A Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of the Casparian Strip Membrane Domain Protein-like Gene Family in Pogostemon cablin in Response to p-HBA-Induced Continuous Cropping Obstacles. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:3901. [PMID: 38005798 PMCID: PMC10675793 DOI: 10.3390/plants12223901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
Casparian strip membrane domain protein-like (CASPL) genes are key genes for the formation and regulation of the Casparian strip and play an important role in plant abiotic stress. However, little research has focused on the members, characteristics, and biological functions of the patchouli PatCASPL gene family. In this study, 156 PatCASPL genes were identified at the whole-genome level. Subcellular localization predicted that 75.6% of PatCASPL proteins reside on the cell membrane. A phylogenetic analysis categorized PatCASPL genes into five subclusters alongside Arabidopsis CASPL genes. In a cis-acting element analysis, a total of 16 different cis-elements were identified, among which the photo-responsive element was the most common in the CASPL gene family. A transcriptome analysis showed that p-hydroxybenzoic acid, an allelopathic autotoxic substance, affected the expression pattern of PatCASPLs, including a total of 27 upregulated genes and 30 down-regulated genes, suggesting that these PatCASPLs may play an important role in the regulation of patchouli continuous cropping obstacles by affecting the formation and integrity of Casparian strip bands. These results provided a theoretical basis for exploring and verifying the function of the patchouli PatCASPL gene family and its role in continuous cropping obstacles.

Abstract
Insect Bite Hypersensitivity (IBH, Queensland itch, sweet itch, equine summer eczema) is the most common pruritic disease of horses. It is most often caused by sensitivity to the saliva of Culicoides spp. of biting midges; however, it can also be caused by hypersensitivity to other insect species. The prevalence of IBH in horses is reported to be as high as 60% in some parts of the world. Due to the severe pruritus and effects of secondary self-trauma, IBH has animal welfare concerns, and there is currently no cure. Management of this condition is life-long, time consuming and costly. New grading systems to document disease severity are being validated, which will allow the comparison of clinical trial results of new and existing therapies. Management involves the minimisation of insect bites by use of stabling, fans, rugs and repellents. Symptomatic therapy involves the administration of systemic or topical corticosteroids, systemic antihistamines, and creams and sprays to promote skin healing and decrease inflammation. New immune-mediated therapeutics including vaccines, in addition to desensitisation procedures, show promise at controlling hypersensitivity reactions. This article will review aetiologic agents, pathophysiology, scoring systems and current and new therapies.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in gene transcription and pathophysiological processes of human diseases. Multiple lncRNAs have been shown to play important roles in the occurrence and development of asthma. This study aimed to explore the role of a novel lncRNA, lncRNA-AK007111, in asthma. Overexpression of lncRNA-AK007111 was induced in a mouse model of asthma via viral transfection, followed by the collection of alveolar lavage fluid and lung tissue for the detection of relevant inflammatory factors and pathological analysis of lung sections. Pulmonary resistance and respiratory dynamic compliance were measured using an animal pulmonary function analyzer. The number of mast cells sensitized by immunofluorescence was detected at the cellular level. The degree of degranulation of lncRNA-AK007111 after its knockdown was determined by detecting the level of β-hexosaminidase that was released and quantifying IL-6 and TNF-α using ELISA in a model of RBL-2H3 cells activated by immunoglobulin E plus antigen. Finally, we observed the migration ability of mast cells under a microscope. The results showed that in ovalbumin-sensitized mice, the upregulation of lncRNA-AK007111 promoted the infiltration of inflammatory cells in lung tissue, increased the number of total cells, eosinophils, and mast cells, upregulated IL-5 and IL-6 levels, and increased airway hyper-reactivity. Downregulation of lncRNA-AK007111 decreased the degranulation ability of IgE/Ag-activated mast cells and inhibited the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α; moreover, the migration ability of mast cells was significantly weakened. In conclusion, our study revealed that lncRNA-AK007111 plays an important role in asthma by modulating mast cell-related functions.

Abstract
Two new lignans (1-2) and a new octaketide (12), together with twenty-nine known compounds (3-11, 13-32) were isolated and identified from the aerial part of Pogostemon cablin. Their chemical structures were revealed mainly through NMR and MS data. The absolute configuration of 1 and 2 was deduced by comparing its experimental CD with the calculated ECD spectra. The inhibitory activities of the isolated compounds on LPS-stimulated nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 cells were investigated. At a concentration of 25 μM, compounds 1 and 11 showed approximately equal NO inhibitory effects to that of aminoguanidine.

