Resveratrol ameliorates aging-related metabolic phenotypes by inhibiting cAMP phosphodiesterases.

Resveratrol, a polyphenol in red wine, has been reported as a calorie restriction mimetic with potential antiaging and antidiabetogenic properties. It is widely consumed as a nutritional supplement, but its mechanism of action remains a mystery. Here, we report that the metabolic effects of resveratrol result from competitive inhibition of cAMP-degrading phosphodiesterases, leading to elevated cAMP levels. The resulting activation of Epac1, a cAMP effector protein, increases intracellular Ca(2+) levels and activates the CamKKβ-AMPK pathway via phospholipase C and the ryanodine receptor Ca(2+)-

Resveratrol inhibits cardiac hypertrophy via AMP-activated protein kinase and Akt.

Whereas studies involving animal models of cardiovascular disease demonstrated that resveratrol is able to inhibit hypertrophic growth, the mechanisms involved have not been elucidated. Because studies in cells other than cardiomyocytes revealed that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and Akt are affected by resveratrol, we hypothesized that resveratrol prevents cardiac myocyte hypertrophy via these two kinase systems. Herein, we demonstrate that resveratrol reduces phenylephrine-induced protein synthesis and cell growth in rat cardiac myocytes via alterations of intracellular pathways involv

Resveratrol in human hepatoma HepG2 cells: metabolism and inducibility of detoxifying enzymes.

trans-Resveratrol is a polyphenol present in several plant species. Its chemopreventive properties against several diseases have been largely documented. To validate a model for the study of the factors influencing its biological fate at the hepatic level, the metabolism and the efflux of resveratrol were studied in the human hepatoblastoma cell line, HepG2. Comparative high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of cell culture media before and after deconjugation showed that resveratrol was rapidly conjugated; at the concentration of 10 microM, it was entirely metabolized at 8 h of incub

Resveratrol neuroprotective effects during focal cerebral ischemia injury via nitric oxide mechanism in rats.

BACKGROUND: Our prior study showed that resveratrol could suppress infarct volume and exert neuroprotective effect on rats subjected to focal cerebral ischemia (FCI) injury. Recently, it has been reported in some literature that resveratrol protects the spinal cord, kidney, and heart from ischemia-reperfusion injury through upregulation of nitric oxide (NO). Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the role of nitric oxide on the neuroprotective mechanisms of resveratrol on rats after FCI injury. METHODS: The FCI injury was induced by the middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion for 1

Forkhead proteins are critical for bone morphogenetic protein-2 regulation and anti-tumor activity of resveratrol.

Osteoporosis is a major public health problem and the most obvious preventive strategy, hormone replacement therapy, has lost favor due to recent findings of the Women's Health Initiative regarding increased risks of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. Resveratrol, a naturally occurring compound possessing estrogenic activity, is thought to have considerable potential for therapy of osteoporosis. In the present study, resveratrol was found to exhibit bone-protective effects equivalent to those exerted by hormone replacement therapy and decrease the risk of breast cancer in the in vivo an

Oxyresveratrol and/or Dapagliflozin Attenuate Doxorubicin-Induced Nephrotoxicity via Modulation of PPAR-γ/Nrf-2/HO-1, NF-κB/TNF-α/Keap-1, and Bcl-2/Caspase-3/ATG-5 signaling pathways in rats.

PURPOSE: Among the most undesirable effects that lead to the restriction of doxorubicin (DOX) use in chemotherapy is kidney damage. This research aimed to assess the possible defenses against DOX-induced nephrotoxicity offered by oxyresveratrol (ORES) and/or dapagliflozin (DAPA). METHODS: Five groups of eight male Swiss albino rats each were created from a total of sixty-four. One intravenous injection of DOX (10 mg/kg) was given into the tail vein on the fourteenth day of the experiment; in the meantime, ORES (80 mg/kg) and DAPA (10 mg/kg) were given orally 14 days prior to the DOX injection

Liver fibrosis and hepatic stellate cells: Etiology, pathological hallmarks and therapeutic targets.

