Poliumoside protects against type 2 diabetes-related osteoporosis by suppressing ferroptosis via activation of the Nrf2/GPX4 pathway. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 125:155342. [PMID: 38295665 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 09/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes is often linked with osteoporosis (T2DOP), a condition that accelerates bone degeneration and increases the risk of fractures. Unlike conventional menopausal osteoporosis, the diabetic milieu exacerbates the likelihood of fractures and osteonecrosis. In particular poliumoside (Pol), derived from Callicarpa kwangtungensis Chun, has shown promising anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Yet, its influence on T2DOP remains to be elucidated. PURPOSE The focus of this study was to elucidate the influence of Pol in HGHF-associated ferroptosis and its implications in T2DOP. STUDY DESIGN A murine model of T2DOP was established using a minimal dosage of streptozotocin (STZ) through intraperitoneal infusion combined with a diet high in fat and sugar. Concurrently, to mimic the diabetic condition in a lab environment, bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were maintained in a high-glucose and high-fat (HGHF) setting. METHODS The impact of Pol on BMSCs in an HGHF setting was determined using methods, such as BODIPY-C11, FerroOrange staining, mitochondrial functionality evaluations, and Western blot methodologies, coupled with immunoblotting and immunofluorescence techniques. To understand the role of Pol in a murine T2DOP model, techniques including micro-CT, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, dual-labeling with calcein-alizarin red, and immunohistochemistry were employed for detailed imaging and histological insights. RESULTS Our findings suggest that Pol acts against HGHF-induced bone degradation and ferroptosis, as evidenced by an elevation in glutathione (GSH) and a decline in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, lipid peroxidation, and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, Pol treatment led to increased bone density, enhanced GPX4 markers, and reduced ROS in the distal femur region. On investigating the underlying mechanism of action, it was observed that Pol triggers the Nrf2/GPX4 pathway, and the introduction of lentivirus-Nrf2 negates the beneficial effects of Pol in HGHF-treated BMSCs. CONCLUSION Pol is effective in treating T2DOP by activating the Nrf2/GPX4 signaling pathway to inhibit ferroptosis.

Abstract
With rapid advances in meat science in recent decades, changes in meat quality during the pre-slaughter phase of muscle growth and the post-slaughter process from muscle to meat have been investigated. Commonly used techniques have evolved from early physicochemical indicators such as meat color, tenderness, water holding capacity, flavor, and pH to various omic tools such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics to explore fundamental molecular mechanisms and screen biomarkers related to meat quality and taste characteristics. This review highlights the application of omics and integrated multi-omics in meat quality and taste characteristics studies. It also discusses challenges and future perspectives of multi-omics technology to improve meat quality and taste. Consequently, multi-omics techniques can elucidate the molecular mechanisms responsible for changes of meat quality at transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome levels. In addition, the application of multi-omics technology has great potential for exploring and identifying biomarkers for meat quality and quality control that can make it easier to optimize production processes in the meat industry.

From the perspective of rumen microbiome and host metabolome, revealing the effects of feeding strategies on Jersey Cows on the Tibetan Plateau. PeerJ 2023; 11:e16010. [PMID: 37719116 PMCID: PMC10501371 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.16010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Previous studies have discussed the effects of grazing and house feeding on yaks during the cold season when forage is in short supply, but there is limited information on the effects of these feeding strategies on Jersey cows introduced to the Tibetan Plateau. The objective of this study was to use genomics and metabolomics analyses to examine changes in rumen microbiology and organism metabolism of Jersey cows with different feeding strategies. Methods We selected 12 Jersey cows with similar body conditions and kept them for 60 days under grazing (n = 6) and house-feeding (n = 6) conditions. At the end of the experiment, samples of rumen fluid and serum were collected from Jersey cows that had been fed using different feeding strategies. The samples were analyzed for rumen fermentation parameters, rumen bacterial communities, serum antioxidant and immunological indices, and serum metabolomics. The results of the study were examined to find appropriate feeding strategies for Jersey cows during the cold season on the Tibetan plateau. Results The results of rumen fermentation parameters showed that concentrations of acetic acid, propionic acid, and ammonia nitrogen in the house-feeding group (Group B) were significantly higher than in the grazing group (Group G) (P < 0.05). In terms of the rumen bacterial community 16S rRNA gene, the Chao1 index was significantly higher in Group G than in Group B (P = 0.038), while observed species, Shannon and Simpson indices were not significantly different from the above-mentioned groups (P > 0.05). Beta diversity analysis revealed no significant differences in the composition of the rumen microbiota between the two groups. Analysis of serum antioxidant and immune indices showed no significant differences in total antioxidant capacity between Group G and Group B (P > 0.05), while IL-6, Ig-M , and TNF-α were significantly higher in Group G than in Group B (P < 0.05). LC-MS metabolomics analysis of serum showed that a total of 149 major serum differential metabolites were found in Group G and Group B. The differential metabolites were enriched in the metabolic pathways of biosynthesis of amino acids, protein digestion and absorption, ABC transporters, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, mineral absorption, and biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids. These data suggest that the house-feeding strategy is more beneficial to improve the physiological state of Jersey cows on the Tibetan Plateau during the cold season when forages are in short supply.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the protective effects of functional nutrients including various functional amino acids, vitamins, and minerals on chicken intestinal epithelial cells (cIECs) treated with oxidative stress. The cIECs were isolated from specific pathogen free eggs. Cells were exposed to 0 mM supplement (control), 20 mM threonine (Thr), 0.4 mM tryptophan (Trp), 1 mM glycine (Gly), 10 μM vitamin C (VC), 40 μM vitamin E (VE), 5 μM vitamin A (VA), 34 μM chromium (Cr), 0.42 μM selenium (Se), and 50 μM zinc (Zn) for 24 h with 6 replicates for each treatment. After 24 h, cells were further incubated with fresh culture medium (positive control, PC) or 1 mM H2O2 with different supplements (negative control, NC and each treatment). Oxidative stress was measured by cell proliferation, whereas tight junction barrier function was analyzed by fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran permeability and transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER). Results indicated that cell viability and TEER values were less (p < 0.05) in NC treatments with oxidative stress than in PC treatments. In addition, FITC-dextran values were greater (p < 0.05) in NC treatments with oxidative stress than in PC treatments. The supplementations of Thr, Trp, Gly, VC, and VE in cells treated with H2O2 showed greater (p < 0.05) cell viability than the supplementation of VA, Cr, Se, and Zn. The supplementations of Trp, Gly, VC, and Se in cells treated with H2O2 showed the least (p < 0.05) cellular permeability. In addition, the supplementation of Thr, VE, VA, Cr, and Zn in cells treated with H2O2 decreased (p < 0.05) cellular permeability. At 48 h, the supplementations of Thr, Trp, and Gly in cells treated with H2O2 showed the greatest (p < 0.05) TEER values among all treatments, and the supplementations of VC and VE in cells treated with H2O2 showed greater (p < 0.05) TEER values than the supplementations of VA, Cr, Se, and Zn in cells treated with H2O2. In conclusion, Thr, Trp, Gly, and VC supplements were effective in improving cell viability and intestinal barrier function of cIECs exposed to oxidative stress.

