The purified fraction 3 of polysaccharides from Fuzhuan brick tea (FBTPS-3) could attenuate the colitis and modulate the gut microbiota. However, the relationship between anti-inflammatory effect of FBTPS-3 and the gut microbiota is still unknown. Thus, the anaerobic fermentation in vitro was used to investigate the potential mechanism. FBTPS-3 could be utilized and degraded by gut microbiota from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) subjects. Furthermore, FBTPS-3 could modulate the composition and structure of IBD gut microbiota toward to that of healthy group. FBTPS-3 showed a superior modulated effect on IBD gut microbiota by increasing Bacteroides and decreasing Escherichia/Shigella . Furthermore, the fermentation solution rather than FBTPS-3 itself showed anti-inflammatory effects on lipopolysaccharide-treated RAW264.7 macrophages, which might be due to the metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Thus, FBTPS-3 can be expected as novel prebiotics for treatment of IBD via modulating gut microbiota, and promoting the production of SCFAs.

This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of Bletilla striata oligosaccharides (BO) in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). A UC mouse model was induced by 3% Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS), and BO (200 mg/kg/d) were administered for intervention. The results show that BO effectively inhibited the release of intestinal inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β. Also, BO profoundly elevated the secretion of mucins and the expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins to attenuate dysfunction of the intestinal barrier. The 16S rDNA sequencing and liquid chromatography/gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (LC/GC-MS) analysis of mouse feces revealed that BO regulated the disturbance of gut microbiota and intestinal metabolites. By using the in vitro fermentation broth of BO and gut microbiota-depleted mice treated with antibiotics, we confirmed the protection of BO against UC. In conclusion, BO played a role in improving UC by modulating gut microbial composition and intestinal metabolites, which provided new therapeutic strategies for UC treatment.Keywords:

0D-2D p–n type CsPbBr 3 /BiOCl heterojunction photocatalyst is successfully fabricated via the electrostatic self-assembly process. On the basis of the photoluminescence and photocurrent density results, the CsPbBr 3 /BiOCl composite exhibits a higher charge separation rate than pure BiOCl and CsPbBr 3 . The degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) result shows that the CsPbBr 3 /BiOCl composite obtains the highest degradation rate of close to 100% within 60 min, which is significantly higher than those of pure CsPbBr 3 (84.21%) and BiOCl (73.57%) because the p–n type heterojunction photocatalyst can promote the separation of photogenerated charge carriers. The free radical capture experiment demonstrates that •O 2 − plays a major role in the photodegradation of RhB. This study may provide insights into designing advanced photocatalysts for the clean-ups of environmental pollutants.

In photodynamic therapy (PDT), the concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in cells directly determines the therapeutic effect. However, excessive glutathione (GSH) concentration at the tumor site and hypoxic environment strongly reduce the production of ROS. Nitric oxide (NO) has a variety of anti-tumor activities, including the induction of cell apoptosis and sensitization to PDT, so it is in the spotlight in the area of cancer intervention. Therefore, it is very innovative to combine NO therapy with PDT and simultaneously reduce GSH content and relieve hypoxia. Metal-organic framework (MOF) is an emerging drug delivery vehicle that can exert photodynamic effects when a photosensitizer is used as its organic ligand. In this study, we constructed a GSH-responsive NO producing nanosystem to enhance ROS production through GSH depletion and hypoxia alleviation. Briefly, nicorandil (Nic) is encapsulated into porous porphyrinic MOF nanoparticles, and hyaluronic acid (HA) is electrostatically adsorbed on the surface of the MOF nanoparticles for CD44 receptor-targeting and prevention of Nic leakage. Notably, the Nic reacts with GSH to produce NO gas with vasodilation and GSH reduction, thus improving oxygen supply for efficient ROS generation. Moreover, the generated NO can further react with superoxide radical anion to produce highly reactive peroxynitrite (ONOO − ) molecules with higher cytotoxicity. Overall, the [email protected] nanosystem combines NO gas therapy with PDT, resulting in a significant increase in ROS production and greatly enhancing the efficacy of PDT.

This research was aimed to construct the nanoparticles based on Hohenbuehelia serotina polysaccharides for encapsulation of quercetin (QC-HSP NPs), and investigate their effects on intestinal function and gut microbiota in mice. Results showed that in comparison with HSP and control, QC-HSP NPs significantly improved immune organ indexes, colon length, fecal moisture content and intestinal peristalsis capacity of mice. The productions of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in colon were also increased after treatment with QC-HSP NPs, while the colonic fecal pH was decreased and defecation time was shortened. Through analysis of 16S rRNA sequencing, QC-HSP NPs could increase α and β diversities of gut microbiota, modulate their structure and composition, and increase the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria together with reducing the richness of harmful bacteria. In addition, QC-HSP NPs ameliorated the metabolic functions of gut microbiota by modulating metabolic pathways. This study suggested that QC-HSP NPs might be served as a prebiotic for protecting intestinal health.

