Tiwari V, Hemalatha S. Sida cordifolia L. attenuates behavioral hypersensitivity by interfering with KIF17-NR2B signaling in rat model of neuropathic pain. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 319:117085. [PMID: 37640257 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Revised: 08/19/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Sida cordifolia L., a perennial subshrub belonging to the Malvaceae family, holds noteworthy significance in the Indian Ayurvedic System and global texts. Roots of this plant are reported to be useful in neurodegenerative disorders, facial paralysis, and treating several neuropathic pain conditions such as neuralgia, and sciatica. However, despite these claims, there remains a dearth of experimental evidence showcasing the effectiveness of Sida cordifolia L. roots in mitigating neuropathic pain. AIM OF THE STUDY The primary objective of this study was to assess the analgesic properties of the whole extract (SCE) obtained from the roots of Sida cordifolia L., as well as its aqueous fraction (SAF) in rat model of chronic constriction injury (CCI)-induced neuropathic pain. Furthermore, in-depth phytochemical and molecular biology studies were conducted to identify the potential phytoconstituents and unveil the underlying mechanisms of action. MATERIAL AND METHODS DCM: Methanol (1:1) was used to extract the roots of Sida cordifolia L. to get whole extract (SCE) and was subjected to phytochemical investigations including LC-MS analysis. Analgesic potential of SCE was evaluated in chronic constriction injury (CCI) model of neuropathic pain in rats followed by its bioactivity guided fractionation using in-vitro anti-inflammatory assay and assessment of most potent fraction (SAF) in in-vivo pain model. We have also performed the detailed phytochemical and molecular biology investigations to delineate the mechanism of action of Sida cordifolia root extract. RESULTS Chronic constriction injury leads to significant decrease in paw withdrawal threshold and paw withdrawal latency indicating development of hypersensitivity in rodents. Treatment with SCE and its most potent aqueous fraction (SAF) leads to significant and dose-dependent reduction in pain-like behavior of nerve injured rats. Pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β), glia cell markers (Iba1, ICAM1), neuropeptides (CGRP and Substance P), KIF-17 and NR2B expressions were found to be significantly upregulated in DRG and spinal cord of nerve injured rats. Treatment with SCE and SAF suppressed oxido-inflammatory cascade along with attenuation of KIF-17 mediated NR2B trafficking and neuroinflammation in DRG and spinal tissues of neuropathic rats. HPTLC and HR-MS analysis suggest betaine as major constituent in SAF which along with other phytoconstituents. CONCLUSIONS Both the whole extract (SCE) and the aqueous fraction (SAF) demonstrate a significant reduction in mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity by inhibiting KIF-17 mediated NR2B signaling in nerve injured rats and may be used as a potential alternative for the treatment of chronic pain. Our findings support the use of roots of Sida cordifolia L. in neuropathic pain conditions as acclaimed by its traditional use.

Essential Components from Plant Source Oils: A Review on Extraction, Detection, Identification, and Quantification. Molecules 2023; 28:6881. [PMID: 37836725 PMCID: PMC10574037 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28196881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Oils derived from plant sources, mainly fixed oils from seeds and essential oil from other parts of the plant, are gaining interest as they are the rich source of beneficial compounds that possess potential applications in different industries due to their preventive and therapeutic actions. The essential oils are used in food, medicine, cosmetics, and agriculture industries as they possess antimicrobial, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Plant based oils contain polyphenols, phytochemicals, and bioactive compounds which show high antioxidant activity. The extractions of these oils are a crucial step in terms of the yield and quality attributes of plant oils. This review paper outlines the different modern extraction techniques used for the extraction of different seed oils, including microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), cold-pressed extraction (CPE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), supercritical-fluid extraction (SFE), enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE), and pulsed electric field-assisted extraction (PEF). For the identification and quantification of essential and bioactive compounds present in seed oils, different modern techniques-such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gas chromatography-infrared spectroscopy (GC-IR), atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (AFS), and electron microscopy (EM)-are highlighted in this review along with the beneficial effects of these essential components in different in vivo and in vitro studies and in different applications. The primary goal of this research article is to pique the attention of researchers towards the different sources, potential uses and applications of oils in different industries.

Optimization of ultrasonic-assisted extraction of polyphenol from Areca nut (Areca catechu L.) seeds using response surface methodology and its effects on osteogenic activity. ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2023; 98:106511. [PMID: 37423070 PMCID: PMC10339244 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2023.106511] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
Areca nut (Areca catechu L.) seeds are rich in polyphenols, while few studies focused on it. This study was designed to obtain the maximum extraction yield of areca nut seed polyphenol (ACP). An ultrasonic-assisted extraction method optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) was established to extract ACP. Under the optimal conditions (ultrasonic power of 87 W, ethanol concentration of 65%, extraction temperature of 62℃, and extraction time of 153 min), the actual extraction yield of ACP was 139.62 mg/g. Then we investigated the effects of ACP on the proliferation, differentiation and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts. Results suggested that ACP notably promoted the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells without cytotoxicity, and the contents of collagen type Ⅰ (COL-Ⅰ) and osteocalcin (OCN) were rising. Meanwhile, the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralized nodules were enhanced. These findings demonstrated that ACP could induce the proliferation, differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts in vitro. This work provided a certain experimental basis for the developing and utilization of polyphenols from Areca nut seeds.

