1 log reduction of HCoV-229E compared to the neat PLA film for all treatment groups. Furthermore, the influence of the organic load was evaluated according to the number of contacts of the antiviral products with porcine skin. Ten rubs on the skin resulted in slightly higher antiviral activity than 50 rubs. CONCLUSION This study revealed that caffeic acid and vanillin can be effectively used to control HCoV-229E for hand sanitizers and antiviral films. In addition, it is recommended to remove organic matter from the skin for maintaining the antiviral activity of hand sanitizer and antiviral film as the antiviral activity decreased as the organic load increased in this study.

Abstract
Quorum sensing inhibitors (QSIs) are an attractive alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in farmed animal nutrition. The goal of the study was the diet supplementation of Arbor Acres chickens with quercetin (QC), vanillin (VN), and umbelliferon (UF), which are plant-derived QSIs preliminarily showing cumulative bioactivity. Chick cecal microbiomes were analyzed by 16s rRNA sequencing, inflammation status was assessed by blood sample analyses, and zootechnical data were summarized in the European Production Efficiency Factor (EPEF). When compared to the basal diet control group, a significant increase in the Bacillota:Bacteroidota ratio in the cecal microbiome was found in all experimental subgroups, with the highest expression > 10 at VN + UV supplementation. Bacterial community structure in all experimental subgroups was enriched with Lactobacillaceae genera and also changed in the abundance of some clostridial genera. Indices of richness, alpha diversity, and evenness of the chick microbiomes tended to increase after dietary supplementation. The peripheral blood leukocyte content decreased by 27.9-45.1% in all experimental subgroups, likely due to inflammatory response reduction following beneficial changes in the cecal microbiome. The EPEF calculation showed increased values in VN, QC + UF, and, especially, VN + UF subgroups because of effective feed conversion, low mortality, and broiler weight daily gain.

Syndecan-3 Coregulates Milk Fat Metabolism and Inflammatory Reactions in Bovine Mammary Epithelial Cells through AMPK/SIRT1 Signaling Pathway. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24076657. [PMID: 37047630 PMCID: PMC10095454 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24076657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Transcriptome sequencing showed that syndecan-3 (SDC3) was differentially expressed in high-fat and low-fat mammary epithelial cells of Chinese Holstein cows. Previous studies found that SDC3 plays an important role in inflammatory diseases and virus infection. However, those studies did not confirm whether or not the functional gene SDC3, which plays an important role in regulating milk fat metabolism, has an effect on susceptibility to breast tissue diseases. Therefore, we studied the effects of SDC3 on milk lipid metabolism and inflammation in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) and further explored the common regulatory pathway of SDC3 in both. The overexpression of SDC3 increased the contents of triglycerides and cholesterol, reduced the content of non-esterified fatty acids, inhibited the expression of inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α and COX-2), and reduced the production of ROS in BMECs. However, silenced SDC3 had the opposite effect. Further exploring the mechanisms of SDC3, we found that SDC3 upregulated the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) through the AMPK/SIRT1 signal pathway to promote milk fat synthesis. It also regulated the activation of the NF-κB pathway through the AMPK/SIRT1 signal pathway, reducing the expression of inflammatory factors and ROS production, thus inhibiting the inflammatory response of BMECs. Nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 (NF-κB p50) was an important target of SDC3 in this process. To sum up, our results showed that SDC3 coregulated milk fat metabolism and inflammation through the AMPK/SIRT1 signaling pathway. This study laid a foundation for the comprehensive evaluation of breeding value based on multi-effect functional genes in dairy cow molecular breeding.

Vanilla is the most commonly used natural flavoring agent in industries like food, flavoring, medicine, and fragrance. Vanillin can be obtained naturally, chemically, or through a biotechnological process. However, the yield from vanilla pods is low and does not meet market demand, and the use of vanillin produced by chemical synthesis is restricted in the food and pharmaceutical industries. As a result, the biotechnological process is the most efficient and cost-effective method for producing vanillin with consumer-demanding properties while also supporting industrial applications. Toxin-free biovanillin production, based on renewable sources such as industrial wastes or by-products, is a promising approach. In addition, only natural-labeled vanillin is approved for use in the food industry. Accordingly, this review focuses on biovanillin production from lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which is generally recognized as safe (GRAS), and the cost-cutting efforts that are utilized to improve the efficiency of biotransformation of inexpensive and readily available sources. LABs can utilize agro-wastes rich in ferulic acid to produce ferulic acid, which is then employed in vanillin production via fermentation, and various efforts have been applied to enhance the vanillin titer. However, different designs, such as response surface methods, using immobilized cells or pure enzymes for the spontaneous release of vanillin, are strongly advised.

