Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is a notable contributor to kidney injury, but effective prevention and treatment options are limited. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of xanthohumol (XN), a kind of flavonoid, on renal IRI and its pathological process in rats. Rats and HK-2 cells were divided into five groups: Sham (control), IR [hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR)], IR (HR) + XN, IR (HR) + erastin or IR (HR) + XN + erastin. The effects of XN and erastin (a ferroptosis inducer) on IRI in rats were evaluated using blood urea nitrogen, plasma creatinine, glutathione, superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde kits, western blotting, cell viability assay, hematoxylin and eosin staining and reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection. Nrf2 small interfering (si)RNA was used to investigate the role of the Nrf2/heme oxygenase (HO)-1 axis in XN-mediated protection against HR injury. Cell viability, ROS levels and expression of ferroptosis-related proteins were analyzed. Following IR, renal function of rats was severely impaired and oxidative stress and ferroptosis levels significantly increased. However, XN treatment decreased renal injury and inhibited oxidative stress and ferroptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells. Additionally, XN upregulated the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and Nrf2-siRNA reversed the renoprotective effect of XN. XN effectively decreased renal IRI by inhibiting ferroptosis and oxidative stress and its protective mechanism may be associated with the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

World J Gastroenterol 2023; 29:5226-5239. [PMID: 37901446 PMCID: PMC10600958 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v29.i36.5226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 08/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Restoration of immune homeostasis by targeting the balance between memory T helper (mTh) cells and memory follicular T helper (mTfh) cells is a potential therapeutic strategy against ulcerative colitis (UC). Because of its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, curcumin (Cur) is a promising drug for UC treatment. However, fewer studies have demonstrated whether Cur can modulate the mTh/mTfh subset balance in mice with colitis. AIM To explore the potential mechanism underlying Cur-mediated alleviation of colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in mice by regulating the mTh and mTfh immune homeostasis. METHODS Balb/c mice were administered 3% and 2% DSS to establish the UC model and treated with Cur (200 mg/kg/d) by gavage on days 11-17. On the 18th d, all mice were anesthetized and euthanized, and the colonic length, colonic weight, and colonic weight index were evaluated. Histomorphological changes in the mouse colon were observed through hematoxylin-eosin staining. Levels of Th/mTh and Tfh/mTfh cell subsets in the spleen were detected through flow cytometry. Western blotting was performed to detect SOCS-1, SOCS-3, STAT3, p-STAT3, JAK1, p-JAK1, and NF-κB p65 protein expression levels in colon tissues. RESULTS Cur effectively mitigates DSS-induced colitis, facilitates the restoration of mouse weight and colonic length, and diminishes the colonic weight and colonic weight index. Simultaneously, it hinders ulcer development and inflammatory cell infiltration in the colonic mucous membrane. While the percentage of Th1, mTh1, Th7, mTh7, Th17, mTh17, Tfh1, mTfh1, Tfh7, mTfh7, Tfh17, and mTfh17 cells decreased after Cur treatment of the mice for 7 d, and the frequency of mTh10, Th10, mTfh10, and Tfh10 cells in the mouse spleen increased. Further studies revealed that Cur administration prominently decreased the SOCS-1, SOCS-3, STAT3, p-STAT3, JAK1, p-JAK1, and NF-κB p65 protein expression levels in the colon tissue. CONCLUSION Cur regulated the mTh/mTfh cell homeostasis to reduce DSS-induced colonic pathological damage, potentially by suppressing the JAK1/STAT3/SOCS signaling pathway.

Abstract
The ubiquitin-specific protease 14 (USP14) is a deubiquitinating enzyme, its inhibitor was reported could alleviate the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-stimulated cerebral neuronal damage. However, its specific role in I/R-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unclear. We established hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced HK-2 cell injury model in vitro and I/R-induced kidney injury mice model in vivo. The expression or activity of USP14 was inhibited by siRNA or IU1, a small molecule inhibitor of USP14. ROS were scavenged by N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC). Biochemical index analysis and hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining were performed to evaluate renal injury. The results indicated that USP14 was upregulated in H/R-induced HK-2 cells and kidney tissues of I/R mice. Inhibition of USP14 suppressed the cell death, inflammatory, oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent ferroptosis of H/R-induced HK-2 cells. What's more, IU1 and NAC effectively alleviated renal injury of I/R mice. In summary, this study suggested that inhibition of USP14 protected renal from I/R injury.

Curcumin intake during lactation suppresses oxidative stress through upregulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 in the kidneys of fructose-loaded female rat offspring exposed to maternal protein restriction. Birth Defects Res 2023; 115:674-686. [PMID: 36811147 DOI: 10.1002/bdr2.2158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 12/30/2022] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A high-fructose diet causes the progression of chronic kidney disease. Maternal malnutrition during pregnancy and lactation increases oxidative stress, leading to chronic renal diseases later in life. We investigated whether curcumin intake during lactation could suppress oxidative stress and regulate NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression in the kidneys of fructose-loaded female rat offspring exposed to maternal protein restriction. METHODS Pregnant Wistar rats received diets containing 20% (NP) or 8% (LP) casein and 0 or 2.5 g "highly absorptive curcumin" /kg diet containing-LP diets (LP/LP or LP/Cur) during lactation. At weaning, female offspring received either distilled water (W) or 10% fructose solution (Fr) and were divided into four groups: NP/NP/W, LP/LP/W, LP/LP/Fr, and LP/Cur/Fr. At week 13, glucose (Glc), triacylglycerol (Tg), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the plasma, macrophages number, fibrotic area, glutathione (GSH) levels, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, protein expression levels of Nrf2, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) in the kidneys were examined. RESULTS The plasma levels of Glc, TG, and MDA, the number of macrophages, and the percentage of fibrotic area in the kidneys of the LP/Cur/Fr group were significantly lower than those of the LP/LP/Fr group. The expression of Nrf2 and its downstream molecules HO-1 and SOD1, GSH levels, and GPx activity in the kidneys of the LP/Cur/Fr group were significantly higher than those of the LP/LP/Fr group. CONCLUSIONS Maternal curcumin intake during lactation may suppress oxidative stress by upregulating Nrf2 expression in the kidneys of fructose-loaded female offspring exposed to maternal protein restriction.

