[PMID: 35204088 PMCID: PMC8868251 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11020205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Revised: 01/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disorder, and numerous pharmacological approaches are employed to reduce symptoms. Natural products of plant-derived materials have been accepted as complementary therapy for the treatment of a wide range of inflammatory diseases. Cynanchi atrati (CA) is an oriental medicinal herb used in the treatment of acute urinary infection, febrile diseases, and laryngopharyngitis. However, the role of CA root extract in skin inflammation such as AD has not been explored yet. In this study, we examined the possible effect of CA root extract on skin inflammation and evaluated the underlying signaling mechanism using in vitro and in vivo modeling systems. Raw264.7 macrophages were used for in vitro experiments, and an oxazolone-induced AD mouse model was used to evaluate in vivo effects. CA extract significantly inhibited the expression levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in RAW264.7 macrophages. The CA root extract mediated suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and was associated with the decreased nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) gene transcriptional activation. Moreover, CA root extract attenuated the in vivo expression of IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and ear swelling in the AD mouse models. We also observed that the inhibitory effect of CA root extract on skin inflammation was accompanied by the upregulation of calcineurin 1 (RCAN1) expression, which functions in the inflammatory pathways by suppressing NF-κB signaling. We consistently observed that the immunosuppressive effect of CA root extract in AD was significantly perturbed in the RCAN1 knockout mice. In addition, we isolated a phenolic acid compound, sinapic acid (SA), from the CA root extract and found that SA consistently exerted an immunosuppressive effect in RAW264.7 macrophages by inducing RCAN1 expression. Our results provide the first evidence that CA root extract and its phenolic acid constituent, SA, modulate NF-κB signaling pathways by inducing RCAN1 expression in the skin inflammation process. Thus, we suggest that CA root extract has a therapeutic value for the treatment of AD by targeting endogenous immune regulators.

Singh HP, Singh TG, Singh R. Sinapic acid attenuates cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma agonism in rats. JOURNAL OF PHARMACY AND BIOALLIED SCIENCES 2020; 12:146-154. [PMID: 32742113 PMCID: PMC7373114 DOI: 10.4103/jpbs.jpbs_220_19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2019] [Revised: 11/21/2019] [Accepted: 01/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) in renal protection offered by sinapic acid in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in male rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nephrotoxicity was induced by single dose of cisplatin (5 mg/kg, intraperitoneal [i.p.]) in rats. Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity was assessed by measuring serum creatinine, creatinine clearance, urea, uric acid, potassium, magnesium levels, fractional excretion of sodium, and microproteinuria in rats. Superoxide anion generation, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, myeloperoxidase activity, and reduced glutathione levels were measured to assess oxidative stress in renal tissues. Hematoxylin and eosin stain showed renal histological changes. RESULTS The significant changes in serum and urinary parameters, elevated oxidative stress, and renal histological changes established the induction of nephrotoxicity. Sinapic acid treatment (20 and 40 mg/kg, orally [p.o.]) provides dose-dependent and significant (P < 0.05) nephroprotection against cisplatin-mediated nephrotoxicity in rats. Nephroprotective effect of sinapic acid was abolished by PPAR-γ inhibitor, bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (30 mg/kg, i.p.) in rats. CONCLUSION It is concluded that PPAR-γ agonism serves as one of the mechanisms in sinapic acid-mediated renoprotection.

Abstract
Phenylpropanoids and their derivatives are plant secondary metabolites widely present in fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, beverages, spices and herbs. They are known to have multifaceted effects which include antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, anticancer activities and as well as exhibits renoprotective, neuroprotective, cardioprotective and hepatoprotective effects. Owing to their antioxidant, antimicrobial and photoprotective properties, these compounds have wide application in the food (preservation, packaging films and edible coating), pharmaceutical, cosmetic and other industries such as textile (colorant), biofuel (antioxidant additive) and sensors (sensing biologically relevant molecules). Phenylpropanoids are present in commercially available dietary supplements and skin care products. In this review, we have presented the current knowledge on the biosynthesis, occurrence, biological activities of phenylpropanoids and their derivatives, along with the mechanism of action and their potential applications in various industries.

Abstract
The anti-inflammatory effect of sinapic acid (SA) has been reported in several studies. However, whether SA has the same effect on osteoarthritis (OA) has yet to be clearly elucidated. We designed a series of in vitro and in vivo procedures to verify the above conjecture. Compared with controls, SA-pretreated human chondrocytes showed lower levels of interleukin (IL)-1β-induced IL-6, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), nitric oxide (NO) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in vitro. Meanwhile, SA could also reverse the degradation of type II collage and aggrecan, as well as the overproduction of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS)-5. Furthermore, activation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), which was induced by IL-1β, was also inhibited by SA through the pathway of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase 1. In vivo, SA could delay the progress of mice OA models. We propose that SA may be applied as a potential therapeutic drug in OA treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity is related to increased reactive oxygen species and inflammatory cytokines in the kidney. Sinapic acid (SA) has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. AIMS We determined the effects of SA on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats, and the potential mechanisms by which it augments antioxidant responses and attenuates nephrotoxicity related to oxidative/nitrosative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation. METHODS Kidney function markers (i.e., serum urea, uric acid, creatinine, and lactate dehydrogenase), oxidative stress markers (i.e., lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide), antioxidant systems (i.e., superoxide dismutase, catalase, and reduced glutathione), inflammation markers (i.e., tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α], interleukin-6 [IL-6], and myeloperoxidase [MPO]), apoptotic markers (caspase 3, Bax, and Bcl-2), and the levels of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB [p65]), Nrf2, and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) were assessed. Histopathological examinations of the kidney were also used to evaluate cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. KEY FINDINGS SA (10 and 20mg/kg) pretreatment ameliorated kidney function, upregulated antioxidant levels, and downregulated lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide levels in cisplatin-injected rats, resulting in significant reductions in oxidative stress and replenishment of endogenous antioxidant enzymes. Cisplatin upregulated cytokines (i.e., TNF-α and IL-6) and MPO, increased apoptosis, and downregulated Nrf2 and HO-1. SA pretreatment downregulated the pro-apoptotic caspase-3 and Bax proteins, and upregulated the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein. SA pretreatment also alleviated the extent of histological impairment and reduced neutrophil infiltration in renal tubules. SIGNIFICANCE The results suggest that the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway may be the primary target for protection from cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity by SA, and that SA reduces oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis by inhibiting NF-κB.

Abstract
Tylosema esculentum (morama) is a highly valued traditional food and source of medicine for the San and other indigenous populations that inhabit the arid to semi-arid parts of Southern Africa. Morama beans are a rich source of phenolic acids, flavonoids, certain fatty acids, non-essential amino acids, certain phytosterols, tannins and minerals. The plant's tuber contains griffonilide, behenic acid and starch. Concoctions of extracts from morama bean, tuber and other local plants are frequently used to treat diarrhoea and digestive disorders by the San and other indigenous populations. Information on composition and bioactivity of phytochemical components of T. esculentum suggests that the polyphenol-rich extracts of the bean testae and cotyledons have great potential as sources of chemicals that inhibit infectious microorganisms (viral, bacterial and fungal, including drug-resistant strains), offer protection against certain non-communicable diseases and promote wound healing and gut health. The potential antinutritional properties of a few morama components are also highlighted. More research is necessary to reveal the full prophylactic and therapeutic potential of the plant against diseases of the current century. Research on domestication and conservation of the plant offers new hope for sustainable utilisation of the plant.
