Juglanin administration protects skin against UVB‑induced injury by reducing Nrf2‑dependent ROS generation. Int J Mol Med 2020; 46:67-82. [PMID: 32377697 PMCID: PMC7255487 DOI: 10.3892/ijmm.2020.4589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2017] [Accepted: 08/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Extensive solar ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure of the skin results in inflammation and oxidative stress, which may contribute to skin cancer. Natural products have attracted attention for their role in the effective treatment of cutaneous neoplasia. Juglanin is purified from the crude extract of Polygonum aviculare, exhibiting anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities. Jugalanin was used in the current study to investigate whether it may ameliorate UVB irradiation-induced skin damage by reducing oxidative stress and suppressing the inflammatory response in vivo and in vitro. In the present study, hairless mice were exposed to UVB irradiation in the absence or presence of juglanin administration for 10 weeks. The findings indicated that juglanin inhibited UVB-induced hyperplasia and decreased infiltration in the skin of mice. UVB exposure-induced oxidative stress in mice and cells was inhibited by juglanin via enhancing anti-oxidant activity. Additionally, juglanin markedly reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine release, including cyclic oxidase 2, interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α, triggered by chronic UVB irradiation. Juglanin-ameliorated skin damage was associated with its suppression of mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs), including p38, extracellular signal regulated 1/2, and c-Jun N-terminal kinases, as well as nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling pathways, which was dependent on nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-modulated reactive oxygen species generation. Taken together, these data indicate that juglanin protected against UVB-triggered oxidative stress and inflammatory responses by suppressing MAPK and NF-κB activation via enhancing Nrf2 activity.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and explore the risk predictors on mortality in elderly patients with acute cholecystitis and cholangitis. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of elderly patients hospitalized in the Second Medical Center of General Liberation Army Hospital for acute cholecystitis and cholangitis during 2000 to 2018. Clinical data and risk predictors on mortality were assessed. The patients were stratified into three groups based on age:Ⅰ (65-74 years old),Ⅱ (75-84 years old), and Ⅲ (≥85 years old). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictors of mortality. Results: A total of 574 patients were finally enrolled with the mean age 87.6 years including 191 in group Ⅰ, 167 in group Ⅱ, and 216 in group Ⅲ. The main cause of acute cholecystitis and cholangitis was gallstone (76.3%),and the main symptom was abdominal pain (62.9%),followed by chills(62.5%),fever(59.8%),jaundice (47.2%) and septic shock(26.3%). Cholecystitis was the most common diagnosis in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ,whereas it was cholangitis in group Ⅲ. Percutaneous transhepatic biliary/gallbladder drainage (PTBD/PTGD) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) were administrated more frequently in groups Ⅲ. A total of 35 patients (6.1%) died during follow-up. Senior in age (OR=11.1),the Charlson comorbidity index (OR=19.5),cancers (OR=9.6),blood stream infections (OR=7.4),severity of cholecystitis and cholangitis (OR=4.2) were risk factors associated with mortality. Conclusions: Even in the elderly patients with acute cholecystitis and cholangitis,comorbidity is one of the main factors affecting clinical outcomes. Due to the poor performance, this group of population presents more severe disease and undergoes conservative treatment strategies.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with an increased risk of vascular complications. Lupus nephritis is a major manifestation of SLE in the clinic. Lupus nephritis is elevated by T helper type 17 (Th17) cells, the major pro‑inflammatory T‑cell subset, leading to autoimmunity modulation. Therapeutic treatments targeting leukocyte recruitment may be useful in attenuating vascular complications linked to SLE progression. 3,7,3',4'‑Tetrahydroxyflavone (fisetin) is a flavonol and a member of the flavonoid polyphenols. It is present in various fruits and vegetables, including persimmons, apples, kiwis, grapes, onions, strawberries and cucumbers. In the present study, the effects of fisetin against SLE induced by pristane (PRI) were evaluated in mice. Fisetin was indicated to reduce PRI‑induced anti‑double stranded DNA, anti‑ small nuclear ribonucleoprotein and the ratio of albumin to creatinine in urine. In addition, the chemokine (C‑X‑C motif) ligand (CXCL) signaling pathway was activated for PRI treatment, which was reversed by fisetin administration by reducing CXCL‑1 and 2, chemokine (C‑C motif) ligand 3, as well as CXC receptor 2 expression. In addition, the induction of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)‑6, tumor necrosis factor‑α, IL‑1β, as well as the chemokine interferon‑γ, by PRI were downregulated by fisetin treatment in mice. Furthermore, Th17 cells and their associated cytokines were highly induced by PRI treatment, which was inhibited by fisetin administration. The present results indicated that fisetin may be an effective management for SLE by targeting the CXCL signaling pathway and regulating Th17 differentiation during lupus nephritis development.

