Natural drug-food homology compounds have vast therapeutic potential, particularly for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but their poor water solubility, instability, and limited mucosal availability hinder their clinical translation. As a proof of principle, the natural polyphenol resveratrol (Res) was conjugated to a disulfide-bridged carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) for inclusion in a negatively charged hydrogel (CMTR-Gel). The CMTR-Gel was stable, with a zeta potential of approximately −37 mV in the gastrointestinal environment, and significantly inhibited reactive oxygen species production and mitochondrial depolarization in RAW 264.7 cells under lipopolysaccharide-induced stress. The orally administrated CMTR-Gel preferentially adhered to inflamed mucosa for 24 h through electrostatic interactions between anionic CMCS and cationic transferrin. Because of its prolonged adhesion and precise Res release at inflamed mucosa, CMTR-Gel achieved superior therapeutic efficacy compared to the first-line drug sulfasalazine in colitis mice, and was especially efficacious for mucosal healing through its repair of tight junction integrity. The CMTR-Gel represents a promising strategy for the application of natural drug-food homology compounds in the management of IBD.

Liver fibrosis is a wound-healing response to chronic liver injury that results in the accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins. It eventually leads to cirrhosis of the liver and liver failure, and it is a critical threat to the health and lives of patients with chronic liver diseases. No effective treatment is currently available. Resveratrol is a polyphenol with antioxidant, anti‑cancer and anti‑inflammatory properties. It has been reported that resveratrol prevents liver fibrosis, possibly by inhibiting NF‑κB activation. The present study investigated the mechanisms by which resveratrol prevented liver fibrosis, focusing on the possible involvement of the NF‑κB pathway. Mice with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)‑induced liver fibrosis were treated with various concentrations of resveratrol. Serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‑α were detected by ELISAs. Expression of α‑smooth muscle actin (α‑SMA), collagen I, inhibitor of NF‑κB (IκB) and NF‑κB were detected by western blot analysis. In addition, the present study examined the effects of resveratrol on the expression of fibrosis markers in LX‑2 cells. Western blot analysis was further used to detect the levels of Akt and phosphorylated Akt, as well as the nuclear levels of IκB, phosphorylated IκB and NF‑κB p65. The expression of α‑SMA in resveratrol‑treated LX‑2 cells was detected by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry, which demonstrated that resveratrol decreased the expression of α‑SMA in LX‑2 cells. Resveratrol also decreased CCl4‑induced upregulation of serum AST, ALT, TNF‑α, α‑SMA and collagen I. Finally, resveratrol prevented the activation of NF‑κB and Akt. The results of the present study therefore indicated that resveratrol attenuates liver fibrosis via the Akt/NF-κB pathways.

This study aimed to fabricate an active film incorporating limonin (LM) and resveratrol (RES) within a zein/shellac (ZS) matrix for use in strawberry preservation. Zein/shellac composite films embedded with varying concentrations of LM (0–4%w/w) and RES were successfully fabricated using coaxial electrospinning. The prepared films were comprehensively characterized for their mechanical properties, water vapor permeability (WVP), antioxidant capacity (DPPH, ABTS, FRAP), and antibacterial efficacy againstE. coliandS. aureus. Mechanical properties and WVP results revealed that the ZSLM4R film exhibited an elongation at break (EBA) of 28.91%, tensile strength (TS) of 0.93 MPa, elastic modulus (EM) of 40.76 MPa, and a WVP of 1.55 g mm/m2. h. kPa. Furthermore, LM and RES increased the antioxidant properties of the composite film. ZSLM4R’s free radical scavenging activities against DPPH and ABTS were 68.14% and 89.69%, respectively. The composite film also demonstrated strong antibacterial efficacy againstE. coliandS. aureus. When applied to strawberries, ZSLM4R packaging effectively extended the fruit’s shelf life compared to the unwrapped and commercial polyethylene (PE) controls. These obtained results indicate that LM/RES-incorporated zein/shellac composites are a promising eco-friendly packaging alternative for preserving perishable fresh produce and extending its shelf life.

Abnormal lipid accumulation is associated to the development of metabolic diseases such as hepatic steatosis and lipid storage diseases. Pharmacological agents that can attenuate lipid accumulation therefore have therapeutic potentials for these diseases. Resveratrol (RSV), a natural active substance found in fruits and nuts, has been reported to effectively reduce the intracellular lipid accumulation, but the underlying mechanisms of RSV remain elusive. Here, we show that RSV triggers an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)- Ca2+ signaling that activates transcriptional factor EB (TFEB), a master transcriptional regulator of autophagic and lysosomal biogenesis. Moreover, RSV activates protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), which binds and dephosphorylates TFEB, promoting its nuclear translocation and the expression of TFEB target genes required for autophagosome and lysosomal biogenesis. Notably, genetic inhibition of TFEB significantly ameliorates RSV-mediated lipid clearance. Taken together, these data link RSV-induced ER calcium signaling, PP2A and TFEB activation to promote autophagy and lysosomal function, by which RSV may trigger a cellular self-defense mechanism that effectively mitigate lipid accumulation commonly associated with many metabolic diseases.

