The Impact

Studying potential dietary exposure to antimicrobial drug residues via meat and dairy products is essential to ensure human health and consumer safety. When studying how antimicrobial residues in food impact the development of antimicrobial drug resistance and disrupt normal bacteria community structure in the intestine, there are diverse methodological challenges to overcome. In this study, traditional cultures and molecular analysis techniques were used to determine the effects of tetracycline at chronic subinhibitory exposure levels on human intestinal microbiota using an in vitro continuous flow bioreactor. Six bioreactor culture vessels containing human fecal suspensions were maintained at 37 °C for 7 days. After a steady state was achieved, the suspensions were dosed with 0, 0.015, 0.15, 1.5, 15, or 150 µg/mL tetracycline, respectively. Exposure to 150 µg/mL tetracycline resulted in a decrease of total anaerobic bacteria from 1.9 × 107 ± 0.3 × 107 down to 2 × 106 ± 0.8 × 106 CFU/mL. Dose-dependent effects of tetracycline were noted for perturbations of tetB and tetD gene expression and changes in acetate and propionate concentrations. Although no-observed-adverse-effect concentrations differed, depending on the traditional cultures and the molecular analysis techniques used, this in vitro continuous flow bioreactor study contributes to the knowledge base regarding the impact of chronic exposure of tetracycline on human intestinal microbiota.

Purple sweet potato leaves (PSPLs) are healthy vegetable that is rich in anti-oxidants. A solution of boiling water extract of PSPL (PSPLE) is believed to be able to prevent obesity and metabolic syndrome in the countryside of Taiwan, but its efficacy has not yet been verified. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible anti-adipogenesis effect of PSPLE in vitro. PSPLE was used to treat the 3T3-L1 cells, and the effects on cell proliferation and adipogenesis were investigated. The results showed that PSPLE caused a dose-dependent decrease in the cell proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, but did not alter the cell viability. In addition, PSPLE induced ERK inactivation in the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Furthermore, pre-treatment of confluent 3T3-L1 cells with PSPLE led to reduced lipid accumulation in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. The inhibition of lipogenesis could result from the PSPLE-induced down-regulation of the expression of the C/EBPα and SREBP-1 transcription factors during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation. These results suggest that PSPLE not only inhibits cell proliferation at an early stage but also inhibits adipogenesis at a later stage of the differentiation program.

Purple sweet potato anthocyanins are kinds of natural anthocyanin red pigments extracted from the root or stem of purple sweet potato. They are stable and have the functions of anti-oxidation, anti-mutation, anti-tumor, liver protection, hypoglycemia, and anti-inflammation, which confer them a good application prospect. Nevertheless, there is not a comprehensive review of purple sweet potato anthocyanins so far. The extraction, structural characterization, stability, functional activity, application in the food, cosmetics, medicine, and other industries of anthocyanins from purple sweet potato, together with their biotransformation in vitro or by gut microorganism are reviewed in this paper, which provides a reference for further development and utilization of anthocyanins.

Development of cleavage-stage pre-implantation embryos is disrupted by exposure to heat shock. Heat shock also increases intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in pre-implantation embryos. Therefore, reduction of intracellular ROS levels might improve the development of heat-shocked embryos. Recently the antioxidative activities of polyphenols have been widely reported to reduce the oxidative stress. In this study, we investigated the effect of purple sweet potato anthocyanin, a kind of polyphenol that is a strong ROS scavenger, on development and intracellular redox status of bovine pre-implantation embryos exposed to heat shock. Experiment 1: In vitro-produced 8-16-cell-stage embryos on Day 2 after fertilization were exposed to 41.5�C for 6 h in CR1aa containing 0, 0.1, 1, and 10 �g/mL anthocyanin at 5% CO2, 5% O2, and 90% N2. After heat shock, embryos were cultured at 38.5�C at 5% CO2, 5% O2 until Day 8. On Day 8, the proportion of embryos developing to the blastocyst stage was evaluated. Blastocyst total cell number and the ratio between inner cell mass and tropheoderm were evaluated by differential staining. The experiment was replicated five times with more than 70 embryos used in each treatment. Experiment 2: Heat shock treatment of in vitro-produced 8-16-cell-stage embryos was carried out as described in experiment 1. After heat shock, intracellular ROS and glutathione (GSH) levels were measured in individual 8-16 cell stage embryos with fluorescent probes (22,72-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate for ROS and CellTracker" Blue (Invitrogen Japan K. K., Tokyo, Japan) for GSH). The fluorescence emissions of each treatment were normalized to those of 8-16 cell stage embryos cultured at 38.5�C without anthocyanin to obtain the relative fluorescence emission. This experiment was replicated four times. Embryos treated with heat stress without anthocyanin (0 �g/mL) showed low development (14.6 � 3.6%) and blastocyst total cell number (88.2 � 9.4). However, embryos treated with 0.1 �g/mL anthocyanin improved development (31.7 � 4.5%, P < 0.05) and increased the total cell number (96.5 � 11.3). The higher concentrations of anthocyanin (1 and 10 �g/mL) did not affect development and cell number. The intracellular ROS levels in heat-shocked embryos were significantly reduced by all concentrations of anthocyanin (P < 0.05). In addition, anthocyanin increased GSH levels at all doses tested (P < 0.05). These results indicate that an appropriate concentration of anthocyanin improves development by regulating intracellular redox balance in bovine embryos exposed to heat shock.

Purple sweet potato color (PSPC), a naturally occurring anthocyanin, has a powerful antioxidant activity in vitro and in vivo. This study explores whether PSPC has the neuroprotective effect on the aging mouse brain induced by D-galactose (D-gal). The mice administrated with PSPC (100 mg/kg.day, 4 weeks, from 9th week) via oral gavage showed significantly improved behavior performance in the open field and passive avoidance test compared with D-gal-treated mice (500 mg/kg.day, 8 weeks). We further investigate the mechanism involved in neuroprotective effects of PSPC on mouse brain. Interestingly, we found, PSPC decreased the expression level of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inhibited nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB), increased the activity of copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) and catalase (CAT), and reduced the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), respectively. Our data suggested that PSPC attenuated D-gal-induced cognitive impairment partly via enhancing the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity.
