Abstract
BACKGROUND Resveratrol is a non-flavonoid polyphenol that shows promise in reducing pro-inflammatory factors and maintaining endothelial function, which hints at its potential role in slowing atherosclerosis and preventing acute coronary events. OBJECTIVE To study the cardioprotective effects of resveratrol on inflammatory mediators and endothelial function in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS A thorough search was conducted in databases (Cochrane Library, ProQuest, PubMed, LILACS, ScienceDirect, Springer, Taylor&Francis, CNKI, Wanfang, and Weipu) until September 24, 2023. The vasopro-inflammatory mediators, endothelial function and outcomes related to cardiovascular events were observed. Titles and abstracts were assessed, and bias was evaluated with Cochrane RoB 2.0. Heterogeneity of results was explored by meta-regression, certainty of evidence was assessed by the GRADE system, and conclusive evidence was enhanced by trial sequence analysis. RESULTS Ten randomized controlled trials and 3 animal studies investigated resveratrol's impact on inflammatory mediators and endothelial function. In primary prevention studies, meta-analysis showed a significant reduction (95% CI: -0.73 to -0.20; P=0.0005) in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression with resveratrol, demonstrating a dose-dependent relationship. No significant difference was observed in interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression with P=0.58 for primary prevention and P=0.57 for secondary prevention. Vascular endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression was significantly increased after resveratrol pre-treatment following CAD events. Secondary prevention studies yielded no significant results; however, meta-regression identified associations between age, hypertension, and lower doses with the extent of TNF-α alterations. High certainty of evidence supported TNF-α reduction, while evidence for IL-6 reduction and eNOS elevation was deemed low. CONCLUSION Resveratrol reduces TNF-α in individuals at risk for CAD, specifically 15 mg per day. However, its usefulness in patients with confirmed CAD is limited due to factors such as age, high blood pressure, and insufficient dosage. Due to the small sample size, the reduction of IL-6 is inconclusive. Animal studies suggest that resveratrol enhances endothelial function by increasing eNOS.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RSV), a bioactive natural phenolic compound found in plants, fruits, and vegetables, has garnered significant attention in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries due to its remarkable biological and pharmacological activities. Despite its potential in treating various diseases, its poor pharmacokinetic properties, such as low solubility, stability, bioavailability, and susceptibility to rapid oxidation, limit its biomedical applications. Recent advancements focus on incorporating resveratrol into innovative materials like nanoparticles, polymers, and bio-ceramics to enhance its properties and bioavailability. In this review, an exhaustive literature search was conducted from PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science databases to explore these advancements, to compares conventional and innovative extraction methods, and to highlights resveratrol's therapeutic potential, including its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, anti-cancerogenic, antidiabetic, neuroprotective, and cardio-protective properties. Additionally, we discuss the challenges and prospects of hybrid materials combining resveratrol with nanoparticles, polymers, and bio-ceramics for therapeutic applications. Rigorous studies are still needed to confirm their clinical efficacy.

Abstract
Natural bioactive compounds from plants exhibit substantial pharmacological potency and therapeutic value. However, the development of most plant bioactive compounds is hindered by low solubility and instability. Conventional pharmaceutical forms, such as tablets and capsules, only partially overcome these limitations, restricting their efficacy. With the recent development of nanotechnology, nanocarriers can enhance the bioavailability, stability, and precise intracellular transport of plant bioactive compounds. Researchers are increasingly integrating nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems (NDDS) into the development of natural plant compounds with significant success. Moreover, natural products benefit from nanotechnological enhancement and contribute to the innovation and optimization of nanocarriers via self-assembly, grafting modifications, and biomimetic designs. This review aims to elucidate the collaborative and reciprocal advancement achieved by integrating nanocarriers with botanical products, such as bioactive compounds, polysaccharides, proteins, and extracellular vesicles. This review underscores the salient challenges in nanomedicine, encompassing long-term safety evaluations of nanomedicine formulations, precise targeting mechanisms, biodistribution complexities, and hurdles in clinical translation. Further, this study provides new perspectives to leverage nanotechnology in promoting the development and optimization of natural plant products for nanomedical applications and guiding the progression of NDDS toward enhanced efficiency, precision, and safety. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology.

