To investigate the potential protective effect of raw and heat-treated soymilks after gastrointestinal digestion against chemical oxidative stress induced by 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) on human erythrocytes, soymilk was subjected to heat treatment and in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. The inhibition rate of hemolysis, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSH) and the enzyme activity of total superoxide dismutase (SOD) and cellular glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were evaluated as the biomarkers of oxidative status. Hemolysis of erythrocytes induced by AAPH was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with the digested raw soymilk (DRS) and digested heat-treated soymilk (DHS). Moreover, heat treatment prior to gastrointestinal digestion improved the inhibition effect of soymilk on erythrocytes hemolysis. The soymilk treated at 95 °C showed the highest inhibition rate, followed by 121 °C and 143 °C, revealed that the increase of temperature caused the decrease of hemolysis inhibition rate of DHS. Preincubation with the digested soymilks reduced the accumulation of MDA in erythrocytes, indicating the inhibition effect of the digested soymilks on lipid peroxidation. Results revealed that DRS and DHS alleviated the hemolysis of erythrocytes and lipid peroxidation resulted from oxidative stress by suppressing the accumulation of ROS, reducing the increase of SOD activity and decrease of non-enzymatic antioxidant GSH and enzymatic antioxidant GPx activity. Compared with raw soymilk, heat treatment improved the protective effect of the digested soymilk on erythrocytes against oxidative stress via enhancing the free radicals scavenging activity instead of improving the inhibition effect on the generation of free radicals.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a rapidly progressing neurological disorder. Currently, Medication for PD has numerous limitations. Baichanting Compound (BCT) is a Chinese herbal prescription, a Combination of Acanthopanax senticosus (Rupr. and Maxim.) Harms, Paeonia lactiflora Pall and Uncaria rhynchophylla (Miq.) Miq. ex Havil, that was developed to treat PD and holds a national patent (ZL, 201110260536.3). To clarify the therapeutic effect of BCT on PD and explore its possible mechanism based on metabolomics and metagenomics. C57BL/6 mice were used as a control group, and α-syn transgenic C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to the PD (without treatment) or BCT (with BCT treatment) group. UPLC-MS was performed to detect dopamine levels in brain tissue, while ELISA was used to determine inflammatory factors such as IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ and NO, and oxidative stress indicators such as malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase enzyme activity. Fecal metabolomics was used to detect fecal metabolic profiles, screen differential metabolic markers, and predict metabolic pathways by KEGG enrichment analysis. Metagenomics was used to determine the intestinal microbial composition, and KO enrichment analysis was performed to predict the potential function of different gut microbiota. Finally, Spearman correlation analysis was used to find the possible relationships among intestinal flora, metabolic markers, inflammatory factors, oxidative stress and dopamine levels. BCT increased the superoxide dismutase activity of α-Syn transgenic C57BL/6 mice (P < 0.01), decreased the levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-6, NO and malondialdehyde (P < 0.01, 0.05), and increased the release of dopamine (P < 0.01). Metabolomics results show that BCT could regulate Acetatifactor , Marvinbryantia , Faecalitalea , Anaeromassilibacillus , Anaerobium , Pseudobutyrivibrio and Lachnotalea and Acetatifactor_muris , Marvinbryantia_formatexigens , Lachnotalea sp AF33_28 , Faecalitalea sp Marseille_P3755 and Anaerobium_acetethylicum , Gemmiger sp An120 abundance to restore intestinal flora function, and reverse fecal metabolism trend, restoring the content of α-D-glucose, cytidine, L-glutamate, L-glutamine, N-acetyl-L-glutamate, raffinose and uracil. In addition, it regulates arginine biosynthesis, D-glutamine and D-glutamate, pyrimidine, galactose and alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolic pathways. BCT may regulate the composition of the gut microbiota to reverse fecal metabolism in PD mice to protect the substantia nigra and striatum from oxidative stress and inflammatory factors and ultimately play an anti-PD role. [Display omitted] • BCT mainly contains eleutheroside B, paeoniflorin, eleutheroside E, and rhynchophylline, which has potential to treat PD. • BCT reduces neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in PD mice, increases dopamine release to alleviate movement disorders. • BCT treatment of PD may be related to changes in intestinal flora and reversal of metabolism.

