Abstract
Hypobaric hypoxia is widely recognized as a prominent risk factor for high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE), which contributes to the exacerbation of multiple pathological mechanisms, including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, disruption of blood-;brain barrier integrity, neuroinflammation, and neuronal apoptosis. Among these mechanisms, abnormalities in oxygen metabolism, including hypoxia, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction, play pivotal roles in the pathophysiology of HACE. In this review, our objective is to enhance our comprehension of the underlying molecular mechanisms implicated in HACE by investigating the potential involvement of oxygen metabolism. Addressing aberrations in oxygen metabolism holds promise for providing innovative therapeutic strategies for managing HACE.

The multiple biological activities of hyperoside: from molecular mechanisms to therapeutic perspectives in neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases. Front Pharmacol 2025; 16:1538601. [PMID: 40098612 PMCID: PMC11911483 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2025.1538601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2025] [Indexed: 03/19/2025] Open
Abstract
In recent years, hyperoside (quercetin 3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside) has garnered significant attention due to its diverse biological effects, which include vasoprotective, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor properties. Notably, hyperoside has shown remarkable potential in cancer therapy by targeting multiple mechanisms; it induces apoptosis, inhibits proliferation, blocks angiogenesis, and reduces the metastatic potential of cancer cells. Furthermore, hyperoside enhances the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapy by modulating key signaling pathways. Beyond neoplastic diseases, hyperoside also presents promising therapeutic applications in managing non-cancerous conditions such as diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and pulmonary fibrosis. This review comprehensively examines the molecular mechanisms underlying hyperoside's anti-cancer effects and highlights its role in the treatment of cancers, including lung and colorectal cancers. Additionally, it explores the latest research on hyperoside's potential in addressing non-neoplastic conditions, such as pulmonary fibrosis, diabetes, and Parkinson's disease. By summarizing current findings, this review underscores the unique therapeutic value of hyperoside and its potential as a multifunctional treatment in both neoplastic and non-neoplastic contexts.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a life-threatening condition associated with high morbidity and mortality rates in intensive care units (ICUs). Emerging evidence from clinical studies suggests that compounds derived from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have shown promising therapeutic effects in treating sepsis-induced ALI. Hyperoside is a bioactive compound extracted from TCM. Prior studies reported that hyperoside exhibits potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and organ-protective properties, however, the underlying mechanisms of its effects on ALI remain unclear. Hyperoside pretreatment significantly reduced inflammation, iron accumulation, and lipid peroxidation in the pulmonary tissues of ALI mice induced by CLP and in LPS-stimulated MLE-12 cells. In particular, hyperoside preferentially binds with Keap1 at Arg380 and Arg415, thereby inhibiting the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of nuclear Nrf2, promoting its translocation to the nucleus, and leading to upregulation of anti-ferroptosis gene expression. Moreover, the protective effects of hyperoside were significantly abrogated after Nrf2 expression was silenced or its activity was inhibited by chemical inhibitors, highlighting that Nrf2 is critically involved in the impact of hyperoside. This study confirms that hyperoside exhibits a therapeutically protective effect against sepsis-induced ALI by inhibiting ferroptosis through Nrf2-mediated signaling pathway. Hyperoside acts as an Nrf2 activator by preferentially binding to Arg380 and Arg415 of Keap1 and disrupting the Keap1/Nrf2 interaction.

Poult Sci 2024; 103:104189. [PMID: 39191003 PMCID: PMC11395763 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.104189] [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: 05/14/2024] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024] Open
Abstract
This study investigated the impact of Hypericum attenuatum Choisy extract (HYG) on immunological function and the cecum microflora in broilers. A total of 240 one-day-old AA broilers were randomly divided into 5 groups with 6 replicates of 8 broilers each: 1) the CN group, in which broilers were injected with saline and fed a basal diet; 2) the PC group, in which broilers were injected with lipolyaccharide (LPS) and fed a basal diet; 3) the HYG1 group, in which broilers were injected with LPS and fed a 400 mg/kg HYG-supplemented diet; 4) the HYG2 group, in which broilers were injected with LPS and fed a 800 mg/kg HYG-supplemented diet; 5) the HYG3 group, in which broilers were injected with LPS and fed a 1,200 mg/kg HYG-supplemented diet. Broilers were injected with 1 mg/kg LPS or the same amount saline 12 hours before sampling on d 21 and 42. The results revealed that dietary 400 mg/kg HYG supplementation alleviated spleen index and thymus index abnormalities, balanced the disturbance of serum immunoglobulin (Ig)M and IgA levels, and regulated the cytokine balance in the serum, liver, spleen and jejunum tissues included induced by LPS. Dietary supplementation with 400 mg/kg HYG also downregulated the relative expression of the inhibitor of kappa B kinase alpha (IKKα) and interleukin (IL)-6 mRNAs in the liver and upregulated the relative expression of the inhibitor kappa B alpha (IκBα) and IL-10 mRNAs in the spleen. Dietary HYG improved the cecal microflora balance at 42 d by increasing the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria, such as Alistipes and Phascolarctobacterium, while reducing the relative abundance of harmful bacteria, such as Helicobacter and Colidextribacter. Spearman correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation between activation of the NF-κB inhibitory pathway in the liver and the presence of Phascolarctobacterium, Erysipelatoclostridium, Subdoligranulum and Parabacteroides. Conclusions: The incorporation of 400 mg/kg HYG into the diet was optimal in improving broiler immunological function.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are neurodegenerative disorders that significantly impact well-being. Hyperoside (HYP), a flavonoid found in various plant species, particularly within the genus Hypericin, exhibits diverse pharmacological properties. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the anti-AD and anti-PD effects of HYP remain unclear. This systematic review consolidated existing preclinical research on HYP by conducting a comprehensive literature survey and analysis. The objective was to corroborate the therapeutic efficacy of HYP in AD and PD models and to synthesize its potential therapeutic mechanisms. Searches were conducted in the PubMed, CNKI, and Web of Science databases. Reliability assessment of the 17 included studies confirmed the credibility of the mechanisms of action of HYP against AD and PD. We systematically assessed the neuroprotective potential of HYP in in vivo and in vitro models of AD and PD. Our findings indicated that HYP can mitigate, intervene in, and treat AD and PD animal models and associated cells through various mechanisms, including anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-Aβ aggregation, and cholinesterase inhibitory activities. Therefore, HYP potentially exerts anti-AD and anti-PD effects through diverse mechanisms, making it a promising candidate for therapeutic intervention in both AD and PD.

