JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL METHODS IN CHEMISTRY 2024; 2024:6599029. [PMID: 38751858 PMCID: PMC11095988 DOI: 10.1155/2024/6599029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
To isolate gastrodin (GAS), 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (4-HBA), and phenolic compounds from Chinese medicine Gastrodia elata Blume, and to explore the binding mode of fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4/aP2) that is closely related to macrophage inflammation, we study their anti-inflammatory targets. After the ultrasonic extraction of the main active components with 70% ethanol, three resins and three eluents were selected, and eight phenolic monomers with similar structures, such as gastrodin and 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, were isolated from Gastrodia elata by AB-8 macroporous resin and silica gel column chromatography and eluted with the CHCl3-MeOH gradient. Their structures were identified by HPLC and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The FABP4 protein was added to GAS and 4-HBA, and the NMR experiment was performed to observe ligand binding. Finally, according to the spectral information of STD-NMR and molecular docking technology, the interaction between ligands and protein was studied. The fluorescence competition experiment confirmed that both GAS and 4-HBA were in the binding cavity of FABP4. Moreover, 3-phenoxy-2-phenylbenzoic acid (PPA) is a possible inhibitor of FABP4, reducing macrophage-related inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum stress. This work provides a new basis for the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Gastrodia elata, paving the way for the research and development of FABP4 inhibitor drugs.

Gastrodin ameliorates acute pancreatitis by modulating macrophage inflammation cascade via inhibition the p38/NF-κB pathway. Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 129:111593. [PMID: 38290206 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.111593] [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: 11/05/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a prevalent, destructive, non-infectious pancreatic inflammatory disease, which is usually accompanied with systemic manifestations and poor prognosis. Gastrodin (4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol 4-O-β-d-glucopyranoside) has ideal anti-inflammatory effects in various inflammatory diseases. However, its potential effects on AP had not been studied. In this study, serum biochemistry, H&E staining, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, western blot, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) were performed to investigate the effects of Gastrodin on caerulein-induced AP pancreatic acinar injury model in vivo and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced M1 phenotype macrophage model in vitro. Our results showed that Gastrodin treatment could significantly reduce the levels of serum amylase and serum lipase while improving pancreatic pathological morphology. Additionally, it decreased secretion of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and inhibited the levels of p-p38/p38, p-IκB/IκB as well as p-NF-κB p-p65/NF-κB p65. Overall our findings suggested that Gastrodin might be a promising therapeutic option for patients with AP by attenuating inflammation through inhibition of the p38/NF-κB pathway mediated macrophage cascade.

Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the role of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-like protein decysin 1 (ADAMDEC-1) in atherosclerosis (AS). The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was utilized to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between carotid atheroma plaque and carotid tissue adjacent atheroma plaque obtained from AS patients. Gene functional enrichment analysis was conducted on DEGs using Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). QRT-PCR was employed to quantify mRNAs expression. AS animal model was established using ApoE-/- mice; serum triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were detected. Aortic sinus atherosclerotic lesions were observed using H&E staining and Oil Red O staining. ADAMDEC-1 was silenced using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in human vascular smooth muscle cells (HVSMCs). Cell proliferation, migration, and cell cycle progression were detected by cell count kit-8 (CCK8), 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EDU), wound scratch healing assay, transwell assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. Western blot was used to evaluate various protein expression levels. Our results showed that ADAMDEC-1 was highly expressed in the serum of AS patients, consistent with the in silico results. The elevated TG, LDL-C, and HDL-C levels along with H&E and Oil Red O staining confirmed the successful establishment of the AS mouse model. ADAMDEC-1 expression was also elevated in AS mice. ADAMDEC-1 knockdown in HVSMCs suppressed cell proliferation, inhibited the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and reduced the levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP2 and MMP9) proteins. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis indicated that ADAMDEC-1 was associated with CXCL9, CCR5, TNF-α, TNFR1, and NF-κB-p50. The expression levels of CXCL9, CCR5, TNF-α, TNFR1, and NF-κB-p50 increased, while ADAMDEC-1 knockdown attenuated the expression of these proteins. Our study findings substantiate that ADAMDEC-1 may represent a novel target for AS.

Abstract
Survivin is a bifunctional protein that plays crucial roles in tumorigenesis. In the present study, we discovered that the natural product gastrodin suppressed the cell viability and colony formation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines A549, HCC827, and H460 in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, gastrodin enhanced the protein levels of cleaved-caspase 3 by activating the endogenous mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Gastrodin inhibits protein kinase B (Akt)/WEE1/cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) signaling to downregulate survivin Thr34 phosphorylation. Survivin Thr34 dephosphorylation caused by gastrodin interfered with the binding of ubiquitin-specific protease 19 (USP19), which eventually destabilized survivin. We revealed that the growth of NSCLC xenograft tumors was markedly suppressed by gastrodin in vivo. Furthermore, gastrodin overcomes pemetrexed resistance in vivo or in vitro. Our results suggest that gastrodin is a potential antitumor agent by reducing survivin in NSCLC.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory reaction that primarily affects large and medium-sized arteries. It is a major cause of cardiovascular disease and peripheral arterial occlusive disease. The pathogenesis of AS involves specific structural and functional alterations in various populations of vascular cells at different stages of the disease. The immune response is involved throughout the entire developmental stage of AS, and targeting immune cells presents a promising avenue for its treatment. Over the past 2 decades, studies have shown that gut microbiota (GM) and its metabolites, such as trimethylamine-N-oxide, have a significant impact on the progression of AS. Interestingly, it has also been reported that there are complex mechanisms of action between GM and their metabolites, immune responses, and natural products that can have an impact on AS. GM and its metabolites regulate the functional expression of immune cells and have potential impacts on AS. Natural products have a wide range of health properties, and researchers are increasingly focusing on their role in AS. Now, there is compelling evidence that natural products provide an alternative approach to improving immune function in the AS microenvironment by modulating the GM. Natural product metabolites such as resveratrol, berberine, curcumin, and quercetin may improve the intestinal microenvironment by modulating the relative abundance of GM, which in turn influences the accumulation of GM metabolites. Natural products can delay the progression of AS by regulating the metabolism of GM, inhibiting the migration of monocytes and macrophages, promoting the polarization of the M2 phenotype of macrophages, down-regulating the level of inflammatory factors, regulating the balance of Treg/Th17, and inhibiting the formation of foam cells. Based on the above, we describe recent advances in the use of natural products that target GM and immune cells crosstalk to treat AS, which may bring some insights to guide the treatment of AS.
