Screening of the active Ingredients in Huanglian Jiedu decoction through amide bond-Immobilized magnetic nanoparticle-assisted cell membrane chromatography. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:1087404.

Abstract
Introduction: The Huanglian Jiedu decoction (HLJDD) is a Chinese herbal formula that exerts neuroprotective effects by alleviating oxidative stress injuries and may potentially be prescribed for treating Alzheimer's disease; however, its active ingredients have not yet been identified. Cell membrane chromatography is a high-throughput method for screening active ingredients, but traditional cell membrane chromatography requires multiple centrifugation steps, which affects its separation efficiency. Magnetic nanoparticles are unparalleled in solid-liquid separation and can overcome the shortcomings of traditional cell membrane chromatography. Methods: In this study, the neuroprotective effects of the components of HLJDD were screened through a novel magnetic nanoparticle-assisted cell membrane chromatography method. Magnetic nanoparticles and cell membranes were stably immobilized by amide bonds. Magnetic bead (MB)-immobilized cell membranes of HT-22 cells were incubated with the HLJDD extract to isolate specific binding components. The specific binding components were then identified by ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC)-Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid MS after solid-phase extraction. The bioactivity of these components was analyzed in an HT-22 cellular model of glutamate-induced injury. Results and Discussion: The preparation method of the composite of cell membrane and MBs has the advantages of simple preparation and no introduction of toxic organic reagents. MBs not only provide support for cell membranes, but also greatly improve the separation efficiency compared with traditional cell membrane chromatography. Fifteen of these components were found to specifically bind to the cell membranes, and seven of them were confirmed to reduce varying degrees of glutamate-induced toxicity in HT-22 cells. In conclusion, our findings suggest that the amide bond-based immobilization of magnetic nanoparticles on cell membranes, along with solid-phase extraction and UPLC, is an effective method for isolating and discovering the bioactive components of traditional Chinese medicines.

Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10040514. [PMID: 33806207 PMCID: PMC8065416 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10040514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Revised: 03/21/2021] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The skin is an important organ in the human body that protects the body from environmentally hazardous substances. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause inflammatory reactions and degradation of the extracellular matrix leading to skin aging and various cutaneous lesions. This study evaluated the potential of isoflavones isolated from Maclura tricuspidata fruit to prevent TNF-α-induced skin inflammation in normal human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). It focused on alpinumisoflavone (AIF) that suppressed the accumulation of ROS and nitric oxide (NO) in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-treated HDFs. AIF inhibited the TNF-α-induced increase in matrix metalloproteinase-1, decreased procollagen I α1, and suppressed pro-inflammatory mediators and pro-inflammatory cytokines, including NO synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 that trigger inflammatory responses. AIF inhibited nuclear factor-κB and activating protein 1 mitogen-activated protein kinases that were increased by TNF-α stimulation. These results suggest that AIF may protect skin from aging and various cutaneous lesions.

JS-0367 in Tumor Necrosis Factor-α-Stimulated Damage of Human Dermal Fibroblasts. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10020200. [PMID: 33573167 PMCID: PMC7910856 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10020200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2021] [Revised: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a major causative factor of inflammatory responses and extracellular matrix degradation. ROS also cause skin aging and diverse cutaneous lesions. Therefore, antioxidants that inhibit the generation of ROS may be beneficial in the relief of skin aging and diseases. We investigated the anti-skin aging effect of anthraquinones from cultures of Colletotrichum sp., an endophytic fungus isolated from Morus alba L. using human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). We preferentially evaluated the preventive effects of anti-oxidative anthraquinones (1, 4) against the generation of ROS, nitric oxide (NO), and prostaglandins-E2 (PGE2). Among them, 1,3-dihydroxy-2,8-dimethoxy-6-methylanthraquinone (1) suppressed the generation of ROS, NO, and PGE2 in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-stimulated HDFs. Compound 1 reversed the TNF-induced increase in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and a decrease in procollagen I α1 (COLIA1). It also suppressed inducible NO synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and IL-8, which upregulate inflammatory reactions. Mechanistically, compound 1 suppressed nuclear factor-κB, activator protein 1, and mitogen-activated protein kinases in TNF-α-stimulated HDFs. These results suggest that compound 1 may be beneficial for improving skin aging and diverse cutaneous lesions.