Abstract
Salidroside (SR) is a main component of Rhodiola rosea L. and exhibits a variety of pharmacologic properties. The present study was carried out to explore the potential effect of SR against skin cancer induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13‑acetate (TPA) in female Institute for Cancer Research (ICR) mice and to reveal the underlying molecular targets regulated by SR. The mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: control, DMBA/TPA, DMBA/TPA+SR (20 mg/kg) and DMBA/TPA+SR (40 mg/kg). SR was administered to mice five times a week after DMBA treatments. In our study, we found that SR dose-dependently ameliorated skin cancer incidence and the multiplicity in the animal models by reducing the release of inflammation-related cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-18 (IL-18), interleukin-6 (IL-6), cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) and transforming growth factor β-1 (TGF-β1). Suppression of the nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling pathway by SR was effective to prevent skin carcinogenesis. Furthermore, TUNEL analysis indicated that compared to the DMBA/TPA group, enhanced apoptosis was observed in the DMBA/TPA+SR group. In addition, p53 expression levels were increased by SR in the DMBA/TPA-induced mice. Therefore, SR was effective for inducing apoptosis during skin cancer progression triggered by DMBA/TPA. Consistently, p21, p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA), Bax and caspase-3 were highly induced by SR to enhance the apoptotic response for preventing skin cancer. Moreover, in vitro, we found that SR dramatically reduced the inflammatory response, while enhancing the aoptotic response by blocking NF-κB and activating caspase-3 pathways, respectively. In addition, flow cytometric analysis further confirmed the induction of apoptosis by SR in DMBA-treated cells in vitro. Taken together, the in vivo and in vitro studies illustrated that SR might be a promising compound to reduce skin cancer risk.

IRF1 up-regulates isg15 gene expression in dsRNA stimulation or CSFV infection by targeting nucleotides -487 to -325 in the 5' flanking region. Mol Immunol 2018; 94:153-165.

Abstract
Interferon (IFN)-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) encodes a ubiquitin-like protein that is heavily involved in immune response elicitation. As an important member of interferon regulatory factor (IRF) family, IRF1 can activate the expression of multiple genes, including the human optineurin gene (Sudhakar et al., 2013). In this study, a sequence in the promoter region of the optineurin gene was compared to the 5' flanking region of the porcine isg15 gene. Porcine IRF1 also possesses antiviral activity against several swine viruses (Li et al., 2015), but the mechanism is not well understood. Herein, we report that porcine IRF1 and ISG15 were up-regulated in porcine kidney (PK-15) cells following stimulation with double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) or classical swine fever virus (CSFV) infection. We also found that siRNA-mediated knockdown of IRF1 expression resulted in lower ISG15 expression in response to polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid [poly(I:C)] or CSFV infection. The overexpression of IRF1 resulted in ISG15 up-regulation. IRF1 was shown to translocate to the nucleus in response to dsRNA stimulation. To further identify the functional domain of the isg15 gene that promotes IRF1 transcriptional activity, firefly luciferase and ISG15 reporter systems were constructed. The results of the firefly luciferase and ISG15 reporter assay suggested that IRF1 mediates the up-regulation of ISG15. Nucleotides -487 to -325, located in the 5' flanking region of the isg15 gene, constituted the promoter region of IRF1. ChIP assay indicated that IRF1 protein was able to interact with the DNA in the 5'fr of isg15 gene in cells. As an innate immune response protein with broad-spectrum antiviral activity, the up-regulation of ISG15 mediated by IRF1 in porcine cells is reported for the first time. These results warrant further investigation into the antiviral activity of porcine IRF1 against reported swine viruses.