Abstract
γ-D-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelic acid (iE-DAP), a bacterial cell wall component, can trigger an inflammatory response. A mammary inflammatory response causes tight junction (TJ) dysfunction. This study aimed to explore the effects and involved mechanisms of iE-DAP-induced inflammatory response on the TJ integrity in bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs). The results showed that iE-DAP-induced inflammatory response and TJ disruption was associated with increased expression levels of inflammatory cytokines and decreased gene expression of ZO-1 and Occludin, as well as a reduction in transepithelial electrical resistance and elevation in paracellular dextran passage. While MLCK inhibitor ML-7 reversed the TJ disruption induced by iE-DAP. NF-κB inhibitor BAY 11-7085 hindered the activation of NF-κB and MLCK signaling pathways, the inflammatory response and TJ disruption induced by iE-DAP. NOD1-specific shRNA also inhibited the activation of the NOD1/NF-κB signaling pathway and reversed the inflammatory response and TJ injury in iE-DAP-treated BMECs. Above results suggest that iE-DAP activated the NF-κB and MLCK signaling pathway in NOD1-dependent manner, which promoted the transcription of inflammatory cytokines and altered the expression and distribution of tight junction proteins, finally caused inflammatory response and TJ disruption. This study might provide theoretical basis and scientific support for the prevention and treatment of mastitis.

Abstract
The epithelium of the mammary gland (MG) fulfills three major functions: nutrition of progeny, transfer of immunity from mother to newborn, and its own defense against infection. The defense function of the epithelium requires the cooperation of mammary epithelial cells (MECs) with intraepithelial leucocytes, macrophages, DCs, and resident lymphocytes. The MG is characterized by the secretion of a large amount of a nutrient liquid in which certain bacteria can proliferate and reach a considerable bacterial load, which has conditioned how the udder reacts against bacterial invasions. This review presents how the mammary epithelium perceives bacteria, and how it responds to the main bacterial genera associated with mastitis. MECs are able to detect the presence of actively multiplying bacteria in the lumen of the gland: they express pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that recognize microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) released by the growing bacteria. Interactions with intraepithelial leucocytes fine-tune MECs responses. Following the onset of inflammation, new interactions are established with lymphocytes and neutrophils recruited from the blood. The mammary epithelium also identifies and responds to antigens, which supposes an antigen-presenting capacity. Its responses can be manipulated with drugs, plant extracts, probiotics, and immune modifiers, in order to increase its defense capacities or reduce the damage related to inflammation. Numerous studies have established that the mammary epithelium is a genuine effector of both innate and adaptive immunity. However, knowledge gaps remain and newly available tools offer the prospect of exciting research to unravel and exploit the multiple capacities of this particular epithelium.

Abstract
The colonization and virulence production of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), a known pathogen that induces mastitis, depend on its quorum-sensing (QS) system and biofilm formation. It has been reported that Bacillus can inhibit the QS system of S. aureus, thereby reducing S. aureus colonization in the intestine. However, whether Bacillus affects S. aureus biofilm formation and consequent colonization during mastitis is still unknown. In this study, the differences in the colonization of S. aureus and Bacillus were first analyzed by isolating and culturing bacteria from milk samples. It was found that the colonization of Bacillus and S. aureus in cow mammary glands was negatively correlated. Secondly, we found that although Bacillus did not affect S. aureus growth, it inhibited the biofilm formation of S. aureus by interfering its QS signaling. The most significant anti-biofilm effect was found in Bacillus subtilis H28 (B. subtilis H28). Finally, we found that B. subtilis H28 treatment alleviated S. aureus-induced mastitis in a mice model. Our results rerealed that bovine milk derived commensal Bacillus inhibited S. aureus colonization and alleviated S. aureus-induced mastitis by influencing biofilm formation, suggesting a potential targeted strategy to limit the colonization of S. aureus in vivo.

Abstract
The lactation capacity of dairy cows is critical to the productivity of the animals. Mastitis is a disease that directly affects the lactation capacity of cows. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the most important pathogens that causes mastitis in dairy cows. The anti-inflammatory effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza polysaccharides (SMPs) has been demonstrated in mice and chickens. However, the effectiveness of SMPs in preventing and treating mastitis is unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the protective effect and mechanism of SMPs on mastitis caused by S. aureus. S. aureus was used to induce mastitis in rats, and three doses of SMPs (87.5, 175, 350 mg/kg, BW/d) were administered as treatments. The bacterial load, histopathology, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) and N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAGase) activities of mammary glands were observed and measured. Cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), were examined by qRT-PCR and ELISA. Key proteins in the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways were analyzed by Western blotting. The results showed that SMP supplementation could significantly reduce the colonization of S. aureus and the recruitment of inflammatory cells in mammary glands. S. aureus-induced gene transcription and protein expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were significantly suppressed in mammary glands. In addition, the increase in NF-κB and MAPK protein phosphorylation was inhibited by SMPs. These results revealed that supplementation with SMPs protected the mammary gland of rats against damage caused by S. aureus and alleviated the inflammatory response. This study provides a certain experimental basis for the treatment of S. aureus-induced mastitis with SMPs in the future.