Abstract
Activated microglia play an important role in driving photoreceptor degeneration-associated neuroinflammation in the retina. Controlling pro-inflammatory activation of microglia holds promise for mitigating the progression of photoreceptor degeneration. Our previous study has demonstrated that pre-light damage treatment of hyperoside, a naturally occurring flavonol glycoside with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, prevents photooxidative stress-induced photoreceptor degeneration and neuroinflammatory responses in the retina. However, the direct impact of hyperoside on microglia-mediated neuroinflammation during photoreceptor degeneration remains unknown. Upon verifying the anti-inflammatory effects of hyperoside in LPS-stimulated BV-2 cells, our results here further demonstrated that post-light damage hyperoside treatment mitigated the loss of photoreceptors and attenuated the functional decline of the retina. Meanwhile, post-light damage hyperoside treatment lowered neuroinflammatory responses and dampened microglial activation in the illuminated retinas. With respect to microglial activation, hyperoside mitigated the pro-inflammatory responses in DNA-stimulated BV-2 cells and lowered DNA-stimulated production of 2'3'-cGAMP in BV-2 cells. Moreover, hyperoside was shown to directly interact with cGAS and suppress the enzymatic activity of cGAS in a cell-free system. In conclusion, the current study suggests for the first time that the DNA sensor cGAS is a direct target of hyperoside. Hyperoside is effective at mitigating DNA-stimulated cGAS-mediated pro-inflammatory activation of microglia, which likely contributes to the therapeutic effects of hyperoside at curtailing neuroinflammation and alleviating neuroinflammation-instigated photoreceptor degeneration.

Abstract
Cuscuta chinensis (C. chinensis) presents many pharmacological activities, including antidiabetic effects, and antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor properties. However, the wound care properties of this plant have not yet been reported. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities of ethanol and ethyl acetate C. chinensis extracts. The phytochemical markers in the extracts were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Then, the selected C. chinensis extract was developed into a nanoemulsion-based gel for wound care testing in rats. The results showed that both of the C. chinensis extracts exhibited antioxidant activity when tested using 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and lipid peroxidation inhibition assays. They reduced the expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in RAW264.7 cells induced with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The ethyl acetate extract also had antibacterial properties. Kaempferol was found in both extracts, whereas hyperoside was found only in the ethanol extract. These compounds were found to be related to the biological activities of the extracts, confirmed via molecular docking. The C. chinensis extract-loaded nanoemulsions had a small particle size, a narrow polydispersity index (PDI), and good stability. Furthermore, the C. chinensis extract-loaded nanoemulsion-based gel had a positive effect on wound healing, presenting a better percentage wound contraction Fucidin cream. In conclusion, this formulation has the potential for use as an alternative wound treatment and warrants further study in clinical trials.

Abstract
Inflammation is a series of reactions caused by the body's resistance to external biological stimuli. Inflammation affects the occurrence and development of many diseases. Anti-inflammatory drugs have been used widely to treat inflammatory diseases, but long-term use can cause toxic side-effects and affect human functions. As immunomodulators with long-term conditioning effects and no drug residues, natural products are being investigated increasingly for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. In this review, we focus on the inflammatory process and cellular mechanisms in the development of diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis, and coronavirus disease-2019. Also, we focus on three signaling pathways (Nuclear factor-kappa B, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription-3) to explain the anti-inflammatory effect of natural products. In addition, we also classified common natural products based on secondary metabolites and explained the association between current bidirectional prediction progress of natural product targets and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Artemisiae Scopariae Herba (ASH) has been widely used as plant medicine in East Asia with remarkable antitumor activity. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. METHODS This study aimed to construct a multi-disciplinary approach to screen topoisomerase I (topo I) inhibitors from ASH extract, and explore the antitumor mechanisms. Bioaffinity ultrafiltration-UFLC-ESI-Q/TOF-MS/MS was used to identify chemical constitution of ASH extract as well as the topo I inhibitors, and in silico docking coupled with multiple complex networks was applied to interpret the molecular mechanisms. RESULTS Crude ASH extract exhibited toxicogenetic and antiproliferative activities on A549 cells. A series of 34 ingredients were identified from the extract, and 6 compounds were screened as potential topo I inhibitors. Docking results showed that the formation of hydrogen bond and π-π stacking contributed most to their binding with topo I. Interrelationships among the 6 compounds, related targets and pathways were analyzed by multiple complex networks model. These networks displayed power-law degree distribution and small-world property. Statistical analysis indicated that isorhamnetin and quercetin were main active ingredients, and that chemical carcinogenesis-reactive oxygen species was the critical pathway. Electrophoretic results showed a therapeutic effect of ASH extract on the conversion of supercoiled DNA to relaxed forms, as well as potential synergistic effect of isorhamnetin and quercetin. CONCLUSIONS The results improved current understanding of Artemisiae Scopariae Herba on the treatment of tumor. Moreover, the combination of multi-disciplinary methods provided a new strategy for the study of bioactive constituents in medicinal plants.

Hyperoside protects against oxidative stress-mediated photoreceptor degeneration: therapeutic potentials for photoreceptor degenerative diseases. J Transl Med 2023; 21:569. [PMID: 37620913 PMCID: PMC10463396 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-023-04459-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Photoreceptor degeneration underpinned by oxidative stress-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death leads to progressive and irreversible vision impairment. Drug treatments that protect against photoreceptor degeneration are currently available in the clinical settings. It has been shown that hyperoside, a flavonol glycoside, protects against neuronal loss in part by suppressing oxidative stress and maintaining the functional integrity of mitochondria. However, whether hyperoside protects against photoreceptor degeneration remains unknown. METHODS To address the pharmacological potentials of hyperoside against oxidative stress-mediated photoreceptor degeneration on molecular, cellular, structural and functional levels, multiple in vitro and in vivo methodologies were employed in the current study, including live-cell imaging, optical coherence tomography, electroretinography, histological/immunohistochemical examinations, transmission electron microscopy, RNA-sequencing and real-time qPCR. RESULTS The in vitro results demonstrate that hyperoside suppresses oxidative stress-mediated photoreceptor cell death in part by mitigating mitochondrial dysfunction. The in vivo results reveal that hyperoside protects against photooxidative stress-induced photoreceptor morphological, functional and ultrastructural degeneration. Meanwhile, hyperoside treatment offsets the deleterious impact of photooxidative stress on multiple molecular pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of photoreceptor degeneration. Lastly, hyperoside attenuates photoreceptor degeneration-associated microglial inflammatory activation and reactive Müller cell gliosis. CONCLUSIONS All things considered, the present study demonstrates for the first time that hyperoside attenuates oxidative stress-induced photoreceptor mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death. The photoreceptor-intrinsic protective effects of hyperoside are corroborated by hyperoside-conferred protection against photooxidative stress-mediated photoreceptor degeneration and perturbation in retinal homeostasis, warranting further evaluation of hyperoside as a photoreceptor protective agent for the treatment of related photoreceptor degenerative diseases.

Vasoprotective Effects of Hyperoside against Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats: Activation of Large-Conductance Ca 2+-Activated K + Channels. Neural Plast 2023; 2023:5545205.

