الوصف: The androgen receptor (AR) plays an important role in the pathogenesis and development of prostate cancer (PCa). Mostly, PCa progresses to androgen-independent PCa, which has activated AR signaling from androgen-dependent PCa. Thus, inhibition of AR signaling may be an important therapeutic target in androgen-dependent and castration-resistant PCa. In this study, we determined the anticancer effect of a newly found natural compound, sakurasosaponin (S-saponin), using androgen-dependent and castration-resistant PCa cell lines. S-saponin induces mitochondrial-mediated cell death in both androgen-dependent (LNCaP) and castration-resistant (22Rv1 and C4-2) PCa cells, via AR expression. S-saponin treatment induces a decrease in AR expression in a time- and dose-dependent manner and a potent decrease in the expression of its target genes, including prostate-specific antigen (PSA), transmembrane protease, serin 2 (TMPRSS2), and NK3 homeobox 1 (NKX3.1). Furthermore, S-saponin treatment decreases B-cell lymphoma-extra large (Bcl-xL) and mitochondrial membrane potential, thereby increasing the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol. Moreover, Bcl-xL inhibition and subsequent mitochondria-mediated cell death caused by S-saponin were reversed by Bcl-xL or AR overexpression. Interestingly, S-saponin-mediated cell death was significantly reduced by a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, N-acetylcystein. Animal xenograft experiments showed that S-saponin treatment significantly reduced tumor growth of AR-positive 22Rv1 xenografts but not AR-negative PC-3 xenografts. Taken together, for the first time, our results revealed that S-saponin induces mitochondrial-mediated cell death in androgen-dependent and castration-resistant cells through regulation of AR mechanisms, including downregulation of Bcl-xL expression and induction of ROS stress by decreasing mitochondrial membrane potential.

الوصف: The extract from Cnidium officinale rhizomes was shown in a prior experiment to markedly recover otic hair cells in zebrafish damaged by neomycin. The current study was brought about to identify the principal metabolite. Column chromatography using octadecyl SiO2 and SiO2 was performed to isolate the major metabolites from the active fraction. The chemical structures were resolved on the basis of spectroscopic data, including NMR, IR, MS, and circular dichroism (CD) data. The isolated phthalide glycosides were assessed for their recovery effect on damaged otic hair cells in neomycin-treated zebrafish. Three new phthalide glycosides were isolated, and their chemical structures, including stereochemical characteristics, were determined. Two glycosides (0.1 μM) showed a recovery effect (p < 0.01) on otic hair cells in zebrafish affected by neomycin ototoxicity. Repeated column chromatography led to the isolation of three new phthalide glycosides, named ligusticosides C (1), D (2), and E (3). Ligusticoside C and ligusticoside E recovered damaged otic hair cells in zebrafish.

الوصف: (1) Background: Many flavonoids have been reported to exhibit pharmacological activity
a preparatory study confirmed that Coreopsis lanceolata flowers (CLFs) contained high flavonoid structure content
(2) Methods: CLFs were extracted in aqueous methanol (MeOH:H2O = 4:1) and fractionated into acetic ester (EtOAc), normal butanol (n-BuOH), and H2O fractions. Repeated column chromatographies for two fractions led to the isolation of two aurones and two flavonols
(3) Results: Four flavonoids were identified based on a variety of spectroscopic data analyses to be leptosidin (1), leptosin (2), isoquercetin (3), and astragalin (4), respectively. This is the first report for isolation of 2–4 from CLFs. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis determined the content levels of compounds 1–4 in the MeOH extract to be 2.8 ± 0.3 mg/g (1), 17.9 ± 0.9 mg/g (2), 3.0 ± 0.2 mg/g (3), and 10.9 ± 0.9 mg/g (4), respectively. All isolated compounds showed radical scavenging activities and recovery activities in Caco-2, RAW264.7, PC-12, and HepG2 cells against reactive oxygen species. MeOH extract, EtOAc fraction, and 1–3 suppressed NO formation in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and decreased iNOS and COX-2 expression. Furthermore, all compounds recovered the pancreatic islets damaged by alloxan treatment in zebrafish
(4) Conclusions: The outcome proposes 1–4 to serve as components of CLFs in standardizing anti-oxidant, pro-inflammatory inhibition, and potential anti-diabetic agents.وصف الملف: application/pdf

الوصف: Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) and its active compounds (gingerols, shogaols and paradols) have been reported as having beneficial functions for several diseases, including diabetes. In this study, we revealed that the steaming process could enhance the anti-diabetic potential of ginger. To confirm the anti-diabetic effect of steamed ginger extract (GG03), we assessed pancreatic islets impaired by alloxan in zebrafish and demonstrated anti-hyperglycemic efficacy in a mouse model. The EC50 values of ginger extract (GE) and GG03 showed that the efficacy of GG03 was greater than that of GE. In addition, LC50 values demonstrated that GG03 had lower toxicity than GE, and the comparison of the Therapeutic Index (TI) proved that GG03 is a safer functional food. Furthermore, our data showed that GG03 significantly lowered hyperglycemia in a diabetic mouse model. HPLC was performed to confirm the change in the composition of steamed ginger. Interestingly, GG03 showed a 375% increase in 1-dehydro-6-gingerdione (GD) compared with GE. GD has not yet been studied much pharmacologically. Thus, we identified the protective effects of GD in the damaged pancreatic islets of diabetic zebrafish. We further assessed whether the anti-diabetic mechanism of action of GG03 and GD involves insulin secretion. Our results suggest that GG03 and GD might stimulate insulin secretion by the closure of KATP channels in pancreatic β-cells.