Abstract
Sesamol, an active component in sesame seeds, is known for its health benefits. However, its effect on bone metabolism remains unexplored. The present study aims to investigate the effect of sesamol on growing, adult and osteoporotic skeleton and its mechanism of action. Sesamol at various doses were administered orally to growing, ovariectomized, and ovary-intact rats. Alterations in bone parameters were examined using micro-CT and histological studies. Western blot and mRNA expression from long bones were performed. We further evaluated the effect of sesamol on osteoblast and osteoclast function and its mode of action in the cell culture system. These data showed that sesamol was able to promote peak bone mass in growing rats. However, sesamol had the opposite effect in ovariectomized rats, evident from gross deterioration of trabecular and cortical microarchitecture. Concurrently, it improved the bone mass in adult rats. In vitro results revealed that sesamol enhances the bone formation by stimulating osteoblast differentiation through MAPK, AKT, and BMP-2 signaling. In contrast, it enhances osteoclast differentiation and expression of osteoclast-specific genes in osteoclast differentiation medium. Interestingly, in presence of estrogen, the effect reversed and sesamol decreased osteoclast differentiation, in vitro. Sesamol improves bone microarchitecture in growing and ovary-intact rats, whereas it enhances the bone deterioration in ovariectomized rats. While sesamol promotes bone formation, its opposing effect on the skeleton can be attributed to its dual effect on osteoclastogenesis in presence and absence of estrogen. These findings in the preclinical context suggests a special attention towards the detrimental effect of sesamol in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Calcium deficiency can lead to osteoporosis. Adequate calcium intake can improve calcium deficiency and prevent osteoporosis. Milk powder is the best source of dietary calcium supplements. Probiotics and prebiotics are considered to be beneficial substances for promoting calcium absorption. In this study, synbiotic milk powder (SMP) was prepared by combining the three, and its calcium supplementation effect and osteogenic activity were evaluated in calcium deficient mice. Through prebiotic screening experiments in vitro, after adding 1.2% iso-malto-oligosaccharide, the number of viable bacteria and the calcium enrichment of Lactobacillus plantarum JJBYG12 increased by 8.15% and 94.53% compared with those of the control group. Long-term calcium deficiency led to a significant reduction in calcium absorption and bone calcium content in mice, accompanied by structural deterioration of bone trabeculae. SMP significantly improved apparent calcium absorption, increased serum calcium and phosphorus levels, and decreased ALP activity and CTX-1 levels. In the meantime, the bone mineral density increased significantly, and the number of bone trabeculae and the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts also increased. SMP has good dietary calcium supplementation capacity and bone remodeling ability without significant side effects on major organs. These findings provide insights into using SMP as a dietary calcium source to improve bone health.

J Biol Chem 2022; 298:102324. [PMID: 35931113 PMCID: PMC9440389 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2022.102324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2022] [Revised: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Cholesterol is one of the essential intrauterine factors required for fetal growth and development. Maternal high cholesterol levels are known to be detrimental for offspring health. However, its long-term effect on offspring skeletal development remains to be elucidated. We performed our studies in two strains of mice (C57BL6/J and Swiss Albino) and human subjects (65 mother–female newborn dyads) to understand the regulation of offspring skeletal growth by maternal high cholesterol. We found that mice offspring from high-cholesterol-fed dams had low birth weight, smaller body length, and delayed skeletal ossification at the E18.5 embryonic stage. Moreover, we observed that the offspring did not recover from the reduced skeletal mass and exhibited a low bone mass phenotype throughout their life. We attributed this effect to reduced osteoblast cell activity with a concomitant increase in the osteoclast cell population. Our investigation of the molecular mechanism revealed that offspring from high-cholesterol-fed dams had a decrease in the expression of ligands and proteins involved in hedgehog signaling. Further, our cross-sectional study of human subjects showed a significant inverse correlation between maternal blood cholesterol levels and cord blood bone formation markers. Moreover, the bone formation markers were significantly lower in the female newborns of hypercholesterolemic mothers compared with mothers with normal cholesterolemic levels. Together, our results suggest that maternal high cholesterol levels deleteriously program offspring bone mass and bone quality and downregulate the hedgehog signaling pathway in their osteoblasts.
