Abstract
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a class of cytotoxic rRNA N-glycosylase, which widely exist in higher plants in different taxonomy, including many traditional Chinese medicinal materials and vegetables and fruits. In this paper, the traditional Chinese medicinal plants containing RIPs protein were sorted out, and their pharmacological effects and clinical applications were analyzed. Since many RIPs in traditional Chinese medicine plants exhibit antiviral and antitumor activities and show great clinical application potential, people's interest in these proteins is on the rise. This paper summarizes the possible mechanism of RIPs's anti-virus and anti-tumor effects, and discusses its potential problems and risks, laying a foundation for subsequent research on how to exert its anti-virus and anti-tumor effects.

[PMID: 37375251 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28124697] [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: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Sweet mogrosides are not only the primary bioactive ingredient in Siraitia grosvenorii fruits that exhibit anti-tussive properties and expectorate phlegm, but they are also responsible for the fruit's sweetness. Increasing the content or proportion of sweet mogrosides in Siraitia grosvenorii fruits is significant for improving their quality and industrial production. Post-ripening is an essential step in the post-harvest processing of Siraitia grosvenorii fruits, but the underlying mechanism and condition of post-ripening on Siraitia grosvenorii quality improvement need to be studied systematically. Therefore, this study analyzed the mogroside metabolism in Siraitia grosvenorii fruits under different post-ripening conditions. We further examined the catalytic activity of glycosyltransferase UGT94-289-3 in vitro. The results showed that the post-ripening process of fruits could catalyze the glycosylation of bitter-tasting mogroside IIE and III to form sweet mogrosides containing four to six glucose units. After ripening at 35 °C for two weeks, the content of mogroside V changed significantly, with a maximum increase of 80%, while the increase in mogroside VI was over twice its initial amount. Furthermore, under the suitable catalytic condition, UGT94-289-3 could efficiently convert the mogrosides with less than three glucose units into structurally diverse sweet mogrosides, i.e., with mogroside III as the substrate, 95% of it can converted into sweet mogrosides. These findings suggest that controlling the temperature and related catalytic conditions may activate UGT94-289-3 and promote the accumulation of sweet mogrosides. This study provides an effective method for improving the quality of Siraitia grosvenorii fruits and the accumulation of sweet mogrosides, as well as a new economical, green, and efficient method for producing sweet mogrosides.

Abstract
Monk fruit, also named Luo Han Guo, is the fruit of Siraitia grosvenorii (Swingle) C. Jeffrey ex A. M. Lu et Z. Y. Zhang and has been used as both food and traditional Chinese medicine. Due to preservation concerns, monk fruit is usually processed by hot-air drying or using low-temperature techniques after harvest. In this study, high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method was developed for the analysis of 13 mogrosides, 1 flavonoid, and 3 sugars in monk fruit products. Then chemometric analysis was applied to investigate the chemical characteristics in the samples dried by different methods. The results showed that the contents of mogroside V, 11-oxo-mogroside V, isomogroside V, and sucrose in monk fruits dried at low temperature were much higher than those in traditional hot-air drying samples, which was also confirmed by HPTLC-scanning. These findings indicate that HPTLC combined with chemometric analysis provides a reliable tool to understand the chemical differences between the monk fruit products processed by different drying methods, which will be helpful for their quality evaluation.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) exposure adversely affects female reproduction, especially oocyte meiotic maturation and subsequent embryo development. Although we previously found that mogroside V (MV), a major bioactive component of S. grosvenorii, can protect oocytes from quality deterioration caused by certain stresses, whether MV can alleviate BaP exposure-mediated oocyte meiotic defects remains unknown. In this study, female mice were exposed to BaP and treated concomitantly with MV by gavage. We found that BaP exposure reduced the oocyte maturation rate and blastocyst formation rate, which was associated with increased abnormalities in spindle formation and chromosome alignment, reduced acetylated tubulin levels, damaged actin polymerization and reduced Juno levels, indicating that BaP exposure results in oocyte nucleic and cytoplasmic damage. Interestingly, MV treatment significantly alleviated all the BaP exposure-mediated defects mentioned above, indicating that MV can protect oocytes from BaP exposure-mediated nucleic and cytoplasmic damage. Additionally, BaP exposure increased intracellular ROS levels, meanwhile induced DNA damage and early apoptosis in oocytes, but MV treatment ameliorated these defective parameters, therefore it is possible that MV restored BaP-mediated oocyte defects by reducing oxidative stress. In summary, our findings demonstrate that MV might alleviate oocyte meiotic defects and quality deterioration in BaP-exposed mice.

