Abstract
The overuse and misuse of antibiotics in poultry feeds increase the total cost of production and compromise the quality of poultry products, which poses a serious threat to human health. Globally, health-conscious poultry consumers have long called for the alternate use of natural additives to mitigate the development and spread of multidrug resistant pathogens. Phytogenic plants, such as green tea (Camellia sinensis) products, contain putative nutraceuticals with antibiotic properties that can be used as alternatives to therapeutic, metaphylactic, prophylactic, and growth-promoting antibiotics. However, there are limited studies in the literature that have evaluated the potential of green tea (GT) products when used as replacements to in-feed antibiotics, with most studies focusing on their potential as sources of dietary nutrients in poultry feeds. Thus, this review paper discusses the potential of GT products to replace various antibiotics in poultry diets while presenting GT bioactive substances that can improve the growth performance, carcass and meat quality traits, and health status of the birds. We postulate that the utilisation of GT products in place of antibiotics could deliver sustainable, organic poultry production systems that would contribute significantly to global food and nutrition security.

Abstract
Purpose The proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1 is implicated in corneal ulceration and promotes collagen degradation by corneal fibroblasts cultured in a three-dimensional (3D) collagen gel. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the principal polyphenol in extracts of green tea, has various beneficial health effects, some of which appear to be mediated through direct or indirect inhibition of protease activity. We therefore examined the effect of EGCG on IL-1β-induced collagen degradation by corneal fibroblasts embedded in a collagen gel. Methods Human corneal fibroblasts were cultured in a type I collagen gel. Collagen degradation was assessed by measurement of hydroxyproline in acid hydrolysates of culture supernatants. The expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) was examined by real-time and RT-PCR analysis and by fibrin zymography, and that of the collagenase matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) was detected by immunoblot analysis. Results EGCG inhibited IL-1β-induced, plasminogen-dependent collagen degradation by corneal fibroblasts in a concentration-dependent manner. It also attenuated the IL-1β-induced expression of uPA at both mRNA and protein levels. EGCG inhibited the IL-1β-induced conversion of exogenous plasminogen to plasmin as well as the plasminogen-dependent activation of pro-MMP1 in the 3D cultures without a substantial effect on pro-MMP1 abundance. Conclusions EGCG inhibits IL-1β-induced collagen degradation by corneal fibroblasts, with this effect likely being mediated by suppression of the upregulation of uPA, the uPA-mediated conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, and the plasmin-mediated activation of pro-MMP1. EGCG thus warrants further investigation as a potential treatment for corneal ulcer.

Abstract
Physical interactions of four major green tea catechin derivatives with cell membrane models were systemically investigated. Catechins with the galloyl moiety caused the aggregation of small unilamellar vesicles and an increase in the surface pressure of lipid monolayers, while those without did not. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed that, in a low concentration regime (≤10 μM), catechin molecules are not significantly incorporated into the hydrophobic core of lipid membranes as substitutional impurities. Partition coefficient measurements revealed that the galloyl moiety of catechin and the cationic quaternary amine of lipids dominate the catechin-membrane interaction, which can be attributed to the combination of electrostatic and cation-π interactions. Finally, we shed light on the mechanical consequence of catechin-membrane interactions using the Fourier-transformation of the membrane fluctuation. Surprisingly, the incubation of cell-sized vesicles with 1 μM galloyl catechins, which is comparable to the level in human blood plasma after green tea consumption, significantly increased the bending stiffness of the membranes by a factor of more than 60, while those without the galloyl moiety had no detectable influence. Atomic force microscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy suggest that the membrane stiffening is mainly attributed to the adsorption of galloyl catechin aggregates to the membrane surfaces. These results contribute to our understanding of the physical and thus the generic functions of green tea catechins in therapeutics, such as cancer prevention.

Abstract
A major green tea component, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), has been proven protective against lethal sepsis in experimental setting, but its protective mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we provide evidence to support EGCG's capacities in stimulating G-CSF production and neutrophilia in vivo. In an animal model of sepsis, EGCG significantly elevated peritoneal levels of G-CSF and several chemokines (e.g., MCP-1/CCL2 and MIP-1γ/CCL9), and consequently increased peritoneal neutrophil numbers (neutrophilia) at a late stage. In vitro, EGCG divergently affected HMGB1-mediated production of several chemokines: reducing CXCL15 and RANTES/CCL5, but elevating G-CSF and MIP-1α/CCL3 production by peritoneal macrophages. Similarly, it significantly induced the expression and secretion of G-CSF and MIP-1α/CCL3 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Based on our preliminary data, it may be important to search for anti-inflammatory and G-CSF-stimulating agents for the clinical management of inflammatory diseases.

Novel Mechanisms of Herbal Therapies for Inhibiting HMGB1 Secretion or Action. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2015; 2015:456305.

Abstract
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is an evolutionarily conserved protein and is constitutively expressed in virtually all types of cells. In response to microbial infections, HMGB1 is secreted from activated immune cells to orchestrate rigorous inflammatory responses. Here we review the distinct mechanisms by which several herbal components inhibit HMGB1 action or secretion, such as by modulating inflammasome activation, autophagic degradation, or endocytic uptake. In light of the reciprocal interactions between these cellular processes, it is possible to develop more effective combinational herbal therapies for the clinical management of inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Sepsis, which refers to a systemic inflammatory response syndrome resulting from a microbial infection, represents the leading cause of death in intensive care units. The pathogenesis of sepsis remains poorly understood although it is attributable to dysregulated immune responses orchestrated by innate immune cells that are sequentially released early (e.g., tumor necrosis factor(TNF), interleukin-1(IL-1), and interferon-γ(IFN-γ)) and late (e.g., high mobility group box 1(HMGB1)) pro-inflammatory mediators. As a ubiquitous nuclear protein, HMGB1 can be passively released from pathologically damaged cells, thereby converging infection and injury on commonly dysregulated inflammatory responses. We review evidence that supports extracellular HMGB1 as a late mediator of inflammatory diseases and discuss the potential of several Chinese herbal components as HMGB1-targeting therapies. We propose that it is important to develop strategies for specifically attenuating injury-elicited inflammatory responses without compromising the infection-mediated innate immunity for the clinical management of sepsis and other inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is an evolutionarily conserved protein, and is constitutively expressed in virtually all types of cells. Infection and injury converge on common inflammatory responses that are mediated by HMGB1 secreted from immunologically activated immune cells or passively released from pathologically damaged cells. Herein we review the emerging molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)-induced HMGB1 secretion, and summarize many HMGB1-targeting therapeutic strategies for the treatment of infection- and injury-elicited inflammatory diseases. It may well be possible to develop strategies that specifically attenuate damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs)-mediated inflammatory responses without compromising the PAMPs-mediated innate immunity for the clinical management of infection- and injury-elicited inflammatory diseases.
