α-Mangostin suppresses ethanol-induced gastric ulceration by regulating the Nrf2/HO-1 and NF-κB/NLRP3/caspase-1 signaling pathways and gut microbiota.

ABSTRACT: α-Mangostin is a natural xanthone derivative isolated from Camellia atrophy (CA), commonly known as Lichuan black tea (LBT). The present study investigated the ameliorating effect and mechanism of α-mangostin on alcoholic gastric ulcers (GU) in rats. In vivo, α-mangostin relieved pathological symptoms. Moreover, α-mangostin regulated the activation of the nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)/NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3)/caspase-1 pathways. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were significantly decreased and IL-10 were increased, the microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3)-II/LC3-I ratio was increased, p62 protein expression was decreased, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) protein expression was down-regulated. The relevant mechanisms were validated using GSE-1 and RAW264.7 cells in an in vitro model. Furthermore, α-mangostin increased Ligilactobacillus and Muribaculum abundance as well as propionic acid and butyric acid contents. Therefore, α-mangostin possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and remodels intestinal flora dysbiosis through mechanisms that may involve regulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and NF-κB/NLRP3/caspase-1 pathway. It also increases propionic acid and butyric acid contents. This study provides novel evidence regarding the use of α-mangostin for treating GU.

Project description:BackgroundPicroside II (P-II) is the main bioactive constituent of Picrorhiza Kurroa, a traditional Chinese herb of interest for its proven anti-inflammatory properties. Its beneficial effects have been noted across several physiological systems, including the nervous, circulatory, and digestive, capable of treating a wide range of diseases. Nevertheless, the potential of Picroside II to treat osteoarthritis (OA) and the mechanisms behind its efficacy remain largely unexplored.AimThis study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Picroside II in the treatment of osteoarthritis and its potential molecular mechanisms.MethodsIn vitro, we induced cellular inflammation in chondrocytes with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and subsequently treated with Picroside II to assess protective effect on chondrocyte. We employed the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay to assess the impact of Picroside II on cell viability and select the optimal Picroside II concentration for subsequent experiments. We explored the effect of Picroside II on chondrocyte pyroptosis and its underlying molecular mechanisms by qRT-PCR, Western blot (WB) and immunofluorescence. In vivo, we established the destabilization of the medial meniscus surgery to create an OA mouse model. The therapeutic effects of Picroside II were then assessed through Micro-CT scanning, Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining, Safranin O-Fast Green (S&F) staining, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence.ResultsIn in vitro studies, toluidine blue and CCK-8 results showed that a certain concentration of Picroside II had a restorative effect on the viability of chondrocytes inhibited by LPS. Picroside II notably suppressed the expression levels of caspase-1, IL-18, and IL-1β, which consequently led to the reduction of pyroptosis. Moreover, Picroside II was shown to decrease NLRP3 inflammasome activation, via the MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway. In vivo studies have shown that Picroside II can effectively reduce subchondral bone destruction and osteophyte formation in the knee joint of mice after DMM surgery.ConclusionsOur research suggests that Picroside II can inhibit chondrocyte pyroptosis and ameliorate osteoarthritis progression by modulating the MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway.