Abstract
Nisin Z is a possible alternative for treating bovine mastitis by inhibiting mastitis-causing pathogens and having anti-inflammatory activity. However, the anti-inflammatory mechanism of nisin Z on mastitis is unknown. Our study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of nisin Z on mastitis. Our results showed that nisin Z inhibited the activation of the ERK1/2 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, decreased the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (i.e., tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-1β, and IL-6), and increased the anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced MCF10A cells. After intraperitoneal injection, nisin Z significantly decreased inflammatory cell infiltration in the mammary gland, as well as decreased myeloperoxidase and pro-inflammatory cytokines in serum and mammary gland. Western blot analysis revealed that nisin Z also dramatically suppressed the activation of the ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK signaling pathways in LPS-induced mastitis mice. We also found that nisin Z treatment could enhance the blood-milk barrier. In summary, our study demonstrated that nisin Z exerted an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK signaling pathway and promoting the blood-milk barrier on LPS-induced mastitis.

Abstract
Formononetin (FOR), a natural flavonoid derived from Radix Astragali, has been reported to have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects. However, its protective mechanism against mastitis is still unknown. Nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway plays an important role in inflammation, especially mastitis. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is involved in inflammatory regulation and defense against diseases. We investigated the protective effect of FOR on LPS-induced mastitis in mice and the effect of Ahr and NF-κB signaling pathways on the development of mastitis. In this study, mastitis model was induced by LPS injection through the nipple duct. Protective effect of FOR on LPS-induced mastitis was assessed by FOR pretreatment. The protective mechanism of FOR against mastitis was further investigated using LPS stimulation on mouse mammary epithelial cells EpH4-Ev. The results showed that LPS-induced mammary histological injury was inhibited by FOR. FOR significantly inhibited LPS-induced MPO activity. FOR administration enhanced the integrity of blood-milk barrier. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that FOR inhibited LPS-induced NF-κB signaling pathway activation and the production of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1ß. Moreover, FOR increased the expression of tight junction protein and enhanced blood-milk barrier integrity. LPS activated AhR and Src expression. But FOR induced significant increase in AhR inhibited Src phosphorylation to exert anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, AhR antagonist CH223191 reversed the inhibition of FOR on Src expression. And the inhibition of FOR on NF-κB activation and inflammatory cytokine production were reversed by AhR antagonist CH223191. In conclusion, FOR had protective effects against LPS-induced mastitis via suppressing inflammation and enhancing blood-milk barrier integrity via AhR-induced Src inactivation.

Abstract
Vanillin has been reported to reduce hippocampal neuronal death in rat models of global cerebral ischemia. However, the immunoregulatory mechanism of vanillin in ischemic stroke is still unclear. To investigate the role of vanillin in a mouse model of ischemic stroke, we administered vanillin to mice after transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) by tail vein injection. Vanillin reduced infarct volume and improved motor function in mice after ischemia and reperfusion. IL-1β and TNF-α were decreased in ischemic brain tissue of tMCAO mice after vanillin treatment compared with saline treatment. Similar effects were observed using the in vitro LPS-stimulated microglia cell model. Moreover, the reduced expression of proinflammatory cytokines in the vanillin group was related to TLR4/NF-κB signaling. Taken together, the findings suggest that vanillin decreased microglial activation by inhibiting the TLR4 /NF-κB signaling pathway, which reduced expression of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α, and finally reduced the infarct volume and improved motor function in tMCAO mice.

Abstract
Mastitis is a common inflammatory disease caused by bacterial infection to the mammary gland that impacts human and animal health and causes economic losses. Houttuynia essential oil (HEO), extracted from Houttuynia cordata Thunb, exhibits excellent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of HEO and a self-microemulsion preparation of HEO (SME-HEO) on inflammation and the blood–milk barrier (BMB) in lipopolysaccharide-induced murine mastitis. HEO and SME-HEO significantly downregulated pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1β, upregulated anti-inflammatory factor IL-10, inhibited MPO expression, and alleviated histopathological injury in murine mammary gland tissues. Additionally, HEO and SME-HEO protected the integrity of the BMB by upregulating the expression of junction proteins ZO-1, claudin-1, claudin-3, and occludin. The anti-inflammatory effect of HEO against murine mastitis was mediated by blocking the MAPK signaling pathway and expression of iNOS. By inhibiting the release of inflammatory factors and protecting the integrity of the BMB, HEO may provide a novel treatment for mastitis.

Abstract
The destruction of the blood-milk barrier (BMB) caused by the mammary inflammatory response (MIR) is one of the main reasons that hinders breastfeeding. To relieve the inflammatory response and maintain BMB, we found that phytic acid (PA) has good anti-inflammatory activity. Therefore, we focused on researching the influence and mechanism of PA on BMB and MIR. We constructed a mammary inflammatory response model using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vivo, and we used mammary epithelial cells (mMECs) to construct a cell inflammatory response model in vitro. The results showed that PA alleviated mammary tissue damage and reduced the production of inflammatory mediators (such as IL-1β and iNOS) in mammary tissue and mMECs. PA also maintained the integrity of the BMB in mice by increasing the expression of tight junction proteins. 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing showed that PA significantly ameliorated the intestinal flora of model mice. Mechanism studies showed that PA exerted an anti-MIR effect by inhibiting the AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway. In summary, our study found that PA maintains the integrity of BMB by regulating the inflammatory response and intestinal flora structure.

