Food Chem 2024; 455:139921. [PMID: 38843718 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139921] [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: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
The pharmaceutical and nutraceutical potentials of whole fruit, pulp and seeds of Rosa pimpinellifolia L. were evaluated. Forty-two phenolic compounds and two triterpenoids were identified in extracts by LC-MS/MS and GC-MS, respectively. The most prominent compounds were ellagic acid, catechin, epicatechin, tannic acid, quercetin, oleanolic acid, and ursolic acid. The highest enzyme inhibitory activities of the extracts (94.83%) were obtained against angiotensin-converting enzyme and were almost equal to those of the commercial standard (lisinopril, 98.99%). Whole fruit and pulp extracts (IC50:2.47 and 1.52 μg DW/mL) exhibited higher antioxidant capacity than the standards (α-tocopherol, IC50:9.89 μg DW/mL). The highest antibacterial activity was obtained against Bacillus cereus (MIC: 256 μg/mL) for the whole fruit extract. Correlation analyses were conducted to find the correlation between individual phenolics and enzyme inhibitory activities. The results showed the remarkable future of not only the edible part but also the seeds of black rose hips in phytochemical and functional aspects.

Abstract
Chemical investigation on the aqueous extract of Dendrobium aphyllum led to the isolation of thirty-one constituents with structures identified by analysis of the extensive spectroscopic data (1D/2D NMR, MS, UV, and ECD), including previously undescribed two bibenzyls, one furfural, and one phenolic acid, namely trigonopol D (1), trigonopol C (2), dendrofunan A (10), and 6-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3,6-dioxohexyl acetate (30), respectively, as well as twenty-seven known ones. Among them, there were one new natural product (11), seven compounds (6-7, 9, 12, 20, 28, 31) described from the genus Dendrobium for the first time, and fifteen compounds (8, 13-17, 19, 21-27, 29) isolated from D. aphyllum for the first time. Further, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials of fifteen compounds (4-5, 8, 11-12, 14-19, 22, 24, 26, and 29) with significant scavenging capacities against DPPH and hydroxyl radicals, and virtual docking activities inhibiting COX-2 and 5-LOX, respectively. Our study may draw the attention of medicinal plant taxonomists and supply potential quality markers for discrimination of D. aphyllum from other species in Dendrobium genus.

ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2024; 187:108713.

Abstract
Nanoplastics (NPs) are increasingly pervasive in the environment, raising concerns about their potential health implications, particularly within aquatic ecosystems. This study investigated the impact of polystyrene nanoparticles (PSN) on zebrafish liver metabolism using liquid chromatography hybrid quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF-MS) based non-targeted metabolomics. Zebrafish were exposed to 50 nm PSN for 28 days at low (L-PSN) and high (H-PSN) concentrations (0.1 and 10 mg/L, respectively) via water. The results revealed significant alterations in key metabolic pathways in low and high exposure groups. The liver metabolites showed different metabolic responses with L-PSN and H-PSN. A total of 2078 metabolite features were identified from the raw data obtained in both positive and negative ion modes, with 190 metabolites deemed statistically significant in both L-PSN and H-PSN groups. Disruptions in lipid metabolism, inflammation, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and amino acid synthesis were identified. Notably, L-PSN exposure induced changes in DNA building blocks, membrane-associated biomarkers, and immune-related metabolites, while H-PSN exposure was associated with oxidative stress, altered antioxidant metabolites, and liver injury. For the first time, L-PSN was found depolymerized in the liver by cytochrome P450 enzymes. Utilizing an analytical approach to the adverse outcome pathway (AOP), impaired lipid metabolism and oxidative stress have been identified as potentially conserved key events (KEs) associated with PSN exposure. These KEs further induced liver inflammation, steatosis, and fibrosis at the tissue and organ level. Ultimately, this could significantly impact biological health. The study highlights the PSN-induced effects on zebrafish liver metabolism, emphasizing the need for a better understanding of the risks associated with NPs contamination in aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
Excessive apoptosis can kill normal cells and lead to liver damage, heart failure and neurodegenerative diseases. Polyphenols are secondary metabolites of plants that can interact with proteins to inhibit toxins and disease-related apoptosis. Bax is the major pro-apoptotic protein that disrupts the outer mitochondrial membrane to induce apoptosis, but limited studies have focused on the interaction between polyphenols and Bax and the associated anti-apoptotic mechanisms, especially at the atomic level. In this article, we collected 69 common polyphenols for active ingredient screening targeting Bax. Polyphenols with better and worse molecular docking scores were selected, and their anti-apoptosis effects were compared using the H2O2-induced HepG2 cell model. The interactions between the selected polyphenols and Bax protein were analyzed using molecular dynamics simulation to explore the molecular mechanism underlying the anti-apoptosis effect. Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) and Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) with the best affinity for Bax (-6.76 and -6.52 kcal/mol) reduced the expression of cytochrome c and caspase 3, decreasing the apoptosis rate from 52 to 11% and 12%. Molecular dynamics simulation results showed that Bim unfolded the α1-α2 loop of Bax, and disrupted the non-bond interactions between the loop (Pro-43, Glu-44 and Leu-45) and surface (Ile-133, Arg-134 and Met-137) residues, with binding free energy changed from -15.0 to 0 kJ/mol. The hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions formed between polyphenols and Bax prevented the unfolding of the loop. Taken together, our results proved that polyphenols can inhibit apoptosis by maintaining the unactivated conformation of Bax to reduce outer mitochondrial membrane damage.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) has attracted increasing attention thanks to its multi-bioactivities, and people are keen on improving the antioxidative and antibacterial performance of EGCG. Based on the favorable biofunctionality of Zn2+ and chitosan (CS), an EGCG derivative with a novel formula, i.e., EGCG-Zn-CS, is presented in this study. The structure of EGCG-Zn-CS was characterized by FT-IR, UV-vis, TGA, XPS, and SEM-EDS. The radical elimination results indicate that 0.1 mg mL-1 of EGCG-Zn-CS demonstrates DPPH radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of 94.8% and 92.3%, while 0.1 mg mL-1 of EGCG exhibits only 78.5% and 75.6%, respectively, which means improved antioxidative activity of EGCG-Zn-CS was obtained. Inhibitory experiments against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli reveal that the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of EGCG-Zn-CS were 15.625 μg mL-1 and 187.5 μg mL-1, whereas the minimal bactericide concentrations (MBCs) were 46.875 μg mL-1 and 750 μg mL-1, respectively, which indicate that EGCG-Zn-CS exerts much higher antibacterial activity than EGCG. It can be concluded that the complexing of zinc cations and CS could amazingly improve both the antioxidative and antibacterial activity of EGCG, and it is expected that an exploration of EGCG-Zn-CS may inspire the development of simultaneous effective antioxidant and antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Retinitis pigmentosa is a common cause of inherited blindness in adults, which in many cases is associated with an increase in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that induces DNA damage, triggering Poly-ADP-Ribose Polymerase 1 (PARP1) activation and leading to parthanatos-mediated cell death. Previous studies have shown that resveratrol (RSV) is a promising molecule that can mitigate PARP1 overactivity, but its low bioavailability is a limitation for medical use. This study examined the impact of a synthesized new acylated RSV prodrug, piceid octanoate (PIC-OCT), in the 661W cell line against H2O2 oxidative stress and in rd10 mice. PIC-OCT possesses a better ADME profile than RSV. In response to H2O2, 661W cells pretreated with PIC-OCT preserved cell viability in more than 38% of cells by significantly promoting SIRT1 nuclear translocation, preserving NAD+/NADH ratio, and suppressing intracellular ROS formation. These effects result from expressing antioxidant genes, maintaining mitochondrial function, reducing PARP1 nuclear expression, and preventing AIF nuclear translocation. In rd10 mice, PIC-OCT inhibited PAR-polymer formation, increased SIRT1 expression, significantly reduced TUNEL-positive cells in the retinal outer nuclear layer, preserved ERGs, and enhanced light chamber activity (all p values < 0.05). Our findings corroborate that PIC-OCT protects photoreceptors by modulating the SIRT1/PARP1 axis in models of retinal degeneration.