Wood vinegar is a complex mixture of organic compounds. QAMS is a relatively simple and cost-effective method which is used widely in recent years. In this study, quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker (QAMS) was applied to quantify the main volatile chemical components in wood vinegar for the first time. Using acetic acid as an internal reference compound, the relative correction factors of a further 19 chemical volatile components were obtained. 20 wood vinegar prepared from different lignocellulosic biomass, and at different pyrolysis temperatures, were analyzed by QAMS and the data compared with those obtained using an internal standard (phenethyl acetate) method. The results showed that the precision and repeatability of the QAMS method were good, and the responses obtained for each compound using GC/MS were linear over the corresponding concentration range (R 2 ≥ 0.999). The average spike recoveries of 20 volatile compounds from wood vinegar ranged from 92.65% to 105.93% (RSD ＜ 7%, n = 6). There were no significant differences (P > 0.05) in the results obtained from the analysis of three batches of wood vinegar samples (RSD < 2%) using both methods. The volatile composition of samples obtained from wood vinegar prepared from the pyrolysis of different materials and at different temperatures were significantly different. The successful application of QAMS to the quantitative analysis of the composition of wood vinegar not only may provide a theoretical reference for further developments in the production, pyrolysis conditions, and modes of action for wood vinegar, but also provides ideas for the application of QAMS in other fields.

Disulfiram (DSF), an effective FDA-approved anti-alcoholism drug, shows potent antitumor activity by producing Cu(DTC) 2 , a chelate of its metabolite diethyldithiocarbamate (DTC) and copper. However, the rapid metabolism and unselective distribution of DSF and the insufficient endogenous copper severely restrict enough bioactive Cu(DTC) 2 generation in tumor tissues to achieve satisfactory antitumor effect. Moreover, directly Cu(DTC) 2 administration also suffers from serious systemic toxicity. Herein, a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-activatable self-amplifying prodrug nanoagent (HA-DQ@MOF) was developed for the stable co-delivery of DTC prodrug and Cu-quenched photosensitizer , aiming to achieve tumor-specific dual-activation of highly-toxic Cu(DTC) 2 -mediated chemotherapy and cascaded photodynamic therapy (PDT). The ROS-cleavable hyaluronic acid-conjugated DTC prodrug (HA-DQ) was decorated on Cu 2+ and photosensitizer Zn-TCPP coordinated MOF (PDT-shielded state) to construct HA-DQ@MOF. HA-DQ@MOF could specifically activated in ROS-overexpressed tumor cells to rapidly release DTC, while remaining relatively stable in normal cells. The free DTC immediately grabbed Cu 2+ from MOF to in situ generate highly-cytotoxic Cu(DTC) 2 chelate, accompanied by MOF dissociation to restore the PDT effect of Zn-TCPP. Importantly, ROS produced by PDT could in turn trigger more DTC release, which further promoted Zn-TCPP liberation, forming a self-amplifying prodrug/photosensitizer activation positive feedback loop . Experimental results confirmed the dual-activated and combined tumor-killing effect of Cu(DTC) 2 -mediated chemotherapy and Zn-TCPP-based PDT with little systemic toxicity. This work provides a dual-activated “low toxic-to-toxic” transformable treatment pattern for tumor-specific chemo-photodynamic therapy.

Our previous study found that Qiong-Yu-Gao (QYG), a traditional Chinese medicine formula derived from Rehmanniae Radix, Poria, and Ginseng Radix, has protective effects against cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI), but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. In the present study, the potential role of gut microbiota in the nephroprotective effects of QYG was investigated. We found that QYG treatment significantly attenuated cisplatin-induced AKI and gut dysbiosis, altered the levels of bacterial metabolites, with short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such as acetic acid and butyric acid increasing and uremic toxins such as indoxyl sulfate and p-cresyl sulfate reducing, and suppressed histone deacetylase expression and activity. Spearman’s correlation analysis found that QYG-enriched fecal bacterial genera Akkermansia, Faecalibaculum, Bifidobacterium, and Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group were correlated with the altered metabolites, and these metabolites were also correlated with the biomarkers of AKI, as well as the indicators of fibrosis and inflammation. The essential role of gut microbiota was further verified by both the diminished protective effects with antibiotics-induced gut microbiota depletion and the transferable renal protection with fecal microbiota transplantation. All these results suggested that gut microbiota mediates the nephroprotective effects of QYG against cisplatin-induced AKI, potentially via increasing the production of SCFAs, thus suppressing histone deacetylase expression and activity, and reducing the accumulation of uremic toxins, thereby alleviating fibrosis, inflammation, and apoptosis in renal tissue.IMPORTANCE Cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury is the main limiting factor restricting cisplatin’s clinical application. Accumulating evidence indicated the important role of gut microbiota in pathogenesis of acute kidney injury. In the present study, we have demonstrated that gut microbiota mediates the protective effects of traditional Chinese medicine formula Qiong-Yu-Gao against cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury. The outputs of this study would provide scientific basis for future clinical applications of QYG as prebiotics to treat cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury, and gut microbiota may be a promising therapeutic target for chemotherapy-induced nephrotoxicity.

