Abstract
AMPK is a key player in a variety of metabolic and physiological processes, which might be considered one of the most promising targets for both prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome and its associated diseases. Many dietary components and contaminants have been recently demonstrated to prevent or promote the development these diseases via AMPK-mediated pathways. AMPK can be activated by diverse phytochemical substances such as EGCG, chicoric acid, tomatidine, and others, all of which have been found to contribute to preventing or ameliorating chronic disorders. On the other hand, recent studies have found that metabolic disruptions induced by pesticides such as 1,3-Dichloro-2-propanol, imidacloprid, permethrin, are attributed to the inactivation of AMPK. This review may contribute to the development of functional foods for treatment of metabolic syndrome and associated diseases through modulating AMPK pathway.

Abstract
Background Controlling apoptosis induced by oxidative stress in pancreatic β-cells provides promising strategies for preventing and treating diabetes. Clinacanthus nutans leaves possess bioactive constituents with potential antioxidant and anti-diabetic properties. Aim This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which C. nutans extract protects pancreatic β-cells from apoptotic damage in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Methods Diabetes was induced in male Wistar rats by intraperitoneal injection of 45 mg/kg STZ, followed by 28 days of treatment with C. nutans leaf extract and Glibenclamide as the standard drug. At the end of the study, blood samples were collected to measure glucose levels, oxidative stress markers, and inflammation. Pancreatic tissue was stained immunohistochemically to detect c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and Caspase-3 expression. Results The administration of C. nutans leaf extract to diabetic rats significantly reduced fasting blood glucose, malondialdehyde, and tumor necrosis factor-α levels, while concurrently enhancing the activity of superoxide dismutase. The immunohistochemical studies revealed a decrease in the expression of JNK and caspase-3 in the pancreatic islets of diabetic rats. Conclusion Clinacanthus nutans exhibits the potential to protect pancreatic β-cells from apoptosis by suppressing oxidative stress and inflammation.

Eur J Pharmacol 2024; 962:176236.

Abstract
Myocardial remodeling, which occurs in the final stage of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, can ultimately result in heart failure. However, the pathogenesis of myocardial remodeling remains incompletely understood, and there is currently a lack of safe and effective treatment options. Salidroside, which is extracted from the plant Rhodiola rosea, shows remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory characteristics. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the cardioprotective effect of salidroside on myocardial remodeling, and clarify the associated mechanism. Salidroside effectively attenuated cardiac dysfunction, myocardial hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, and cardiac inflammation, as well as renal injury and renal fibrosis in an animal model of deoxycortone acetate (DOCA)-salt-induced myocardial remodeling. The cardioprotective effect of salidroside was mediated by inhibiting the endothelin 1 and PI3K/AKT/NFκB signaling pathways. Salidroside was shown to inhibit the expression of endothelin1 in the hearts of mice treated with DOCA-salt. Additionally, it could prevent cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by endothelin-1 stimulation. Furthermore, Salidroside could effectively inhibit the excessive activation of the PI3K/AKT/NFκB pathway, which was caused by DOCA-salt treatment in mouse hearts and endothelin 1 stimulation in cardiomyocytes. Our study suggests that salidroside can be used as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of myocardial remodeling.

Abstract
The roots and rhizomes of Rhodiola rosea L. (Crassulaceae), which is widely growing in Northern Europe, North America, and Siberia, have been used since ancient times to alleviate stress, fatigue, and mental and physical disorders. Phenolic compounds: phenylpropanoids rosavin, rosarin, and rosin, tyrosol glucoside salidroside, and tyrosol, are responsible for the biological action of R. rosea, exerting antioxidant, immunomodulatory, anti-aging, anti-fatigue activities. R. rosea extract formulations are used as alternative remedies to enhance mental and cognitive functions and protect the central nervous system and heart during stress. Recent studies indicate that R. rosea may be used to treat diabetes, cancer, and a variety of cardiovascular and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. This paper reviews the beneficial effects of the extract of R. rosea, its key active components, and their possible use in the treatment of chronic diseases. R. rosea represents an excellent natural remedy to address situations involving decreased performance, such as fatigue and a sense of weakness, particularly in the context of chronic diseases. Given the significance of mitochondria in cellular energy metabolism and their vulnerability to reactive oxygen species, future research should prioritize investigating the potential effects of R. rosea main bioactive phenolic compounds on mitochondria, thus targeting cellular energy supply and countering oxidative stress-related effects.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction, increased cell death and loss of beta-cell mass despite chronic treatment. Consequently, there has been growing interest in developing beta cell-centered therapies. Beta-cell regeneration is mediated by augmented beta-cell proliferation, transdifferentiation of other islet cell types to functional beta-like cells or the reprograming of beta-cell progenitors into fully differentiated beta cells. This mediation is orchestrated by beta-cell differentiation transcription factors and the regulation of the cell cycle machinery. This review investigates the beta-cell regenerative potential of antidiabetic plant extracts and phytochemicals. Various preclinical studies, including in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo studies, are highlighted. Further, the potential regenerative mechanisms and the intra and extracellular mediators that are of significance are discussed. Also, the potential of phytochemicals to translate into regenerative therapies for T2D patients is highlighted, and some suggestions regarding future perspectives are made.

[PMID: 36866208 PMCID: PMC9972843 DOI: 10.1093/toxres/tfad004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) is a high-energy elemental explosive widely used in chemical and military fields. CL-20 harms environmental fate, biosafety, and occupational health. However, there is little known about the genotoxicity of CL-20, in particular its molecular mechanisms. Therefore, this study was framed to investigate the genotoxic mechanisms of CL-20 in V79 cells and evaluate whether the genotoxicity could be diminished by pretreating the cells with salidroside. The results showed that CL-20-induced genotoxicity in V79 cells primarily through oxidative damage to DNA and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation. Salidroside could significantly reduce the inhibitory effect of CL-20 on the growth of V79 cells and reduce the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), 8-hydroxy-2 deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and malondialdehyde (MDA). Salidroside also restored CL-20-induced superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) in V79 cells. As a result, salidroside attenuated the DNA damage and mutations induced by CL-20. In conclusion, oxidative stress may be involved in CL-20-induced genotoxicity in V79 cells. Salidroside could protect V79 cells from oxidative damage induced by CL-20, mechanism of which may be related to scavenging intracellular ROS and increasing the expression of proteins that can promote the activity of intracellular antioxidant enzymes. The present study for the mechanisms and protection of CL-20-mediated genotoxicity will help further to understand the toxic effects of CL-20 and provide information on the therapeutic effect of salidroside in CL-20-induced genotoxicity.

