[PMID: 39167306 PMCID: PMC11338980 DOI: 10.1007/s10653-024-02158-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024]
Abstract
As the most common endocrine cancer, thyroid cancer (TC) has sharply increased globally over the past three decades. The growing incidence of TC might be counted by genetics, radiation, iodine, autoimmune disease, and exposure to environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), being typical EDCs, have been widely utilized in plastics, electronics, furniture, and textiles as flame retardants since the 1980s, and research has indicated a significant correlation between their exposure and the risk of TC. Even so, PBDEs exposure impact on the metabolic signature for TC remains unexplored. In this study, eight congeners of PBDEs were determined in serum from 111 patents with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and 111 healthy participants based on case-control epidemiology using gas chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-APCI-MS/MS). Based on the tertile distribution of total PBDEs concentrations in 59 participants, metabolomics analysis was further performed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap MS. In the partial correlation analysis, the 29 identified metabolites were correlated with PBDEs exposure (P < 0.05). In addition, PBDEs disrupted the metabolism of glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, taurine, and hypotaurine, indicating that neurotransmitters, oxidative stress, and inflammation are the vulnerable pathways affected in PTC. Furthermore, (±)-octopamine and 5-hydroxyindole, both of which modulate the actions of neurotransmitters, emerged as potential disturbed metabolite markers for TC following exposure to PBDEs. This study analyzed the impact of PBDEs on PTC in terms of the metabolic changes and further explored possible biomarkers, which helped us have a deep understanding of the possible mechanism of the effects of PBDEs on TC.

Carnosic acid: an effective phenolic diterpenoid for prevention and management of cancers via targeting multiple signaling pathways. Pharmacol Res 2024; 206:107288. [PMID: 38977208 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2024.107288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2024] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
Cancer is a serious global public health issue, and a great deal of research has been made to treat cancer. Of these, discovery of promising compounds that effectively fight cancer always has been the main point of interest in pharmaceutical research. Carnosic acid (CA) is a phenolic diterpenoid compound widely present in Lamiaceae plants such as Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.). In recent years, there has been increasing evidence that CA has significant anti-cancer activity, such as leukaemia, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, lymphoma, prostate cancer, oral cancer, etc. The potential mechanisms involved by CA, including inhibiting cell proliferation, inhibiting metastasis, inducing cell apoptosis, stimulating autophagy, regulating the immune system, reducing inflammation, regulating the gut microbiota, and enhancing the effects of other anti-cancer drugs. This article reviews the biosynthesis, pharmacokinetics and metabolism, safety and toxicity, as well as the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways of the anticancer activity of CA. This will contribute to the development of CA or CA-containing functional foods for the prevention and treatment of cancer, providing important advances in the advancement of cancer treatment strategies.

Abstract
Aging is a multifaceted process influenced by hereditary factors, lifestyle, and environmental elements. As time progresses, the human body experiences degenerative changes in major functions. The external and internal signs of aging manifest in various ways, including skin dryness, wrinkles, musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer. Additionally, cancer, like aging, is a complex disease that arises from the accumulation of various genetic and epigenetic alterations. Circadian clock dysregulation has recently been identified as an important risk factor for aging and cancer development. Natural compounds and herbal medicines have gained significant attention for their potential in preventing age-related diseases and inhibiting cancer progression. These compounds demonstrate antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-metastatic, and anti-angiogenic effects as well as circadian clock regulation. This review explores age-related diseases, cancers, and the potential of specific natural compounds in targeting the key features of these conditions.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant health problem with elevated mortality rates, prompting intense exploration of its complex molecular mechanisms and innovative therapeutic avenues. Resveratrol (RSV), recognised for its anticancer effects through SIRT1 activation, is a promising candidate for CRC treatment. This study focuses on elucidating RSV's role in CRC progression, particularly its effect on autophagy-related apoptosis. Using bioinformatics, protein imprinting and immunohistochemistry, we established a direct correlation between FOXQ1 and adverse CRC prognosis. Comprehensive in vitro experiments confirmed RSV's ability to promote autophagy-related apoptosis in CRC cells. Plasmids for SIRT1 modulation were used to investigate underlying mechanisms. Molecular docking, glutathione-S-transferase pull-down experiments and immunoprecipitation highlighted RSV's direct activation of SIRT1, resulting in the inhibition of FOXQ1 expression. Downstream interventions identified ATG16L as a crucial autophagic target. In vivo and in vitro studies validated RSV's potential for CRC therapy through the SIRT1/FOXQ1/ATG16L pathway. This study establishes RSV's capacity to enhance autophagy-related cell apoptosis in CRC, positioning RSV as a prospective therapeutic agent for CRC within the SIRT1/FOXQ1/ATG16L pathway.

