RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Acanthopanax senticosus (AS) is a medicinal and food plant with many physiological functions, especially nerve protection. Its extract has many functional components, including polysaccharides, flavonoids, saponins, and amino acids. Our previous study indicated that AS extract protected against nerve damage caused by radiation. However, little is known about the gut-brain axis mechanism of AS and its impact on radiation-induced learning and memory impairment. METHOD: In 60 Co-γ ray-irradiated mice, we investigated the changes in behavior, neurotransmitters and gut microbiota after different days of administration of AS extract as a dietary supplement. RESULTS: The AS extract improved learning and memory ability in mice, and the neurotransmitter levels in the hippocampus and colon started to change from the 7th day, which accompanied changes of the gut microbiota, a decreased abundance of Helicobacter on the 7th day and an increased abundance of Lactobacillus on the 28th day. Among the marker bacteria, Ruminococcus and Clostridiales were associated with 5-HT synthesis, and Streptococcus were associated with 5-HT and ACH synthesis. In addition, the AS extract increased the tight junction protein, inhibited inflammation levels in colon, and even increased the relative protein expression of BDNF and NF-κB and decreased the relative protein expression of IκBα in the hippocampus of irradiated mice. CONCLUSION: These results will lay the foundation for further study on the mechanism of the gut-brain axis of AS in preventing radiation-induced learning and memory impairment.

RESUMEN

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most important complication in patients with diabetes. The accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) is the main reason for the development of DN. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of buckwheat hull flavonoids to break AGEs in vitro by measuring fluorescence analysis, three-dimensional fluorescence, protein molecular weight, free amino groups, and the sulfhydryl group content. Proteomics analysis was used to determine the effect of total buckwheat hull flavonoids (TBHF) intervention on protein differential expression in the kidney of db/db mice. The results showed that buckwheat hull flavonoids were potent in breaking AGEs in vitro, and they protected mice kidneys by regulating the renal AGE-RAGE pathway. This study lays a strong experimental and theoretical foundation for the development of new lysing agents to break AGEs. The findings should make an important contribution to the field of flavonoids in improving the application of diabetic nephropathy in the diet.