Abstract
The production of patchoulol in the patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) plant determines its application value, as it is the principal active sesquiterpene of essential oil extracted from this plant. Here, the promoter of patchoulol synthase gene (PatPTSpro) was isolated and found to be methyl jasmonate (MeJA)-induced. A nucleus-localized AP2/ERF transcription factor PatDREB was identified as a transcription activator binding to PatPTSpro, regulating patchoulol biosynthesis through modulating the gene expression. PatDREB also interacts with jasmonate ZIM-domain 4 (JAZ4). Furthermore, PatDREB could physically interact with the MYB-related transcription factor PatSWC4 and synergistically facilitate patchoulol biosynthesis. However, the transcriptional activation activity of the PatDREB-PatSWC4 complex could be inhibited by PatJAZ4, and JA could reverse this interference. Overall, we demonstrated the positive roles of PatDREB and the PatDREB-PatSWC4 complex in regulating patchoulol production, which advance our understanding of the regulatory network of patchoulol biosynthesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of an herbal spray combining various essential oils, with a claim of mast cell stabilisation, antipruritic, anti-inflammatory, and insect repellent effects on the clinical presentation of insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) in horses. DESIGN Double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomised, cross-over clinical trial. METHODS Twenty adult horses with clinical IBH were treated with a daily application of herbal spray or placebo for 28 days in a randomised, cross-over fashion, separated by a>28-day washout period. Horses were examined and scored prior to and after the completion of each treatment. Histopathology was performed on four horses. Owners kept daily diaries of observations. RESULTS The herbal spray significantly reduced the severity of all assessed parameters (pruritus, excoriations, lichenification and alopecia; P < 0.05) compared with baseline values (pretreatment) and with placebo. Owners reported improvement of pruritus in 19/20 horses (95%) with complete resolution in 17 horses (85%) following treatment. Skin biopsies showed resolution of orthokeratosis in 4/4 horses, reduced thickness of the stratum spinosum in 2/4 horses and complete resolution of histopathological abnormalities in 1/4 horses after treatment, compared with either no change or deterioration of histopathologic lesions after placebo. No side effects were observed. CONCLUSIONS The tested herbal spray may be an effective treatment for the management of equine IBH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth. (Patchouli) is an important aromatic and medicinal plant and widely used in traditional Chinese medicine as well as in the perfume industry. Patchoulol is the primary bioactive component in P. cablin, its biosynthesis has attracted widespread interests. Previous studies have surveyed the putative genes involved in patchoulol biosynthesis using next-generation sequencing method; however, technical limitations generated by short-read sequencing restrict the yield of full-length genes. Additionally, little is known about the expression pattern of genes especially patchoulol biosynthesis related genes in response to methyl jasmonate (MeJA). Our understanding of patchoulol biosynthetic pathway still remained largely incomplete to date. RESULTS In this study, we analyzed the morphological character and volatile chemical compounds of P. cablin cv. 'Zhanxiang', and 39 volatile chemical components were detected in the patchouli leaf using GC-MS, most of which were sesquiterpenes. Furthermore, high-quality RNA isolated from leaves and stems of P. cablin were used to generate the first full-length transcriptome of P. cablin using PacBio isoform sequencing (Iso-Seq). In total, 9.7 Gb clean data and 82,335 full-length UniTransModels were captured. 102 transcripts were annotated as 16 encoding enzymes involved in patchouli alcohol biosynthesis. Accorded with the uptrend of patchoulol content, the vast majority of genes related to the patchoulol biosynthesis were up-regulated after MeJA treatment, indicating that MeJA led to an increasing synthesis of patchoulol through activating the expression level of genes involved in biosynthesis pathway of patchoulol. Moreover, expression pattern analysis also revealed that transcription factors participated in JA regulation of patchoulol biosynthesis were differentially expressed. CONCLUSIONS The current study comprehensively reported the morphological specificity, volatile chemical compositions and transcriptome characterization of the Chinese-cultivated P. cablin cv. 'Zhanxiang', these results contribute to our better understanding of the physiological and molecular features of patchouli, especially the molecular mechanism of biosynthesis of patchoulol. Our full-length transcriptome data also provides a valuable genetic resource for further studies in patchouli.

