Although oxidative stress is a major factor impeding the differentiation and homeostasis of skeletal muscles, its antioxidant activity in skeletal muscle cells has not been thoroughly studied. This study aimed to explore the protective mechanisms of diosgenin against oxidative damage in skeletal muscle cells. C2C12 murine myoblasts were pretreated with nontoxic concentrations of diosgenin and exposed to hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) to mimic oxidative stress. The results of this study showed that diosgenin significantly reduced H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-induced cytotoxicity, blocked the formation of comet tails, and increased the levels of 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine, which are representative biomarkers of DNA damage. In addition, diosgenin counteracted H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-induced apoptosis by enhancing the Bax/Bcl-2 expression ratio and suppressing the activation of the caspase cascade, which is associated with the blockade of cytochrome <i>c</i> release into the cytoplasm by maintaining mitochondrial stability. Furthermore, diosgenin eliminated the production of intracellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) by restoring glutathione (GSH) content and the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as GSH peroxidase 1 and manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase, which were inhibited by H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. Therefore, diosgenin protects C2C12 myoblasts from oxidative damage by attenuating mitochondrial ROS generation and regulating the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":467,"journal":{"name":"Applied Biological Chemistry","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://applbiolchem.springeropen.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s13765-025-00996-w","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144117788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present investigation illustrates that kaempferol has multi-faceted anti-tumor effects in hypoxic colon cancer cells, HCT-15 (ATCC) and HCT-116 (KCLB) by inhibiting HIF-1α/VEGF angiogenesis, Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression. In conditions of hypoxia, kaempferol inhibited the stabilization of HIF-1α and its downstream targets (VEGF, ANG1, VEGFR2), while also obstructing Wnt/β-catenin activation by decreasing β-catenin and modifying the expression of pathway components (c-Myc, Cyclin-D1, LEF1, APC, and Axin-2). Kaempferol mitigated hypoxia-induced EMT by reinstating E-cadherin and inhibiting N-cadherin, Vimentin, and MMP-2/9, which corresponded with diminished migration in transwell and wound-healing assay. Mechanistic investigations demonstrated dual regulation of HIF-1α transcriptional activity (HRE luciferase) and MAPK signaling (p-ERK/p-38), in conjunction with ROS-induced DNA damage and intrinsic apoptosis (cleaved caspase-3/9 and Bcl-2 protein expression). The impact on angiogenesis, EMT, and survival pathways significantly diminished the proliferation, invasion, and metastatic capacity of hypoxic colon cancer cells which identifies kaempferol as an innovative multi-pathway inhibitor, thereby offering a strong justification for its advancement as a therapeutic agent for advanced colorectal cancer.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":467,"journal":{"name":"Applied Biological Chemistry","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://applbiolchem.springeropen.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s13765-025-00992-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Functional foods include dairy products, bakery products and cereals, nutraceuticals, fermented foods, probiotics and prebiotics, vegetables, and fruits, whereas herbal medicines include several herbal plants not limited to ginseng, <i>ginkgo biloba</i>, and <i>ephedra</i> etc. which are expressed in many several forms such as decoctions, capsules, powders, teas, and oils.

Thus, this review aims to explore the synergistic pharmacological activities of functional foods and herbal medicines as well as the challenges shaping the industry. Following the growing demand of functional foods and herbal medicines, we found that similar bioactive compounds in functional foods and herbal medicines contribute to their health benefits. However, critical issues regarding the regulation of functional foods and herbal medicines to establish their safety and efficacy are still present.

Most FOMTs methylate flavonoids in a regiospecific manner. Because of the regiospecific nature of FOMTs, the synthesis of polymethoxyflavonoids is accomplished by multiple <i>O</i>-methylation steps. The multistep synthesis of dimethoxyflavonoids can be efficiently performed by a one-pot procedure using a multienzyme biocatalyst. For the one-pot production of dimethoxyflavonoids, fusion FOMTs were generated by the combination of two different regiospecific FOMTs. RdOMT10 (flavonoid 3-OMT), OsNOMT (flavonoid 7-OMT), and ObFOMT5 (flavonoid 4'-OMT) were used in the FOMT fusion. The fusion FOMTs (OsNOMT/ObFOMT5, OsNOMT/RdOMT10, and ObFOMT5/RdOMT10) were heterologously expressed in <i>Escherichia coli</i>. Activity assays of the recombinant fusion FOMTs demonstrated that OsNOMT/ObFOMT5, OsNOMT/RdOMT10, and ObFOMT5/RdOMT10 catalyze 7/4'-<i>O</i>-methylations, 7/3-<i>O</i>-methylations, and 4'/3-<i>O</i>-methylations of flavonoids, respectively. OsNOMT/ObFOMT5 and OsNOMT/RdOMT10 showed strong dimethylation activity towards diverse flavonoids and were therefore used in the site-selective bioconversion of flavonoids into dimethoxyflavonoids. The <i>E. coli</i> cells bearing OsNOMT/ObFOMT5 successfully converted flavonoids into 7,4'-dimethoxyflavonoids. The engineered <i>E. coli</i> expressing OsNOMT/RdOMT10 converted flavonoids into 3,7-dimethoxyflavonoids. This result indicates that the fusion FOMTs are useful multienzyme biocatalysts for the site-selective production of dimethoxyflavonoids by one-pot bioconversion.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":467,"journal":{"name":"Applied Biological Chemistry","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://applbiolchem.springeropen.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s13765-025-00983-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143370036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