Abstract
Traditional medicine, 'LuRu', is a commonly used Tibetan medicine for clearing away heat and detoxifying. Dried products of Pedicularis flava and Pedicularis muscicola are often used as 'LuRu' in the market. This study aims to compare the chemical constituents of P. flava and P. muscicola using GC-MS and UPLC-TOF-MS, and confirm which plant species is more suitable to be used as 'LuRu'. A total of 46 and 68 compounds were identified from the volatile and non-volatile components, respectively. Out of these, 17 and 37 volatile and non-volatile components, respectively, had pharmacological activities. P. flava showed a higher content of the same active components than P. muscicola. Good biological activities are only observed in the unique components in P. flava, and not in P. muscicola. The two herbs should not be mixed in clinical medication. Our study shows that P. flava is better suited as a high-quality herb for the Tibetan medicine, 'LuRu'.

Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 114:109543. [PMID: 36508922 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2022.109543] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2022] [Revised: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The NACHT, LRP, and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-evoked chronic inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus (DM), and the NLRP3/gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated canonical pathway of pyroptosis leads to the loss of pancreatic β-cells and failure of pancreatic function in DM. A previous study demonstrated that salidroside (SAL) alleviates the pathological hyperplasia of pancreatic β-cells in db/db mice. However, it is not clear whether the NLRP3/GSDMD pathway-mediated pyroptosis can be regulated by SAL. In addition, the action of SAL on pancreatic β-cells in DM remains poorly understood. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of SAL on pancreatic β-cell pyroptosis. Rat insulinoma (INS-1) cells were cultured in a medium containing either high glucose (HG) or HG plus high insulin (HG-HI), and the effects of SAL on cell viability, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, NLRP3/GSDMD activation, and pyroptotic body formation were assessed. Streptozocin-induced DM mice were used to further investigate the effects of SAL on pancreatic pyroptosis. The results revealed aberrances on cell viability, AMPK activity, ROS generation, NLRP3/GSDMD activation, and pyroptotic body formation in HG- and HG-HI-exposed INS-1 cells; these abnormal effects were corrected by SAL in both a concentration- and AMPK-dependent manner. Moreover, SAL administration activated AMPK, suppressed NLRP3/GSDMD signaling, and protected pancreatic β-cells against pyroptosis in DM mice. These findings suggest that SAL promotes AMPK activation to suppress NLRP3/GSDMD-related pyroptosis in pancreatic β-cells under DM conditions.

Abstract
Tyrosol (T), hydroxytyrosol (H), and salidroside (S) are typical phenylethanoids and also powerful dietary antioxidants. This study aimed at evaluating the influence of three natural phenylethanoids, which are dietary phenylethanoids of natural origins, on reversing gut dysbiosis and attenuating nonalcoholic fatty liver features of the liver induced by metabolic syndrome (MetS) mice. C57BL/6J female mice induced with high-fructose diet were established and administrated with salidroside, tyrosol, and hydroxytyrosol for 12 weeks, respectively. Biochemical analysis showed that S, T, and H significantly improved glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism, including reduced levels of total cholesterol insulin (INS), uric acid, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and aspartate aminotransferase (ALT). Histopathological observation of the liver confirmed the protective effects of S, T, and H against hepatic steatosis, which were demonstrated by the results of metabolomic analysis, such as the improvement in glycolysis, purine metabolism, bile acid, fatty acid metabolism, and choline metabolism. Additionally, 16S rRNA gene sequence data revealed that S, T, and H could enhance the diversity of gut microbiota. These findings suggested that S, T, and H probably suppress lipid accumulation and have hepatoprotective effects and improve intestinal microflora disorders to attenuate metabolic syndromes.

Corydalis saxicola Bunting Total Alkaloids ameliorate diet-induced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis by regulating hepatic PI3K/Akt and TLR4/NF-κB pathways in mice. Biomed Pharmacother 2022; 151:113132.

Abstract
Corydalis saxicola Bunting (Yanhuanglian), distributed in Southwest China, is mainly used for treatment of hepatitis, oral mucosal erosion, conjunctivitis, dysentery, acute abdominal pain and hemorrhoids in the folk. Corydalis saxicola Bunting Total Alkaloids (CSBTA) are the active ingredients extracted from the root of C. saxicola bunting. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the hinge between steatosis and cirrhosis in the spectrum of Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which has become one of the most common chronic liver diseases in the world. CSBTA can reduce tumors and brain diseases through anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways. Our study was designed to clarify the effects of CSBTA on the HFHC (High fat and high carbohydrate drinking) diet induced mice. In our research, A HFHC diet induced NASH mice model was applied to investigate the effects of CSBTA in vivo and obeticholic acid (OA) was set as positive control. Moreover, the underlying mechanisms were explored by palmitic acid (PA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated HepG2 cells in vitro. The in vivo study illustrated that CSBTA could alleviate mice away from the onset of NASH, and reduce intrahepatocellular lipid accumulation and hepatocyte inflammation under high fat condition. Further in vitro analysis confirmed that CSBTA attenuated inflammation and hepatic lipid accumulation by improving hepatic PI3K/Akt and suppressing hepatic TLR4/NF-κB pathways. In summary, this study demonstrated that CSBTA might be a promising compound for the treatment of NAFLD.

Salidroside Ameliorates Ischemia-Induced Neuronal Injury through AMPK Dependent and Independent Pathways to Maintain Mitochondrial Quality Control.

Abstract
Salidroside, an active ingredient in Rhodiola rosea, has potent protective activity against cerebral ischemia. However, the mechanisms underlying its pharmacological actions are poorly understood. In this study, we employed a mouse middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and cellular oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) models to test the hypothesis that salidroside may restore mitochondrial quality control in neurons by modulating the relevant signaling. The results indicated that salidroside mitigated almost 40% the ischemia-induced brain infarct volumes in mice and the OGD-decreased viability of neurons to ameliorate the mitochondrial functions. Furthermore, salidroside treatment alleviated the OGD- or ischemia-induced imbalance of mitochondrial fission and fusion, mitophagy and promoted mitochondrial biogenesis in neurons by attenuating the AMPK activity. Moreover, salidroside alleviated 50% the OGD-promoted mitochondrial calcium fluorescence intensity and 5% mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM) area by down-regulating GRP75 expression independent of the AMPK signaling. Finally, similar findings were achieved in primary mouse neurons. Collectively, these data indicate that salidroside effectively restores the mitochondria dynamics, facilitates mitochondrial biogenesis by attenuating the AMPK signaling, and maintains calcium homeostasis in neurons independent of the AMPK activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of death worldwide. The severity of BC strictly depends on the molecular subtype. The less aggressive hormone-positive subtype is treated with adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET), which causes both physical and psychological side effects. This condition strongly impacts the adherence and persistence of AET among oncologic patients. Moreover, viral infections also constitute a serious problem for public health. Despite their efficacy, antiviral agents present several therapeutic limits. Accordingly, in the present work, we investigated the antitumor and antiviral activities of Orobanche crenata Forssk. (O. crenata), a parasitic plant, endemic to the Mediterranean basin, traditionally known for its beneficial properties for human health. METHODS The MTT assay was carried out to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of O. crenata leaf extract (OCLE) on human breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) and the primary HFF-1 cell line. The lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) assay was performed on MCF-7 cells to analyze necrotic cell death. The antioxidant effect of OCLE was evaluated by intracellular determination of the reactive oxygen species and thiol groups, by DPPH and ABTS assays. The antiviral activity of OCLE was determined against Poliovirus 1, Echovirus 9, Human respiratory syncytial virus, Adenovirus type 2 and type 5, Coxsackievirus B1 (CoxB1) and B3 (CoxB3), Herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2), and β-Coronavirus by the plaque reduction assay. RESULTS The extract, after 24 h of incubation, did not affect MDA-MB-231 and HFF-1 cell viability. However, at the same time point, it showed a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on MCF-7 cells, with an increase in LDH release. OCLE exhibited free radical scavenging activity and significantly increased non-protein thiol levels in MCF-7 cells. OCLE effectively inhibited HSV-1, HSV-2, CoxB1, and CoxB3 replication. CONCLUSIONS The overall results showed an interesting inhibitory effect of OCLE on both MCF-7 cell survival and viral replication.

