Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dihydromyricetin (DMY), also called Ampelopsin, which was extracted from Ampelopsis grossedentata, has been demonstrated to have a protective effect against cell oxidative injury and cell apoptosis in vitro. In the present study, we tried to study the role of DMY on apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Apoptotic cells were detected by Hematoxylin and Eosin (H.E.) staining, Hoechst 33342 staining, and Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate binding assay. The intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was estimated through fluorescence assay. The mRNA and protein expression of Caspase-3, Caspase-9, Bcl-2, and Bax were determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blot. RESULTS The results showed that the pretreatment of VSMCs with DMY not only significantly increased cell viability, reduced intracellular ROS release, alleviated the morphological changes of apoptosis, and decreased the apoptosis rate, but also upregulated Bcl-2 expression and downregulated Caspase-3, Caspase-9, Bax expression, and ultimately attenuated the H2O2-stimulated apoptosis. CONCLUSION The inhibition of DMY on VSMC apoptosis may be mediated by ROS scavenging and the activation of the mitochondrial apoptotic signaling pathway.

Abstract
CONTEXT Cordycepin (COR), from Cordyceps militaris L., (Cordycipitaceae), is a valuable agent with immense health benefits. OBJECTIVE The protective effects of COR in ageing-associated oxidative and apoptosis events in vivo and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-exposed spermatogenesis gene alterations in TM3 Leydig cells was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into young control (YC), aged control (AC) and COR treated (COR-20) aged groups. COR-20 group received daily doses of COR (20 mg/kg) for 6 months. Cell viability and hormone levels were analysed by MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] and enzyme immunoassay kits with COR treated at 1, 5, and 10 μg/mL. Oxidative enzymes, spermatogenic, and apoptotic expression in testis tissues were evaluated by Western blotting and real-time RT-PCR. RESULTS COR treatment (1, 5, and 10 μg/mL) significantly (p < 0.05 ∼ p < 0.001) inhibited the H2O2-induced decrease in the percentage of viable cells (from 63.27% to 71.25%, 85.67% and 93.97%, respectively), and reduced the malondialdehyde (MDA) content (from 4.28 to 3.98, 3.14 and 1.78 nM MDA/mg protein, respectively). Further, the decreased antioxidant enzymes (glutathione-S-transferase mu5, glutathione peroxidase 4 and peroxiredoxin 3), spermatogenesis-related factors (nectin-2 and inhibin-α) and testosterone levels in H2O2-exposed TM3 cells were significantly (p < 0.05 ∼ p < 0.001) ameliorated by COR. In aged rats, COR (20 mg/kg) restored the altered enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidative status and attenuated the apoptotic p53 and Bax/Bcl-2 expression significantly (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION COR might be developed as a potential agent against ageing-associated and oxidative stress-induced male infertility.

Abstract
Preparation of sufficient mouse Leydig cells (LCs) with high purity is a prerequisite for investigations of the biological/pathological functions of LCs in mouse models. Density gradient centrifugation based on discontinuous Percoll gradients is an effective method (defined as regular method) for LC isolation. In this study, we developed two modified methods for LC isolation and compared their performance with that of the regular method. Modified method 1 integrated the crude LCs into the 50% Percoll solution before centrifugation. Modified method 2 sequentially used 50 and 60% Percoll solutions to isolate LCs. The purity of LCs was approximately 88.4, 91.3, and 79.7% derived from the regular, modified 1, and modified 2 methods, respectively. The yields of LCs in the same respective order were approximately 1.7 × 105, 3.9 × 105, and 11.9 × 105 cells per 108 interstitial cells input. Modified method 1 attained higher purity and yields than those of the regular method. Although the purity of LCs was relatively low for modified method 2, it could be used before further purification by, for example, fluorescence-activated or magnetic-activated cell sorting, owing to its simplicity and high yields. Therefore, our study provided alternative methods to facilitate LC isolation in mice.

