[PMID: 38754655 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132389] [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: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
Currently, evidence from observational studies suggests dietary fiber intake may be associated with decreased risk of food allergy. As a type of dietary fiber, resistant starch was also widely reported to possess anti-allergic properties. However, there is a relative paucity of studies assessing the influence of resistant starch types on their anti-allergic activity and its possible underlying mechanisms. In the current study, the anti-allergic effects of RS3-type (retrograded starch), RS4-type (chemically modified starch, cross-bonded), and RS5-type (starch-palmitic acid complex) of lotus seed resistant starch were evaluated in the OVA (100 mg/kg)-induced food allergic mice model. The results showed that oral administration of RS3 or RS4 lotus seed resistant starch (0.3 g/100 g b.w.) for 25 days significantly improved adverse symptoms of food allergy such as weight loss, increases in allergy symptom score and diarrhea rate; with significant reduction of serum specific antibody IgE, TNF-α, IL-4 levels and improved Th1/Th2 balance being observed. The mechanism may involve the regulation of lotus seed resistant starch on intestinal flora and the metabolites short-chain fatty acids and bile acids. Taken together, the findings may enhance understanding towards ameliorative effects of resistant starch on food allergy, and offer valuable insights for the exploration of novel anti-allergic bioactive compounds.

Abstract
PURPOSE Exercise helps modify the lipid profile in the body, partly through its impact on sterol regulatory element binding protein-1 (SREBP-1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ). Individual differences in response to exercise and genetic variations may influence the response to PA. Therefore, this study explored Rosae multiflorae fructus (RMF) as a supplement candidate that improves exercise capacity and controls non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by suppressing lipogenesis and controlling lipid peroxidation. METHODS RMF is a natural herbal medicine used in Dongui Bogam. RMF has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergic effects. However, the effects of RMF on NAFLD have not yet been investigated. In this study, we examined the effects of RMF in a mouse model of high-fat diet-induced NAFLD. Mouse livers were isolated and analyzed using H&E staining and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS RMF downregulated lipid peroxidation markers, such as CYP2E1, in the livers of mice with high-fat diet-induced NAFLD. Additionally, the RMF significantly reduced the lipid accumulation-related protein expression of CD36, SREBP-1, and PPAR-γ. CONCLUSION RMF exerts anti-lipid peroxidation and anti-lipogenic effects in a high-fat diet-induced NAFLD mouse model.

Abstract
More than 500 million people suffer from allergic rhinitis (AR) in the world. Current treatments include oral antihistamines and intranasal corticosteroids; however, they often cause side effects and are unsuitable for long-term exposure. Natural products could work as a feasible alternative, and this study aimed to review the efficacies and mechanisms of natural substances in AR therapies by examining previous literature. Fifty-seven studies were collected and classified into plants, fungi, and minerals decoction; clinical trials were organized separately. The majority of the natural products showed their efficacies by two mechanisms: anti-inflammation regulating diverse mediators and anti-oxidation controlling the activity of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFκB) pathway stimulated by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The main AR factors modified by natural products included interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-13, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), and phospho-ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2). Although further studies are required to verify their efficacies and safeties, natural products can significantly contribute to the treatment of AR.

Psoralen inhibits the inflammatory response and mucus production in allergic rhinitis by inhibiting the activator protein 1 pathway and the downstream expression of cystatin‑SN.

Abstract
Psoralen (PSO) exerts anti-inflammatory pharmacological effects and plays an important role in a variety of inflammatory diseases. However, the effects of PSO with allergic rhinitis (AR) are yet to be reported. In the present study, an in vitro AR model was generated by inducing JME/CF15 human nasal epithelial cells with IL-13, after which MTT was used to assess the cytotoxicity of PSO. The expression levels of inflammatory cytokines (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and Eotaxin) were determined by ELISA. Furthermore, the expression of inflammatory IL-6 and −8, as well as mucin 5AC, was assessed by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting, and cellular reactive oxygen species were detected using a 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate fluorescent probe. Western blotting was also used to detect the expression and phosphorylation of c-Fos and c-Jun in the activator protein 1 (AP-1) pathway, as well as the expression of cystatin-SN (CST1). PSO inhibited the inflammatory response and mucus production in IL-13-induced JME/CF15 cells. Furthermore, the levels of c-Fos and c-Jun phosphorylation in the AP-1 pathway were decreased in IL-13-induced JME/CF15 cells following PSO treatment. The expression of pathway proteins was activated by the addition of PMA, an AP-1 pathway activator, which concurrently reversed the inhibitory effects of PSO on the inflammatory response and mucus formation. The addition of an AP-1 inhibitor (SP600125) further inhibited pathway activity, and IL-13-induced inflammation and mucus formation was restored. In conclusion, PSO regulates the expression of CST1 by inhibiting the AP-1 pathway, thus suppressing the IL-13-induced inflammatory response and mucus production in nasal mucosal epithelial cells.

