Influence of red wine polysaccharides on cytochrome P450 enzymes and inflammatory parameters in tumor models. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 240:124385. [PMID: 37060983 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124385] [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: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2023] [Indexed: 04/17/2023]
Abstract
The soluble fraction of polysaccharides from cabernet franc red wine (SFP) previously showed antitumoral effects by modulating the immune system. The present study tested the hypothesis that the SFP can regulate CYPs in vitro in HepG2 cells and in vivo in Walker-256 tumor-bearing rats. The SFP was used in the following protocols: (i) solid tumor, (ii) liquid tumor, and (iii) chemopreventive solid tumor. The SFP reduced solid tumor growth in both solid tumor protocols but did not inhibit liquid tumor development. The SFP reduced total CYP levels in the solid and liquid tumor protocols and reduced the gene expression of Cyp1a1 and Cyp2e1 in rats and CYP1A2 in HepG2 cells. An increase of N-acetylglucosaminidase activity was observed in all SFP-treated rats, and TNF-α levels increased in the solid tumor protocol in the vehicle, SFP, and vincristine (positive control) groups. The chemopreventive solid tumor protocol did not modify CYP levels in the liver or intestine or N-acetylglucosaminidase and myeloperoxidase activity in the liver. The in vitro digestion and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses suggested that SFP was minimally modified in the gastrointestinal system. In conclusion, SFP inhibited CYPs both in vivo and in vitro, likely as a result of its immunoinflammatory actions.

Abstract
Pregnane derivatives have been studied mainly for their 5α-reductase activity. However, the anti-inflammatory activities of such compounds are still poorly explored. In the search for new anti-inflammatory agents, seven new pregnane derivatives 6a-g, with cinnamic acid esters at C-3 were prepared and fully characterized. The anti-inflammatory activity of compounds was assessed in TPA induced mice ear model. From them, compound 6 b was the most active to reduce edema, with an ED50 of 0.017 mg/ear. Also, Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics studies were performed to identify a potential molecular target related to the inflammatory process. The in vivo results suggest that 6 b could be a potent anti-inflammatory compound, while in silico studies suggest its interaction with some critical enzymes in the inflammatory response.

Abstract
The present study investigated the antineoplastic effects of pectic polysaccharides that were extracted from green sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum [CAP]) in the Ehrlich carcinoma in mice and in human mammary tumor lineages. After the subcutaneous inoculation of 2 × 106 Ehrlich tumor cells, Female Swiss mice received 50, 100, or 150 mg/kg CAP or vehicle orally once daily or methotrexate (2.5 mg/kg, i.p., every 5 days) for 21 days. CAP dose-dependently reduced Ehrlich tumor growth. It also reduced the viability of MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-436 human mammary cell lineages. Treatment with CAP reduced the gene expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in vivo and in vitro, reduced vessel areas of the tumors, and induced necrosis in Ehrlich solid tumors. CAP treatment significantly increased Interleukin-6 in tumors. The antineoplastic effect of CAP appears to depend on the regulation of inflammation and angiogenesis. Further studies are encouraged to better understand the CAP potential for the treatment of breast tumors.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are substances that modify the biological response to several stressors. The present study investigated the antitumor activity of the soluble fraction of polysaccharides (SFP), extracted from cabernet franc red wine, in Walker-256 tumor-bearing rats. The monosaccharide composition had a complex mixture, suggesting the presence of arabinoglactans, mannans, and pectins. Treatment with SFP (30 and 60mg/kg, oral) for 14days significantly reduced the tumor weight and volume compared with controls. Treatment with 60mg/kg SFP reduced blood monocytes and neutrophils, reduced the tumor activity of N-acetylglucosaminidase, myeloperoxidase, and nitric oxide, increased blood lymphocytes, and increased the levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) in tumor tissue. Treatment with SFP also induced the expression of the cell necroptosis-related genes Rip1 and Rip3. The antineoplastic effect of SFP appears to be attributable to its action on the immune system by controlling the tumor microenvironment and stimulating TNF-α production, which may trigger the necroptosis pathway.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Abstract Context: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, a potent proinflammatory cytokine, plays a major role in the pathogenesis of cancer. TNF-α converting enzyme (TACE) mediates processing and release of biologically active TNF-α. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the effect of a novel, selective TACE inhibitor (compound 11p) on skin inflammation and associated tumorigenesis in mice. METHODS Skin edema was induced in mice by dermal application 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) solution in acetone on to the ear and the effect of post-treatment of compound 11p (topical application) was evaluated. Edema and inflammation was assessed by measuring ear thickness, weight of skin punch and cytokine levels. Skin cancer in mice was initiated by single topical application of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and promoted by repeated TPA application for 20 weeks. The effect of compound 11p on papilloma incidence and multiplicity was evaluated. RESULTS Treatment with compound 11p strongly suppressed TPA-induced elevation in skin thickness and weight. A dose-dependent suppression in TPA-mediated TNF-α, IL-6, IFN-γ, IL-17 and PGE2 levels which was associated with a decrease in infiltration of inflammatory cells was also observed with the treatment. Moreover, compound 11p treatment delayed the onset, markedly reduced the papilloma incidence and multiplicity persuaded by DMBA and TPA. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION These findings suggest that selective blockade of TACE suppresses TPA-induced epidermal hyperplasia, inflammatory cell infiltration and cytokine level. Inhibition of inflammatory events related to tumor growth might have led to the anti-tumor effect in mouse skin cancer model induced by DMBA and TPA.