Introduction, adaptation and characterization of monk fruit (Siraitia grosvenorii): a non-caloric new natural sweetener. Sci Rep 2021; 11:6205.

Abstract
Siraitia grosvenorii, an herbaceous perennial plant, native to the southern parts of China, is commonly used as a low-calorie natural sweetener. It contains cucurbitane-type triterpene glycosides known as mogrosides. The extract from monk fruit is about 300 times sweeter than sucrose. In spite of its immense importance and International demand, Siraitia grosvenorii (Swingle) is not commercially cultivated outside China since scientific information for cultivation of this species is lacking. Planting material of monk fruit plant was not available in India. Thus, the seeds of monk fruit were introduced in India from China after following International norms. Then the experiments were conducted on different aspects such as seed germination, morphological and anatomical characterization, phenology, flowering and pollination behaviors, and dynamic of mogroside-V accumulation in fruit. The hydropriming at 40 °C for 24 h was found effective to reduce the germination time and to increase the germination rate (77.33%). The multicellular uniseriate trichomes were observed in both the leaf surfaces, however, higher trichomes density was observed in the ventral surface of males compared to females. The microscopic view revealed that the ovary was trilocular (ovary consists three chambers) having two ovules in each chamber or locule. Most of the fruits were globose or oblong type with 5–7 cm in length and 4–7 cm diameter. Mogroside-V content in fruit at 80 days after pollination was 0.69% on dry weight basis. The rate of increase of mogroside-V accumulation from 50 to 70 days was very slow, whereas a sharp increase was observed from 70 to 80 days. The higher receptivity of stigma was observed with fully open flowers. The floral diagram and formula have also been developed for both male and female flowers. Our results highlighted that monk fruit can be grown in Indian conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes Mellitus (DM) accelerates progress of lung cancer. Hyperglycemia, a critical feature of DM, promotes lung cancer metastasis. Mogroside V is a triterpenoid glycoside from Siraitia grosvenorii. Interestingly, mogroside V not only plays an anti-diabetic role, but also has anti-tumor effects. OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigated the metastatic efficiency of mogroside V in lung cancer cells cultured in hyperglycemia. METHODS Two lung cancer cell lines-A549 and H1299 were cultured in normoglycemia (5.5mM glucose) and hyperglycemia (25mM glucose). Cellular proliferation was tested by MTT, invasion was examined by transwell assay, migration was measured by wound healing assay, cytoskeleton was stained by Phalloidin-TRITC and the expressions of EMT markers and Rho-GTPase family protein were detected by western blot. RESULTS Hyperglycemia promoted the invasion and migration of A549 and H1299 cells compared with normoglycemia. Mogroside V inhibited the hyperglycemia-induced invasion and migration. Hyperglycemia promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), while mogroside V could reverse this process through up-regulating E-Cadherin expression and down-regulating N-Cadherin, Vimentin, Snail expressions. Furthermore, mogroside V fractured microfilaments and reduced Rho A, Rac1, Cdc42 and p-PAK1 expressions under hyperglycemic conditions. CONCLUSION These results suggest that mogroside V inhibits hyperglycemia-induced lung cancer cells migration and invasion through reversing EMT and damaging cytoskeleton.

