[PMID: 38795891 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132617] [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: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024]
Abstract
Platycodon grandiflorum (P. grandiflorum) has long been used as a food and traditional herbal medicine. As a food, P. grandiflorum is often transformed into pickles for consumption, and as a traditional Chinese medicine, P. grandiflorum clears the lung, nourishes the pharynx, dispels phlegm, and discharges pus. Polysaccharides are among the main active components of P. grandiflorum. Recent literature has described the preparation, identification, and pharmacological activity of these polysaccharides. Studies have shown that these polysaccharides exhibit a variety of significant biological effects in vitro and in vivo, such as immune stimulation and antioxidant, anti-liver injury, anti-apoptosis and antitumour effects. However, there is no systematic summary of the related research articles on P. grandiflorum polysaccharide, which undoubtedly brings some difficulties to the future research. The purpose of this review is to comprehensively describe research progress on the extraction, purification, structural characterization, modification, and biological activity of P. grandiflorum polysaccharides. The shortcomings of recent research are summarized, further research on their biological activity is proposed to provide new reference value for the application of P. grandiflorum polysaccharides in drugs and health products in the future.

Feng L, Shi Y, Zou J, Zhang X, Zhai B, Guo D, Sun J, Wang M, Luan F. Recent advances in Platycodon grandiflorum polysaccharides: Preparation techniques, structural features, and bioactivities. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129047. [PMID: 38171434 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.129047] [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: 10/21/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
Platycodon grandiflorum, a globally recognized medicinal and edible plant, possesses significant nutritional value and pharmacological value. In traditional Chinese medicine, it has the effects of tonifying the spleen and replenishing the Qi, moistening the lung and relieving the cough, clearing the heat and detoxifying, and relieving the pain. Accumulating evidence has revealed that the polysaccharides from P. grandiflorum (PGPs) are one of the major and representative biologically active macromolecules and have diverse biological activities, such as immunomodulatory activity, anti-inflammatory activity, anti-tumor activity, regulation of the gut microbiota, anti-oxidant activity, anti-apoptosis activity, anti-angiogenesis activity, hypoglycemic activity, anti-microbial activity, and so on. Although the polysaccharides extracted from P. grandiflorum have been extensively studied for the extraction and purification methods, structural characteristics, and pharmacological activities, the knowledge of their structures and bioactivity relationship, toxicologic effects, and pharmacokinetic profile is limited. The main purpose of the present review is to provide comprehensively and systematically reorganized information on extraction and purification, structure characterizations, and biological functions as well as toxicities of PGPs to support their therapeutic potentials and sanitarian functions. New valuable insights for future research regarding PGPs were also proposed in the fields of therapeutic agents and functional foods.

Cadmium exposure caused cardiotoxicity in common carps (Cyprinus carpio L.): miR-9-5p, oxidative stress, energetic impairment, mitochondrial division/fusion imbalance, inflammation, and autophagy. FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2023; 138:108853. [PMID: 37245677 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.108853] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 28.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/30/2023]
Abstract
Cadmium (Cd), a toxic heavy metal pollutant, is a threat to human and eatable fish health. Common carps are widely cultivated and eaten by humans. However, there are no reports about Cd-damaged common carp hearts. Our experiment attempted to investigate the cardiotoxicity of Cd to common carps by establishing a common carp Cd exposure model. Our results showed that Cd injured hearts. Moreover, Cd treatment induced autophagy via miR-9-5p/Sirt1/mTOR/ULK1 pathway. Cd exposure caused oxidant/antioxidant imbalance and oxidative stress; and led to energetic impairment. Energetic impairment partook in oxidative stress-mediated autophagy through AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 pathway. Furthermore, Cd caused mitochondrial division/fusion imbalance and resulted in inflammatory injury via NF-κB-COX-2-PTGEs and NF-κB-COX-2-TNF-α pathways. Oxidative stress mediated mitochondrial division/fusion imbalance, further induced inflammation and autophagy via OPA1/NF-κB-COX-2-TNF-α-Beclin1 and OPA1/NF-κB-COX-2-TNF-α/P62 pathways under Cd treatment. Taken together, miR-9-5p, oxidative stress, energetic impairment, mitochondrial division/fusion imbalance, inflammation, and autophagy participated in the mechanism of Cd-cardiotoxicity to common carps. Our study revealed harmful effect of Cd on hearts, and provided new information for researches of environmental pollutant toxicity.