Simple SummaryThe growth and development of follicles is a prerequisite for normal fertility in female animals. Granulosa cells, as an important component of the ovary, play a key role in follicular development, and their apoptosis is an important cause of follicular atresia. Resveratrol, as a common antioxidant, has various biological properties in animals in vitro and in vivo. However, the functional role of resveratrol in many aspects of yak granulosa cell activity remains unclear. Thus, we evaluated the effects of resveratrol on yak granulosa cell activity in vitro. The results showed that resveratrol when added at an appropriate concentration to the culture media of yak granulosa cells in vitro, could promote proliferation, inhibit apoptosis, enhance antioxidant properties, and promote lipid metabolism and the progesterone secretion of yak granulosa cells. This study provides some theoretical basis for research to further improve yak reproduction.AbstractResveratrol (RES) is a class of natural polyphenolic compounds known for its strong anti-apoptotic and antioxidant properties. Granulosa cells (GCs) are one of the important components of ovarian follicles and play crucial roles in follicular development of follicles in the ovary. Here, we explored the effects of RES on the proliferation and functions of yak GCs. Firstly, we evaluated the effect of RES dose and time in culture on the viability of GCs, and then the optimum treatment protocol (10 μM RES, 36 h) was selected to analyze the effects of RES on the proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, lipid droplet content, ATP production, and steroidogenesis of GCs, as well as the expression of related genes. The results show that RES treatment significantly (1) increased cell viability and proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis by upregulatingBCL-2andSIRT1genes and downregulatingBAX,CASP3,P53, andKU70genes; (2) increased the proportion of GCs in the S phase and upregulatedCCND1,PCNA,CDK4, andCDK5genes; (3) reduced ROS accumulation and MDA content and increased GSH content, as well as upregulating the relative expression levels ofCAT,SOD2, andGPX1genes; (4) decreased lipid droplet content and increased ATP production; (5) promoted progesterone (P4) secretion and the expression of P4 synthesis-related genes (StAR,HSD3B1,andCYP11A1); and (6) inhibited E2 secretion andCYP19A1expression. These findings suggest that RES at 10 μM increases the proliferation and antioxidant properties, inhibits apoptosis, and promotes ATP production, lipid droplet consumption, and P4 secretion of yak GCs.Keywords:yak;resveratrol;granulosa cell;cell proliferation;antioxidant property;steroidogenesis

