Abstract
Radon exposure is significantly associated with lung cancer. Radon concentration is currently reduced mainly by physical methods, but there is a lack of protective drugs or biochemical reagents for radon damage. This study aimed to explore the protective effect of polydatin (PD) on the radon-exposed injury. The results showed that PD can significantly reduce ROS level, raise SOD activity, weaken the migration ability, increase E-cad, and decrease mesenchymal cell surface markers (FN1, Vimentin, N-cad, α-SMA, and Snail) in radon-exposed epithelial cells. In vivo, PD increased the mice weight, promoted SOD activity, and decreased MDA content, the number of bullae, pulmonary septum thickness, lung collagenous fibers, and mesenchymal cell surface markers. Furthermore, PD inhibited p-PI3K, p-AKT, and p-mTOR expression. Compared with directly adding PD on radon-exposed cells, adding PD before and after radon exposure could more obviously improve the adhesion of radon-exposed cells, significantly alleviate the migration ability, and more significantly reduce mesenchyme markers and p-AKT and p-mTOR. These results indicate that PD can reduce oxidative stress, weaken epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and lung fibrosis in radon-exposed cells/mice, and have good radiation protection against radon injury. The mechanism is related to the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway.

Simultaneous effect of different chromatographic conditions on the chromatographic retention of pentapeptide derivatives (HGRFG and NPNPT). Front Chem 2023; 11:1171824. [PMID: 37143822 PMCID: PMC10151710 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2023.1171824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Oligopeptides exhibit great prospects for clinical application and its separation is of great importance in new drug development. Methods: To accurately predict the retention of pentapeptides with analogous structures in chromatography, the retention times of 57 pentapeptide derivatives in seven buffers at three temperatures and four mobile phase compositions were measured via reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The parameters ( k H A , k A , and p K a ) of the acid-base equilibrium were obtained by fitting the data corresponding to a sigmoidal function. We then studied the dependence of these parameters on the temperature (T), organic modifier composition (φ, methanol volume fraction), and polarity ( P m N parameter). Finally, we proposed two six-parameter models with (1) pH and T and (2) pH and φ or P m N as the independent variables. These models were validated for their prediction capacities by linearly fitting the predicted retention factor k-value and the experimental k-value. Results: The results showed that log k H A and log k A exhibited linear relationships with 1 / T , φ or P m N for all pentapeptides, especially for the acid pentapeptides. In the model of pH and T, the correlation coefficient (R2) of the acid pentapeptides was 0.8603, suggesting a certain prediction capability of chromatographic retention. Moreover, in the model of pH and φ or P m N , the R2 values of the acid and neutral pentapeptides were greater than 0.93, and the average root mean squared error was approximately 0.3, indicating that the k-values could be effectively predicted. Discussion: In summary, the two six-parameter models were appropriate to characterize the chromatographic retention of amphoteric compounds, especially the acid or neutral pentapeptides, and could predict the chromatographic retention of pentapeptide compounds.

Abstract
Polydatin is a natural potent stilbenoid polyphenol and a resveratrol derivative with improved bioavailability. Polydatin possesses potential biological activities predominantly through the modulation of pivotal signaling pathways involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Various imperative biological activities have been suggested for polydatin towards promising therapeutic effects, including anticancer, cardioprotective, anti-diabetic, gastroprotective, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, anti-microbial, as well as health-promoting roles on the renal system, the respiratory system, rheumatoid diseases, the skeletal system, and women's health. In the present study, the therapeutic targets, biological activities, pharmacological mechanisms, and health benefits of polydatin are reviewed to provide new insights to researchers. The need to develop further clinical trials and novel delivery systems of polydatin is also considered to reveal new insights to researchers.
