Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the underlying molecular mechanism of (). METHODS We used a tandem mass tag-based quantitative proteomic method to determine the differentially expressed proteins. Network pharmacology analysis was used to analysis the main components of and construct the compound-target network. Western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were used to validate the analyses results. RESULTS The expression levels of thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway proteins were significantly upregulated in focal segmental glomeruloscleosis (FSGS) rats. The reduced the expression levels of TSP-1 and TGF-β1 signaling pathway proteins. Network pharmacology analysis revealed that protocatechualdehyde was the main active component. Subsequent and experiments validated the results of proteomic and network pharmacology analyses. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that may inhibit renal sclerosis by inhibiting TSP-1-activated TGF-β1 signaling and may have potential applications in the treatment of FSGS.

Curr Res Food Sci 2023; 6:100519. [PMID: 37266413 PMCID: PMC10230169 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2023.100519] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, phenolic-rich extracts from Sanghuangporus vaninii (SHE) were prepared, the phenolic profile and main phenolic compound content of SHE were studied by UPLC-Orbitrap-MS, and the antioxidant and antiproliferation activities of SHE were evaluated. The results showed that the total polyphenol content and the total flavonoid content of SHE were 42.420 ± 0.011 mg GAE/g EW and 8.504 ± 0.205 mg RE/g EW, respectively. Moreover, 14 phenolic acids and 8 flavonoids in SHE were identified, among which, the major polyphenols were protocatechualdehyde (394.68 μg/g), protocatechuic acid (196.88 μg/g), caffeic acid (96.11 μg/g), L-phenylalanine (12.72 μg/g) and (+)-taxifolin (8.59 μg/g). SHE showed strong radical scavenging, anti-lipid peroxidation and anti-DNA damage capacity in vitro. SHE could effectively induce HepG2 cell apoptosis via the caspases-dependent mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and arrest the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase. The present study suggested that S. vaninii could be a valuable source of natural antioxidative and antiproliferative ingredients.

Abstract
Sanghuangprous vaninii is a wood-inhabiting fungus, and its mycelium and fruiting body show excellent medicinal values. Mulberry is one of the major hosts of S. vaninii, however, the mechanism of mulberry affecting the growth of S. vaninii has not been reported. In the present study, a mulberry-inhabiting strain of S. vaninii was selected to explore the effects of mulberry branch extracts (MBE) on the growth of the strain. Results showed that MBE could significantly promote the growth of S. vaninii mycelium at the concentration of 0.2 g/l. After 16 days of liquid culture, the dry weight of mycelium in 0.2 g/l MBE medium was higher by three times compared with that in the control. The non-targeted metabonomic analysis of the culture medium at different culture times and concentrations was conducted to find the key components in MBE that promoted the growth of S. vaninii mycelium. Under the different concentrations of MBE culture for 10 and 16 days, 22 shared differential metabolites were identified. Next, in accordance with the peak value trend of these metabolites, HPLC–MS and liquid culture validation, four components derived from MBE (i.e., scopoletin, kynurenic acid, 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid and 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid) could significantly increase the growth rate of mycelium at the concentration of 2 mg/l. Transcriptomic and qRT-PCR analyzes showed that MBE could upregulate hydrolase-related genes, such as serine–glycine–asparaginate–histidine (SGNH) hydrolase, alpha-amylase, poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) depolymerase, glycosyl hydrolase family 61, cerato-platanin protein and Fet3, which might enhance the nutrient absorption ability of S. vaninii. Importantly, MBE could significantly increase the content of harmine, androstenedione and vesamicol, which have been reported to possess various medicinal effects. Results suggested that MBE could be an excellent additive for liquid culture of S. vaninii mycelium, and these hydrolase-related genes also provided candidate genes for improving the nutrient absorption capacity of S. vaninii.

Abstract
The alcohol extracts of Chinese bayberry (Myrica rubra) branches (MRBE) are rich in flavonoids which have a variety of medicinal benefits, but their effects on human HepG2 were unknown. In this study, the effects of MRBE on HepG2 cell growth and its potential for inhibiting cancer were explored. The results displayed that MRBE inhibited HepG2 proliferation both by arresting cells in S phase and promoting apoptosis. Quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (qRT-PCR), western blotting, and immunofluorescence showed that MRBE induced S-phase arrest by upregulating p21, which in turn downregulated cyclin and cyclin-dependent kinase messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein. Apoptosis was induced by blocking the expression of BCL-2 and suppression of the Raf/ERK1 signaling pathways. These results indicated that MRBE may have the potential for treatment of human liver cancer, highlighting novel approaches for developing new pharmacological tools for the treatment of this deadly type cancer. Meanwhile, it provides a new direction for the medicinal added values of Chinese bayberry, which helped to broaden the diversified development of its industry chain.