Objectives: To study the encapsulation of resveratrol by three cyclodextrin derivatives, investigate the impact of encapsulation technology on its anti-fatigue effect, and explore the anti-fatigue mechanism of the encapsulated resveratrol via transcriptomics analysis of exosomal miRNAs. Methods (1) UV spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were used to investigate the encapsulation and encapsulation modes of resveratrol by β -CD, HP- β -CD and CM- β -CD; and the phase solubility method was used to calculate the solubilisation multiplicity of resveratrol by the three cyclodextrin derivatives. (2) Male C57BL/6 J mice were randomly divided into: fatigue model group (FM), FM+resveratrol group (SF+Res), FM+ β -CD, FM+HP- β -CD, FM+CM- β -CD, FM+ β -CD+Res, FM+HP- β -CD+Res, FM+CM- β -CD +Res, and after 30 days of rearing, the mice were subjected to exhaustion swimming experiment to detect fatigue-related indexes and observe the effects of the three cyclodextrin derivatives on the anti-fatigue effects of resveratrol. (3) Male C57BL/6 J mice were randomly divided into Control, FM, and FM+HP- β -CD+Res. After 30 days of rearing, except for the Control group, the remaining mice were subjected to exhaustion swimming experiments, and exosomes were extracted from cardiac tissue, skeletal muscle tissue, and liver tissue of the three groups of mice, and the transcriptomics technology was applied to sequence the exosomal miRNAs and to explore the mechanism of the effect of the HP- β -CD+Res envelope on fatigue. Results (1) The inclusion ratios of β -CD, HP- β -CD, and CM- β -CD encapsulated resveratrol were 1:1, 1:2, and 1:1, and the solubilisation multiplicities of resveratrol were 23, 39, and 21 fold, respectively; β -CD and CM- β -CD encapsulated Res, which was the benzene ring with two hydroxyl‑terminal ends of Res entered the cavity from the small-ported end of the cyclodextrins; HP- β -CD encapsulated Res, which was the Res containing one hydroxyl‑terminated benzene ring enters the cavity from the wide-mouth end of HP-β-CD. (2) Compared with the FM+Res group, all three inclusions were able to prolong the exhaustion swimming time of mice, with HP- β -CD+Res being the most effective. (3) After HP- β -CD+Res acted on the fatigued mouse model, cardiac tissue showed 1726 differentially expressed exosomal miRNAs, of which 840 were up-regulated and 886 were down-regulated, reversing the fatigue-induced changes in 64.96 % of the exosomal miRNAs (1170 shared differential exosomal miRNAs); Skeletal muscle tissue showed 1948 differentially expressed exosomal miRNAs, of which 718 were up-regulated and 1230 were down-regulated, reversing 80.57 % of the fatigue-induced changes in exosomal miRNAs (1576 shared differential exosomal miRNAs); Liver tissue showed 1442 differentially expressed exosomal miRNAs, of which 451 were up-regulated and 991 were down-regulated, reversing 84.31 % of fatigue-induced changes in exosomal miRNAs (1214 shared differential exosomal miRNAs). Target gene enrichment analysis of differentially expressed exosomal miRNAs in cardiac tissue, skeletal muscle tissue, and liver tissue had similar results, and the biological processes involved in HP- β -CD+Res were related to biological_process, signal transduction, G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway, etc., and cellular components such as membrane, cytoplasm, integral component of membrane, etc., and molecular functions are closely related to protein binding, metal ion binding, molecular_function, etc.; mainly enriched in Axon guidance, MicroRNAs in cancer, Apoptosis and other signalling pathways. Conclusions (1) All three cyclodextrin derivatives encapsulated increased the solubility of resveratrol, with HP- β -CD having the best effect. (2) All three cyclodextrin derivative encapsulation techniques improved the anti-fatigue effect of resveratrol, with HP- β -CD being the most effective. (3) HP- β -CD+Res was able to induce differential expression of exosomal miRNAs in cardiac tissue, skeletal muscle tissue and liver tissue of fatigued mice.

Sturgeon meat, with a lipid content nearly four times that of silver carp, is highly susceptible to lipid and protein oxidation during frozen storage, leading to quality deterioration. We selected resveratrol (RES) from 32 polyphenols and identified its efficiency for preserving sturgeon surimi during 160 days at −20 °C. RES significantly inhibited lipid and protein oxidation, reduced myofibrillar protein (MP) degradation, and stabilized α-helix and β-sheet structures. These effects improved surimi gel quality by enhancing water retention, gel strength, hardness, and springiness. Molecular docking analysis revealed that RES interacts with sturgeon myosin through hydrophobic interactions (Arg 148, Val 158, Phe 165, His 665) and hydrogen bonds (Leu 121, Asn 161, Arg 709). RES not only competes with fatty acids for myosin binding sites, shielding proteins from oxidation, but also inhibits moisture migration, reducing ice crystal-induced damage. These findings position RES as a promising strategy for preserving high-lipid surimi products.

Nanocomposites based on hollow Au nanostructures have gained considerable attention in theranostics applications because of their unique plasmonic structures and attractive physicochemical properties. The exploration of feasible and facile methods for constructing multifunctional nanocomposites combined with bioactive molecules is greatly needed for the development of multifunctional theranostics platforms. In this work, resveratrol, a natural polyphenol with antioxidant activity and cancer-chemopreventive propertyies is employed as the reducing agent cum coating agent for the surfactant-free preparation of Au@resveratrol hollow NPs (Au@Res HNPs). The as-prepared Au@Res HNPs were found to present good photothermal performance and chemical inhibition for cancer therapy. In vitro experiments indicated that the Au@Res HNPs can block cell cycles to inhibit cell division and lead to cell apoptosis after 808-nm laser irradiation. Because no toxic surfactants are introduced, the current protocol avoids the tedious surfactant separation and surface modification processes that are necessary for most theranostics materials.

Prolonged inflammatory response and insufficient vascularization cause delayed and poor wound healing. In this study, we fabricated a supramolecular host–guest gelatin (HGM) hydrogel loaded with resveratrol (Res) and histatin-1 (His-1) to suppress inflammation and promote vascularization at skin burn wound sites. The HGM hydrogel showed good properties of shear-thinning and injectability, thereby allowing easy in situ injection and fast adaption to irregular wounds. Res and His-1 were demonstrated to enhance angiogenesis in vitro using cell migration and tube formation assays based on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In an established rat burn wound model, HGM/Res/His-1 hydrogel treatment promoted wound healing by inhibiting expression of the pro-inflammatory factors of interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and increasing the expression of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (CD31). HGM/Res/His-1 hydrogel treatment showed comparable efficacy with that of the commercial dressing, Tegaderm™, and therefore shows promising potential for clinical translation.