An enhanced cardio-protective effect of nanoparticles loaded with active components from Polygonum orientale L. against isoproterenol-induced myocardial ischemia in rats. Int J Pharm 2024; 655:124047. [PMID: 38531434 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
In this study, nanoparticles loaded with active components from Polygonum orientale L. (PO), a traditional Chinese herb known for its anti-myocardial ischemic properties, were investigated for cardio-protective properties. Specifically, OVQ-Nanoparticles (OVQ-NPs) with Orientin (Ori), Vitexin (Vit), and Quercetin (Que) was obtained by double emulsion-solvent evaporation method. The OVQ-NPs exhibited a spherical shape, with a uniform size distribution of 136.77 ± 3.88 nm and a stable ζ-potential of -13.40 ± 2.24 mV. Notably, these nanoparticles exhibited a favorable sustained-release characteristic, resulting in an extended circulation time within the living organism. Consequently, the administration of these nanoparticles resulted in significant improvements in electrocardiograms and heart mass index of myocardial ischemic rats induced by isoproterenol, as well as decreased serum levels of CK, LDH, and AST. Furthermore, the results of histopathological examination, such as H&E staining and TUNEL staining, confirmed a reduced level of cardiac tissue pathology and apoptosis. Moreover, the quantification of biochemical indicators (SOD, MDA, GSH, NO, TNF-α, and IL-6) demonstrated that OVQ-NPs effectively mitigated myocardial ischemia by regulating oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways. In conclusion, OVQ-NPs demonstrate promising therapeutic potential as an intervention for myocardial ischemia, providing a new perspective on traditional Chinese medicine treatment in this area.

Abstract
This study delves into the potential connections between cardiac oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokine response, cardiac pump function, and prognosis in individuals following myocardial infarction. A total of 276 patients were categorized into two groups: the control group (n = 130) and the observation group (n = 146), based on the drug intervention strategies. The control group received standard drug treatment, while the observation group received early drug intervention targeting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory treatment in addition to standard treatment. Serum levels of inflammatory factors, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-9 (IL-6), were assessed using enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) kits. The Forkhead Box Protein A2 (FOX2) reagent was used to determine the overall oxidation level. Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Diameter (LVEDD), Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF), and End-Systolic Diameter (ESD) were measured using Doppler ultrasound. The observation group exhibited significantly reduced serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the observation group exerted lower total oxidation levels, OSI, EDD, and ESD compared to the control group (P < 0.05), while the LVEF and TAS levels in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Remarkably, the observation group experienced a significant reduction in the incidences of reinfarction, heart failure, arrhythmia, and abnormal valve function compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Decreased cardiac pump function and a more unfavorable prognosis were associated with elevated levels of cardiac oxidative stress and inflammatory factors (P < 0.05). Timely intervention with appropriate medications have a crucial effect in decreasing inflammatory marker levels, mitigating oxidative pressure, and enhancing cardiac pumping capacity and overall prognosis.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a cardiac disorder in which myocardial damage occurs as a result of myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. Evidence suggests that oxidative stress and inflammatory responses are critical in the development of myocardial ischemia. Therefore, the combination of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory applications is an effective strategy to combat ischemic heart disease. In this paper, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified cationic liposomes were used as carriers to deliver apigenin (Apn) with small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting the receptor for glycosylation end products (RAGE) (siRAGE) into cardiomyocytes to prevent myocardial ischemic injury through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Our results showed that we successfully prepared cationic PEG liposomes loaded with Apn and siRAGE (P-CLP-A/R) with normal appearance and morphology, particle size and Zeta potential, and good encapsulation rate, drug loading and in vitro release degree. In vitro, P-CLP-A/R was able to prevent oxidative stress injury in H9C2 cells, downregulate the expression of RAGE, reduce the secretion of cellular inflammatory factors and inhibit apoptosis through the RAGE/NF-κB pathway; In vivo, P-CLP-A/R was able to prevent arrhythmia and myocardial pathological injury, and reduce apoptosis and the area of necrotic myocardium in rats. In conclusion, P-CLP-A/R has a protective effect on myocardial ischemic injury and is expected to be a potential drug for the prevention of ischemic heart disease in the future.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is characterized by an increase in reactive oxygen species or a decrease in antioxidants in the body. This imbalance leads to detrimental effects, including inflammation and multiple chronic diseases, ranging from impaired wound healing to highly impacting pathologies in the neural and cardiovascular systems, or the bone, amongst others. However, supplying compounds with antioxidant activity is hampered by their low bioavailability. The development of biomaterials with antioxidant capacity is poised to overcome this roadblock. Moreover, in the treatment of chronic inflammation, material-based strategies would allow the controlled and targeted release of antioxidants into the affected tissue. In this review, we revise the main causes and effects of oxidative stress, and survey antioxidant biomaterials used for the treatment of chronic wounds, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases (focusing on cardiac infarction, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and atherosclerosis) and osteoporosis. We anticipate that these developments will lead to the emergence of new technologies for tissue engineering, control of oxidative stress and prevention of diseases associated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries and among older populations. Conventional diagnostic and therapeutic approaches have limitations such as low sensitivity, high cost and side effects. Nanotechnology offers promising alternative strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of CHD by exploiting the unique properties of nanomaterials. In this review, we use bibliometric analysis to identify research hotspots in the application of nanotechnology in CHD and provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art. Nanomaterials with enhanced imaging and biosensing capabilities can improve the early detection of CHD through advanced contrast agents and high-resolution imaging techniques. Moreover, nanomaterials can facilitate targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering and modulation of inflammation and oxidative stress, thus addressing multiple aspects of CHD pathophysiology. We discuss the application of nanotechnology in CHD diagnosis (imaging and sensors) and treatment (regulation of macrophages, cardiac repair, anti-oxidative stress), and provide insights into future research directions and clinical translation. This review serves as a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians seeking to harness the potential of nanotechnology in the management of CHD.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction results in an increased inflammatory and oxidative stress response in the heart, and reducing inflammation and oxidative stress after MI may offer protective effects to the heart. In the present study, we examined the cardioprotective effects of ferulic acid (FA) and ferulic acid nanostructured solid lipid nanoparticles (FA-SLNs) in an isoproterenol (ISO) induced MI model. Male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into five experimental groups to compare the effects of FA and FA-SLNs. The findings revealed that ISO led to extensive cardiomyopathy, characterized by increased infarction area, edema formation, pressure load, and energy deprivation. Additionally, ISO increased the levels of inflammatory markers (COX-2, NLRP3, and NF-кB) and apoptotic mediators such as p-JNK. However, treatment with FA and FA-SLNs mitigated the severity of the ISO-induced response, and elevated the levels of antioxidant enzymes while downregulating inflammatory pathways, along with upregulation of the mitochondrial bioenergetic factor PPAR-γ. Furthermore, virtual docking analysis of FA with various protein targets supported the in vivo results, confirming drug-protein interactions. Overall, the results demonstrated that FA-SLNs offer a promising strategy for protecting the heart from further injury following MI. This is attributed to the improved drug delivery and therapeutic outcomes compared to FA alone.