Abstract
The prevalence of allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergy and atopic dermatitis has increased dramatically in recent decades. Conventional therapies for allergy can induce undesirable effects and hence patients tend to seek alternative therapies like natural compounds. Considering the fact above, there is an urgency to discover potential medicinal plants as future candidates in the development of novel anti-allergic therapeutic agents. The Lamiaceae family, or mint family, is a diverse plant family which encompasses more than 7,000 species and with a cosmopolitan distribution. A number of species from this family has been widely employed as ethnomedicine against allergic inflammatory skin diseases and allergic asthma in traditional practices. Phytochemical analysis of the Lamiaceae family has reported the presence of flavonoids, flavones, flavanones, flavonoid glycosides, monoterpenes, diterpenes, triterpenoids, essential oil and fatty acids. Numerous investigations have highlighted the anti-allergic activities of Lamiaceae species with their active principles and crude extracts. Henceforth, this review has the ultimate aim of compiling the up-to-date (2018) findings of published scientific information about the anti-allergic activities of Lamiaceae species. In addition, the botanical features, medicinal uses, chemical constituents and toxicological studies of Lamiaceae species were also documented. The method employed for data collection in this review was mainly the exploration of the PubMed, Ovid and Scopus databases. Additional research studies were obtained from the reference lists of retrieved articles. This comprehensive summarization serves as a useful resource for a better understanding of Lamiaceae species. The anti-allergic mechanisms related to Lamiaceae species are also reviewed extensively which aids in future exploration of the anti-allergic potential of Lamiaceae species.

Abstract
Physalis peruviana L. (PP) is well known for its various properties, including its antioxidant property. In our previous study, the protective effects of PP against cigarette smoke‑induced airway inflammation were confirmed. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the anti‑inflammatory effect of PP against ovalbumin (OVA)‑induced airway inflammation. Treatment with PP inhibited the numbers of eosinophils and the levels of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)‑4, IL‑5 and IL‑13, in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of animal models with OVA‑induced allergic asthma. PP also significantly decreased the production of total immunoglobulin E in the serum. Lung sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin revealed that the influx of inflammatory cells was decreased in the lungs of mice treated with PP compared with cells in the OVA group. The increased expression levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein‑1 (MCP‑1) and T cell marker KEN‑5 were also reduced following PP treatment in the lung tissues compared with those in the OVA group. The PAS staining results showed that PP attenuated the overproduction of mucus in the lung. Additionally, western blot analysis revealed that PP significantly downregulated the activation of nuclear factor‑κB/p38 mitogen‑activated protein kinase/c‑Jun N‑terminal kinase, and upregulated the expression of heme oxgenase‑1 in the lungs. In an in vitro experiment, PP effectively reduced the levels of LPS‑stimulated MCP‑1 in a concentration‑dependent manner. Taken together, these results indicate that PP has considerable potential in the treatment of allergic asthma.

Abstract
Pogostemon cablin (Lamiaceae) has been widely used in traditional medicine. In this study, the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of leaves from P. cablin extracts were investigated. The water extracts had the highest total phenolic content 116.88±0.48 mg gallic acid equivalent/g of dry plant extract. Nevertheless, high levels of total flavonoid content were found in ethanolic extracts 280.12±2.04 mg quercetin equivalent/g of dry plant extract. The highest antioxidant activities were found for the ethanolic extract (IC50=18±0.90, 20±0.24 μg/mL) by DPPH and ABTS scavenging assays, respectively. Both extracts showed moderate inhibition of superoxide inhibition (O2∙-) and nitric oxide (NO) production in concentration-dependent manner. Antibacterial activity was calculated by disk diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and minimum bacterial concentration (MBC). The ethanolic extract had the greatest activity against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin sensitive S. aureus, and Streptococcus pyogenes with zone diameters of 11.67±1.53, 10.33±2.52, and 10.33±1.15 mm, respectively. The corresponding MIC and MBCs were 5, 0.625, and 0.039 mg/mL. P. cablin extracts contain antioxidant and antibacterial properties that should be exploited for possible clinical application.
