Abstract

In the elderly population, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of visual impairment, characterized by a thinner retinal pigment epithelium and loss of photoreceptors. 6-shogaol (6S), a component of dried Zingiber officinale Roscoe, has been studied for its multiple therapeutic effects. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of 6S supplementation on AMD. 25-month-old C57BL/6 mice were orally administered with 10 mg/kg of 6S for 28 consecutive days. The thickness of the retinal layer was measured by histological analysis. mRNA expression related to fibrosis, inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum stress was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction. As a result, 6S increased the thickness of the retinal layer and promoted postsynaptic density protein-95 expression in the outer plexiform layer of the aged mice. Moreover, 6S suppressed ocular mRNA expression related to the fibrotic process, including transforming growth factor beta, collagen type 1 alpha 1, and alpha smooth muscle actin. Furthermore, 6S reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1 beta, cyclooxygenase-2, and inducible nitric oxide synthase in the eyeballs of aged mice. Lastly, 6S inhibited ocular endoplasmic reticulum stress measured by mRNA expression of C/EBP homologous protein and spliced X-box binding protein-1 in the aged mice. Taken together, these findings suggest that 6S and dried ginger could be a potential nutraceutical candidate for AMD or other age-related eye diseases.
生姜的生物活性成分6-shogaol可减轻25月龄小鼠衰老引起的眼部炎症和内质网应激。
在老年人中,年龄相关性黄斑变性(AMD)是视力障碍的主要原因,其特征是视网膜色素上皮变薄和光感受器丧失。6-shogaol (6S)是干姜中的一种成分,因其具有多种治疗作用而被研究。本研究旨在探讨补充6S对AMD的影响。25月龄C57BL/6小鼠口服6S 10 mg/kg,连续28天。通过组织学分析测定视网膜层厚度。实时聚合酶链反应检测与纤维化、炎症和内质网应激相关的mRNA表达。结果表明,6S增加了老龄小鼠视网膜层厚度,促进了突触后密度蛋白-95在外丛状层的表达。此外,6S还抑制了眼部与纤维化过程相关的mRNA表达,包括转化生长因子β、1型胶原α 1和α平滑肌肌动蛋白。此外,6S还能降低衰老小鼠眼球的促炎细胞因子,包括肿瘤坏死因子α、白细胞介素1 β、环氧化酶-2和诱导型一氧化氮合酶。最后,通过C/EBP同源蛋白和剪接的X-box结合蛋白-1的mRNA表达,测定6S对老年小鼠眼内质网应激的抑制作用。综上所述,这些发现表明,6S和干姜可能是治疗黄斑变性或其他与年龄有关的眼病的潜在营养品。