Modulating Inflammation-Mediated Diseases via Natural Phenolic Compounds Loaded in Nanocarrier Systems. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020699. [PMID: 36840021 PMCID: PMC9964760 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020699] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Revised: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
The global increase and prevalence of inflammatory-mediated diseases have been a great menace to human welfare. Several works have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory potentials of natural polyphenolic compounds, including flavonoid derivatives (EGCG, rutin, apigenin, naringenin) and phenolic acids (GA, CA, etc.), among others (resveratrol, curcumin, etc.). In order to improve the stability and bioavailability of these natural polyphenolic compounds, their recent loading applications in both organic (liposomes, micelles, dendrimers, etc.) and inorganic (mesoporous silica, heavy metals, etc.) nanocarrier technologies are being employed. A great number of studies have highlighted that, apart from improving their stability and bioavailability, nanocarrier systems also enhance their target delivery, while reducing drug toxicity and adverse effects. This review article, therefore, covers the recent advances in the drug delivery of anti-inflammatory agents loaded with natural polyphenolics by the application of both organic and inorganic nanocarriers. Even though nanocarrier technology offers a variety of possible anti-inflammatory advantages to naturally occurring polyphenols, the complexes' inherent properties and mechanisms of action have not yet been fully investigated. Thus, expanding the quest on novel natural polyphenolic-loaded delivery systems, together with the optimization of complexes' activity toward inflammation, will be a new direction of future efforts.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the cardioprotective effects of L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate (OTC) against isoproterenol (ISO)-induced acute myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. Results demonstrated that OTC treatments inhibited ISO-induced oxidative damage, suppressed lipid peroxidation, and increased superoxide dismutase and catalase activity in the hearts of the treated rats compared to those of the untreated controls. The ISO-related NF-κB activation was reduced due to the OTC treatment, and lower degrees of inflammatory cell infiltration and necrosis in the hearts were observed. In summary, OTC treatments exerted cardioprotective effects against MI in vivo, mainly due to enhancing cardiac antioxidant activity.

