PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 129:155653. [PMID: 38688143 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155653] [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: 02/03/2024] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rhubarb is widely distributed and cultivated worldwide, and its leaves presented antioxidant activity and could be used as food additive. However, the chemical ingredients, and protective effect of Rheum officinale leaf juice (JROL) on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) are still unclear. PURPOSE This paper sought to the characterization and functional properties of JROL, and explore the underlying mechanism on UC mice. METHODS UPLC-ESI-Q-TOF/MS and other analytical instruments were employed to determine the chemical ingredients of JROL. After inducing UC model using 3% DSS, multiple biological methods were used to evaluate its protective effect and the potential mechanism. RESULTS JROL is rich in proximate compositions and minerals and has high nutritional value, and contains reducing sugars, polysaccharides and pectin. Fifteen compounds were identified using UPLC-ESI-Q-TOF/MS. Among them, rutin has the highest content (2.22 %) in UPLC analysis. JROL presented protective effect on DSS-induced UC, and alleviated morphological alterations and ultra-structural feature of tissue, and the polysaccharides and flavonoids may contribute to its protective effect. JROL inhibited NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway to alleviate inflammatory response, oxidative stress and intestinal injury by decreasing the expression of p-p65, p-IκBα, NLRP3, ASC, etc.. Moreover, it up-regulated the expression of tight junction proteins, and re-balanced the disturbance of gut microbiota to regulate the inflammatory response. Finally, a correlation among the inflammatory response, NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway and gut microbiota was established. Moreover, JROL presented the safety in the acute toxicity test. CONCLUSION JROL could be used as a potential new source for treating UC.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to a cluster of intractable gastrointestinal disorders with an undetermined etiology and a lack of effective therapeutic agents. Amygdalin (Amy) is a glycoside extracted from the seeds of apricot and other Rosaceae plants and it exhibits a wide range of pharmacological properties. Here, the effects and mechanisms of Amy on colitis were examined via 16S rRNA sequencing, ELISA, transmission electron microscopy, Western blot, and immunofluorescence. The results showed that Amy administration remarkably attenuated the signs of colitis (reduced body weight, increased disease activity index, and shortened colon length) and histopathological damage in dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-challenged mice. Further studies revealed that Amy administration significantly diminished DSS-triggered gut barrier dysfunction by lowering pro-inflammatory mediator levels, inhibiting oxidative stress, and reducing intestinal epithelial apoptosis and ferroptosis. Notably, Amy administration remarkably lowered DSS-triggered TLR4 expression and the phosphorylation of proteins related to the NF-κB and MAPK pathways. Furthermore, Amy administration modulated the balance of intestinal flora, including a selective rise in the abundance of S24-7 and a decline in the abundance of Allobaculum, Oscillospira, Bacteroides, Sutterella, and Shigella. In conclusion, Amy can alleviate colitis, which provides data to support the utility of Amy in combating IBD.

Abstract
Juice fermented with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) has received attention due to its health benefits, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Previous research on LAB-fermented goji juice mainly focused on exploring the changes in the metabolite profile and antioxidant activity in vitro, whereas the liver protection properties of LAB-fermented goji juice in vivo are still unknown. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei E10-fermented goji juice (E10F), Lactiplantibacillus plantarum M-fermented goji juice (MF), Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus LGG-fermented goji juice (LGGF) on preventing acute alcoholic liver injury with physiology, gut microbial, and metabolic profiles in mice. Compared with goji juice, E10F, MF, and LGGF enhanced the protective effect against liver injury by reducing serum alanine transaminase (ALT) levels, improving the hepatic glutathione (GSH) antioxidant system, and attenuating inflammation by decreasing the levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β. Furthermore, E10F, MF, and LGGF increased intestinal integrity, restructured the gut microbiota including Bacteroides and Lactobacillus, and altered gut microbial metabolites including kyotorphin, indolelactic acid, and N-methylserotonin. Pretreatment of different LAB-fermented goji juice in mice showed significant differences in gut microbiota and metabolism. The correlation analysis demonstrated that the increase of Lactobacillus, indolelactic acid, and N-methylserotonin by E10F, MF, and LGGF was positively correlated with reduced inflammation and improved liver and gut function. Taken together, E10F, MF, and LGGF all have the potential to be converted into dietary interventions to combat acute alcoholic liver injury. It provided a reference for the study of the hepatoprotective effect of LAB-fermented goji juice.