Polydatin protects against calcium oxalate crystal-induced renal injury through the cytoplasmic/mitochondrial reactive oxygen species-NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 167:115621. [PMID: 37793278 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115621] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress and inflammatory responses are critical factors in calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal-induced renal injury. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are usually produced in the cytoplasm and mitochondria and trigger the priming and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, thereby regulating cytokines and inflammation. Polydatin is a plant rhizome extract with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antitumor effects. However, it remains not clear whether and how these pathophysiological processes exists in CaOx crystal-induced renal inflammatory injury. METHODS Here, we measured the expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome, IL-18, IL-1β, intracellular and mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) levels and relevant morphological changes in treated renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) and stone-forming rats. The study further explored the action of intracellular ROS and mtROS on these inflammatory damage, and the beneficial effects and pathway of polydatin. RESULTS We verified that CaOx crystal-induced cytoplasmic ROS and mtROS upregulation promoted the priming and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, thereby stimulating IL-18/1β maturation and activation. Polydatin can relieve oxidative stress and inflammatory damage by decreasing ROS. We further demonstrated that mtROS is the main target for polydatin to exert the NLRP3 inflammasome-regulating function. The inhibition of mtROS can effectively relieve the inflammatory damage to TECs and kidney caused by CaOx crystal. CONCLUSION These findings provide new insight into the relationship between mitochondrial damage and inflammation in nephrolithiasis and show that polydatin-mediated anti-inflammatory and antioxidative protection is a therapeutic strategy for, but not limited to, crystalline nephropathy.

[PMID: 37683540 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.106840] [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: 05/07/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Polydatin has shown considerable pharmacological activities in ischemia-reperfusion injuries of various organs. However, its effects and mechanisms in spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury have not been fully established. In this study, the mechanisms of polydatin against spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury were investigated via network pharmacology, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. METHODS Spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury-related targets were obtained from the GeneCards database, while polydatin-related action targets were obtained from the CTD and SwissTarget databases. A protein-protein interaction network of potential targets was constructed using the String platform. After selecting the potential key targets, GO functional enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were performed via the Metascape database, and a network map of "drug-target-pathway-disease" constructed. The relationships between polydatin and various key targets were assessed via molecular docking. Molecular dynamics simulation was conducted for optimal core protein-compound complexes obtained by molecular docking. RESULTS Topological analysis of the PPI network revealed 14 core targets. GO functional enrichment analysis revealed that 435 biological processes, 12 cell components and 29 molecular functions were enriched while KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed 91 enriched signaling pathways. Molecular docking showed that polydatin had the highest binding affinity for MAPK3, suggesting that MAPK3 is a key target of polydatin against spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed good binding abilities between polydatin and MAPK3. CONCLUSIONS Polydatin exerts its effects on spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury through multiple targets and pathways. MAPK3 may be a key target of polydatin in spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Glycosylation of polyphenolic compounds: Design of a self-sufficient biocatalyst by co-immobilization of a glycosyltransferase, a sucrose synthase and the cofactor UDP. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 250:126009. [PMID: 37536414 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126009] [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: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023]
Abstract
Glycosyltransferases catalyze the regioselective glycosylation of polyphenolic compounds, increasing their solubility without altering their antioxidant properties. Leloir-type glycosyltransferases require UDP-glucose as a cofactor to glycosylate a hydroxyl of the polyphenol, which is expensive and unstable. To simplify these processes for industrial implementation, the preparation of self-sufficient heterogeneous biocatalysts is needed. In this study, a glycosyltransferase and a sucrose synthase (as an UDP-regenerating enzyme) were co-immobilized onto porous agarose-based supports coated with polycationic polymers: polyethylenimine and polyallylamine. In addition, the UDP cofactor was strongly ionically adsorbed and co-immobilized with the enzymes, eliminating the need to add it separately. Thus, the optimal self-sufficient heterogeneous biocatalyst was able to catalyze the glycosylation of three polyphenolic compounds (piceid, phloretin and quercetin) with in situ regeneration of the UDP-glucose, allowing multiple consecutive reaction cycles without the addition of exogenous cofactor. A TTN value of 50 (theoretical maximum) was obtained in the reaction of piceid glycosylation, after 5 reaction cycles, using the self-sufficient biocatalyst based on an improved sucrose synthase variant. This result was 5-fold higher than the obtained using soluble cofactor and the co-immobilized enzymes, and much higher than those reported in the literature for similar processes.

Abstract
The specific characteristics of endometriotic cells are their ability to evade the apoptotic machinery and abnormal response to apoptotic stimuli. Natural-originated compounds may constitute a beneficial strategy in apoptosis modulation in endometriosis. We investigated and compared the potency of natural resveratrol analogs, including piceatannol, polydatin, and pterostilbene, in targeting cell death pathways, including apoptosis-related morphologic and biochemical processes, alongside the modulation of the critical genes expression. Upon resveratrol and pterostilbene treatment, a significant reduction of endometriotic cell viability and an increased apoptotic proportion of cells were noted. The lower antiproliferative potential was found for piceatannol and polydatin. Endometrial stromal T HESC cells were significantly more resistant than endometriotic epithelial 12Z cells to the cytotoxic activity of all analyzed compounds. They differentially affected endometriotic cell viability, cell cycle, anti- and proapoptotic genes regulation, caspases expression and enzymatic activity, and DNA fragmentation. Pterostilbene-mediated endometriotic cell apoptosis modulation was confirmed to be most effective but without evident caspase 3 upregulation. Our study provides valuable insight into the apoptogenic activity of resveratrol and its natural analogs in endometriotic cells. Data obtained revealed the highest therapeutic potential of pterostilbene by effectively targeting cell death determinants in endometriosis, strengthening its optimization in further extensive research.