Abstract
Hyperoside (Hyp), a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, exerts multiple therapeutic effects on many diseases. However, the role and mechanisms of Hyp in vascular pathophysiology in ischemic stroke need to be further established. The study aimed to investigate the role of (large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+) BK channels on the vasoprotection of Hyp against cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. The concentration gradient of Hyp was pretreated in both the middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion model and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model of primary vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in rats. A series of indicators were detected, including neurological deficit score, infarct volume, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), cerebral blood flow (CBF), cell viability, membrane potential, and BK channels α- and β1-subunits expression. The results showed that Hyp significantly reduced infarct volume and ameliorated neurological dysfunction in I/R-injured rats. Besides, the effects of I/R-induced reduction of BK channels α- and β1-subunits expression were significantly reversed by Hyp in endothelial-denudated cerebral basilar arteries. Furthermore, the protective effect against I/R-induced increases of MDA and reduction of SOD as well as CBF induced by Hyp was significantly reversed by iberiotoxin (IbTX). In OGD/R-injured VSMCs, downregulated cellular viability and BK channels β1-subunits expression were remarkably reversed by Hyp. However, neither OGD/R nor Hyp affected BK channels α-subunits expression, and Hyp failed to induced hyperpolarization of VSMCs. Moreover, the protective effect against OGD/R-induced reduction of cell viability and SOD level and increases of MDA production induced by Hyp was significantly reversed by IbTX in VSMCs. The study indicates that Hyp has the therapeutic potential to improve vascular outcomes, and the mechanism is associated with suppressing oxidative stress and improving CBF through upregulating BK channels.

Abstract
Background Sepsis mortality and morbidity are aggravated by acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome. Published studies have discovered that hyperoside (HYP) has an anti-inflammatory and therapeutic effect in many diseases. However, whether HYP treatment can attenuate sepsis-induced ALI is still obscure. Methods In this study, a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis mouse model was constructed. The mouse lungs were harvested and assessed using proteomics, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for pro-inflammatory cytokines. Human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HLMVECs) were induced with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for the in vitro model. Results The results showed that HYP treatment attenuated sepsis-induced ALI through an increased survival rate, decreased inflammatory factor expression, and lung tissue apoptosis. At the same time, HYP pretreatment restored angiogenesis in CLP-induced mouse lung tissues. Proteomics detection showed that Atg13 played a vital role in HYP-mediated protection against sepsis-induced ALI. The in vitro experiment showed HYP treatment attenuated LPS-induced HLMVEC damage by regulating Atg13-mediated autophagy. Inhibiting autophagy or silencing Atg13 reversed the protective effect of HYP against sepsis-induced ALI. Conclusion Taken together, we conclude that HYP attenuated sepsis-induced ALI by regulating autophagy and inhibiting inflammation.

Abstract
PROBLEM Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) is a common osteoporosis. Hyperoside (Hyp), a natural flavonoid compound, has anti-osteoporotic effects, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Inflammatory cytokine IL-17A is upregulated in PMO and plays vital roles in bone loss, but the upstream regulatory factors and mechanisms are still unknown. METHOD OF STUDY Twenty PMO patients and 20 healthy control subjects were included to analyze IL-17A expression changes and screen dys-regulated miRNAs in the peripheral blood of PMO patients. miR-19a-5p mimics and inhibitor were transfected into RAW264.7 osteoclasts, and injected into bilateral ovariectomized (OVX) mice to explore the regulatory effect of miR-19a-5p on IL-17A. OVX mice were randomly grouped and treated with different doses of Hyp to uncover the effective targets for the medicine in PMO disease. RESULTS MiR-19a-5p was downregulated in PMO patients and the expression level was negatively correlated with that of IL-17A. miR-19a-5p could directly bind to the 3'UTR of IL-17A and regulate its expression. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that miR-19a-5p mimics decreased the expression of IL-17A, RANK and Cathepsin K, while miR-19a-5p inhibitor significantly increased the expression of IL-17A, RANK, and Cathepsin K. Importantly, the Hyp could improve bone structure of OVX mice by enhancing miR-19a-5p-mediated IL-17A downregulation. CONCLUSION Overall, these data demonstrated that miR-19a-5p/IL-17A axis might serve as novel therapeutic candidate for PMO. Hyp could relieve bone resorption by targeting the miR-19a-5p/IL-17A axis in OVX mice and exhibited prospective for the treatment of PMO.

Abstract
Hyperoside, the main component of many anti-obesity plants, might exhibit a lipase inhibition effect to reduce fat accumulation. The anti-obesity effect of hyperoside was investigated by studying its inhibitory effect and mechanism on pancreatic lipase in vitro and evaluating its ability to reduce lipid accumulation in vivo. Hyperoside is a mixed-type inhibitor of lipase with an IC50 of 0.67 ± 0.02 mmol L-in vitro. Hyperoside changed the secondary conformation of lipase, increased the α-helix content, and changed the microenvironment of lipase through static quenching. The interaction between hyperoside and lipase results from a strong binding spontaneous exothermic reaction, mainly through hydrogen bonding, van der Waals force and electrostatic force. Hyperoside protected hepatic lipid accumulation and adipose tissue hypertrophy and reduced the expression of inflammatory factors in high-fat diet-induced rats. Moreover, hyperoside had a good inhibitory effect on lipase activity in serum and increased fecal fat excretion, thereby reducing lipid absorption in vivo. This study provides theoretical support for the research and development of hyperoside in fat-reducing functional foods.

