Lugtmeijer C, Bowtell JL, O’Leary M. Tissue-Level Effect of Andrographis and Ashwagandha Metabolites on Metabolic and Inflammatory Gene Expression in Skeletal Muscle and Adipose Tissue: An Ex Vivo/In Vitro Investigation. Nutrients 2024; 16:2291. [PMID: 39064738 PMCID: PMC11279956 DOI: 10.3390/nu16142291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Adipose tissue and skeletal muscle dysfunction play a central role in cardiometabolic morbidity. Ashwagandha and Andrographis are purported to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, but this is based on exposure of cells to the parent compounds ignoring phytochemical absorption and metabolism. We explored the anti-inflammatory/antioxidant effects of ashwagandha and Andrographis in ex vivo human models of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. Healthy participants supplemented with 2000 mg/day Andrographis (n = 10) or 1100 mg/day ashwagandha (n = 10) for 28 days. Sera collected pre (D0) and post (D28) supplementation were pooled by timepoint and added to adipose explant (AT) and primary human myotube (SKMC) culture media (15% v/v) for treatment. A Taqman panel of 56 genes was used to quantify these. In AT, treatment with ashwagandha sera decreased the expression of genes involved in antioxidant defence and inflammatory response (CCL5, CD36, IL6, IL10, ADIPOQ, NFEL2, UCP2, GPX3, GPX4; geometric 95% CI for fold change > 1) and altered the expression of genes involved in fatty acid metabolism. In SKMC, ashwagandha sera altered FOXO1 and SREBF1 expression. Andrographis sera decreased IL18 and SERPINEA3 expression in AT. This physiologically relevant in vitro screening characterises the effects of ashwagandha in AT to guide future clinical trials.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a kind of severe immune-mediated systemic skin disorder, becoming a worldwide public health concern. Daturataturin A (DTA), a withanolide compound, exerts excellent anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative properties. The objective of this study is to elucidate the effect of DTA on psoriasis and its potential mechanism. We established psoriasis-like keratinocytes model by stimulating HaCaT cells with M5 cocktail cytokines including Interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-22, oncostatin M, IL-1α, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), followed by intervention with DTA. The potential effects and mechanisms of DTA on psoriasis were evaluated in vitro. DTA was found to be able to inhibit hyperproliferation, promote apoptosis, decrease the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, downregulate keratin expression, and improve lipid metabolism via regulating the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway by M5 cocktail cytokines stimulation in HaCaT cells. DTA ameliorated lipid metabolism of psoriasis and exerted the potential anti-psoriasis effects by regulating PPAR pathway in vitro, suggesting that DTA may act as a new therapeutic agent for psoriasis.

Abstract
Suaeda glauca, a halophyte in the Amaranthaceae family, exhibits remarkable resilience to high salt and alkali stresses despite the absence of salt glands or vesicles in its leaves. While there is growing pharmacological interest in S. glauca, research on its secondary metabolites remains limited. In this study, chemical constituents of the aerial parts of S. glauca were identified using 1D- and 2D-NMR experiments, and its biological activity concerning hair loss was newly reported. Eight compounds, including alkaloids (1~3), flavonoids (4~6), and phenolics (7 and 8), were isolated. The compounds, except the flavonoids, were isolated for the first time from S. glauca. In the HPLC chromatogram, quercetin-3-O-β-d-glucoside, kaempferol-3-O-β-d-glucoside, and kaempferol were identified as major constituents in the extract of S. glauca. Additionally, the therapeutic potential of the extract of S. glauca and the isolated compounds 1~8 on the expressions of VEGF and IGF-1, as well as the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, were evaluated in human follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Among the eight compounds, compound 4 was the most potent in terms of increasing the expression of VEGF and IGF-1 and the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin. These findings suggest that S. glauca extract and its compounds are potential new candidates for preventing or treating hair loss.

Abstract
Tartary buckwheat, a gluten-free pseudocereal, has received considerable attention owing to its unique nutritional ingredients and beneficial health effects such as anti-tumor, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and hepatoprotective activities. Pharmacokinetic and metabolite profiling have been preliminarily assessed for Tartary buckwheat extracts. However, its metabolites have not yet been characterized in vivo after co-administration with ethanol when Tartary buckwheat extracts are used for the treatment of alcoholic liver disease. In this paper, a Q-Exactive orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometer was employed to identify the metabolites of Tartary buckwheat extracts in rat biological samples. Compared with previous metabolite profiling results, a total of 26 novel metabolites were found in rat biological samples, including 11, 10, 2 and 5 novel metabolites in rat plasma, bile, urine and feces, respectively, after oral co-administration of 240 mg/kg Tartary buckwheat extracts with ethanol (42%, v/v). The major metabolic pathways of the constituents in Tartary buckwheat extracts involved hydroxylation, methylation, glucuronidation, acetylation and sulfation. Quercetin and its metabolites may be the pharmacological material basis of Tartary buckwheat for the protective effect against alcoholic liver injury. The research enriched in vivo metabolite profiling of Tartary buckwheat extracts, which provided experimental data for a comprehensive understanding and rational use of Tartary buckwheat against alcoholic liver disease.