Abstract
Mammary gland fibrosis is a chronic and irreversible disease. Tartary buckwheat flavonoids (TBF) are a natural product of flavonoid extracts from buckwheat and have a wide range of biological activities. The purpose of this experiment was to explore whether HFD during pregnancy and lactation induces fibrosis of the mammary tissue and whether TBF alleviates the damage caused by HFD, along with its underlying mechanism. The HFD significantly increased the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and MPO; significantly damaged the integrity of the blood-milk barrier; significantly increased the levels of collagen 1, vimentin and α-SMA, and reduced the level of E-cadherin. However, these effects were alleviated by TBF. Mechanistic studies showed that TBF inhibited the activation of AKT/NF-κB signaling and predicted the AKT amino acid residues that formed hydrogen bonds with TBF; in addition, these studies not only revealed that TBF promoted the expression of the tight junction proteins (TJs) claudin-3, occludin and ZO-1 and inhibited the activation of TGF-β/Smad signaling but also predicted the Smad MH2 amino acid residues that formed hydrogen bonds with TBF. Conclusion: HFD consumption during pregnancy and lactation induced the tendency of mammary fibrosis. TBF alleviated the tendency of mammary fibrosis by inhibiting the activation of AKT/NF-κB, repairing the blood-milk barrier and inhibiting the activation of TGF-β/Smad signaling.

Abstract
Vanillin, the main constituents of vanillin beans, has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects. However, the effects of vanillin on the cadmium-induced lung injury are still unclear. Therefore, we assay whether vanillin has potential preventive activity on cadmium-induced lung injury in mice. Mice were given vanillin (5, 10, 20 mg/kg) and treated with cadmium for 7 days. The detection data of vanillin on lung tissue changes were analyzed after the cadmium treatment. The results displayed that vanillin obviously decreased the lung histological alterations and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. Vanillin also suppressed the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in BALF. Furthermore, vanillin prevented cadmium-induced NF-κB activation and upregulation the expression of tight junction protein ZO-1 and occludin. In addition, vanillin significantly increased the expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), and inhibition of AhR by its agonist could reverse the protective effects of vanillin on cadmium-induced lung injury. To sum up, vanillin could be a potential drug for the treatment of cadmium-induced lung injury.

Abstract
Mastitis causes great psychological and physical pain among women. Our previous studies found that niacin has anti-inflammatory effect, and the realization of this function depends on GPR109A. However, there are no previous reports about the anti-inflammatory function of GPR109A in mastitis. In our study, we observed the effect of niacin on the WT and GPR109A-/- mice mastitis model. The results showed that administration of niacin to WT mice reduced the damage, proinflammatory mediators and protected the integrity of the blood milk barrier in mammary gland. While in GPR109A-/- mice, there was no effect on the above indexes. In mammary epithelial cells, GPR109A was able to promote autophagy and Nrf2 nuclear import through AMPK. In LPS-induced mammary epithelial cells, niacin inhibited the LPS-induced inflammatory response and downregulation of tight junction proteins, and these effects were eliminated by knocking down GPR109A, blocking autophagy or inhibiting Nrf2 nuclear import. These results indicate that in mastitis, GPR109A promotes autophagy and Nrf2 nuclear import through AMPK, thereby inhibiting inflammatory damage to the mammary gland and repairing the blood milk barrier. Our results suggested that GPR109A may be a potential target for the treatment of mastitis.

Abstract
Inflammation plays an important role in the development of acute lung injury (ALI). Severe pulmonary inflammation can cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or even death. Expression of proinflammatory interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the process of pulmonary inflammation will further exacerbate the severity of ALI. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of Palrnatine (Pa) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse ALI and its underlying mechanism. Pa, a natural product, has a wide range of pharmacological activities with the potential to protect against lung injury. Western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assays were performed to detect the expression and translation of inflammatory genes and proteins in vitro and in vivo. Immunoprecipitation was used to detect the degree of P65 translocation into the nucleus. We also used molecular modeling to further clarify the mechanism of action. The results showed that Pa pretreatment could significantly inhibit the expression and secretion of the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β, and significantly reduce the protein level of the proinflammatory protease iNOS, in both in vivo and in vitro models induced by LPS. Further mechanism studies showed that Pa could significantly inhibit the activation of the protein kinase B (Akt)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway in the LPS-induced ALI mode and in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. Through molecular dynamics simulation, we observed that Pa was bound to the catalytic pocket of Akt and effectively inhibited the biological activity of Akt. These results indicated that Pa significantly relieves LPS-induced ALI by activating the Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Mastitis is a disease that seriously threatens the health of the mammary gland after delivery. Pedunculoside (PE) is the main bioactive component of Aquifoliaceae. The purpose of this experiment is to explore the effects of PE on mastitis and its underlying mechanisms. Our research results showed that PE could significantly inhibit the increase in the levels of inflammatory mediators such as TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, MPO and iNOS during mastitis. Mechanism studies have found that PE could significantly inhibit the phosphorylation of AKT protein and binds to the ASP-184 site. Further research found that PE also inhibited the activation of AKT's downstream pro-inflammatory signals NF-κB and MAPK. In addition, PE effectively promote the expression of tight junction proteins occludin and claudin-3 during inflammation, maintaining the integrity of the blood-milk barrier. In summary, our research shows that PE inhibits the phosphorylation of AKT/NF-κB and MAPK signals; It also relieves mastitis by repairing the blood-milk barrier.

