RESUMEN
Polysaccharide is one of the functional components of the raspberry, which has various pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-fatigue, hypoglycemic and immunomodulatory. However, whether raspberry polysaccharides have protective effects on UV-induced photodamage to skin cells has not been reported. This study aims to investigate the protective effect of Raspberry Crude Polysaccharide on Ultraviolet B (UVB) -induced photodamage of human immortalized keratinocytes (H a C a T). The photodamage model of HaCaT cells was established by UVB irradiation. To evaluate the anti-UVB activity of R C P, the cell viability was determined by the CCK-8 method, and the Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and microplate method were used to measure the contents of matrix metalloproteinase, inflammatory and antioxidant factors in the photodamaged HaCaT cells. The antioxidant activity of RCP was detected by radical scavenging assays against D P P H radical (D P P H •) and ABTS radical (ABTS •
RESUMEN
Raspberry ketones have important therapeutic properties such as anti-influenza and prevention of diabetes. In order to obtain raspberry ketone from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, two enzymes catalyzing the last two steps of raspberry ketone synthesis, i.e. 4-coumaryl-CoA ligase (4CL) and polyketide synthase (PKS1), were fused using a glycine-serine-glycine (GSG) tripeptide linker to construct an expression vector pChla-4CL-PKS1. The fusion gene 4CL-PKS1 driven by a PSAD promoter was transformed into a wild-type (CC125) and a cell wall-deficient C. reinhardtii (CC425) by electroporation. The results showed the recombinant C. reinhardtii strain CC125 and CC425 with 4CL-PKS1 produced raspberry ketone at a level of 6.7 μg/g (fresh weight) and 5.9 μg/g (fresh weight), respectively, both were higher than that of the native raspberry ketone producing plants (2-4 μg/g).

BACKGROUND: A key challenge for manufacturers of pro-health food containing active probiotic microorganisms is to develop a product with attractive sensory features along with maintenance of declared number of microorganisms during storage and transfer by alimentary tract. RESULTS: The highest concentration of polyphenols was observed in snacks without an additive of probiotics as well as those with an additive of L. rhamnosus and B. animalis bacteria and concentration of these compounds increased by 9.5% during six months of storage. None of the products distinguished itself in the sensorial assessment although each was assessed positively. The number of microorganisms was stable and comparatively high during six months of storage at a room temperature and in cooling conditions (108 cfu/g). In the digestion model, an influence of aggressive digestion conditions was examined in the alimentary tract on the number of microorganisms, which allowed to arrange strains from the most resistant (S. boulardii) to the most sensitive (B. breve). It must be noted that currently on the market there is no available snack containing probiotic yeast as well as there is no literature data on works on such formulation of food. CONCLUSIONS: In the newly developed snack made of chocolate, in which sugar has been replaced with maltitol, a raw material was added in the form of raspberry, prebiotic in the form of inulin and a strain of probiotic bacteria, including the unprecedented so far S. boulardii, which stands a high chance to occupy a good place on the market of functional food.

Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanisms of the anti-obese effect of raspberry ketone against high-fat diet fed rats. Methods: Fifty adult male rats were randomly assigned to receive a standard diet, a high fat diet, and the high-fat diet and 0.5%, 1%or 2% raspberry ketone. Body weight, biochemical parameters and gene expression of CCAAT enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP)-δ, fatty acid synthase (FAS), acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α), hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and hepatic carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 A (CPT1A) were investigated. Results: Body weight, blood glucose, insulin, total lipids, triacylglycerols, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were increased in high-fat diet fed rats. These high fat diet-induced changes were attenuated by treatment with raspberry ketone. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol was decreased in high-fat diet fed rats but increased in rats treated with raspberry ketone. Molecular investigations showed induction of gene expression of C/EBP-δ, FAS, ACC, CPT1A and inhibition of gene expression of PPAR-α and HSL in high-fat diet fed rats as compared with control. Raspberry ketone treament reversed these changes except CPT1A. Conclusions: Raspberry ketone can prevent obesity induced by a high-fat diet in rats by induction of the expression of enzymes, controlling lipolysis and fatty acids β oxidation as well as inhibition of gene expressions of adipogenic factors.

