This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of mussel polysaccharide (MP) on cyclophosphamide (Cy)-induced intestinal mucosal immunosuppression and microbial dysbiosis in mice. MP was shown to stimulate secretion of cytokines (SIgA, IL-2, IF-γ, IL-4, IL-10) and production of transcription factors (occludin, claudin-1, ZO-1, mucin-2, IL-2, IF-γ, IL-4, IL-10). Key proteins (p-IκB-α, p-p65) of the NF-κB pathway were upregulated after MP administration. SCFAs levels, which were decreased after the Cy treatment, were improved after treatment with MP. Furthermore, 16 S rRNA sequencing data of fecal samples revealed, through α-diversity and β-diversity analysis, that MP improved microbial community diversity and modulate the overall composition of gut microbiota. Taxonomic composition analysis showed that MP increased the abundance of probiotics species (Lactobacillus) and decreased the proportion of pathogenic species (Desulfovibrio). These findings suggested that MP has a potential immunomodulatory activity on the immunosuppressive mice.

“…Many flavonoids and polysaccharides from Bergenia species have shown antioxidation and anti-inflammatory effect [18,19]. BGN is a colorless crystalline protein coumarin and a C-glycoside of 4-O-methyl gallic acid that is involved in antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiarthritic, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective activities in vitro [20].…”

Objective Bergenin (BGN) is a C-glycoside of 4-O-methylgallic acid with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and tissue-repairing abilities. Here, we probed the roles and mechanisms of BGN in ischemic stroke-mediated cerebral injury. Methods The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was established in mice, which were injected intraperitoneally with varying concentrations of BGN (10, 20, and 40 mg/kg). The modified neurological severity score (mNSS) and the water maze experiment were adopted to evaluate mice’s neural functions (movement and memory). The brain edema was assessed by the dry and wet method. TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)-labeled apoptotic neurons and Iba1-labeled microglia in the cortex were measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR and ELISA were implemented to determine the expression of inflammatory cytokines (TNFα, IL-1β, and IL-6), neurotrophic factors (BDNF and VEGF), and oxidative stress factors (SOD and MDA) in brain tissues. The profiles of Sirt1, FOXO3a, Nrf2, NF-κB, and STAT6 in brain tissues were checked by western blot. Results BGN significantly improved MCAO mice’s cognitive, learning, and motor functions, reduced brain edema, hampered the production of inflammatory factors and oxidative stress mediators, and suppressed neuronal apoptosis. Additionally, BGN dampened the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and upregulated neurotrophic factors and oxidative stress factors in ischemic brain tissues of MCAO mice. Meanwhile, BGN reduced the expression of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stressors in oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation-induced BV2 microglia. Further mechanistic studies revealed that BGN concentration dependently elevated the profiles of Sirt1, FOXO3a, STAT6, and Nrf2, and abated the NF-κB phosphorylation. Conclusion BGN protects against ischemic stroke in mice by boosting the Sirt1/FOXO3a pathway, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent for ischemic stroke.

“…Antioxidants are chemicals that bind free radicals and drastically decrease or prevent substrate oxidation [ 18 , 19 ]. They limit free radical damage by blocking free radicals from damaging lipids, protein amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and the double bonds of DNA bases [ 20 , 21 , 22 ].…”

Advances in Antioxidant Applications for Combating 131I Side Effects in Thyroid Cancer Treatment

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer, and its prevalence has been increasing for decades. Approx. 95% of differentiated thyroid carcinomas are treated using 131iodine (131I), a radionuclide with a half-life of 8 days, to achieve optimal thyroid residual ablation following thyroidectomy. However, while 131I is highly enriched in eliminating thyroid tissue, it can also retain and damage other body parts (salivary glands, liver, etc.) without selectivity, and even trigger salivary gland dysfunction, secondary cancer, and other side effects. A significant amount of data suggests that the primary mechanism for these side effects is the excessive production of reactive oxygen species, causing a severe imbalance of oxidant/antioxidant in the cellular components, resulting in secondary DNA damage and abnormal vascular permeability. Antioxidants are substances that are capable of binding free radicals and reducing or preventing the oxidation of the substrate in a significant way. These compounds can help prevent damage caused by free radicals, which can attack lipids, protein amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and double bonds of DNA bases. Based on this, the rational utilization of the free radical scavenging function of antioxidants to maximize a reduction in 131I side effects is a promising medical strategy. This review provides an overview of the side effects of 131I, the mechanisms by which 131I causes oxidative stress-mediated damage, and the potential of natural and synthetic antioxidants in ameliorating the side effects of 131I. Finally, the disadvantages of the clinical application of antioxidants and their improving strategies are prospected. Clinicians and nursing staff can use this information to alleviate 131I side effects in the future, both effectively and reasonably.
