Immunomodulatory Effect of Phytoactive Compounds on Human Health: A Narrative Review Integrated with Bioinformatics Approach. Curr Top Med Chem 2024; 24:1075-1100. [PMID: 38551050 DOI: 10.2174/0115680266274272240321065039] [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: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunomodulation is the modification of immune responses to control disease progression. While the synthetic immunomodulators have proven efficacy, they are coupled with toxicity and other adverse effects, and hence, the efforts were to identify natural phytochemicals with immunomodulatory potential. OBJECTIVE To understand the immunomodulatory properties of various phytochemicals and investigate them in Echinacea species extracts using an in silico approach. METHODOLOGY Several scientific database repositories were searched using different keywords: "Phytochemicals," "Alkaloids," "Polyphenols," "Flavonoids," "Lectins," "Glycosides," "Tannins," "Terpenoids," "Sterols," "Immunomodulators," and "Human Immune System" without any language restriction. Additionally, the study specifically investigated the immunomodulatory properties of Echinacea species extracts using gene expression analysis of GSE12259 from NCBI-GEO through the Bioconductor package GEOquery and limma. RESULTS A total of 182 studies were comprehensively analyzed to understand immunomodulatory phytochemicals. The in silico analysis highlighted key biological processes (positive regulation of cytokine production, response to tumor necrosis factor) and molecular functions (cytokine receptor binding, receptor-ligand activity, and cytokine activity) among Echinacea species extracts contributing to immune responses. Further, it also indicated the association of various metabolic pathways, i.e., pathways in cancer, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, NF-kappa B, PI3K-Akt, TNF, MAPK, and NOD-like receptor signaling pathways, with immune responses. The study revealed various hub targets, including CCL20, CCL4, GCH1, SLC7A11, SOD2, EPB41L3, TNFAIP6, GCLM, EGR1, and FOS. CONCLUSION The present study presents a cumulative picture of phytochemicals with therapeutic benefits. Additionally, the study also reported a few novel genes and pathways in Echinacea extracts by re-analyzing GSE 12259 indicating its anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and immunomodulatory properties.

Jo HG, Seo J, Lee D. Clinical evidence construction of East Asian herbal medicine for inflammatory pain in rheumatoid arthritis based on integrative data mining approach. Pharmacol Res 2022; 185:106460. [PMID: 36152738 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2022.106460] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2022] [Revised: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that leads to a significant social burden. East Asian herbal medicine (EAHM) has long been used to treat RA. Therefore, a systematic study of how EAHM treatments can be developed into new drugs using specific materials is needed. METHODS Eleven databases containing literature in English, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese were searched for randomized controlled trials comparing EAHM with conventional medicine (CM). A meta-analysis was performed on the variable data to assess their effects on inflammatory pain. Subsequently, we searched for core materials and combinations of core material-based data mining methods. RESULTS A total of 186 trials involving 19,716 patients with RA met the inclusion criteria. According to the meta-analysis, EAHM had a significantly superior effect on continuous pain intensity, tender joint count, and response rate. Patients treated with EAHM had a significantly reduced incidence of adverse events compared with those treated with CM. Based on additional analysis of the EAHM formula data included in this meta-analysis, 21 core materials and five core herbal combinations were identified. CONCLUSION EAHM remedies for RA have the adequate potential for use as candidate materials for treating inflammatory pain in RA. The candidate core herbs evaluated in this study act on multiple pathways and are expected to provide pain relief, sustained inflammation suppression, immune regulation, and prevention of joint destruction. It seems worthwhile to conduct follow-up research on drug development using the core materials derived from this review.

PeerJ 2022; 10:e13946.

Abstract
This research aimed to establish the gas chromatography (GC) fingerprints and examine the immunomodulatory activity of the rhizome of Menispermum dauricum polysaccharides. In this study, the preparation conditions were optimized by the response surface method (RSM). GC is an effective and sensitive technique employed to measure the composition of monosaccharides; the GC fingerprints of total polysaccharides from 10 batches of the rhizome of M. dauricum (tMDP) were established, and chemometrics methods were adopted to examine the differences and similarities of tMDP from distinct regions. The similarity evaluation illustrated that the polysaccharides derived from the rhizome of M. dauricum from different origins were highly similar. The results of principal components analysis (PCA) illustrated that all the tMDPs may be integrated into one group within the 95% confidence interval, but the rhizome of M. dauricum from different origins could also be distinguished in the plot of PCA scores. Then, the major bioactive fraction MDP was purified and obtained by column chromatography. Our previous study showed that MDP exhibited significant immunomodulatory activity, but the mechanism of the in vitro immunomodulatory activity of MDP is unclear. The macrophage activation induced by MDP was abolished when Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling was knocked down by the TLR4 inhibitor. Furthermore, western blot analysis illustrated that MDP activated RAW264.7 cells through MAPKs and NFκB pathways induced by TLR4. This research offers a theoretical foundation for quality control and additional study as a potential immunomodulator of MDP.

Protective role of Achyranthes bidentata polysaccharides against chondrocyte extracellular matrix degeneration through lncRNA GAS5 in osteoarthritis. Exp Ther Med 2022; 24:532. [PMID: 35837034 PMCID: PMC9257974 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2022.11459] [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: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Achyranthes bidentata polysaccharides (ABPS) is an active ingredient of the flowering plant Achyranthes bidentata that has been previously reported to be effective for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). However, the underlying molecular mechanism remain to be fully clarified. Emerging studies have shown that the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) is involved in the pathogenesis of OA. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the potential mechanism of ABPS by focusing on its effects on the regulation of chondrocyte extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis, with particular emphasis on lncRNA GAS5. In the present study, the modified Hulth method was used to construct OA rats, which were gavaged with 400 mg/kg ABPS for 8 weeks. Histopathological changes in cartilage and subchondral bone were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin staining and Safranin O-fast green staining. In in vitro experiments, IL-1β-treated chondrocytes were infected with Lenti-lncRNA GAS5. Fluorescence in situ hybridization assay was performed to measure the expression of the lncRNA GAS5 in chondrocytes. Moreover, the relative expression level of lncRNA GAS5 in cartilage tissue and chondrocytes was detected using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Western blot analysis was used to detect protein expression levels of MMP-9, MMP-13, TIMP-1, TIMP-3 and type II collagen in cartilage tissue and chondrocytes. The results indicated that ABPS delayed the degradation of the ECM by chondrocytes in addition to reducing lncRNA GAS5 expression both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, silencing of lncRNA GAS5 expression in IL-1β-treated chondrocytes downregulated the protein expression of MMP-9 and MMP-13 whilst upregulating the expression of tissue inhibitor matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1, TIMP-3 and type II collagen. To conclude, the present study provides evidence that ABPS can inhibit the expression of lncRNA GAS5 in chondrocytes to regulate the homeostasis of ECM, which in turn may delay the occurrence of cartilage degeneration during OA.