Abstract
We investigated the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of the crude ethanolic extract (CEE), its fractions, and the flavonoid isorhamnetin from Aspidosperma tomentosum using models of nociception and inflammation in mice. In the writhing test, the CEE and its fractions (except for soluble phase, CHCl3 100% and EtAcO 100%) at 100 mg/kg p.o. induced antinociceptive activity. Isorhamnetin (100 μmol/kg, p.o.) was also active. In the hot plate test, only the treatment with the fractions Hex : CHCl3 50%, CHCl3 100%, and CHCl3 : MeOH 5% (100 mg/kg, p.o.) increased the latency time, reversed by the opioid antagonist naloxone. Fractions that were active in the hot plate test did not show catalepsy condition. It was observed that CEE, all fractions, and isorhamnetin reduced the formalin effects in the neurogenic phase. In the inflammatory phase, only CEE, isorhamnetin, and CHCl3 100% and CHCl3 : MeOH 5% fractions were active. CEE and all fractions, except for CHCl3 : MeOH 10% fraction, isorhamnetin, and soluble fraction were able to produce an antioedematogenic activity in the ear capsaicin-induced edema test. In the thioglycolate-induced peritonitis, only EtAcO 100% fraction was not active. The results demonstrate that A. tomentosum has antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities in animal models.

Abstract
Stellatin (4), isolated from Dysophylla stellata is a cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor. The present study reports the synthesis and biological evaluation of new stellatin derivatives for COX-1, COX-2 inhibitory and anti-inflammatory activities. Eight derivatives showed more pronounced COX-2 inhibition than stellatin and, 17 and 21 exhibited the highest COX-2 inhibition. They also exhibited the significant anti-inflammatory activity in TPA-induced mouse ear edema assay and their anti-inflammatory effects were more than that of stellatin and indomethacin at 0.5mg/ear. The derivatives were further evaluated for antioxidant activity wherein 16 and 17 showed potent free radical scavenging activity against DPPH and ABTS radicals. Molecular docking study revealed the binding orientations of stellatin and its derivatives into the active sites of COX-1 and COX-2 and thereby helps to design the potent inhibitors.

