Reduction of adenovirus 36‐induced obesity and inflammation by mulberry extract

Adenovirus 36 (Ad36) is known to be associated with human obesity and to trigger inflammation in murine models. However, to date no clinical drugs for treating virus‐induced obesity have been developed. Therefore, in this study, the anti‐obesity and anti‐inflammation effects of mulberry extract on Ad36 were evaluated in mice. The mulberry extract‐fed group showed a reduction in total body weight and in epidermal fat pads. A combination of various mulberry components (1‐deoxynojirimycin, kuromanin chloride and resveratrol) and a mulberry extract prevented viral replication by 50% and 70%, respectively, compared with an untreated Ad36‐infected group. Moreover, the extract decreased both concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines, such as MCP‐1 and TNF‐α, and the numbers of infiltrating immune cells and macrophages in epidermal fat pads. In conclusion, dietary mulberry extract might offer an avenue for the development of therapeutic approaches for treating or preventing virus‐induced obesity and inflammation‐related metabolic diseases.     

Modulation of antioxidant enzymes,SIRT1 and NF‐κB by resveratrol and nicotinamide in alcohol‐aflatoxin B1‐induced hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and is associated with poor prognosis. The current study aimed to assess the therapeutic efficacy of resveratrol when administered alone and in combination with nicotinamide against alcohol‐aflatoxin B1‐induced HCC. Results reveal that during the development and progression of cancer, there was a decline in the level of antioxidant enzymes catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase (GR), antioxidant glutathione, and glutathione S‐transferase, which is an enzyme of detoxification pathways. Treatment of resveratrol restored the level of catalase and glutathione peroxidase toward normal in alcohol‐aflatoxin B1‐induced HCC; however, nicotinamide worked in concert with resveratrol only in upregulating the activity of glutathione reductase, glutathione level, and glutathione S‐transferase. SIRT1 agonist resveratrol was observed to modulate the activity of antioxidant enzymes by negatively regulating the expression of nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) in alcohol‐aflatoxin B1‐induced HCC, thereby suggesting a cross‐talk between antioxidant enzymes SIRT1 and NF‐κB during the development and progression of HCC and its therapeutics by resveratrol and nicotinamide.     

Resveratrol as a Pan-HDAC Inhibitor Alters the Acetylation Status of Jistone Proteins in Human-Derived Hepatoblastoma Cells

The polyphenolic alcohol resveratrol has demonstrated promising activities for the prevention and treatment of cancer. Different modes of action have been described for resveratrol including the activation of sirtuins, which represent the class III histone deacetylases (HDACs). However, little is known about the activity of resveratrol on the classical HDACs of class I, II and IV, although these classes are involved in cancer development or progression and inhibitors of HDACs (HDACi) are currently under investigation as promising novel anticancer drugs. We could show by in silico docking studies that resveratrol has the chemical structure to inhibit the activity of different human HDAC enzymes. In vitro analyses of overall HDAC inhibition and a detailed HDAC profiling showed that resveratrol inhibited all eleven human HDACs of class I, II and IV in a dose-dependent manner. Transferring this molecular mechanism into cancer therapy strategies, resveratrol treatment was analyzed on solid tumor cell lines. Despite the fact that hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is known to be particularly resistant against conventional chemotherapeutics, treatment of HCC with established HDACi already has shown promising results. Testing of resveratrol on hepatoma cell lines HepG2, Hep3B and HuH7 revealed a dose-dependent antiproliferative effect on all cell lines. Interestingly, only for HepG2 cells a specific inhibition of HDACs and in turn a histone hyperacetylation caused by resveratrol was detected. Additional testing of human blood samples demonstrated a HDACi activity by resveratrol ex vivo. Concluding toxicity studies showed that primary human hepatocytes tolerated resveratrol, whereas in vivo chicken embryotoxicity assays demonstrated severe toxicity at high concentrations. Taken together, this novel pan-HDACi activity opens up a new perspective of resveratrol for cancer therapy alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutics. Moreover, resveratrol may serve as a lead structure for chemical optimization of bioavailability, pharmacology or HDAC inhibition.     

Silybum marianum cell cultures stably transformed with Vitis vinifera stilbene synthase accumulate t‐resveratrol in the extracellular medium after elicitation with methyl jasmonate or methylated β‐cyclodextrins

