Amirzadeh N, Moghadam A, Niazi A, Afsharifar A. Recombinant anti-HIV MAP30, a ribosome inactivating protein: against plant virus and bacteriophage. Sci Rep 2023; 13:2091. [PMID: 36747030 PMCID: PMC9902390 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-29365-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) efficiently decrease the microbial infections in plants. Momordica charantia MAP30 is a type I RIP that has not been investigated against plant viruses or bacteriophages. To evaluate of these activities, the recombinant MAP30 (rMAP30) was produced in the hairy roots of Nicotiana tabacum. Inoculation of 3 μg of transgenic total protein or 0.6 μg of rMAP30 against 0.1 μg of TMV reduced the leaf necrotic spots to 78.23% and 82.72%, respectively. The treatment of 0.1 μg of CMV with rMAP30 (0.6 μg) showed the reduction in the leaf necrotic spots to 85.8%. While the infection was increased after rMAP30 dilution. In the time interval assays, the leaves were first inoculated with 1 μg of rMAP30 or 0.1 μg of purified TMV or CMV agent for 6 h, then virus or protein was applied in order. This led the spot reduction to 35.22% and 67% for TMV, and 38.61% and 55.31% for CMV, respectively. In both the pre- and co-treatments of 1:10 or 1:20 diluted bacteriophage with 15 μg of transgenic total protein, the number and diameter of the plaques were reduced. The results showed that the highest inhibitory effect was observed in the pre-treatment assay of bacteriophage with transgenic total protein for 24 h. The decrease in the growth of bacteriophage caused more growth pattern of Escherichia coli. The results confirm that rMAP30 shows antibacterial activity against Streptococcus aureus and E. coli, antifungal activity against Candida albicans, and antiviral activity against CMV and TMV. Moreover, rMAP30 exhibits anti-phage activity for the first time. According to our findings, rMAP30 might be a valuable preservative agent in foods and beverages in the food industry as well as an antiviral and antimicrobial mixture in agriculture.

Abstract
Momordica charantia L. (M. charantia) is an annual climbing herb in Cucurbitaceae. As a medicinal and edible homologous plant, it has a long history of application. This study aims to isolate and identify the chemical constituents from M. charantia and evaluate their prevention effect on hydrocortisone-induced injury in HMEC-1 cells. 10 kg of M. charantia was extracted with 95% ethanol for three times and partitioned with petroleum ether, dichloromethane and n-butanol. The dichloromethane part was performed by silica, ODS silica, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC to obtain two new compounds. The prevention effect on hydrocortisone-induced injury in HMEC-1 cells of these two compounds was determined by the method of CCK-8. The cell viability of HMEC-1 cells treated with 2 (25 μM) was 85.85% ± 4.39%. The results indicated that 2 exhibited significantly prevention effect on hydrocortisone-induced injury in HMEC-1 cells but 1 exhibited no this activity in vitro.

Cultivars under Karaj Conditions in Iran. PLANTS 2021; 10:plants10071370. [PMID: 34371573 PMCID: PMC8309235 DOI: 10.3390/plants10071370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2021] [Revised: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 06/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Vegetative and reproductive characteristics, fruit yield, and biochemical compounds of six bitter melon cultivars (Iranshahr, Mestisa, No. 486, Local Japanese, Isfahan, and Ilocano) were evaluated under Karaj conditions in Iran. The phytochemical properties of the cultivars were evaluated using both shade-dried and freeze-dried samples at three fruit developmental stages (unripe, semi-ripe, and ripe). There were significant differences in the vegetative and reproductive characteristics among cultivars, where cv. No. 486 was superior to most vegetative attributes. The fruit yield of cultivars varied from 2.98–5.22 kg/plant. The number of days to male and female flower appearance ranged from 19.00–25.33 and from 25–33 days, respectively. The leaf charantin content was in the range of 4.83–11.08 μg/g. Fruit charantin content varied with developmental stage, drying method, and cultivar. The highest charantin content (13.84 ± 3.55 µg/g) was observed at the semi-ripe fruit stage, and it was much higher in the freeze-dried samples than the shade-dried samples. Cultivar No. 486 had the highest (15.43 ± 2.4 µg/g) charantin content, whereas the lowest charantin content (8.51 ± 1.15 µg/g) was recorded in cultivar cv. Local Japanese. The highest total phenol content (25.17 ± 2.27 mg GAE/g) was recorded in freeze-dried samples of ripe fruits of cv. No. 486, whereas the lowest phenol content was detected in the shade-dried samples of semi-ripe fruits of Isfahan. cv. Flavonoid content was higher with the shade-drying method, irrespective of cultivar. In conclusion, considering the fruit yield and active biological compounds in the studied cultivars, cv. No. 486 should be grown commercially because of its higher yield and production of other secondary metabolites.