Abstract
Inflammation is triggered by a variety of danger signals and is now a worldwide concern. Resveratrol, a natural nonflavonoid polyphenol found in naturally consumed plants and foods, has a wide spectrum of bioactive potency. We successfully generated resveratrol-enriched rice by introducing the resveratrol biosynthesis gene into Dongjin rice. In this study, resveratrol- and piceid-enriched rice (DJ526) was investigated for its anti-inflammatory activity in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells compared to normal rice (DJ). In addition, the 5-day-old germinated DJ526 (DJ526_5) was tested for its anti-inflammatory effects. The piceid and resveratrol amounts increased in DJ526_5 by germination. Treatment of LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells with resveratrol-enriched rice seed extracts (DJ526_0 and DJ526_5) significantly decreased the production of nitric oxide (NO) and the inflammatory mediator prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), downregulated proinflammatory gene expression, and inhibited nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2) phosphorylation. These findings demonstrated the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of resveratrol-enriched rice in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Furthermore, resveratrol-enriched rice could be a potential source of anti-inflammatory agents.

Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 117:109997. [PMID: 36940554 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.109997] [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: 12/19/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. It is well known that the formation of positive feedback between synovial hyperplasia and inflammatory infiltration is intimately associated with the occurrence and development of RA. However, the exact mechanisms still remain unknown, making the early diagnosis and therapy of RA difficult. This study was designed to identify prospective diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers, as well as their-mediated biological mechanisms in RA. METHODS Three microarray datasets (GSE36700, GSE77298 and GSE153015) and two RNA-sequencing datasets (GSE89408 and GSE112656) of synovial tissues, as well as three other microarray datasets (GSE101193, GSE134087 and GSE94519) of peripheral blood were downloaded for integrated analysis. The differently expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by "limma" package of R software. Then, weight gene co-expression analysis and gene set enrichment analysis were performed to investigate synovial tissue-specific genes and their-mediated biological mechanisms in RA. The expression of candidate genes and their diagnostic value for RA were verified by quantitative real-time PCR and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, respectively. Relevant biological mechanisms were explored through cell proliferation and colony formation assay. The suggestive anti-RA compounds were discovered by CMap analysis. RESULTS We identified a total of 266 DEGs, which were mainly enriched in cellular proliferation and migration, infection and inflammatory immune signaling pathways. Bioinformatics analysis and molecular validation revealed 5 synovial tissue-specific genes, which exhibited excellent diagnostic value for RA. The infiltration level of immune cells in RA synovial tissue was significantly higher than that in control individuals. Moreover, preliminary molecular experiments suggested that these characteristic genes may be responsible for the high proliferation potential of RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs). Finally, 8 small molecular compounds with anti-RA potential were obtained. CONCLUSIONS We have proposed 5 potential diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers (CDK1, TTK, HMMR, DLGAP5, and SKA3) in synovial tissues that may contribute to the pathogenesis of RA. These findings may shed light on the early diagnosis and therapy of RA.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs) are major health issues in Western countries. Despite significant efforts, no effective therapeutics for NDDs exist. Several drugs that target epigenetic mechanisms (epidrugs) have been recently developed for the treatment of NDDs, and several of these are currently being tested in clinical trials. Furthermore, various bioproducts have shown important biological effects for the potential prevention and treatment of these disorders. Here, we review the use of natural products as epidrugs to treat NDDs in order to explore the epigenetic effects and benefits of functional foods and natural bioproducts on neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Polydatin or 3-O-β-d-resveratrol-glucopyranoside (PD), a stilbenoid component of Polygonum cuspicadum (Polygonaceae), has a variety of biological roles. In traditional Chinese medicine, P. cuspicadum extracts are used for the treatment of infections, inflammation, and cardiovascular disorders. Polydatin possesses a broad range of biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, and immunostimulatory effects. Currently, a major proportion of the population is victimized with cervical lung cancer, ovarian cancer and breast cancer. PD has been recognized as a potent anticancer agent. PD could effectively inhibit the migration and proliferation of ovarian cancer cells, as well as the expression of the PI3K protein. The malignancy of lung cancer cells was reduced after PD treatments via targeting caspase 3, arresting cancer cells at the S phase and inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome by downregulation of the NF-κB pathway. This ceases cell cycle, inhibits VEGF, and counteracts ROS in breast cancer. It also prevents cervical cancer by regulating epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), apoptosis, and the C-Myc gene. The objective of this review is thus to unveil the polydatin anticancer potential for the treatment of various tumors, as well as to examine the mechanisms of action of this compound.

Abstract
Accumulated experimental data have suggested that natural plant products may be effective miRNA-modulating chemopreventive and therapeutic agents. Dietary polyphenols such as flavonoids, stilbenes, and lignans, among others, have been intensively studied for their miRNA-mediated cardioprotective, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. The aim of this review is to outline known stilbene-regulated miRNAs in cancer, with a special focus on the interplay between various miRNAs and MTA1 signaling in prostate cancer. MTA1 is an epigenetic reader and an oncogenic transcription factor that is overexpressed in advanced prostate cancer and metastasis. Not surprisingly, miRNAs that are linked to MTA1 affect cancer progression and the metastatic potential of cells. Studies led to the identification of MTA1-associated pro-oncogenic miRNAs, which are regulated by stilbenes such as resveratrol and pterostilbene. Specifically, it has been shown that inhibition of the activity of the MTA1 regulated oncogenic miR-17 family of miRNAs, miR-22, and miR-34a by stilbenes leads to inhibition of prostatic hyperplasia and tumor progression in mice and reduction of proliferation, survival and invasion of prostate cancer cells in vitro. Taken together, these findings implicate the use of resveratrol and its analogs as an attractive miRNA-mediated chemopreventive and therapeutic strategy in prostate cancer and the use of circulating miRNAs as potential predictive biomarkers for clinical development.

