蜂胶对细菌脂多糖刺激下奶牛乳腺上皮细胞炎症相关基因mRNA转录水平和紧密连接蛋白的影响

本试验旨在研究中国蜂胶乙醇提取物（ethanol extract of Chinese propolis，EECP）对细菌脂多糖（lipopolysaccharide，LPS）刺激下体外培养奶牛乳腺上皮细胞炎症相关基因mRNA转录水平和紧密连接渗透性的影响。EECP中总酚酸和总黄酮含量测定采用福林酚法和硝酸铝法，并建立LPS诱导奶牛乳腺上皮细胞（bovine mammary epithelial cells，MAC-T）炎症模型，采用CCK-8法测定EECP对MAC-T相对增殖率的影响，利用实时荧光定量PCR（RT-qPCR）评估EECP对LPS诱导的MAC-T细胞炎症相关因子（IL-6、IL-8、TNF-α和IL-1β）相对mRNA转录水平；以及对紧密连接蛋白（occludin、ZO-1）相对mRNA转录水平进行检测，并进一步利用免疫荧光技术对紧密连接膜蛋白进行定位，确定EECP对LPS诱导MAC-T细胞炎症紧密连接渗透性的影响。结果显示：EECP中总酚酸含量为106.35 mg没食子酸当量（GAE）·g^-1、总黄酮含量为320.85 mg芦丁当量（RE）·g^-1；CCK-8结果显示EECP的安全浓度为0~15 μg·mL^-1，并可有效提高LPS刺激下MAC-T的活力；LPS刺激显著增加了细胞炎症相关因子IL-6、IL-8、TNF-α和IL-1β mRNA的转录量（P<0.001）；但2.5~15.0 μg·mL^-1 EECP预处理显著降低了IL-6、IL-8、TNF-α和IL-1β mRNA的转录量；与此类似，LPS刺激显著抑制了紧密连接蛋白基因（occludin、ZO-1）mRNA的转录量（P<0.01），而EECP预处理后紧密连接蛋白基因（occludin和ZO-1）mRNA的转录量显著增加（P<0.05）；免疫荧光染色试验也证实EECP能通过上调紧密连接蛋白（occludin、ZO-1）的表达，缓解LPS诱导的乳腺上皮细胞屏障功能紊乱。该结果证实，EECP对细菌脂多糖诱导奶牛乳腺上皮细胞炎症具有良好的保护作用，这为利用中国蜂胶预防奶牛乳腺炎提供了试验基础。     

大黄素甲醚、大黄酸的研究进展

2014年世界卫生组织首份全球抗菌素耐药报告显示全世界面临严重的公共卫生威胁,2021年农业农村部制定了《全国兽用抗菌药使用减量化行动方案》(2021-2025),从国家层面实施综合治理策略和措施,鼓励替代抗菌药物的研制和创新。大黄素甲醚、大黄酸作为植物蒽醌类有效成分,具有抗微生物、抗炎、抗氧化、神经保护等药理作用,但对其抗菌、抗病毒、抗炎症相关的作用机制和产业化工艺缺少详细报道。本文对国内外已经发表的专利文献、期刊文献进行综述,总结其抗菌、抗病毒、抗炎作用机制及其生产工艺,以期为进一步开发利用提供科学支撑。     

Anti-Inflammatory Cembranoids from a Formosa Soft Coral Sarcophyton cherbonnieri

The present investigation on chemical constituents of the soft coral Sarcophyton cherbonnieri resulted in the isolation of seven new cembranoids, cherbonolides F–L (1–7). The chemical structures of 1–7 were determined by spectroscopic methods, including infrared, one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) NMR (COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY), MS experiments, and a chemical reduction of hydroperoxide by triphenylphosphine. The anti-inflammatory activities of 1–7 against neutrophil proinflammatory responses were evaluated by measuring their inhibitory ability toward N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine/cytochalasin B (fMLF/CB)-induced superoxide anion generation and elastase release in primary human neutrophils. The results showed that all isolates exhibited moderate activities, while cherbonolide G (2) and cherbonolide H (3) displayed a more active effect than others on the inhibition of elastase release (48.2% ± 6.2%) and superoxide anion generation (44.5% ± 4.6%) at 30 µM, respectively.     

A Sulfated Polysaccharide from Saccharina japonica Suppresses LPS-Induced Inflammation Both in a Macrophage Cell Model via Blocking MAPK/NF-κB Signal Pathways In Vitro and a Zebrafish Model of Embryos and Larvae In Vivo

Inflammation is a complicated host-protective response to stimuli and toxic conditions, and is considered as a double-edged sword. A sulfated Saccharina japonica polysaccharide (LJPS) with a sulfate content of 9.07% showed significant inhibitory effects against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells and zebrafish. Its chemical and structural properties were investigated via HPLC, GC, FTIR, and NMR spectroscopy. In vitro experiments demonstrated that LJPS significantly inhibited the generation of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) via the downregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β production via the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal pathways in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Moreover, LJPS showed strong protective effects against LPS-induced inflammatory responses in zebrafish, increasing the survival rate, reducing the heart rate and yolk sac edema size, and inhibiting cell death and the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and NO. Its convenience for large-scale production and significant anti-inflammatory activity indicated the potential application of LJPS in functional foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.     

Advances in prevention of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced gastropathy by proton pump inhibitor

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are powerful in anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antirheumatic effects, and widely used in treating the corresponding diseases. Over the years, many new dosage forms and structures of NSAIDs appear since aspirin was developed 112 years ago. However, the universal use of NSAIDs produces unavoidable mucosal lesions in gastrointestinal tract. As yet, proton pump inhibitor (PPI) has been used in the treatment of gastropathy induced by NSAIDs. This article will focus on the advances in prevention of NSAIDs-induced gastropathy by proton pump inhibitor.