Salidroside alleviates cadmium-induced toxicity in mice by restoring the notch/HES-1 and RIP1-driven inflammatory signaling axis. Inflamm Res 2022; 71:615-626. [PMID: 35583558 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-022-01580-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 04/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Salidroside (SAL) is a marker glycoside of Rhodiola rosea with significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other health benefits. In this study, we determined its neuroprotective effects against Cd-induced toxicity in cultured cells and mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS GL261 cell and Cd-intoxicated mouse model were used. ICP-MS and MWM were performed to measure Cd content and Cd-induced cognitive impairment in mice, respectively. RESULTS SAL attenuated Cd toxicity in GL261 cells as well as protected mice from substantial organic damage and cognitive deficits. SAL treatment alleviated Cd-induced oxidative stress, glial cell activation, and elevation of pro-inflammatory factors including TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Cd-induced cognitive deficits observed in the Morris water maze in mice were rescued by SAL. At the mechanistic level, SAL maintained the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD and GSH-Px in the serum and brain, and scavenged the peroxidation product MDA, thereby restoring redox homeostasis in vivo, attenuating neuronal damage, and ultimately antagonized Cd-induced toxicity. Furthermore, Cd activated the RIP1-driven inflammatory signaling pathway and Notch/HES-1 signaling axis in the brain, leading to inflammation and neuronal loss, which could be attenuated by SAL. CONCLUSION SAL is a natural product with good anti-Cd effects, indicating that Rhodiola rosea is promising plant that is worthy of cultivation for health and economic benefits.

Abstract
Background Sustained stress with the overproduction of corticosteroids has been shown to increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading to an oxidative stress state. Mitochondria are the main generators of ROS and are directly and detrimentally affected by their overproduction. Neurons depend almost solely on ATP produced by mitochondria in order to satisfy their energy needs and to form synapses, while stress has been proven to alter synaptic plasticity. Emerging evidence underpins that Rhodiola rosea, an adaptogenic plant rich in polyphenols, exerts antioxidant, antistress, and neuroprotective effects. Methods In this study, the effect of Rhodiola rosea extract (RRE) WS®1375 on neuronal ROS regulation, bioenergetics, and neurite outgrowth, as well as its potential modulatory effect on the brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) pathway, was evaluated in the human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y and the murine hippocampal HT22 cell lines. Stress was induced using the corticosteroid dexamethasone. Results RRE increased bioenergetics as well as cell viability and scavenged ROS with a similar efficacy in both cells lines and counteracted the respective corticosteroid-induced dysregulation. The effect of RRE, both under dexamethasone-stress and under normal conditions, resulted in biphasic U-shape and inverted U-shape dose response curves, a characteristic feature of adaptogenic plant extracts. Additionally, RRE treatment promoted neurite outgrowth and induced an increase in BDNF levels. Conclusion These findings indicate that RRE may constitute a candidate for the prevention of stress-induced pathophysiological processes as well as oxidative stress. Therefore, it could be employed against stress-associated mental disorders potentially leading to the development of a condition-specific supplementation.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the most essential cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients associated with glucose and lipid metabolism disorder, fibrosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation in cardiomyocytes. Despite increasing research on the molecular pathogenesis of DCM, it is still unclear whether metabolic pathways and alterations are probably involved in the development of DCM. This study aims to characterize the metabolites of DCM and to identify the relationship between metabolites and their biological processes or biological states through untargeted metabolic profiling. UPLC-MS/MS was applied to profile plasma metabolites from 78 patients with diabetes (39 diabetes with DCM and 39 diabetes without DCM as controls). A total of 2,806 biochemical were detected. Compared to those of DM patients, 78 differential metabolites in the positive-ion mode were identified in DCM patients, including 33 up-regulated and 45 down-regulated metabolites; however, there were only six differential metabolites identified in the negative mode including four up-regulated and two down-regulated metabolites. Alterations of several serum metabolites, including lipids and lipid-like molecules, organic acids and derivatives, organic oxygen compounds, benzenoids, phenylpropanoids and polyketides, and organoheterocyclic compounds, were associated with the development of DCM. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that there were three signaling pathways (metabolic pathways, porphyrin, chlorophyll metabolism, and lysine degradation) that were changed in both negative- and positive-ion modes. Our results demonstrated that differential metabolites and lipids have specific effects on DCM. These results expanded our understanding of the metabolic characteristics of DCM and may provide a clue in the future investigation of reducing the incidence of DCM. Furthermore, the metabolites identified here may provide clues for clinical management and the development of effective drugs.

Abstract
Evidence supports a strong bidirectional association between depression and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The harmful impact of oxidative stress and chronic inflammation on the development of both disorders is widely accepted. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) is a pertinent target in disease management owing to its reputation as the master regulator of antioxidant responses. NRF2 influences the expression of various cytoprotective phase 2 antioxidant genes, which is hampered in both depression and T2DM. Through interaction and crosstalk with several signaling pathways, NRF2 endeavors to contain the widespread oxidative damage and persistent inflammation involved in the pathophysiology of depression and T2DM. NRF2 promotes the neuroprotective and insulin-sensitizing properties of its upstream and downstream targets, thereby interrupting and preventing disease advancement. Standard antidepressant and antidiabetic drugs may be powerful against these disorders, but unfortunately, they come bearing distressing side effects. Therefore, exploiting the therapeutic potential of NRF2 activators presents an exciting opportunity to manage such bidirectional and comorbid conditions.