Abstract
Cadmium accumulates in the kidney and causes inflammation. The NLRP3 inflammasome has been linked to the pathogenesis of inflammation. Hyperoside (HYP) possesses potent nephroprotective properties against of kidney injury. This study aimed to research the effects and related mechanism of HYP on Cd-induced kidney damage. Wide-type and NLRP3-/- mice were used to determine the role of NLRP3 inflammasome in Cd-induced renal dysfunction. Female C57BL/6 were treated with Cd (50 m,g/L) and HYP (25, 50 mg/kg) for 12 weeks. In vitro experiments, the human renal proximal-tubule epithelial cells (RPTEC/TERT1) were pretreated with HYP (50-200 μM) before exposure to Cd. NLRP3 deficiency attenuated Cd-induced NLRP3 activation, inflammation and kidney injury in mice. HYP treatment significantly alleviated Cd-induced kidney injury by decreasing indexes of kidney function, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines release, decreasing ROS production and suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Moreover, treatment with siRNA targeting NLRP3 blocked the anti-inflammatory protective effect of HYP in Cd-treated cells. Additionally, HYP markedly inhibited Cd-induced MAPK/NF-κB pathway stimulation in vitro and in vivo. The findings indicated HYP conferred protection against Cd-induced kidney inflammation via suppression of NLRP3 inflammasome mediated by ROS/MAPK/NF-κB signaling. Our results thus support the notion of developing HYP as promising therapeutic candidate for Cd-induced kidney injury.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The inflammation mediated by microglial cells plays an important role in the process of neurodegenerative diseases. Recent evidence indicates that semaphorin 7A (SEMA7A) is implicated in various neurodegenerative diseases, but whether it plays a role in Parkinson's disease (PD) remains unclear. METHODS In this study, 1.0 mmol/L 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+ )-stimulated mouse microglia (BV2) cells were used as an in vitro model of PD. The expression of SEMA7A was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Cell Counting Kit-8 and apoptosis kits were used to analyze the viability and apoptosis of BV-2 cells. The content of IL-6, IL-β, and tumor necrosis factor-α was determined by ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) kit. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression level of the inducible NO synthase and cyclooxygenase-2. RESULTS Our findings indicated that SEMA7A expression in BV2 cells was upregulated after MPP+ stimulation. Knockdown of SEMA7A promoted cell viability while it inhibited apoptosis and the expression of proinflammatory enzymes and proinflammatory cytokines. Silencing SEMA7A-induced peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ) activation and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway inactivation. Furthermore, a PPAR-γ inhibitor and an MAPK activator promoted the effect of MPP+ on cell viability, apoptosis, and inflammation of BV2 cells; what is more, the PPAR-γ inhibitor and MAPK activator blocked the inhibitory effect of SEMA7A downregulation on MPP+ -induced injury. CONCLUSION In general, knockdown of SEMA7A inhibits MPP+ -induced BV2 cell apoptosis and inflammation via PPAR-γ activation and MAPK inactivation, which may provide a new therapy target for PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hypericum perforatum (HP) is widely used for depressive therapy. Nevertheless, the antidepressant effect and potential mechanism of hyperoside (Hyp), the main active component of HP, have not been determined. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) technology to analyze the components in HP. Using data mining and network pharmacology methods, combined with Cytoscape v3.7.1 and other software, the active components, drug-disease targets, and key pathways of HP in the treatment of depression were evaluated. Finally, the antidepressant effects of Hyp and the mechanism involved were verified in chronic-stress-induced mice. RESULTS We identified 12 compounds from HP. Hyp, isoquercetin, and quercetin are the main active components of HP. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database (TCMSP), the Analysis Platform, DrugBank, and other databases were analyzed using data mining, and the results show that the active components of HP and depression are linked to targets such as TNF-, IL-2, TLR4, and so on. A potential signaling pathway that was most relevant to the antidepressant effects of Hyp is the C-type lectin receptor signaling pathway. Furthermore, the antidepressant effects of Hyp were examined, and it is verified for the first time that Hyp significantly alleviated depressive-like behaviors in chronic-stress-induced mice, which may be mediated by inhibiting the NLRP1 inflammasome through the CXCL1/CXCR2/BDNF signaling pathway. CONCLUSION Hyp is one of the main active components of HP, and Hyp has antidepressant effects through the NLRP1 inflammasome, which may be connected with the CXCL1/CXCR2/BDNF signaling pathway.

Abstract
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a global epidemic with diverse pathogenesis. Among them, oxidative stress and inflammation are the most fundamental co-morbid features. Therefore, multi-targets and multi-pathways therapies with significant anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities are potential effective measures for preventing and treating NCDs. The flavonol glycoside compound hyperoside (Hyp) is widely found in a variety of fruits, vegetables, beverages, and medicinal plants and has various health benefits, especially excellent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties targeting nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathways. In this review, we summarize the pathogenesis associated with oxidative stress and inflammation in NCDs and the biological activity and therapeutic potential of Hyp. Our findings reveal that the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities regulated by Hyp are associated with numerous biological mechanisms, including positive regulation of mitochondrial function, apoptosis, autophagy, and higher-level biological damage activities. Hyp is thought to be beneficial against organ injuries, cancer, depression, diabetes, and osteoporosis, and is a potent anti-NCDs agent. Additionally, the sources, bioavailability, pharmacy, and safety of Hyp have been established, highlighting the potential to develop Hyp into dietary supplements and nutraceuticals.

Abstract
Hyperoside (Hyp) self-assembled polymeric micelles (Hyp-PMs) were purposely developed to enhance aqueous solubility, in vivo availability and anti-oxidative effect of Hyp. In preparing Hyp-PMs, we employed the thin film dispersion method with the micelles consisting of TPGs and mPEG2000-PDLLA3000. The particle size, polydispersity index and zeta potential of Hyp-PMs were 67.42 ± 1.44 nm, 0.229 ± 0.015 and -18.67 ± 0.576 mV, respectively, coupled with high encapsulation efficiency (EE)of 90.63 ± 1.45% and drug loading (DL) of 6.97 ± 1.56%. Furthermore, the value of critical micelle concentration (CMC) was quite low, which indicated good stability and improved self-assembly ability of Hyp-PMs. Also, trend of in vitro Hyp release from Hyp-PMs demonstrated enhanced solubility of Hyp. Similarly, in comparison with free Hyp, oral bioavailability of Hyp-PMs was improved (about 8 folds) whilst half-life of Hyp-PMs was extended (about 3 folds). In vitro anti-oxidative effect showed obvious strong scavenging DPPH capability of Hyp-PMs, which may be attributed to its smaller size and better solubility. Altogether, Hyp-PMs may serve as a possible strategy to potentially enhance aqueous solubility, bioavailability and anti-oxidative effect of Hyp, which may play a key role in Hyp application in the pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to test the anti-rheumatic effects of A. jaluense tubers in acute and chronic arthritis rats, and to assign its ingredients through UHPLC-TOF/MS. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subcutaneous injection of carrageenan for acute arthritis and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) for chronic arthritis was carried out in the hind paw of SD rats. The paw volume was measured by a plethysmometer thermal hyperalgesia was tested using a thermal plantar tester, and mechanical hyperalgesia was evaluated by ankle flexion evoked vocalizations. The expression of c-Fos in the brain hippocampus was measured with the avidin-biotin-peroxidase technique. The ingredients were assigned by UHPLC-TOF/MS, chromatography was performed by UHPLC system with DAD detector and BEH C18 column, and spectroscopy was conducted by ESI-MS system. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The 80% ethanoic extract of A. jaluense tubers showed an acute anti-inflammatory effect by suppressing the edema volume in the hind paw of carrageenan-stimulated rats. In addition, A. jaluense tubers exerted an anti-rheumatic activity by reducing the secondary swelling volume from an immunological reaction in the left hind paw of CFA-induced chronic arthritis rats. Additionally, oral treatment with the 80% ethanoic extract -showed potent analgesic effects in the arthritis rats by recovering the paw withdrawal latency stimulated by the thermal hyperalgesia and by reducing the vocalization scores evoked by ankle flexion on both hind paws. Moreover, its treatment also indicated an anti-psychiatric effect by controlling the c-Fos protein expression of the brain hippocampus in CFA-stimulated arthritis rats. These results suggested that these therapeutic effects were exhibited by less toxic mono-esterified diterpenoid alkaloids (MDAs), and nontoxic non-esterified diterpenoid alkaloids (NDAs). CONCLUSION A. jaluense tubers may act as viable therapeutic or preventive candidates for acute and chronic arthritis, particularly, for immune-inflammatory rheumatoid arthritis to suppress the pain and psychiatric condition.

