1. Protective effects of milk thistle (Sylibum marianum) seed oil and α-tocopherol against 7β-hydroxycholesterol-induced peroxisomal alterations in murine C2C12 myoblasts: Nutritional insights associated with the concept of pexotherapy
Imen Ghzaiel, Amira Zarrouk, Soukaina Essadek, et al. Steroids. 2022 Jul;183:109032. doi: 10.1016/j.steroids.2022.109032. Epub 2022 Apr 4.
Peroxisomes play an important role in regulating cell metabolism and RedOx homeostasis. Peroxisomal dysfunctions favor oxidative stress and cell death. The ability of 7β-hydroxycholesterol (7β-OHC; 50 μM, 24 h), known to be increased in patients with age-related diseases such as sarcopenia, to trigger oxidative stress, mitochondrial and peroxisomal dysfunction was studied in murine C2C12 myoblasts. The capacity of milk thistle seed oil (MTSO, 100 μg/mL) as well as α-tocopherol (400 µM; reference cytoprotective agent) to counteract the toxic effects of 7β-OHC, mainly at the peroxisomal level were evaluated. The impacts of 7β-OHC, in the presence or absence of MTSO or α-tocopherol, were studied with complementary methods: measurement of cell density and viability, quantification of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and transmembrane mitochondrial potential (ΔΨm), evaluation of peroxisomal mass as well as topographic, morphologic and functional peroxisomal changes. Our results indicate that 7β-OHC induces a loss of cell viability and a decrease of cell adhesion associated with ROS overproduction, alterations of mitochondrial ultrastructure, a drop of ΔΨm, and several peroxisomal modifications. In the presence of 7β-OHC, comparatively to untreated cells, important quantitative and qualitative peroxisomal modifications were also identified: a) a reduced number of peroxisomes with abnormal sizes and shapes, mainly localized in cytoplasmic vacuoles, were observed; b) the peroxisomal mass was decreased as indicated by lower protein and mRNA levels of the peroxisomal ABCD3 transporter; c) lower mRNA level of Pex5 involved in peroxisomal biogenesis as well as higher mRNA levels of Pex13 and Pex14, involved in peroxisomal biogenesis and/or pexophagy, was found; d) lower levels of ACOX1 and MFP2 enzymes, implicated in peroxisomal β-oxidation, were detected; e) higher levels of very-long-chain fatty acids, which are substrates of peroxisomal β-oxidation, were found. These different cytotoxic effects were strongly attenuated by MTSO, in the same range of order as with α-tocopherol. These findings underline the interest of MTSO and α-tocopherol in the prevention of peroxisomal damages (pexotherapy).
2. Natural Compound 3β,7β,25-trihydroxycucurbita-5,23(E)-dien-19-al from Momordica charantia Acts as PPARγ Ligand

Momordica charantia is a popular vegetable associated with effective complementary and alternative diabetes management in some parts of the world. However, the molecular mechanism is less commonly investigated. In this study, we investigated the association between a major cucurbitane triterpenoid isolated from M. charantia, 3β,7β,25-trihydroxycucurbita-5,23(E)-dien-19-al (THCB) and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) activation and its related activities using cell culture and molecular biology techniques. In this study, we report on both M. charantia fruit crude extract and THCB in driving the luciferase activity of Peroxisome Proliferator Response Element, associated with PPARγ activation. Other than that, THCB also induced adipocyte differentiation at far less intensity as compared to the full agonist rosiglitazone. In conjunction, THCB treatment on adipocytes also resulted in upregulation of PPAR gamma target genes expression; AP2, adiponectin, LPL and CD34 at a lower magnitude compared to rosiglitazone's induction. THCB also induced glucose uptake into muscle cells and the mechanism is via Glut4 translocation to the cell membrane. In conclusion, THCB acts as one of the many components in M. charantia to induce hypoglycaemic effect by acting as PPARγ ligand and inducing glucose uptake activity in the muscles by means of Glut4 translocation.
3. Cirrhosinones A-H, 24-hydroxy cevanine-type alkaloids from Fritillariacirrhosa
Huiwen Dong, Yunhu Zhang, Tse Wai Ming, Shuhui Wang, Jiawei Li, Shaobing Fu, Qingying Zhang, Kewu Zeng, Pengfei Tu, Hong Liang Phytochemistry. 2022 May;197:113129. doi: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2022.113129. Epub 2022 Feb 15.
Eight undescribed isosteroidal alkaloids cirrhosinones A-H (1-8), along with six known isosteroidal alkaloids (9-14), were isolated from the bulbs of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don. Their structures were determined by HRESIMS and 2D NMR analysis, and their absolute configurations were established by X-ray analysis. Compounds 1-8 possessed a typical cevanine-type alkaloid skeleton with a hydroxyl group rarely substituted at C-24 and compounds 4-8 possessed rare 7α or 7β-hydroxyl groups. This was the first report of both C-7 and C-24 hydroxyl groups substituted cevanine-type alkaloids. In addition, an approach for distinguishing D/E cis and trans conformations of cevanine-type alkaloids by 1H NMR data was developed. Moreover, the correlations between the relative configurations of 3-OH, 7-OH, 22-C, 24-OH, and 25-Me and the 1H NMR and 13C NMR data were also summarized. Compounds 1-9 exhibited moderate NO inhibitory activities in LPS-stimulated BV-2 cells at the concentration of 40 μM. The acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities of compounds 1-7 and 9-10 were also evaluated and none of them showed acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities at the concentrations of 20-80 μM.