Abstract
Obesity is a risk factor that leads to the development of other diseases such as dyslipidemia and diabetes. These three metabolic disorders can occur simultaneously, hence, the treatment requires many drugs. Antioxidant compounds have been reported to have activities against obesity, dyslipidemia and diabetes via several mechanisms. This review aims to discuss the antioxidant compounds that have activity against obesity, dyslipidemia and diabetes together with their molecular signaling mechanism. The literature discussed in this review was obtained from the PUBMED database. Based on the collection of literature obtained, antioxidant compounds having activity against the three disorders (obesity, dyslipidemia and diabetes) were identified. The activity is supported by various molecular signaling pathways that are influenced by these antioxidant compounds, further study of which would be useful in predicting drug targets for a more optimal effect. This review provides insights on utilizing one of these antioxidant compounds as opposed to several drugs. It is hoped that in the future, the number of drugs in treating obesity, dyslipidemia and diabetes altogether can be minimized consequently reducing the risk of side effects.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is considered as a main challenge in both developing and developed countries, as lifestyle has changed and its management seems to be vital. Type I and type II diabetes are the main kinds and they result in hyperglycemia in patients and related complications. The gene expression alteration can lead to development of DM and related complications. The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an energy sensor with aberrant expression in various diseases including cancer, cardiovascular diseases and DM. The present review focuses on understanding AMPK role in DM. Inducing AMPK signaling promotes glucose in DM that is of importance for ameliorating hyperglycemia. Further investigation reveals the role of AMPK signaling in enhancing insulin sensitivity for treatment of diabetic patients. Furthermore, AMPK upregulation inhibits stress and cell death in β cells that is of importance for preventing type I diabetes development. The clinical studies on diabetic patients have shown the role of AMPK signaling in improving diabetic complications such as brain disorders. Furthermore, AMPK can improve neuropathy, nephropathy, liver diseases and reproductive alterations occurring during DM. For exerting such protective impacts, AMPK signaling interacts with other molecular pathways such as PGC-1α, PI3K/Akt, NOX4 and NF-κB among others. Therefore, providing therapeutics based on AMPK targeting can be beneficial for amelioration of DM.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus, is the leading cause of vision loss in the working-age population worldwide. Unfortunately, current clinical treatments cannot completely prevent the occurrence and development of DR. Salidroside (Sal) is a medicinal supplement that has antioxidative and cytoprotective properties. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of Sal on DR. Briefly, Sal treatment was applied to wide-type mice and db/db mice (a widely used diabetic mice) at 25 mg/kg by oral gavage once daily from 8 weeks to 20 weeks. Mice's bodyweight, blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein were recorded and analyzed. Retinal trypsin digestion and evans blue dye assay were used to detect retinal microvessel changes and function. Retinal glutathione and malondialdehyde content measurements were applied to assess retinal oxidative stress. Full-length transcriptome analysis was performed to explore the underlying mechanisms of Sal protection. Our results found that Sal treatment could successfully relieve blood glucose and blood lipid abnormalities, and reduce retinal oxidative stress level in diabetic mice. Also, Sal treatment repaired the abnormal transcriptome caused by diabetes, alleviated the microvascular lesion of the fundus in diabetic mice, and protected retinal normal barrier function. This study enriches the indications of Sal in the treatment of diabetic diseases, providing practical research ideas for the comprehensive preventions and treatments of DR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS NASH is becoming a leading cause of liver cirrhosis and HCC. Salidroside (p-hydroxyphenethyl-β-D-glucoside; SAL) has various biological and pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, -oxidant, and -cancer activities. However, the therapeutic effect and underlying molecular mechanism of SAL in NASH remain to be further clarified. METHODS AND RESULTS In this study, we found that SAL alleviated lipid accumulation and inflammatory response in primary hepatocytes after palmitic acid/oleic acid (PO) stimulation. In addition, SAL effectively prevented high-fat/high-cholesterol (HFHC)-diet-induced NASH progression by regulating glucose metabolism dysregulation, insulin resistance, lipid accumulation, inflammation, and fibrosis. Mechanistically, integrated RNA-sequencing and bioinformatic analysis showed that SAL promoted AMPK-signaling pathway activation in vitro and in vivo, and this finding was further verified by determining the phosphorylation levels of AMPK. Furthermore, the protective effects of SAL on lipid accumulation and inflammation in hepatocytes and livers induced by PO or HFHC stimulation were blocked by AMPK interruption. CONCLUSIONS Our studies demonstrate that SAL protects against metabolic-stress-induced NASH progression through activation of AMPK signaling, indicating that SAL could be a potential drug component for NASH therapy.

Abstract
Salidroside is reported to have a wide range of pharmacological properties and has been proven to play a key anti-cancer effect. This study investigated the effects of purified salidroside, an ingredient of Rhodiola rosea, on the proliferation of two human gastric cancer cell lines and further investigating its possible molecular mechanisms. We verified that salidroside exerts a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on the proliferation of SGC-7901 and MKN-45 human gastric cancer cells. Moreover, salidroside can induce cell apoptosis, which was accompanied by an increase in nuclear fragmentation. In addition, salidroside inhibited glycolysis, as evidenced by the reduced expression levels of the glycolysis-related enzymes pyruvate kinase isoenzyme M2 (PKM2), enolase 1 (ENO1) and glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), which could play important roles in the metabolism of gastric cancer cells. Further investigation showed that salidroside exerted potent anti-proliferative effects by inhibiting glycolysis in human gastric cancer cells in vitro. In vivo, xenograft tumors treated with salidroside were significantly smaller than those in the control animals. Therefore, salidroside could be a promising therapeutic prospect in the treatment of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered a promising tool for treating cerebral ischemic injury. However, their poor survival after transplantation limits their therapeutic effect and applications. Salidroside has been reported to exert potent cytoprotective and neuroprotective effects. This study aimed to investigate whether salidroside could improve MSC survival under hypoxic-ischemic conditions and, subsequently, alleviate cerebral ischemic injury in a rat model. MSCs were pretreated by salidroside under hypoxic-ischemic conditions. The cell proliferation, migratory capacity, and apoptosis were evaluated by means of Cell Counting Kit-8, transwell assay, and flow cytometry. MSCs pretreated with salidroside were transplanted into the rats subsequent to middle cerebral artery occlusion. The grip strength, 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride, and hematoxylin-eosin staining were used to analyze the therapeutic efficiency and pathological changes. The mature neuron marker NeuN and astrocyte marker GFAP in the focal area were detected by immunofluorescence. These results indicated that salidroside promoted the proliferation, migration and reduced apoptosis of MSCs under hypoxic-ischemic conditions. In vivo experiments revealed that transplantation of salidroside-pretreated MSCs strengthened the therapeutic efficiency by enhancing neurogenesis and inhibiting neuroinflammation in the hippocampal CA1 area after ischemia. Our results suggest that pretreatment with salidroside could be an effective strategy to enhance the cell survival rate and the therapeutic effect of MSCs in treating cerebral ischemic injury.