Acanthopanax senticosus (Rupr.et.Maxim.)Harms(AS) is an extract of Eleutherococcus senticocus Maxim(Rupr.et.Maxim.). In modern medical interpretation, Acanthopanax senticosus can be used to treat Parkinson's disease, and a large number of modern pharmacological and clinical studies also support this application. Our study demonstrated that AS extracts can increase the activity of various antioxidant enzymes and improve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease in mice. The current study looked at the protective effect of Acanthopanax senticosus extracts(ASE) in preventing PD. First, the α-syn-overexpressing mice were chosen as suitable models for Parkinson's disease in vivo. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the substantia nigra. Meanwhile, TH expression in substantia nigra was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Behavioral and biochemical tests evaluated neuroprotective effects of ASE on PD mice. Subsequently, combined with proteomics and metabolomics analysis, the changes in brain proteins and metabolites in mice treated with ASE for PD were studied. Finally, Western blot was used to detect metabolome-related and proteomic proteins in the brain tissue of α-syn mice. Forty-nine common differentially expressed proteins were screened by proteomics analysis, among which 28 were significantly up-regulated,and 21 were significantly down-regulated. Metabolomics analysis showed that twenty-five potentially important metabolites were involved in the therapeutic effect of ASE on PD. Most of the different proteins and metabolites were considered to be enriched in a variety of species in metabolic pathways, including glutathione metabolism and alanine aspartate and glutamate metabolism and other pathways, which means that ASE may have molecular mechanisms to ameliorate PD dysfunction. In addition, we found that decreases in glutathione and glutathione disulfide levels may play a critical role in these systemic changes and warrant further investigation. In the glutathione metabolic pathway, ASE also acts on GPX4, GCLC and GCLM. ASE can effectively relieve behavioral symptoms of α-syn mice and relieve oxidative stress in brain tissue. These findings suggest that ASE offers a potential solution to target these pathways for the treatment of PD. [Display omitted] • ASE can effectively relieve behavioral symptoms of α-syn mice and relieve oxidative stress in brain tissue. • ASE exerts anti-PD effects by regulating metabolites and proteins. • ASE can reduce PD by activating Nrf2 pathway and regulating its related protein levels.

Methylglyoxal (MGO), an active metabolite of glucose, can cause cellular injury which has an affinity for the progression of diabetes-associated atherosclerosis. Phosphocreatine (PCr) is a well-known high-energy phosphate compound. However, its protective effects and mechanism in the formation of a diabetes-associated atherosclerosis have not been clarified. In the present study, we investigated whether PCr could prevent MGO-induced apoptosis in human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) and explored the possible mechanisms. Cells were pre-treated with PCr and then stimulated with MGO. Cell morphology, cytotoxicity and apoptosis were assessed by light microscopy, MTT assay, and Annexin V-FITC respectively. Apoptotic-related proteins were evaluated by Western blotting. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, intracellular calcium and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were measured with fluorescent probes. Our results showed that PCr dose-dependently prevented MGO associated HUVEC cytotoxicity and suppressed MGO activated ROS generation as well as apoptotic biochemical changes such as lactate dehydrogenase, malondialdehyde leakage, loss of MMP, decreased Bcl-2/Bax protein ratio, levels of caspase-3 and 9. In addition, the antiapoptotic effect of PCr enhanced p-Akt/Akt protein ratio, NO synthase (eNOS) activation, NO production and cGMP levels and also was partially suppressed by a PI3K inhibitor (LY294002). Furthermore, PCr also inhibited MGO-induced transcriptional activity of Nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB). In conclusion, our data described that PCr exerts an antiapoptotic effect in HUVECs exposed to oxidative stress by MGO through the mitochondrial pathway and the modulation of PI3K/Akt/eNOS and NF-κB signaling pathway. Thus, it might be a candidate therapeutic agent for diabetic-associated cardiovascular diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
