Resveratrol, a polyphenol found in grapes and peanuts, is known for diverse biological activities, yet its effects on dermal hyperpigmentation (so-called dark spots) remain unexplored. We investigated resveratrol's ability to enhance melanosomal degradation in human dermal fibroblasts. At concentrations of 25–50 μM, resveratrol increased autophagy as measured by microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3)-II/LC3-I ratio and enhanced lysosomal activity as assessed by a lysosomal activity reporter system. RNA sequencing revealed upregulation of lysosomal and autophagy-related genes, including cathepsins. Furthermore, reporter assays showed resveratrol's activation of antioxidant response via nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-mediated, leading to upregulation of transcription factor EB/transcription factor E3 (TFEB/TFE3), master regulators of lysosomal function. In fibroblasts pre-loaded with melanosomes, resveratrol reduced melanosome content compared to control by day 3. The findings reveal the activation of interconnected autophagy, lysosomal, and antioxidant pathways by resveratrol, suggesting potential applications in functional foods targeting dermal hyperpigmentation.

An elicitor, chitosan (CHT), induces stomatal closure in plants, which is accompanied by salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM)-sensitive peroxidases-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in guard cells. Reactive carbonyl species (RCS) function downstream of ROS in abscisic acid (ABA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) signalling in guard cells. However, the involvement of RCS in CHT-induced stomatal closure is still unknown. In this study, we used transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants overexpressing Arabidopsis thaliana 2-alkenal reductase (AER-OE tobacco) and Arabidopsis wild-type (WT) plants to investigate whether RCS is involved in CHT-induced stomatal closure. Chitosan-induced stomatal closure was inhibited in the tobacco AER-OE plants. In the WT tobacco and Arabidopsis plants, CHT-induced stomatal closure was inhibited by RCS scavengers, carnosine and pyridoxamine. Chitosan significantly increased RCS production in the WT tobacco and Arabidopsis, but in the tobacco AER-OE plants, chitosan did not increase significantly RCS accumulation. Moreover, neither the application of RCS scavengers to both WT plants nor scavenging RCS by AER-OE affected the CHT-induced ROS accumulation. However, treatment with a peroxidase inhibitor, SHAM, significantly inhibited CHT-induced RCS accumulation in WT tobacco and Arabidopsis plants. Taken together, these results suggest that RCS acts downstream of ROS production in CHT signalling in guard cells of A. thaliana and N. tabacum.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Heat treatment is the most common processing method in Apostichopus japonicus (A. japonicus) processing. However, improper heat treatment can lead to the degradation of protein. In an effort to mitigate this occurrence, we looked into how the protein in the body wall of A. japonicus (AJBWP) was affected by polyphenol oxidase (PPO)-mediated (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). The results showed that polyphenol oxidase-mediated EGCG induced protein aggregation. Meanwhile, the antioxidant and thermal stability of the protein were enhanced, and the digestive properties of the protein were inhibited. Protein structure studies have shown that polyphenol oxidase mediated EGCG changes the secondary and tertiary structure of proteins and can maintain the microstructure of proteins after heat treatment. In conclusion, polyphenol oxidase-mediated EGCG was a way to improve the thermal stability of body wall proteins and alleviate the thermal degradation of proteins in A. japonicus.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

This research endeavored to engineer robust delivery matrices for bioactives, specifically benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), by harnessing the synergistic covalent and non-covalent interactions between fish skin gelatin (FSG) and proanthocyanidins (PC) to synthesize novel composite emulsions. The objective was to delineate the influence of these molecular interactions on the emulsion's structural integrity and stability, which are pivotal for the efficacious encapsulation and controlled release of BITC. Employing a suite of analytical techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), fluorescence spectroscopy, and contact angle measurements, the study delineated the predominant molecular forces at play within the FSG-PC complex, identifying electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions as the cornerstones of this interaction. An assessment of the emulsions' physicochemical properties, encompassing chromaticity, antioxidant efficacy, microstructural attributes, particle dimensions, zeta potential, and BITC retention, was undertaken to discern the optimal encapsulation strategy. The data unequivocally indicated that emulsions enriched with 0.06 wt% PC, in non-covalent synergy with FSG, afforded the most pronounced stability and retention of BITC. This work paves the way for future studies and the translational application of FSG-PC composite emulsions in the realm of bioactive substance delivery, offering a promising avenue for innovation in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations.