Abstract
Aging-induced alternations of vasculature structures, phenotypes, and functions are key in the occurrence and development of vascular aging-related diseases. Multiple molecular and cellular events, such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, vascular inflammation, cellular senescence, and epigenetic alterations are highly associated with vascular aging physiopathology. Advances in nanoparticles and nanotechnology, which can realize sensitive diagnostic modalities, efficient medical treatment, and better prognosis as well as less adverse effects on non-target tissues, provide an amazing window in the field of vascular aging and related diseases. Throughout this review, we presented current knowledge on classification of nanoparticles and the relationship between vascular aging and related diseases. Importantly, we comprehensively summarized the potential of nanoparticles-based diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in vascular aging and related diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, as well as chronic kidney diseases, and discussed the advantages and limitations of their clinical applications.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure (HF) are the main causes of mortality and morbidity around the globe. New therapies are needed to better manage ischemic heart disease and HF as existing strategies are not curative. Resveratrol is a stilbene polyphenolic compound with favorable biological effects that counter chronic diseases. Current evidence suggests that resveratrol is cardioprotective in animal models of atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, and HF. Though clinical studies for resveratrol have been promising, evidence remains inadequate to introduce it to the clinical setting. In this narrative review, we have comprehensively discussed the relevant compelling evidence regarding the efficacy of resveratrol as a new therapeutic agent for the management of atherosclerosis, MI and HF.

Nanosafety vs. nanotoxicology: adequate animal models for testing in vivo toxicity of nanoparticles. Toxicology 2021; 462:152952.

Abstract
Nanotoxicological studies using existing models of normal cells and animals often encounter a paradox: retention of nanoparticles in intracellular compartments for a long time is not accompanied by any significant toxicological effects. Can we expect that the revealed changes will be not harmful after translation to practice, outside of a sterile laboratory and ideally healthy organisms? Age-associated and pathological processes can affect target organs, metabolism, and detoxification in the mononuclear phagocyte system organs and change biodistribution routes, thus making the use of nanomaterial not safe. The potential solution to this issue can be testing the toxic properties of nanoparticles in animal models with chronic diseases. However, current studies of nanotoxicity in animal models with a brain, cardiovascular system, liver, digestive tract, reproductive system, and skin diseases are unsystematic. Even though these studies demonstrate the emergence of new toxic effects that are not present in healthy animals. In this regard, we set the goal of this review as the formulation of the requirements for an animal model capable of assessing the potential toxicity of nanoparticles based on the nanosafety approach.

Comparative Protective Effect of Nigella sativa Oil and Vitis vinifera Seed Oil in an Experimental Model of Isoproterenol-Induced Acute Myocardial Ischemia in Rats. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26113221. [PMID: 34072098 PMCID: PMC8198749 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26113221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2021] [Revised: 05/16/2021] [Accepted: 05/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The study’s aim was to characterize the composition of Nigella sativa seed (NSO) and grape seed (GSO) oils, and to evaluate their cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory effect on isoproterenol (ISO)-induced ischemia in rats. Materials and Methods: NSO and GSO supplements were physicochemically characterized. Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses were used to determine the phytochemical composition in the oils. Total polyphenol content (TPC) and in vitro antioxidant activity were also determined. Pretreatment with 4 mL/kg/day NSO or GSO was administered to rats for 14 days. The experimental ischemia was induced by a single administration of ISO 45 mg/kg after 14 days. An electrocardiogram (ECG) was performed initially and 24 h after ISO. Biological evaluation was done at the end of experiment. Results: The HPLC-MS, GC-MS, and FTIR analyses showed that both NSO and GSO are important sources of bioactive compounds, especially catechin and phenolic acids in GSO, while NSO was enriched in flavonoids and thymol derivatives. Pretreatment with GSO and NSO significantly reduced ventricular conduction, prevented the cardiotoxic effect of ISO in ventricular myocardium, and reduced the level of proinflammatory cytokines and CK-Mb. Conclusion: Both NSO and GSO were shown to have an anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effect in ISO-induced ischemia.

Abstract
Despite recent advancements, mortality due to coronary heart disease (CHD) remains high. Recently, the use of tissue-engineered grafts and scaffolds has emerged as a candidate for supporting the myocardium after an ischemic event. Resveratrol is a naturally occurring plant-based non-flavonoid polyphenolic compound found in many natural foods, including grapes and red wine. We embedded resveratrol in a polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold and evaluated the cardio-therapeutic effects in a murine model of myocardial infarction (MI), with animals being grouped into Sham (S), Myocardial Infarction (MI), MI + PCL, and MI + PCL-Resveratrol (MI + PCL-R). After 4 and 8 weeks, echocardiography was performed to assess ejection fraction (EF) and fractional shortening (FS), which was followed by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence analysis at 8 weeks. The MI + PCL-R group showed a significant improvement in EF and FS compared with the MI + PCL group at 4 and 8-weeks post-surgery. PCL-R scaffolds treated hearts revealed decreased inflammatory cell infiltration, improved collagen extracellular matrix (ECM) secretion and blood vessel network formation following MI. The immunofluorescence analysis revealed resveratrol-loaded scaffolds promote increased expression of cTnT, Cx-43, Trx-1, and VEGF proteins. This study reports resveratrol-mediated rescue of ischemic myocardium when delivered through a biodegradable polymeric scaffold system after MI.