Abstract
Mastitis is one of the most serious diseases in humans and animals, especially in the modern dairy industry. Seeking safe and effective mastitis prevention strategies is urgent since food safety and drug residues in milk remain an enormous concern, despite the contribution of antibiotics to control mastitis. Kynurenic acid (KYNA), derived from the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism, has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects in many diseases. Recently, it was reported that impaired KYNA levels were associated with mastitis. However, the physiological role of KYNA in mastitis has not yet been elucidated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the protective role of KYNA in pathogen-induced mastitis in mice, as well as the underlying mechanism of this effect. We first evaluated the effects of KYNA on LPS-induced mastitis in mice. Additionally, the underlying anti-inflammatory mechanism of KYNA was investigated in mammary epithelial cells (MMECs). Furthermore, we examined the effects of KYNA on S. aureus and E. coli induced mastitis in mice. Our results demonstrated that KYNA alleviated LPS-induced mastitis by reducing inflammatory responses and enhancing blood-milk barrier integrity. The fundamental mechanisms involved the inhibition of NF-κB and activation of Nrf2/Ho-1, which is probably mediated by G protein-coupled receptor 35 but not aryl hydrocarbon receptor. Notably, KYNA also protected against S. aureus and E. coli induced mastitis in mice. In conclusion, our results highlight the role of KYNA in mastitis and serve as a basis for using endogenous metabolite as a novel preventative or therapeutic strategy for disease intervention.

Abstract
Escherichia coli is a common mastitis-causing pathogen that can disrupt the blood-milk barrier of mammals. Although Lactobacillus casei Zhang (LCZ) can alleviate mice mastitis, whether it has a prophylactic effect on E. coli-induced mastitis through intramammary infusion, as well as its underlying mechanism, remains unclear. In this study, E. coli-induced injury models of bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) and mice in lactation were used to fill this research gap. In vitro tests of BMECs revealed that LCZ significantly inhibited the E. coli adhesion (p < 0.01); reduced the cell desmosome damage; increased the expression of the tight junction proteins claudin-1, claudin-4, occludin, and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1; p < 0.01); and decreased the expression of the inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 (p < 0.01), thereby increasing trans-epithelial electric resistance (p < 0.01) and attenuating the lactate dehydrogenase release induced by E. coli (p < 0.01). In vivo tests indicated that LCZ significantly reduced the injury and histological score of mice mammary tissues in E. coli-induced mastitis (p < 0.01) by significantly promoting the expression of the tight junction proteins claudin-3, occludin, and ZO-1 (p < 0.01), which ameliorated blood-milk barrier disruption, and decreasing the expression of the inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) in mice mammary tissue (p < 0.01). Our study suggested that LCZ counteracted the disrupted blood-milk barrier and moderated the inflammatory response in E. coli-induced injury models, indicating that LCZ can ameliorate the injury of mammary tissue in mastitis.

Abstract
The inflammatory reaction of mammary gland tissue in dairy cattle leads to the occurrence of mastitis disease and causes huge economic loss. Myricetin (Myr), a flavonoid natural product, is extracted from the root, stem, and leaves of Myrica rubra. It has a wide range of biological activities, such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor. The purpose of this experiment is to further explore the effect of Myr on mastitis and further explore its potential mechanism in LPS-induced mice mastitis model and LPS-induced mice mammary epithelial cells (mMECs). The results showed that Myr could significantly inhibit the expression of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in the mammary gland of mice. Furthermore, the results of mechanism studies show that Myr can significantly inhibit P38 and ERK1/2 protein phosphorylation levels in mice mammary tissue, and this result has been further verified at the cellular level. These results confirm that Myr can significantly inhibit mammary inflammation, and its potential mechanism is to play a protective role by inhibiting the phosphorylation level of P38 and ERK1/2 protein.