Abstract
Allergic diseases, including atopic dermatitis (AD), induce type 2 helper T (Th2) cell-dominant immune responses. Miquelianin (quercetin 3-O-glucuronide, MQL) is an active compound in Rosae multiflorae fructus extract with anti-allergic properties. Here, we investigate the anti-allergic effects of MQL in an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced Th2-dominant mouse model and the associated mechanisms. Oral MQL suppressed cytokine and IL-2 production and proliferation of Th2 cells and upregulated heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in splenocytes. Ex vivo MQL suppressed Th1- and Th2-related immune responses by inhibiting CD4+ T cell proliferation, and upregulated HO-1 in CD4+ T cells by activating C-Raf-ERK1/2-Nrf2 pathway via induction of reactive oxygen species generation. In a trimellitic anhydride-induced AD-like mouse model, both topical and oral MQL ameliorated AD symptoms by suppressing Th2 immune responses. Our results suggest that MQL is a potential therapeutic agent for CD4+ T cell-mediated diseases, including allergic diseases.

Abstract
Allergic disorders, including atopic dermatitis (AD), are closely linked to the activation of type 2 helper T (Th2) cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of using Rosae multiflorae fructus extract (RMFE) for AD treatment in the AD-like mouse model induced by treatment with trimellitic anhydride (TMA). Oral treatment of RMFE reduced the increase in ear thickness and suppressed inflammatory cytokine expression (interleukin [IL]-1β and tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α) and Th2-associated immune responses (immunoglobulin [Ig] E and IL-4) in mouse ears. Furthermore, messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, in draining lymph nodes were decreased by RMFE. Furthermore, we found that RMFE increased the level of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) through ERK and p38 pathways, reducing IL-2 production and CD4+ T cell proliferation, and inhibited STAT6 phosphorylation. Therefore, this study suggested that RMFE could be an effective treatment of AD induced by Th2-mediated immune responses by suppressing proliferation of CD4+ T cells via increased HO-1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asthma is one of the most common chronic inflammatory conditions of the lungs in modern society. Asthma is associated with airway hyperresponsiveness and remodeling of the airways, with typical symptoms of cough, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness. Interleukins (IL) play an integral role in its inflammatory pathogenesis. Medicinal herbs and secondary metabolites are gaining considerable attention due to their potential therapeutic role and pharmacological mechanisms as adjunct tools to synthetic bronchodilator drugs. PURPOSE To systematically review the literature on the use of single or mixed plants extracts therapy in vivo experimental systems for asthma, emphasizing their regulations on IL production to improve lung. METHODS Literature searches were performed on PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus and Web of Science databases. All articles in English were extracted from 1999 up to September 2019, assessed critically for data extraction. Studies investigating the effectiveness and safety of plant extracts administered; inflammatory cell count, immunoglobulin E (IgE) production and regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine and T helper (Th) 1 and Th2-driven cytokine expression in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung of asthmatic animals were included. RESULTS Four hundred and eighteen publications were identified and 51 met the inclusion criteria. Twenty-six studies described bioactive compounds from plant extracts. The most frequent immunopharmacological mechanisms described included reduction in IgE and eosinophilic recruitment, decreased mucus hypersecretion and airway hyperreactivity, enhancement of the balance of Th1/Th2 cytokine ratio, suppression of matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) and reversal of structural alterations. CONCLUSION Plant extract therapies have potential control activities on asthma symptoms by modulating the secretion of pro-inflammatory (IL-1β, IL-8), Th17 (IL-17), anti-inflammatory (IL-10, IL-23, IL-31, IL-33), Th1 (IL-2, IL-12) and Th2 (IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13) cytokines, reducing the level of biomarkers of airway inflammation.

Abstract
Background Rosae Multiflorae fructus (RMF), known to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, has been used as a traditional remedy for inflammatory diseases such as arthritis in Eastern Asia. However, its effect on osteoclasts, which play a crucial role in resorptive inflammatory bone diseases, is yet to be elucidated. Methods The effect of extract of RMF (RMF-E) on receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-mediated osteoclastogenesis was examined by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. In addition, RANKL-induced Ca2+-oscillation was also investigated. Results RMF-E remarkably inhibited TRAP+-osteoclast and resorptive pit formation in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, the expression of c-Fos and nuclear factor of activated T-cells cytoplasmic, known as pivotal transcription factors for osteoclast formation in vitro and in vivo, and that of the osteoclast differentiation markers such as Acp5, Oscar, CtsK, Atp6v0d2, Tm7sf4, and Nfatc1 were significantly decreased by RMF-E treatment during osteoclastogenesis. The inhibitory effect of RMF-E on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis was caused by the suppression of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activation, and RANKL-induced Ca2+-oscillation removal via inactivation of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), and subsequently phospholipase C-γ2. Conclusions RMF-E negatively regulates osteoclast differentiation and formation. These findings suggest the possibility of RMF-E as a traditional therapeutic agent against osteoclast-related bone disorders such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and periodontitis.