Liver fibrosis is a reversible wound-healing process aimed at maintaining organ integrity, and presents as the critical pre-stage of liver cirrhosis, which will eventually progress to hepatocellular carcinoma in the absence of liver transplantation. Fibrosis generally results from chronic hepatic injury caused by various factors, mainly viral infection, schistosomiasis, and alcoholism; however, the exact pathological mechanisms are still unknown. Although numerous drugs have been shown to have antifibrotic activity in vitro and in animal models, none of these drugs have been shown to be effica

Iron-overload injury and cardiomyopathy in acquired and genetic models is attenuated by resveratrol therapy.

Iron-overload cardiomyopathy is a prevalent cause of heart failure on a world-wide basis and is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with secondary iron-overload and genetic hemochromatosis. We investigated the therapeutic effects of resveratrol in acquired and genetic models of iron-overload cardiomyopathy. Murine iron-overload models showed cardiac iron-overload, increased oxidative stress, altered Ca(2+) homeostasis and myocardial fibrosis resulting in heart disease. Iron-overload increased nuclear and acetylated levels of FOXO1 with corresponding inverse changes in SIRT1 le

Comparison of different methods for preparation of a stable riccardin D formulation via nano-technology.

Riccardin D is a new compound extracted from liverwort Marchantia polymorpha L. It has been proved to be useful in antifungal therapy and reversing the resistance of Candida albicans against fluconazole. However, the poor solubility leads to the poor bioavailability and limits its development. In this study, nanocrystals were prepared in the evaporative precipitation into aqueous solution (EPAS) and the microfluidisation process. The characterizations of nanocrystals were compared by transmission electron microscope, size distribution, and zeta potential. In the EPAS method, the drug was disso

Resveratrol causes Cdc2-tyr15 phosphorylation via ATM/ATR-Chk1/2-Cdc25C pathway as a central mechanism for S phase arrest in human ovarian carcinoma Ovcar-3 cells.

Resveratrol is one of the most extensively studied cancer chemopreventive agents; however, its mechanisms of action are not completely understood. Here, we observed that resveratrol induces S phase arrest via Tyr15 phosphorylation of Cdc2 in human ovarian carcinoma Ovcar-3 cells. Overexpression of Cdc2AF, a mutant resistant to Thr14 and Tyr15 phosphorylation, ablated resveratrol-induced S phase arrest. Further upstream, we observed that resveratrol causes phosphorylation of cell division cycle 25C (Cdc25C) tyrosine phosphatase via the activation of checkpoint kinases Chk1 and Chk2, which in tu

Resveratrol inhibits TCDD-induced expression of CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 and catechol estrogen-mediated oxidative DNA damage in cultured human mammary epithelial cells.

Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene), a naturally occurring phytoalexin present in grapes and other foods, has been reported to possess chemopreventive effects as revealed by its striking inhibition of diverse cellular events associated with tumor initiation, promotion and progression. In our present study, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), when treated with the cultured human mammary epithelial (MCF-10A) cells, induced the expression of cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) and 1B1 (CYP1B1) that are responsible for the oxidation of 17beta-estradiol to produce catechol estrogens. Resveratr

Узкие полифенолы в питании свиноматок: обновление.

Окисляющий стресс является потенциально критическим фактором, влияющим на производительность гектарирующих и кормящих свиней. Полифенолы представляют собой большой класс вторичных метаболитов растений, обладающих мощными антиоксидантами. Все полифенолы структурно характеризуются ароматическими кольцами с множеством гидроксилов водорода; они делают полифенолы идеальными атомами водорода и электронными донорами для нейтрализации свободных радикалов и других реактивных видов кислорода. В течение последнего десятилетия все большее внимание уделялось полифенолам в качестве функциональных кормовых д

… Stilbene is another type of non-flavonoid, which is characterized by a double bond joining phenolic rings ( Losada-Barreiro and Bravo-Díaz, 2017 ). The existing forms of stilbenes are stereoisomers, and the vast majority of naturally occurring stilbenes exist in the trans form. … As a typical representative stilbene, resveratrol possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials ( Lee et al., 2018 ; Banez et al., 2020 ). …

Resveratrol attenuates the release of inflammatory cytokines from human bronchial smooth muscle cells exposed to lipoteichoic acid in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

During bacterial infections, pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) induce cytokine/chemokine release in immunoactive cells. This increases corticosteroid-resistant airway inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and leads to exacerbations. Anti-inflammatory therapies other than corticosteroids are required and resveratrol is currently under discussion. Resveratrol is an activator of sirtuins, which are class III histone deacetylases (HDACs). We suggested that human airway smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) release COPD-associated cytokines/chemokines in response to lipot

Protective effects of polydatin from Polygonum cuspidatum against carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury in mice.