Nutr Res 2024; 124:21-42. [PMID: 38364552 DOI: 10.1016/j.nutres.2024.01.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
A growing body of evidence suggests that cancer remains a significant global health challenge, necessitating the development of novel therapeutic approaches. In recent years, the molecular crosstalk between polyphenols and gut microbiota has emerged as a promising pathway for cancer prevention. Polyphenols, abundant in many plant-based foods, possess diverse bioactive properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. The gut microbiota, a complex microbial community residing in the gastrointestinal tract, plays a crucial role in a host's health and disease risks. This review highlights cancer suppressive and oncogenic mechanisms of gut microbiota, the intricate interplay between gut microbiota modulation and polyphenol biotransformation, and the potential therapeutic implications of this interplay in cancer prevention. Furthermore, this review explores the molecular mechanisms underpinning the synergistic effects of polyphenols and the gut microbiota, such as modulation of signaling pathways and immune response and epigenetic modifications in animal and human studies. The current review also summarizes the challenges and future directions in this field, including the development of personalized approaches that consider interindividual variations in gut microbiota composition and function. Understanding the molecular crosstalk could offer new perspectives for the development of personalized cancer therapies targeting the polyphenol-gut axis. Future clinical trials are needed to validate the potential role of polyphenols and gut microbiota as innovative therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol present in a variety of food stuff, has been shown to exert preventive and curative anticancer activity in several in vitro and in vivo models. Such chemopreventive/anticancer activity has been linked to biochemical and epigenetic modifications of multiple pathways involved in carcinogenesis and metastasization. In this commentary, we focus on the recent work done in our laboratory showing that resveratrol has potential to prevent and cure cancer by promoting epigenetic-mediated autophagy-dependent tumor dormancy, an effect associated with re-education of the cancer-associated fibroblasts and reduced production of inflammatory cytokines in the tumor microenvironment. The clinical translation of the current knowledge on resveratrol anticancer activity is also discussed.

Abstract
Thyroid carcinoma (TC) is a prevalent malignancy of the endocrine system, with a notable rise in its detection rate in recent decades. The primary therapeutic approaches for TC now encompass thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine therapy, yielding favorable prognoses for the majority of patients. TC survivors may necessitate ongoing surveillance, remedial treatment, and thyroid hormone supplementation, while also enduring the adverse consequences of thyroid hormone fluctuations, surgical complications, or side effects linked to radioactive iodine administration, and encountering enduring physical, psychosocial, and economic hardships. In vitro and in vivo studies of natural products against TC are demonstrating the potential of these natural products as alternatives to the treatment of thyroid cancer. This therapy may offer greater convenience, affordability, and acceptability than traditional therapies. In the early screening of natural products, we mainly use a combination of database prediction and literature search. The pharmacological effects on TC of selected natural products (quercetin, genistein, apigenin, luteolin, chrysin, myricetin, resveratrol, curcumin and nobiletin), which hold promise for therapeutic applications in TC, are reviewed in detail in this article through most of the cell-level evidence, animal-level evidence, and a small amount of human-level evidence. In addition, this article explores possible issues, such as bioavailability, drug safety.

Abstract
Recently, several meta-analyses (MAs) have focused on the health effects of resveratrol. However, the methodological and reporting quality of these MAs has not yet been fully evaluated so far. Therefore, the present study evaluated the quality of these MAs through a methodological systematic review. Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library from inception until May 20, 2022, and PubMed was used to update the search until September 6, 2023. The methodological and reporting quality of the selected MAs was evaluated using AMSTAR-2 and PRISMA 2009. Fifty-one MAs published during 2013-2023 were included. In each review, the number of primary studies ranged from 3 to 37, and the number of participants ranged from 50 to 2114. Among the first-listed primary outcomes, only 23 (45.10%) were "positive." As for the methodological quality, most MAs (44, 86.27%) on resveratrol were rated critically low. Inadequate reporting of the included MAs mainly involved items 2 ("Structured summary"), 5 ("Protocol and registration"), 8 ("Search"), 9 ("Study selection"), 10 ("Data collection process"), 12 ("Risk of bias in individual studies"), and 24 ("Summary of evidence") based on the PRISMA 2009. Additionally, journal's impact factor, number of authors, and funding support were positively associated with the overall methodological quality but were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Future MAs on resveratrol require better design, implementation, and reporting by following the Cochrane Handbook, AMSTAR-2, and PRISMA.