Abstract
With the improvement of people's living standards and changes in the environment, the incidence of diabetes has increased rapidly. It has gradually become one of the main diseases threatening the health and life of modern people, bringing a great burden to the society. Although the existing treatment methods can effectively control the symptoms of diabetes and delay its progression, they have not brought satisfactory improvement in the quality of life and treatment of patients. Traditional Chinese herbal medicines and their extracts combine thousands of years of experience and the scientific basis provided by modern experimental research, which is expected to bring a qualitative leap in the clinical management of diabetes. Therefore, this article systematically reviews studies on the effects of Chinese herbal medicine and its extracts on diabetes and its complications, and aims to bring new ideas and options for the clinical treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
There is an increasing trend of investigating natural bioactive compounds targeting pancreatic β-cells for the prevention/treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM). With the exploration of multiple mechanisms by which β-cells involve in the pathogenesis of DM, herbal medicines are gaining attention due to their multitasking ability as evidenced by traditional medicine practices. This review attempts to summarize herbal medicines with the potential for improvement of β-cell functions and regeneration as scientifically proven by in vivo/in vitro investigations. Furthermore, attempts have been made to identify the mechanisms of improving the function and regeneration of β-cells by herbal medicines. Relevant data published from January 2009 to March 2020 were collected by searching electronic databases “PubMed,” “ScienceDirect,” and “Google Scholar” and studied for this review. Single herbal extracts, polyherbal mixtures, and isolated compounds derived from approximately 110 medicinal plants belonging to 51 different plant families had been investigated in recent years and found to be targeting β-cells. Many herbal medicines showed improvement of β-cell function as observed through homeostatic model assessment-β-cell function (HOMA-β). Pancreatic β-cell regeneration as observed in histopathological and immunohistochemical studies in terms of increase of size and number of functional β-cells was also prominent. Increasing β-cell mass via expression of genes/proteins related to antiapoptotic actions and β-cell neogenesis/proliferation, increasing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion via activating glucose transporter-2 (GLUT-2) receptors, and/or increasing intracellular Ca2+ levels were observed upon treatment of some herbal medicines. Some herbal medicines acted on various insulin signaling pathways. Furthermore, many herbal medicines showed protective effects on β-cells via reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation. However, there are many unexplored avenues. Thus, further investigations are warranted in elucidating mechanisms of improving β-cell function and mass by herbal medicines, their structure-activity relationship (SAR), and toxicities of these herbal medicines.

Protective Effect of Salidroside on Mitochondrial Disturbances via Reducing Mitophagy and Preserving Mitochondrial Morphology in OGD-induced Neuronal Injury. Curr Med Sci 2021; 41:936-943.

Abstract
Salidroside is the active ingredient extracted from Rhodiola rosea, and has been reported to show protective effects in cerebral ischemia, but the exact mechanisms of neuronal protective effects are still unrevealed. In this study, the protective effects of salidroside (1 µmol/L) in ameliorating neuronal injuries induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), which is a classical model of cerebral ischemia, were clarified. The results showed that after 8 h of OGD, the mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line HT22 cells showed increased cell death, accompanied with mitochondrial fragmentation and augmented mitophagy. However, the cell viability of HT22 cells showed significant restoration after salidroside treatment. Mitochondrial morphology and mitochondrial function were effectively preserved by salidroside treatment. The protective effects of salidroside were further related to the prevention of mitochondrial over-fission. The results showed that mTOR could be recruited to the mitochondria after salidroside treatment, which might be responsible for inhibiting excessive mitophagy caused by OGD. Thus, salidroside was shown to play a protective role in reducing neuronal death under OGD by safeguarding mitochondrial function, which may provide evidence for further translational studies of salidroside in ischemic diseases.

Abstract
The increasing incidence of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases has severely affected global human health and life safety. In recent years, some effective drugs with remarkable curative effects and few side effects found in natural compounds have attracted attention. Salidroside (SAL), a phenylpropane glycoside, is the main active ingredient of the plateau plant Rhodiola. So far, many animal experiments proved that SAL has good biological activity against some metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. However, most of these reports are scattered. This review systematically summarizes the pharmacological progress of SAL in the treatment of several metabolic (e. g., diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) and cardiovascular (e. g., atherosclerosis) diseases in a timely manner to promote the clinical application and basic research of SAL. Accumulating evidence proves that SAL has beneficial effects on these diseases. It can improve glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and β-cell and liver functions, and inhibit adipogenesis, inflammation and oxidative stress. Overall, SAL may be a valuable and potential drug candidate for the treatment of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. However, more studies especially clinical trials are needed to further confirm its therapeutic effects and molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
To investigate the effects and the underlying mechanisms of salidroside on diabetic cardiomyopathy, diabetes was induced in mice by a long-term high-fat diet and a low-dose injection of streptozocin. Measurements of cardiac function, biochemical analysis, and histopathological examinations were conducted to evaluate the therapeutic effects of salidroside. In this study, we found that diabetic mice exhibited decreased cardiac systolic function and impaired mitochondrial ultrastructure. Pre-treatment with salidroside protected mice against myocardial dysfunction, reduced blood glucose, improved insulin resistance, and induced mitochondrial biogenesis. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were cultured to explore the mechanisms of salidroside in vitro. Salidroside alleviated decreased expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α), mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) via phosphorylation of 5' AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which may be associated with mitochondrial biogenesis. Salidroside also increased sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) expression in cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, salidroside promoted the translocation of SIRT3 from cytoplasm to mitochondria and increased the deacetylation of mitochondrial proteins such as manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). In Conclusion, salidroside not only improved diabetes, but also ameliorated diabetic cardiomyopathy, which was at least partly associated with the activation of mitochondrial SIRT3, AMPK/Akt, and PGC-1α/TFAM and subsequent improving mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective chemotherapy. However, its usage has been associated with adverse effects. Salidroside (SAL) is an antioxidative drug, which confers protective effects against several diseases. Salidroside can attenuate cardiac dysfunction induced by DOX. Quaking (QKI) is identified as a protective factor that can inhibit cardiotoxicity medicated by DOX through the regulation of cardiac circular RNA expression. The present study investigated the role of QKI on the protective effect of SAL in the DOX-induced cardiotoxicity model. Results indicated that SAL attenuated DOX-induced adverse effects, including cardiac dysfunction, weight loss, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and decreased the expression of BAX, caspase 3, and FoxO1. Also, it increased the Mn-SOD2 and QKI expression in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, QKI knockdown suppressed anti-cardiotoxicity mediated by SAL. In conclusion, the results of the current study show that salidroside attenuates doxorubicin-induced cardiac dysfunction through activation of QKI/FoxO1 pathway.