Theriogenology 2023; 197:46-56. [PMID: 36470109 DOI: 10.1016/j.theriogenology.2022.10.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2022] [Revised: 10/13/2022] [Accepted: 10/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
This study was aimed to investigate the effects of dietary curcumin supplementation on the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced testicular oxidative damage in breeder roosters. Thirty-two 20-week roosters were randomly divided into four groups: (1) basal diet (CON); (2) basal diet with H2O2 challenge (H2O2); (3) basal diet with 200 mg/kg curcumin (CUR); (4) basal diet with 200 mg/kg curcumin and H2O2 challenge (CUR + H2O2). The trial lasted for 8 weeks, H2O2 challenged groups got an intraperitoneal injection of H2O2 at the 50 and 53 days, while the CON and CUR groups received an injection of saline. The results showed that dietary curcumin supplementation significantly decreased abnormal sperm rates in the semen, notably improved seminiferous tubules, increased testis scores, and serum testosterone levels. Curcumin supplementation could also ameliorate the redox damage caused by H2O2, by enhancing the capacities of antioxidant enzymes (CAT, GSH-Px, SOD, and T-AOC), and reducing MDA levels. In addition, curcumin normalized the H2O2-induced negative effects, which included downregulations in spermatogenesis-related genes (STAR, HSD3-β1, SYCP3, AKT1) and antioxidant genes (HMOX-1, NQO-1), reduced protein expressions of Nrf2, PCNA, and Bcl-2, and increased protein expressions of Caspase 3 and Bax. Moreover, H2O2-induced decreased mRNA expressions of EIF2AK3, Caspase3, and BCL-2 were all reversed by dietary curcumin supplementation. In summary, dietary curcumin supplementation could relieve H2O2-induced oxidative damage and reproduction decline through the Nrf2 signaling pathway and anti-apoptotic effects in roosters.

Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the most common causes of acute kidney injury (AKI). It poses a significant threat to public health, and effective therapeutic drugs are lacking. Mefunidone (MFD) is a new pyridinone drug that exerts a significant protective effect on diabetic nephropathy and the unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model in our previous study. However, the effects of mefunidone on ischemia-reperfusion injury-induced acute kidney injury remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of mefunidone against ischemia-reperfusion injury-induced acute kidney injury and explored the underlying mechanism. These results revealed that mefunidone exerted a protective effect against ischemia-reperfusion injury-induced acute kidney injury. In an ischemia-reperfusion injury-induced acute kidney injury model, treatment with mefunidone significantly protected the kidney by relieving kidney tubular injury, suppressing oxidative stress, and inhibiting kidney tubular epithelial cell apoptosis. Furthermore, we found that mefunidone reduced mitochondrial damage, regulated mitochondrial-related Bax/bcl2/cleaved-caspase3 apoptotic protein expression, and protected mitochondrial electron transport chain complexes III and V levels both in vivo and in vitro, along with a protective effect on mitochondrial membrane potential in vitro. Given that folic acid (FA)-induced acute kidney injury is a classic model, we used this model to further validate the efficacy of mefunidone in acute kidney injury and obtained the same conclusion. Based on the above results, we conclude that mefunidone has potential protective and therapeutic effects in both ischemia-reperfusion injury- and folic acid-induced acute kidney injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim: To investigate the Nephroprotective potential of Olmesartan in RIRI via modulation of the Nrf2/OH-1 signaling pathway. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: Thirty male rats were equally divided into four groups. The sham group was exposed to surgical conditions without induction of RIRI. The control group was exposed to ischemia by clamping the renal pedicles for 30 min, followed by 2h of blood restoration. The vehicle-treated group was received dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) by intraperitoneal injection (IP) 30 min before clamping. RESULTS Results: Olmesartan-treated group was pretreated with Olmesartan a dose of 10 mg/kg IP; 30 min prior to induction of ischemia. Following 30 min of ischemia, the clamps were released and allowed to the reperfusion for 2 h. Blood samples were collected to examine the levels of serum urea and creatinine. Kidney tissue was used to measure the levels of cytokines (TNFα, IL6, MCP, BAX, BCL2 and isoprostane F2. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess the levels of Nrf2 and HO-1. Histological analyses were used to detect the tubular damage in the kidney. CONCLUSION Conclusions: The results showed that Olmesartan alleviates renal tissue damage through activating the antioxidant effect mediated by Nrf2 signaling.

Abstract
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) refers to the slow growth and development of a mammalian embryo/fetus or fetal organs during pregnancy, which is popular in swine production and causes considerable economic losses. Nutritional strategies have been reported to improve the health status and growth performance of IUGR piglets, among which dietary curcumin supplementation is an efficient alternative. Curcumin is a natural lipophilic polyphenol derived from the rhizome of Curcuma longa with many biological activities. It has been demonstrated that curcumin promotes intestinal development and alleviates intestinal oxidative damage. However, due to its low bioavailability caused by poor solubility, chemical instability, and rapid degradation, the application of curcumin in animal production is rare. In this manuscript, the structural-activity relationship to enhance the bioavailability, and the nutritional effects of curcumin on intestinal health from the aspect of protecting piglets from IUGR associated intestinal oxidative damage were summarized to provide new insight into the application of curcumin in animal production.