Abstract
Food components with the ability to suppress preadipocyte proliferation and intracellular lipid accumulation may be helpful in the prevention of obesity, which is a worldwide health concern. Casein glycomacropeptide (GMP), which has pronounced gastric inhibitory activity, could potentially possess fat synthesis inhibition properties and an obesity-alleviating capacity. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of GMP on the proliferation and differentiation of preadipocytes as well as triglyceride accumulation and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in preadipocytes isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats. Different dosages (0, 0.31, 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, and 5.0 mg/mL) of GMP were co-incubated with preadipocytes. The proliferation activity of preadipocytes significantly decreased in the GMP-treated group compared with that of the control group without GMP supplementation. The GMP exhibited an inhibitory effect against preadipocyte proliferation in a dose-dependent manner; the maximal antiproliferative effect was obtained with 2.5 mg/mL. The GMP also attenuated differentiation, as revealed by decreased lipid content, and the effect was more pronounced when cells were treated with GMP before or at the beginning of differentiation induction than at later stages of cell differentiation. Cultured preadipocytes treated with GMP accumulated fewer triglycerides and had lower glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity than did the control cells without GMP supplementation. In conclusion, GMP can inhibit the proliferation, differentiation, and lipid accumulation of preadipocytes in vitro.

Abstract
CMYA4 (cardiomyopathy-associated 4) gene plays an important role in thick filament assembly. In this study, we obtained the mRNA sequence including the full coding sequence and the partial 5' untranslated region of the porcine CMYA4 gene by using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and the sequence was deposited in the GenBank nucleotide database (DQ_286571). The human (NM_173167) and mouse (NM_178680) homologues have a 91% and 87% identity with the porcine CMYA4 gene, respectively. The sequence contains an open reading frame encoding 930 amino acid residues, and the amino terminus of the predicted CMYA4 protein contains three tandem repeats belonging to the tetratricopeptide repeat family. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR results showed that the porcine CMYA4 gene is expressed exclusively in striated muscle tissue. An A558G single nucleotide polymorphism in the CMYA4 intron 15 detected as an MspI PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism showed allele frequency differences among 225 unrelated pigs from six breeds. Association of the genotypes with growth and carcass traits showed that different genotypes of the CMYA4 gene were significantly associated with the backfat thickness of the area between sixth and seventh ribs (p < 0.05) and backfat thickness at the shoulder (p < 0.05).

Abstract
UNLABELLED Inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 elicits therapeutic effects in solid tumors that are coupled with the inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis in tumor cells. AIM This study was designed to investigate the role of COX-2 inhibitor nimesulide in cell growth and apoptosis of the cultured human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells. METHODS We performed the MTT assay, flow cytometric analysis and cell morphology study to evaluate growth inhibition and cell apoptosis upon the action of nimesulide alone or along with doxorubicin, a common agent for the treatment of human hepatocellular carcinoma. RESULTS Our results showed that the treatment of HepG2 cells with more than 50 microM of nimesulide suppressed COX-2 enzyme activity because of reduced PGE(2) production, and then induced growth inhibition and cell apoptosis despite no alterations of COX-2 protein expression. Importantly, the combination of 50 microM or 100 microM of nimesulide and low concentrations (5 microM to 20 microM) of doxorubicin resulted in enhanced cell growth inhibition, apoptosis induction and reduced VEGF production. CONCLUSION These data suggest synergistic and/or additive effects of COX-2 inhibitors and chemotherapeutic agents, and may provide the rational for clinical studies of COX-2 inhibitors on the treatment or chemoprevention of human hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
AIM To study the interaction between ciprofloxacin and BSA in physiological condition by fluorescence spectroscopy. METHODS The affection of drug to the protein conformation was investigated. The binding constant between drug and BSA from a double reciprocal Lineweaver-Burk plot was determined and the main sort of binding force was found according to the thermodynamic parameters. RESULTS The binding constants between BSA and ciprofloxacin at 26 degrees C and 45 degrees C are about 10(4). At 26 degrees C, the thermodynamic parameters of reaction between BSA and ciprofloxacin are delta H = -49.13 kJ.mol-1, delta G = -26.45 kJ.mol-1, delta S = -75 kJ.mol-1. The maximum wavelength of the synchronous fluorescence spectra of BSA moved from 279 nm to 289 nm with the increasing of the amount of ciprofloxacin. CONCLUSION There exists fluorescence energy transfer between BSA and ciprofloxacin. The main sort of binding force between BSA and ciprofloxacin is Van der Waals' interaction. Ciprofloxacin can be deposited and be transported by serum protein in vivo. Ciprofloxacin affects the protein conformation.