Abstract
Polygoni Cuspidati Rhizoma et Radix, the dry roots and stems of Reynoutria japonica Houtt (called Huzhang, HZ in Chinese), is a traditional and popular chinese medicinal herb for thousands of years. As a widely used ethnomedicine in Asia including China, Japan, and Korea, HZ can invigorate the blood, cool heat, and resolve toxicity, which is commonly used in the treatment of favus, jaundice, scald, and constipation. However, HZ is now considered an invasive plant in the United States and many European countries. Therefore, in order to take advantage of HZ and solve the problem of biological invasion, scholars around the world have carried out abundant research studies on HZ. Until now, about 110 compounds have been isolated and identified from HZ, in which anthraquinones, stilbenes, and flavonoids would be the main bioactive ingredients for its pharmacological properties, such as microcirculation improvement, myocardial protective effects, endocrine regulation, anti-atherosclerotic activity, anti-oxidant activity, anti-tumor activity, anti-viral activity, and treatment of skin inflammation, burns, and scalds. HZ has a variety of active ingredients and broad pharmacological activities. It is widely used in health products, cosmetics, and even animal husbandry feed and has no obvious toxicity. Efforts should be made to develop more products such as effective drugs, health care products, cosmetics, and agricultural and animal husbandry products to benefit mankind.

Abstract
Human uptake abundance of microplastics via various pathways, and they accumulate in human liver, kidney, gut and even placenta (especially with a diameter of 1 μm or less). Recent scientific studies have found that exposure to microplastics causes intestinal inflammation and liver metabolic disorder, but it remains largely unknown that whether the damage and inflammation may cause further development of severe diseases. In this study, we discovered one of such potential diseases that may be induced by the exposure to small-sized microplastics (with a diameter of 1 μm) performing a multi-organ and multi-omics study comprising metabolomics and microbiome approaches. Unlike other animal experiments, the dosing strategy was applied in mice according to the daily exposure of the highly exposed population, which was more environmentally relevant and reflective of real-world human exposure. Our studies on the gut-liver axis metabolism have shown that the crosstalk between the gut and liver ultimately leaded to insulin resistance and even diabetes. We proactively verified this hypothesis by measuring the levels of fasting blood glucose and fasting insulin, which were found significantly elevated in the mice with microplastics exposure. These results indicate the urgent need of large-scale cohort evaluation on epidemiology and prognosis of insulin resistance after microplastics exposure in future.

Polydatin Attenuates Intra-Uterine Growth Retardation-Induced Liver Injury and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Weanling Piglets by Improving Energy Metabolism and Redox Balance. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11040666. [PMID: 35453351 PMCID: PMC9028342 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11040666] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The present study investigated the potential of polydatin to protect against liver injury and the mitochondrial dysfunction of weanling piglets suffering from intra-uterine growth retardation (IUGR). Thirty-six normal birth weight weanling piglets and an equal number of IUGR littermates were given a basal diet with or without polydatin (250 mg/kg) from 21 to 35 d of age. Plasma and liver samples were collected to measure biochemistry parameters at 35 d of age. IUGR caused hepatic apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative damage, along with a lower efficiency of energy metabolism and inferior antioxidant ability. Polydatin decreased apoptotic rate, improved the features of mitochondrial damage, inhibited mitochondrial swelling and superoxide anion formation, and preserved mitochondrial membrane potential in the liver. Concurrently, polydatin promoted mitochondrial biogenesis, increased sirtuin 1 activity, and upregulated the expression levels of several genes related to mitochondrial function and fitness. Polydatin also facilitated mitochondrial oxidative metabolism with a beneficial outcome of increased energy production. Furthermore, polydatin mitigated the IUGR-induced reduction in manganese superoxide dismutase activity and prevented the excessive accumulation of oxidative damaging products in the liver. These findings indicate that polydatin confers protection against hepatic injury and mitochondrial dysfunction in the IUGR piglets by improving energy metabolism and redox balance.

Enhanced Anti-Skin-Aging Activity of Yeast Extract-Treated Resveratrol Rice DJ526. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27061951. [PMID: 35335317 PMCID: PMC8954687 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27061951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 03/10/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that defends against oxidative stress in cells but is not found in large quantities in plants. Resveratrol-enriched rice DJ526, which was developed as a functional crop, shows a diverse range of biological activities. Resveratrol production is measured as total resveratrol and its glycoside, piceid, which is mainly found in plant-derived resveratrol. In the present study, elicitation using yeast extract (YE), methyl jasmonate, and jasmonic acid increased resveratrol production in DJ526 rice seeds. DJ526 seeds elicited using 1 g/L (YE1) and 5 g/L yeast extract (YE5) showed enhanced resveratrol production and antioxidant activity. YE5-treated DJ526 seeds showed decreased melanin content by 46.1% and 37.0% compared with the negative control and DJ526 (non-elicitation), respectively. Both YE1 and YE5 efficiently improved the wound-healing activity by reducing the wound gap faster than in untreated cells, with a maximum rate of 60.2% at 24 h and complete closure at 48 h. YE1 and YE5 significantly decreased the levels of proinflammatory cytokine, TNF-α, and enhanced collagen synthesis in inflammatory cells. These findings indicate that YE-treated resveratrol rice DJ526 may improve resveratrol production and could be an active antiaging ingredient for cosmetic and skin therapy applications.

Milk-Derived Exosomes as Nanocarriers to Deliver Curcumin and Resveratrol in Breast Tissue and Enhance Their Anticancer Activity. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23052860. [PMID: 35270004 PMCID: PMC8911159 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23052860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2022] [Revised: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Dietary (poly)phenols are extensively metabolized, limiting their anticancer activity. Exosomes (EXOs) are extracellular vesicles that could protect polyphenols from metabolism. Our objective was to compare the delivery to breast tissue and anticancer activity in breast cancer cell lines of free curcumin (CUR) and resveratrol (RSV) vs. their encapsulation in milk-derived EXOs (EXO-CUR and EXO-RSV). A kinetic breast tissue disposition was performed in rats. CUR and RSV were analyzed using UPLC-QTOF-MS and GC-MS, respectively. Antiproliferative activity was tested in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer and MCF-10A non-tumorigenic cells. Cell cycle distribution, apoptosis, caspases activation, and endocytosis pathways were determined. CUR and RSV peaked in the mammary tissue (41 ± 15 and 300 ± 80 nM, respectively) 6 min after intravenous administration of EXO-CUR and EXO-RSV, but not with equivalent free polyphenol concentrations. Nanomolar EXO-CUR or EXO-RSV concentrations, but not free CUR or RSV, exerted a potent antiproliferative effect on cancer cells with no effect on normal cells. Significant (p < 0.05) cell cycle alteration and pro-apoptotic activity (via the mitochondrial pathway) were observed. EXO-CUR and EXO-RSV entered the cells primarily via clathrin-mediated endocytosis, avoiding ATP-binding cassette transporters (ABC). Milk EXOs protected CUR and RSV from metabolism and delivered both polyphenols to the mammary tissue at concentrations compatible with the fast and potent anticancer effects exerted in model cells. Milk EXOs enhanced the bioavailability and anticancer activity of CUR and RSV by acting as Trojan horses that escape from cancer cells’ ABC-mediated chemoresistance.