Simple Summary This study aims to investigate how epidermal growth factor (EGF) attenuates the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, microelement absorption of early-weaned pigs. A total of 48 early weaned piglets were randomly distributed to four groups consisting of a 2 × 2 factorial design. The main factors were the level of LPS (HLPS = high LPS: 100 μg/kg body weight; ZLPS = low LPS: 0 μg/kg body weight) and EGF (HEGF = high EGF: 2 mg/kg diet; ZEGF = low EGF: 0 mg/kg diet). Each group had four replicates and each replicate consisted of three piglets. The results showed that HLPS level decreased the growth performance and the apparent digestibility of crude fat, while HEGF level increased the average daily feed intake. The concentration of most microelements in the gastrointestinal tract chyme and feces were increased by HLPS level and decreased by HEGF level. The expression levels of most microelement transport-relative genes in the mucosa of gastrointestinal tissues were decreased by HLPS level and increased by HEGF level. In conclusion, dietary EGF could attenuate the negative effect of LPS exposure on the apparent digestibility of crude fat and microelement absorption through changing the expression levels of microelement transport-relative genes. EGF can be used as an additive to increase the essential trace elements absorption in the early weaning piglets. Abstract Epidermal growth factor (EGF) plays an important role in nutrients absorption. However, whether it can be an effective additive to improve the growth performance and nutrients absorption in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenged early weaning piglets is still unknown. A 14-days trial was conducted to investigate how EGF attenuates the effect of LPS on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, microelement absorption of early-weaned pigs, and study the underlying mechanism. A total of 48 early weaned piglets, aged 25 days, were randomly distributed to four groups (control, EGF, LPS and EGF + LPS groups) consisting of a 2 × 2 factorial design. The main factors were the level of LPS (HLPS = high LPS: 100 μg/kg body weight; ZLPS = low LPS: 0 μg/kg body weight) and EGF (HEGF = high EGF: 2 mg/kg diet; ZEGF = low EGF: 0 mg/kg diet). Each group had four replicates and each replicate consisted of three piglets. The results showed that piglets injected with HLPS level significantly decreased the average daily gain (ADG), and significantly increased the feed conversion ratio (FCR) compared with the piglets injected with ZLPS level, while piglets fed HEGF level significantly increased the average daily feed intake (ADFI) compared with the piglets fed ZEGF level (p < 0.05). Piglets injected with HLPS level significantly decreased the apparent digestibility of crude fat compared with the piglets injected with ZLPS level (p < 0.05). Piglets injected with HLPS level significantly increased the concentration of most microelements in the gastrointestinal tract chyme and feces, and significantly decreased the expression levels of most microelement transport-relative genes in the mucosa of gastrointestinal tissues compared with the piglets injected with ZLPS level (p < 0.05). Piglets fed HEGF level significantly decreased the concentration of microelement in the gastrointestinal tract chyme and feces, and significantly increased the expression levels of the microelement transport-relative genes in the mucosa of gastrointestinal tissues compared with the piglets fed ZEGF level (p < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary EGF could attenuate the negative effect of LPS exposure on the apparent digestibility of crude fat and microelement absorption of early-weaning piglets. EGF and LPS influenced the absorption of essential trace element through changing the expression levels of microelement transport-relative genes in the mucosa of gastrointestinal tissues. In the early weaning piglets, EGF can be used as an additive to increase the essential trace elements absorption.

J Dairy Sci 2021; 104:6376-6388.

Abstract
The intact blood-milk barrier (BMB) prevents an uncontrolled exchange of soluble and cellular components between blood and milk in the mammary gland. It enables the sustainability of the optimal milk composition for the nourishment of the offspring. Endothelial cells, connective tissue, the basal membrane, and mainly the epithelial cells provide the semipermeability of this barrier, allowing only a selective transfer of components necessary for milk production. The epithelial cells are closely connected to each other by different formations, in which the tight junctions are the most critical for separating the milk-containing compartments from the surrounding extracellular fluid and vasculature. During mastitis, the integrity of the BMB is reduced. This facilitates the transfer of immune cells and immune factors such as antibodies from blood into milk. Simultaneously, the transfer of soluble blood constituents without an obvious immune function into milk is promoted. Furthermore, a reduced BMB integrity causes a loss of milk constituents into the blood circulation. Different mechanisms are responsible for the barrier impairment including tight junction opening, but also cell degradation. To promote the cure of mastitis, the targeted manipulation of the BMB permeability may be a tool to optimize the immune function of the mammary gland. An intensified opening of the BMB supports the antibody transfer from blood into milk, which is supposed to increase the contribution of the specific immune system in the immune defense. On the contrary, a fast closure of the BMB during the recovery from mastitis can accelerate the normalization of milk composition and milk yield. Various agents have been experimentally shown to either open (e.g., pathogens and pathogen-associated molecular patterns, several nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, oxytocin, calcium chelators) or close (e.g., glucocorticoids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, natural anti-inflammatory drugs) the BMB.

Abstract
Long-term intake of a high-fat diet seriously affects the health of pregnant women and leads to increased levels of inflammation in the mammary gland. Therefore, to further explore the effect of a high-fat diet on mammary gland development and the tight junction (TJ) during pregnancy, we placed mice into two groups: a high-fat diet group and a control group. We detected the expression of proteins related to fat synthesis in the mammary gland by western blotting. The results showed that a high-fat diet could lead to an increase in fat synthesis in the mammary gland. Then, the inflammatory levels and acinar cell morphology in the mammary gland were detected by ELISA and H&E staining. We also measured the levels of MAPK and NF-κB signal pathway-related proteins by western blotting. The results showed that a high-fat diet activated the MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways and promoted the expression of inflammatory factors. Finally, the development of the mammary gland and the integrity of the TJ were determined by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and western blotting. The results showed that a high-fat diet inhibited the development of the mammary gland and the expression of tight junction proteins (TJs). Our study showed that a high-fat diet could promote the expression of inflammatory factors by activating the MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways and could reshape the microenvironment through extramammary inflammation. Finally, a high-fat diet inhibited the development of the mammary gland during pregnancy and destroyed the integrity of the TJ.