[PMID: 37924446 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-023-08832-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to its remarkable efficacy in producing hematologic, cytogenetic, and molecular remissions, the FDA approved Imatinib as the first-line treatment for newly diagnosed Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) patients. However, in some patients, failure to completely eradicate leukemic cells and the escape of these cells from death will lead to the development of resistance to Imatinib, and many are concerned about the prospects of this Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI). It has been documented that the compensatory overexpression of c-Myc is among the most critical mechanisms that promote drug efflux and resistance in CML stem cells. METHODS In order to examine the potential of c-Myc inhibition through the use of 10058-F4 to enhance the anti-leukemic properties of Imatinib, we conducted trypan blue and MTT assays. Additionally, we employed flow cytometric analysis and qRT-PCR to assess the effects of this combination on cell cycle progression and apoptosis. RESULTS The findings of our study indicate that the combination of 10058-F4 and Imatinib exhibited significantly stronger anti-survival and anti-proliferative effects on CML-derived-K562 cells in comparison to either agent administered alone. It is noteworthy that these results were also validated in the CML-derived NALM-1 cell line. Molecular analysis of this synergistic effect revealed that the inhibition of c-Myc augmented the efficacy of Imatinib by modulating the expression of genes related to cell cycle, apoptosis, autophagy, and proteasome. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, the findings of this investigation have demonstrated that the suppression of the c-Myc oncoprotein through the use of 10058-F4 has augmented the effectiveness of Imatinib, suggesting that this amalgamation could offer a fresh perspective on an adjunctive treatment for individuals with CML. Nevertheless, additional scrutiny, encompassing in-vivo examinations and clinical trials, is requisite.

Abstract
One of the primary diseases that cause death worldwide is cancer. Cancer cells can be intrinsically resistant or acquire resistance to therapies and drugs used for cancer treatment through multiple mechanisms of action that favor cell survival and proliferation, becoming one of the leading causes of treatment failure against cancer. A promising strategy to overcome chemoresistance and radioresistance is the co-administration of anticancer agents and natural compounds with anticancer properties, such as the polyphenolic compound resveratrol (RSV). RSV has been reported to be able to sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents and radiotherapy, promoting cancer cell death. This review describes the reported molecular mechanisms by which RSV sensitizes tumor cells to radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RSV) (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a stilbene found in abundance in berry fruits, peanuts, and some medicinal plants. It has a diverse range of pharmacological activities, underlining the significance of illness prevention and health promotion. The purpose of this review was to delve deeper into RSV's bone-protective properties as well as its molecular mechanisms. Several in vivo studies have found the bone-protective effects of RSV in postmenopausal, senile, and disuse osteoporosis rat models. RSV has been shown to inhibit NF-κB and RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis, oxidative stress, and inflammation while increasing osteogenesis and boosting differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells to osteoblasts. Wnt/β-catenin, MAPKs/JNK/ERK, PI3K/AKT, FoxOs, microRNAs, and BMP2 are among the possible kinases and proteins involved in the underlying mechanisms. RSV has also been shown to be the most potent SIRT1 activator to cause stimulatory effects on osteoblasts and inhibitory effects on osteoclasts. RSV may, thus, represent a novel therapeutic strategy for increasing bone growth and reducing bone loss in the elderly and postmenopausal population.

Abstract
Resveratrol is a bioactive polyphenolic compound mainly present in grapes and red wine. It is known to exert beneficial effects in various experimental settings, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, and immunoregulatory. Accumulating evidence suggests these health benefits might be, at least partially, attributed to resveratrol's role in protecting the intestinal barrier, regulating the gut microbiome, and inhibiting intestinal inflammation. The purpose of this review is to examine the bioactivities of resveratrol in disease prevention and health promotion from the standpoint of regulating the gut microbiome. The article aims to provide additional insight into the potential applications of resveratrol in the food and nutraceutical industry.

Abstract
Depression and anxiety are severe public health problems and have attracted more and more attention from researchers of food science and nutrition. Dietary natural products and nutrients, such as fish, coffee, tea, n-3 PUFA, lycopene, and dietary fiber, could play a vital role in the prevention and management of these diseases. The potential mechanisms of action mainly include inhibiting inflammation, ameliorating oxidative stress, modulating the microbiota-gut-brain axis, suppressing hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis hyperactivity, and regulating the levels of monoamine neurotransmitters. In this narrative review, we summarize the most recent advancements regarding the effects of dietary natural products and nutrients on depression and anxiety, and their underlying mechanisms are discussed. We hope that this paper can provide a better understanding of the anti-depressive and anxiolytic action of dietary natural products, and that it is also helpful for developing dietary natural products for functional food, dietary supplements, or auxiliary agents for the prevention and management of these diseases.