Abstract
Objectives Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is an endogenous hormone that acts as a ligand for several cellular receptors. An age-dependent decline in circulating levels of DHEA is linked to changes in various physiological functions. In gynecological clinical practice, DHEA is commonly prescribed to induce ovulation. Some clinical studies report a positive association between high serum concentrations of DHEA and an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer. However, the in vitro physiological effects of DHEA on ovarian cancerous cells have not been explored thus far. In this study, we aimed to investigate the physiological effects of DHEA treatment (0-200 μM, 24-72 hours) on MDAH-2774 human ovarian cancer cell line and primary HuVeC human endothelial cells. Materials and Methods The physiological effects of DHEA treatment (0-200 μM, 24-72 hours) on MDAH-2774 human ovarian cancer cell line and primary HuVeC human endothelial cells were investigated with the (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) test, acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining, and scratch assay. Results DHEA treatment promoted proliferation of the MDAH-2774 cancer cell line in a dose-dependent manner (r=0.6906, p<0.0001, for 24 hours) (r=0.6802, p<0.0001, for 48 hours) (r=0.7969, p<0.0001, for 72 hours). In contrast, DHEA inhibited proliferation of the primary HuVeC cells (r=0.9490, p<0.0001, for 24 hours) (r=0.9533, p<0.0001, for 48 hours) (r=0.9584, p<0.0001, for 72 hours). In agreement with these observations, DHEA treatment resulted in a dose-dependent increase in the number of necrotic cells in the primary HuVeC cells (r=0.97, p<0.0001). However, the number of necrotic or apoptotic cells did not change significantly when the MDAH-2774 cells was exposed to DHEA. Moreover, we found that DHEA treatment reduced the migration rate of HuVeC cells in a dose-dependent manner (r=0.9868, p<0.0001), whereas only a slight increase was observed in the MDAH-2774 ovarian cancer cell line (r=0.8938, p<0.05). Conclusion Our findings suggest that DHEA promotes the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. Moreover, DHEA induced necrosis and inhibited proliferation in endothelial cells. Although mechanistic evidence is required, our preliminary findings imply that exposure to high doses of DHEA may be associated with an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer.

Dehydroepiandrostenedione sulphate (DHEAS) levels predict high risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in subclinical hypothyroidism. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0246195. [PMID: 33592022 PMCID: PMC7886134 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0246195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2020] [Accepted: 01/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The presence of rheumatism is well recognized in primary hypothyroidism. Dehydroepiandrstenedione sulphate (DHEAS) is associated with rheumatological diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This study aims to explore relationship between joint pains and DHEAS levels in primary hypothyroidism. METHODS Retrospective study of 78 subjects with subclinical hypothyroidism, with TSH within reference range. The joint pains were evaluated by European Union League against rheumatism (EULAR-CSA) score and compared with serum DHEAS, RA factor, Anti-TPO antibody, highly sensitive C-recative protein (hsCRP), vitamin D levels. RESULT DHEAS levels <43.6 mcg/dl significantly predicted clinical features of pre RA as assessed by EULAR CSA criteria with acceptable specificity (82%). EULAR CSA score is fairly valid in assessing imminent RA in primary hypothyroidism. CONCLUSION Lower DHEAS predicts clinical features of imminent RA in subjects with primary hypothyroidism. This is akin to low DHEAS seen in many rheumatological disease with possibly similar mechanism. Another possibility is low DHEAS alters hepato-hypothalamo pituitary adrenal axis in presense of cytokines and induces a hitherto unrecognized state of pre rheumatoid arthritis like syndrome. Future studies on primary hypothyroidism should focus on role of lower DHEAS levels in inducing symptoms of fatigue and joint pains.

