This study set up to demonstrate whether Tri is capable of inducing ferroptosis in CC cells and its potential mechanism. In vitro, Tri was used to treat CC cells, and lipid peroxidation levels in CC cells were detected by flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, and other experiments; the molecular mechanism of Tri treatment of CC was explored by western blot; moreover, the regulatory effects of Tri on the NRF2/GPX4/xCT axis were verified by overexpressing NRF2 in reverse. In vivo, CC cells tumor-bearing mice were constructed to observe the effect of Tri treatment on tumor growth. In vitro, we have demonstrated that Tri prevents the growth and migration of CC cells. Further investigation revealed that Tri substantially enhances ferroptosis in CC cells by increasing lipid peroxidation accumulation. Mechanically, Tri significantly reduced the expression of NRF2, leading to a corresponding repression of the NRF2 downstream targets GPX4 and xCT. Moreover, overexpressing of NRF2 effectively reversed the impact of Tri on ferroptosis in CC cells.

After confirming the MAO-B inhibitory effect of Suf-B through MAO-B enzyme assay, we administered Suf-B to APP/PS1 AD model mice. To test the potential therapeutic action of Suf-B in AD, a series of experiments were conducted, including behavioral tests such as the open field test, novel object recognition test, Barnes maze test, passive avoidance test, as well as immunohistochemistry and whole-cell patch-clamp recordings. We found that Suf-B markedly inhibited MAO-B activity without causing cytotoxicity. Immunohistochemistry and electrophysiology experiments demonstrated that Suf-B significantly reduced astrocyte reactivity, as well as an aberrant increase in GABA production and tonic GABA release from astrocytes in AD. Behavior test results indicated that Suf-B treatment restored cognitive function in APP/PS1 mice. In conclusion, Suf-B effectively reduces excessive GABA production in reactive astrocytes by inhibiting MAO-B, normalizing aberrant inhibition in hippocampal neurons in an AD mouse model.

In addition, the interaction between ISL and MD2 was investigated through co-immunoprecipitation and LPS displacement assays. Molecular docking and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry analyses were employed to predict the ISL-binding domain of MD2. We found that ISL covalently bound to the Cysteine 133 residue of MD2, disrupting the formation of the LPS/MD2/toll-like receptor 4 complex, and ISL significantly suppressed proinflammatory cytokine production and reactive oxygen species generation in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. Moreover, ISL significantly alleviated lung injury in LPS-induced mice, reducing pulmonary microvascular permeability, inflammatory cell infiltration, and inflammatory cytokine expression. The underlying mechanism of ISL involved the inhibition of nuclear factor kappa B and the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway.

This study aimed to explore the effects of the plant polar glycosidic fraction (AAG) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in an in vivo model induced by diethylnitrosamine (DEN).

Serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), gamma-glutamyl transferase (γ-GGT), glutathione S-transferase placental (GST-P), mRNA expression of metabolic cytochrome enzymes (CYP1A3 and CYP2B2), inflammatory genes (nuclear factor kappa-B p65 subunit; NF-κB p65), metalloproteases 9 (MMP9), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteases (TIMP1), transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1), and histological features were assessed. (3) Key results and conclusions and implications: AAG was characterized by five major secondary metabolites: saponins, chromones, anthraquinone, and triterpenes. The fraction reduced hepatic malignancy characteristics by diminishing the size and number of altered foci and lowering hepatic cancer biomarkers, such as γ-GGT, AFP, and GST-positive foci. It also reduced the mRNA levels of CYP1A3 and CYP2B2, NF-κB p65, and MMP9, hepatic Ki-67, and TGFβ1 while upregulating TIMP1 levels. This study revealed that AAG exhibited a marked suppressive effect on HCC cell proliferation, displaying a range of mechanistic actions, including decreasing the metabolic activation of cytochrome enzymes, which consequently reduced the production of reactive oxygen species and other genes implicated in cancer development.

Leptin, as a regulator of body weight, can suppress appetite and promote energy expenditure, making it potential in obesity treatment. Nevertheless, with the progress of relevant research, it is worth noting that monotherapy with leptin is not an effective strategy since most obese individuals are hyperleptinemic and resistant to leptin, where high levels of leptin fail to exert its weight-loss effects. Therefore, the potential to unlock the weight-loss properties of leptin using pharmacology to improve resistance has provided a new direction for this field. However, most synthetic medicines have retreated from the market due to their undesirable side effects, while natural products are increasingly sought after for drug development due to their minimal side effects. Indeed, natural products are ideal alternatives to oral synthetic agents since a growing body of research has demonstrated their desirable effects on improving leptin resistance through potential therapeutic targets like the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, the exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP/Ras-related protein 1 signaling pathway, endoplasmic reticulum stress, pro-opiomelanocortin gene, and leptin levels. This review outlines natural products that can improve leptin resistance by inhibiting or activating these targets and evaluates their efficacy in experiments and human clinical trials, offering insights for the development of anti-obesity agents.

These molecules, present in many foods, have numerous effects on the body's cells, including regulation of the transcription and epigenetics, cell signaling, cell cycle, cell growth, apoptosis, and oxidative stress. However, despite the multitude of studies conducted, on these compounds, it remains difficult to draw definitive conclusions regarding their safety or dangerousness in the diet. Indeed, some epidemiological studies highlight health benefits in consuming isoflavone-rich foods, notably by reducing the risk of certain cancers. However, several studies conducted on cell models show that these molecules can have negative effects on cell fate, particularly with regard to proliferation and survival of mammary tumor cells. Isoflavones are mainly genistein, daidzein, formononetin, and biochanin A. These molecules belong to the family of phytoestrogens, which are capable of interacting with both nuclear estrogen receptor, ERα and ERβ, to trigger agonistic and antagonistic effects. Due to their estrogenic properties, isoflavones are suspected to promote hormone-dependent cancers such as breast cancer. This suspicion is based primarily on their ability to bind to ERα in breast cells, thereby altering the signaling pathways that control cell growth. However, study results are sometimes contradictory. Some studies suggest that isoflavones may protect against breast cancer by acting as selective estrogen receptor modulators, while others highlight their potential role in stimulating tumor growth.