Abstract
Pedunculoside (PE) is derived from the bark of iron holly, a member of the holly family. Previous studies have shown that PE has anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antiviral, cholesterol-lowering and blood-pressure-lowering effects. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of PE on ulcerative colitis and to explore its potential mechanisms. We treated a mouse model of ulcerative colitis induced by DSS (dextran sulfate sodium) with PE. The results showed that PE had an obvious effect on DSS-induced ulcerative colitis. PE significantly improved the colon length and clinical score in mice, and significantly inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines. In the LPS-induced inflammatory response of RAW264.7 macrophages, we also found that PE significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of AKT, ERK1/2, JNK1/2, P65, and P38 to reduce the production of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, COX-2, and iNOS. Furthermore, PE suppressed the LPS-induced transcriptional activities of nuclear factor P65 as well as the phosphorylation of P65. In addition, we also studied the effect of PE on LPS induced AKT/NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways with primary peritoneal macrophages. In summary, PE has a beneficial effect on ulcerative colitis, and may be a potential natural product in the treatment of ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
Mastitis is the inflammation of the mammary gland. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are the most common bacteria responsible for mastitis. When mammary epithelial cells are infected by microorganisms, this activates an inflammatory response. The bacterial infection is recognized by innate pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in the mammary epithelial cells, with the help of Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Upon activation by lipopolysaccharides, a virulent agent of bacteria, the TLRs further trigger nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling to accelerate its pathogenesis. The NF-κB has an essential role in many biological processes, such as cell survival, immune response, inflammation and development. Therefore, the NF-κB signaling triggered by the TLRs then regulates the transcriptional expression of specific inflammatory mediators to initiate inflammation of the mammary epithelial cells. Thus, any aberrant regulation of NF-κB signaling may lead to many inflammatory diseases, including mastitis. Hence, the inhibiting of NF-κB signaling has potential therapeutic applications in mastitis control strategies. In this review, we highlighted the regulation and function of NF-κB signaling in mastitis. Furthermore, the role of NF-κB signaling for therapeutic purposes in mastitis control has been explored in the current review.

Abstract
Mastitis is the inflammation of mammary glands which causes huge economic loss in dairy cows. Inflammation, any tissue injury and pathogens in cow udder activate Toll-like Receptors (TLRs). Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is the major cause of mastitis. In mastitis, activated TLRs initiate the NF-κB/MAPKs pathways which further trigger the gene expression associated with mastitis followed by innate immune response. In this study, pathogenic-induced gene expression profile of pro-inflammatory cytokines in mammary gland tissues, was investigated in mastitis. The Hematoxylin and Eosin (H & E) results indicated severe histopathological changes in infected tissues. Western blot results suggested the over expressions of TLR2/TLR4 with NF-κB/MAPKs pathways activation in infected tissues. qRT-PCR results revealed the gene expression associated with TLR2/TLR4-mediated NF-κB/MAPKs pathways in infected tissues in comparison with non-infected. Statistical analysis of mRNA and relative protein expression levels indicated the up-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) in infected tissues rather than non-infected tissues. These results suggested that the up-regulation of gene expression levels implicated the underlying regulatory pathways for proper immune function in mammary glands. In conclusion, our study might give new insights for investigation and better understanding of mammary gland pathophysiology and TLRs and NF-κB/MAPKs-mediated gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
Aim: Thus far, the anti-inflammatory effect of vanillin in acute lung injury (ALI) has not been studied. This study aimed to investigate the effect of vanillin in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI. Results & methodology: Our study detected the anti-inflammatory effects of vanillin by ELISA and western blot, respectively. Pretreatment of mice with vanillin significantly attenuated LPS-stimulated lung histopathological changes, myeloperoxidase activity and expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines by inhibiting the phosphorylation activities of ERK1/2, p38, AKT and NF-κB p65. In addition, vanillin inhibited LPS-induced TNF-α and IL-6 expression in RAW264.7 cells via ERK1/2, p38 and NF-κB signaling. Conclusion: Vanillin can inhibit macrophage activation and lung inflammation, which suggests new insights for clinical treatment of ALI.