Abstract
Salidroside (SAL) is a phenolic substance with high solubility and low permeability, which make it easy to cause the efflux effect of P-glycoprotein and degradation of intestinal flora, resulting in lower bioavailability. The aim of this study was to develop and optimize a water-in-oil nanoemulsion of SAL (w/o SAL-N) to explore its suitability in oral drug delivery systems. In this work, SAL-N was successfully prepared by water titration method at Km = 1 to construct the pseudo-ternary phase diagrams. Physical characterization including the average viscosity, pH, refractive index, particle size, PDI, TEM, DSC, the content of SAL, and stability study were performed. It was evaluated for drug release in vitro and pharmacokinetic studies in vivo. The optimized nanoemulsion formulation consisted of Labrafil M 1944CS (63%), Span-80/Tween-80/EtOH (27%) and 200 mg∙mL-1 SAL solution (SAL-SOL) (10%). Low viscosity and suitable pH were expected for the nanoemulsion. The spherical morphology and nanoscale size of SAL-N enhanced the stability of the nanoemulsion system. In vitro drug release showed that SAL-N had a better controlled release property than SAL-SOL at earlier time points. The pharmacokinetic studies exhibited that SAL-N had significantly higher in t1/2 (2.11-fold), AUC0-48 h (1.75-fold) and MRT0-48 h (2.63-fold) than SAL-SOL (P < 0.01). The w/o SAL-N prepared in this work can be effectively delivered via the oral route. It can be seen w/o nanoemulsion is a strategy for the drug with polyphenols to delay the release, enhance oral absorption and reduce metabolic rate.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is one of the main human health risks, and the incidence is increasing. Salidroside is an important bioactive component of Rhodiola rosea L., which is used to treat Alzheimer's disease, tumor, depression, and other diseases. Recent studies have shown that salidroside has therapeutic effects, to some degree, in cardiovascular diseases via an antioxidative mechanism. However, evidence-based clinical data supporting the effectiveness of salidroside in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases are limited. In this review, we discuss the effects of salidroside on cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular diseases and highlight potential antioxidant therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Chocolate vine (Akebia quinata) is consumed as a fruit and is also used in traditional medicine. In order to identify the bioactive components of A. quinata, a phytosterol glucoside stigmasterol-3-O-β-d-glucoside (1), three triterpenoids maslinic acid (2), scutellaric acid (3), and hederagenin (4), and three triterpenoidal saponins akebia saponin PA (5), hederacoside C (6), and hederacolchiside F (7) were isolated from a 70% EtOH extract of the fruits of A. quinata (AKQU). The chemical structures of isolates 1-7 were determined by analyzing the 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic data. Here, we evaluated the effects of AKQU and compounds 1-7 on insulin secretion using the INS-1 rat pancreatic β-cell line. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) was evaluated in INS-1 cells using the GSIS assay. The expression levels of the proteins related to pancreatic β-cell function were detected by Western blotting. Among the isolates, stigmasterol-3-O-β-d-glucoside (1) exhibited strong GSIS activity and triggered the overexpression of pancreas/duodenum homeobox protein-1 (PDX-1), which is implicated in the regulation of pancreatic β-cell survival and function. Moreover, isolate 1 markedly induced the expression of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), insulin receptor substrate-2 (IRS-2), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), and Akt, which regulate the transcription of PDX-1. The results of our experimental studies indicated that stigmasterol-3-O-β-d-glucoside (1) isolated from the fruits of A. quinata can potentially enhance insulin secretion, and might alleviate the reduction in GSIS during the development of T2DM.

Shati AA. Salidroside ameliorates diabetic nephropathy in rats by activating renal AMPK/SIRT1 signaling pathway. J Food Biochem 2020; 44:e13158. [PMID: 32030786 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.13158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2019] [Revised: 01/14/2020] [Accepted: 01/15/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
This study investigated if the nephroprotective effect of Salidroside T1DM rats involves activation of AMPK/SIRT1. Rats were divided into control or T1DM and treated with vehicle or Salidroside (100 mg/kg) for 56 days. Mesangial cells were cultured in LG or HG media with or without Salidroside (100 µM/L) for 24 hr. Also, HG + Salidroside-treated cells were pre-incubated with EX-527 or compound C (CC) for 1 hr. With reducing glucose levels, Salidroside improved kidney structure/function in the T1DM rat. It also increased GSH and Bcl-2 levels in control and T1DM rats and inhibited ROS, increased activation of AMPK and nuclear SIRT1, and lowered acetylation of P53 and FOXO-1 in control and T1DM rats and in LG and HG-treated cells. These effects were abolished by EX-527 and CC. Also, CC decreased the nuclear levels of SIRT1. In conclusion, Salidroside attenuates DN in T1DM rats by activation of AMPK and subsequently, SIRT1. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: This animal and pre-clinical study shows that Salidroside is able to ameliorate DN in T1DM-induced rats and showed that it mainly acts by a hypoglycemic effect and activation of renal AMPK/SIRT1 axis. Given the wide tissue stimulatory effect of AMPK on peripheral glucose utilization, lipogenesis, and other cell signaling pathways, these data are encouraging to investigate the anti-diabetic effect of glycoside in more clinical trials.

Salidroside Delays Cellular Senescence by Stimulating Mitochondrial Biogenesis Partly through a miR-22/SIRT-1 Pathway. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:5276096. [PMID: 31612074 PMCID: PMC6757293 DOI: 10.1155/2019/5276096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2019] [Revised: 08/06/2019] [Accepted: 08/24/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Calorie restriction (CR) is a nongenetic intervention with a robust effect on delaying aging in mammals and other organisms. A mild stimulation on mitochondrial biogenesis induced by CR seems to be an important action mode for its benefits. Here, we reported that a component isolated from Rhodiola rosea L., salidroside, delays replicative senescence in human fibroblasts, which is related to its stimulation on mitochondrial biogenesis by activating SIRT1 partly resulted from inhibition on miR-22. Salidroside increased the mitochondrial mass that accompanied an increment of the key regulators of mitochondrial biogenesis including PGC-1α, NRF-1, and TFAM and reversed the mitochondrial dysfunction in presenescent 50PD cells, showing a comparable effect to that of resveratrol. SIRT1 is involved in the inducement of mitochondrial biogenesis by salidroside. The declined expression of SIRT1 in 50PD cells compared with the young 30PD cells was prevented upon salidroside treatment. In addition, pretreatment of EX-527, a selective SIRT1 inhibitor, could block the increased mitochondrial mass and decreased ROS production induced by salidroside in 50PD cells, resulting in an accelerated cellular senescence. We further found that salidroside reversed the elevated miR-22 expression in presenescent cells according to a miRNA array analysis and a subsequent qPCR validation. Enforced miR-22 expression by using a Pre-miR-22 lentiviral construct induced the young fibroblasts (30PD) into a senescence state, accompanied with increased senescence-related molecules including p53, p21, p16, and decreased SIRT1 expression, a known target of miR-22. However, salidroside could partly impede the senescence progression induced by lenti-Pre-miR-22. Taken together, our data suggest that salidroside delays replicative senescence by stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis partly through a miR22/SIRT1 pathway, which enriches our current knowledge of a salidroside-mediated postpone senility effect and provides a new perspective on the antidecrepitude function of this naturally occurring compound in animals and humans.