Abstract
NLR Family Pyrin Domain Containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-induced neuroinflammation is the main pathogenic mechanism of dopaminergic (DA) neuron degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD). Hyperoside (quercetin-3-O-β-D-galactoside), an active compound obtained from the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Abelmoschus manihot, is a potential inflammasome inhibitor. Besides, pituitary adenylate cyclase-activated peptide (PACAP) is an endogenous neuropeptide with neuroprotective effects in various neurodegenerative diseases, such as PD. This study aimed to explore the effects of hyperoside on inflammasome-induced neuroinflammation, and its relationship with PACAP in PD. N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) was used to induce PD-like lesions in mice. Behavioral methods, including the pole test and rotarod test, were used to evaluate the hyperoside effects on MPTP-induced motor dysfunction. Immunohistochemistry was done to detect the loss of DA neurons and activation of glia in the substantia nigra compacta (SNpc). Besides, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect pro-inflammatory cytokines and Western blotting to detect the inflammasome components. PACAP 6-38, a non-irritating competitive antagonist of PACAP, was used to explore the anti-inflammation mechanism of hyperoside. The results showed that hyperoside inhibited the activation of glia and reduced the secretion of inflammatory factors, protecting DA neurons and reversing the motor dysfunction caused by MPTP. Hyperoside also inhibited the inflammasome activation by reducing the expression of NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing caspases recruitment domain (ASC), and caspase-1 and increased PACAP content and CREB phosphorylation in the SNpc of the mice. PACAP 6-38 reversed the inhibitory effect of hyperoside on the microglia proliferation and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. These results indicate that hyperoside can inhibit the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by up-regulating PACAP, thus effectively inhibiting MPTP-induced neuroinflammation and protecting DA neurons. Therefore, hyperoside can be used to treat PD.

Abstract
Hyperoside (HYP), a naturally occurring flavonoid compound, exerts multiple biological functions including myocardial protection, antiredox, and anti-inflammatory activities. However, the role of HYP on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the underlying mechanism need to be further established. Here, we show that HYP treatment profoundly alleviated dextran sulfate sodium-induced ulcerative colitis in mice, characterized by reduced pathological scores, preserved tissue integrity, suppressed colonic inflammation, and balanced Th17/Treg response. Mechanistically, HYP was shown to restrain the expression of the E3 ubiquitin ligase, makorin ring finger protein 1 (MKRN1), which in turn promoted the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), an essential regulator of Th17 and Treg differentiation. Consequently, HYP treatment enhanced PPARγ signaling and hence promoted Treg differentiation while suppressing Th17 cell development during colitis. Thus, our data indicate that HYP acts through the MKRN1/PPARγ axis to modulate the Th17/Treg axis and thereby confers protection against experimental colitis. The findings extend our understanding about HYP action and may provide a potential therapeutic target for IBD.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence reveals that both inflammation and lymphocyte dysfunction play a vital role in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Hyperoside (HPS) or quercetin-3-O-galactoside is an active flavonoid glycoside mainly found in the Chinese herbal medicine Tu-Si-Zi. Although HPS has a variety of pharmacological effects, including anti-oxidative and anti-apoptotic activities as well as podocyte-protective effects, its underlying anti-inflammatory mechanisms remain unclear. Herein, we investigated the therapeutic effects of HPS on murine DN and the potential mechanisms responsible for its efficacy. We used C57BLKS/6J Lepdb/db mice and a high glucose (HG)-induced bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMDM) polarization system to investigate the potentially protective effects of HPS on DN. Our results showed that HPS markedly reduced diabetes-induced albuminuria and glomerular mesangial matrix expansion, accompanied with a significant improvement of fasting blood glucose level, hyperlipidaemia and body weight. Mechanistically, pretreatment with HPS effectively regulated macrophage polarization by shifting proinflammatory M1 macrophages (F4/80+CD11b+CD86+) to anti-inflammatory M2 ones (F4/80+CD11b+CD206+) in vivo and in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) in vitro, resulting in the inhibition of renal proinflammatory macrophage infiltration and the reduction in expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) while increasing expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine Arg-1 and CD163/CD206 surface molecules. Unexpectedly, pretreatment with HPS suppressed CD4+ T cell proliferation in a coculture model of IL-4-induced M2 macrophages and splenic CD4+ T cells while promoting their differentiation into CD4+IL-4+ Th2 and CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells. Taken together, we demonstrate that HPS ameliorates murine DN via promoting macrophage polarization from an M1 to M2 phenotype and CD4+ T cell differentiation into Th2 and Treg populations. Our findings may be implicated for the treatment of DN in clinic.

Abstract
Hyperoside has a variety of pharmacological activities, including anti-liver injury, anti-depression, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer activities. However, the effect of hyperoside on Parkinson's disease (PD) is still unclear. Therefore, we tried to study the therapeutic effect and mechanism of hyperoside on PD in vivo and in vitro models. Rotenone was used to induce PD rat model and SH-SY5Y cell injury model, and hyperoside was used for intervention. Immunohistochemistry, animal behavior assays, TUNEL and Western blot were constructed to observe the protective effect and related mechanisms of hyperoside in vivo. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), flow cytometry, Rh123 staining and Western blot were used for in vitro assays. Rapamycin (RAP) pretreatment was used in rescue experiments to verify the relationship between hyperoside and autophagy in rotenone-induced SH-SY5Y cells. Hyperoside promoted the number of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive cells, improved the behavioral defects of rats, and inhibited cell apoptosis in vivo. Different concentrations of hyperoside had no significant effect on SH-SY5Y cell viability, but dramatically reversed the rotenone-induced decrease in cell viability, increased apoptosis and loss of cell mitochondrial membrane potential in vitro. Additionally, hyperoside reversed the regulation of rotenone on the Beclin1, LC3II, Bax, cleaved caspase 3, Cyc and Bcl-2 expressions in rat SNpc tissues and SH-SY5Y cells, while promoted the regulation of rotenone on the P62 and α-synuclcin. Furthermore, RAP reversed the effect of hyperoside on rotenone-induced SH-SY5Y cells. Hyperoside may play a neuroprotective effect in rotenone-induced PD rat model and SH-SY5Y cell model by affecting autophagy.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd), a biologically non-essential heavy metal, is widespread in the environment, including the air, water, and soil, and is widely present in foods and quantum dot preparations. Cd enters the body primarily through inhalation and ingestion. Its biological half-life in humans is 10-35 years; therefore, Cd poses long-term health risks. While most studies on Cd toxicity have focused on organ and tissue damage, the immunotoxicity of Cd has drawn increasing attention recently. Cd accumulates in immune cells, modulates the function of the immune system, triggers immunological responses, and leads to diverse health problems. Cd acts as an immunotoxic agent by regulating the activity and apoptosis of immune cells, altering the secretion of immune cytokines, inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and oxidative stress, changing the frequency of T lymphocyte subsets, and altering the production of selective antibodies in immune cells. This review summarizes the immunological toxicity of Cd, elucidates the mechanisms underlying Cd toxicity in terms of innate immunity and adaptive immunity, and discusses potential strategies to alleviate the adverse effects of Cd on the immune system.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation plays important roles in the pathogenesis and progression of altered neurodevelopment, sensorineural hearing loss, and certain neurodegenerative diseases. Hyperoside (quercetin-3-O-β-D-galactoside) is an active compound isolated from Hypericum plants. In this study, we investigate the protective effect of hyperoside on neuroinflammation and its possible molecular mechanism. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and hyperoside were used to treat HT22 cells. The cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The cell apoptosis rate was measured by flow cytometry assay. The mRNA expression levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The levels of oxidative stress indices superoxide dismutase (SOD), reactive oxygen species (ROS), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured by the kits. The expression of neurotrophic factor and the relationship among hyperoside, silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog-1 (SIRT1) and Wnt/β-catenin, and sonic hedgehog was examined by western blotting. In the LPS-induced HT22 cells, hyperoside promotes cell survival; alleviates the level of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, ROS, MDA, Bax, and caspase-3; and increases the expression of CAT, SOD, GSH, Bcl-2, BDNF, TrkB, and NGF. In addition, hyperoside upregulated the expression of SIRT1. Further mechanistic investigation showed that hyperoside alleviated LPS-induced inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis by upregulating SIRT1 to activate Wnt/β-catenin and sonic hedgehog pathways. Taken together, our data suggested that hyperoside acts as a protector in neuroinflammation.

