JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 332:118357. [PMID: 38763374 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118357] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Chuanminshen violaceum M. L. Sheh & R. H. Shan (CV) is used as a medicine with roots, which have the effects of benefiting the lungs, harmonizing the stomach, resolving phlegm and detoxifying. Polysaccharide is one of its main active components and has various pharmacological activities, but the structural characterization and pharmacological activities of polysaccharide from the stems and leaves parts of CV are still unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to investigate the optimal extraction conditions for ultrasound-assisted extraction of polysaccharide from CV stems and leaves, and to carry out preliminary structural analyses, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of the obtained polysaccharide and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS The ultrasonic-assisted extraction of CV stems and leaves polysaccharides was carried out, and the response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the extraction process to obtain CV polysaccharides (CVP) under the optimal conditions. Subsequently, we isolated and purified CVP to obtain the homogeneous polysaccharide CVP-AP-I, and evaluated the composition, molecular weight, and structural features of CVP-AP-I using a variety of technical methods. Finally, we tested the pharmacological activity of CVP-AP-Ⅰ in an LPS-induced model of oxidative stress and inflammation in intestinal porcine epithelial cells (IPEC-J2) and explored its possible mechanism of action. RESULTS The crude polysaccharide was obtained under optimal extraction conditions and subsequently isolated and purified to obtain CVP-AP-Ⅰ (35.34 kDa), and the structural characterization indicated that CVP-AP-Ⅰ was mainly composed of galactose, galactose, rhamnose and glucose, which was a typical pectic polysaccharide. In addition, CVP-AP-Ⅰ attenuates LPS-induced inflammation and oxidative stress by inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory factor genes and proteins and up-regulating the expression of antioxidant enzyme-related genes and proteins in IPEC-J2, by a mechanism related to the activation of the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway. CONCLUSION The results of this study suggest that the polysaccharide isolated from CV stems and leaves was a pectic polysaccharide with similar pharmacological activities as CV roots, exhibiting strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, suggesting that CV stems and leaves could possess the same traditional efficacy as CV roots, which is expected to be used in the treatment of intestinal diseases.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation on oxidative damage, apoptosis, and glutamine (Gln) transporter Alanine-Serine-Cysteine transporter 2 (ASCT2) expression in porcine small intestinal epithelial cells (IPEC-J2), and preliminarily elucidated the relationship between ASCT2 expression level and oxidative damage and apoptosis of IPEC-J2 cells. IPEC-J2 cells were treated without (control group, CON, N = 6) or with 1 μg/mL LPS (LPS group, LPS, N = 6). Cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) content, malonaldehyde (MDA), anti-oxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase [SOD], catalase [CAT], glutathione peroxidase [GSH-Px], and total anti-oxidant capacity [T-AOC]), apoptosis of IPEC-J2 cells, the expression of Caspase3, the expression of ASCT2 mRNA and ASCT2 protein was detected. The results showed that LPS stimulation of IPEC-J2 cells significantly reduced the cell viability, and anti-oxidant enzymes activity (SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px), and significantly increased LDH and MDA release. Flow cytometry results showed that LPS stimulation significantly increased the late apoptosis rate and the total apoptosis rate of IPEC-J2 cells. The immunofluorescence results showed that the fluorescence intensity of LPS stimulated IPEC-J2 cells was significantly enhanced. LPS stimulation significantly decreased the mRNA and protein expression of ASCT2 in IPEC-J2 cells. The correlation analysis showed that ASCT2 expression was negatively correlated with apoptosis, and positively correlated with the anti-oxidant capacity of IPEC-J2 cells. According to the results of this study, it can be preliminarily concluded that LPS promotes the apoptosis and oxidative injury of IPEC-J2 cells by down-regulating the expression of ASCT2.