Abstract
The dried fruits of Crataegus pinnatifida have been used traditionally as oriental medicine and local soft drink material recently. Previously, we demonstrated that C. pinnatifida exhibited anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory potential. To clarify the active components in anti-transformation and anti-tumor promotion, we collected the polyphenol fraction (CF-TP) of hot-water extracts from dried fruits of C. pinnatifida for the following study. By anchorage-independent transformation assay, CF-TP significantly inhibited 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced cell transformation in JB6 P(+) cells. Moreover, we found that CF-TP inhibited the expression of osteopontin (OPN), a transformational marker, and the activation of NF-kappaB and AP-1 induced by TPA in JB6 P(+) cells. In addition, we evaluated the effect of CF-TP on TPA application to ICR mouse skin with measurement of H(2)O(2) production, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, edema formation, epidermal thickness and leukocyte infiltration. As a result, CF-TP significantly inhibited the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the phenomena of inflammation induced by TPA. It also suppressed the expression of COX-2 and iNOS, and the activation of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). Furthermore, CF-TP inhibited benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P)/TPA-induced skin tumor formation and decreased the incidence of tumor. These results indicate that CF-TP possesses potential as a cancer chemopreventive agent against tumor promotion.

Abstract
We describe herein the discovery of LASSBio-881 (3c) as a novel in vivo antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and in vitro antiproliferative and antioxidant compound, with a cannabinoid ligand profile. We observed that LASSBio-881 (3c) was able to bind to CB1 receptors (71% at 100microM) and also to inhibit T-cell proliferation (66% at 10microM) probably by binding to CB2 receptors, in a non-proapoptotic manner, different from anandamide (1). It was also demonstrated that LASSBio-881 (3c) had an important antioxidant profile toward free radicals (DPPH and hydroxyl), probably due to its particular redox behavior, which reflects the presence of both nitro and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl sub-units, as demonstrated by cyclic voltammetry studies. In addition, we showed that these structural sub-units are essential for the observed pharmacological activity.

Abstract
Prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs) derived from arachidonic acid (AA) are potent mediators of inflammation and cell proliferation. Dietary intake of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) appears beneficial to both inflammatory processes and cell proliferation. However, there is no clear mechanism explaining these effects. In this study, we investigated the effect of EPA on the AA incorporation in phospholipid membranes, on AA release and metabolism, and consequently, on PG synthesis. Our results showed not only that [(3)H]AA and [(14)C]EPA were similar incorporated into RAW 264.7 macrophage membranes, but also that the redistribution pattern between phospholipids was alike. [(3)H]AA or [(14)C]EPA release was induced by fetal bovine serum (FBS) in a similar fashion with AA metabolizing 3-fold more than EPA. In this way, we observed that AA could be metabolized by cyclooxygenase (COX)-1, COX-2 and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) whereas EPA was metabolized by COX-2 and 5-LOX pathways. Moreover, both fatty acids were able to induce COX-2 expression. When we incubated [(3)H]AA labeled cells with exogenous EPA, we observed that EPA did not modify FBS-induced [(3)H]AA release but that the presence of EPA decreased [(3)H]AA metabolism and therefore PGE(2) synthesis. Moreover, we studied the effect of AA and EPA metabolites on macrophage proliferation. Our results showed that PGE(3) stimulated cell growth with a potency similar to that of PGE(2), whereas LTB(5) was less effective than LTB(4). These data suggest that the effects of EPA on cell growth might be attributable, at least in part, to the marked decrease of eicosanoid release.

Abstract
We have previously reported that the bile acids chenodeoxycholate (CDCA) and ursodeoxycholate (UDCA) decreased PGE1-induced cAMP production in a time- and dose-dependent manner not only in hepatocytes but also in nonhepatic cells, including dermal fibroblasts. In the present study, we investigated the physiological relevance of this cAMP modulatory action of bile acids. PGE1 induced cAMP production in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Moreover, PGE1 (1 microM), forskolin (1-10 microM), and the membrane-permeable cAMP analog CPT-cAMP (0.1-10 microM) decreased dermal fibroblast proliferation in a dose-dependent manner with a maximum inhibition of approximately 80%. CDCA alone had no significant effect on cell proliferation at a concentration up to 25 microM. However, CDCA significantly reduced PGE1-induced cAMP production by 80-90% with an EC(50) of approximately 20 microM. Furthermore, at concentrations < or =25 microM, CDCA significantly attenuated the PGE-1-induced decreased cell proliferation. However, at concentrations of 50 microM and above, while still able to almost completely inhibit PGE-1-induced cAMP production, CDCA, at least in part through an increased cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression level and PGE2 synthesis, produced a direct and significant decrease in cell proliferation. Indeed, the CDCA effect was partially blocked by approximately 50-70% by both indomethacin and dexamethasone. In addition, overexpression of COX-2 cDNA wild type resulted in an increased efficacy of CDCA to block cell proliferation. The effects of CDCA on both cAMP production and cell proliferation were similar to those of UDCA and under the same conditions cholate had no effect. Results of the present study underline pathophysiological consequences of cholestatic hepatobiliary disorders, in which cells outside of the enterohepatic circulation can be exposed to elevated bile acid concentrations. Under these conditions, low bile acid concentrations can attenuate the negative hormonal control on cell proliferation, resulting in the stimulation of cell growth, while at high concentrations these bile acids provide for a profound and prolonged inhibition of cell proliferation.

