Abstract
Macrophages are the major tumor-infiltrating leukocytes, and tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) play a critical role in cancer-related inflammation since they show alternative polarization to M1 (tumor-inhibited macrophages) or M2 (tumor-promoted macrophages) phenotype. Brassica rapa L. (B. rapa) has been clinically proven to have anti-tumor and immunity-enhancing activity, and the polysaccharides of B. rapa (BRP) have been reported to have an immunoregulatory effect on macrophages. In this study, we focus on macrophage polarization to investigate the mechanism of anti-tumor response of BRP in vivo and in vitro. We found that BRP improved the expression of M1 markers, including iNOS, COX-2, HLA-DR, CD11b and M1-related cytokines. The expression of M2 markers Arg-1, CD206 and CD163 induced by IL-4 were inhibited by BRP treatment, resulting in the inhibition of tumor growth both in vivo and in co-culture experiments in vitro. The activation of STAT signaling pathway were significantly regulated by BRP, which are important signals in TAM polarization. Overall, the results indicated that BRP has anti-tumor effect through mediating macrophage polarization.

Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27072186. [PMID: 35408589 PMCID: PMC9000498 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27072186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Revised: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Plants are a treasure trove of several important phytochemicals that are endowed with therapeutic and medicinal properties. Ribes rubrum L. (red currants) are seasonal berries that are widely consumed for their nutritional value and are known for their health benefits. Red currants are a rich source of secondary metabolites such as polyphenols, tocopherols, phenolic acids, ascorbic acid, and flavonoids. In this study, sunlight-mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was successfully accomplished within 9 min after adding the silver nitrate solution to the aqueous extract of red currant. The synthesised AgNPs were characterised with UV–Vis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDX). The efficacy of aqueous extracts of red currants and AgNPs in controlling the growth of some pathogenic fungi and bacteria was also investigated. The UV–visible (UV–Vis) spectrum displayed an absorption peak at 435 nm, which corresponded to the surface plasmon band. The strong silver signal on the EDX spectrum at 3 keV, authenticated the formation of AgNPs. The several peaks on the FTIR spectrum of the aqueous extract of red currant and the nanoparticles indicated the presence of some important functional groups such as amines, carbonyl compounds, and phenols that are vital in facilitating the process of capping and bioreduction, besides conferring stability to nanoparticles. The TEM microphotographs showed that the nanoparticles were well dispersed, roughly spherical, and the size of the nanoparticles ranged from 8 to 59 nm. The red currant silver nanoparticles were highly potent in inhibiting the growth and proliferation of some fungal and bacterial test isolates, especially Alternaria alternata, Colletotrichum musae, and Trichoderma harzianum. Based on the robust antifungal and antibacterial activity demonstrated in this study, red currant nanoparticles can be investigated as potential replacements for synthetic fungicides and antibiotics.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The genus Ribes Linn., which belongs to the Grossulariaceae family, contains 160 species distributed mainly in temperate and cold regions of the Northern Hemisphere. There are 59 species in southwest, northwest and northeast China. Some species of Ribes have been used as traditional and local medicines for the treatment of glaucoma, cardiovascular disease, stomachache, hepatitis, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and other ailments. However, the data provided in recent years have not been collated and compared. AIM OF THE STUDY This review aims to summarize the current status of ethnopharmacological uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology, clinical applications, and pharmacokinetics of the genus Ribes to better understand the therapeutic potential of the genus Ribes in the future and hope to provide a relatively novel perspective for further clinical application on the genus. MATERIALS AND METHODS The literature on Ribes was collected through a series of scientific search engines including Elsevier, ACS, Springer, Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, Baidu Scholar, Wiley, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and books. RESULTS Ribes species have been used for detoxification, glaucoma, cardiovascular disease, stomachache, hepatitis, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and other ailments. These plants mainly contain phenolic glycosides, flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, polysaccharides, etc. Most traditional uses are related to biological activity and have been confirmed by modern research. Pharmacological studies in vitro and in vivo revealed that the extracts and pure compounds possessed significant hypolipidemic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antibacterial, and antiviral activity, eyesight protection and other effects. CONCLUSIONS The traditional uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and clinical applications described in this article explained that the Ribes species has numerous activities, and these findings will promote further action in the area of mechanism research. However, very few preclinical and clinical studies have focused on the toxicology and pharmacokinetics of crude extracts and pure compounds from the genus Ribes. Moreover, several clinical evidence to support the health benefits of Ribes plants. The development of new medicines based on Ribes species as ingredients may be restricted. The pharmacological activity, clinical efficacy and safety of Ribes species need to be verified by systematic and comprehensive preclinical studies and clinical trials.

