Introduction Alectinib is a widely used first-line ALK inhibitor for fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer. However, its clinical use is limited by hepatotoxicity, and its mechanism remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate how alectinib induces liver injury and to explore a potential protective strategy.Methods In vitro, AML-12 hepatocytes were incubated with alectinib to determine cell viability and morphology by using CCK-8 assay and optical microscopy, respectively. Necrosis was assessed by flow cytometry after Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. Mitochondrial damage was analyzed by measuring membrane potential, ultrastructure, and respiratory chain complex activities using JC-1 staining under fluorescence microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and assay kits, respectively. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected using DCFH-DA staining and flow cytometry. Pyroptosis- and oxidative stress-related proteins (NLRP3, GSDMD-N, P20, cleaved IL-1β, Nrf2, HO-1) were quantified by Western blot. In vivo, C57BL/6J mice were divided into control, alectinib treatment, and alectinib plus magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (MgIG) treatment groups. Serum ALT and AST were measured to assess liver function. Hepatic oxidative stress was evaluated by SOD and MDA levels. Inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β and TNF-α were measured by corresponding kits. Liver histopathology was examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining.Results We found alectinib could induce the death of AML-12 hepatocytes. Alectinib impaired both the function and structure of mitochondria and caused a significant increase in ROS levels. The excessive accumulation of ROS triggered oxidative stress and finally resulted in cell pyroptosis in AML-12 cells. MgIG was found to alleviate mitochondrial damage and reduce ROS levels, restore the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting oxidative stress and pyroptosis caused by alectinib.Conclusion Alectinib induces elevated ROS levels in hepatocytes by damaging mitochondria and causing oxidative stress in hepatocytes, which results in cell pyroptosis and ultimately hepatotoxicity, whereas MgIG can treat alectinib-induced hepatic injury by restoring mitochondrial function and structure.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a highly contagious pathogen that causes substantial economic losses in the global swine industry, primarily by impairing reproductive performance and respiratory health. However, current therapeutic approaches remain limited in effectively controlling PRRSV infection. Here, we present self-assembled cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G)-based nanoparticles (C3G-Cs-SeNPs) as a promising antiviral agent against PRRSV infection. These nanoparticles demonstrated excellent stability and biocompatibility, with minimal cytotoxicity in Marc-145 cells. C3G-Cs-SeNPs significantly reduced ROS levels in PRRSV-infected cells, enhancing the antioxidant capacity and mitigating oxidative stress. In addition, they effectively inhibited key stages of the PRRSV lifecycle, including viral internalization and replication, leading to a marked decrease in viral proliferation. Moreover, C3G-Cs-SeNPs alleviated ferroptosis by restoring redox homeostasis through enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity. Mechanistically, these nanoparticles potentially activate the SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, which plays a critical role in regulating inflammation and ferroptosis in PRRSV-infected cells. These findings suggest that C3G-Cs-SeNPs could serve as a novel therapeutic approach to modulate inflammation, ferroptosis, and viral replication in respiratory viral infections. Our study highlights the therapeutic potential of C3G-Cs-SeNPs in combating PRRSV infection, with important implications for viral infection management and respiratory disease treatment.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major polyphenol in green tea, is widely studied as a cancer chemopreventive agent with potential anti-cancer effects. The NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling pathway is considered to mediate cellular resistance to EGCG. Metformin, a classical antidiabetic drug, has been shown to prevent cancer progression. Researchers have not reported whether metformin potentiates the anti-cancer efficacy of EGCG. In this study, metformin inhibited HO-1 expression and augmented the anti-tumor effect of EGCG. Metformin also enhanced ROS (reactive oxygen species) generation induced by EGCG (100 μM), subsequently resulting in apoptosis. Based on the results of the in vivo study, size of xenografts treated with the combination of metformin and EGCG was smaller than other groups. Mechanistically, metformin modulated the EGCG-activated Nrf2/HO-1 pathway through Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)-dependent deacetylation of Nrf2. Moreover, metformin upregulated SIRT1 expression partially through the NF-kB pathway. Comparatively, the combination of EGCG and metformin showed little impact on normal lung epithelial BEAS-2B cells. Based on our findings, metformin sensitized NSCLC cells to the EGCG treatment by suppressing the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Ethnopharmacological relevance ShengHui decoction (SHD), a traditional Chinese herbal formula, has long been used clinically to mitigate Alzheimer’s disease (AD), demonstrating significant efficacy in alleviating cognitive impairment. However, its molecular mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. Aim of the study To clarify the effects of SHD on oxidative stress–related markers and inflammatory cytokines in an aluminum chloride (AlCl 3 )-induced zebrafish model of AD and as well as uncover its underlying mechanisms in alleviating oxidative stress and neuroinflammation.. Materials and methods Ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was employed to identify the bioactive constituents of SHD. Behavioral tests and histopathological