Abstract
Stilbenes are phenolic compounds naturally synthesized as secondary metabolites by the shikimate pathway in plants. Research on them has increased in recent years due to their therapeutic potential as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, cardioprotective and anti-obesity agents. Amongst them, resveratrol has attracted the most attention, although there are other natural and synthesized stilbenes with enhanced properties. However, stilbenes have some physicochemical and pharmacokinetic problems that need to be overcome before considering their applications. Human clinical evidence of their bioactivity is still controversial due to this fact and hence, exhaustive basis science on stilbenes is needed before applied science. This review gathers the main physicochemical and biological properties of natural stilbenes, establishes structure-activity relationships among them, emphasizing the current problems that limit their applications and presenting some promising approaches to overcome these issues: the encapsulation in different agents and the structural modification to obtain novel stilbenes with better features. The bioactivity of stilbenes should move from promising to evident.

Abstract
Polydatin, one of the natural active small molecules, was commonly applied in protecting and treating liver disorders in preclinical studies. Oxidative stress plays vital roles in liver injury caused by various factors, such as alcohol, viral infections, dietary components, drugs, and other chemical reagents. It is reported that oxidative stress might be one of the main reasons in the progressive development of alcohol liver diseases (ALDs), nonalcoholic liver diseases (NAFLDs), liver injury, fibrosis, hepatic failure (HF), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this paper, we comprehensively summarized the pharmacological effects and potential molecular mechanisms of polydatin for protecting and treating liver disorders via regulation of oxidative stress. According to the previous studies, polydatin is a versatile natural compound and exerts significantly protective and curative effects on oxidative stress-associated liver diseases via various molecular mechanisms, including amelioration of liver function and insulin resistance, inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines, lipid accumulation, endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy, regulation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), as well as increase of antioxidant enzymes (such as catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)). In addition, polydatin acts as a free radical scavenger against reactive oxygen species (ROS) by its phenolic and ethylenic bond structure. However, further clinical investigations are still needed to explore the comprehensive molecular mechanisms and confirm the clinical treatment effect of polydatin in liver diseases related to regulation of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Glycosylation of resveratrol was carried out by using the amylosucrase of Deinococcus geothermalis, and the glycosylated products were tested for their solubility, chemical stability, and biological activities. We synthesized and identified these two major glycosylated products as resveratrol-4'-O-α-glucoside and resveratrol-3-O-α-glucoside by nuclear magnetic resonance analysis with a ratio of 5:1. The water solubilities of the two resveratrol-α-glucoside isomers (α-piceid isomers) were approximately 3.6 and 13.5 times higher than that of β-piceid and resveratrol, respectively, and they were also highly stable in buffered solutions. The antioxidant activity of the α-piceid isomers, examined by radical scavenging capability, showed it to be initially lower than that of resveratrol, but as time passed, the α-piceid isomers' activity reached a level similar to that of resveratrol. The α-piceid isomers also showed better inhibitory activity against tyrosinase and melanin synthesis in B16F10 melanoma cells than β-piceid. The cellular uptake of the α-piceid isomers, which was assessed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) analysis of the cell-free extracts of B16F10 melanoma cells, demonstrated that the glycosylated form of resveratrol was gradually converted to resveratrol inside the cells. These results indicate that the enzymatic glycosylation of resveratrol could be a useful method for enhancing the bioavailability of resveratrol.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The use of natural resources as medicines for cancer therapies has been described throughout history in the form of traditional medicines. However, many resources are still unidentified for their potent biological activities. Clerodendrum viscosum is a hill glory bower reported as a remedy against oxidative stress, skin diseases, and intestinal infections. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We have collected the C. viscosum leaves and used for the preparation of 70% methanolic extract (CVLME). Then, CVLME has been confirmed for anticancer properties on various cancer cell lines by evaluating cytotoxicity, cell cycle analysis, induction of ROS and apoptosis, and nuclear fragmentation. Further, the phytochemical analysis of CVLME was evaluated through high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS: Cell proliferation assay revealed the selective cytotoxicity of CVLME against breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). The FACS-based cell cycle analysis showed increased subG1 (apoptosis) population dose dependently. Further, the apoptosis-inducing effect of CVLME was confirmed by annexin staining. Flow cytometry and confocal microscopy revealed the selective ROS generation upon CVLME treatment. The confocal-based morphological study also revealed condensed and fragmented nuclear structure in CVLME-treated MCF-7 cells. Phytochemical investigations further indicated the presence of tannic acid, catechin, rutin, and reserpine which might be the reason for the anticancer activity of CVLME. CONCLUSION: The above-combined results revealed the anticancer effect of CVLME, which may be due to the selective induction of ROS in breast carcinoma.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is among the most important methods for breast cancer treatment. However, this method's effectiveness is limited by radioresistance. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the stilbene derivatives piceid, resveratrol, and piceatannol have a radiosensitising effect on breast cancer cells (MCF-7). The conducted research enabled us to determine which of the tested compounds has the greatest potential in sensitising cells to ionising radiation (IR). Among the stilbene derivatives, resveratrol significantly increased the effect of IR. Resveratrol and IR used in combination had a higher cytotoxic effect on MCF-7 cells than using piceatannol, piceid, or radiation alone. This was due to a significant decrease in the activity of antioxidant enzymes, which resulted in the accumulation of formed reactive oxygen species (ROS). The effect of resveratrol and IR enhanced the expression of apoptotic genes, such as Bax, p53, and caspase 8, leading to apoptosis.

Abstract
Reynoutria japonica Houtt. is a critical invasive alien plant in Europe and North America with a drastic impact on native flora. However, R. japonica has medicinal potential, especially as a source of stilbenes. In order to explore the potential of simple extractions of R. japonica, we conducted qualitative and quantitative analyses of fresh R. japonica rhizome infusion, decoction, and macerates with ethanol by UHPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn and UHPLC-DAD, with a focus on major constituent groups of stilbenes and anthranoids. Since R. japonica rhizome extracts showed antimicrobial potential in the past, we also evaluated the antimycobacterial effect of raw R. japonica extracts for the first time against Mycobacterium smegmatis. Of thirty-four characterized substances, six were stilbenes and twelve anthranoids. The main constituents, four trans-stilbenes and eight anthranoids, were quantified in a validated UHPLC-DAD method. The 38% ethanol macerate showed high stilbene (155.078 mg/100 g fluid extract) and low anthranoid content (5.420 mg/100 g fluid extract), while decoction showed the highest anthranoids. Antimycobacterial testing gave good results for all macerates (MIC 256 µg/mL) and trans-resveratrol (64 µg/mL). Extraction and enrichment of stilbenes from fresh plant material by simple extraction methods with food-grade solvents might encourage consideration of wild harvest of rhizomes over classic means of eradication of R. japonica.