Abstract
Oxidative stress consistently affects lactation length and quality in dairy cows. Oxidative stress in the mammary gland of high-yielding dairy cows is a serious problem. Therefore, we studied the role of butyrate in dairy cow oxidative stress and further elucidated the mechanism of the antioxidative action of mammary epithelial cells in dairy cows. Oxidative stress and activated GPR109A were present in high-yielding dairy cows. Then, bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) were isolated, and oxidative stress-related protein expression was measured, confirming that sodium butyrate (NaB) exerted antioxidant effects through GPR109A, NRF2 and H3K9/14 acetylation. To further study the antioxidative mechanism of butyrate in dairy cows, we also confirmed that butyrate promoted NRF2 nuclear accumulation and H3K9/14 acetylation through the AMPK signaling pathway by western blotting. Additionally, we preliminarily clarified the interaction between NRF2 and H3K9/14 acetylation by Co-IP and ChIP. Butyrate activated the AMPK signaling pathway through GPR109A to promote NRF2 nuclear accumulation and H3K9/14 acetylation, subsequently exerting antioxidant effects through the synergistic functions of these two processes. Then, we studied the effect of butyrate on oxidative stress in dairy cows in vivo, and the results were consistent with those in vitro. Therefore, butyrate played an antioxidant and antiapoptotic role through the GPR109A/AMPK/NRF2 signaling pathway, while H3K9/14 acetylation could promote NRF2 transcription and enhance the antioxidant capacity of BMECs.

Abstract
AIMS Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common chronic microvascular complication of both types of diabetes mellitus, which leads to renal dysfunction and subsequent need of dialysis and organ transplantation. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are metabolic consequence of hyperglycemia and are main contributory factor in the DN pathogenesis through mediating establishment of oxidative status and chronic inflammatory milieu. This study aimed to explore the impact of vanillin on preventing the progression of DN. MAIN METHODS Experimental DN model was established in rats utilizing streptozotocin. Serum concentration of AGEs and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) levels in kidney homogenate were assessed using ELISA technique. Also, we evaluated the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) using immunohistochemistry. KEY FINDINGS Treatment with vanillin for 8 weeks significantly ameliorated DN. Vanillin significantly decreased hyperglycemia and improved kidney function reflected by decreased serum levels of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and decreased proteinuria. Also, vanillin significantly decreased malondialdehyde content and elevated superoxide dismutase activity in renal tissues. Moreover, vanillin decreased renal expression of NF-κB and renal concentrations of IL-6, TGFβ1 and collagen. In addition, vanillin significantly decreased serum AGEs concentration. Also, vanillin attenuated histological abnormalities in kidney architecture. SIGNIFICANCE Vanillin, which is a cheap and abundant natural product, exhibited anti-AGEs, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic activities. These activities might be helpful and potent mechanisms in preventing the progression of DN.

Abstract
Mastitis, an inflammation of mammary gland, is a serious disease that affects the health of dairy cows around the world. Myricetin, a flavonoid from Bayberry, has been reported to suppress various inflammatory response. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of myricetin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced in vivo and in vitro mastitis model and clarify the underlying mechanism. In vivo experiments, myricetin attenuated the severity of inflammatory lesion and neutrophil infiltration. Moreover, myricetin pretreatment induced a significant decrease in the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and the production of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β triggered by LPS. Myricetin pretreatment could also increase the integrity of the blood-milk barrier and upregulate the tight junction proteins in LPS-induced mice mastitis. In vitro, myricetin inhibited LPS-induced inflammatory response in mice mammary epithelial cells (mMECs). In the further mechanism studies, we found that the anti-inflammatory effect of myricetin was mediated by inhibiting LPS-induced phosphorylation of AKT, IKK-α, IκB-α, and P65 in vivo and in vitro. Collectively, these data suggested that myricetin effectively ameliorated the inflammatory response by inhibiting the AKT/IKK/NF-κB signaling pathway and repairing the integrity of blood-milk barrier in LPS-induced mice mastitis.

[PMID: 31264720 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.14693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2018] [Revised: 05/07/2019] [Accepted: 05/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Vanillin, a kind of phenolic compound, is naturally found in food and beverage and widely used as a flavoring agent. In view of the safety and universality of vanillin, exploring the functions of vanillin on human is of great value. Thus, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated THP-1 cells were selected as the cell model to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of vanillin in this study. On the basis of the results, vanillin markedly suppressed the expression of inflammatory cytokines (that is, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8), mediators (NO, iNOS, PGE2, and COX-2), and NLRP3 inflammasome (that is, NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1), blocked the LPS-induced activation of the NF-κB/IκBα/AP-1 signaling pathway, and activated the gene expression of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. In addition, it was confirmed that vanillin was unable to react with LPS due to the results of quantification by HS-SPME-GC-MS. Hence, vanillin could effectively attenuate LPS-induced inflammatory response by regulating the expression of intracellular signaling pathways in THP-1 cells. It is a potent anti-inflammatory component found in food and beverage. These findings might contribute to the overall understanding of the potential health benefits of vanillin for food application. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: In this study, the anti-inflammatory effect of vanillin (VA) was evaluated by ELISA, real-time PCR, and western blot in LPS-induced THP-1 cells. The hypothesis that VA could react with LPS was excluded due to the results of quantification by HS-SPME-GC-MS. On the basis of the result, vanillin could effectively attenuate LPS-induced inflammatory response in THP-1 cells and was a potent anti-inflammatory component natural in food and beverage. These findings might contribute to the overall understanding of the potential health benefits of vanillin for food application.