Abstract
It has been shown that alpha-glyoxal and its derivatives possess antivirus and antitumor activities. Eighteen new coumarin 3-glyoxal derivatives were synthesized in our laboratory. The fragmentation pattern of MS and the characteristic signals of 1HNMR of these compounds have also been studied. In pharmacological test in vitro most of these analogues showed antimutagenic activities, among them, compound 9 exhibited very strong antimutagenic activity and eight compounds showed strong effects. The struture-activity relationship and the possible active substructure responsible for the activity of these compounds were discussed. As expected, coumarin 3-glyoxals showed higher antimutagenic activities than their 3-acetyl coumarin counterparts. We also found that alkylation or esterification of 7-hydroxy were favorable to their activities.

Abstract
Twenty-five 3-acetylcoumarin derivatives were synthesized among which twenty-two were not reported before. Antimutagenic activity screen in vitro has shown that some of these compounds have various activities. The structure and activity relationship for 5-, 7-, 8-substituents has been studied. Pharmacological data showed that: the substituent on position 8 has important effect on its activity. When there is only a hydroxy group on position 7, its activity is the highest among those with other substituents, but when a methyl is on position 8, the order of the activity is reversed. Other trends have also been found which provided some clues for further structural modification.

Abstract
The yield of pellets obtained in preparing diclofenac sodium (DC-Na) controlled release pellets was affected by the lactose/starch ratio of the feed granules, viscosity of the binding solution and residence time in the rolling pot. The pellet shape was found to be correlated with surface tension of the binding solution. The concentration and composition of the coating solution and pellet size distribution were responsible for the agglutination in coating. The controlled release pellets (CRP) and commercial tablets (CT) of DC-Na were administrated orally to healthy volunteers by multiple-dose. The steady-state condition, based on trough plasma concentration on day 3-5, was achieved on day 3. A great difference in plasma drug concentration fluctuation index (FI) between CRP (0.476 +/- 0.0484) and CT (0.935 +/- 0.092) was observed (P < 0.05) during steady-state. The area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve for a 0-12 h interval (AUC) on day 5 of CRP (6.493 +/- 0.4169 micrograms.h.ml-1) and CT (7.551 +/- 0.4745 micrograms.h.ml-1) was shown to be not significantly different (P > 0.05). The relative bioavailability in the human was about 86%.

Abstract
A series of 2-aziridinyl- and 2,3-bis(aziridinyl)-1,4-naphthoquinonyl sulfonate and acylate derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated for antimalarial activity in vitro against the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum (Vietnam Smith strain, chloroquine-resistant at the R3 level). The most active compounds, 2-aziridinyl-1,4-naphthoquinon-5-yl p-ethylbenzenesulfonate (13), 2-aziridinyl-1,4-naphthoquinon-5-yl p-tert-butylbenzenesulfonate (48), and 2-aziridinyl-5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (5) produced 50% inhibition of the growth of P. falciparum at 9.6 x 10(-8), 2.4 x 10(-8), and 8.8 x 10(-8) M, respectively.

Abstract
A new class of 2,3-diaziridinyl-1,4-naphthoquinone sulfonates (27 compounds) has been synthesized and evaluated as potential antineoplastic agents. The most active compounds, benzenesulfonate 4, p-toluenesulfonate 5, p-methoxybenzenesulfonate 7,8-quinolinesulfonate 17, and 2-thiophenesulfonate 20, in the aromatic sulfonate series, at their optimum daily dosage level of 25 mg/kg X 6, produced 100%, 90%, 75%, 80%, and 100% 50-day survivors, respectively, of L1210 tumor-bearing mice. At a lower optimum daily dosage level of 20 mg/kg X 6, treatments with p-fluorobenzenesulfonate 11 and p-nitrobenzenesulfonate 15 resulted in 100% and 80% 50-day survivors. In the aliphatic sulfonate series, methanesulfonate 21 produced 80% 50-day survivors at a 10 mg/kg daily dosage level X 6. Benzenesulfonate 4, p-fluorobenzenesulfonate 11, 8-quinolinesulfonate 17, and 2-thiophenesulfonate 20 derivatives were also tested in mice bearing the B16 melanoma; these agents gave T/C X 100 values of 180, 182, 219, and 161, respectively, in this neoplastic cell system. Structure-activity relationships of compounds of this class are discussed.

Abstract
Induction of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) early antigen after treatment with various combinations of croton oil and n-butyrate was markedly inhibited by retinoids 7901, 7902, Ro 10-9359 and Ro 11-1430. Possible administration of retinoids to virus capsid antigen IgA antibody-positive individuals in high-risk areas for nasopharyngeal carcinoma to prevent EBV activation and development of this cancer is discussed.