Background: As an addictive substance, nicotine has been recognized as a risk factor to induce oxidative tissue damage, which is a main risk factor for development of lung-related diseases. Red raspberries (Rubus idaeus L.) have been used for the treatment of several tissue damage for decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation. For this purpose, authors aimed to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of raspberry on nicotine-induced lung damage in rats.Methods: 32 male Sprague–Dawley rats included in present study. The rats were divided into the following four groups, with eight rats in each group: control, raspberry 100 mg/kg, nicotine 5 mg/kg, nicotine + raspberry 100 mg/kg treated (concomitant nicotine and raspberry extract) groups. The assessment of lung structure was made on light and stereo investigator microscope, immunohistochemical analysis was performed by determining anti-Caspase-3 immunostaining.Results: The lung of the nicotine applied group exhibited emphysematous air spaces, massive congestion areas, disrupted alveoli, thickened septa and inflammatory cell infiltration. Much improvement was observed in the raspberry-treated group despite the presence of mild residual changes. Moreover, loss of massive congestion areas and decreased Caspase-3 level were detected in the raspberry-treated group.Conclusions: Our results indicate that the raspberry extract attenuate the pathological changes of nicotine in the lung rats through antioxidative and anti- inflammatory mechanisms.

RESUMEN
In this experiment,the antioxidant capacity of raspberry extract and the protective effect on liver injury induced by ConA in mice were investigated. Balb/C male mice were randomly divided into six groups: normal group,model group,bicyclol control group( 200 mg·kg~(-1)),low-dose raspberry extract group( 200 mg·kg~(-1)),middle-dose raspberry extract group( 400 mg·kg~(-1)),and highdose raspberry extract group( 800 mg·kg~(-1)). Each group was intragastrically administered with drugs according to the body weight once a day. Seven days later,all of the groups except for the normal group were treated with ConA( 20 mg·kg~(-1)) through tail vein injection to establish the acute liver injury model. The mice were put to death 8 hours later. The organ indexes were calculated. These rum levels of ALT,AST and LDH and the activities of SOD,CAT,GSH and MDA in liver tissue were detected. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of liver tissue in mice. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of Bax,Bcl-2,Nrf2 and Keap-1. The antioxidant capacity of raspberry extract was measured by CAA assay. The results showed that,raspberry extract had a strong antioxidant capacity. Simultaneously,compared with the model group,raspberry extract can significantly improve the pathological conditions of liver,and significantly reduce ALT,AST and LDH activities in serum of liver injury mice( P<0. 01). The activities of SOD,CAT in liver homogenate supernatant were significantly increased in the high-dose group,the content of GSH increased,while the content of MDA was sharply declined in the high-dose group( P<0. 01). Meanwhile,raspberry extract down-regulated the expressions of Bax and Keap-1 and up-regulated the expressions of Bcl-2 and Nrf2. CAA showed that the compound raspberry extract had a strong antioxidant capacity. Therefore,raspberry extract has an obvious protective effect on acute liver injury induced by ConA in mice.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) has led to an intense interest in developing its inhibitors as anti-diabetes, anti-obesity and anti-cancer agents. The fruits of Rubus chingii (Chinese raspberry) were used as a kind of dietary traditional Chinese medicine. The methanolic extract of R. chingii fruits exhibited significant PTP1B inhibitory activity. Further bioactivity-guided fractionation resulted in the isolation of three PTP1B inhibitory ursane-type triterpenes: ursolic acid (1), 2-oxopomolic acid (2), and 2α, 19α-dihydroxy-3-oxo-urs-12-en-28-oic acid (3). Kinetics analyses revealed that 1 was a non-competitive PTP1B inhibitor, and 2 and 3 were mixed type PTP1B inhibitors. Compounds 1-3 and structurally related triterpenes (4-8) were further analyzed the structure-activity relationship, and were evaluated the inhibitory selectivity against four homologous protein tyrosine phosphatases (TCPTP, VHR, SHP-1 and SHP-2). Molecular docking simulations were also carried out, and the result indicated that 1, 3-acetoxy-urs-12-ene-28-oic acid (5), and pomolic acid-3β-acetate (6) bound at the allosteric site including α3, α6, and α7 helix of PTP1B.

