White Tea Intake Abrogates Markers of Streptozotocin-Induced Prediabetes Oxidative Stress in Rat Lungs'.

ABSTRACT: Prediabetes (PrDM) is a prodromal stage of diabetes mellitus (DM) with an increasing prevalence worldwide. During DM progression, individuals gradually develop complications in various organs. However, lungs are suggested to be affected later than other organs, such as the eyes, heart or brain. In this work, we studied the effects of PrDM on male Wistar rats' lungs and whether the regular consumption of white tea (WTEA) for 2 months contributes to the improvement of the antioxidant profile of this tissue, namely through improved activity of the first line defense antioxidant enzymes, the total antioxidant capacity and the damages caused in proteins, lipids and histone H2A. Our data shows that PrDM induced a decrease in lung superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities and histone H2A levels and an increase in protein nitration and lipid peroxidation. Remarkably, the regular WTEA intake improved lung antioxidant enzymes activity and total antioxidant capacity and re-established the values of protein nitration, lipid peroxidation and histone H2A. Overall, this is the first time that lung is reported as a major target for PrDM. Moreover, it is also the first report showing that WTEA possesses relevant chemical properties against PrDM-induced lung dysfunction.

Altered Gene Expression Profiles in the Lungs of Streptozotocin-induced Diabetic Mice.

Project description:Diabetes mellitus is a common heterogeneous metabolic disorder, characterized by deposition of extracellular matrix, oxidative stress, and vascular dysfunction, thereby leading to gradual loss of function in multiple organs. However, little attention has been paid to gene expression changes in the lung under hyperglycemic conditions. In this study, we found that diabetes inuced histological changes in the lung of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. Global gene expression profiling revealed a set of genes that are up- and down-regulated in the lung of diabetic mice. Among these, expression of Amigo2, Adrb2, and Zbtb16 were confirmed at the transcript level to correlate significantly with hyperglycemia in the lung. We further evaluated the effect of human umbilical cord-derived perivascular stem cells (PVCs) on these gene expression in the lung of diabetic mice. Our results show that administration of PVC-conditioned medium significantly suppressed Amig2, Adrb2, and Zbtb16 upregulation in these mice, suggesting that these genes may be useful indicators of lung injury during hyperglycemia. Furthermore, PVCs offer a promising alternative cell therapy for treating diabetic complications via regulation of gene expression.

Modulation of Rat Kidney Stone Crystallization and the Relative Oxidative Stress Pathway by Green Tea Polyphenol.

Project description:The role of tea polyphenol (TP) in modulating kidney stone crystallization and regulating the relative nephropathy pathway of rats was investigated. Calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystallization and oxidative stress are essential for kidney stone diseases. The kidney stone model in a rat was established by using ethylene glycol to affect the oxalic acid metabolism. The crystallization process of CaOx in the rat kidney was modulated by different TP intakes. At the same time, the effects of different types of CaOx, extracted from the rat kidney, on the proliferation and differentiation of HK-2 cells were also studied. The results showed that calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals were obtained in the blank control and the low-dose TP groups. However, CaOx crystals extracted from higher-TP-intake groups were mainly calcium oxalate dihydrate. Moreover, the size of the CaOx crystals produced in TP intake groups was much smaller than that of the blank control group. Cell experiment results show that TP can effectively reduce the damage of CaOx crystals to HK-2 cells. Further research found that TP can significantly improve oxidative stress in cases of kidney stones. TP has been proven to control CaOx crystallization in vitro, but the in vivo research results obtained through the rat stone model in this paper are novel and originally important for researching the relationship between tea drinking and preventive treatment of kidney stone diseases.

Enhanced Re-Endothelialization of Decellularized Rat Lungs.

Project description:Decellularized lung tissue has been recognized as a potential platform to engineer whole lung organs suitable for transplantation or for modeling a variety of lung diseases. However, many technical hurdles remain before this potential may be fully realized. Inability to efficiently re-endothelialize the pulmonary vasculature with a functional endothelium appears to be the primary cause of failure of recellularized lung scaffolds in early transplant studies. Here, we present an optimized approach for enhanced re-endothelialization of decellularized rodent lung scaffolds with rat lung microvascular endothelial cells (ECs). This was achieved by adjusting the posture of the lung to a supine position during cell seeding through the pulmonary artery. The supine position allowed for significantly more homogeneous seeding and better cell retention in the apex regions of all lobes than the traditional upright position, especially in the right upper and left lobes. Additionally, the supine position allowed for greater cell retention within large diameter vessels (proximal 100-5000??m) than the upright position, with little to no difference in the small diameter distal vessels. EC adhesion in the proximal regions of the pulmonary vasculature in the decellularized lung was dependent on the binding of EC integrins, specifically ?1?1, ?2?1, and ?5?1 integrins to, respectively, collagen type-I, type-IV, and fibronectin in the residual extracellular matrix. Following in vitro maturation of the seeded constructs under perfusion culture, the seeded ECs spread along the vascular wall, leading to a partial reestablishment of endothelial barrier function as inferred from a custom-designed leakage assay. Our results suggest that attention to cellular distribution within the whole organ is of paramount importance for restoring proper vascular function.

Comparison of coenzyme Q10 or fish oil for prevention of intermittent hypoxia-induced oxidative injury in neonatal rat lungs.