Abstract
As the typical tyrosine kinase inhibitor, imatinib has been the first-line antineoplastic agent for both chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, a large number of patients are still resistant to the benefits of imatinib, and they have a dissatisfactory prognosis. Salidroside, a compound that is extracted from natural plants, has been reported to have an excellent anticancer effect and few side effects. In the present study, we have developed a new combination therapy strategy of salidroside and imatinib for combating the growth of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. As demonstrated by the anti-proliferation assay, salidroside exhibited excellent cytotoxicity against myeloid leukemia cells. Moreover, cells treated by the combination therapy of salidroside and imatinib displayed a clear lower growth rate than cells only treated by imatinib, indicating that salidroside has a positive effect on enhancing the cytotoxicity of imatinib against leukemia cells. Subsequently, the underlying mechanisms were investigated. The results revealed that autophagy marker proteins in leukemia cells, including LC3, p62, and Beclin1, displayed a significant expression change after treating them with salidroside plus imatinib, with the levels of LC3 and Beclin1 dramatically increasing while the expression of p62 was significantly decreased. Moreover, an obvious down-regulation of p-PI3K, p-AKT and p-mTOR expression levels in leukemia cells after treatment with salidroside plus imatinib suggested that the PI3K/mTOR pathway plays an important role in the process of cell apoptosis induced by salidroside or imatinib. Further studies showed that pre-incubating the cells with an autophagy inhibitor dramatically inhibited the ability of imatinib to induce autophagy, but did not inhibit the ability of salidroside. The underlying causes were subsequently explored and the results showed that silencing AMPKα1, the most important regulator of autophagy, dramatically attenuates the ability of salidroside to induce cell apoptosis. These results together indicated that salidroside enhances the cytotoxicity of imatinib on acute monocytic leukemia via the induction of autophagy-related apoptosis through AMPK activation. The unique advantages of combination therapy were further confirmed by in vivo experiments, with the tumor-bearing cells treated with salidroside plus imatinib achieving the best anti-tumor effect.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes leading cause of blindness in adults. Salidroside (SAL) is a main ingredient from Rhodiola rosea L., has been reported to have a beneficial protection on vascular function. However, whether SAL is a suitable treatment for DR remains unreported. The study aimed to investigate the effect of SAL on high-glucose (HG)-induced injury in ARPE-19 cells. ARPE-19 cells were managed with diverse concentrations of glucose, and constructed a model of HG-induced ARPE-19 cells injury. Then, SAL was employed to stimulate ARPE-19 cells, and cell viability, apoptosis, apoptosis-associated factors, the pro-inflammatory cytokines, and ROS levels were determined. The correlation between miR-138 and SIRT1 was predicated by bioinformatics software of TargetScan (http://www.targetscan.org/) and Dual luciferase reporter assay. MiR-138 mimic, inhibitor and NCs were transfected into ARPE-19 cells, and the impacts of miR-138 on HG-induced cell injury were investigated. PI3K/AKT and AMPK signalling pathways were examined to explore the underlying mechanism. The results disclosed that HG inhibited cell viability, promoted apoptosis, up-regulated IL-6 and TNF-α, as well as increased ROS level in ARPE-19 cells. But, SAL obviously alleviated HG-induced ARPE-19 cells injury. Repressed miR-138 was triggered by SAL, and SIRT1 was predicated as a direct target of miR-138. Overexpressed miR-138 declined the protective effect of SAL on HG-injured ARPE-19 cells. Besides, SAL activated PI3K/AKT and AMPK pathways by adjusting miR-138. In conclusions, SAL flattened HG-induced injury in ARPE-19 cells by repression of miR-138 and activating PI3K/AKT and AMPK pathways.

Abstract
Background No effective treatment is currently available for poorly differentiated thyroid cancer which is resistant to radioiodine, especially with migration and invasion. A great number of researches have revealed the anticancer effects of salidroside, but none have studied the effects of salidroside on thyroid cancer. This study aimed to investigate the effect of salidroside on migration and invasion of poorly differentiated thyroid cancer cells. Methods The effects of salidroside on migration, invasion and apoptosis of poorly differentiated thyroid cancer WRO cells and normal thyroid follicular epithelial Nthy‐ori 3‐1 cells were measured by wound‐healing assay, transwell migration/invasion assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The expression levels of MMP2 and MMP9 at RNA and protein levels in WRO cells were detected by qRT‐PCR and western blot. The phosphorylation levels of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and the apoptosis‐related protein levels of Bax, cleaved caspase 3 and Bcl‐2 were assessed by western blot. Results Salidroside significantly suppressed migration/invasion and induced apoptosis in poorly differentiated thyroid cancer WRO cells. We further illustrated that salidroside significantly inhibited expressions of MMP2 and MMP9 at mRNA and protein levels and the phosphorylation activation of JAK2/STAT3 in WRO cells. In addition, salidroside increased expressions of pro‐apoptotic factors (Bax and cleaved caspase 3) and decreased expression of anti‐apoptotic factor (Bcl‐2) significantly in WRO cells. Conclusion The present study demonstrates that salidroside inhibits migration and invasion of WRO cells (a kind of poorly differentiated cancer cell line) significantly, which might be via suppressing JAK2‐STAT3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Dietary supplementation of anti-oxidants has been reported to have beneficial effects on the prevention of atherogenic diseases. Luteolin (a natural flavonoid) has been shown to possess antimutagenic, antitumorigenic, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the effects and underlying molecular mechanisms of luteolin on cardiovascular systems are poorly explored. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to test whether luteolin could protect against oxidative stress-induced endothelial cell injury and explore the underlying mechanisms. In this study, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were pre-treated with luteolin followed by hydrogen peroxide induction (H2O2). Our results showed that luteolin protected against H2O2-induced oxidative stress and ameliorated ROS and superoxide generation. In addition, we found that luteolin treatment inhibited the H2O2-induced membrane assembly of NADPH oxidase subunits, which was further confirmed by specifically inhibiting NADPH oxidase using DPI treatment. Furthermore, pAMPK protein expression was enhanced and p-PKC isoforms were significantly down-regulated by luteolin treatment in a dose-dependent manner, and a similar effect was observed upon DPI treatment. However, co-treatment with the specific inhibitor of AMPK (Compound C) restored p-PKC levels suggesting the role of AMPK signaling in regulating p-PKC expression under oxidative stress condition in HUVECs. Finally, we confirmed using siRNAs and specific inhibitor and/or activator of AMPK (AICAR) that luteolin treatment induced AMPK is a key player and regulator of activated expression of PKC isoforms and thereby confers protection against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in HUVECs.

Salidroside attenuates oxidized low‑density lipoprotein‑induced endothelial cell injury via promotion of the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway. Int J Mol Med 2019; 43:2279-2290.