Front Pharmacol 2020; 11:859. [PMID: 32587518 PMCID: PMC7298197 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2020.00859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The incidence of pancreatitis (AP) is increasing and there is no specific treatment available. Intracellular digestive enzyme activation is a key event in the pathogenesis of AP downstream of cytosolic calcium overload and impaired autophagy. Siraitia grosvenorii (Swingle) was used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to reduce inflammation and facilitate bowel movement. The bioactive components of this plant show hypolipedimic, antidiabetic, antifibrotic activity and have been used against pancreatic cancer. Here, we examined whether mogroside IIE, a major bioactive component of unripe S. grosvenorii fruit, can protect against AP. We found that mogroside IIE decreased the activity of trypsin and cathepsin B induced by cerulein plus lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the pancreatic acinar cell line AR42J and primary acinar cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Mogroside IIE treatment decreased the levels of serum lipase and serum amylase in mice injected with cerulein plus LPS without influencing inflammation significantly. A multi-cytokine array revealed that mogroside IIE decreased the level of interleukin 9 (IL-9) in AP mice. Exogenous IL-9 eliminated the mogroside IIE induced reduction of trypsin and cathepsin B activity and reversed the inhibition of cytosolic calcium and modulation of autophagy mediated by mogroside IIE. An IL-9 receptor antibody neutralized the effect of IL-9, restoring mogroside IIE activity. The mogroside IIE targeted IL-9 may partially arise from Th9 cells. Taken together, we provide experimental evidence that mogroside IIE ameliorates AP in cell models and mice through downregulation of the IL-9/IL-9 receptor pathway.

Abstract
Postovulatory ageing compromises oocyte quality and subsequent development in various manners. We aimed to assay the protective effects of mogroside V on porcine oocyte quality during in vitro ageing and explore the related causes. We observed that mogroside V can effectively maintain normal oocyte morphology and early embryo development competence after prolonged culture for 24 h. Moreover, mogroside V can markedly reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, alleviate spindle formation and chromosome alignment abnormalities, improve mitochondrial contents, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels and the membrane potential (ΔΨm), and reduce early apoptosis in aged oocytes. We examined the molecular changes and found that SIRT1 expression was decreased in in vitro aged oocytes but was maintained by exposure to mogroside V. However, when SIRT1 was successfully inhibited by the specific inhibitor EX-527, mogroside V could not reduce ROS levels or alleviate abnormal spindle organization and chromosome misalignment. In summary, our results demonstrated that mogroside V can alleviate the deterioration of oocyte quality during in vitro ageing, possibly by reducing oxidative stress through SIRT1 upregulation.

Abstract
Oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) plays a pivotal role in in vitro embryo production. However, the efficiency of IVM is still low and needs to be further improved. In the present study, we evaluated the beneficial effects of mogroside V, an extract derived from Siraitia grosvenorii, on oocyte IVM. Porcine cumulus-oocyte complexes were cultured in IVM medium supplemented or not supplemented with mogroside V for 40 h. We found that mogroside V supplementation increased the percentage of oocyte first polar body extrusion and improved subsequent blastocyst formation after parthenogenetic activation. Furthermore, mogroside V reduced the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increased the mRNA expression of oxidative stress-related genes (SOD, CAT and SIRT1). Moreover, mogroside V supplementation enhanced the mitochondrial content, mtDNA copy number, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), ATP generation, and the relative mRNA expression of mitochondria-related genes (PGC-1α and TFAM). In summary, our findings demonstrate that mogroside V supplementation reduces intracellular ROS levels and enhances mitochondrial function to promote porcine oocyte IVM.

Abstract
Background Luo-han-guo (Siraitia grosvenorii), also called monk fruit, is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family. Monk fruit has become an important area for research because of the pharmacological and economic potential of its noncaloric, extremely sweet components (mogrosides). It is also commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of lung congestion, sore throat, and constipation. Recently, a single reference genome became available for monk fruit, assembled from 36.9x genome coverage reads via Illumina sequencing platforms. This genome assembly has a relatively short (34.2 kb) contig N50 length and lacks integrated annotations. These drawbacks make it difficult to use as a reference in assembling transcriptomes and discovering novel functional genes. Findings Here, we offer a new high-quality draft of the S. grosvenorii genome assembled using 31 Gb (∼73.8x) long single molecule real time sequencing reads and polished with ∼50 Gb Illumina paired-end reads. The final genome assembly is approximately 469.5 Mb, with a contig N50 length of 432,384 bp, representing a 12.6-fold improvement. We further annotated 237.3 Mb of repetitive sequence and 30,565 consensus protein coding genes with combined evidence. Phylogenetic analysis showed that S. grosvenorii diverged from members of the Cucurbitaceae family approximately 40.9 million years ago. With comprehensive transcriptomic analysis and differential expression testing, we identified 4,606 up-regulated genes in the early fruit compared to the leaf, a number of which were linked to metabolic pathways regulating fruit development and ripening. Conclusions The availability of this new monk fruit genome assembly, as well as the annotations, will facilitate the discovery of new functional genes and the genetic improvement of monk fruit.