Abstract
Excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been regarded as a major contributor of pathogenesis in neurodegenerative diseases. N- trans-feruloyltyramine (NTF), an alkaloid isolated from several plants, has demonstrated an ability to be a potent antioxidant. In this study, the antioxidative and anti-apoptotic properties of NTF extracted from the stems of Polyalthia suberosa were investigated in the human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH. NTF at concentrations ranging from 10 µM to 500 µM were not toxic to cells and reduced intracellular ROS levels significantly. Furthermore, pre-treatment of NTF significantly decreased H2O2-induced ROS generation and attenuated H2O2-mediated cytotoxicity. An increase in the expression of Bax and activated caspase-3 and reduction of Bcl-2 mediated by H2O2 was reversed by pre-treating the cells with 100 µM NTF. Likewise, NTF suppressed the increase of caspase-3 activity induced by H2O2. In conclusion, the findings reveal that NTF improves H2O2-induced intracellular ROS generation and decreases apoptosis. These protective effects of NTF could be useful for oxidative stress-related neurodegenerative conditions.

Abstract
Astragalus mongholicus Bunge (Fabaceae) is an ancient Chinese herbal medicine, and Astragalus saponins are the main active components, which have a wide range of biological activities, such as immunomodulation, antioxidation, and neuroprotection. In this study, silver nanoparticles obtained by sodium borohydride reduction were used as the enhanced substrate to detect astragaloside I (1), astragaloside II (2), astragaloside III (3), astragaloside IV (4), isoastragaloside I (5), and isoastragaloside II (6) in the phloem, xylem, and cork by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). In the SERS spectrum of Astragalus slices, the characteristic peaks were observed at 562, 671, 732, 801, 836, 950, 1,026, 1,391, and 1,584 cm−1, among which 950 cm−1 and 1,391 cm−1 were strong SERS signals. Subsequently, the metabolites of the six kinds of Astragalus saponins were identified by UPLC/ESI/Q-TOF-MS. Totally, 80, 89, and 90 metabolites were identified in rat plasma, urine, and feces, respectively. The metabolism of saponins mainly involves dehydration, deacetylation, dihydroxylation, dexylose reaction, deglycosylation, methylation, deacetylation, and glycol dehydration. Ten metabolites (1-M2, 1-M11, 2-M3, 2-M12, 3-M14, 4-M9, 5-M2, 5-M17, 6-M3, and 6-M12) were identified by comparison with reference standards. Interestingly, Astragalus saponins 1, 2, 5, and 6 were deacetylated to form astragaloside IV (4), which has been reported to have good pharmacological neuroprotective, liver protective, anticancer, and antidiabetic effects. Six kinds of active Astragalus saponins from different parts of Astragalus mongholicus were identified by SERS spectroscopy. Six kinds of active Astragalus saponins from different parts of Astragalus mongholicus were identified by SERS spectrum, and the metabolites were characterized by UPLC/ESI/Q-TOF-MS, which not only provided a new method for the identification of traditional Chinese medicine but also provided a theoretical basis for the study of the pharmacodynamic substance basis of Astragalus mongholicus saponins.

Abstract
Despite the latest pursuit to discover novel phenolic compounds in hempseed and its biological properties, it remains a mystery whether they can be absorbed in the human body. Extrusion treatment and extraction of the free phenolic fraction significantly (p < 0.05) improved human Caco-2 intestinal cell absorption for hempseed hull lignanamides including cannabisin B (Papp value of 1.35 × 10-5 ± 1.0 × 10-6) as compared to the bound fraction of raw hull (Papp value of 2.82 × 10-6 ± 5.2 × 10-7). Co-supplementation of the flavonoid naringenin (20 μM) further improved these absorption rates. Higher cellular antioxidant activity was observed in the free extraction fractions. Treatment with the free phenolic fraction of extruded hempseed hull (100 mg/mL) alleviated tert-butyl hydroperoxide's (25 μM) negative effects on cell viability, intracellular malondialdehyde levels, apoptosis induction, glutathione S-transferase, and glutathione levels. RNA-sequencing with the limma method unveiled a total of 2795 differentially expressed genes in 21 day-old Caco-2 intestinal cells, suggesting the changes in cell metabolism after exposure to extruded hempseed hull extract. This study could promote the utilization of extrusion technology to improve the absorption and antioxidant capacities of bioactive phenolics in plant food processing byproducts.