Abstract
The traditional Mediterranean Diet constitutes a food model that refers to the dietary patterns of the population living in countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea in the early 1960s. A huge volume of literature data suggests that the Mediterranean-style diet provides several dietary compounds that have been reported to exert beneficial biological effects against a wide spectrum of chronic illnesses, such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases and cancer including breast carcinoma. Among bioactive nutrients identified as protective factors for breast cancer, natural polyphenols, retinoids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been reported to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and antitumoral properties. The multiple anticancer mechanisms involved include the modulation of molecular events and signaling pathways associated with cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, migration, angiogenesis, antioxidant enzymes and immune responses. This review summarizes the anticancer action of some polyphenols, like resveratrol and epigallocatechin 3-gallate, retinoids and omega-3 PUFAs by highlighting the important hallmarks of cancer in terms of (i) cell cycle growth arrest, (ii) apoptosis, (iii) inflammation and (iv) angiogenesis. The data collected from in vitro and in vivo studies strongly indicate that these natural compounds could be the prospective candidates for the future anticancer therapeutics in breast cancer disease.

Abscisic Acid's Role in the Modulation of Compounds that Contribute to Wine Quality. PLANTS 2021; 10:plants10050938. [PMID: 34066656 PMCID: PMC8151882 DOI: 10.3390/plants10050938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Revised: 04/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a crucial role in the plant responses to environmental signals, in particular by triggering secondary metabolism. High-altitude vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina, are exposed to elevated solar ultraviolet-B (UV-B) levels and moderate water deficits (WD), thus producing grapevine berries with high enological quality for red winemaking. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and phenolic compounds (PCs) accumulate in the berry skins, possess antioxidant activity, and are important attributes for red wine. The aim of the present study was to analyze the role of ABA in the modulation of these compounds in Vitis vinifera L. cv. Malbec wines by comparing the independent and interactive effects of UV-B, WD, and ABA. Two UV-B treatments (ambient solar UV-B or reduced UV-B), two watering treatments (well-watered or moderate water deficit) and two ABA treatments (no ABA and sprayed ABA) were given in a factorial design during one growing season. Sprayed ABA, alone and/or in combination with UV-B (specially) and WD (to a lower degree) increased low molecular weight polyphenols (LMWP), anthocyanins, but most noticeably the stilbenes trans-resveratrol and piceid. Under these treatments, VOCs were scarcely affected, and the antioxidant capacity was influenced by the combination of UV-B and WD. From a technological point of view, ABA applications may be an effective vineyard management tool, considering that it elicited a higher content of compounds beneficial for wine aging, as well compounds related to color.

Sun Z, Wang X, Xu Z. SIRT1 provides new pharmacological targets for polydatin through its role as a metabolic sensor. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 139:111549. [PMID: 33901876 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.111549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2021] [Revised: 03/14/2021] [Accepted: 03/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
The SIRT family of proteins constitutes highly conserved deacetylases with diverse and extensive functions. These proteins have specific biological functions, including regulation of transcription, cell cycle, cell differentiation, apoptosis, stress, metabolism, and genomic stability. Polydatin is a monocrystalline compound isolated from a Chinese herb, Polygonum cuspidatum. The pharmacological mechanisms of polydatin are mostly unclear but involve members of the SIRT protein family, among which SIRT1 plays a vital role. Polydatin is usually considered a potential SIRT1 activator. This review summarizes the signaling mechanism of polydatin involving SIRT1 and discusses the roles of related signal molecules such as PGC-1α, Nrf2, p38-MAPK, NLPR3 inflammasome, and p53. Further, we describe the metabolic regulation of related biological macromolecules and demonstrate that SIRT1, as a metabolic sensor, may act as a new pharmacological target for polydatin.

Abstract
A new chromatographic method by Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatographic (UHPLC) technology, has been developed and validated for the determination of polydatin and resveratrol, as potential metabolite, in human plasma. After the optimization of the chromatographic conditions, the method has been validated on spiked human plasma samples. The optimized extraction allowed to obtain analytes recovery up to 98.48 ± 4.03 %. Then, the isocratic elution in reversed phase mode, provides the separation of polydatin and resveratrol in less than 10.0 min. Chromatographic analysis was performed on a C18, 10 cm x 3.0 mm, 2.7 μm stationary phase, by using triethanolamine phosphate solution (0.1 M, pH = 3.7) and ACN 85:15 (v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The UV detector was set at 306 nm for the analysis of both polydatin and resveratrol. The limit of detection (LoD) and the limit of quantification (LoQ) for polydatin in plasma samples were found to be 7.82 ± 0.38 nM and 26.06 ± 1.28 nM respectively. The method was found to be accurate and precise with a coefficient for intra- and inter-day variation below 5 %. All the reported data demonstrate how the developed method is rapid and sensitive. Moreover, results of the analysis of plasma samples, obtained from orally treated volunteers with nutritional supplements containing polydatin, have shown the method to be suitable for the pharmacokinetic characterization of polydatin and resveratrol, as metabolite, in humans.

Abstract
Resveratrol, trans 3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene, is a stilbenoid polyphenol with a wide range of properties including antioxidant, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. It is found in the skins of grape (50-100 μg/mL), red wine, peanuts, bilberries, blueberries and cranberries. The most important effects of resveratrol have been found in cardiovascular disease, with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) being a major severe and progressive component. Many factors are involved in the pathogenesis of PAH, including enzymes, transcription factors, proteins, chemokines, cytokines, hypoxia, oxidative stress and others. Resveratrol treats PAH through its actions on various signaling pathways. These signaling pathways are mainly suppressed SphK1-mediated NF-κB activation, BMP/SMAD signaling pathway, miR-638 and NR4A3/cyclin D1 pathway, SIRT1 pathway, Nrf-2, HIF-1 α expression, MAPK/ERK1 and PI3K/AKT pathways, and RhoA-ROCK signaling pathway. Resveratrol efficiently inhibits the proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells and right ventricular remodeling, which are underlying processes leading to enhanced PAH. While supportive evidence from randomized controlled trials is yet to be available, current in vitro and in vivo studies seem to be convincing and suggest a therapeutic promise for the use of resveratrol in PAH.

Nutrients 2020; 12:nu12113224.

