[PMID: 37948027 DOI: 10.1007/s13105-023-00990-0] [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: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
We aimed to determine whether quercetin is capable of improving circadian rhythm and metabolism disorder under vitamin D-deficient condition. Middle-aged mice were randomly divided into four groups, namely, control (CON), vitamin D-deficient diet (VDD), quercetin (Q), and quercetin intervention in vitamin D-deficient diet (VDQ), with a total of 12 weeks' intervention. Mice were sacrificed at zeitgeber time1 (ZT1) and ZT13 time points. At ZT1, circadian locomotor output cycle kaput (CLOCK) protein expression from VDD, Q, and VDQ groups; CRY1 from Q group; and CRY2 from VDD group were significantly lower compared to CON group. The mRNA expression of Sirt1, Bmal1, Clock, Cry1, and Cry2 in VDQ groups, also Bmal1, Clock, and Cry1 from Q group, were significantly decreased compared to CON group. At ZT13, compared to CON group, fasting insulin and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were higher in VDD group; BMAL1 was significantly increased, while CLOCK and CRY1 protein were significantly decreased from VDD group; CLOCK protein from VDQ group was significantly higher compared to CON, VDD, and Q groups, and also, BMAL1 protein expression from VDQ group was elevated compared to CON group. The mRNA expression of Bmal1, Clock, Per2, Cry1, and Cry2 in VDQ groups were significantly increased compared to CON groups. The mRNA expression of Bmal1 from VDQ group was decreased compared to both VDD and Q group. In conclusion, vitamin D-deficient diet resulted in a disordered liver circadian rhythm, and quercetin improved the hepatic circadian desynchronization. Quercetin supplementation might be effective for balancing circadian rhythm under vitamin D-deficient condition.

Abstract
Drosophila melanogaster is a valuable model organism for a wide range of biological exploration. The well-known advantages of D. melanogaster include its relatively simple biology, the ease with which it is genetically modified, the relatively low financial and time costs associated with their short gestation and life cycles, and the large number of offspring they produce per generation. D. melanogaster has facilitated the discovery of many significant insights into the pathology of Parkinson's disease (PD) and has served as an excellent preclinical model of PD-related therapeutic discovery. In this review, we provide an overview of the major D. melanogaster models of PD, each of which provide unique insights into PD-relevant pathology and therapeutic targets. These models are discussed in the context of their past, current, and future potential use for studying the utility of secondary metabolites as therapeutic agents in PD. Over the last decade, senolytics have garnered an exponential interest in their ability to mitigate a broad spectrum of diseases, including PD. Therefore, an emphasis is placed on the senolytic and senomorphic properties of secondary metabolites. It is expected that D. melanogaster will continue to be critical in the effort to understand and improve treatment of PD, including their involvement in translational studies focused on secondary metabolites.

Anti-obesity effects of Erythrina abyssinica stem bark extract in flies exposed to a high fat diet. Heliyon 2022; 8:e09886. [PMID: 35847607 PMCID: PMC9284455 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2022.e09886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Revised: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 07/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background An in vitro assay on Sigmoidin A from Erythrina abyssinica stem bark revealed its potency to inhibit pancreatic lipase. However, studies indicate activity of extract bioactive compounds in combination far exceed the favorable effects of each individual compound due to synergy and additive effects. In this study, we provide information on the effect of E. abyssinica stem bark extract in Drosophila melanogaster. The objective of the study was to determine the safety and effects of E. abyssinica stem bark extract on fly survival, body weight, triglycerides, sterol, total protein, and catalase activity of obese male D. melanogaster. Methods Obesity was induced by exposing D. melanogaster white mutant w1118 to coconut food for two weeks. Groups 1–3 were fed on coconut food + fenofibrate at 25 mM, 50 mM, and 75 mM. Groups 4–6 were fed on coconut food + E. abyssinica stem bark extract at concentrations of 2.5 g/ml, 5.0 g/ml, and 7.5 g/ml. The positive control was exposed to only coconut food while the negative control was on regular food. Fly survival observations were done for 15 days, while acute and chronic effects were done at 30 min and after 48 h respectively following treatment. Body mass, negative geotaxis, reducing power of the extract, triglycerides (TG/TP), sterol, total protein levels, and catalase activity were measured after 10 days of exposure to the experimental diets. Results Fly survival changes were observed after 10 days and E. abyssinica stem bark extract had the strongest reducing power at 7.5 g/ml extract concentration. E. abyssinica stem bark extract reduced body mass, triglyceride levels (TG/TP), sterol levels, and modulated catalase activity at 7.5 g/ml extract concentration. Though the standard drug fenofibrate had the highest fat accumulation reduction potential, the extract at 7.5 g/ml was much safer in reducing fat accumulation in obese male D. melanogaster than other concentration used. Conclusion Antioxidants in E. abyssinica stem bark extract are responsible for the observed anti-obesity activity.