Abstract
As the aging phenomenon continues to increase, the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases continues to increase annually. As one of the significant contributive factors of neurodegenerative diseases, oxidative stress damage has received extensive attention in recent years. Oxidative stress plays an important role in neuronal damage through various apoptotic mechanisms related to neurodegenerative diseases. The use of natural antioxidants to combat oxidative stress may be a useful approach in delaying disease progression. In this study, we explored the neuroprotective effect of hyperoside on rat pheochromoma (PC12) cells. Specifically, the antioxidant effect and mechanism of hyperoside in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced cellular cytotoxicity were investigated. Our results showed that hyperoside could significantly increase the survival rate of rat PC12 cells when exposed to H2O2. In addition, hyperoside regulated the expression of genes and proteins in the corresponding pathways by up-regulating the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt), and light chain 3β (LC3B) pathways and down-regulating the nuclear factor-ᴋ-gene binding (NF-κB), Bcl2-associated X (Bax), cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 3 (Caspase 3), and P62 pathways, thereby inhibiting cell apoptosis. Therefore, hyperoside can effectively inhibit H2O2-induced oxidative stress damage by regulating inflammation, autophagy, and apoptosis-related pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Literature findings have instituted the role of hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in the pathogenesis of cognitive derangement in diabetes mellitus (DM). Hyperoside (HYP) is a flavanone glycoside reported to possess diverse pharmacological benefits such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The study explored whether HYP could mitigate DM-induced cognitive dysfunction and further elucidate on potential molecular mechanism in rats. METHODS Streptozotocin/high-fat diet-induced diabetic rats were treated orally with HYP (50, 200 and 400 mg/kg/day) for six consecutive weeks. The blood glucose and serum insulin levels, Morris water maze test, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test, and brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity were determined. The brain expression of inflammatory nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), reduced glutathione (GSH), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), lipid profile and caspase-3 activity were estimated. RESULTS DM evoked hyperlipidemia, hypoinsulinemia, cognitive dysfunction by markedly increased AChE and reduction in learning and memory capacity. Brain activities of SOD and CAT, and levels of TAC and GSH were considerably depressed, whereas levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, NF-κB, caspase-3 and MDA were prominently increased. Interestingly, the HYP treatment dose-dependently abrogated the altered cognitive and biochemical parameters. DISCUSSION The results suggested that hyperoside prevents DM-induced cognitive dysfunction, neuroinflammation and oxidative stress via antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic mechanisms in rats.

Abstract
Background
Leaves of the natural plant lotus are used in traditional Chinese medicine and tea production. They are rich in flavonoids. Methods In this study, lotus leaf flavonoids (LLF) were applied to human lung cancer A549 cells and human small cell lung cancer cells H446 in vitro to verify the effect of LLF on apoptosis in these cells through the ROS/p38 MAPK pathway. Results LLF had no toxic effect on normal cells at concentrations up to 500 µg/mL, but could significantly inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells and H446 cells. Flow cytometry showed that LLF could induce growth in A549 cells. We also found that LLF could increase ROS and MDA levels, and decrease SOD activity in A549 cells. Furthermore, qRT-PCR and western blot analyses showed that LLF could upregulate the expression of p38 MAPK (p-p38 MAPK), caspase-3, caspase-9, cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9 and Bax and downregulate the expression of Cu/Zn SOD, CAT, Nrf2, NQO1, HO-1, and Bcl-2 in A549 cells. Results of HPLC showed that LLF mainly contain five active substances: kaempferitrin, hyperoside, astragalin, phloridzin, and quercetin. The apoptosis-inducing effect of LLF on A549 cells came from these naturally active compounds. Conclusions We have shown in this study that LLF is a bioactive substance that can induce apoptosis in A549 cells in vitro, and merits further research and development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease. The pathogenesis of OA is closely related to inflammatory responses and apoptosis of chondrocytes. Hyperoside (Hyp), a natural flavonoid compound, exerts multiple bioactivities in various diseases. PURPOSE Our study aims to investigate the anti-arthritic effects of Hyp and delineate the potential mechanism at the cellular level. METHODS Murine chondrocytes were stimulated with interleukin-1β (IL-1β) with or without Hyp treatment. CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of Hyp. DCFH-DA was used to detect intracellular ROS. Annexin V-FITC/PI method was applied to examine apoptosis of chondrocytes. The anti-arthritic effects of Hyp and related mechanisms were investigated by examining and analyzing relative markers through quantitative PCR, western blot analysis and immunofluorescent staining. C57BL/6 mice were performed the destabilized medial meniscus (DMM) surgery to establish OA model and then injected intraperitoneally with Hyp (20 mg/kg)) for 4 or 8 weeks. Finally, mice were sacrificed and knee joints were collected for histological observation and analysis. RESULTS Hyp inhibited IL-1β-induced expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Additionally, Hyp attenuated IL-1β-induced destruction of the extracellular matrix (ECM) by downregulating the expression of MMPs and ADAMTS5, and meanwhile upregulating the expression of collagen II, aggrecan, and SOX9. Also, Hyp pretreatment reduced IL-1β-induced overproduction of ROS and apoptosis of chondrocytes. Mechanistically, Hypexerted anti-inflammatory effects by partly suppressing the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB and the MAPK signaling pathways, enhancing the Nrf2/HO-1 to limit the activation of NF-κB. Moreover, Hyp played an anti-apoptotic effect via the Nrf2/ROS/BAX/Bcl-xlaxis. In vivo, cartilage degradation was attenuated with a lower OARSI score in Hyp-treated group compared to the DMM group. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that anti-arthritic effects of Hyp in vitro and in vivo, indicating Hyp might serve as a potential agent for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Epilobium species are generally known as "Yakı Otu" in Turkey, which mens "plaster herb" in English. Young shoots of Epilobium angustifolium L., Epilobium stevenii Boiss., and Epilobium hirsutum L. are consumed as salad or meal. These species have been used as a poultice for the treatment of mouth wounds in traditional medicine. An ointment prepared from leaves is used for skin disorders in children. AIM OF THE STUDY We aimed to evaluate the ethnopharmacological use of Epilobium angustifolium, E. stevenii, and E. hirsutum by using in vivo and in vitro experimental models, and to identify the active wound-healer compound(s) and to explain the probable mechanism of the wound-healing activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Evaluation of wound healing effects of plant extracts was performed in rats and mice by linear incision and circular excision wound models. Determination of total phenolic constituents and antioxidant capacities, which are known to promote the wound healing process, were carried out through Folin-Ciocalteau method and 2,2 Diphenyl 1 picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging assay as well as determination of total antioxidant status (TAS) and total oxidant status (TOS) on the treated tissues. The active ethyl acetate (EtOAc) sub-extract of E. angustifolium was fractionated by different chromatographic separation techniques. The structures of isolated compounds were elucidated via detailed analyzes (NMR and LC/MS). In addition, in vitro collagenase, hyaluronidase, and elastase enzymes inhibitory activity tests were performed on the isolated compounds to discover the activation pathways of the samples. RESULTS Among the methanol (MeOH) extracts, E. angustifolium had the highest wound healing activity. Among the sub-extracts, EtOAc showed the highest wound healing activity. Thus, EtOAc sub-extract was subjected to chromatography to isolate the active compounds. Five known flavonoids namely hyperoside (quercetin-3-O-β-D-galactoside) (1), kaempferol (2), kaempferol-3-O-α-L-rhamno pyranoside (3), quercetin-3-O-α-L-rhamno pyranoside (4), and quercetin-3-O-α-L-arabino pyranoside (5) were isolated from the EtOAc sub-extract of E. angustifolium. In vitro tests showed that hyperoside could be the compound responsible for the wound-healing activity by its significant anti-hyaluronidase, anti-collagenase, and antioxidant activities. CONCLUSION The EtOAc sub-extract of the aerial part of Epilobium angustifolium displayed remarkable wound-healing activity with anti-hyaluronidase, anti-collagenase, and antioxidant activities. Hyperoside was detected as the primary active compound of the aerial parts. According to the results, we suggest that EtOAc sub-extract of E. angustifolium and hyperoside may be a potent nominee to be used for the improvement of a wound-healing agent.