Polydatin is one of main compounds in Polygonum cuspidatum, a plant with both medicinal and nutritional value. The possible hepatoprotective effects of polydatin on acute liver injury mice induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) and the mechanisms involved were investigated. Intraperitoneal injection of CCl(4) (50 µl/kg) resulted in a significant increase in the levels of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA), also a marked enhancement in the expression of hepatic tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)

Resveratrol impairs the release of steroid-resistant inflammatory cytokines from human airway smooth muscle cells in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) therapy is complicated by corticosteroid resistance of the interleukin 8 (IL-8)-dependent and granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-dependent chronic airway inflammation, for whose establishment human airway smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) might be crucial. It is unclear whether the release of inflammatory mediators from HASMCs is modulated by cigarette smoking and is refractory to corticosteroids in COPD. Resveratrol, an antiaging drug with protective effects against lung cancer, might be an alternative to corticosteroids in COPD t

Resveratrol suppresses oxidative stress and inflammatory response in diethylnitrosamine-initiated rat hepatocarcinogenesis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the most frequent and deadliest cancers, has been increasing considerably in the United States. In the absence of a proven effective therapy for HCC, novel chemopreventive strategies are urgently needed to lower the current morbidity and mortality of HCC. Recently, we have reported that resveratrol, a compound present in grapes and red wine, significantly prevents diethylnitrosamine (DENA)-induced liver tumorigenesis in rats, although the mechanism of action is not completely understood. In the present study, we have examined the underlying mechanisms of

SIRT1 negatively regulates HDAC1-dependent transcriptional repression by the RBP1 family of proteins.

Both RBP1 and the highly related protein BCAA play a role in the induction of growth arrest and cellular senescence via mechanisms involving transcriptional repression. While investigating the transcriptional repression activities of RBP1, we observed a genetic link between RBP1 and SIR2. Further work uncovered an interaction between RBP1 family proteins and the mammalian homologue of SIR2, SIRT1. Interestingly, the HDAC-dependent transcriptional repression domain of RBP1 proteins, termed R2, is necessary and sufficient for the interaction with SIRT1. In vitro and in vivo binding studies indic

AMPK Contributes to Cardioprotective Effects of Pterostilbene Against Myocardial Ischemia- Reperfusion Injury in Diabetic Rats by Suppressing Cardiac Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Pterostilbene (PT) exerts antidiabetic effects by decreasing blood glucose and modulating lipid metabolism and has been shown to attenuate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in non-diabetic subjects. However, whether PT can protect against myocardial IR injury in diabetes is unknown. AMPK stimulation is indispensable in offering cardioprotection against myocardial IR injury in diabetes by limiting cardiac apoptosis. Thus, we hypothesized that PT may confer protection against myocardial IR injury in diabetes via AMPK activation. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats at eight w

Resveratrol-loaded nanoparticles conjugated with kidney injury molecule-1 as a drug delivery system for potential use in chronic kidney disease.

AIM: We used resveratrol (Res)-loaded nanoparticles (Res NPs) as a novel method for improving the pharmacokinetic properties of Res and analyzed the effect of Res NPs in chronic kidney disease (CKD). MATERIALS & METHODS: We coupled anti-kidney injury molecule-1 antibodies to Res NPs and analyzed safety and efficacy. RESULTS: Res NPs had low toxicity and induced autophagy. Res NPs inhibited the NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β secretion. Higher NLRP3 expression levels were observed in peripheral blood monocytic cells of CKD patients than healthy individuals. Treatment with kidney injury molecule-

Resveratrol-induced antinociception is involved in calcium channels and calcium/caffeine-sensitive pools.

Resveratrol has been widely investigated for its potential health properties, although little is known about its mechanism in vivo. Previous studies have indicated that resveratrol produces antinociceptive effects in mice. Calcium channels and calcium/caffeine-sensitive pools are reported to be associated with analgesic effect. The present study was to explore the involvement of Ca2+ channel and calcium/caffeine-sensitive pools in the antinociceptive response of resveratrol. Tail-flick test was used to assess antinociception in mice treated with resveratrol or the combinations of resveratrol w