Objective To investigate the role of miR-338-5p/SIRT1-related signaling pathway in the treatment of colorectal cancer by the chemopreventive effects of black raspberry (BRB) anthocyanins. Methods Mice were divided into normal healthy control group, AOM/DSS-induced colorectal cancer groups with or without BRB anthocyanin. miRNA microarray was used to investigate differentially expressed miRNAs and RT-qPCR was applied to verify the expression of selected miR-338-5p/SIRT1 in colon tissue of mice and human colorectal cancer cell lines of Caco-2, LoVo, HCT-116, HT29, and SW480. TargetScan and miRanda bioinformatics software was used to predict the targeted regulation relationships between miR-338-5p and SIRT1. The expression of SIRT1 protein in colon tissue of mice and downstream signaling pathway-related proteins were determined by Western blotting. Results miRNA microarray differential analysis demonstrated that the expression of miR-338-5p was significantly reduced in colon tissues of AOM/DSS induced mice fed with BRB anthocyanin. While after 9 weeks administration of BRB anthocyanins, the level of miR- 338-5p in AOM/DSS induced mice was decreased. The expression pattern of miR-338-5p was confirmed in the colon tissue and several colon cancer cell lines. Meanwhile, colorectal cancer cells were treated with BRB anthocyanin, miR-338-5p expression was reduced. TargetScan and miRanda predicted that the SIRT1 was one of target genes of miR-338-5p. BRB anthocyanins could promote the expression of SIRT1 protein in intestinal epithelial cells and regulate the protein levels of downstream moleculars including mTOR et al. Conclusion miR-338-5p/SIRT1-related signaling pathway might involve in the chemoprevention effects of BRB anthocyanin on colorectal cancer, which provided a new strategy for chemoprevention of colorectal cancer.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) has been known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects and for improving vascular endothelial function in patients at high-risk for cardiovascular disease. We investigated short-term effects of black raspberry on lipid profiles, vascular endothelial function and circulating endothelial progenitor cells in statin naïve participants with metabolic syndrome. METHODS: Patients with metabolic syndrome (n=51) without lipid lowering medications were prospectively randomized into the black raspberry group (n=26, 750 mg/day) and placebo group (n=25) during the 12-week follow-up. Lipid profiles, brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (baFMD) and inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, TNF-α, C-reactive protein, adiponectin, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1 were measured at baseline and at 12-week follow-up. Central blood pressure and augmentation index were also measured at baseline and at 12-week follow-up. RESULTS: Decreases from baseline in total cholesterol levels (-22.7±34.3 mg/dL vs. 0.0±34.7mg/dL, p<0.05, respectively) and total cholesterol/HDL ratio (-0.34±0.68 vs. 0.17±0.56, p<0.05, respectively) were significantly greater in the black raspberry group when compared to the placebo group. Decreases from baseline in IL-6 (-0.5±1.4 pg/mL vs. -0.1±1.1 pg/mL, p<0.05, respectively) and TNF-α levels (-5.4±4.5 pg/mL vs. -0.8±4.0 pg/mL, p<0.05, respectively) were significantly greater in the black raspberry group. Increases from the baseline in adiponectin levels (2.9±2.1 µg/mL vs. -0.2±2.5 µg/mL, p<.05) were significant in the black raspberry group. Increases in baFMD at 12-week follow-up were significantly greater in the black raspberry group when compared to the placebo group (2.9±3.6 mm vs. 1.0±3.9 mm, p<0.05, respectively). Radial augmentation indexes were significantly decreased in the black raspberry group when compared to the placebo group (-2±10% vs. 4±13%, p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The use of black raspberry significantly decreased serum total cholesterol levels, inflammatory cytokines, and augmentation index, thereby improving vascular endothelial function in statin naïve participants with metabolic syndrome during the 12-week follow-up.

