Front Microbiol 2024; 15:1404995. [PMID: 38741740 PMCID: PMC11089144 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1404995] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurologic autoimmune disease whose exact pathophysiologic mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Recent studies have shown that the onset and progression of MS are associated with dysbiosis of the gut microbiota. Similarly, a large body of evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction may also have a significant impact on the development of MS. Endosymbiotic theory has found that human mitochondria are microbial in origin and share similar biological characteristics with the gut microbiota. Therefore, gut microbiota and mitochondrial function crosstalk are relevant in the development of MS. However, the relationship between gut microbiota and mitochondrial function in the development of MS is not fully understood. Therefore, by synthesizing previous relevant literature, this paper focuses on the changes in gut microbiota and metabolite composition in the development of MS and the possible mechanisms of the crosstalk between gut microbiota and mitochondrial function in the progression of MS, to provide new therapeutic approaches for the prevention or reduction of MS based on this crosstalk.

Structure characterization of polysaccharides from Cistanche deserticola and their neuroprotective effects against oxidative stress in slow transit constipation mice. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 260:129527. [PMID: 38246435 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129527] [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: 08/15/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Oxidative stress-induced enteric neuropathy is an important factor in slow transit constipation (STC). Cistanche deserticola crude polysaccharides (CDCP) are natural antioxidants with various biological activities. We prepared CDCP through water-extract and alcohol-precipitation methods. The structural characteristics of CDCP were analyzed by infrared spectroscopy and methylation analysis. The results showed that CDCP was primarily composed of (1 → 4)-linked glucans with minor amounts of pectic polysaccharides. Different doses of CDCP (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg) were administered to loperamide-induced STC mice to explore the therapeutic effects of CDCP. Compared with the untreated group, CDCP treatment significantly improved constipation symptoms, relevant gut-regulating peptides levels, colonic pathological damage, and colonic myenteric nerons injury. CDCP enhanced the antioxidant capacity by decreasing Malondialdehyde (MDA) content, increasing Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) activity and Reduced Glutathione (GSH) content. CDCP significantly reduced oxidative stress-induced injury by preserving mitochondrial function in the colonic myenteric plexus. Furthermore, the neuroprotective effects of CDCP might be associated with the Nrf2/Keap1 pathway. Thus, our findings first revealed the potential of CDCP to protect the colonic myenteric plexus against oxidative stress-induced damage in STC, establishing CDCP as promising candidates for natural medicine in the clinical management of STC.

[PMID: 38057837 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-023-02793-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is a clinical complication of mechanical ventilation observed in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. It is characterized by inflammation mediated by inflammatory cells and their secreted mediators. METHODS To investigate the mechanisms underlying VILI, a C57BL/6J mouse model was induced using high tidal volume (HTV) mechanical ventilation. Mice were pretreated with Clodronate liposomes to deplete alveolar macrophages or administered normal bone marrow-derived macrophages or Group V phospholipase A2 (gVPLA2) intratracheally to inhibit bone marrow-derived macrophages. Lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected to assess lung injury and measure Ca2 + concentration, gVPLA2, downstream phosphorylated cytoplasmic phospholipase A2 (p-cPLA2), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), protein expression related to mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial damage. Cellular experiments were performed to complement the animal studies. RESULTS Depletion of alveolar macrophages attenuated HTV-induced lung injury and reduced gVPLA2 levels in alveolar lavage fluid. Similarly, inhibition of alveolar macrophage-derived gVPLA2 had a similar effect. Activation of the cPLA2/PGE2/Ca2 + pathway in alveolar epithelial cells by gVPLA2 derived from alveolar macrophages led to disturbances in mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial dysfunction. The findings from cellular experiments were consistent with those of animal experiments. CONCLUSIONS HTV mechanical ventilation induces the secretion of gVPLA2 by alveolar macrophages, which activates the cPLA2/PGE2/Ca2 + pathway, resulting in mitochondrial dysfunction. These findings provide insights into the pathogenesis of VILI and may contribute to the development of therapeutic strategies for preventing or treating VILI.