Abstract
The species Annona nutans (R. E. Fries) is a plant found in Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina and the Brazilian cerrado. Considering the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities of the hydrometanolic fraction (FHMeOH) of A. nutans leaves previously reported, the present study aimed to evaluate in vivo anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities of a subfraction obtained from FHMeOH, the butanolic fraction (FBuOHf). Intraperitoneal (i.p.) treatment with FBuOHf (50 and 100 mg · kg-1) inhibited paw edema induced by carrageenan. Moreover, FBuOHf (100 mg · kg-1, i.p.) also suppressed polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocyte migration in the footpad. Regarding the antinociceptive activity, FBuOHf (50, 100, and 200 mg · kg-1, i.p.) inhibited acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing. In the formalin test, this fraction (200 mg · kg-1, i.p.) reduced licking time only in the inflammatory phase. The FBuOHf contents flavonoids and cinnamic acid derivatives, such as quercetin-3-O-galactoside, quercetin-3-O-glucoside, isorhamnetin-3-O-galactoside, quercetin-3-O-β-D-apio-furanosyl-(1→2)-galactopyranoside and chlorogenic acid, identified and quantified by LC-MS. The FBuOHf possesses anti-inflammatory and peripheral antinociceptive activities.

Sun T, Liu Y, Li M, Yu H, Piao H. Administration with hyperoside sensitizes breast cancer cells to paclitaxel by blocking the TLR4 signaling. Mol Cell Probes 2020; 53:101602. [PMID: 32447047 DOI: 10.1016/j.mcp.2020.101602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2020] [Revised: 05/07/2020] [Accepted: 05/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Breast cancer is a malignancy and one of the most frequent causes of cancer death among women worldwide. Paclitaxel is a common chemotherapeutic drug and has recently been shown to facilitate tumor cell escape during cytotoxic chemotherapy by inducing inflammatory mediators and pro-survival protein expression. Hyperoside is a flavonoid glycoside compound and exerts anti-inflammation, and anti-tumor growth properties. However, its function in breast cancer chemosensitivity remains poorly elucidated. In this study, hyperoside exhibited little cytotoxicity to normal human breast mammary epithelial cell lines, and also protected against paclitaxel-induced cytotoxicity in MCF-10A. Importantly, treatment with hyperoside engendered not only inhibition of cell viability, but also potentiated cancer cell sensitivity to paclitaxel in TLR4-positive breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells by suppressing cell viability, and increasing cell apoptosis and caspase-3 activity. Nevertheless, although hyperoside exposure restrained cell viability, its treatment presented little effects to paclitaxel sensitivity in TLR4-null HCC1806 cells. Intriguingly, paclitaxel stimulation activated the TLR4-NF-κB signaling, which was reversed after hyperoside administration. Concomitantly, hyperoside also attenuated paclitaxel-mediated anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 expression, but enhanced the effects of paclitaxel on pro-apoptotic Bax expression, and pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 and IL-6 levels in MDA-MB-231 cells. Importantly, restoring the TLR4 pathway overturned hyperoside-evoked chemosensitivity to paclitaxel in MDA-MB-231 cells. Thus, hyperoside may elevate breast cancer cell sensitivity to paclitaxel by blocking TLR4 activation-mediated pro-inflammatory and pro-survival approaches, thereby endorsing its usefulness as a promising therapeutic combination to overcome chemosensitivity in breast cancer.

Abstract
High altitude cerebral edema (HACE) is a high altitude malady caused by acute hypobaric hypoxia (AHH), in which pathogenesis is associated with oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines. Potentilla anserina L is mainly distributed in Tibetan Plateau, and its polysaccharide possesses many physiological and pharmacological properties. In the present study, the protective effect and potential treatment mechanism of Potentilla anserina L polysaccharide (PAP) in HACE were explored. First, we measured the brain water content and observed the pathological changes in brain tissues, furthermore, malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione (GSH) were evaluated by kits. Finally, the protein contents and mRNA expressions of pro-inflammatory (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, vascular endothelial cell growth factor [VEGF], NF-κB, and hypoxia inducible factor-1 α [HIF-1α]) were detected by ELISA kits, RT-PCR, and western blotting. The results demonstrated that PAP reduced the brain water content, alleviated brain tissue injury, reduce the levels of MDA and NO, and increased the activity of SOD and GSH level. In addition, PAP blocking the NF-κB and HIF-1α signaling pathway activation inhibited the generation of downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and VEGF). Therefore, PAP has a potential to treat and prevent of HACE by suppression of oxidative stress and inflammatory response.