GUARD CELL HYDROGEN PEROXIDE-RESISTANT1 (GHR1), a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase, is involved in abscisic acid (ABA)-induced stomatal closure. We investigated the role of GHR1 in reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling for ABA-induced stomatal closure. Abscisic acid induced ROS production in wild type (WT) and the ghr1 of Arabidopsis thaliana. Hydrogen peroxide induced stomatal closure, accompanying the generation of acrolein in guard cells. The reactive carbonyl species (RCS) scavengers inhibited the ABA- and H2O2-induced stomatal closure in WT. In the ghr1, H2O2 failed to induce acrolein production and stomatal closure while RCS induced stomatal closure. Thus, GHR1 functions downstream of ROS and is required for the generation of RCS in guard-cell ABA signaling. In the ghr1, Ca2+ induced stomatal closure but RCS did not activate ICa channels. The GHR1 may be also involved in a Ca2+-independent pathway for ABA-induced stomatal closure.

Recently, the increasing incidence of malignant melanoma has become a major public health concern owing to its poor prognosis and impact on quality of life. Consuming foods with potent antitumor compounds can help prevent melanoma and maintain skin health. Fucoxanthin (FX), a naturally occurring carotenoid found in brown algae, possesses antitumor properties. However, its bioavailability, safety risks, and in vivo effects and mechanisms against melanoma remain unclear. This research focused on evaluating the safety and prospective antimelanoma impact of simulated gastrointestinal digestion products (FX-ID) on HaCaT and A375 cells.The results indicate that FX-ID exerts negative effects on mitochondria in A375 cells, increases Bax expression, releases Cytochrome C, and activates cleaved caspase-3, ultimately promoting apoptosis. Additionally, FX-ID influences the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway by enhancing cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) levels, consequently facilitating apoptosis and inflammation without significantly impacting HaCaT cells. These findings provide insight into inhibitory mechanism of FX-ID against melanoma, guiding the development of functional foods for prevention.

Fucoxanthin (FX), a non-provitamin-A carotenoid, is a well-known major xanthophyll contained in edible brown algae. The nanoencapsulation of FX was motivated due to its multiple activities. Here, nano-encapsulated-FX (nano-FX) was prepared according to our early method by using whey protein and flaxseed gum as the biomacromolecule carrier material, then in vivo antitumor effect and mechanism of nano-FX on xenograft mice were investigated. Thirty 4-week-old male BALB/c nude mice were fed adaptively for 7 days to establish xenograft tumor model with Huh-7 cells. The tumor-bearing mice consumed nano-FX (50, 25, and 12.5 mg kg-1) and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX, 1 mg kg-1) or did not consume (Control) for 21 days, n = 6. The tumor inhibition rates of nano-FX were as high as 54.67 ± 1.04 %. Nano-FX intervention promoted apoptosis and induced hyperchromatic pyknosis and focal necrosis in tumor tissue by down-regulating the expression of p-JNK, p-ERK, PI3Kp85α, p-AKT, p-p38MAPK, Bcl-2, CyclinD1 and Ki-67, while up-regulating the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and Bax. Nano-FX inhibited tumor growth and protected liver function of tumor bearing mice in a dose-dependent manner, up-regulate the level of apoptosis-related proteins, inhibit the MAPK-PI3K/Akt pathways, and promote tumor cell apoptosis.

Plants often face high salinity as a significant environmental challenge with roots being the first responders to this stress. Maintaining K+/Na+ ratio within plant cells is crucial for survival, as the intracellular K+ level decreases and the intracellular Na+ level increases under saline conditions. However, knowledge about the molecular regulatory mechanisms of K+ loss in response to salt stress through outward-rectifying K+ channels in plants is largely unknown. In this study, we found that the Arabidopsis double mutant gorkskor, in which the GORK and SKOR genes are disrupted, showed an improved primary root growth under salt stress compared to wild-type (WT) and the gork and skor single-mutant plants. No significant differences in the sensitivity to mannitol stress between the WT and gorkskor mutant were observed. Accumulation of ROS induced by salt stress was reduced in the gorkskor roots. The gorkskor mutant seedlings had significantly higher K+ content, lower Na+ content, and a greater resultant K+/Na+ ratio than the WT under salt stress. Moreover, salt-stress-induced elevation of cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration was reduced in the gorkskor roots. Taken together, these results suggest that Arabidopsis Shaker-type outward-rectifying K+ channels GORK and SKOR may redundantly function in regulation of primary root growth under salt stress and are involved in not only the late-stage response (e.g. K+ leakage) but also the early response including ROS production and [Ca2+]cyt elevation.