Abstract
Licochalcone A, a novel flavonoid isolated from the root of Glycyrrhiza inflata, has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory activity in animal models. In this study, we examined the effect of licochalcone A on the production of chemical mediators such as prostaglandin (PG)E2 and cytokines by interleukin (IL)-1beta in human skin fibroblasts. Licochalcone A (IC50 15.0 nM) inhibited PGE2 production, but not IL-6 and IL-8 production, in response to IL-1beta. NS-398 (IC50 1.6 nM), a COX-2 selective inhibitor, also suppressed the PGE2 production. Furthermore, licochalcone A and NS-398 suppressed PGF(2alpha) production by IL-1beta. However, licochalcone A (1 microM) had no effect on increased levels of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 mRNA and protein in cells. Dexamethasone (100 nM) not only inhibited PGE2, PGF(2alpha), IL-6 and IL-8 production but also strongly suppressed the expression of COX-2 mRNA and protein. Licochalcone A had no effect on COX-1-dependent PGE2 production, whereas indometacin (100 nM), a dual inhibitor of COX-1 and COX-2, was very effective. These results suggest that licochalcone A induces an anti-inflammatory effect through the inhibition of COX-2-dependent PGE2 production. Furthermore, it appears that the inhibitory effect of licochalcone A on PGE2 production in response to IL-1beta is quite different from that of the steroid.

Abstract
Topical application of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) to mouse ear induced a prolonged skin inflammation. Histological analysis revealed that the early stage (approximately 3 h) and later stage (6-24 h) of the skin reaction are characterized by dermal edema and cell accumulation, respectively. Topical application with TPA also induced increase in the level of TNF-alpha and prostagrandin E2 (PGE2) at the application site. The increase of TNF-alpha was transient with a peak at approximately 5 h, followed by a gradual elevation of PGE2 level in the skin. An in vitro study with human keratinocytes as well as immunohistochemical analysis suggested that TNF-alpha induction in the skin might be produced by epidermis treated with TPA. Administration of a cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin inhibited the later stage of the TPA-induced edema. In contrast, TNF-alpha antagonist etanercept inhibited exclusively the early stage of the reaction. Taken together, these data demonstrate that the prolongation of the skin inflammation induced by TPA may be due to the sequential production of proinflammatory mediators such as eicosanoids and cytokines, and show for the first time the importance of TNF-alpha in the TPA-induced dermatitis especially at the stage where dermal edema is significant.