Abstract
Momordica charantia is a medicinal plant which is widely used in different traditional medicinal systems to treat several diseases. We have identified the differential distribution of phytomedicinally important metabolites in the pericarp, skin and seeds of M. charantia fruit via NMR spectroscopy. Multivariate statistical analysis showed a clustering of the metabolic profiles of seeds and pericarp, and their clear separation from the metabolic profile of the skin. The total phenolic and flavonoid content of the fruit extracts were estimated via bioassays, the radical scavenging activity was estimated via in vitro DPPH and ABTS assays and an inhibitory activity test of α-glucosidase was also performed. The pericarp and seeds contained significant amounts of phenolic compounds and flavonoids, indicating that they are a good source for antioxidants. The skin contained a significantly higher amount of phytosterols such as Charantin and momordicine, which are known to correlate with antidiabetic activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The elemental uptake and allocation patterns of crops create insight for nutrient management. Two-year field experiments were conducted to determine the growth and nitrogen (N) uptake patterns of bitter gourd and to evaluate different N management strategies. Two N practices during the nursery stage, namely the conventional fertilizer method (Scon) and the controlled-release fertilizer management method (Scrf), combined with three N management strategies after transplanting, namely zero N fertilizer application (Nno), the conventional strategy (Ncon) and the systematic N management strategy (Nopt), were assessed. RESULTS Averaged over two years, the Scrf-Nopt treatment performed best, producing 33.1 t ha-1 fruit yield with 310 kg N ha-1 , indicating that the yield was 22.6% greater by using 18.8% less fertilizer N than in the Scon-Ncon treatment. The Scrf-Nopt treatment facilitated plant growth by accumulating 20.0% more total dry weight and prioritized its allocation to productive organs (57.2%), while the Scon-Ncon strategy was biased toward leaves (56.3%) over fruits (43.8%). Nitrogen uptake and distribution closely followed the pattern of biomass. CONCLUSION The Scrf-Nopt fertilization strategy coordinated the important role that N plays in total accumulation and well proportion of biomass and N in bitter gourd developmental processes. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Plants have been used since ancient times as an important source of biologically active substances. The aim of the present study was to investigate the phytochemical constituents (flavonoids and phenolics), antioxidant potential, cytotoxicity against HepG2 (human hepato carcinoma) cancer cell lines, and the antimicrobial activity of the methanol extract of selected traditional medicinal plants collected from Mizoram, India. A number of phenolic compounds were detected using HPLC-DAD-ESI-TOF-MS, mainly Luteolin, Kaempferol, Myricetin, Gallic Acid, Quercetin and Rutin, some of which have been described for the first time in the selected plants. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents showed high variation ranging from 4.44 to 181.91 μg of Gallic Acid equivalent per milligram DW (GAE/mg DW) and 3.17 to 102.2 μg of Quercetin/mg, respectively. The antioxidant capacity was determined by DPPH (IC50 values ranges from 34.22 to 131.4 μg/mL), ABTS (IC50 values ranges from 24.08 to 513.4 μg/mL), and reducing power assays. Antimicrobial activity was assayed against gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus), gram negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and yeast (Candida albicans) demonstrating that the methanol extracts of some plants were efficacious antimicrobial agents. Additionally, cytotoxicity was assessed on human hepato carcinoma (HepG2) cancer cell lines and found that the extracts of Albizia lebbeck, Dillenia indica, and Bombax ceiba significantly decreased the cell viability at low concentrations with IC50 values of 24.03, 25.09, and 29.66 μg/mL, respectively. This is the first report of detection of phenolic compounds along with antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxic potential of selected medicinal plants from India, which indicates that these plants might be valuable source for human and animal health.