Abstract
Glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPx1) is an important antioxidant selenium enzyme and has a good prospect for drug development. However, the expression of GPx1 requires a complex expression mechanism, which makes the drug development of recombinant GPx1 (rGPx1) difficult. In the previous study, we expressed highly active rhGPx1 in amber-less Escherichia coli by using a novel chimeric tRNAUTuT6. However, the antioxidant effect of rhGPx1 at the cellular and animal levels has not been verified. In this study, we established isoproterenol (ISO)-induced oxidative stress injury models to study the antioxidant effect of rhGPx1 at the cellular and animal levels. Meanwhile, in order to more accurately reflect the antioxidant effect of rGPx1 in mice, we used the same method to express recombinant mouse GPx1 (rmGPx1) as a control for rhGPx1. The results of a study showed that rhGPx1 has a good antioxidant effect at the cellular and animal levels. However, due to species differences, rhGPx1 had immunogenicity in mice and antibodies of rhGPx1 could inhibit its antioxidant activity, so the antioxidant effect of rhGPx1 was not as good as rmGPx1 in mice. Nevertheless, this study provides a reliable theoretical basis for the development of rhGPx1 as an antioxidant drug.

Abstract
Green chemistry plays an important role in the development of sustainable production
systems which involves tremendous research efforts on the design of synthetic
and analytical techniques through resource-efficient ways. The improvement in synthetic
reaction performances encourages the modern society to minimize energy and reagent
consumption and waste generation. Explosion of the chemicals are referred as extremely
toxic substances and have been allied with major harmful health effects, though no cure
has been established due to the lack of curative therapeutic approaches. In view of the
facts, green chemistry strategies trigger a new hope in the synthesis of safer biologically
active compounds to meet the demands of disease free environment. Here, we highlighted
the development of various compounds and greener techniques such as ultrasoundassisted
method, microwave-assisted method, green solvent reactions, solvent free reactions, biomolecules and
nanoformulations as a new healthy approach.

Abstract
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), an important plastic contaminant in the environment, is known to cause organ toxicity. Although current research has shown that DBP-induced organ toxicity is associated with oxidative stress, the toxic effect of DBP on the lungs have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, we investigated the potential mechanism by which DBP induces pulmonary toxicity using a model of DBP-induced allergic airway inflammation in rats. The results showed that chronic exposure to DBP induced histopathological damage, inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and increased the protein levels of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and its downstream protein Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6). Moreover, DBP exposure inhibited nuclear factor-erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and levels of its target genes NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Additionally, using in vitro experiments, we found that DBP induced oxidative stress, reduced cell viability, and inhibited the Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1 pathway in mouse alveolar type II epithelial cell line. Overall, these data demonstrate that DBP induces allergic airway inflammation in rats via inhibition of the Nrf2/TSLP/JAK1 pathway.

Abstract
Mitochondria are intracellular organelles with two distinct membranes, known as an outer mitochondrial membrane and inner cell membrane. Originally, mitochondria have been derived from bacteria. The main function of mitochondria is the production of ATP. However, this important organelle indirectly protects cells by consuming oxygen in the route of energy generation. It has been found that mitochondria are actively involved in the induction of the intrinsic pathways of apoptosis. So, there have been efforts to sustain mitochondrial homeostasis and inhibit its dysfunction. Notably, due to the potential role of mitochondria in the stimulation of apoptosis, this organelle is a promising target in cancer therapy. Resveratrol is a non-flavonoid polyphenol that exhibits significant pharmacological effects such as antioxidant, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor. The anti-tumor activity of resveratrol may be a consequence of its effect on mitochondria. Multiple studies have investigated the relationship between resveratrol and mitochondria, and it has been demonstrated that resveratrol is able to significantly enhance the concentration of reactive oxygen species, leading to the mitochondrial dysfunction and consequently, apoptosis induction. A number of signaling pathways such as sirtuin and NF-κB may contribute to the mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis by resveratrol. Besides, resveratrol shifts cellular metabolism from glycolysis into mitochondrial respiration to induce cellular death in cancer cells. In the present review, we discuss the possible interactions between resveratrol and mitochondria, and its potential application in cancer therapy.