Abstract
This study established an oligoasthenospermic rat model using tripterygium glycosides (TGs) and investigated the mechanism by which Qilin pills (QLPs) ameliorate reproductive hypofunction. Thirty-two male Sprague Dawley rats were allocated to four equal-sized groups: (1) the control group received continuous physiological levels of saline; (2) the oligoasthenospermia model group was induced with TGs by daily intragastric administration for 28 days; (3 and 4) oligoasthenospermic rats were treated intragastrically with low dose (1.62 g kg-1 d-1 ) and high dose (3.24 g kg-1 d-1 ) of QLPs once daily for 60 days. The QLP-treated rats showed a marked increase (p < .05) in testicular mass, testicular index and semen parameters compared with the untreated rats. Histopathologically, the QLP-treated groups exhibited restored seminiferous tubules in contrast to the model group. Reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde levels were dramatically decreased (p < .05) in the testes of the QLP-treated rats. QLP treatment partly reverted (p < .05) the circulatory levels of reproductive hormones (FSH, LH, testosterone, prolactin and SHBG) and hepatic and renal function (AST, Cr and urea). Our results showed that oral QLP treatment had a curative effect on the testicular mass, sperm quality, testicular pathomorphology, antioxidants, plasmatic hormones, and liver and renal function of rats.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of individual or combined doses of dehydro-epiandrosterone (DHEA) and quercetin in ameliorating some biochemical indices in liver of CuO-NPs intoxicated-rats. CuO-NPs (50 nm) was administered as a daily oral dose 100 mg/kg for 2 weeks to rats followed by the fore-mentioned antioxidants for 1 month. We highlighted the therapeutic effect of DHEA and quercetin against CuO-NPs toxicity through monitoring the alteration of liver enzyme activity, antioxidant defense mechanism, necrosis, apoptosis, histopathological alterations, and DNA damage. The rats given CuO-NPs only showed marked significant elevation in liver enzymes, alteration in oxidant-antioxidant balance and an elevation in the hepatic inflammatory marker; tumor necrosis factor-α. Additionally, over expression of both caspase-3 and Bax proteins were detected. Whereas, Bcl2 was down regulated and DNA fragmentation was elevated. Moreover, Histopathological examination of hepatic tissue reinforced the previous biochemical results. Co-treatment with either DHEA, quercetin alone or in combination ameliorated the deviated parameters with variable degrees against CuO-NPs toxicity in rat. In conclusion, our findings suggested that the aforementioned treatments exert therapeutic effect in CuO-NPs toxicity by diminishing oxidative stress, mRNA gene expression and hepatic tissues DNA damage.

GABAergic system's Injuries Induced by Sodium Sulfite in Caenorhabditis elegans Were Prevented by the Anti-Oxidative Properties of Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate. Neurotox Res 2020; 38:447-460.

Abstract
Several pathophysiological processes involve Hypoxia conditions, where the nervous system is affected as well. We postulate that the GABAergic system is especially sensitive. Furthermore, drugs improving the resistance to hypoxia have been investigated, such as the neurosteroid dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) which has shown beneficial effects in hypoxic processes in mammals; however, at the cellular level, its exact mechanism of action has yet to be fully elucidated. Here, we used a chemical hypoxia model through sodium sulfite (SS) exposure in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), a nematode whose response to hypoxia involves pathways and cellular processes conserved in mammals, and that allows study the direct effect of DHEAS without its conversion to sex hormones. This work aimed to determine the effect of DHEAS on damage to the GABAergic system associated with SS exposure in C. elegans. Worms were subjected to nose touch response (Not Assay) and observed in epifluorescence microscopy. DHEAS decreased the shrinkage response of Not Assay and the level of damage in GABAergic neurons on SS-exposed worms. Also, the enhanced nuclear localization of DAF-16 and consequently the overexpression of chaperone HSP-16.2 by hypoxia were significantly reduced in SS + DHEAS exposed worms. As well, DHEAS increased the survival rate of worms exposed to hydrogen peroxide. These results suggest that hypoxia-caused damage over the GABAergic system was prevented at least partially by DHEAS, probably through non-genomic mechanisms that involve its antioxidant properties related to its chemical structure.

Abstract
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) possess anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and immune-regulating function in animals and humans, but there is not enough information about the mechanisms underlying its beneficial effects. The present study investigated the effect and mechanism of DHEA in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mice. The findings showed that DHEA relieved the decreasing of body weight, the increasing of disease activity index, the enhancing of spleen weight, the shortening of colon length and the rising of myeloperoxidase activity; meanwhile, histopathological analysis showed that DHEA maintained a relatively intact structure of colon in DSS-induced colitis mice. DHEA decreased the malondialdehyde content, superoxide dismutase activity and inducible nitric oxide synthase protein level; meanwhile, DHEA also inhibited the secretion of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 in DSS-induced colitis mice. Importantly, our results showed that DHEA blocked the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways; and it inhibited the Nod-like receptor protein 3 inflammasome activation in DSS-induced colitis mice. Furthermore, DHEA markedly promoted the intestinal barrier function by up-regulation zonula occludens-1 expression level. The 16S rDNA gene sequencing demonstrated that DHEA decreased the Pseudomonas abundance in DSS-induced colitis mice. In conclusion, our data demonstrated that DHEA reduces oxidative damage through regulating antioxidant enzyme activity; inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines production by blocking the activation of p38 MAPK and NF-κB signal pathway; protects colon barrier integrity via increasing tight junction protein expression and modulating gut microbiota taxa; all that finally alleviates DSS-induced experimental colitis in mice.