Wheat Bran Polyphenols Ameliorate DSS-Induced Ulcerative Colitis in Mice by Suppressing MAPK/NF-κB Inflammasome Pathways and Regulating Intestinal Microbiota. Foods 2024; 13:225. [PMID: 38254526 PMCID: PMC10814686 DOI: 10.3390/foods13020225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Wheat bran (WB) is the primary by-product of wheat processing and contains a high concentration of bioactive substances such as polyphenols. This study analyzed the qualitative and quantitative components of polyphenols in wheat bran and their effects on ulcerative colitis (UC) using the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis model in mice. The potential mechanism of wheat bran polyphenols (WBP) was also examined. Our findings indicate that the main polyphenol constituents of WBP were phenolic acids, including vanillic acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, gallic acid, and protocatechuic acid. Furthermore, WBP exerted remarkable protective effects against experimental colitis. This was achieved by reducing the severity of colitis and improving colon morphology. Additionally, WBP suppressed colonic inflammation via upregulation of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 and downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β) in colon tissues. Mechanistically, WBP ameliorated DSS-induced colitis in mice by inhibiting activation of the MAPK/NF-κB pathway. In addition, microbiome analysis results suggested that WBP modulated the alteration of gut microbiota caused by DSS, with an enhancement in the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes and adjustments in the number of Helicobacter, Escherichia-Shigella, Akkermansia, Lactobacillus, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group at the genus level. To conclude, the findings showed that WBP has excellent prospects in reducing colonic inflammation in UC mice.

Abstract
This study explores the protective properties and potential mechanisms of wheat-germ-derived peptide APEPEPAF (APE) against ulcerative colitis. Colitis mice induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) were used as the animal model. The results showed that the APE peptide could alleviate colitis symptoms including weight loss, colon shortening, and histopathological changes. This peptide attenuated the generation of inflammatory cytokines by inhibiting the phosphorylation of protein kinase PKCζ (Thr410) and NF-κB transcriptional activity in DSS-induced mice, suggesting that APE ameliorates colitis inflammation by regulating the PKCζ/NF-κB signaling pathway. APE also preserved the barrier function of the colon by dose-dependently promoting the expression of tight junction proteins (claudin-1, zonula occluded-1, and occludin). In addition, APE significantly decreased the abundance of Bacteroides and increased the abundance of Dubosiella and Lachnospiraceae_UCG-006 to improve the intestinal flora imbalance in DSS-induced colitis mice. Therefore, wheat germ peptide APE can be used as a novel agent and dietary supplement to treat ulcerative colitis..

FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2023; 141:109041. [PMID: 37657558 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2023.109041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023]
Abstract
Arabinoxylan (AX) has been deemed as an antinutritional factor, but limited information has addressed the effects of dietary AX on intestinal health of fish. The present study investigated the effects of dietary AX on intestinal mucosal physical and immunological barriers of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Five isoproteic and isolipidic experimental diets (AXE, AX0, AX2.5, AX5 and AX10) were formulated to contain 0.03% arabinoxylanase as well as 0%, 2.5%, 5% and 10% AX, respectively. Each diet was randomly distributed to triplicate groups of 35 juvenile (average weight 3.14 ± 0.02 g) per tank in a rearing system maintained at 17 ± 1 °C for 9 weeks. Dietary AX supplementation regardless of inclusion levels significantly (P < 0.05) depressed the growth performance and feed utilization. The plasma endothelin-1 and d-lactic acid contents as well as diamino oxidase activity were significantly higher in fish fed diet AX10 compared to fish fed diet AX0. Dietary inclusion of 5-10% AX resulted in decreased intestinal villus height, goblet cell number and desmosome density, increased crypt depth, short and irregular microvilli, widened intercellular space; down-regulated the mRNA levels of occludin in hindgut, claudin3 and ZO-1 in foregut and midgut, but up-regulated the mRNA levels of claudin12 and claudin15 in midgut as well as claudin23 in foregut, midgut and hindgut. Furthermore, dietary 5-10% AX supplementation decreased the midgut and hindgut complement 3, complement 4 and sIgT contents as well as the midgut IgM and hindgut IL-10 contents. Conversely, the hindgut TNF-α and IL-6 contents increased with the rising dietary AX level. RT-qPCR demonstrated that the pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12β, IFN-γ, and TNF-α) and pIgR mRNA levels in midgut and hindgut were up-regulated by dietary AX inclusion of 5-10% AX. Meanwhile, the mRNA levels of p38 MAPK, IκBα, and NF-κB p65 in midgut and hindgut raised gradually with the increasing dietary AX content. The Western blot results showed that the protein expression levels of p38 MAPK and NF-κB generally increased with the rising dietary AX content. Dietary treatment with 0.03% arabinoxylanase did not affect the growth performance and intestinal health of rainbow trout (P > 0.05). In conclusion, excessive dietary AX inclusion (5-10%) increased the intestinal permeability and induced the intestinal inflammatory response via activating MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway, and ultimately damaged the intestinal barrier function of rainbow trout.

Abstract
Oyster polysaccharides (OPS) possess potent anti-inflammatory properties and mediate gut microbiome. The research aimed to investigate the beneficial effect of OPS on attenuating colitis. OPS administration decreased the disease activity index and suppressed the increase in colon length. Hematoxylin and eosin staining results displayed that OPS restored the DSS-induced histopathological damage. After oral administration of OPS, myeloperoxidase activity and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α) in colitis mice were inhibited, while IL-10 was elevated. Western blotting results revealed that OPS improved the expression of tight junction proteins (ZO-1, Claudin-4, and Occludin). Additionally, OPS stabilized the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and prevented the levels of bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharides). OPS activated barrier-protective genes (intestinal trefoil factor) via mediating HIF-1α. These results indicated that OPS alleviated DSS-induced colitis by inhibiting inflammation and regulating HIF-1α. OPS would be a potential candidate to alleviate DSS-induced colitis.

Abstract
Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA), a chalcone glycoside, is a component of Carthamus tinctorius L. and exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects. However, the therapeutic effect and the underlying mechanism of HSYA on ulcerative colitis is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the unexplored protective effects and underlying mechanisms of HSYA on UC. In vitro analyses showed that HSYA reduced the secretion of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and IL-6 and inhibited nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)/gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated pyroptosis in lipopolysaccharide/ adenosine-5'-triphosphate (LPS/ATP)-stimulated macrophages. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) profiling of intracellular metabolites showed that HSYA reduced the increased levels of glucose, glucose 6-phosphate, and lactic acid, and inhibited the increased hexokinase 1 (HK1) expression caused by LPS/ATP stimulation. HK1 shRNA transfection further confirmed that HSYA inhibited the NLRP3/GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis via HK1 downregulation. In vivo analyses showed that HSYA drastically attenuated UC symptoms by relieving body weight loss, a decline in colon length, and inflammatory infiltration in colonic tissues induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). HSYA also reduced the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-18. Moreover, HSYA inhibited HK1/NLRP3/GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis in DSS-induced colitis mice. Finally, 16S rRNA sequencing analyses of gut microbiota revealed that HSYA reversed gut microbiota dysbiosis by reducing the abundance of Proteobacteria and increasing that of Bacteroidetes. This study demonstrated that HSYA not only exerted anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting HK1/NLRP3/GSDMD and suppressing pyroptosis but also regulated gut microbiota in mice with DSS-induced colitis. Our findings provide new experimental evidence that HSYA might be a potential candidate for treating inflammatory bowel diseases.