Abstract
Although plumbagin, a natural naphthoquinone, has exhibited antiproliferative activity in numerous types of cancer, its anticancer potential in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains unclear. In the present study, the effect of plumbagin on the growth of ESCC cells was investigated in vitro and in vivo. ESCC cells were treated with plumbagin and tested for cell cycle distribution and apoptosis. The involvement of STAT3 signaling in the effect of plumbagin was examined. The results demonstrated that plumbagin treatment suppressed ESCC cell viability and proliferation, yet normal esophageal epithelial cell viability was not affected. Plumbagin treatment increased the proportion of cells in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle and decreased the proportion of cells in the S phase. Furthermore, plumbagin‑treated ESCC cells displayed a significantly greater % of apoptotic cells. Western blot analysis confirmed that plumbagin upregulated tumor protein p53 and cyclin‑dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (also known as p21), while it downregulated cyclin D1, cyclin‑dependent kinase 4, and induced myeloid leukemia cell differentiation protein Mcl‑1. Mechanistically, plumbagin inhibited STAT3 activation, and overexpression of constitutively active STAT3 reversed the plumbagin‑mediated growth suppression in ESCC cells. In vivo studies demonstrated that plumbagin delayed the growth of ESCC xenograft tumors and reduced STAT3 phosphorylation. Overall, plumbagin was demonstrated to target STAT3 signaling and to inhibit the growth of ESCC cells both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that it may represent a potential anticancer agent for ESCC.

Abstract
Siraitia grosvenorii is an economic and medicinal plant, its fruit is considered to be good to health for its diverse bioactive ingredients. However, the clarification of chemical composition and their changes after saccharification procedure are not well performed. In present study, a metabolomics method based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was developed for metabolic profiling acquisition of Siraitia grosvenorii extract. Furthermore, information dependent analysis (IDA) combined with self-constructed LC-MS/MS identification system for metabolites were employed to identify primary and secondary metabolites in Siraitia grosvenorii. A total of 126 metabolites were identified or tentatively identified. The obvious differences of metabolic profiling between green fruit and saccharified yellow fruit were observed, and metabolites showed their own distribution characteristics in peel, flesh and seed. The majority of the nutrients and effective components were more distributed in flesh and peel, and saccharification was conducive to accumulation of sweet glycosides. This study not only expanded metabolite composition information of Siraitia grosvenorii, but also specified distribution characteristics of identified metabolites.

Abstract
Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are enzymes that deadenylate nucleic acids and are broadly distributed in the plant kingdom. Many plants that contain RIPs are listed in the pharmacopoeias of folk medicine all over the world, mostly because of their toxicity. This review analyses the position occupied in traditional medicine by plants from which RIPs have been isolated. The overview starts from the antique age of the Mediterranean area with ancient Egypt, followed by the Greek and Roman classic period. Then, the ancient oriental civilizations of China and India are evaluated. More recently, Unani medicine and European folk medicine are examined. Finally, the African and American folk medicines are taken into consideration. In conclusion, a list of RIP-expressing plants, which have been used in folk medicine, is provided with the geographical distribution and the prescriptions that are recommended by traditional healers. Some final considerations are provided on the present utilization of such herbal treatments, both in developing and developed countries, often in the absence of scientific validation. The most promising prospect for the medicinal use of RIP-expressing plants is the conjugation of purified RIPs to antibodies that recognise tumour antigens for cancer therapy.