J Food Biochem 2022; 46:e14169. [PMID: 35383968 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.14169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2022] [Revised: 03/05/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
HE is a natural extract with strong antioxidant capacity. Drosophila melanogaster was used to explore HE could delay aging in this study. We detected that 3 mg/ml HE could increase stress tolerance (heat, cold, starvation, oxidative stress), reduce intestinal dysfunction, and prolong the lifespan of D. melanogaster. Network pharmacology analysis showed HE could act through the PI3K-Akt pathway. Meanwhile, HE intervention inhibited the gene expression of InR, PI3K, and Akt-1, and further increased the gene expression of Atg1, Atg5, Atg8a, and Atg8b. Furthermore, HE inhibited the unnatural propagation of ISCs and increased the number of lysosomes. Supplement with HE may be an effective intervention for aging D. melanogaster. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: In recent years, diseases that come with aging have seriously affected people's healthy life. Hawthorn is a kind of nutrient-rich substance that is rich in flavonoids and thus has many potential biological and pharmacological functions. Our results showed that HE has good antioxidant properties and can maintain intestinal homeostasis, which provides a good theoretical basis for the development and research using HE as an effective natural antioxidant for the elderly.

Abstract
Hemerocallis citrina Baroni (HC) is an edible plant in Asia, and it has been traditionally used for sleep-improvement. However, the bioactive components and mechanism of HC in sleep-improvement are still unclear. In this study, the sleep-improvement effect of HC hydroalcoholic extract was investigated based on a caffeine-induced insomnia model in Drosophila melanogaster (D. melanogaster), and the ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-Orbitrap-MS) and network pharmacology strategy were further combined to screen systematically the active constituents and mechanism of HC in sleep-improvement. The results suggested HC effectively regulated the number of nighttime activities and total sleep time of D. melanogaster in a dose-dependent manner and positively regulated the sleep bouts and sleep duration of D. melanogaster. The target screening suggested that quercetin, luteolin, kaempferol, caffeic acid, and nicotinic acid were the main bioactive components of HC in sleep-improvements. Moreover, the core targets (Akt1, Cat, Ple, and Sod) affected by HC were verified by the expression of the mRNA of D. melanogaster. In summary, this study showed that HC could effectively regulate the sleep of D. melanogaster and further clarifies the multi-component and multi-target features of HC in sleep-improvement, which provides a new insight for the research and utilization of HC.

Abstract
Dietary supplementation with antioxidants provides health benefits by preventing diseases caused by oxidative stress and damage. Consequently, there has been growing interest in the study of antioxidative foods and their active ingredients. Oxidative stress and antioxidative responses are mechanistically conserved from Drosophila to mammals. Therefore, as a well-established model organism with a short life cycle and advantages of genetic manipulation, the fruit fly has been increasingly employed to assess functions of antioxidants in vivo. In this review, the antioxidative defense mechanisms, methods used and assays developed in Drosophila to evaluate antioxidant supplementation, are highlighted. The main manifestations of antioxidation include reduction of reactive species, up-regulation of endogenous antioxidants, inhibition on oxidative damage to biomacromolecules, enhanced resistance against oxidative stress and extension of lifespan, which are related to the activations of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2-antioxidant response element pathway and other adaptive responses. Moreover, the key considerations and future perspectives for the application of Drosophila models in the studies of food-derived antioxidants are discussed.

