Protective effects and potential mechanisms of Pyracantha fortuneana fruit extract on chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia revealed by transcriptomic analysis
Pyracantha fortuneana fruit is traditionally consumed as a dietary supplement in China known for its benefits in blood nourishment. Thrombocytopenia is often associated with blood deficiency. However, scientific studies on the platelet-enhancing activity of P. fortuneana fruit are lacking. This study investigates the protective effects of P. fortuneana fruit extract (PFE) against chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) and elucidates molecular mechanisms underlying its platelet-enhancing effects. Results showed that PFE, particularly its ethyl acetate fraction (PFEEA), significantly increased platelet counts by 48.7 %, reduced bleeding and clotting times, and decreased bleeding volume. PFEEA also mitigated organ injuries and lowered serum alanine transaminase levels. Transcriptomic analysis revealed upregulation of genes enriched in the hematopoietic cell lineage pathway by PFEEA, along with normalization of hematopoiesis-related cytokine levels and thrombopoietin mRNA expression in the liver. This study establishes PFE's potential against CIT and provides insights into its mechanisms, supporting its application as a functional food.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