Abstract
Amaç. Bu çalışmanın amacı, birçok biyolojik özelliği bulunan naringinin (NRG) ratlarda bakteriyel endotoksin kaynaklı ince bağırsak hasarı üzerine anti-inflamatuar ve antiapoptotik etkilerinin araştırılmasıdır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu amaçla, 40 adet dişi Wistar albino ırkı rat 4 gruba ayrılmıştır: Kontrol (hiçbir uygulama yapılmayan grup), LPS (10 mg/kg/ip lipopolisakkarit uygulanan grup), NRG (14 gün boyunca 100 mg/kg/ip naringin uygulanan grup) ve LPS+NRG (10 mg/kg/ip lipopolisakkarit uygulamasından önce 14 gün boyunca naringin uygulanan grup). Deneysel prosedürün uygulanmasından sonra, deney hayvanlarının ince barsak dokuları çıkarıldı ve doku takibi protokolüne göre hazırlandı. Barsak dokusundaki histopatolojik değişiklikleri değerlendirmek amacıyla Hematoksilen-Eozin boyaması gerçekleştirildi ve histopatolojik değişiklikler açısından deney gruplarının karşılaştırılması amacıyla hasar skorlaması yapıldı. Ayrıca, immunohistokimyasal boyamalar ile TNF- ve Kaspaz-3 ekspresyon seviyeleri belirlendi ve gruplar arasında bu proteinlerin ekspresyon seviyelerindeki değişikliklerin belirlenmesi için immunohistokimyasal boyanma yoğunluğu skorlandı.
Bulgular: LPS grubunda epitel ve Brunner bezlerinde hasar, mononüklear hücre infiltrasyonu, hemorajik alanlar belirlendi. Ayrıca TNF- ve Kaspaz-3 ekspresyonları bu grupta anlamlı bir şekilde arttı. Ancak, NRG uygulamaları bu parametreler açısından LPS+NRG grubundaki deney hayvanlarının ince barsak dokusunda güçlü bir koruyucu etki gösterdi.
Sonuç: Bu çalışma, 100 mg/kg NRG enjeksiyonunun endotoksin kaynaklı enfeksiyonun bağırsak mukozası üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerine karşı koruyucu bir ajan olarak kabul edilebileceğini ve daha ileri klinik çalışmalarda göz ardı edilmemesi gerektiğini göstermiştir.

Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a severe chronic lung illness that affects neonates, particularly premature infants. It has far-reaching consequences for infant health and their families due to intractable short- and long-term repercussions. Premature infant survival and long-term quality of life are severely harmed by BPD, which is characterized by alveolarization arrest and hypoplasia of pulmonary microvascular cells. BPD can be caused by various factors, with oxidative stress (OS) being the most common. Premature infants frequently require breathing support, which results in a hyperoxic environment in the developing lung and obstructs lung growth. OS can damage the lungs of infants by inducing cell death, inhibiting alveolarization, inducing inflammation, and impairing pulmonary angiogenesis. Therefore, antioxidant therapy for BPD relieves OS and lung injury in preterm newborns. Many antioxidants have been found in human milk, including superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione, vitamins, melatonin, short-chain fatty acids, and phytochemicals. Human milk oligosaccharides, milk fat globule membrane, and lactoferrin, all unique to human milk, also have antioxidant properties. Hence, human milk may help prevent OS injury and improve BPD prognosis in premature infants. In this review, we explored the role of OS in the pathophysiology of BPD and related signaling pathways. Furthermore, we examined antioxidants in human milk and how they could play a role in BPD to understand whether human milk could prevent and treat BPD.

Front Vet Sci 2022; 8:808233. [PMID: 35146015 PMCID: PMC8822581 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2021.808233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 12/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Baicalin is a natural plant extract with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities. However, the molecular mechanism of baicalin on oxidative stress in IPEC-J2 cells exposed to LPS remains to be unclear. In this study, LPS stimulation significantly increased Toll-like receptor 4, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukins (IL-6 and IL-1β) expression in IPEC-J2 cells, and it activated the nuclear factor (NF-κB) expression. While, baicalin exerted anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway. LPS stimulation significantly increased the levels of the oxidative stress marker MDA, inhibited the anti-oxidant enzymes catalase and superoxide dismutase, which were all reversed by baicalin pre-treatment. It was found that baicalin treatment activated the nuclear import of nuclear factor-erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) protein, and significantly increased the mRNA and protein expression of its downstream anti-oxidant factors such as heme oxygenase-1 and quinone oxidoreductase-1, which suggested that baicalin exerted anti-oxidant effects by activating the Nrf2-HO1 signaling pathway. Thus, pretreatment with baicalin inhibited LPS - induced oxidative stress and protected the normal physiological function of IPEC-J2 cells via NF-κB and Nrf2–HO1 signaling pathways.