Oxymatrine ameliorated experimental colitis via mechanisms involving inflammatory DCs, gut microbiota and TLR/NF-κB pathway. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 115:109612. [PMID: 36584572 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2022.109612] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
It is common knowledge that the crosstalk of gut microbiota (GM) and dendritic cells (DCs) are critical for the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). As a major bioactive constituent derived from the root of the Sophora flavescens, Oxymatrine (OMT) was used to treat IBD in China. However, it is still unknown whether OMT ameliorates IBD by regulating the crosstalk between DCs and GM. In the present study, after 10 days of OMT (100 mg/kg/day) treated mice with colitis induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), the change rate of body weight, colon weight, colon weight index, colon length, DAI score and colonic pathological damage scores of colitis mice were significantly ameliorate, followed with fewer ulceration and inflammatory cell infiltration, the increased expression of IL-4 and IL-13, and the decreased expression of CCL-2, IL-33 and IFN-γ. The percents of inflammatory DCs (such as TNF-α+DCs, iNOS+DCs, CXCR5+DCs and E-cadherin+DCs) were markedly decreased, and the GM composition was regulated. Importantly, it is positive correlated between the efficacy of OMT on colitis, GM and inflammatory DCs. Meanwhile, Western blotting assay showed that OMT suppressed the activation of TLR4, Myd88, IRAK4, IRAK1, TRAF6, TAK1, TAB, MKK3, MKK6, P38, NF-κB in the TLR / NF-κB signaling pathway. In summary, OMT exhibits the protective effect against the DSS-induced experimental colitis, which was achieved by regulating the crosstalk of inflammatory DCs and GM, and inhibiting the TLR / NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is becoming an increasingly serious health problem. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a newly isolated Lactobacillus species that produces feruloyl esterase (FAEb) on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced UC in mice. In this study, FAEb supplementation slowed body weight loss and mitigated colon length shortening, the severity of fecal occult blood, and increases in the disease activity index (DAI) in UC model mice. FAEb supplementation was also shown to reduce the expression of proinflammatory factors, increase the antioxidant capacity, improve the production of beneficial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), upregulate the expression of tight junction proteins, reduce the histopathological scores, and reduce mucous barrier damage in the gut. Furthermore, FAEb supplementation was shown to inhibit inflammatory NF-κB signaling pathway activity, increase the abundance of beneficial bacteria, and regulate the balance of microbiota in the gut. These results suggest that FAEb may serve as a potential probiotic to prevent and treat UC.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC), one of the foremost common forms of inflammatory bowel disease, poses a serious threat to human health. Currently, safe and effective treatments are not available. This study investigated the protective effect of ginkgolide C (GC), a terpene lactone extracted from Ginkgo biloba leaves, on UC and its underlying mechanism. The results showed that GC remarkably mitigated the severity of DSS-induced colitis in mice, as demonstrated by decreased body weight loss, reduced disease activity index, mitigated tissue damage, and increased colon length. Furthermore, GC inhibited DSS-induced hyperactivation of inflammation-related signaling pathways (NF-κB and MAPK) to reduce the production of inflammatory mediators, thereby mitigating the inflammatory response in mice. GC administration also restored gut barrier function by elevating the number of goblet cells and boosting the levels of tight junction-related proteins (claudin-3, occludin, and ZO-1). In addition, GC rebalanced the intestinal flora of DSS-treated mice by increasing the diversity of the flora, elevating the abundance of beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Allobaculum, and decreasing the abundance of harmful bacteria, such as Bacteroides, Oscillospira, Ruminococcus, and Turicibacter. Taken together, these results suggest that GC administration effectively alleviates DSS-induced colitis by inhibiting the inflammatory response, maintaining mucosal barrier integrity, and regulating intestinal flora. This study may provide a scientific basis for the rational use of GC in preventing colitis and other related diseases.

