RESUMO

In this study, we first evaluated protective effects of Loliolus beka in a human liver cell line and zebrafish embryo model with its anti-oxidant activity. First, we prepared the water extract from L. beka meat (LBMW) at room temperature for 24 h and revealed it consisted of a rich taurine. LBMW exhibited the scavenging effects against 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as well as the high value of oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). Also, the hydroxyl radical-induced DNA damage was dose-dependently reduced by the treatment of LBMW. In addition, LBMW showed no cytotoxicity and reduced the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in H2O2-treated hepatocytes. Moreover, LBMW regulated the expression of an anti-apoptotic molecule, Bcl-2 and the expression of pro-apoptotic molecules, Bax and PARP in H2O2-treated hepatocytes as well as the increment of antioxidant mediated-HO-1 and Nrf2 protein expression. In further study, LBMW improved the survival rate and decreased the production of ROS in H2O2-treated zebrafish embryo model. Therefore, our results suggest that Loliolus beka has protective effects against H2O2-induced oxidative stress and may be used as a potential source for functional foods.

RESUMO

Octopus ocellatus, a marine cephalopod distributed in the coast of South Korea, China, Japan and tropical sea, contains high amounts of taurine. In this study, an enzymatic hydrolysate obtained from O. ocellatus meat was evaluated for its antioxidant effects using a human liver cell line and zebrafish embryo model. Enzymatic hydrolysates of the O. ocellatus meat (OOM) were prepared using six different enzymes. Among the enzymatic hydrolysates, Alcalase hydrolysate of OOM (OOMAH) showed the highest scavenging effects against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radicals and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Moreover, it showed a high oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). OOMAH treatment effectively reduced the hydroxyl radical-induced DNA damage. OOMAH reduced the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in H2O2-treated hepatocytes without cytotoxicity. Furthermore, OOMAH improved the survival rate and reduced the intracellular ROS levels in H2O2-treated zebrafish embryos. Compositional analysis of amino acids indicated a high content of taurine in OOMAH. Current results suggest that OOMAH possesses antioxidant bioactivities and could provide protective effects against H2O2-induced oxidative stress. Therefore, OOMAH might be used as a potential resource of functional foods.

RESUMO

Taurine, the plentiful amino acids in mammalian cells exerts various biological activities including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Inflammation can cause several diseases such as cancer, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis and immune system reactions. Here, we investigated anti-inflammatory effects of Galactose-Taurine sodium salt (Gal-Tau), a newly synthesized taurine derivate in LPS-stimulated zebrafish embryos in vivo model. The result showed that Gal-Tau improved the survival rate and the edema in LPS-treated zebrafish embryos. Also, Gal-Tau effectively reduced the productions of nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell death induced by LPS in zebrafish embryos. In addition, Gal-Tau regulated the expression levels of inflammatory mediators such as inducible NOS (iNOS) and cycloxygenase 2 (COX-2) as well as IL-6 and TNF-α, inflammatory cytokines known as important key mediators of inflammation. Taken together, this study first indicates that Gal-Tau could be considered as an effective anti-inflammatory material with its anti-inflammatory activity.

RESUMO

Here, the anti-inflammatory effect of Xylose-Taurine reduced (X-T-R), a taurine derivate was investigated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. X-T-R reduced the generations of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) induced by the stimulation of LPS in RAW 264.7 by suppressing the protein expression of iNOS and COX-2 known as inflammatory mediators. Also, X-R-T reduced the expression levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α). Moreover, X-T-R inhibited the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and the phosphorylation of inhibitor κB (IκB)-α. In conclusion, these results first indicate that X-T-R inhibits LPS-induced inflammation by regulating the NF-κB signal pathway in macrophages.

RESUMO

In this study, Xylose-Taurine reduced (X-T-R) was synthesized to enhance biological activities. Hence, we investigated the hepatoprotective effects of X-T-R against H2O2-induced hepatocyte damage and apoptosis. The results showed that X-T-R led to the cytoprotective effect against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in cultured hepatocytes such as the improvement of cell viability and the reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Additionally, pre-treatment with X-T-R increased the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), NAD(P)H dehydrogenase:quinone 1 (NQO1) and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) in cultured hepatocytes. Furthermore, X-T-R protected the cells against apoptosis via regulating the expression level of Bcl-2/Bax as well as the activation of caspase-3. According to the results obtained, X-T-R may be a bio-material for the therapy of hepatic diseases.