Abstract
Blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum L.) have various benefits for human health. In particular, a polysaccharide derived from blackcurrant was found to be an immunostimulating food ingredient in a mouse model. We named a polysaccharide derived from blackcurrant cassis polysaccharide (CAPS). In a previous clinical study, we reported that CAPS affects skin dehydration, demonstrating its effectiveness against skin inflammation was related to atopic dermatitis; skin inflammation caused skin dehydration. However, there are no studies regarding CAPS effectiveness against skin dehydration. The current study aimed to investigate CAPS effectiveness against skin dehydration. We further demonstrate the effect of oral administration of CAPS on skin dehydration caused by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation-induced inflammation in mice. We found that CAPS administration suppresses skin dehydration caused by UV irradiation. We also found that CAPS decreases interleukin-6 and matrix metalloproteinase transcription levels in the mouse skin. These results show that CAPS improves skin hydration in UV-irradiated mice.

ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2018; 49:206-214.

Abstract
In this study, the influence of ultrasound irradiation on the characterization and bioactivities of the polysaccharide from blackcurrant fruits (BCP, molecular weight: Mw = 3.26 × 104 kDa) was investigated. Two degraded polysaccharides (U-400, Mw = 1.89 × 104 kDa, and U-600, Mw = 1.32 × 104 kDa) were obtained by different ultrasound powers of 400 W and 600 W, respectively. Compared with BCP, U-400 and U-600 showed 63.52% and 68.85% reductions in the particle size (Zavg), respectively; moreover, the dynamic viscosity of BCP was reduced by 27.88%, and 33.63%, separately. The reducing sugar content and thermal stability increased with the increase of ultrasound intensity. The degraded polysaccharides contained the same monosaccharide species as those of BCP but at different molar ratios. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic analysis confirmed that the degraded polysaccharides and BCP exhibited the similar structural features, which were mainly composed of six glycosidic bonds. A reduction in surface area of the flake-like structure was observed in the degraded polysaccharides compared to that of BCP, and they had no triple helix structure. Furthermore, the precise structural characteristics of U-600 were identified by 2D NMR analysis. The results of the bioactivity assays indicated that the ultrasound irradiation could evidently enhance the antioxidant (hydroxyl and superoxide radicals scavenging, lipid peroxidation inhibition, and DNA damage protection activities), α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition activities of BCP. These activities increased in the order of U-600 > U-400 > BCP. In particular, the DNA protection and α-amylase inhibition activities for U-600 were 52.19 ± 1.34% and 75.98 ± 0.77%, respectively, which were 2 times higher than those of BCP. U-600 prepared with the higher-intensity ultrasound exhibited the best physicochemical properties and bioactivities among the three polysaccharides. These results suggested that ultrasound irradiation was an efficient, green method to produce value-added polysaccharide for use in functional food or medicine.

Abstract
Low-sugar gooseberry jams enriched by the addition of black chokeberry, elderberry, Japanese quince, flax seeds and wheat germs were examined for the content of total polyphenols, total flavonoids, and total anthocyanins as well as their antioxidant activity (DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP) and individual phenolic compounds. The jams were evaluated immediately after production and after 6 and 12 months of storage. Samples were stored at chilled temperature (10 °C) and room temperature (20 °C). A significant increase in the level of the analyzed components and antioxidant activity were determined in jams with the addition of chokeberry, elderberry and Japanese quince, while in the case of other plant ingredients the differences were not always significant. Immediately after production, the highest levels of total polyphenols (330 mg/100 g), total flavonoids (160 mg/100 g) and total anthocyanins (35 mg/100 g) were recorded in the gooseberry jam with a 15% addition of chokeberry fruit. In the examined jams, p-cumaric acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, (+)-catechin and rutin were identified and (+)-catechin were determined in the greatest quantities (1.874-5.660 mg/100 g). The storage conditions of jams determined the level of the examined constituents. Storage temperature generally had significant effect on the level of compounds with antioxidant properties, lower in the products which were chill-stored compared to those stored at room temperature. Anthocyanins were found to be the most sensitive components during storage.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that causes dry skin and functional disruption of the skin barrier. AD is often accompanied by allergic inflammation. AD patient suffer from heavy itching,
and their quality of life is severely affected. Some pharmaceuticals for AD have some side effects such as skin atrophy. So it is necessary to develop mild solutions such as food ingredients without side effects. There
are various causes of AD. It is especially induced by immunological imbalances such as IFN-γ reduction. IFN-γ has an important role in regulating IgE, which can cause an allergy reaction. NC/Nga mice develop AD and IgE
hyperproduction. In a previous study, we revealed that administration of polysaccharide from black currant (R. nigrum) has an effect on immunomodulation. It induces IFN-γ production from myeloid
dendritic cells. We named this polysaccharide cassis polysaccharide (CAPS). In this report, we studied the effect of administering CAPS on atopic dermatitis in NC/Nga mice. Thirty NC/Nga mice that developed symptoms of
atopic dermatitis were used. We divided them into three groups (control, CAPS administration 12 mg/kg/day, CAPS administration 60 mg/kg/day). For 4 weeks, we evaluated clinical score, serum IgE levels, gene expression of
spleen, and skin pathology. We revealed that CAPS administration improves atopic dermatitis symptoms. We also found that CAPS administration suppresses IgE hyperproduction and induces IFN-γ gene transcription in the
spleen. Finally, we confirmed that CAPS administration suppresses mast cell migration to epidermal skin. These results indicated that CAPS has an effect on AD.