Abstract
Milt is an underutilized fish processing by-product containing valuable nutrients for human health. Here, a gastrointestinal hydrolysate of degreased yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradiata) milt contained 70.6% arginine-rich protein, 20% nucleic acids, 7.1% minerals and 2.3% carbohydrates. Yellowtail milt hydrolysates (YMH) effectively attenuated the H2O2-induced burst of intracellular reactive oxygen species, plasma membrane impairment, loss of cell viability, interleukin 8 production and the expression of claudin-4 and occludin in Caco-2 cells with its protein fraction playing a greater antioxidant role than its nucleic acid fraction. YMH also significantly counteracted the tumor necrosis factor α- and interleukin 1β-stimulated interleukin 8 production and cyclooxygenase-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression in Caco-2 cells and inhibited the production of nitric oxide and proinflammatory mediators in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells depending on its protein fraction, rather than its nucleic acid fraction. YMH and a positive drug 5-aminosalicylic acid were intragastrically administered to C57BL/6 mice daily for 7 days during and after 4-day dextran sodium sulphate exposure. Based on clinical signs, colon histopathology and biochemical analysis of colonic tight junction proteins, mucus compositions and goblet cells, YMH ameliorated mouse colitis symptoms and intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction more effectively than 5-aminosalicylic acid. According to myeloperoxidase activity, proinflammatory cytokines and NF-κB, YMH and 5-aminosalicylic acid exerted equivalent inhibitory effects on colonic and systemic inflammation. Overall, YMH have considerable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacies to maintain gut health.

Abstract
Intestinal bowel disease (IBD) has always been tough to treat, therefore researchers are struggle to look for treatments that are safe, low cost, and effective. Food-derived peptides are thought to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but they have not been studied in depth in the treatment of IBD. Based on this, we explored the effect of tilapia skin peptides (TSPs) on the remission of colitis in the present study. Colonic epithelial cell lines CT-26 and HT-29 were co-treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and TSPs for 12 h. Cell viability was assessed by CCK8 assay. Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis model was established and 100 mg/kg TSPs were oral administered at the same time as DSS intervention. Colonic mucosal barrier function was assessed by western blotting. The inflammatory responses were evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR along with ELISA, respectively. Apoptosis was investigated by TUNEL and flow cytometry. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to characterize peptides composition of TSPs. It was found that TSPs significantly inhibit LPS-induced inflammation and apoptosis in vitro without affecting cell viability. Moreover, the upregulation and activation of Caspase-3 and Caspase-8 were also reversed by TSPs. Subsequently, in vivo experiments demonstrated that TSPs can attenuate DSS induced colitis, manifested by a decrease in weight loss and colon shortening. The expression of ZO-1 and occluding were significantly increased, and the pro-inflammatory cytokines were down-regulated. Meanwhile, TSPs alleviated DSS-induced apoptosis and reduced the expressions of Caspase-3 and Caspase-8. Finally, we found that TSPs were composed of 51 short peptides, and 12 of them were predicted to have significant biological activity. Collectively, this study suggested that TSPs can alleviate colon damage caused by foreign stimuli via inhibiting inflammation and apoptosis which indicated that it has great potential value for the treatment of IBD.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a major inflammatory disease worldwide. We previously demonstrated that licorice residue flavones (LFs) showed satisfactory efficacy in the treatment of UC. Therefore, research into the ingredients of LFs may lead to the discovery of novel anti-UC targets. In the current study, we separated licoflavone B (LB) from LFs and administered it to dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-exposed C57BL/6 mice for 14 days. Our results demonstrated that high dose LB (120mg/kg) significantly prevented DSS-induced weight loss, disease activity index (DAI) increase, histological damage, and colonic inflammation, indicating that LB has ameliorative effects on UC. We also investigated the composition of the intestinal barrier and microflora in an attempt to explore the mechanisms of LB against UC. As a result, we found that LB preserved the integrity of the colonic barrier by inhibiting colonic cell apoptosis and protecting the expression of occludin, claudin-1, and ZO-1. Moreover, LB reshaped the microflora composition by suppressing harmful bacteria (Enterococcus et al.) and boosting beneficial microorganisms (Bacteroides et al.). Further molecular exploration implied that LB exerted anti-UC activity through blocking the MAPK pathway. Here, we explored anti-UC activity of LB for the first time and clarified its mechanisms. These results will provide valuable clues for the discovery of novel anti-UC agents.