AimsReproduction can induce maternal oxidative stress, and resveratrol is able to alleviate oxidative stress. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of resveratrol supplementation in mice during pregnancy and lactation.Methods and ResultsPregnant mice were randomly divided into three groups: (i) Pure water (Con); (ii) Cellulose sodium dissolves with 20 mg kg−1 resveratrol (R1) and (iii) Cellulose sodium dissolves with 40 mg kg−1 resveratrol (R2). The experiment starts at pregnancy and ends at weaning. The results showed that resveratrol increased mammary cell proliferation and the mRNA expressions of UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A1 (UGT1A1) and cytochrome P450 proteins (CYP1A1), while decreased superoxide dismutase, extracellular (SOD3) in the mammary gland. Further study showed that resveratrol promoted the mRNA expressions of genes involved in mitophagy, such as transcription factor Eβ (Tfeβ), Bcl1lc3β, homosapiens microtubule‐associated protein 1 light‐chain 3 beta (Map1lc3β), Parkin, sequestosome1 (p62), autophagy‐related protein (Atg5) and Beclin‐1 (Becn1) in the mammary gland. Moreover, resveratrol increased the abundances of some intestinal microbial species. 40 mg kg−1 resveratrol significantly increased the contents of Acidobacteri, unidentified acidbacteria, Bacilales, Staphylococcaceae and Staphylococcus at phylum, class, order, family and genus level respectively.ConclusionOur results indicate that resveratrol supplementation may promote mammary cell proliferation and antioxidant ability through mitophagy and regulating gut microbiota in pregnant mice.Significance and Impact of the StudyCurrent study proved that resveratrol could affect mammary cell proliferation and antioxidation capacity during pregnancy and lactation in mice for the first time. The underlying mechanisms may be related to mitophagy and gut microbiota.

Resveratrol is known to improve functional recovery after spinal cord injury, but the exact mechanism involved is yet unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify whether resveratrol can exert neuroprotective effects via activating neuronal autophagic flux, in view of the underlying role of the autophagic flux mediated by resveratrol on neuronal apoptosis after spinal cord injury, and identify the role of the liver kinase B1(LKB1)/adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/ p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70s6k) signal pathway in the autophagic flux mediated by resveratrol. The results obtained strongly indicate that resveratrol improved functional recovery in Sprague–Dawley rats after acute spinal cord injury, preserved their motor neurons, alleviated the neuronal apoptosis, and ameliorated neuronal autophagic flux. After blocking the autophagic flux, the neuroprotective effects of resveratrol were eliminated. Furthermore, it was proved that resveratrol can activate the LKB1/AMPK/mTOR/p70s6k pathway in vivo and in vitro , and the LKB1/AMPK/mTOR/p70s6k pathway plays a vital role in activating the autophagic flux mediated by resveratrol in PC12 cells. Thus, resveratrol enables to ameliorate neuronal autophagic flux via the LKB1/AMPK/mTOR/p70s6k pathway to alleviate apoptosis, and finally ameliorating functional recovery after acute SCI in SD rats.

Cancer poses a serious threat to human health and is the most common cause of human death. Polymer-based nanomedicines are presently used to enhance the treatment effectiveness and decrease the systemic toxicity of chemotherapeutic agents. However, the disadvantage of currently polymeric carriers is without therapy procedure. Herein, for the first time, glutathione (GSH)-responsive polymer (PRES) with anti-cancer effect was synthesized following the condensation–polymerization method using resveratrol (RES) and 3,3′-dithiodipropionic acid. PRES can not only suppress the tumor cells growth but can also self-assemble into nanoparticles (∼93 nm) for delivering antitumor drugs, such as paclitaxel (PTX@PRES NPs). The system could achieve high drug loading (∼7%) and overcome multidrug resistance (MDR). The results from the in vitro studies revealed that the NPs formed of PRES were stable in the systemic circulation, while could be efficiently degraded in tumor cells high GSH environment. Results from cytotoxicity tests confirmed that PTX@PRES NPs could effectively suppress the growth of cancer cells (A549) and drug-resistant cells (A549/PTX). The NPs could also be used to significantly increase the therapeutic efficacy of the drugs in A549/PTX tumor-bearing mice. In vivo investigations also demonstrated that the PRES-based NPs exhibited tumor inhibition effects. In summary, we report that the GSH-responsive polymer synthesized by us exhibited multiple interesting functions and could be used for effective drug delivery. The polymer exhibited good therapeutic effects and could be used to overcome MDR. Thus, the synthesized system can be used to develop a new strategy for treating cancer.