The fruit of the black raspberry (Rubus coreanus Miquel) has been employed in traditional medicine, and recent studies have demonstrated its measureable biological activities. However, the root of the black raspberry has not been studied. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties of the root and unripe fruit polyphenols of the black raspberry. Both polyphenols proved to have anti-inflammatory activity as evidenced by the decreased nitric oxide (NO), cytokines (IL-1beta , IL-6, and IL-10) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 murine macrophages. However, root polyphenols showed stronger anti-inflammatory activity than fruit polyphenols. LPS-induced mRNA and protein expressions of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 levels were also decreased, confirming the anti-inflammatory activity. Root polyphenols showed lethal activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), and Bacillus anthracis. In contrast, the black raspberry fruit did not demonstrate these properties. These data provide the first demonstration that black raspberry root has potential anti-inflammatory and anti-superbacterial properties that can be exploited as alternatives for use in the food and cosmetic industries and/or as pharmaceuticals.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the hypoglycemic effect of raspberry ketone and its mechanism on diabetic model mice induced by alloxan. METHODS: Healthy male KM mice were used to establish diabetic models by injecting alloxan via tail vein, and then randomly divided into model control group, metformin group (90 mg · kg-1), and raspberry ketone low, middle and high (200, 400, 800 mg · kg-1) dose groups. Normal control group was set. All groups had been treated for 20 d. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) was measured on 0, 7 and 14 d. After 20 d, glucose tolerance test was carried out. Fast insulin (FINS) of the mice were measured, and the insulin sensitivity index(ISI) was calculated by determining the contents of FBG and FINS. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and malonaldehyde (MDA) in serum were measured. Pathological changes of pancreas and insulin expression were examined. RESULTS: Raspberry ketone could effectively control the increase of fasting plasma glucose (P < 0.05) and reduce the role of the area under the glucose curve. Compared with the model group, the levels of FINS, SOD and GSH-Px activity were significantly improved (P < 0.05), and MDA content was decreased (P < 0.05) in the high dose raspberry ketone group. The pathological symptoms of pancreas were relieved in the high dose group. CONCLUSION: Raspberry ketone can effectively control blood glucose, protect pancreatic islet β cells, and improve insulin secretion in diabetic mice by effectively inhibiting the oxidative stress.
RESUMEN
To investigate the scientific grounds for the effect of raspberry ketone bathing that is claimed to increase energy consumption by stimulating metabolism, a bathing experiment was conducted in 10 normal healthy adults.<br>As a result, no appreciable difference was detected among tap water, CO<sub>2</sub>-enriched water and raspberry water in respect to blood pressure, pulse rate and depth thermometer readings, which suggested that bathing in warm raspberry water was safe, producing no marked load on the cardiovascular system. Changes in the skin surface temperature indicated slow elevation of body temperature, from which bathing in warm raspberry water was considered to produce no marked load on the body even if bathing lasted relatively long as compared with bathing in warm tap water or CO<sub>2</sub>-enriched warm water. From the skin tissue blood flow data, it seemed likely that the increase in blood flow caused by bathing in warm raspberry water was produced, not by vasodilatation as in CO<sub>2</sub>-enriched warm water bathing, but by such mechanisms as acceleration of metabolism. Data on insulin suggested that bathing in warm raspberry water affected the carbohydrate metabolism as compared with that in warm tap water or CO<sub>2</sub>-enriched warm water. Since there was no difference among warm water groups in changes in the adrenocortical hormone “cortisol”, raspberry ketone bathing was considered not to have specific activity. Data on NK cell activity showed that bathing in warm raspberry water produced no appreciable effect on the immune system. It was suggested that measurement of β-endorphin should be performed after adjustment of psychological environments.<br>The results of expiration air analysis also indicated that, while bathing in CO<sub>2</sub>-enriched warm water was related to changes in the cardiovascular system, bathing in warm raspberry ketone water produced no appreciable load on the cardiovascular system but consumed energy through acceleration of metabolic activities.
