Abstract
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease closely associated with oxidative stress. We had previously confirmed that the Viscozyme-assisted polysaccharide from Portulaca oleracea L (VPOP1) protects against antioxidant stress and evaluated the structure of VPOP1. In this study, we aimed to explore the anti-osteoporotic effects of VPOP1 on H2O2-induced osteoblast apoptosis. In addition, untargeted zebrafish metabolomics based on UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-HRMS was used to investigate the potential anti-osteoporotic mechanisms of VPOP1. The levels of Bcl-2 decreased significantly and those of caspase-3, Bax, and cytochrome C increased after treatment with H2O2. VPOP1 inhibited apoptosis in H2O2-induced MC3T3 cells. Metabolomic analyses showed that 28 potential biomarkers were gradually restored to normal levels after treatment with VPOP1 compared with that in the model group. Among them, leukotrienes D4 and A4, L-dopa, and L-tyrosine are important biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Pathway analysis revealed that arachidonic acid, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and sphingolipid metabolism were the major intervening pathways. Collectively, these results help us understand the protective activity of large molecular weight compounds, such as VPOP1, against osteoporosis.

Characterization and screening of anti-melanogenesis and anti-photoaging activity of different enzyme-assisted polysaccharide extracts from Portulaca oleracea L. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 116:154879. [PMID: 37229889 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.154879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The flavonoids and polysaccharides in Portulaca oleracea L. (PO) have significant antibacterial and antioxidant effects, which can inhibit common bacteria and remove free radicals in the body. However, there was little research on the use of PO to alleviate hyperpigmentation and photoaging damage. PURPOSE This study was to investigate the anti-photoaging and whitening activity mechanism of polysaccharide of PO (POP) in vitro and in vivo. METHOD In this study, 16 fractions obtained by four enzyme-assisted extraction from PO and their scavenging capabilities against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and hydroxyl radicals were evaluated. Among these fractions, a polysaccharide fraction (VPOP3) showed the strongest biological activity. VPOP3 was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, molecular weight (MW), and monosaccharide composition analysis, and the protective effect of VPOP3 on photoaging and hyperpigmentation was researched. RESULTS VPOP3 is a low-MW acidic heteropolysaccharide with MW mainly distributed around 0.71KDa, arabinose as its main monosaccharide component. VPOP3 reliably reduced the reactive oxygen species levels in cells and zebrafish and the level of lipid peroxidation in zebrafish. In addition, VPOP3 inhibited UVB-induced apoptotic body formation and apoptosis by downregulating caspase-3 and Bax and upregulating Bcl-2 in mitochondrion-mediated signaling pathways. On the other hand, VPOP3 at high concentrations significantly downregulated the expression of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor, tyrosinase (TYR), and TYR-related protein-1 and TYR-related protein-2 in the melanogenic signaling pathway to achieve a whitening effect. CONCLUSION The above results showed that VPOP3 has superior activities of anti-photoaging and anti-melanogenesis and can be utilized as a safe resource in the manufacture of cosmetics.

Front Nutr 2023; 10:1102146. [PMID: 36875839 PMCID: PMC9978827 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1102146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Natural polysaccharides (NPs) possess numerous health-promoting effects, such as liver protection, kidney protection, lung protection, neuroprotection, cardioprotection, gastrointestinal protection, anti-oxidation, anti-diabetic, and anti-aging. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) antioxidant pathway is an important endogenous antioxidant pathway, which plays crucial roles in maintaining human health as its protection against oxidative stress. Accumulating evidence suggested that Nrf2 antioxidant pathway might be one of key regulatory targets for the health-promoting effects of NPs. However, the information concerning regulation of NPs on Nrf2 antioxidant pathway is scattered, and NPs show different regulatory behaviors in their different health-promoting processes. Therefore, in this article, structural features of NPs having regulation on Nrf2 antioxidant pathway are overviewed. Moreover, regulatory effects of NPs on this pathway for health-promoting effects are summarized. Furthermore, structure-activity relationship of NPs for health-promoting effects by regulating the pathway is preliminarily discussed. Otherwise, the prospects on future work for regulation of NPs on this pathway are proposed. This review is beneficial to well-understanding of underlying mechanisms for health-promoting effects of NPs from the view angle of Nrf2 antioxidant pathway, and provides a theoretical basis for the development and utilization of NPs in promoting human health.