Abstract
Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) Calyx is a medicinal and edible traditional Chinese medicine with anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-cancer properties. However, the pharmacodynamic components and metabolic characteristics remain unclear. Amide and phenylpropanoid were the two main constituents, and four amides, including n-trans-p-coumaroyltyramine (1), n-trans-p-coumaroyloctopamine (2), n-trans-p-coumaroylnoradrenline (3), n-trans-feruloyloctopamine (4), and a phenylpropanoid neochlorogenic acid (5) were selected. In this study, these five representative compounds showed cytotoxic activities on A549, HCT116, and MCF7 cells. In addition, the metabolites of 1–5 from the eggplant calyx in rats were identified. In total, 23, 37, 29, and 17 metabolites were separately characterized in rat plasma, urine, feces, and livers, by UPLC/ESI/qTOF-MS analysis. The metabolism of amides and phenylpropanoid was mainly involved in hydroxylation, methylation, glucuronidation, or sulfation reactions. Two hydroxylated metabolites (1-M2 and 2-M3) were clearly identified by comparison with reference standards. Rat liver microsome incubation experiments indicated that P450 enzymes could hydroxylate 1–5, and the methylation reaction of the 7-hydroxyl was also observed. This is the first study on the in vivo metabolism of these compounds, which lays a foundation for follow-up studies on pharmacodynamic evaluations and mechanisms.

Abstract
Tyramine-derived hydroxycinnamic acid amines (HCAAT) are naturally occurring group of secondary metabolites present in various plant genera, such as Allium, Cannabis, Lycium, Polyganotum and Solanum. It belongs to the neutral, water-insoluble compounds and plays a role in plant growth, development and defence mechanism. The past two decades have seen a shift in the study of HCAAT from its role in plants to its potent biological activities. This review highlights the sources, roles in plants, biosynthetic pathways, metabolic engineering and chemical synthesis of HCAAT. The biological properties of HCAAT remain the focus in this paper, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-melanogenesis and neuroprotective properties. The effects of food processing and technology on HCAAT are also discussed. Given the current research gap, this review proposes future directions on the study of HCAAT, as well as its potential applications in food and pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Withanolides from six parts (flower, leaf, stem, root, seed, and peel) of Datura metel L. (D metel L.) obtained from ten production areas in China were identified and quantified by UPLC-MS/MS. A total of 85 withanolides were characterized for the first time using the UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS system. Additionally, a simultaneous, rapid and accurate measurement method was developed for the determination of 22 bioactive withanolides from ten production areas with the UPLC-Q-TRAP-MS/MS system. The results show the total withanolide content is highest in the leaves (155640.0 ng/g) and lowest in the roots (14839.8 ng/g). Compared with other production areas, the total content of plants from Dujiangyan was the highest at 82013.9 ng/g (value range of ten areas: 82013.9–42278.5 ng/g). The results also show significant differences in the distribution of withanolides in the different plant parts, as well as across different production areas. This is a breakthrough report providing a simultaneous qualitative and quantitative analysis of 22 withanolides in D. metel L. It could be the basis for the more rational use of various parts of D. metel L., and the expansion of medicinal resources. This work also lays a solid foundation for research on the quality control of D. metel L.

Abstract
Datura metel L. has been frequently used in Chinese traditional medicine. However, little is known on the chemical composition and in vivo metabolism of its seeds. In this study, using the strategy "chemical analysis, metabolism of single representative compounds, and metabolism of extract at clinical dosage" that we propose here, 42 constituents were characterized from D. metel seeds water extract. Furthermore, the metabolic pathways of 13 representative bioactive compounds of D. metel seeds were studied in rats after the oral administration of D. metel seeds water extract at a clinical dosage (0.15 g/kg). These included three withanolides, two withanolide glucosides, four amides, one indole, one triterpenoid, one steroid, and one sesquiterpenoid, and with regard to phase II metabolism, hydroxylation, (de)methylation, and dehydrogenation reactions were dominant. Furthermore, the metabolism of D. metel seeds water extract provided to rats at a clinical dosage was investigated by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry based on the above metabolic pathways. Sixty-one compounds were detected in plasma, 83 in urine, and 76 in fecal samples. Among them, withanolides exhibited higher plasma exposure than the other types. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic study on the chemical profiling and metabolite identification of D. metel seeds, including all compounds instead of single constituents.