The growing demand for t‐resveratrol for industrial uses has generated considerable interest in its production. Heterologous resveratrol production in plant cell suspensions, apart from requiring the introduction of only one or two genes, has the advantage of high biomass yield and a short cultivation time, and thus could be an option for large‐scale production. Silybum marianum is the source of the flavonolignan silymarin. Phenylpropanoid synthesis in cultures of this species can be activated by elicitation with methyl jasmonate and methylated β‐cyclodextrins, with products of the pathway (coniferyl alcohol and some isomers of the silymarin complex) being released into the medium. Given that stilbene synthase shares the same key precursors involved in flavonoid and /or monolignol biosynthesis, we explored the potential of metabolically engineered S. marianum cultures for t‐resveratrol production. Cell suspensions were stably transformed with Vitis vinifera stilbene synthase 3 and the expression of the transgene led to extracellular t‐resveratrol accumulation at the level of milligrams per litre under elicitation. Resveratrol synthesis occurred at the expense of coniferyl alcohol. Production of silymarin was less affected in the transgenic cultures, since the flavonoid pathway is limiting for its synthesis, due to the preferred supply of precursors for the monolignol branch. The fact that the expressed STS gene took excessively produced precursors of non‐bioactive compounds (coniferyl alcohol), while keeping the metabolic flow for target secondary compounds (i.e. silymarin) unaltered, opens a way to extend the applications of plant cell cultures for the simultaneous production of both constitutive and foreign valuable metabolites.

Resveratrol Prevents Stress-Related Dysfunction of Mitochondria

This study was conducted to investigate the antistress potential of resveratrol, a natural polyphenol, in models that reproduce the conditions of acute hypobaric hypoxia and acute alcohol intoxication. Acute alcohol intoxication and acute hypobaric hypoxia induced an increase in the intensity of lipid peroxidation in the membranes of liver mitochondria from mice. Activation of lipid peroxidation was accompanied by swelling and variations in the levels of fatty acids with C₁₈ and C_20–22 in the composition of the total lipid fraction of mitochondrial membranes. The index of the unsaturation of fatty acids with C₁₈ was decreased by 7.5% (from 1.69 ± 0.01 to 1.52 ± 0.01). Furthermore, the (20:3ω6+20:5ω3)/22:6ω3 index decreased from 0.23 ± 0.02 to 0.13 ± 0.01 for fatty acids under acute hypobaric hypoxia conditions, suggesting a decrease in eicosanoid metabolism. The administration of 2 × 10^–5 mol/kg of resveratrol in animals for 5 days prevented changes in fatty acid composition, inhibiting activation of lipid peroxidation and swelling of mitochondria, thereby affecting physiological parameters. Thus, the adaptogenic properties of resveratrol may be ascribed to the prevention of lipid peroxidation in mitochondrial membranes, which probably affects the functional state of these organelles, contributing to the maintenance of cellular energy metabolism under stress conditions.

     

Resveratrol abrogates alcohol-induced cognitive deficits by attenuating oxidative–nitrosative stress and inflammatory cascade in the adult rat brain

Chronic alcohol intake is known to induce permanent cognitive deficits along with enhanced oxidative–nitrosative stress and activation of neuroinflammatory cascade. In the present study, we investigated the protective effect of resveratrol, a natural polyphenolic phytoalexin against chronic alcohol-induced cognitive dysfunction and neuroiflammatory cascade in the brain of adult rats chronically administered ethanol. Male Wistar rats were adminstered ethanol (10 g/kg; oral gavage) for ten weeks and treated with resveratrol (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg) for the same duration. Ethanol-exposed rats showed impaired spatial navigation in the Morris water maze test and poor retention in the elevated plus maze task which was coupled with enhanced acetylcholinesterase activity, increased oxidative–nitrosative stress, cytokines (TNF-alpha and IL-1beta), NF-kappa β and caspase-3 levels in different brain regions (cerebral cortex and hippocampus) of ethanol-treated rats. Co-administration with resveratrol significantly and dose-dependently prevented all the behavioral, biochemical and molecular deficits. Correlatively, the results of the present study revealed that treatment with resveratrol significantly prevented cognitive deficits induced by chronic ethanol exposure not only by modulating oxido–nitrosative stress but also by attenuating the enhanced levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β), NF-kβ and caspase-3 in different brain regions of ethanol treated rats. Therefore, mechanism underlying the neuroprotective effects of resveratrol observed in our study may be due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuromodulating activities.     

Interspecific seed discounting and the fertility cost of hybridization in an endangered species

Hybrid fertilizations can have negative demographic effects on taxa by usurping ovules that would otherwise give rise to nonhybrid offspring. The consequent reduction in conspecific matings may be exaggerated in rare taxa and constitutes a fertility cost that has rarely been quantified. Here, the effect of interspecific mating was estimated on the fecundity of locally rare red mulberry (Morus rubra), which hybridizes with introduced white mulberry (Morus alba) and red yen white hybrids. First, the asymmetry in pollen production among red, white and hybrid mulberry in two sympatric populations was quantified. The fertility cost of hybridization was then assessed experimentally by estimating seed production and rates of interspecific mating in red mulberry trees from plots where white and hybrid mulberry trees were selectively removed. On average, the percentage of mulberry pollen per plot produced by red mulberry (8%) was significantly lower than the mean for white and hybrid mulberry combined (92%). Experimentally removing white and hybrid mulberry increased the siring fertility of red mulberry by 14% but produced no change in seed set. Results indicate that seeds of red mulberry, ordinarily sired by conspecific pollen, are being discounted through fertilization of ovules by heterospecific pollen, which may contribute to local decline of red mulberry.