Abstract
Asthma is a common allergic airway inflammatory disease, characterized by abnormal breathing due to bronchial inflammation. Asthma aggravates the patient's quality of life and needs continuous pharmacological treatment. Therefore, discovery of drugs for the treatment of asthma is an important area of human health. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether Cynanchum atratum extract (CAE) modulates the asthma-like allergic airway inflammation and to study its possible mechanism of action using ovalbumin (OVA)-induced airway inflammation and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice, as well as a mast cell-based in vitro model. The histological analysis showed that CAE reduced the airway constriction and immune cell infiltration. CAE also inhibited release of β-hexosaminidase and expression of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-4, and IL-5 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung tissues. In addition, CAE reduced the OVA-specific immunoglobulin (Ig) E, total IgE, IgG1, and IgG2a levels in the serum. In the LPS-induced ALI model, CAE suppressed the LPS-induced lung barrier dysfunction and the release of proinflammatory cytokines. Because allergic airway inflammatory responses are associated with the activation of mast cells, RBL-2H3 cells were used to evaluate the underlying mechanism of CAE effects. In RBL-2H3 cells, CAE down-regulated release of β-hexosaminidase and histamine by reducing the intracellular calcium influx. In addition, CAE suppressed the expression of proinflammatory cytokines by inhibiting nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-κB. Taken together, our findings suggest that CAE may help in the prevention or treatment of airway inflammatory diseases.

Jung SY, See HJ, Kwon DA, Choi DW, Lee SY, Shon DH, Shin HS. Silkworm dropping extract regulates food allergy symptoms via inhibition of Th2-related responses in an ovalbumin-induced food allergy model. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2019; 99:7008-7015. [PMID: 31435932 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.9993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2018] [Revised: 03/04/2019] [Accepted: 08/16/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Silkworm droppings have long been used in traditional medicine to remedy allergic itching, palsy, blood circulation problems, and arthritis in Asian countries. To investigate the anti-allergic effect of silkworm dropping extract (SDE) and its mechanism, we used a mouse model of food allergy induced by ovalbumin (OVA). RESULTS SDE ameliorated the symptoms of OVA-induced food allergies, and the levels of T helper 2 (Th2)-related cytokines [such as interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-10, and IL-13] were found to be significantly decreased in both the spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes by SDE. Furthermore, SDE treatment directly inhibited OVA permeation, IL-4 production, and degranulation of mast cells; in contrast, immunoglobulin E (IgE) production from B cells was not affected. CONCLUSION These results suggest that SDE has potential anti-allergic activities, and SDE may be useful in the treatment/prevention of allergic disorders such as food allergies, serving as therapeutic agents. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Rosae multiflorae fructus extract and its four active components alleviate ovalbumin-induced allergic inflammatory responses via regulation of Th1/Th2 imbalance in BALB/c rhinitis mice. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2019; 55:238-248. [PMID: 30668435 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2018.06.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2018] [Revised: 05/29/2018] [Accepted: 06/19/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rosae Multiflorae fructus has potent antioxidative, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties. PURPOSE We investigated the immunomodulatory effect of Rosae Multiflorae fructus extract (RMFE) on allergic inflammation in an allergic rhinitis (AR) mouse model. METHODS Mice were sensitized and intranasally challenged with ovalbumin (OVA), the Th1/Th2-related cytokines and histopathology were examinated after RMFE treatments. Primary cell culture from spleen and NALT was performed to evaluate RMFE effect on Th1/Th2 responses. Four active components of RMFE were determined using HPLC and then tested the inhibition on Th2 response. RESULTS Oral administration of RMFE inhibited the accumulation of eosinophils in nasal lavage fluid (NALF) and the nasal mucosa, goblet cells in the nasal epithelium, and mast cells in the respiratory region of the nasal cavity. Thus, the swelling of the nasal epithelium, nasal-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT), and lung tissue were ameliorated. Furthermore, the RMFE suppressed Th2-related cytokines, such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 in NALF, NALT, and splenocytes, whereas the Th1-associated cytokine IL-12 was up-regulated by RMFE. We also revealed the active components of RMFE, such as ellagic acid, hyperoside, isoquercitrin, and miquelianin. They may inhibit IL-4 secretion in allergic responses. CONCLUSION RMFE may have therapeutic potential for treating AR by modulating the relationships between Th1/Th2 responses.

Short-term in vitro culture of purity and highly functional rat bone marrow-derived mast cells. In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim 2018; 54:705-714. [PMID: 30341632 DOI: 10.1007/s11626-018-0301-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2018] [Accepted: 10/03/2018] [Indexed: 10/28/2022]
Abstract
Mast cells (MCs) are responsible for the innate immune response. Rat MCs are more suitable than mouse MCs as models of specific parasite infection processes and ovalbumin-induced asthma. Rat peritoneum-derived MCs and RBL-2H3 cells (an MC cell line) are widely used in disease studies. However, the application of rat bone marrow-derived MCs (BMMCs) are poorly documented in terms of the methodology of rat BMMC isolation. Here, we describe a relatively rapid, efficient, and simple method for the cultivation of rat BMMCs. As compared to previous protocols, rat BMMCs produced with the proposed protocol exhibited advantages in differentiation, proliferation, lifespan, and functionality, which should prove useful for studies of mucosal MC diseases in specific rat models.