Chitosan (CHT) is a deacylated derivative of chitin and improves growth and yield performance, activates defensive genes, and also induces stomatal closure in plants. Glutathione (GSH) has significant functions in the growth, development, defense systems, signaling, and gene expression. Glutathione negatively regulates abscisic acid (ABA)-, methyl jasmonate (MeJA)-, and salicylic acid (SA)-induced stomatal closure. However, the negative regulation by GSH of CHT-induced stomatal closure is still unknown. Regulation of CHT-induced stomatal closure by GSH in guard cells was investigated using two GSH-deficient mutants, cad2-1 and ch1-1, and a GSH-decreasing chemical, 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB). The cad2-1 and ch1-1 mutations and CDNB treatment enhanced CHT-induced stomatal closure. Treatment with glutathione monoethyl ester (GSHmee) restored the GSH level in the guard cells of cad2-1 and ch1-1 and complemented the stomatal phenotype of the mutants. These results indicate that GSH negatively regulates CHT-induced stomatal closure in A. thaliana.

Apostichopus japonicus (A. japonicus) has rich nutritional value and is an important economic crop. Due to its rich endogenous enzyme system, fresh A. japonicus is prone to autolysis during market circulation and storage, resulting in economic losses. In order to alleviate this phenomenon, we investigated the effect of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) mediated (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on the activity and structure of endogenous cathepsin series protein (CEP) from A. japonicus. Research on cathepsin activity showed that PPO mediated EGCG could significantly reduce enzyme activity, resulting in a decrease in enzymatic reaction rate. SDS-PAGE and scanning electron microscopy results showed that PPO mediates EGCG could induce CEP aggregation to form protein aggregates. Various spectral results indicated that EGCG caused changes in the structure of CEP. Meanwhile, the conjugates formed by PPO mediated EGCG had lower thermal stability. In conclusion, PPO mediated EGCG was an effective method to inhibit the endogenous enzyme activity.

The aim of this study is to investigate the modulating effect of coexisting food components on the absorption and metabolism of quercetin and blood plasma antioxidant potentials. The combination of quercetin with α-tocopherol (αT), cellulose, or a commercially-available vegetable beverage containing αT and dietary fiber was orally administered to mice. Compared to the single administration of quercetin aglycone, the co-administration of αT with quercetin significantly increased the plasma quercetin concentration at 0.5 h, whereas the combination of quercetin and cellulose decreased it. Interestingly, the administration of quercetin mixed with the vegetable beverage showed no significant change of the quercetin concentration in the mice plasma. The treatment of the cells with the blood plasma after the co-administration of αT with quercetin significantly upregulated the gene expression of the antioxidant enzyme (heme oxygenase-1), whereas the quercetin and cellulose combination did not. In the plasma of the quercetin-administered mice, eight types of quercetin metabolites were detected and their quantities were affected by the combination with αT. The potentials of the heme oxygenase-1 gene expression by these metabolites were very limited, although several metabolites showed radical scavenging activities comparable to aglycone in the in vitro assays. These results suggested that the combination of αT potentiates the quercetin absorption and metabolism and thus the plasma antioxidant potentials, at least in part, by the quantitative changes in the quercetin metabolites.

