Therapeutic potential of Gynura procumbens in enhancing cytokine regulation in the cervix of rats induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene: In vivo and in silico investigations
Cytokine dysregulation plays a central role in DMBA-induced cervical inflammation with neoplastic potential. This study investigated the effects of Gynura procumbens (GB) on key cytokines—IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-18—using in vivo and in silico approaches. Female rats treated with DMBA received GB extract at 100, 200, or 300 mg/kg weight. GB at 300 mg/kg significantly suppressed IL-1β and IL-18 (p < 0.01) while restoring IL-10 to near-normal levels. IL-6 expression, reduced by DMBA, was upregulated following GB treatment. Histology revealed reduced epithelial damage and improved regeneration. In silico analysis showed that GB's active compounds, particularly nonanedioic and tetradecanoic acids, had higher binding affinity to IL-10 and IL-18 than cisplatin. Molecular dynamics simulations indicated enhanced protein stability, with RMSF values reduced in IL-18 (from 4.7 Å to ∼2.7 Å) and IL-10 (from 6.2 Å to ∼3.1 Å). These results support the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory potential of GB for cervical inflammation with neoplastic features.
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.