Abstract
The circadian clock regulates vital aspects of physiology including protein synthesis and oxidative stress response. In this investigation, we performed a proteome-wide scrutiny of rhythmic protein accrual in Drosophila melanogaster on exposure to rotenone, rotenone + hesperidin and hesperidin in D. melanogaster. Total protein from fly samples collected at 6 h intervals over the 24 h period was subjected to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Bioinformatics tool, Protein ANalysis THrough Evolutionary Relationships classification system was used to the determine the biological processes of the proteins of altered abundance. Conspicuous variations in the proteome (151 proteins) of the flies exposed to oxidative stress (by rotenone treatment) and after alleviating oxidative stress (by hesperidin treatment) were observed during the 24 h cycle. Significantly altered levels of abundance of a wide variety of proteins under oxidative stress (rotenone treatment) and under alleviation of oxidative stress (rotenone + hesperidin treatment) and hesperidin (alone) treatment were observed. These proteins are involved in metabolism, muscle activity, heat shock response, redox homeostasis, protein synthesis/folding/degradation, development, ion-channel/cellular transport, and gustatory and olfactory function of the flies. Our data indicates that numerous cellular processes are involved in the temporal regulation of proteins and widespread modulations happen under rotenone treatment and, action of hesperidin could also be seen on these categories of proteins.

Effect of an Intracerebroventricular Injection of Aggregated Beta-amyloid (1-42) on Daily Rhythms of Oxidative Stress Parameters in the Prefrontal Cortex. Neuroscience 2020; 458:99-107. [PMID: 32827572 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2020.08.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2020] [Revised: 08/11/2020] [Accepted: 08/12/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Accumulation of amyloid peptides in the brain plays a key role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aggregated beta-amyloid (Aβ) peptide increases intracellular reactive oxygen species associated to a deficient antioxidant defense system. Prefrontal cortex plays a key role in memory and learning and is especially susceptible to oxidative stress. The objective of this work was to investigate the effects of an intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of Aβ (1-42) on 24 h patterns of oxidative stress parameters and antioxidant defenses in the rat prefrontal cortex. Four-month-old male Holtzman rats were divided into two groups defined as: control (CO) and Aβ-injected (Aβ). Rats were maintained under12 h-light:12 h-dark conditions and received water and food ad libitum. Tissues samples were isolated every 6 h during a 24 h period. Interestingly, we found that an i.c.v. injection of Aβ(1-42) increased lipid peroxidation, reduced total antioxidant capacity level, phase-shifted the daily peak of reduced glutathione, and had a differential effect on the oscillating catalase and glutathione peroxidase specific activity. Thus, elevated levels of Aβ aggregates-a pathogenic hallmark of AD, caused altered temporal patterns of the cellular redox state in prefrontal cortex rat. These findings might contribute, at least in part, to the understanding of the molecular and biochemical basis of redox changes caused by circadian rhythms alterations observed in AD patients.

Abstract
N-(2'-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-propylpentanamide (OH-VPA) is a valproic acid (VPA) derivative with improved antiproliferative activity toward breast cancer (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and SKBr3) and human cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa) compared to that of VPA. However, the pharmacological mechanism of OH-VPA activity remains unknown. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is an important enzyme that is highly expressed in tumor cells and has a subcellular localization that is dependent on its acetylation or oxidative state. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed changes in HMGB1 sub-cellular localization and reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as changes in HeLa cell viability in response to treatment with various concentrations of OH-VPA. This compound is formed by the covalent bond coupling VPA to a phenol group, which is capable of acting as a free radical scavenger due to its chemical similarities to quercetin. Our results show that OH-VPA induces nuclear to cytoplasmic translocation of HMGB1, as demonstrated by confocal microscopy observations and infrared spectra that revealed high quantities of acetylated HMGB1 in HeLa cells. Cells treated with 0.8 mM OH-VA exhibited decreased viability and increased ROS levels compared with the lower OH-VPA concentrations tested. Therefore, the antiproliferative mechanism of OH-VPA may be related to histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition, as is the case for VPA, which promotes high HMBG1 acetylation, which alters its subcellular localization. In addition, OH-VPA generates an imbalance in cellular ROS levels due to its biochemical activity.