In atopic dermatitis (AD), nerves are abnormally stretched near the surface of the skin, making it sensitive to itching. Expression of neurotrophic factor Artemin (ARTN) involved in such nerve stretching is induced by the xenobiotic response (XRE) to air pollutants and UV radiation products. Therefore, AD can be monitored by the XRE response. Previously, we established a human keratinocyte cell line stably expressing a NanoLuc reporter gene downstream of XRE. We found that 6-formylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole (FICZ), a tryptophan metabolite and known inducer of the XRE, increased reporter and Artemin mRNA expression, indicating that FICZ-treated cells could be a model for AD. Lavender essential oil has been used in folk medicine to treat AD, but the scientific basis for its use is unclear. In the present study, we investigated the efficacy of lavender essential oil and its major components, linalyl acetate and linalool, to suppress AD and sensitize skin using the established AD model cell line, and keratinocyte and dendritic cell activation assays. Our results indicated that lavender essential oil from L. angustifolia and linalyl acetate exerted a strong AD inhibitory effect and almost no skin sensitization. Our model is useful in that it can circumvent the practice of using animal studies to evaluate AD medicines.

Our previous study reported that the marine dietary bioactive compound fucoxanthin (FX) has the potential to reduce the level of oxidation in retinal Müller cells (RMCs) induced by ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation. However, the gastrointestinal environment can inhibit the bioavailability and absorption of FX in the cell systems. In the current study, FX was initially digested in a simulated in vitro gastrointestinal fluid. Nine main digestive products were identified, and the photoprotective activities of FX simulated in vitro gastrointestinal digestion products (FX-ID) were assessed in the same RMC model. FX-ID significantly reduced intracellular ROS and alleviated apoptosis. Western blot assays showed that FX-ID inhibited phosphorylated proteins in the MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways. Our proteomics analysis revealed that the differentially expressed proteins were linked to biological networks associated with antioxidation and metabolic processes. The data may provide insight into the photoprotective mechanisms of FX-ID and promote the development of various functional foods to prevent retinal disorders.

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) occurs in wide-ranging organisms including plants and can undergo spontaneous conversion to methylglyoxal (MG). While the toxicity of MG to plants is well-known, the toxicity of DHA to plants remains to be elucidated. We investigated the effects of DHA and MG on Arabidopsis. Exogenous DHA at up to 10 m m did not affect the radicle emergence, the expansion of green cotyledons, the seedling growth, or the activity of glyoxalase II while DHA at 10 m m inhibited the root elongation and increased the activity of glyoxalase I. Exogenous MG at 1.0 m m inhibited these physiological responses and increased both activities. DHA at 10 m m increased the MG content in the roots. These results indicate that DHA is not so toxic as MG in Arabidopsis seeds and seedlings and suggest that the toxic effect of DHA at high concentrations is attributed to MG accumulation by the conversion to MG.

Since acetaldehyde is a toxic metabolite of ethanol, its accumulation causes several acute and chronic diseases related to the excessive intake of alcoholic beverages. Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) play an important role in the metabolism of not only exogenous aldehydes, but also endogenous ones including acetaldehyde. Among the ALDH family, ALDH2 mainly contributes to acetaldehyde elimination. This paper reviews the function of ALDH2 as well as auxiliary ALDHs in the ethanol metabolism. This paper also summarizes the regulation of the total ALDH activity by certain food chemicals, providing implication for their therapeutic potential against alcohol-related diseases.

To retard the protein degradation during sea cucumber processing, polyphenol extracts from Ascophyllum nodosum (PhE) was used as a potential antioxidant to maintain the structural integrity of sea cucumber body wall. Accordingly, the protection effects of PhE (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg PhE/g SFBW) against thermal degradation of the solid fragments of body wall (SFBW) have been investigated in order to evaluate their impact on the oxidation level and structural changes. Electronic Spin Resonance results showed that PhE could significantly inhibit the occurrence of oxidation by scavenging the free radicals. The effect of PhE on chemical analysis of soluble matters in SFBW was characterized by SDS-PAGE and HPLC. Compared with thermally treated SFBW, samples with PhE presented a decrease in protein dissolution. Thermal treatment resulted in the disintegration of collagen fibrils and fibril bundles in SFBW samples, while the density of collagen fibrils was increased, and the porosity decreased in samples with PhE. The results of FTIR and intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence confirmed that the structures of SFBW were modified by PhE. Besides, the denaturing temperature and decomposition temperature were both improved with the addition of PhE. These results suggested that PhE appeared to have a positive effect on lowering oxidation and improving thermostability and structural stability of SFBW, which could provide a theoretical basis for protecting sea cucumber body wall against degradation during thermal tenderization.
