Polyphenol Microbial Metabolites Exhibit Gut and Blood?Brain Barrier Permeability and Protect Murine Microglia against LPS-Induced Inflammation.

ABSTRACT: Increasing evidence supports the beneficial effects of polyphenol-rich diets, including the traditional Mediterranean diet, for the management of cardiovascular disease, obesity and neurodegenerative diseases. However, a common concern when discussing the protective effects of polyphenol-rich diets against diseases is whether these compounds are present in systemic circulation in their intact/parent forms in order to exert their beneficial effects in vivo. Here, we explore two common classes of dietary polyphenols, namely isoflavones and lignans, and their gut microbial-derived metabolites for gut and blood-brain barrier predicted permeability, as well as protection against neuroinflammatory stimuli in murine BV-2 microglia. Polyphenol microbial metabolites (PMMs) generally showed greater permeability through artificial gut and blood-brain barriers compared to their parent compounds. The parent polyphenols and their corresponding PMMs were evaluated for protective effects against lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in BV-2 microglia. The lignan-derived PMMs, equol and enterolactone, exhibited protective effects against nitric oxide production, as well as against pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-?) in BV-2 microglia. Therefore, PMMs may contribute, in large part, to the beneficial effects attributed to polyphenol-rich diets, further supporting the important role of gut microbiota in human health and disease prevention.

Project description:Multiple risk factors contribute to the progression of Parkinson's disease, including oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. Epidemiological studies have revealed a link between higher urate level and a lower risk of developing PD. However, the mechanistic basis for this association remains unclear. Urate protects dopaminergic neurons from cell death induced by oxidative stress. Here, we investigated a novel role of urate in microglia activation in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced PD model.We utilized Griess, ELISA, real-time PCR, Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence to detect the neuroinflammation. For Griess, ELISA, Western blot, and immunofluorescence assay, cells were seeded in 6-well plates pre-coated with poly-L-lysine (PLL) and incubated for 24 h with the indicated drugs. For real-time PCR assay, cells were seeded in 6-well plates pre-coated with PLL and incubated for 6 h with the indicated drugs. For animal experiments, rats were injected with urate or its vehicle twice daily for five consecutive days before and after stereotaxic surgery. Rats were killed and brain tissues were harvested after 4 weeks of LPS injection.In cultured BV2 cells and rat primary microglia, urate suppressed proinflammatory cytokine production and inducible cyclooxygenase 2 and nitric oxide synthase expression to protect dopaminergic neurons from the toxic effects of activated microglia. The neuroprotective effects of urate may also be associated with the stimulation of anti-inflammatory factors interleukin 10 and transforming growth factor ?1. Intracellular urate level was increased in a dose-dependent manner upon co-treatment with urate and LPS as compared with LPS alone, an effect that was abrogated by pretreatment with probenecid (PBN), an inhibitor of both glucose transporter 9 and urate transporter 1 (URAT1). PBN also abolished the anti-inflammatory effect of urate. Consistent with these in vitro observations, the number of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive neurons was decreased and the loss of motor coordination was reversed by urate administration in an LPS-induced rat model of PD. Additionally, increased plasma urate level abolished the reduction of URAT1 expression, the increase in the expression of interleukin-1?, and the number of ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1-positive microglia along with changes in their morphology.Urate protects neurons against cytotoxicity induced by microglia activation via modulating urate transporter-mediated intracellular urate level.