Abstract
Sulindac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with demonstrated potency as a chemopreventive agent in animal models of carcinogenesis and in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. Because tumor promotion is generally associated with exposure to pro-inflammatory stimuli, it is likely that anti-inflammatory agents may have potent antitumor effects. In human skin, sulindac reduces bradykinin-induced edema. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the cyclooxygenase inhibitor sulindac can protect against ultraviolet (UVB)-induced injury that is crucial for the induction of cancer. Exposure of SKH-1 hairless mice to two consecutive doses of UVB (230 mJ/cm2) induces various inflammatory responses including erythema, edema, epidermal hyperplasia, infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, etc. Topical application of sulindac (1.25-5.0 mg/0.2 ml acetone) to the dorsal skin of SKH-1 hairless mice either 1 h before or immediately after UVB exposure substantially inhibited these inflammatory responses in a dose-dependent manner. Oral administration of sulindac in drinking water (160 ppm) for 15 days before and during UVB irradiation similarly reduced these inflammatory responses. These potent anti-inflammatory effects of sulindac suggested the possibility that the drug could inhibit signaling processes that relate to carcinogenic insult by UVB. Accordingly, studies were conducted to assess the efficacy of sulindac in attenuating the expression of UVB-induced early surrogate molecular markers of photodamage and carcinogenesis. UVB exposure enhanced the expression of p53, c-fos, cyclins D1 and A, and PCNA 24 h after irradiation. Treatment of animals with either topical or oral administration of sulindac largely abrogated the expression of these UVB-induced surrogate markers. These results indicate that the cyclooxygenase inhibitor sulindac is effective in reducing UVB-induced events relevant to carcinogenesis and that this category of topically applied or orally administered drugs may prove to be effective chemopreventive agents for reducing the risk of photocarcinogenesis in human populations.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase (COX), a prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS), catalyzes the formation of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid. Prostaglandins are lipid signaling mediators that play a central role in a broad range of diverse physiological and pathophysiological processes, including inflammation, reproduction, nocioception, and gastrointestinal protection. Inhibition of cyclooxygenase activity is the mechanism by which nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) exert their analgesic, antipyretic, antiinflammatory, and antithrombotic effects. COX is currently believed to exist in three isoforms. In this review, we provide a concise state-of-the-art description of the role of COX in pharmacology and toxicology of skin including its involvement in normal physiology, cutaneous inflammation, nociception, wound healing, and tumorigenesis. COX-dependent pathways influence keratinocyte differentiation, hair follicle development, and hair growth. The critical role of COX-2 in pathophysiology of skin is also addressed. COX-2 mediates inflammatory processes in skin, including inflammatory hyperalgesia and nociception, and administration of specific COX-2 inhibitors reduces edema, vascular permeability, and other markers of cutaneous inflammation. A number of studies in animal models and in humans show that COX-2 inhibitors possess cancer chemopreventive properties. Selective COX-2 inhibitors have a more favorable side-effect profile. Topical formulations of COX-2 inhibitors are being developed as a novel pharmacologic approach for the treatment of COX-2 mediated skin diseases.

Abstract
Flavonoids from plant origin show anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in vivo. In addition to inhibition of inflammation-associated enzymes, such as cyclooxygenases (COX) and lipoxygenases, they have been found to regulate the expression of inflammation-associated proteins from in vitro experiments. In order to prove in vivo behavior and the potential for beneficial use against inflammatory skin disorders, the effect of wogonin (5,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxyflavone) on in vivo expression of several inflammation-associated genes was examined in the intact as well as in the inflamed mouse skin by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis. When applied topically on the intact skin, only a high dose treatment of wogonin (1000 microg/ear/3 days) slightly increased COX-1 and fibronectin mRNA. On the other hand, wogonin at the doses of 250-1000 microg/ear/3 days potently lowered mRNA levels of COX-2 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha with less effect on intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and interleukin-1beta in a sub-chronic skin inflammation model of tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced ear edema (multiple treatment). The decrease of prostaglandin E(2) concentration (27.3-34.3%) was concomitantly observed in the wogonin-treated groups. A similar effect was also observed in an acute inflammation model of arachidonic acid-induced ear edema. From the present study, wogonin was proved to differentially regulate the expression of inflammation-associated genes in vivo and to become a useful therapeutic agent for skin inflammatory diseases mainly due to its modulation of the expression of proinflammatory molecules.

Abstract
The accumulation of neutrophils and mononuclear cells is a characteristic feature of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA)-induced ear edema. This cell influx was accompanied by the enhancement of eicosanoid tissue levels and prostaglandin H synthase-2 (PGHS-2) overexpression. Sialidase treatment, which affects the structure of selectins and inhibits leukocyte influx, significantly reduced eicosanoid and PGHS-2 levels and edema. In contrast, skin PGHS-2 overexpression induced by arachidonic acid (AA) application was not affected by sialidase treatment. These results suggest that PGHS-2 overexpression induced by TPA could be induced by AA and/or AA metabolite release by leukocyte infiltrated during the inflammatory process.