Abstract
Melanoma is a commonly malignant cutaneous tumor in China. Astragalus propinquus Schischkin and Pinellia pedatisecta Schott (A&P) have been clinically used as adjunctive drugs in the treatment of malignant melanoma. However, the effect and mechanism of A&P on melanoma have yet to be explored. The current investigation seeks to characterize the active components of A&P and their potential roles in treating malignant melanoma using network pharmacology and in vitro and in vivo experiments. We first used the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology (TCMSP) database and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) to identify a total of 13 effective compounds within A&P. 70 common genes were obtained by matching 487 potential genes of A&P with 464 melanoma-related genes, and then we built up protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of these 70 genes, followed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses. The results revealed that A&P might influence the pathobiology of melanoma through the PI3K/Akt pathway. Molecular docking also confirmed that higher content of ingredients in A&P, including hederagenin, quercetin, beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol, had a strong binding activity (affinity < −5 kcal/mol) with the core targets AKT1, MAPK3 and ESR1. Furthermore, we confirmed A&P could inhibit melanoma cells proliferation and induce cells apoptosis through suppressing the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway by in vitro and in vivo xenograft model experiments. These findings indicate that A&P may function as a useful therapy for melanoma through the PI3K/Akt pathway.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:880277. [PMID: 35646884 PMCID: PMC9133326 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.880277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Aromatic aldehydes, including 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4-HB aldehyde), protocatechuic (PC) aldehyde, and vanillin, are used as important flavors, fragrances, and pharmaceutical precursors and have several biological and therapeutic effects. Production of aromatic aldehydes in microbial hosts poses a challenge due to its rapid and endogenous reduction to alcohols. To address this hurdle, prospecting of the genome of Corynebacterium glutamicum yielded 27 candidate proteins that were used in comprehensive screening with a 4-hydroxybenzyl (4-HB) alcohol–producing strain. We identified that NCgl0324 has aromatic aldehyde reductase activity and contributed to 4-HB aldehyde reduction in vivo since the NCgl0324 deletion strain HB-Δ0324 produced 1.36 g/L of 4-HB aldehyde, that is, about 188% more than its parental strain. To demonstrate that NCgl0324 knockout can also improve production of PC aldehyde and vanillin, first, a basal MA303 strain that produces protocatechuate was engineered from 4-hydroxybenzoate-synthesizing C. glutamicum APS963, followed by deletion of NCgl0324 to generate PV-Δ0324. The PC aldehyde/alcohol or vanillin/vanillyl alcohol biosynthetic pathways, respectively, were able to be expanded from protocatechuate upon introduction of carboxylic acid reductase (CAR) and catechol O-methyltransferase encoded by a mutated comtm gene. In shake flask culture, the resulting NCgl0324 deletion strains PV-IΔ0324 and PV-IYΔ0324 were shown to produce 1.18 g/L PC aldehyde and 0.31 g/L vanillin, respectively. Thus, modulation of the identified NCgl0324 gene was shown to have the potential to boost production of valuable aromatic aldehydes and alcohols.

Abstract
Sanghuangporus vaninii, also called 'Sanghuang' mushroom in Chinese, has various medicinal uses, but its effects on human melanoma cells have not been reported. The present study investigated the inhibitory ability and potential anticancer mechanism of the aqueous extracts of S. vaninii (SH). The results revealed that SH inhibited the proliferation of A375 human melanoma cells in a dose-dependent manner, and flow cytometry analysis suggested that SH induced A375 cell cycle arrest at S phase and apoptosis. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, western blotting and immunofluorescence analyses indicated that SH induced S-phase arrest by upregulating p21 expression, and p21 inhibited the expression of cyclin-cyclin-dependent kinases complexes at both the RNA and protein levels. In addition, SH induced apoptosis of A375 cells by inhibiting the expression levels of the anti-apoptosis gene Bcl-2. Therefore, the results suggested that SH may be a potential candidate for the treatment of human melanoma, thus providing new ideas for developing drugs that target melanoma.