الوصف: Brain cell damage that results from oxidative toxicity contributes to neuronal degeneration. The transcription factor nuclear factor‑E2‑related factor 2 (Nrf2) regulates the expression of heme oxygenase (HO)‑1 and glutathione (GSH), and serves a key role in the pathogenesis of neurological diseases. Brassica rapa is a turnip that is unique to Ganghwa County, and is used mainly for making kimchi, a traditional Korean food. In the current study, brassicaphenanthrene A (BrPA) from B. rapa was demonstrated to exhibit protective effects against neurotoxicity induced by glutamate via Nrf2‑mediated HO‑1 expression. Similarly, BrPA increased the expression of cellular glutathione and glutamine‑cysteine ligase genes. Furthermore, BrPA caused the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and increased antioxidant response element (ARE) promoter activity. Nrf2 also mediated HO‑1 induction by BrPA through the PI3K/Akt and JNK regulatory pathways. The results of the present study indicated the neuroprotective effect of BrPA, a natural food component from B. rapa.

الوصف: The current treatment options for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are unsatisfactory. Therefore, novel and safer therapies are needed. We previously reported that koreanaside A (KA) showed high radical scavenging activity and suppressed vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) expression in vascular smooth muscle cells. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in its anti-inflammatory effect have not been reported. KA inhibited pro-inflammatory mediators such as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), nitric oxide (NO), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). KA inhibited the production and mRNA expression of interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor-&alpha
(TNF-&alpha
) induced by LPS. KA downregulated the myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88)-dependent inflammatory gene expressions in the MyD88-overexpressed cells. KA suppressed the LPS-induced transcriptional and DNA-binding activities of activator protein-1 (AP-1) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-&kappa
B). KA was found to inhibit the phosphorylation of Janus kinase 1/2 (JAK1/2) and signal transducers and activators of transcription 1/3 (STAT1/3). In DSS-induced colitis mice, KA relieved the symptoms of colitis by suppressing inflammatory cell infiltration, restoring tight junction (TJ)- and epithelial&ndash
mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related protein expression, and inactivating AP-1, NF-&kappa
B, and STAT1/3. Therefore, KA reduced inflammatory responses by downregulating AP-1, NF-&kappa
B, and JAK/STAT signaling in LPS-induced macrophages and DSS-induced colitis mice.وصف الملف: application/pdf

الوصف: Muscle regeneration is a coordinated process that involves proliferation and differentiation of muscle progenitor cells. Activation of MyoD is a key event in myogenic differentiation, which is regulated by p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). In a screen of natural compounds for the enhancement of MyoD activity, dehydrocorydaline (DHC) from the Corydalis tuber was identified. Treatment of C2C12 myoblasts with DHC increased the expression levels of muscle-specific proteins, including MyoD, myogenin and myosin heavy chain. In addition, C2C12 myoblasts exhibited enhanced multinucleated myotube formation without any cytotoxicity. Treatment with DHC elevated p38 MAPK activation and the interaction of MyoD with an E protein, which is likely to result in activation of MyoD and promotion of myoblast differentiation. Furthermore, defects in differentiation-induced p38 MAPK activation and myoblast differentiation induced by depletion of the promyogenic receptor protein Cdo in C2C12 myoblasts were restored by DHC treatment. In conclusion, these results indicated that DHC stimulates p38 MAPK activation, which can enhance heterodimerization of MyoD and E proteins, thus resulting in MyoD activation and myoblast differentiation. These findings suggested that DHC may be considered a potential therapeutic compound for the improvement of muscle stem cell regenerative capacity in injured muscle.

الوصف: The dried flowers of Chionanthus retusus were extracted with 80% MeOH, and the concentrate was divided into EtOAc, n-BuOH, and H2O fractions. Repeated SiO2, octadecyl SiO2 (ODS), and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography of the EtOAc fraction led to the isolation of four flavonols (1–4), three flavones (5–7), four flavanonols (8–11), and one flavanone (12), which were identified based on extensive analysis of various spectroscopic data. Flavonoids 4–6 and 8–11 were isolated from the flowers of C. retusus for the first time in this study. Flavonoids 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, and 10–12 significantly inhibited NO production in RAW 264.7 cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and glutamate-induced cell toxicity and effectively increased HO-1 protein expression in mouse hippocampal HT22 cells. Flavonoids with significant neuroprotective activity were also found to recover oxidative-stress-induced cell damage by increasing HO-1 protein expression. This article demonstrates that flavonoids from C. retusus flowers have significant potential as therapeutic materials in inflammation and neurodisease.