Zhang HT, Xiong H, Xiao HW, Zhang ZH, Huang CL, Huang MZ. Serum metabolomics reveals the effects of accompanying treatment on fatigue in patients with multiple myeloma. Support Care Cancer 2022; 31:43. [PMID: 36525141 DOI: 10.1007/s00520-022-07526-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The renewal and iteration of chemotherapy drugs have resulted in more frequent long-term remissions for patients with multiple myeloma (MM). MM has transformed into a chronic illness for many patients, but the cancer-related fatigue (CRF) of many MM convalescent patients experience is frequently overlooked. We investigated whether the accompanying treatment of family members would affect MM patients' CRF and explore their serum metabolomics, so as to provide clinicians with new ideas for identifying and treating CRF of MM patients. METHODS This was a single-center study, and a total of 30 MM patients were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they have close family members accompanying them through the whole hospitalization treatment. These patients received regular chemotherapy by hematology specialists, and long-term follow-up was done by general practitioners. Patients' CRF assessment for several factors used the Chinese version of the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI-C). Face-to-face questionnaires were administered at a time jointly determined by the patient and the investigator. All questionnaires were conducted by a general practitioner. The LC-MS-based metabolomics analysis determined whether the patients' serum metabolites were related to their fatigue severity. A correlation analysis investigated the relationship between serum metabolites and clinical laboratory indicators. RESULTS The fatigue severity of MM patients whose family members participated in the treatment process (group A) was significantly lower than patients whose family members did not participate in the treatment process (group B). There was a statistically significant difference (fatigue severity composite score: t = - 2.729, p = 0.011; fatigue interference composite score: t = - 3.595, p = 0.001). There were no differences between the two groups of patients' gender, age, regarding clinical staging, tumor burden, blood routine, biochemical, or coagulation indexes. There were 11 metabolites, including guanidine acetic acid (GAA), 1-(Methylthio)-1-hexanethiol, isoeucyl-asparagine, L-agaritine, tryptophyl-tyrosine, and betaine, which significantly distinguished the two groups of MM patients. GAA had the strongest correlation with patient fatigue, and the difference was statistically significant (fatigue severity composite score: r = 0.505, p = 0.0044; fatigue interference composite score: r = 0.576, p = 0.0009). The results showed that GAA negatively correlated with albumin (r = - 0.4151, p = 0.0226) and GGT (r = - 0.3766, p = 0.0402). Meanwhile, GAA positively correlated with PT (r = 0.385, p = 0.0473), and the difference was statistically significant. CONCLUSION The study is the first to report that family presence throughout the whole hospitalization may alleviate CRF in MM patients. Moreover, the study evaluated serum metabolites linked to CRF in MM patients and found that CRF has a significant positive correlation with GAA. GAA may be a more sensitive biomarker than liver enzymes, PT, and serum albumin in predicting patient fatigue. While our sample may not represent all MM patients, it proposes a new entry point to help clinicians better identify and treat CRF in MM patients.