analyses were then conducted to evaluate the effects of SHD (0.74, 1.48, and 2.96 mg/mL) on apoptosis and amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposition in an AlCl 3 -induced AD zebrafish model. Biochemical assays and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to quantify superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1 beta (IL-1β), and IL-18.. Western blot analysis was performed to determine the protein expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1), nuclear factor-kappa B p65 (NF-κB p65), phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (p–NF-κB p65), and NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3). Results UPLC–MS/MS profiling identified phenolic acids, saponins, lignans/coumarins, flavonoids, and aliphatic alcohols as the main constituents of SHD. SHD significantly ameliorated cognitive deficits and histopathological abnormalities in AlCl 3 -induced zebrafish. Moreover, SHD attenuated oxidative stress by upregulating Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 expression, while downregulating AlCl 3 -induced levels of NF-κB p65, p–NF-κB p65, NLRP3 and pro-inflammatory factors. Conclusions SHD effectively improved cognitive performance and reduced AD-like pathological lesions in AlCl 3 -induced zebrafish. Importantly, SHD exhibits both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 axis and inhibiting NF-κB signaling, thereby alleviating oxidative stress and neuroinflammatory responses in AD. These findings provide experimental evidence supporting SHD as a potential therapeutic agent for AD, and substantiate the traditional Chinese medicine principle of tonifying the kidney and replenishing essence in the treatment of AD.

Background Thymus quinquecostatus Celak. has been widely used as a spice and a folk medicine for relieving exterior syndrome and alleviating pain in China. Purpose To explore the protective effects and the underlying mechanism against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) of the T. quinquecostatus combining with its chemical composition. Study design and methods High-polar extract (HPE) was extracted from T. quinquecostatus and polyphenols in HPE were enriched to obtain polyphenol-rich fraction (PRF) using Macroporous resin. The free radicals and zebrafish embryos were used to compare the antioxidant activities of HPE and PRF in vitro and in vivo . Then, the transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) model was established in rats. Neurological deficit score, infarction rate, morphology and apoptosis of neurons were examined to investigate the protective effects of PRF on CIRI. The mRNA and protein levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) and the activities of downstream antioxidant enzymes in ischemia tissues were determined to clarify the underlying mechanisms. Also, reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in zebrafish embryos were detected after incubation with PRF for a short time (2 h) to investigate whether PRF could directly eliminate free radicals. Finally, chemical composition of PRF were analyzed to investigate the material basis for antioxidant activity and anti-CIRI effect. Results Compared with HPE, PRF showed stronger antioxidant activities. PRF exhibited obvious protective effects including ameliorating neurological deficit, lowering infarction rate, and improving the cellular morphology in hippocampus CA1 and cortex after tMCAO. TUNEL staining suggested PRF dose-dependently improved the apoptosis of the neurons in ischemic cortex. RT-qPCR and Western Blot results suggested that PRF regulated oxidative stress (OS) via activating the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway . Also, PRF could directly scavenge excessive ROS in zebrafish embryos after a short-time PRF incubation. The anti-CIRI effect might be primarily attributed to the abundant polyphenols in PRF, including flavonoids , polymethoxylated flavonoids, flavonoid glycosides , and phenolic acids. Conclusion T. quinquecostatus contains abundant polyphenols and exhibited a good protective effect against CIRI via dual antioxidant mechanisms, providing a reference for further research and application for this plant.

Mastitis is a disease involved in inflammation of breast which affects human and animals. Wogonin is one bioactive compound from many Chinese herbal medicines, which have multiple properties, including anti-inflammatory activity. However, the roles of wogonin in mastitis progression are largely undefined. Mastitis models were established using LPS-treated mice and mammary epithelial cells (MECs). Infiltration of inflammatory cells was analyzed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. Inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α and IL-1β) levels were detected via ELISA. The phosphorylation and total of Akt and NF-κB levels and content of Nrf2 and HO-1 were measured via western blot. Cell viability was examined by CCK-8 assay. Oxidative stress was assessed by ROS generation and levels of MDA, GSH, and SOD. Wogonin attenuated LPS-induced infiltration of inflammatory cells, increase of MPO activity and levels of TNF-α and IL-1β, and activation of the Akt/NF-κB pathway in murine mammary gland tissues, and promoted activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling. Wogonin did not affect MEC viability, but mitigated LPS-induced inflammation in MECs by reducing TNF-α and IL-1β levels. Wogonin relieved LPS-induced oxidative stress in MECs through decreasing ROS generation and MDA level and increasing GSH and SOD levels. Wogonin repressed LPS-induced activation of the Akt/NF-κB pathway in MECs and increased Nrf2/HO-1 signaling activation. Activated Akt/NF-κB signaling or Nrf2/HO-1 signaling inactivation reversed the suppressive effects of wogonin on LPS-induced inflammation and oxidative stress in MECs. Wogonin mitigates LPS-induced inflammation and oxidative stress of MECs via suppressing activation of the Akt/NF-κB signaling and activating Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, indicating the therapeutic potential of wogonin in mastitis.