Abstract
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced endothelial damage contributes to the initiation and pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Salidroside can alleviate atherosclerosis and attenuate endothelial cell injury induced by ox-LDL. However, the mechanisms involved in this process are not fully understood. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/sirtuin (SIRT)1 pathway in the protection of salidroside against ox-LDL-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) injuries. The results revealed that salidroside reverses ox-LDL-induced HUVECs injury as demonstrated by the upregulation of cell viability and downregulation of LDH release. In addition, salidroside increased the expression of the SIRT1 protein in ox-LDL-treated HUVECs. Next, it was demonstrated that SIRT1 knockdown induced by transfection with small interfering (si)RNA targeting SIRT1 (siSRT1) abolished the protection of salidroside against ox-LDL-induced HUVECs injuries. This was illustrated by a decrease in cell viability and an increase in LDH release, caspase-3 activity and apoptosis rate. Furthermore, salidroside mitigated ox-LDL-induced reactive oxygen species production, upregulated malondialdehyde content and NADPH oxidase 2 expression and decreased superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities, while these effects were also reversed by siSIRT1 transfection. In addition, it was demonstrated that salidroside suppressed ox-LDL-induced mitochondrial dysfunction as demonstrated by the increase in mitochondrial membrane potential and decreases in cytochrome c expression, and Bax/Bcl-2 reductions. However, these effects were eliminated by SIRT1 knockdown. Finally, it was demonstrated that salidroside significantly upregulated the phosphorylated-AMPK expression in ox-LDL-treated HUVECs and AMPK knockdown induced by transfection with AMPK siRNA (siAMPK) leads to elimination of the salidroside-induced increase in cell viability and the decrease in LDH release. Notably, siAMPK transfection further decreased the expression of SIRT1. In conclusion, these results suggested that salidroside protects HUVECs against ox-LDL injury through inhibiting oxidative stress and improving mitochondrial dysfunction, which were dependent on activating the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway.

Jinmaitong, a Traditional Chinese Compound Prescription, Ameliorates the Streptozocin-Induced Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Rats by Increasing Sciatic Nerve IGF-1 and IGF-1R Expression. Front Pharmacol 2019; 10:255. [PMID: 30983995 PMCID: PMC6450141 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2019.00255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2018] [Accepted: 02/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Jinmaitong (JMT) is a Traditional Chinese Compound Prescription for the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). This study aims to investigate the effect of JMT on the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and the insulin like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) expression in sciatic nerves of diabetic rats. Firstly, the chemical profile of JMT was characterized by UPLC/Q-TOF-MS analysis. A total of 72 compounds were putatively identified. Secondly, streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats were treated with neurotropin (NTP, 2.67 NU/kg/day) or JMT at low-dosage (0.4375 g/kg/day), medium-dosage (0.875 g/kg/day), and high-dosage (1.75 g/kg/day) for continuous 16 weeks. Blood glucose and body weight were detected every 4 weeks during the experiment. The mechanical pain and morphological change on sciatic nerves were detected by pain measurement instrument and microscopy. The IGF-1 level in serum and tissues were measured though ELISA and immunohistochemistry. The mRNA and protein expressions of IGF-1, IGF-1R, peripheral myelin protein zero (P0), and peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) in the tissues were measured by qRT-PCR and western blot. As a result, JMT had no significant effect on body weight, but reduced the fasting blood glucose levels of diabetic rats. Besides, the pathological morphology, mechanical pain thresholds, serum level and tissue expression of IGF-1, mRNA, and protein levels of IGF-1R, P0, and PMP22 were significantly improved in JMT group at middle dosage. In conclusion, JMT could ameliorate the behavioristics and morphology changes in DPN rats by promoting IGF-1 and IGF-1R gene and protein expressions in sciatic nerves, as well as regulating the peripheral nerve remyelination genes P0 and PMP22 expressions, which provides scientific evidence for the clinical application of JMT in DPN patients.

Abstract
α-Amylases are among the most important and widely used industrial enzymes for starch processing. In this work, an α-amylase from Bacillus subtilis XL8 was purified and found to possess both hydrolysis and transglycosylation activities. The optimal pH and temperature for starch hydrolysis were pH 5.0 and 70 °C, respectively. The enzyme could degrade soluble starch into beneficial malto-oligosaccharides ranging from dimer to hexamer. More importantly, it was able to catalyze α-glycosyl transfer from the soluble starch to salidroside, a medicinal plant-derived component with broad pharmacological properties. The transglycosylation reaction catalyzed by the enzyme generated six derivatives in a total high yield of 73.4% when incubating with 100 mg/mL soluble starch and 50 mM salidroside (pH 7.5) at 50 °C for 2 h. These derivatives were identified as α-1,4-glucosyl, maltosyl, maltotriosyl, maltotetraosyl, maltopentaosyl, and maltohexaosyl salidrosides, respectively. They were novel promising compounds that might integrate the bioactive functions of malto-oligosaccharides and salidroside.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Salidroside, an active component from Traditional Chinese Medicine Rhodiola rosea L., has various pharmacological functions including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-oxidative properties. However, whether salidroside plays a beneficial role in diabetic nephropathy is still unclear. PURPOSE The objective of this work was to investigate the potential roles of salidroside against diabetic nephropathy and the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS Streptozocin was given to obese mice to generate diabetic nephropathy animal model. Salidroside was administered to these mice and proteinuria, podocyte integrity, renal morphology and fibrosis, mitochondrial biogenesis were examined. RESULTS Our results showed that salidroside treatment greatly attenuates diabetic nephropathy as evidenced by decreased urinary albumin, blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine. Morphological analysis indicated that salidroside improves renal structures in diabetic nephropathy. The decreases in nephrin and podocin expression were markedly reversed by salidroside. Moreover, kidney fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy mice was largely prevented by salidroside. Mechanistically, in salidroside-treated mice, the mitochondrial DNA copy and electron transport chain proteins were significantly enhanced. Meanwhile, the reduced Sirt1 and PGC-1α expression in diabetic nephropathy was almost completely counteracted in the presence of salidroside. CONCLUSIONS Our data showed that salidroside plays a beneficial role against diabetic nephropathy in mice, which probably via Sirt1/PGC-1α mediated mitochondrial biogenesis.

Salidroside-Pretreated Mesenchymal Stem Cells Enhance Diabetic Wound Healing by Promoting Paracrine Function and Survival of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Under Hyperglycemia. Stem Cells Transl Med 2019; 8:404-414. [PMID: 30624028 PMCID: PMC6431607 DOI: 10.1002/sctm.18-0143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2018] [Accepted: 12/03/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Systemic abnormalities cause several complications in diabetes patients. Impaired wound healing is a serious complication that leads to severe foot ulcer and amputation. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been considered a promising strategy for promoting wound healing due to their paracrine function. However, their poor survival after transplantation limits their therapeutic effect and applications. Salidroside, a glucopyranoside, has been reported to exert cytoprotective effects. Our previous study revealed that salidroside could promote the paracrine function of skeletal muscle cells. However, whether salidroside could improve MSCs survival under hyperglycemic condition and, subsequently, promote wound healing in diabetic model mice remains unknown. Here, we found that salidroside pretreatment effectively reversed the hyperglycemia-induced suppression of the expression of crucial wound healing factors in MSCs, such as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). Salidroside pretreatment also suppressed the hyperglycemia-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in MSCs, thereby lowering the apoptosis rate and enhancing MSCs survival rate. Furthermore, salidroside improved the MSCs migration potential that was impaired under hyperglycemia. in vivo experiments revealed that salidroside pretreatment prior to transplantation significantly enhanced the effect of MSCs in promoting wound closure in diabetic mice. Collectively, our results suggest that pretreatment with salidroside could be an effective strategy to enhance the survival rate and the therapeutic effect of MSCs. Thus, our article suggested a novel, potential MSC-based strategy for diabetic wound healing. Stem Cells Translational Medicine 2019;8:404-414.