Abstract
The effects of two different dietary supplements on the redox status of healthy human participants were evaluated. The first supplement (GluS, Glutathione Synthesis) contains the precursors for the endogenous synthesis of glutathione and the second (GluReS, Glutathione and Resveratrol Synthesis) contains in addition polydatin, a precursor of resveratrol. To assess the influence of GluS and GluReS on the redox status, ten thiol species and three vitamins were measured before (t0) and after 8 weeks (t1) of dietary supplementation. An inflammatory marker, neopterin, was also assessed at the same time points. Both supplements were highly effective in improving the redox status by significantly increasing the reduced-glutathione (GSH) content and other reduced thiol species while significantly decreasing the oxidized species. The positive outcome of the redox status was most significant in the GluRes treatment group which also experienced a significant reduction in neopterin levels. Of note, the endogenous levels of vitamins C, E and A were significantly increased in both treatment groups, with best results in the GluReS group. While both dietary supplements significantly contributed to recognized antioxidant and anti-inflammatory outcomes, the effects of GluReS, the combination of glutathione and resveratrol precursors, were more pronounced. Thus, dietary supplementation with GluReS may represent a valuable strategy for maintaining a competent immune status and a healthy lifespan.

Abstract
2-substituted thiophene compounds with electron donating and electron withdrawing p-phenyl substitution were synthesized and studied their radical scavenging properties using DPPH assay and DFT method. It is shown that p-hydroxy and p-amino phenyl substituted compound exhibit radical scavenging activity. From DFT and radical scavenging studies, a correlation between IC50 with the bond dissociation enthalpy, proton affinity, ground state dipole moment and optical band gap of compound is found. Compounds 1-3 with electron withdrawing substituent (NO2, CN, Cl) do not show any radical scavenging properties, whereas compounds 6-7 with electron donating substituent (OH, NH2) show antiradical properties. Further, the antiradical activity is reduced drastically by replacing the -OH and -NH2 with methoxy and -N-alkylating group respectively in 6 and 7. The compound with p-hydroxy phenyl substitution, exhibits stronger antiradical activity as compared to the p-amino phenyl substitution due to smaller O-H bond dissociation energy as compared to the N-H bond. From DPPH and DFT studies, it is suggested that the radical scavenging activity in 2-substituted thiophene is occurred through proton transfer mechanism. The other possible SET, SPLET mechanisms are also corroborated.

Protective Effect of Polydatin on Jejunal Mucosal Integrity, Redox Status, Inflammatory Response, and Mitochondrial Function in Intrauterine Growth-Retarded Weanling Piglets. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2020; 2020:7178123.

Abstract
Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) delays the gut development of neonates, but effective treatment strategies are still limited. This study used newborn piglets as a model to evaluate the protective effect of polydatin (PD) against IUGR-induced intestinal injury. In total, 36 IUGR piglets and an equal number of normal birth weight (NBW) littermates were fed either a basal diet or a PD-supplemented diet from 21 to 35 days of age. Compared with NBW, IUGR induced jejunal damage and barrier dysfunction of piglets, as indicated by observable bacterial translocation, enhanced apoptosis, oxidative and immunological damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction. PD treatment decreased bacterial translocation and inhibited the IUGR-induced increases in circulating diamine oxidase activity (P = 0.039) and D-lactate content (P = 0.004). The apoptotic rate (P = 0.024) was reduced by 35.2% in the PD-treated piglets, along with increases in villus height (P = 0.033) and in ratio of villus height to crypt depth (P = 0.049). PD treatment promoted superoxide dismutase (P = 0.026) and glutathione S-transferase activities (P = 0.006) and reduced malondialdehyde (P = 0.015) and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine accumulation (P = 0.034) in the jejunum. The PD-treated IUGR piglets showed decreased jejunal myeloperoxidase activity (P = 0.029) and tumor necrosis factor alpha content (P = 0.035) than those received a basal diet. PD stimulated nuclear sirtuin 1 (P = 0.028) and mitochondrial citrate synthase activities (P = 0.020) and facilitated adenosine triphosphate production (P = 0.009) in the jejunum of piglets. Furthermore, PD reversed the IUGR-induced declines in mitochondrial DNA content (P = 0.048), the phosphorylation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase alpha (P = 0.027), and proliferation-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha expression (P = 0.033). Altogether, the results indicate that PD may improve jejunal integrity, mitigate mucosal oxidative and immunological damage, and facilitate mitochondrial function in IUGR piglets.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. The destructive nature of the disease makes it difficult for clinicians to manage the condition. Hence, there is an urgent need to find new alternatives for HCC, as the role of conventional cytotoxic drugs has reached a plateau to control HCC associated mortality. Antioxidant compounds of plant origin with potential anti-tumor effect have been recognized as alternate modes in cancer treatment and chemoprevention. Resveratrol (RS) is a model natural nonflavonoid drug known for its anti-cancer activity. However, its clinical application is limited due to its poor bioavailability. The current research work aims to formulate, optimize, and characterize RS loaded cationic liposomes (RLs) for specific delivery in HCC. The optimized liposomes formulation (RL5) was spherical with a vesicle size (VS) of 145.78 ± 9.9 nm, ζ potential (ZP) of 38.03 ± 9.12 mV, and encapsulation efficiency (EE) of 78.14 ± 8.04%. In vitro cytotoxicity studies in HepG2 cells demonstrated an improved anti-cancer activity of RL5 in comparison with free RS. These outcomes were supported by a cell uptake study in HepG2 cells, in which RL5 exhibited a higher uptake than free RS. Furthermore, confocal images of HepG2 cells after 3 and 5 h of incubation showed higher internalization of coumarin 6 (C6) loaded liposomes (CL) as compared to those of the free C6. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (prophylactic and therapeutic treatment modalities) studies were performed in N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA-carcinogen) induced HCC in rats. Pharmacokinetic evaluation of RL5 demonstrated increased localization of RS in cancerous liver tissues by 3.2- and 2.2-fold increase in AUC and Cmax, respectively, when compared to those of the free RS group. A pharmacodynamic investigation revealed a significant reduction in hepatocyte nodules in RL5 treated animals when compared to those of free RS. Further, on treatment with RL5, HCC-bearing rats showed a significant decrease in the liver marker enzymes (alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate transaminase, total bilirubin levels, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, and α-fetoprotein), in comparison with that of the disease control group. Our findings were supported by histopathological analysis, and we were first to demonstrate that NDEA induced detrimental effect on rat livers was successfully reversed with the treatment of RL5 formulation. These results implied that delivery of RS loaded cationic liposomes substantially controlled the severity of HCC and that they can be considered as a promising nanocarrier in the management of HCC.