RESUMO

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is useful and convenient vertebrate models in various studies in human disease and drug discovery. In this present study, we first evaluated whether Xylose-Taurine reduced (X-T-R), a taurine derivate protects zebrafish embryos against oxidative stress caused by AAPH (2,2'-Azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride). First of all, we selected the concentration of X-T-R showing no toxicity in zebrafish embryos. We identified that X-T-R significantly increased the survival of zebrafish embryo reduced by treatment of AAPH. Also, X-T-R effectively inhibited the productions of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) as well as the formation of cell death in zebrafish embryos. Moreover, X-T-R down-regulated the expression levels of Bax, caspase-3, caspase-9 and p53 known as pro-apoptotic molecules, whereas up-regulated those of Bcl-2, an anti-apoptotic molecule in AAPH-treated zebrafish embryos. From these results, this study reveals that X-T-R, a taurine derivate might be a potential protector against various damages caused by oxidative stress.

RESUMO

Gamma ray irradiation causes immune suppressive responses by inducing oxidative stress such as reduction of cell viability and damages in immune cells. In this present study, we investigated whether Octopus ocellatus meet (OM) consisted of a plentiful taurine has protective effects against damages caused by oxidative stress in murine splenocytes. First of all, we prepared the aqueous extract from OM (OMA) and identified it contained a plentiful taurine content. The result also showed that OMA exhibited the antioxidant activity by scavenging DPPH and ABTS+ radicals and hydrogen peroxide. In addition, OMA improved the cell viability without cytotoxicity in gamma ray-irradiated murine splenocytes. Moreover, OMA significantly reduced the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in gamma ray-irradiated splenocytes. In further study, we identified that OMA protected zebrafish embryo via improving the reduced survival rate and decreasing the formation of deformity caused by the exposure of gamma ray irradiation. Also, OMA decreased the production of NO and ROS in gamma ray-irradiated zebrafish embryos as well as the induction of cell death. In these results, this study suggests that the consumption of taurine-rich foods, such as O. ocellatus, may be useful for the useful material for the protection against oxidative stress.

RESUMO

In this study, we synthesized Galactose-Taurine sodium salt (G-T) as a functional food ingredient to enhance biological activities of taurine. Also, anti-inflammatory effects of G-T were investigated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. G-T found to reduce the generations of the LPS-stimulated nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) via down-regulating the expression levels of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Also, G-T reduced the secretion of inflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-1ß, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) in LPS-treated RAW 264.7 cells. Finally, we identified that G-T inhibits the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and the phosphorylation of inhibitor κB (IκB)-α. From these results, this study first suggests that G-T could be considered as an effective anti-inflammatory agent.

RESUMO

The chitosan-caffeic acid (CCA) conjugate shows a hepatoprotective effect against oxidative stress-induced hepatic damage in cultured hepatocytes. The objective of this study is the verification of the hepatoprotective effect of the CCA in vivo against ethanol-induced liver injury in mice. The administration of ethanol resulted in the increase of the serum-aminotransferase activities (AST and ALT), triglycerides, total cholesterol, and lipid peroxidation. The CCA co-administration, however, significantly (p<0.05) ameliorated these serum biomarkers. The antioxidant-enzyme activities in the liver tissue, including those of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), were significantly decreased by a chronic ethanol administration, whereas the hepatic lipid-peroxidation level was increased. Moreover, the chronic ethanol administration elevated the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor-necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the liver tissue. The CCA co-administration, however, significantly (p<0.05) increased the activities of the SOD, CAT, and GPx and caused the down-regulation of the TNF-α- and IL-6-gene expressions in the liver tissue. An histopathologic evaluation also supported the hepatoprotective effect of the CCA against ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity in the mice.