Abstract
Probiotics plays an important role in regulating gut microbiota and maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from probiotics have emerged as potential mediators of host immune response and anti-inflammatory effect. However, the anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism of probiotics derived EVs on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unclear. In this study, the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum Q7-derived extracellular vesicles (Q7-EVs) on gut microbiota and intestinal inflammation was investigated in C57BL/6J mice. The results showed that Q7-EVs alleviated DSS-induced colitis symptoms, including colon shortening, bleeding, and body weight loss. Consumption of Q7-EVs reduced the degree of histological damage. DSS-upregulated proinflammatory cytokine levels including IL-6, IL-1β, IL-2 and TNF-α were reduced significantly by Q7-EVs (p < 0.05). 16S rRNA sequencing results showed that Q7-EVs improved the dysregulation of gut microbiota and promoted the diversity of gut microbiota. It was observed that the pro-inflammatory bacteria (Proteobacteria) were reduced and the anti-inflammatory bacteria (Bifidobacteria and Muribaculaceae) were increased. These findings indicated that Q7-EVs might alleviate DSS-induced ulcerative colitis by regulating the gut microbiota.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the intestine caused by many reasons, and it may even develop into colon cancer. Probiotics are normal bacteria that exist in the human body and have been proven to regulate the balance of intestinal flora and alleviate inflammation. The current study aimed to study the effect of Lactobacillus fermentum ZS40 (ZS40) on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis mice. The length and weight of the colon were measured, and the histopathological morphological changes of colon tissue were observed to evaluate the effects of ZS40 on colitis. Biochemical kits, ELISA kits, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), and western blot were also used to detect the effects of ZS40 on serum and colon tissue related oxidative indicators and pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. We found that ZS40 could reduce colonic inflammatory cell infiltration and goblet cell necrosis, increase total superoxide dismutase and catalase in mouse serum, and reduce myeloperoxidase and malondialdehyde levels. ZS40 could down-regulate the level of proinflammatory cytokines and up-regulate the level of anti-inflammatory cytokines. More importantly, ZS40 down-regulated the relative expression of nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κBp65), IL-6, and TNF-α mRNA and protein, up-regulated the relative expression of inhibitor kapa B alpha (IκB-α). By regulating the NF-κB and MAPK pathways to down-regulated the relative expression of p38 and JNK1/2 mRNA and p38, p-p38, JNK1/2, and p-JNK1/2 proteins. Our study suggested that ZS40 may serve as a potential therapeutical strategy for ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of long-term Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) treatment on modulating gut microbiota diversity and composition, as well as its association with intestinal barrier function. In this study, C57BL/6J mice were fed different concentrations of NMN, and their feces were collected for detection of 16S rDNA and non-targeted metabolites to explore the effects of NMN on intestinal microbiota and metabolites. The results revealed that NMN increased the abundance of butyric acid-producing bacteria (Ruminococcae_UCG-014 and Prevotellaceae_NK3B31_group) and other probiotics (Akkermansia muciniphila), while the abundance of several harmful bacteria (Bilophila and Oscillibacter) were decreased after NMN treatment. Meanwhile, the level of bile acid-related metabolites in feces from the G1 group (0.1 mg/ml) was significantly increased compared to the control group, including cholic acid, taurodeoxycholic acid, taurocholic acid, glycocholic acid, and tauro-β-muricholic acid. In addition, long-term NMN treatment affected the permeability of the intestinal mucosa. The number of goblet cells and mucus thickness increased, as well as expression of tight junction protein. These results demonstrate that NMN reduced intestinal mucosal permeability and exerts a protective effect on the intestinal tract. This study lays the foundation for exploring NMN's utility in clinical research.