Abstract
The use of nutraceuticals during cancer treatment is a long-lasting debate. Berberine (BBR) is an isoquinoline quaternary alkaloid extracted from a variety of medicinal plants. BBR has been shown to have therapeutic effects in different pathologies, particularly in cancer, where it affects pathways involved in tumor progression. In neuroblastoma, the most common extracranial childhood solid tumor, BBR, reduces tumor growth by regulating both stemness and differentiation features and by inducing apoptosis. At the same time, the inhibition of β-adrenergic signaling leads to a reduction in growth and increase of differentiation of neuroblastoma. In this review, we summarize the possible beneficial effects of BBR in counteracting tumor growth and progression in various types of cancer and, in particular, in neuroblastoma. However, BBR administration, besides its numerous beneficial effects, presents a few side effects due to inhibition of MAO A enzyme in neuroblastoma cells. Therefore, herein, we proposed a novel therapeutic strategy to overcome side effects of BBR administration consisting of concomitant administration of BBR together with β-blockers in neuroblastoma.

Abstract
Prolonged inflammatory response and insufficient vascularization cause delayed and poor wound healing. In this study, we fabricated a supramolecular host-guest gelatin (HGM) hydrogel loaded with resveratrol (Res) and histatin-1 (His-1) to suppress inflammation and promote vascularization at skin burn wound sites. The HGM hydrogel showed good properties of shear-thinning and injectability, thereby allowing easy in situ injection and fast adaption to irregular wounds. Res and His-1 were demonstrated to enhance angiogenesis in vitro using cell migration and tube formation assays based on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In an established rat burn wound model, HGM/Res/His-1 hydrogel treatment promoted wound healing by inhibiting expression of the pro-inflammatory factors of interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and increasing the expression of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (CD31). HGM/Res/His-1 hydrogel treatment showed comparable efficacy with that of the commercial dressing, Tegaderm™, and therefore shows promising potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
Trans-resveratrol, a well-known plant phenolic compound, has been intensively investigated due to its association with the so-called French paradox. However, despite its high pharmacological potential, trans-resveratrol has shown relatively low bioavailability. Trans-resveratrol is intensively metabolized in the intestine and liver, yielding metabolites that may be responsible for its high bioactivity. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the metabolism of trans-resveratrol (tRes), cis-resveratrol (cRes) and dihydroresveratrol (dhRes) in an in vitro epithelial model using Caco-2 cell lines. Obtained metabolites of tRes, cRes and dhRes were analyzed by LC/MS Q-TOF, and significant differences in the metabolism of each compound were observed. The majority of tRes was transported unchanged through the Caco-2 cells, while cRes was mostly metabolized. The main metabolite of both cis- and trans-resveratrol observed as a result of colon microbial metabolism, dhRes, was metabolized almost completely, with only traces of the unchanged molecule being found. A sulphate conjugate was identified as the main metabolite of tRes in our model, while a glucuronide conjugate was the major metabolite of cRes and dhRes. Since metabolism of simple phenolics and polyphenols plays a crucial role in their bioavailability, detailed knowledge of their transformation is of high scientific value.

Quercetin-grafted chitosan prepared by free radical grafting: characterization and evaluation of antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Journal of Food Science and Technology 2020; 57:2259-2268.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) is considered a versatile biopolymer with promising applications. However, it is not a good chain-breaking antioxidant due to the lack of H-atom donors. In this work, CS was combined with quercetin (Q), a natural antioxidant, via a free radical-mediated procedure to strengthen the antioxidant capacity. The successful formation of Q-grafted CS (Q-CS) was confirmed by ultraviolet-visible absorbance and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. After combination, the obtained Q-CS had a phenolic content of 13.9 mg QE/g Q-CS and showed a lower crystallinity and thermal stability than the native CS. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), superoxide, and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of Q-CS were higher than those of CS, illustrating that grafting with Q is an available way to improve the antioxidant capacity of CS. In addition, Q-CS showed higher minimal inhibitory concentrations against tested bacteria than CS, suggesting that combining with Q has a negative effect on the antibacterial activity of CS. Our results indicate that Q-CS may have great potential for applications in the fields of food and healthcare.

Abstract
Among polyphenols, trans-resveratrol (tRES) and trans-polydatin (tPD) exert multiple biological effects, particularly antioxidant and antiproliferative. In this work, we have investigated the interaction of tPD with three cancer-related DNA sequences able to form G-quadruplex (G4) structures, as well as with a model duplex, and compared its behaviour with tRES. Interestingly, fluorescence analysis evidenced the ability of tPD to bind all the studied DNA systems, similarly to tRES, with tRES displaying a higher ability to discriminate G4 over duplex with respect to tPD. However, neither tRES nor tPD produced significant conformational changes of the analyzed DNA upon binding, as determined by CD-titration analysis. Computational analysis and biological data confirmed the biophysical results: indeed, molecular docking evidenced the stronger interaction of tRES with the promoter of c-myc oncogene, and immunoblotting assays revealed a reduction of c-myc expression, more effective for tRES than tPD. Furthermore, in vitro assays on melanoma cells proved that tPD was able to significantly reduce telomerase activity, and inhibit cell proliferation, with tRES producing higher effects than tPD.

Abstract
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder disease associated with advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and protein glycation. The effect of polygonum cuspidatum extract (PE) on AGEs and Nε-(Carboxymethyl)-L-lysine formation, protein glycation, and diabetes was investigated. Six primary phenolics in a range of 12.36 mg/g for ellagic acid to 0.01 mg/g for piceid were determined in PE. In an intermediate-moisture-foods model, inhibition rate of PE was as high as 54.2% for AGEs and 78.9% for CML under aw 0.75. The protein glycation was also inhibited by PE. In a diabetic rat model, the levels of blood glucose, serum malondialdehyde, cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoproteins were effectively reduced by PE treatment. The antioxidation capacity (T-AOC) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were also mediated by PE. Additionally, the activates of liver function-related enzymes including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT), and glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) in diabetic rat were improved by PE.

Abstract
Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses, especially in arid regions. Such devastating constraint is converted mainly to oxidative burst. Thus, plants have to develop strategies to scavenge salt-related regenerated oxidant molecules. In the present work, fully aged plants derived from two Vitis vinifera L. cultivars, the Tunisian autochthonous tolerant genotype Razegui and the salt sensitive Syrah, were analyzed regarding their short term response to 100 mM NaCl, in hydroponic cultures. The ratio [ASA/ASA + DHA] was calculated on the basis of the oxidation of ascorbic acid (ASA) into dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) in leaves. Results proved that oxidative stress was generated. This led to the accumulation of malondialdehyde which referred to a lipid peroxidation mainly in the sensitive Syrah. In order to cope with these oxidative disturbances, trans-resveratrol as well as its glucosides trans-piceid and cis-piceid have been de novo synthesized in the sensitive variety. Razegui stilbene concentrations were presented here for the first time and unexpectedly did not show a very important variation during the salt elicitation.