Black currant (Ribes nigrum) has various beneficial properties for human health. In particular, polysaccharide from black currant was found to be an immunostimulating food ingredient and was reported to have antitumor activity in a mouse model. We named it cassis polysaccharide (CAPS). In a previous study, CAPS administration caused tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) production in vitro and in vivo, but the immunological mechanism of CAPS was not demonstrated. In this study, we revealed the CAPS immunostimulating mechanism in vitro. First, we found that CAPS activated dendritic cells (DCs). Second, we investigated whether it depends on Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and myeloid differentiation primary response (Myd). We concluded that CAPS stimulates DCs through Myd88 depending TLR4 signaling and activates Th1-type cytokine release.

Abstract
A polysaccharide-rich substance isolated from black currant, named cassis polysaccharide (CAPS), was partially digested with beta-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae and its immunostimulatory activity was investigated. The in vitro cytokine-inducing effect of CAPS on RAW264 cells was gradually decreased along with lowering of the average MW of CAPS. In vivo, partially digested CAPS with a mean MW of approximately 20,000 showed the most potent antitumor activity against Ehrlich carcinoma in mice.

Abstract
Eleven blackcurrant cultivars grown with pesticide (PT) and without pesticide treatment (PF) were evaluated to compare the differences in plant growth and physical condition, total anthocyanin content, ascorbic acid content, total antioxidant capacity, effect on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production and anticancer cell proliferation activities. Results showed that the yield and growth of PT blackcurrants were higher. However, PF blackcurrants contained a higher amount of ascorbic acid, and displayed an increased inhibition against cancer cells compared to PT blackcurrants, indicating that PF blackcurrants have an increased potential to deliver health-promoting benefit for consumers. Significant differences were observed between blackcurrant cultivars in relation to plant growth and physical condition, total anthocyanin content and PGE2 assay, highlighting the importance of cultivar selection.

Abstract
The effects of intraperitoneal administration of dimethylsulfonioacetate (DMSA), dimethlsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), and methylmethionine (MeMet) solutions (10 mM each) on the body weights and the hematological parameters (red and white blood cells) of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC)-bearing mice were examined for up to 10 d. Body weights significantly increased in the EAC-bearing mice treated with and without MeMet in contrast to those with DMSA and DMSP. This increase was attributed to the increased amounts of ascitic fluid. EAC-bearing mice with and without MeMet both showed abnormal values of hematological parameters, while those with DMSA and DMSP exhibited almost normal levels on the 10th day.

Abstract
Dietary antioxidants, such as anthocyanins, are helpful in the prevention and control of various diseases by counteracting the imbalance of oxidative and antioxidative factors in the living systems. Black currant (Ribes nigrum L., Grossulariaceae) is known to contain high amounts of anthocyanins (250 mg/100 g fresh fruit). Black currant fruits have been used in Asian and European traditional medicine for the treatment of a variety of diseases. Black currant extract has recently been found to be the second most effective amongst nine different berry extracts studied for their free radical scavenging activity. Constituents present in black currant juice have been found to exert a number of health-promoting effects, including immunomodulatory, antimicrobial and antiinflammatory actions, inhibition of low-density lipoprotein, and reduction of cardiovascular diseases. Although antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects of black currant juice could be of value in preventing and treating oxidative stress- and inflammation-driven cancers, no experimental evidence is available to now. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the potential antiproliferative effects of black currant fruit skin extract against HepG2 human liver cancer cells. The aqueous extract yielded an anthocyanin-rich fraction with cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside as one of the major anthocyanins. This fraction exhibited a potent cytotoxic effect on HepG2 cells and this effect was more pronounced than that of delphinidin and cyanidin, two major aglycones of anthocyanins present in black currant. Our results indicate, for the first time, that black currant skin containing an anthocyanin-rich fraction inhibits the proliferation of liver cancer cells, possibly due to additive as well as synergistic effects. This product could be useful in the prevention and treatment of human hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
AbstractThe biological activities of fruit juices and pomace (skin, seeds) extracts from blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum), gooseberry (Ribes uva-crispa) and their hybrid plant (jostaberry, Ribes × nidigrolaria) were evaluated against the most frequently isolated twelve human pathogenic Candida species by broth dilution tests. The phenolic content of juice, water and methanol extracts were measured and the relationship with antifungal activity was assessed. Growth of the most Candida species was inhibited, with the exception of C. albicans, C. krusei, C. lusitaniae and C. pulcherrima. R. nigrum, with the highest phenol content, was observed to have the highest anticandidal activity, indicating a positive correlation between phenol content and antifungal activity.