Project description:BackgroundNeonatal intermittent hypoxia (IH) results in oxidative distress in preterm infants with immature antioxidant systems, contributing to lung injury. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and fish oil protect against oxidative injury. We tested the hypothesis that CoQ10 is more effective than fish oil for prevention of IH-induced lung injury in neonatal rats.MethodsNewborn rats were exposed to two clinically relevant IH paradigms at birth (P0): (1) 50% O2 with brief hypoxia (12% O2); or (2) room air (RA) with brief hypoxia (12% O2), until P14 during which they were supplemented with daily oral CoQ10, fish oil, or olive oil from P0 to P14. Pups were studied at P14 or placed in RA until P21 with no further treatment. Lungs were assessed for histopathology and morphometry; biomarkers of oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation; and antioxidants.ResultsOf the two neonatal IH paradigms 21%/12% O2 IH resulted in the most severe outcomes, evidenced by histopathology and morphometry. CoQ10 was effective for preserving lung architecture and reduction of IH-induced oxidative stress biomarkers. In contrast, fish oil resulted in significant adverse outcomes including oversimplified alveoli, hemorrhage, reduced secondary crest formation and thickened septae. This was associated with elevated oxidants and antioxidants activities.ConclusionsData suggest that higher FiO2 may be needed between IH episodes to curtail the damaging effects of IH, and to provide the lungs with necessary respite. The negative outcomes with fish oil supplementation suggest oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation.

Comparison of hypoglycemic effects of ripened pu-erh tea and raw pu-erh tea in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

Project description:Pu-erh tea is produced from the leaves of large-leaf tea species (Camellia sinensis var. assamica) in the Yunnan province of China and divided into ripened pu-erh tea (RIPT, with pile-fermentation) and raw pu-erh tea (RAPT) according to processing methods. RIPT extract showed more potent anti-diabetic effects on two-hour postprandial blood glucose (2h-PBG) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) than RAPT extract. UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS and UHPLC-PDA analyses found that 17 newly formed components and the increased components after fermentation, such as quinic acid, gallic acid, caffeine, puerin I and so on, might be the main contributors to the enhanced activities of RIPT. In addition, the probiotic role of RIPT to some beneficial gut bacteria, such as lactobacillus, Prevotellaceae NK3B31 group, Alloprevotella and Prevotella, was observed in our study. These results might provide a clue to anti-diabetic mechanism and active components of pu-erh tea, and use as a functional beverage worth to be further studied.

Oxidative stress and metabolic markers in pre- and postnatal polycystic ovary syndrome rat protocols.

Project description:Background:Several studies have described an enhanced inflammatory status and oxidative stress balance disruption in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, there is scarce information about redox markers in the blood of androgenized animal models. Here, we evaluated the serum/plasma oxidative stress marker and metabolic parameter characteristics of prenatal (PreN) and postnatal (PostN) androgenized rat models of PCOS. Materials and methods:For PreN androgenization (n=8), 2.5 mg of testosterone propionate was subcutaneously administered to dams at embryonic days 16, 17, and 18, whereas PostN androgenization (n=7) was accomplished by subcutaneously injecting 1.25 mg of testosterone propionate to animals at PostN day 5. A unique control group (n=8) was constituted for comparison. Results:Our results indicate that PostN group rats exhibited particular modifications in the oxidative stress marker, an increased plasma ferric-reducing ability of plasma, and an increased antioxidant capacity reflected by higher albumin serum levels. PostN animals also presented increased total cholesterol and triglyceride-glucose levels, suggesting severe metabolic disarrangement. Conclusion:Study findings indicate that changes in oxidative stress could be promoted by testosterone propionate exposure after birth, which is likely associated with anovulation and/or lipid disarrangement.

Di-Tyrosine Crosslinking and <i>NOX4</i> Expression as Oxidative Pathological Markers in the Lungs of Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a noninflammatory progressive lung disease. Oxidative damage is a hallmark of IPF, but the sources and consequences of oxidant generation in the lungs are unclear. In this study, we addressed the link between the H2O2-generating enzyme NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) and di-tyrosine (DT), an oxidative post-translational modification in IPF lungs. We performed immunohistochemical staining for DT and NOX4 in pulmonary tissue from patients with IPF and controls using validated antibodies. In the healthy lung, DT showed little or no staining and NOX4 was mostly present in normal vascular endothelium. On the other hand, both markers were detected in several cell types in the IPF patients, including vascular smooth muscle cells and epithelium (bronchial cells and epithelial cells type II). The link between NOX4 and DT was addressed in human fibroblasts deficient for NOX4 activity (mutation in the CYBA gene). Induction of NOX4 by Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) in fibroblasts led to moderate DT staining after the addition of a heme-containing peroxidase in control cells but not in the fibroblasts deficient for NOX4 activity. Our data indicate that DT is a histological marker of IPF and that NOX4 can generate a sufficient amount of H2O2 for DT formation in vitro.

Systematic transcriptome analysis of white tea based on microarray

Project description:Emerging in vivo and vitro data suggest that white tea extract (WTE) is capable of favourably modulating metabolic syndrome, especially by ameliorating abnormal lipid metabolism. Microarray-based gene expression profiling was performed in HepG2 cells to analyze the effects of WTE from a systematic perspective. Gene Ontology and pathway analysis revealed that WTE significantly affected pathways related to lipid metabolism. WTE significantly downregulated apolipoprotein B (APOB) and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP) expression and thereby reduced the production of very-low-density lipoprotein. In the meanwhile, WTE stimulated low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c) uptake through targeting low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), as a consequence of the activation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ). Furthermore, WTE significantly downregulated triglycerides synthetic genes and reduced intracellular triglycerides accumulation. Besides, we demonstrated that the tea catechins epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG) are abundant in WTE and contribute to the regulation of cholesterol metabolism related genes, including LDLR, MTTP and APOB. Our findings suggest white tea plays important roles in ameliorating abnormal lipid metabolism in vitro.