Pu-erh tea is a healthy beverage rich in phytochemicals, and its effect on the risk of inducing circadian rhythm disorders (CRD) is unclear. In this study, healthy mice were given water or 0.25% (w/v) Pu-erh tea for 7 weeks, followed by a 40 day disruption of the light/dark cycle. CRD caused dysregulation of neurotransmitter secretion and clock gene oscillations, intestinal inflammation, and disruption of intestinal microbes and metabolites. Pu-erh tea boosted the indole and 5-hydroxytryptamine pathways of tryptophan metabolism via the gut–liver–brain axis. Furthermore, its metabolites (e.g., IAA, Indole, 5-HT) enhanced hepatic glycolipid metabolism and down-regulated intestinal oxidative stress by improving the brain hormone release. Tryptophan metabolites and bile acids also promoted liver lipid metabolism and inhibited intestinal inflammation (MyD88/NF-κB) via the enterohepatic circulation. Collectively, 0.25% (w/v) Pu-erh tea has the potential to prevent CRD by promoting indole and 5-HT pathways of tryptophan metabolism and signaling interactions in the gut–liver–brain axis.

As an alternative to bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol S (BPS) is widely used in many consumer goods and industrial products. However, BPS has similar genotoxic, reproductive and endocrine disrupting effects to BPA and can enter the body through the food chain or by dermal absorption to endanger human health. This paper presents a rapid and direct electrochemical sensing technique for ultra-trace BPS determination on the basis of the signal amplification of the 1T phase & 2H phase hybrid MoS2 nanosheets (1T&2H-MoS2) and amino-functionalized carbon nanotube (CNTs-NH2) composites. The cooperative electrocatalytic effect and high-electrically active surface area of 1T&2H-MoS2/CNTs-NH2 composites not only facilitated the electron transfer between BPS and the electrode, but also promoted the adsorption of BPS on the electrode. Hence, the 1T&2H-MoS2/CNTs-NH2 modified electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity with a lower oxidation potential and higher peak current for BPS. Under the optimized conditions, the peak current response of BPS showed a good dose-dependent relationship with its concentration in the range of 0.02–1.0 μM and 1.0–70.0 μM, while the detection limit was as low as 8.6 nM. The proposed method was used to determine BPS in the mineral water bottle and orange juice samples with satisfactory spiked recoveries between 92.31% and 104.20%, demonstrating its reliability and practicality in real sample analysis. Furthermore, the sensing method has the characteristics of facile electrode fabrication, fast response (<4 min) and good reproducibility.

The increase in consumer demand for high-quality food products has led to growth in the use of new technologies and ingredients. Resistant starch (RS) is a recently recognised source of fibre and has received much attention for its potential health benefits and functional properties. However, knowledge about the fate of RS in modulating complex intestinal communities, the microbial members involved in its degradation, enhancement of microbial metabolites, and its functional role in body physiology is still limited. For this purpose, the current study was designed to ratify the physiological and functional health benefits of enzymatically prepared resistant starch (EM-RSIII) from maize flour. To approve the beneficial health effects as prebiotic, EM-RSIII was supplemented in rat diets. After 21 days of the experiment, EM-RSIII fed rats showed a significant reduction in body weight gain, fecal pH, glycemic response, serum lipid profile, insulin level and reshaping gut microbiota, and enhancing short-chain fatty acid compared to control. The count of butyrate-producing and starch utilizing bacteria, such as Lactobacillus , Enterococcus , and Pediococcus genus in rat’s gut, elevated after the consumption of medium and high doses of EM-RSIII, while the E . coli completely suppressed in high EM-RSIII fed rats. Short-chain fatty acids precisely increased in feces of EM-RSIII feed rats. Correlation analysis demonstrated that the effect of butyrate on functional and physiological alteration on the body had been investigated during the current study. Conclusively, the present study demonstrated the unprecedented effect of utilising EM-RSIII as a diet on body physiology and redesigning gut microorganisms.

The antidiabetic effect and potential mechanisms of the polysaccharides from the fruits of Lycium barbarum L. (LBPs) by the mouse model of high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced diabetes were investigated. Six-week oral administration of LBPs (200 mg/kg/day) resulted in improvement in the levels of fasting blood glucose (13.51% decrease) and glycated hemoglobin and β-cell function in diabetic mice, and simultaneously induced a 3.3-fold increment in one taxon belonging to genus Allobaculum in gut bacterial community. The experiments of fecal microbiota transplantation and antibiotics treatment confirmed that the LBPs-mediated gut microbiota participated in the glycemic control of the diabetes management. Moreover, LBPs intervention guarded the intestinal barrier function via upregulating the expression of zonula occludens 1 both in vivo (analyzing the gut permeability in diabetic mice) and in vitro (using intestinal-like Caco-2/RAW264.7 cells co-culture inflammation model). Collectively, our study showed that LBPs could confer anti-diabetic effect through modifying gut microbiota and intestinal barrier.