Given that the role of Gelsemine in neuroinflammation has been demonstrated, this research aimed to investigate the effect of Gelsemine on neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury. An in vivo HI brain injury neonatal mouse model and an in vitro oxygen–glucose deprivation (OGD) cell model were established and pretreated with Gelsemine. The brain infarct volume, neuronal loss and apoptosis, as well as spatial learning and memory were examined by TTC staining, Nissl’s staining, TUNEL staining and Morris water maze test. Immunohistochemical staining was applied to detect the microglia cells and astrocytes in the mouse brain tissue. The cell viability was analyzed by CCK-8 assay. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 were determined via ELISA. The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level in OGD-treated cells were detected by colorimetry and DCFH-DA staining. Nrf2, HO-1, and inflammation-related factors were analyzed by immunofluorescence, qRT-PCR, or western blot. Gelsemine reduced the infarct volume and neuronal loss and apoptosis, yet improved spatial learning and memory impairment of HI-injured mice. Gelsemine inhibited the elevated MDA, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, LDH and ROS levels, promoted the reduced SOD level and viability, and strengthened the up-regulation of HO-1 and Nrf2 in brain tissues and OGD-treated cells. However, Nrf2 silencing reversed the effects of Gelsemine on the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, inflammation, and oxidative stress in OGD-treated cells. Gelsemine produces neuroprotective effects on neonatal mice with HI brain injury by suppressing inflammation and oxidative stress via Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Oxidative stress is one of the most important factors in changing bone homeostasis. Redox homeostasis plays a key role in the osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and the angiogenesis ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) for bone regeneration. Currently, this study assessed the effects of punicalagin (PUN) on BMSCs and HUVECs. Cell viability was determined by CCK-8 assay. A flow cytometry analysis was adopted to detect macrophage polarization. The production of reactive oxygen stress (ROS), glutathione (GSH), malonaldehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were evaluated by using commercially-available kits. Osteogenic capacity of BMSCs was evaluated by ALP activity, ALP staining and ARS staining. The expression of osteogenic-related proteins (OCN, Runx-2, OPN) and Nrf/HO-1 levles were evaluated by Western blotting. Osteogenic-related genes (Osterix, COL-1, BMP-4, ALP) were evaluated by RT-PCR. Migration ability and invasion ability of HUVECs were evaluated by wound healing assay and Transwell assay. Angiogenic ability was detected by tube formation assay and the expression of angiogenic-related genes (VEGF, vWF, CD31) were evaluated by RT-PCR. Results showed that PUN alleviated oxidative stress by TNF-α, enhanced osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs and angiogenesis in HUVECs. Moreover, PUN regulate immune microenvironment by promoting the polarization of M2 macrophages and reduce the oxidative stress related products by activating Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. Altogether, these results suggested that PUN can promote osteogenic capacity of BMSCs, angiogenesis of HUVECs, alleviate oxidative stress via Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, offering PUN as a novel antioxidant agent for treating bone loss diseases.

BACKGROUND Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua is cultivated for its edible and medical value. The steam-processed rhizome of P. cyrtonema is the main form for daily consumption and it has been used traditionally in tonics for treating various age-related disorders. The aim of our study was to compare the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of polysaccharides respectively extracted from crude P. Cyrtonema (PCPC), and steam-processed P. cyrtonema (PCPS), and to explore a possible underlying antioxidant mechanism. RESULTS The PCPC with a molecular weight of 4.35 × 10 3 Da mainly consisted of fructose and trace amounts of glucose, whereas PCPS with 4.24 × 10 4 Da was composed of fructose, arabinose, glucose, xylose, mannose, galacturonic acid and glucuronic acid. The PCPC had a triple-helical conformation whereas PCPS was a random coil. Both exhibited free radicals- scavenging activity in vitro . In a mouse model of oxidative damage, PCPC or PCPS treatment significantly reversed histopathological alterations, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and the reduction of antioxidant enzyme activity. They both also promoted Nrf2 nuclear transport by decreasing Keap-1 expression and increasing HO-1 expression. Both in vitro and in vivo , PCPS exhibited more potent antioxidant activity than PCPC. CONCLUSION Overall, the results suggest that PCPS has a stronger effect on the prevention of oxidative damage by activating Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant signaling. This study demonstrates the role of steam-processed P. cyrtonema rhizome and provides valuable perspective for PCPS as a functional agent. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Quinocetone (QCT), a member of the quinoxaline 1,4-di-N-oxides (QdNOs) family, can cause genotoxicity and hepatotoxicity, however, the precise molecular mechanisms of QCT are unclear. This present study investigated the protective effect of quercetin on QCT-induced cytotoxicity and the underlying molecular mechanisms in human L02 and HepG2 cells. The results showed that quercetin treatment (at 7.5–30 μM) significantly improved QCT-induced cytotoxicity and oxidative damage in human L02 and HepG2 cells. Meanwhile, quercetin treatment at 30 μM significantly inhibited QCT-induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, an increase in the expression of the CytC protein and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, and an increase in caspases-9 and -3 activity, and finally improved cell apoptosis. Quercetin pretreatment promoted the expression of the phosphorylation of p38, Nrf2, and HO-1 proteins. Pharmacological inhibition of p38 significantly inhibited quercetin-mediated activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. Consistently, pharmacological inhibitions of the Nrf2 or p38 pathways both promoted QCT-induced cytotoxicity and partly abolished the protective effects of quercetin. In conclusion, for the first time, our results reveal that quercetin could improve QCT-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis by activating the p38/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and inhibiting the ROS/mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Our study highlights that quercetin may be a promising candidate for preventing QdNOs-induced cytotoxicity in humans or animals.Keywords:quercetin;quinocetone;oxidative stress;apoptosis;p38/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway;NF-κB pathway

Gastric ulcers, often caused by factors such as ethanol consumption and Helicobacter pylori infection, present significant treatment challenges due to the limited efficacy and adverse effects of current therapies. This study aimed to develop a nanoscale quercetin (Qu) delivery system using folic acid (FA)-functionalized cyclodextrin-based metal–organic frameworks (CD-MOFs), termed Qu@FA-CMOF nanoplatforms, to enhance therapeutic outcomes for acute gastric ulcers. The FA modification endowed the nanoplatforms with targeted delivery capabilities, improving cellular uptake and facilitating the sustained release of Qu. Comprehensive in vitro and in vivo evaluations demonstrated that Qu@FA-CMOF significantly attenuated gastric tissue injury, reduced oxidative stress, and suppressed inflammation by modulating the Nrf2/HO-1 and COX-2/NF-κB signaling pathways. Furthermore, the nanoplatform exhibited potent anti-apoptotic effects through regulation of the Bax/Bcl-2 pathway, and showed favorable biocompatibility with no significant toxicity observed in major organs. These findings highlight the potential of Qu@FA-CMOF nanoplatforms as a safe and effective therapeutic strategy for ethanol-induced gastric injury, offering a promising avenue for future nanomedicine-based therapies in gastric ulcer treatment.

Introduction Autologous stem cell transplantation has emerged as a promising strategy for bone repair. However, the osteogenic potential of mesenchymal stem cells derived from diabetic patients is compromised, possibly due to hyperglycemia-induced senescence. The objective of this study was to assess the preconditioning effects of extracellular vesicles derived from H2O2-stimulated adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and non-modified ADSCs on the osteogenic potential of diabetic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).Methods Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were experimentally induced into a diabetic state through a high-fat diet followed by an injection of streptozotocin, and diabetic BMSCs were collected from the bone marrow of these rats. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) were isolated from the conditioned media of ADSCs, with or without hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) preconditioning, using density gradient centrifugation. The effects of H2O2 preconditioning on the morphology, marker expression, and particle size of the EVs were analyzed. Furthermore, the impact of EV-pretreatment on the viability, survivability, migration ability, osteogenesis, cellular senescence, and oxidative stress of diabetic BMSCs was examined. Moreover, the expression of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway was also assessed to explore the underlying mechanism. Additionally, we transplanted EV-pretreated BMSCs into calvarial defects in diabetic rats to assess their in vivo bone formation and anti-senescence capabilities.Results Our study demonstrated that pretreatment with EVs from ADSCs significantly improved the viability, senescence, and osteogenic differentiation potential of diabetic BMSCs. Moreover, in-vitro experiments revealed that diabetic BMSCs treated with H2O2-activated EVs exhibited increased viability, reduced senescence, and enhanced osteogenic differentiation compared to those treated with non-modified EVs. Furthermore, when transplanted into rat bone defects, diabetic BMSCs treated with H2O2-activated EVs showed improved bone regeneration potential and enhanced anti-senescence function t compared to those treated with non-modified EVs. Both H2O2-activated EVs and non-modified EVs upregulated the expression of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in diabetic BMSCs, however, the promoting effect of H2O2-activated EVs was more pronounced than that of non-modified EVs.Conclusion Extracellular vesicles derived from H2O2-preconditioned ADSCs mitigated senescence in diabetic BMSCs and enhanced their bone regenerative functions via the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.
