Fucoidan-Derived Functional Oligosaccharides: Recent Developments, Preparation, and Potential Applications

Min Wang et al.

Summary: Oligosaccharides derived from natural resources, particularly fucoidan, have gained attention for their beneficial health effects and potential applications in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Partial hydrolysis of fucoidan into fuco-oligosaccharides (FOSs) or low-molecular weight fucoidan has attracted interest due to their improved solubility and biological activities. This review discusses various methods for preparing FOSs from fucoidan and summarizes their potential health benefits and mechanisms for disease prevention or treatment.

Transforming growth factor-β signaling: From tissue fibrosis to therapeutic opportunities

Li-Li Ren et al.

Summary: Fibrosis is the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix components in the processes of tissue repair, causing organ structural integrity and functional impairment. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a key factor in promoting fibrosis by activating profibrotic signals. This review discusses the role of TGF-beta signaling in fibrotic organs, as well as potential therapeutic options for targeting tissue fibrosis through modulating TGF-beta signaling.

Impact of hyperuricemia on chronic kidney disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

Hitoshi Nishizawa et al.

Summary: Hyperuricemia is caused by a combination of reduced excretion and overproduction of uric acid, with potential complications including gout, hypertension, CKD, and CVD. Mechanisms such as inflammasome activation and oxidative stress are proposed to contribute to renal damage and atherosclerosis in hyperuricemia, highlighting the need for further research on purine metabolism and treatment strategies.

The potential of probiotics in the amelioration of hyperuricemia

Hongyuan Zhao et al.

Summary: Hyperuricemia is a common disease caused by metabolic disorders or excessive intake of high-purine foods. Probiotics have the potential to ameliorate hyperuricemia through pathways such as decreasing uric acid production and enhancing uric acid excretion. In addition, probiotics can alleviate inflammation and oxidative stress, restore damaged intestinal barriers, and enhance the immune system to resist the effects of hyperuricemia.

Fucoidan from Sargassum hemiphyllum inhibits infection and inflammation of Helicobacter pylori

Bo-Rui Chen et al.

Summary: The fucoidan from Sargassum hemiphyllum has been found to significantly reduce H. pylori infection without developing drug resistance. Fucoidan acts as a strong anti-inflammatory agent and inhibits the adhesion of H. pylori to host cells, thereby reducing the infection rate.

Intrarenal 1-methoxypyrene, an aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist, mediates progressive tubulointerstitial fibrosis in mice

Gang Cao et al.

Summary: This study found that the metabolite 1-methoxypyrene (MP) activates the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signaling pathway, leading to tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF). MP promotes the epithelial-mesenchymal transition and macrophage-myofibroblast transition, which are important for the development of TIF.

Propolis Ameliorates Alcohol-Induced Depressive Symptoms in C57BL/6J Mice by Regulating Intestinal Mucosal Barrier Function and Inflammatory Reaction

Peng Wang et al.

Summary: Evidence suggests that propolis has neuroprotective properties and can regulate intestinal bacteria flora, potentially affecting both ends of the brain gut axis. However, there is currently no clear evidence on the effects of propolis on alcohol-induced depression. This study establishes a model of alcoholic depression in mice and shows that propolis treatment can protect against alcohol-induced depressive symptoms and nerve cell injury, restore levels of BDNF and dopamine, repair intestinal leakage, increase the expression levels of tight junction proteins, and reduce pro-inflammatory markers.

Fucoidan Alleviates Renal Fibrosis in Diabetic Kidney Disease via Inhibition of NLRP3 Inflammasome-Mediated Podocyte Pyroptosis

Mei-Zi Wang et al.

Summary: The study confirmed that FPS, similar to RAP, can alleviate RF in DKD by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated podocyte pyroptosis, regulating the AMPK/mTORC1/NLRP3 signaling axis. These findings provide an in-depth understanding of the pathogenesis of RF, aiding in identifying precise targets for DKD treatment.

Hypouricemia and Urate Transporters

Naoyuki Otani et al.

Summary: Hypouricemia, a rare disorder, is divided into overexcretion and underproduction types. Renal hypouricemia, the latter type, is the most common in Japan and can increase the risk of exercise-induced acute kidney injury and urolithiasis. It is crucial to conduct research on renal hypouricemia to gain insight into its pathophysiology and develop new treatments for gout and hyperuricemia.

Summary: The study showed that a unique low molecular weight fucoidan obtained from Laminaria japonica has anti-pulmonary fibrosis and anti-epithelial-mesenchymal transition bioactivity. LMWF can protect the lung from fibrosis by weakening the processes of inflammation and EMT, making it a promising therapeutic option for the treatment of PF.

Role of intracellular complement activation in kidney fibrosis

Didier Portilla et al.

Summary: Increased expression of complement C1r, C1s and C3 in kidney cells plays a crucial role in kidney fibrosis, with activation occurring through both classical and alternative pathways. Studies in mice with unilateral ureteral obstruction reveal enhanced synthesis of complement C3 and C5 in renal tubular epithelial cells, along with increased expression of complement receptors C3ar1 and C5ar1 in interstitial cells, indicating compartmentalization of complement components during kidney injury. Global deletion of C3 and macrophage ablation can prevent inflammation and reduce kidney scarring, but further insights into the mechanisms of intracellular complement activation leading to fibrosis and progressive kidney disease could be gained from cell-specific deletion of complement components and regulators in mice.

Effect of Shenkang on renal fibrosis and activation of renal interstitial fibroblasts through the JAK2/STAT3 pathway

Tianyu Qin et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that SK inhibits fibroblast activation by regulating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, reducing extracellular matrix (ECM) and alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) expression in both in vitro and in vivo models, and attenuating renal fibrosis and pathological lesion degree in UUO mice. SK was also found to suppress JAK2/STAT3 activation and regulate related molecules such as peroxiredoxin 5 (Prdx5), suppressor of cytokine signaling protein 1 (SOCS1), and SOCS3.
