    Abstract Sea urchin is a popular food all over the world, of which eggs are main edible part. Previous studies suggested that polysaccharides from eggs of Strongylocentrotus nudus (SEP) exhibited immunomodulatory activities during anti-tumor therapy, nevertheless, effects of SEP on inflammatory bowel disease and its underlying mechanisms have never been reported. In the present study, we showed that the SEP inhibited dextran sodium sulfate-induced ulcerative colitis characterized by decreased disease activity index, restored colon length and body weight, improved histopathological changes, down-regulation of inflammatory cytokines levels and Th17/Treg ratios in C57BL/6 J mice. Moreover, immunofluorescence analysis suggested that SEP repaired gut barrier in UC mice, while 16S rDNA sequencing exhibited improved intestinal flora. Mechanistically, we found SEP significantly modulated autophagy-related factors in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), while might contributed to pathogenesis of UC. Furthermore, we demonstrated PI3K/Akt pathway was involved in regulatory effect of SEP on lipopolysaccharide-induced autophagy of HT-29 cells. Besides, among possible polysaccharide binding receptors, change of the CD36 expression was most significant, which was associated with PI3K/Akt signals. Collectively, our study showed for the first time that the SEP might be used a prebiotic agent to improve IBD through regulating CD36-PI3K/Akt mediated autophagy of IECs.

    Abstract Background: Purinergic P2 receptors, which can be divided into ionotropic P2X receptors and metabotropic P2Y receptors, mediate cellular signal transduction of purine or pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphates and diphosphate. Based on the wide expression of purinergic P2 receptors in tissues and organs, their significance in homeostatic maintenance, metabolism, nociceptive transmission, and other physiological processes is becoming increasingly evident, suggesting that targeting purinergic P2 receptors to regulate biological functions and signal transmission holds significant promise for disease treatment.
    Aim of review: This review highlights the detailed mechanisms by which purinergic P2 receptors engage in physiological and pathological progress, as well as providing prospective strategies for discovering clinical drug candidates.
    Key scientific concepts of review: The purinergic P2 receptors regulate complex signaling and molecular mechanisms in nervous system, digestive system, immune system and as a result, controlling physical health states and disease progression. There has been a significant rise in research and development focused on purinergic P2 receptors, contributing to an increased number of drug candidates in clinical trials. A few influential pioneers have laid the foundation for advancements in the evaluation, development, and of novel purinergic P2 receptors modulators, including agonists, antagonists, pharmaceutical compositions and combination strategies, despite the different scaffolds of these drug candidates. These advancements hold great potential for improving therapeutic outcomes by specifically targeting purinergic P2 receptors.

    Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a kind of heart, brain, and blood vessel injury disease by the interaction of various pathological factors. The pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease is complex with various risk factors, including abnormally elevated blood pressure, glucose, and lipid metabolism disorders, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, etc. Plant polysaccharides are a special class of natural products derived from plant resources, which have the characteristics of wide sources, diverse biological activities, and low toxicity or side effects. Many studies have shown that plant polysaccharides improve cardiovascular diseases through various mechanisms such as anti-oxidative stress, restoring the metabolism of biological macromolecules, regulating the apoptosis cascade to reduce cell apoptosis, and inhibiting inflammatory signal pathways to alleviate inflammation. This article reviews the pharmacological effects and protective mechanisms of some plant polysaccharides in modulating the cardiovascular system, which is beneficial for developing more effective drugs with low side effects for management of cardiovascular diseases.

    Abstract Kelch-like ECH-associated protein (Keap1)-nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) protein-protein interaction has become an important drug target for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In this study, we found a novel piperine derivative (HJ22) synthesized by our group with great ability to bind to Keap-1 and activate Keap1-Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway in vitro, driving us to investigate the beneficial effects of HJ22 on ibotenic acid (IBO)-induced neurological disorders in rats and underlying mechanisms. Interestingly, HJ22 significantly ameliorated IBO-induced cognitive impairment in Morris water maze, Y-maze and passive avoidance tests. Moreover, HJ22 significantly attenuated cholinergic dysfunction and neuronal morphological changes via inhibiting apoptotic cell death induced by IBO. Notably, HJ22 inhibited the interaction between Keap1 and Nrf2, and subsequently up-regulated nuclear Nrf2 expression, thereby inhibiting oxidative stress and Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP)-mediated Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation. These findings demonstrated that HJ22 exhibited potent therapeutic effects against IBO-induced cognitive impairment by alleviating cholinergic damage, oxidative stress, apoptosis and neuroinflammation, which might be partly attributed to its inhibitory activity on Keap1-Nrf2 protein-protein interaction.