The Regulatory Effects of Licochalcone A on the Intestinal Epithelium and Gut Microbiota in Murine Colitis. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26144149. [PMID: 34299424 PMCID: PMC8304238 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26144149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2021] [Revised: 07/01/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
The gut epithelium is a mechanical barrier that protects the host from the luminal microenvironment and interacts with the gut microflora, which influences the development and progression of ulcerative colitis (UC). Licochalcone A (LA) exerts anti-inflammatory effects against UC; however, whether it also regulates both the gut barrier and microbiota during colitis is unknown. The current study was conducted to reveal the regulatory effects of LA on the intestinal epithelium and gut microflora in C57BL/6 mice subjected to dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). Sulfasalazine (SASP) was used as the positive control. Results of clinical symptoms evaluation, hematoxylin, and eosin (H&E) staining, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) assays showed that LA significantly inhibited DSS-induced weight loss, disease activity index (DAI) increase, histological damage, and gut inflammation. Additionally, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis showed that LA maintained the integrity of the intestinal barrier by suppressing cell apoptosis and preserving the expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins. Notably, the optimal dose of LA for gut barrier preservation was low, while that for anti-inflammatory effects was high, indicating that LA might preserve gut barrier integrity via direct effects on the epithelial cells (ECs) and TJ proteins. Furthermore, 16S rRNA analysis suggested that the regulatory effect of LA on the gut microbiota differed distinctly according to dose. Correlation analysis indicated that a low dose of LA significantly modulated the intestinal barrier-associated bacteria as compared with a moderate or high dose of LA. Western blot (WB) analysis indicated that LA exhibited anti-UC activity partly by blocking the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. Our results further elucidate the pharmacological activity of LA against UC and will provide valuable information for future studies regarding on the regulatory effects of LA on enteric diseases.

Abstract
Research has shown that cartilage containing chondroitin sulfate and protein presents versatile bioactivities. Chondroitin sulfate in cartilage is beneficial to activate the immune system while the protein/peptide has not been fully understood. The current study investigated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of ethanol-soluble hydrolysates of sturgeon cartilage (ESCH) prepared through hot-pressure, enzymatic hydrolysis and ethanol extraction. UV spectrum, IR and agarose gel electrophoresis results suggested the successful exclusion of chondroitin sulfate from peptides. Nitric oxide (NO) floods in cells activated by inflammation. It was inhibited when administrated with ESCH. To further explain the observed anti-inflammatory activity, ESCH was separated with Sephadex G-15 into 3 components, among which F3 showed a higher NO inhibition rate and significantly reduced the production of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-6. In addition, the yield of IL-10 increased. Western blotting suggested that F3 downregulated the NO content and IL-6 level by suppressing Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) channels. Moreover, both ESCH and F3 showed DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging abilities which was possibly related to the anti-inflammatory property. These results indicated that ESCH behaved anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Cartilage may be a good source to produce anti-inflammatory peptides.

Abstract
This study explored the effects of lotus seedpod oligomeric procyanidins (LSOPC) and their main monomer catechin (CC) on the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and Caco-2 cytotoxicity during gastrointestinal digestion. Studies have found that LSOPC and CC inhibited the AGEs formation effectively in simulated gastrointestinal digestion and protected Caco-2 cells from AGEs attack. The effect of CC on the inhibition of AGEs formation was significantly better than that of LSOPC. Further, they could effectively inhibit the digestive enzyme activity, reactive oxygen species, RAGE-p38MAPK-NF-κB signaling pathway, inflammatory factors (tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 6), and adhesion factors (intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1) to protect Caco-2 cells.