Abstract
Microglial cells are known as the main immune cells in the central nervous system, both regulating its immune response and maintaining its homeostasis. Furthermore, the antioxidant α-lipoic acid (LA) is a recognized therapeutic drug for diabetes because it can easily invade the blood–brain barrier. This study investigated the effect of α-LA on the inflammatory response in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated BV-2 microglial cells. Our results revealed that α-LA significantly attenuated several inflammatory responses in BV-2 microglial cells, including pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin (IL)-6, and other cytotoxic molecules, such as nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species. In addition, α-LA inhibited the LPS-induced phosphorylation of ERK and p38 and its pharmacological properties were facilitated via the inhibition of the nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway. Moreover, α-LA suppressed the activation of NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes, multiprotein complexes consisting of NLRP3 and caspase-1, which are involved in the innate immune response. Finally, α-LA decreased the genes accountable for the M1 phenotype, IL-1β and ICAM1, whereas it increased the genes responsible for the M2 phenotype, MRC1 and ARG1. These findings suggest that α-LA alleviates the neuroinflammatory response by regulating microglial polarization.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is one of the most severe heart conditions, which lacks effective therapies. Therefore, it is necessary to develop more efficient drugs for HF. In this study, we investigated the cardioprotective effects of hyperoside against the pathological progression of HF. Thoracic aortic constriction (TAC) was performed to induce HF in rats. Hyperoside treatment improved cardiac function, decreased cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area and heart weight to body weight (HW/BW) ratio in HF rats. Moreover, hyperoside administration repressed apoptosis as evidenced by changing apoptosis-related protein levels, and promoted autophagy in TAC rats and angiotensin II (AngII)-induced H9C2 cells. Inhibition of autophagy by 3-methyladenine (3-MA) attenuated the beneficial effect of hyperoside against apoptosis in H9C2 cells. In summary, these data confirm that hyperoside effectively alleviates HF via suppressing apoptosis and inducing autophagy, which provides evidence that hyperoside may serve as a promising natural drug for treating HF.

Abstract
Microglia respond to adverse stimuli in order to restore brain homeostasis and, upon activation, they release a number of inflammatory mediators. Chronic microglial overactivation is related to neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease. In this work, we show that oleanolic acid (OA), a natural triterpene present in food and medicinal plants, attenuates the activation of BV2 microglial cells induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Cell pretreatment with OA inhibited the release of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and NO, which was associated with the downregulation of the expression of genes encoding for these cytokines and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and the reinforcement of the endogenous antioxidant cell defense. These findings advocate considering OA as a novel neuroprotective agent to inhibit oxidative stress and inflammatory response in activated microglia associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Anadenanthera colubrina var cebil (Griseb.) Altschul is a medicinal plant found throughout the Brazilian semi-arid area. This work performed a bioguided purification of active substances present in ethyl acetate extract from A. colubrina leaves. The anti-Staphylococcus aureus and antioxidant actions were used as markers of bioactivity. The extract was subjected to flash chromatography resulting in five fractions (F1, F2, F3, F4, and F5). The fractions F2 and F4 presented the highest antimicrobial action, with a dose able to inhibit 50% of bacteria growth (IN50) of 19.53 μg/mL for S. aureus UFPEDA 02; whereas F4 showed higher inhibitory action towards DPPH radical (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate) [dose able to inhibit 50% of the radical (IC50) = 133 ± 9 μg/mL]. F2 and F4 were then subjected to preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), resulting in the identification of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and hyperoside as the major compounds in F2 and F4, respectively. Hyperoside and p-hydroxybenzoic acid presented IN50 values of 250 μg/mL and 500 μg/mL against S. aureus UFPEDA 02, respectively. However, the hyperoside had an IN50 of 62.5 μg/mL against S. aureus UFPEDA 705, a clinical isolate with multidrug resistant phenotype. Among the purified compounds, the proanthocyanidins obtained from F2 exhibited the higher antioxidant potentials. Taken together, these results highlight the potential of A. colubrina leaves as an alternative source of biomolecules of interest for the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries.

Abstract
Self-assembling natural drug hydrogels formed without structural modification and able to act as carriers are of interest for biomedical applications. A lack of knowledge about natural drug gels limits there current application. Here, we report on rhein, a herbal natural product, which is directly self-assembled into hydrogels through noncovalent interactions. This hydrogel shows excellent stability, sustained release and reversible stimuli-responses. The hydrogel consists of a three-dimensional nanofiber network that prevents premature degradation. Moreover, it easily enters cells and binds to toll-like receptor 4. This enables rhein hydrogels to significantly dephosphorylate IκBα, inhibiting the nuclear translocation of p65 at the NFκB signalling pathway in lipopolysaccharide-induced BV2 microglia. Subsequently, rhein hydrogels alleviate neuroinflammation with a long-lasting effect and little cytotoxicity compared to the equivalent free-drug in vitro. This study highlights a direct self-assembly hydrogel from natural small molecule as a promising neuroinflammatory therapy.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2019; 57:292-304. [PMID: 30802715 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2018.12.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2018] [Revised: 12/28/2018] [Accepted: 12/29/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypericum attenuatum Choisy, a traditional Chinese herb, has been shown to be effective in the treatment of diseases associated with inflammation and has been used to treat rheumatic arthritis in China for centuries. However, the underlying mechanism of its anti-inflammatory effect is poorly understood. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE In this study, we aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of EtOAc fractions of H. attenuatum Choisy (Ha-EtOAc) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 macrophage inflammation and hypothesized that Ha-EtOAc could attenuate inflammation in the colon. STUDY DESIGN LPS was utilized to induce RAW264.7 cells inflammation. The anti-inflammatory effect of Ha-EtOAc in RAW264.7 cells was evaluated by measuring the inhibition ratio of nitric oxide (NO) production. Murine ulcerative colitis (UC) was induced by treatment with 2.5% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). The basic indexes of the mice, including body weight, food intake and hematochezia, were recorded during mice experiments. METHODS The expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β, were measured by quantitative real-time PCR and western blot. Additionally, the influences of Ha-EtOAc on the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways were determined by western blot and immunofluorescence assays. In addition, the impact of Ha-EtOAc on gut microbiota of mice with UC was detected by 16S rDNA sequencing. RESULTS Ha-EtOAc inhibited the LPS-induced production of NO and decreased the release of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in RAW264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, pretreatment with Ha-EtOAc could suppress the nuclear translocation of p65 and the phosphorylation of Erk1/2, p38 and JNK. Ha-EtOAc treatment ameliorated murine UC, as reflected by a reduced body weight loss, improved colon shortening, alleviated mucosal damage and decreased releases of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, Ha-EtOAc could modulate the composition of microbial communities. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that Ha-EtOAc exhibited anti-inflammatory effects mainly by suppressing the NF-κB and MAPK pathways, and Ha-EtOAc treatment may be a potent therapy for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.
