Royal jelly as a functional food has great potential to promote human health. As a unique ingredient in royal jelly, 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA) is a vital criterion to evaluate the quality of royal jelly. Current approaches for 10-HDA detection mainly rely on high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC), but it requires large-scale equipment and skilled technicians that are costly and time-consuming. Herein, we report a colorimetric sensing strategy for 10-HDA detection based on Ag(I) and tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), a widely used chromogenic reagent. Ag(I) can oxidize TMB to generate oxidized TMB (oxTMB) showing a light-blue color. Due to the chelation with Ag (I), the introduction of 10-HDA can prevent the generation of oxTMB that results in a color fading and a decrease in absorbance. This colorimetric sensing strategy enables highly sensitive detection of 10-HDA with a linear range from 1 μM to 10 μM and a limit of detection of 0.13 μM. More importantly, this 10-HDA assay allows for a visual readout either by a smartphone or the naked eye with low cost, convenience, and rapid response that has been successfully applied for evaluating the quality of royal jelly in actual samples. The sensing strategy developed in this work provides a new colorimetric approach that holds great promise as a point-of-care platform for the food industry.

Background 10-Hydroxydec-2-enoic acid (10-HDA), a unique and marker compound in royal jelly, has a wide range of bio-activities. However, its role in regulating inflammation of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC), which is essential to a set of vascular diseases, is still unknown. Purpose Our study aimed to investigate whether 10-HDA exerts effect on VSMC inflammation via interacting with toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a pivotal inflammatory initiator. Methods A package of proteins, which might participate in TLR4-mediated signaling, influenced by 10-HDA were analyzed in mouse VSMCs with Angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Accordingly, pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and anti-oxidants that are closely relevant to inflammatory process were determined. The possible mode for 10-HDA interacting with TLR4 was also characterized. Moreover, involvement of a key miRNA in 10-HDA regulating VSMC inflammation was identified. Results In the presence of Ang Ⅱ, 10-HDA inhibited the TLR4 expression in a dose-dependent manner. In such occasion, 10-HDA hindered the up-regulation of specificity protein 1 (SP1) and serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 6 catalytic subunit (PPP6C), the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, TGF-β-activated kinase 1, and nuclear factor-κB p56, as well as the enhancement of myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88. Apart from SP1 and PPP6C, the level change of these proteins by 10-HDA was similar with LPS stimulation. The effect might be resulted from 10-HDA blocking TLR4 through multiple atomic interactions. 10-HDA mitigated the increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-2 (IL-2), and IL-6, as well as increased the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, in the Ang Ⅱ- or LPS-induced VSMCs. Correspondingly, the level of ROS was attenuated and the anti-oxidants such as glutathione and superoxide dismutase were fortified. The data indicated the anti-inflammatory potential of 10-HDA in VSMCs, which was associated with 10-HDA's capability of relieving oxidative stress. Additionally, the expression of miR-17–5p was saved by 10-HDA from Ang Ⅱ- or LPS-treated VSMCs, which might be relevant to SP1 and PPP6C targeting. Conclusion The present work of 10-HDA, for the first time, revealed its ability to alleviate VSMC inflammation by targeting TLR4 and therefore modulate the downstream inflammatory participants. Our data will cast light on the utilization of 10-HDA in VSMC inflammation-related vascular disorders.

The objective of this study is to elucidate how Royal jelly (RJ) and 10-hydroxy-2-decanoic acid (10-HDA) prevents diabetic skin dysfunction by modulating the pyroptosis pathway. Type 2 diabetes models are induced by fat diet consumption and low dose of streptozotocin (STZ) in C57BL/6J mice and treated with RJ (100 mg kg –1 day –1 ) and 10-HDA, the major lipid component of royal jelly (100 mg kg −1 day −1 ) for 28 weeks. The results show that serum concentrations of glucose and triglyceride are significantly lower in the RJ group or 10-HDA than diabetes mellitus (DM) group. Compared to the control group, pyroptosis proteins, GSDMD, ASC, Caspase-1, and IL-1β are increased in the skin of the diabetic model, accompanied by the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway. Further evaluations by RJ exhibit superior improvement of skin damage, repress activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and attenuate keratinocyte pyroptosis, but 10-HDA cannot completely suppress the activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway and pyroptosis, which shows a relatively weak protective effect on skin damage which shows that RJ is a better effect on skin injury after DM.
